《Philippine Lore》BK1; Chapter 3: [ The Inheritance ]

Surprise, Astonishment, Amazement. These kind of things seemed to have been reflected on her two beautiful bright eyes.
How’s that possible? I mean she’s an AI … right?
For a moment, Rain seemed to have been confused and surprised at the same time but seeing that the girl’s poker face returned as if her reactions just a while ago was nothing but an illusion, he held back his thoughts and didn’t planned to pursue the matter any longer.
I must have been mistaken …. I mean she’s an AI, maybe there’s a bug or something~
- Based on system check, you carried very ancient bloodlines.
However, the next words she spoke made Rain dumbfounded.
Ancient bloodlines?
Noticing Rain’s confusion, the beautiful AI smiled faintly: - In your blood runs a very ancient bloodline. A very distinguished bloodline … a bloodline of a hero.
A hero ?
Rain shook his head in disbelief. “What are you talking about?”
- Not just one but two … no, four unexpectedly.
At this moment, Rain was getting even more confused. For him, it seemed like the AI in front of him was talking in Chinese or even in Japanese as he couldn’t understand her anymore.
Just what is she talking about?
Hero? What Hero?
And why is she looking at me like I’m some sort of an alien or something. Is he a new strange animal species?
“Ahm, hey can you talk in Filipino please, I can’t understand you …”
- I apologize for my misbehavior. Anyway, in your blood carried the bloodline of four ancient Filipino heroes.
“Ancient Filipino Heroes?!”
- Yes. Indeed.
“Ahm, I heard my great-grandfather always said that our ancestor was a great hero. But … heroes? I mean, I thought that was a joke?”
The AI didn’t answer Rain’s question and instead looked at him with a faint smile. However, her expression was already way different than before.
Sadly, Rain never noticed this as he was immersed on his thoughts.
- As the one carrying the bloodline of a Hero and a very pure one at that you are qualified for the inheritance.
“Inheritance?” said Rain, his mouth gaping.
How could there be a word so pleasant to the ears?
It was as if the girl you had a huge crush on for a whole twenty years suddenly told you; ‘Hey, I love you! Let’s get married tomorrow~’

What sweet words.
“Wh-What are you talking about? What inheritance?” Rain managed.
He tried to sound calm about it, but sadly it failed. His excitement was reflected from his eyes that seemed like it would emit laser beams like Cyclops of X-men in any moment.
The AI didn’t seem to mind him as she just calmly looked at him.
- Inheritance. Just from the word, it meant that someone possessing a specific bloodline can take the inheritance left by his ancestors, The AI explained.
After a moment, she finally started to explain to him what she meant by ‘Inheritance.’
As he listened to her explanation, his eyes slowly began to glow brightly.
According to her explanation, players who possess ancient bloodlines especially those with the higher rarity which was [ Hero Bloodline ], they will be able to receive that hero’s equipment or even his skills. This was what you call
‘The Inheritance’
However, the extent of that good fortune depended on how high the luck of that player was because the inheritance can’t be chosen directly but was randomly given.
Because of this the chances of inheriting good skills or equipment is low. According to the beautiful AI, there were already players who managed to receive inheritance but could only receive normal equipment or skills.
Though these skills would definitely be better than the skills acquired in the early stages of the game.
There were only 10% chance to inherit the hero’s innate skills, 8% chance for the best equipment and 2% chance for godly skills and equipment.
But still, I had some chance~
Even so, Rain remained optimistic.
- …normally, players who possess these kinds of bloodlines or ‘The Inheritors’ is what we call them was only given two opportunities, but you are different… The beautiful AI explained.
“Different?”
- Yes. As the one who possess four different ancient hero bloodlines, you can receive two things from each of your ancestors.
“T-Two ? And I had four, right. So it means … wait, I can get eight things?!”
Seeing that Rain seemed to be paying rapt attention to her, the beautiful AI couldn’t help but showed a faint yet gentle smile.
She continued on to explain in further details, not concealing anything at all from him.
What she didn’t know was that Rain was actually only half paying attention to her. The other half of his attention was focused on the things he could inherit from these so-called ancestors.

