The Invincible Full-Moon System

Rex inhaled sharply, his vision was overwhelmed by a flood of System notifications.

He was focusing on becoming stronger and was not expecting any sudden news like this.

Scanning through the entire notifications—he realized that he didn't know one thing and that is the fact that an occupation of the pack members could be upgraded. He knew that he was able to change the others' occupations with new ones that were listed on the shop, however, he was not aware of them, having an upgraded version—and there were even ranks for them too.

Not to mention the upgraded version gave him and the associated pack member benefits.

A lot of benefits to be exact.

One such thing is the effects that Kyran gained as long as he remained within their territory.

From the explanation, Dargena City was not the limited territory that was taken into account, the territories under the Silverstar Pack—such as the pack's affiliations were also considered as the Silverstar Pack's territory which includes the kingdoms under the Clarentium Empire.

Moreover, the bonus stats he gained from having Kyran as his pack member were increased.

Normally, all pack members would provide him with a 5% stats increase.

Since he has 9 pack members as of this moment—all of his stats were increased by 45%, but now that increase, changed to 50% with Kyran's occupation, being upgraded to tier 2. "If this is the case, I could increase my power without having the need to be bothered by increasing, the number of pack members"

Rex couldn't hide his smile anymore, this turn of events is basically a sudden fortune for him.

At last, good news came his way after being bombarded with bad news.

Even though he knows that he would be a lot stronger by maxing his pack members, the fact that it comes with the trouble of managing them dissuades Rex from doing that. Moreover, it is also undesirable for him to turn random people into his pack members.

He was being picky for a reason though, not that he solely didn't want to.

If any of them bore killing intent or ill intention towards him, that feeling would be amplified.

All of those intentions would be carried over even when they were turned into a Werewolf.

Despite the fact that they would have absolute loyalty to him last he Alpha—their feeling was still out of control, and that might make them disobedient. Dealing with such matters is a real headache, which is why Rex is careful in adding his pack members.

But now, with this, he could focus on the existing pack members.

He will become stronger by putting more effort into them.

"Now, how do you explain this, System?" Rex commented, feeling surreal with this power-up.

<Upon the System's successful upgrade, the tier 2 occupation has been unlocked>

Reading this, Rex flicked his fingers, "I knew it, there weren't any tier 2 occupations before"

<All pack members' occupations, now have a chance to be upgraded to tier 2 occupations. In order to achieve that, the pack member themselves needs to have an extreme burst of will or emotion to serve the Alpha. If that burst was detected—their occupation, would be upgraded to the best one suited for their inner self>

<For instance—Kyran Cervantes felt an extremely high dissatisfaction towards those who are under the Alpha, the troublemakers. Because of that—his occupation was upgraded from the regular Beta to Beta Enforcer occupation>

Since this is a new feature, Rex reads through the explanation attentively.

Eventually, he nodded in understanding.

Judging from the explanation, he realized that Kyran was now dealing with the Dark Elves.

He wouldn't reacted like this if not for the Dark Elves.

Not too long ago, Rex had already told Kyran to punish the Dark Elves as Flunra definitely did not do a good job—and now, something must've happened there that made him burst, as the System stated.

Rex looked to the side, wondering, "I'm curious, what did the Dark Elves do to him?"

Knowing full well how dark Kyran would be, especially after that time when he did grotesque atrocities when extracting information from a Vampire—using a method of torture that could even catch Rex by surprise, Rex was also curious as to what punishment Kyran decided on.

It would be better if he was there to watch, but he couldn't due to the circumstances.

Out of anything, he couldn't waste time by watching Kyran in action.

However, no matter what Kyran decided to do, Rex put full trust in his decision.

Compared to Flunra, Kyran would see to it that those Dark Elves are punished appropriately.

Anyone who tries to harm the pack—especially someone like the Luna—no matter how small, the pain caused would still need to be punished accordingly. Other than the fact Rex was not welcoming of such behavior, it would also dissuade others from causing trouble.

Now that he's Emperor, there's also the problem with the other kingdoms.

If he is soft on the Dark Elves, then the other kingdoms might feel a type of way about that.

Even then, Rex secretly thanked the Dark Elves for acting up.

Despite what they did to Evelyn was unacceptable, there's still a good outcome from this.

Shaking his head, he focuses back on the moment, on the notifications.

"Hmm... so the others could also upgrade their occupations" Rex mused excitedly.

