Son of Chaos 82 Spirit Sparrow

"I don't know about anything else, but the 'Blessing of the Spirit' should be because of me.", at this moment Lin's voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Your's?", Ivan asked in surprise. The others too looked at her waiting for an explanation.

"Mm. Here in this realm we don't really have any contact with bloodlines, since we can't make use of them. After all the Systems restrains here are much stronger than in the other realms. But I heard from someone in the main family of the upper realm, that our family has a faint bloodline of the Spirit Sparrow."

"Bloodline? You mean like the monsters here?"

"Yes. Not only monsters, humans too have bloodlines. They are just more diluted and have to be heavily purified before they can be used. I'm not sure, but I have heard that one needs to be at least of Earth Rank to be able to purify ones bloodline and use the inherited technique."

"So that's how it is.", Carl nodded. "It seems like you have a bloodline too, Ivan.", he then continued, surprising the others in the room.

"Huh? Ivan has one too?", Lin asked. She had speculated that if the 'Blessing of the Spirit' was there because of her, then the others should be because of the Ivan or the other girl she could now sense. Or maybe it was a combination, but she hadn't expected that Carl would know something about it. After all he hadn't heard about the bloodlines of humans before.

Carl gave Ivan a questioning look. He wanted to know if it was alright for him to disclose information about his 'Son of Chaos' title. After all he only knew about it because Lara had told him about it.

Ivan thought for a bit. He didn't really want others to know about it, but he realized that everyone here had more or less a familial relationship with him. Although it was a bit more distant in the case of the members of the Mueller family. As such he nodded his consent.

Seeing his nod, Carl then continued with his explanation, "I think so. He has a title called 'Son of Chaos', which can be passed on to his family and descendants. Even though I don't understand why someone who marries him get something like this. In case of a child it should be because of a bloodline."

He then suddenly stopped, realizing that he had given them a bit more information than he had planned. Jenny and Miranda knew about Lara and Jane, while Lin had been able to sense another person through the ring and had realized this way that Ivan had another wife, but the others were clueless.

"What Ivan? You are already married and even have a child?", Ted exclaimed in surprise. Ivan was even younger than him and he already had two wives and a child, while he himself was still single? How could the world be so unfair?

Ivan saw that everyone looked at him in curiosity, besides these that already knew about it. He could only sight helplessly and explain, while trying to hide as much information as possible.

"Yes, but the situation is a bit complicated. Did my talkative mentor tell you anything about me?", he then asked, while glaring at Carl. He felt angry at him, for disclosing so much information about him. And now he had to tell them even more, but he was sure that if he didn't, they, or at least Ted, wouldn't let him get away with silence.

"I didn't tell them much.", Carl ignored the glare.

"Hm,", Ivan hummed, not really believing him, "then as you may or may not know, I have a Hard Reset behind me." When he said that everyone's gaze changed. In there gaze there was now mixed in some admiration, because only great figures could have a Hard Reset happen to them, as well as empathy for losing his former life.

Ignoring their gazes Ivan continued, "Now the wife and child are something from before the Hard Reset, that I met again. There are some circumstances, that I don't want to tell, but I wasn't really close to them before the reset, so they didn't really know anything about the me before. So don't even ask about who I was before.", he then warned them, anticipating their next questions.

"So that's how it is. And here I was wondering how you managed to find a wife and even sire a child while still being so young.", Ted let out a breath of relieve. It seemed like he had really taken it to heart that Ivan had a child before him. "Damn, now that you got a wife, I need to find one to and hurriedly have a child before you can do it. Then at least in this life I can beat you at it.", he then senselessly made up a competition.

Ivan looked at him, like he was crazy. But seeing that the others had no reaction he guessed that it wasn't anything unusual and decided to ignore him. At least he had lighten the atmosphere in the room.

"Oh, so that's how it is. You must have been really lucky to have met them again so soon.", Lin said. "Maybe one of the blessings is because of her then.", she speculated, before continuing, "And if there are other's you haven't met, then maybe they too have a influence on these blessings."

Ivan hadn't thought about that before, so when he heard her words, he was astonished. * Don't tell me there really is another one? Or maybe even more? * He had found even one wife to much and now, because of the weird feeling he had, when he had seen the marriage contract Lin gave him, he had two. What the f**k would he do if there were even more?
