<h4>Chapter 32: Demon and Angel</h4>


    Raven nced at the lifeless woman behind him. So she really wasn''t trying to harm him? She was looking for a Master?


    The woman was a puppet made by someone. However, in the entire forest, there was no Puppet Master. He had already searched. That left only him..


    He finally understood why she was trying to get him to agree. However, he was still suspicious about some things.


    Unfortunately, he didn''t have any other options. An extra ss was only an advantage, especially since it was a high ss. It was better than being trapped in this prison for long.


    Raven knew that the woman had lifeless eyes. However, he didn''t know why, he felt that there was some hope in her eyes as she looked at him.


    [Yes]


    He finally selected an option. He epted the option to make a new yer Character that he could freely switch back and forth with.


    [Please Select an Avatar Name]


    "Not this again... All the names will be taken again, won''t they?"


    "Fine, I select Arash."


    [Name has been approved]


    "Huh?" Raven expected to go back and forth for at least a few hours. However, to his surprise, it was approved right away.


    [Would you like to switch to Arash?"


    On the screen, permanent options appeared which allowed him to switch back and forth between his saved Avatars.


    While his main avatar was based on his real looks, that wasn''t the case for his new avatar. Even Raven didn''t know what his new avatar was going to look like.


    He affirmed and switched to his new avatar.


    A pitch ck mist surrounded him, making it impossible for anyone to see what was happening inside the mist.


    After a few moments, the mist disappeared and his new avatar emerged.


    Raven still looked to be the same age. However, his entire visage was different. His eyes were much darker, and his face was paler. It was as if his body alsocked blood.


    Raven''s new avatar made him look much more serious. There were some intricate tattoos on his arms and shoulder, showing some strange symbols.


    Overall, he appeared more intimidating than before, and it was clear that his new avatar wouldmand respect from anyone who crossed his path.


    At the same time, Raven also noticed that he felt much weaker. A status screen was present before him, which showed him that his new Avatar was only level one, starting from scratch.

    Raven''s new avatar didn''t possess any equipment, or any titles that his main avatar possessed. However, strangely enough, Raven''s Exclusive Skill was still avable even in this new avatar.


    "No wonder it feels so weak. However, this Bloodline skills... How do they help me get to the Ind?"


    Raven talked to himself, going through the description of each skill.


    "The skills..."


    As he went through each of the skills, his eyes revealed some surprises.


    His Forbidden Heir main skill was more unique. However, the skills of a Puppet Master appeared more versatile. The only problem was that he couldn''t hear the voice of gods in this avatar and he was also very weak.


    ****


    Three dayster, Raven was once again standing on the edge of the ind.


    He had finally mastered all the new skills. Even though his level was still the same, but he learned more things about his new Bloodline now. And what came as a surprise was the woman!


    As soon as he epted the Bloodline, the woman had be his Contracted Puppet.


    She still couldn''t talk to him, but Raven could now understand her better.


    Moreover, he now had a better idea as to why the woman said that he could leave the Ind after taking the Bloodline! It was because the woman herself could fly!


    Now that Raven epted the Bloodline, she was also free of this Ind, and could leave with her new master! There was nothing else holding her back.


    Another thing that surprised Raven was that the woman was a special puppet. It couldn''t level up by killing others, but it could grow stronger with its master!


    Her strength depended on Raven''s strength in his second Avatar.


    The woman grabbed Raven''s hands, as soon as he gave hismand. Two beautiful wings appeared behind her back. One wing looked like an angel''s wings while the other looked like a demon''s wings.


    Those wings looked real as well, which made Raven wonder just who this woman used to be, before she died and was made into a puppet? How could she have characteristics of two opposite Bloodlines?


    Unfortunately, other than some basic information about her skills, he didn''t get any information about her.


    There were many questions in his head. Why was this Bloodline kept there? Why was this woman waiting there? And who exactly was the Demon General of Puppetry?


    He only ced his hopes on getting an answer from the Novice Vige. However, with his current strength in this avatar, he knew he had to be careful


    The woman brought Raven closer to the Ind.


    Even though many people were flying around the Ind, none of them tried to stop him. It was as if there was no security needed in this ce. There was no barrier either.


    Raven''s feet soonnded on the ground safely. The woman alsonded next to him. Her body was covered in a cloak and her mouth was covered with a mask. Only her beautiful eyes were revealed, which hid her identity of a puppet.


    Finally, he was there... On the Novice Floating Ind, starting his new journey. The entire ind was crowded with people, contrary to his expectations. He could see almost every species here, except humans.
