Dawn of light - Reincarnated as a villain

Chapter 28 - Sin Bloodline

[Ding!]

[Sylvia's bloodline is reacting to her emotions!]

The moment the message popped up, a light pink light enveloped Sylvia, becoming brighter and more intense every second. The energy vibrated in a rhythm reminiscent of a heartbeat, radiating outward from her body in waves.

Her breathing became more rapid, and the aura's intensity grew stronger until it completely surrounded her. The energy surrounding her became so thick that her clothes were ripped to shreds, exposing her naked body to the world. Zephyx's eyes widened for a moment as he involuntarily looked at her body before hastily looking away.

In Zyraleth, people matured faster than on Earth, and despite being only 15 years old, Sylvia's body had already started to shape up, her breasts not being too large but still endearing.

Her pale skin seemed almost luminous under the pink glow, and her light pink hair fluttered as though caught in an invisible breeze. She stood tall and regal within the radiant energy, her transformation mesmerizing to behold.

Within moments, the aura condensed into a cocoon around her, encasing her in a large, egg-like structure of light. The room grew silent as the cocoon pulsated gently, its surface shimmering like molten glass.

[Ding!]

[Sylvia's category is reacting to her bloodline!]

Time passed slowly, the tension thick in the air. Zephyx kept his eyes on the cocoon. Then, after what felt like an eternity, cracks began to form along its surface.

/Crack/

A slender, pale hand reached out, pressing through the shimmering shell. Another hand emerged, and the cocoon collapsed, fragments of the shimmering shell dropping off to expose Sylvia's new form.

Her light pink hair, giving it a soft, radiant glow that seemed to catch the light in a hypnotic way. Her once-vampiric red eyes had shifted to an alluring gray, their intensity almost magnetic. Her delicate features had evolved, radiating a commanding and ethereal beauty that seemed both regal and dangerous.

Zephyx's eyes lingered for a moment, taking in her new form, before a system notification jolted him out of his thoughts.

[Ding!]

[A dress has been added to your inventory!]

[Host, you should provide clothing. She is naked right now!]

He pulled out the dress from his inventory, a faint flush on his face. Approaching her cautiously, he held it out to her.

"Put this on," he instructed, his voice firm in spite of the residual warmth in his cheeks. Then, with no further comment, he turned and departed from the room, leaving her to her privacy.

Sylvia stood there for a moment, holding the dress in her hands. Her lips curled into a small, warm smile...what she thought it was.

"Ahh, he was blushing while looking at me," she mused softly to herself. "Does he like my figure? Maybe I should try more revealing clothes for him..." Her cheeks darkened slightly at the thought.

But then doubt crept into her mind. "What if he starts hating me because of that? I can't afford to lose him." Her thoughts grew more and more possessive as her gaze lingered on the door where he had exited.

She looked down at the dress in her hands and couldn't help but admire its beauty. It was elegant, with an intricate design. The fabric was predominantly red with floral lace patterns that extended across the back and arms. A corset-style lace-up detail adorned the back, enhancing its form-fitting silhouette. Delicate embroidery and embellishments gave the dress a romantic and sophisticated appearance, while sheer areas added a layered, ethereal look. Vibrant red ribbons and floral decorations, like roses, completed the design, making the dress as enchanting as the girl who now held it.

After donning the dress, Sylvia exited the room. Zephyx turned to glance at her and was struck with a brief instant of shock. She was stunning. The proper dress only added to her already otherworldly demeanor, her light pink hair and gray eyes making her seem like the subject of a heavenly painting.

He calmed his nerves quickly, though, pushing aside the momentary distraction. With a flick of his fingers, he summoned her status screen.

[Status – Sylvia Duskwood]

Zephyx gazed at her stats, shocked by the sudden spike. Every attribute had hit the cap of Tier-1, way higher than he had anticipated.

Then his eyes landed on her bloodline. He furrowed his brow and questioned the system, "Why did her sin changed, system?"

[Of course, it changed, Host. You completed her revenge, which was supposed to be the trigger for her wraith awakening. Since you interfered, the bloodline adapted to the circumstances.]

"That explains it," he thought, before something else caught his eye. "But why did she awaken the Lust sin?"

The system remained silent on the matter, and Zephyx chose not to dwell on it further. His curiosity moved to another part of her status.

"Why is her category removed from her status, system?"

[Because her bloodline and category merged during the transformation. She no longer requires a separate category—her bloodline defines her entirety now.]

Zephyx nodded, processing the information, though his thoughts lingered on the term Lust's Temptress. He glanced back at Sylvia, who was now standing confidently before him.

Her eyes glowed with a new sense of power and devotion as she smiled gently at him. But beneath that smile was something else—a possessiveness that teetered on the edge of obsession. To her, Zephyx was not only her savior but her world, and she had no intention of allowing anyone else to intrude between them.

After examining Sylvia's status, Zephyx decided to delve deeper into her bloodline. With a simple click on the Bloodline section, a new page opened before him.

Zephyx read on through the description, his eyes opening in awe with every new skill and ability.

"What the heck... Why does she have so many skills and abilities?! Skills? I didn't even get that crap" he exclaimed inwardly, totally shocked.

[Ding!]

[Host, first of all, your bloodline is locked, and your category is powerful. It is you who is weak. You have only gained limited abilities from your category, which you can use without taking a toll on your body.]

Zephyx felt his face heat with embarrassment at the system's blunt response. The disdain in its tone stung more than he'd like to admit.

"Hah... I'm still so weak," he muttered under his breath, a sense of frustration welling up inside him.

Just as he was lost in thought, Sylvia's soft voice broke through his mental haze.

".....Sylvia"

Startled, he turned to look at her. "What?"

"My name is Sylvia," she said, her voice soft but clear. A faint red tint colored her cheeks, making her look even more endearing. "What's your name?"

Zephyx blinked, suddenly realizing that he had never introduced himself to her before.

"Zephyx," he said simply.

The instant the name passed his lips, Sylvia's face brightened into a look of unadulterated happiness. Her gray eyes twinkled as she gave a warm smile, the kind of smile that could soften the hardest of hearts.

"Zephyx," she repeated softly, as if savoring the sound of his name.
