The quarters of the Li Clan leader were quiet as the single occupant of the room contemplated his next creation. He has been ruminating on the topic for the past three days of seclusion and while it was far-fetched, it could work if the capability of his golden finger was as immense as it claimed. It was just the price that he hoped was not too steep, though he imagined that if this were to be done, he could see a great return like his previous creation. If this were to be done, their clan could become a force that was everlasting as long as a single individual of the same bloodline remained alive. It was the ultimate way of building up the clan’s foundation and survival simultaneously. With careful and deliberate words, he spoke.
“I wish to create a mental library within an isolated pocket of the mind that anyone with the blood of the Li Clan is given access to upon birth. Time, or at least the perception of time within the library where there is a ratio of 6 years being equivalent to an hour of reality. This library will have every skill created by a Li Clan member from the past, present & future. The library will update itself instantly upon the creation of a new skill by a clan member. This will be called the Li Records.”
{ [Request Accepted!] To create what the host has specified requires 1 million Creation Tokens. Do you wish to proceed? [Yes/No] }
The joy that Li Wei felt at this moment could not be put into words. The lost legacy of the clan had been a stain on the clan’s history for thousands of years. Being pushed out of a nation and forced to settle in a foreign empire to reestablish what they could of their former glory! It was an embarrassing tale and even to this day, many of the clan have a sleeping fury over the ancient past. Now, everything has changed! He has a way of bringing back his clan’s former status as a 4th Step faction and even surpassing it by leagues!
“Yes!” He shouted at the top of his lungs.
When that word escaped his lips, it felt as if time itself had frozen. Everything around him became a diluted grey and crackling could be heard across the air. A multitude of spatial fissures appeared and vanished subsequently across what could be only described as the fabric of reality. He could not breathe, move, talk, or do anything at the moment. All he could do was watch as a horrifying presence came into the picture and pressed down on him with the weight of an entire world. A notification opened in front of his eyes.

‘Fuck’
That was the only thought that crossed his mind when he saw this. He had been too risky with his request. He should have known that creating something that is essentially a copy of the Sorceror Class with a few more modifications was a bit stupid but he had hoped that there were enough differences that it would not have been noticed. What a load of bullshit! He readied himself for his eventual demise as more text appeared in front of his eyes.
[Bloodline Trait attained! For being the first bloodline since the First Sorcerer to manifest a trait, the information will be marked as classified for exactly one million years from this point in time. As the acknowledged Progenitor of this bloodline, Li Wei will be able to view the full status information of any individual carrying the Li Clan Bloodline. Furthermore, as with any member of the Li Clan, identifying whether others have the trait will not be obstructed by skill rank.]
The unfathomable presence dispersed soon after and a dazed Li Wei could only look into the distance in shock, fear, and relief mixed into a chaotic mess of emotions. He had been certain that he was going to be eradicated any minute. A deep sigh released from his lips as his eyes gazed at another notification, one from a less terrifying god-like entity.
{[Improbable] Achievement Earned! For gaining the direct recognition of an almighty existence that is on par with The Ultimate Creator System, you have gained 15.3 Million Creation Tokens.}
“This day cannot stop with the surprises! If I stick to C Grade creations as my limit, I could produce up to 15 C Grade creations now!”
This was a massive haul of tokens and would last a long time if managed properly. For now, Li Wei decided to try out his new toy as he could feel the mental trigger to enter the Li Records begging for his attention.
‘Hopefully, that stunt didn’t cause too much of a panic for the others…’
This thought came to him as the world around him morphed into a large endless room with rows upon rows of shelves.
-----
Contrary to his hopes, it did cause quite a panic as every member of the Li Clan who was not Li Wei received a sudden migraine and this message that followed.
[You have been bestowed a Bloodline Trait by the individual Li Wei. Information about this trait will be classified for exactly 1 million years. Even without the required skill rank, all members of the Li Clan will be able to identify whether an individual has this trait.]
As everyone was in an uproar over this situation, a teenage boy who was the younger brother of Li Wei looked at his sister who had been sparing with him moments ago. He identified her as she did him. It was nearly the same as they remembered except for a single detail.