Damn! What the heck is this feeling as if I was starving for a whole week when suddenly out of nowhere, a still hot, juicy meat pie fell in front of me?
Oh my god! And this meat pie was actually not an ordinary meat pie but a meat pie baked by a goddess!
He suddenly felt an icy feeling tingling up his spine.
This is what I call a Cheat!
The more he thought about it, the more his excitement comes out.
Nonetheless, he couldn’t help but subconsciously rub his right hand as he thought about the things he could get.
- However, you can only receive one inheritance after every five levels.
Oh? So I can’t take all of it immediately? What a pity, oh well at least I had something I could look forward to~
- At this moment, you can only take one inheritance.
The beautiful AI continued.
- Goddess Alunsina, Hero Dumalapdap and his beloved wife Lubay Lubyok Mahanginun si Mahuyokhuyokan and Hero Aliguyon. Which one of these three will you choose to inherit first?
Having heard the explanation up to this point, Rain’s eyes flickered.
Wow! These names were freaking familiar! I never heard I had such blood? Is this real or not?
Alunsina the virgin goddess of the eastern skies!
Dumalapdap; A demi-god! Son of Alunsina and Datu Paubari.
Hero Dumalapdap’s beloved wife and the goddess of the night breeze; Lubay Lubyok Mahanginun si Mahuyokhuyokan!
And lastly, the famous invincible hero Aliguyon; Hero of the Ifugao or Hudhud!
And these four were my ancestors? Damn! So cool!
I never thought I had a blood of a demi-god! If this is real then …
What should I do?!
Nothing … I guess. Not like I had some special powers in real life anyway. And I lived for almost seventeen years to confirm that!
Thus, let’s quit day dreaming and face this first.
However, who should I pick first? For the early stages, Hero Dumalapdap and Hero Aliguyon would be the best choice
because they were both great warriors.
Addition to my class as a Mage… then Hero Aliguyon seemed better.
“… …”
Rain thought about this for a moment.
Oh well, I guess I’ll choose him~
“I’ll choose Hero Aliguyon first then, please.”
- As you wish.
Hearing her response, Rain’s eyes began to gleam with anticipation.
Then a virtual wheel appeared. There was a needle and a button.
On the wheel were the words, “Item Category”, “Consumption Category”, “Skills Category” and “Special Category”.
Each category had a respective color and its own region. The four regions were different in size.
The Consumption Category took up a large portion of the wheel – nearly half of it. Next up were the Skills and Item Categories. It took up nearly the other half of the wheel. The smallest region was the Special Category. It only took up a tiny region and was nearly invisible.
Above the virtual wheel, words suddenly appeared!
Category Explanation:
[Consumption Category]: One-time use disposable consumable item. These were often in the form of food such as fruits, crystals or even magic scrolls.
[Item Category]: Items and equipment personally owned and used by the Ancestor.
[Skills Category]: Skill's owned by the Ancestor and can be passed down by his/her own descendant.
[Special Category]: Unknown things.
Rain was confused but still he held some expectations.
As for the special category, although he doesn’t know what it is but because it was there then it should be a good thing.
Without hesitation, he pressed the button to begin the inheritance.
Ting!
The virtual wheel began to rotate. The needle on the wheel kept moving as the wheel rotated clockwise extremely fast. After a few seconds, the needle slowed down and finally landed on the biggest area on the wheel, the Skills Category.
A skill!!!
By this point, the anticipation in the AI’s eyes was incredibly strong.
The first inheritance was completed!
A tiny golden treasure chest appeared.
The prize was automatically in front of him.
How do you use it? Rain tried stretching his hand into the chest. His hand actually entered as if the golden chest was just an illusion.
Then, with a flash of golden light, the treasure chest disappeared and a ‘Ding!’ sound could be heard ringing out.
System Notification! You have learned ‘Aliguyon’s Battle Endurance!’
Hearing these words caused Rain’s eyes to gleam with admiration. He was obviously quite pleased to hear such news.
Seeing Rain’s excited expression, the beautiful AI who was looking at him on the side couldn’t help but showed a gentle smile.
- Congratulations on your success! Now then, to finalize the character registration, Please select your character’s name.