If having a Beta Enforcer gave him so many rewards—then he could not wait for the others to also reach tier 2 occupations. Moreover—there is also the fact that the others would become way stronger with their tier 2 occupations.

Out of the pack members, he has high hopes for Adhara and Flunra the most.

Both were the most active out of all members, so he was looking forward to their upgrades.

"Can I upgrade their occupations manually and dictate their path?" Rex asked.

<No, the user can't upgrade their occupations manually>

<An upgrade could only be sparked through the pack members themselves>

Upon reading this, Rex clicked his tongue but he was already expecting this kind of answer.

"But the question is, how intense the extreme burst of will to serve me need to be, to trigger an upgrade? I could ask Kyran when he gets back—then again, he might not be fully truthful to me as this involved his inner feelings" He mused in contemplation.

Shortly after, however, a mysterious smile crept to his face, "Guess I should experiment..."

Now that his territory has become vast, he needs the others to be way stronger.

Obviously—Rex wouldn't be able to handle everything alone especially when he intends to cultivate, and participate in this race of power, so making the others stronger is one of the top priorities right now.

His highest priority, however, is to be as strong as a tenth-rank realm.

"I need to focus, the time limit is more or less four months..." Rex's expression turned stern.

Navigating through the System, he opened a panel that he was talking about.

...

<Race Evolution Quest — 1 of 3>

The Royal Black Prince bloodline of the Werewolves is one of the strongest bloodlines a sole Werewolf could be born with—capable of harnessing, all the full moon's powers. But it is not the strongest. To achieve invincibility, the user must acquire the highest-ranking bloodline in history, evolving the user's bloodline into the pinnacle and becoming the Werewolf Origin.

All of the user's traits—and ounces of determination will be tested in this quest. Only the strong could survive.

Complete the following to embark on the first step in becoming an Origin:

• Achieve a tenth-rank realm equivalent power

• Harvest and devour Werewolf blood older than 3,000 years old: 0%/100%

• Reach the third ascension in any of the Full Moon

Time limit: All conditions must be achieved before the Blood Moon arrives.

Failure to complete the quest will result in an appropriate penalty.

...

Not too long ago, Rex inspected the Race Evolution Quest and was greeted by this.

Rex was excited to know that he could evolve his bloodline by finishing this quest—but the requirements to complete the quest were completely hazardous. Not only must he achieve tenth-rank realm equivalent power, but there were two more requirements.

Both requirements are as hard as the first one.

For his second requirement, he was forced to harvest and devour blood.

It was not any blood, but only the blood of Werewolves that are older than 3,000 years old.

One thing that Rex found worrying was the fact that the calculation in completing the second requirement was using percentages. He didn't know how many Werewolves, he needed to kill to complete this requirement. If it is numeric-based—he could prepare whether he would raid a Werewolf territory or outright wage war against them.

But now, using percentage-based, he couldn't determine which one he must do.

Rex tried asking the System, but the System gave no further explanation. Read the latest tale on M-VL-em|p,yr

As for the third requirement, Rex needs to achieve, the third ascension—which should be the easiest amongst the three requirements since he has the Countess in full support behind him—but then again, he couldn't take light of this one either.

He hasn't talked with the Countess about this, so it's still not in the clear.

Due to the fight with the Fifthborn, the Countess was still recovering her divine energy.

Manifesting her power in the mortal realm is an exhausting process.

Even with the King Mark, that made it easier for her to give her power to Rex—it was still too much as she had only recently broken free—from the Lunirich Edict. "Maybe I should also try to find a way to help her recover faster—but I'm quite sure asking the System would be futile as the cost of knowing a way to help a Goddess would be ridiculous" He muttered inwardly.

Out of the three requirements, Rex reckoned that the second is the hardest.

Since the rest of the remaining Elders from the ancient past were now awakened—from their slumber, he expected that killing—and devouring the blood of old Werewolves would be hard with them around, especially with the encounter with Kassandra.

If she's merely an Omega, then the Alphas would be way stronger than her.

A concern that he shared with Kyran back during their encounter with Kassandra.

"Does that mean she has an Alpha?" Rex pondered.

He wanted Kassandra to be his eighth pack member earlier, and he still is right now.

Feeling that it must've been the case as Kassandra was extremely strong, at least for a mere Omega—Rex believed that she must've been a part of a pack. But that did not dissuade him, from chasing her though.

In fact, that made him even more excited.

"If I overwrite her and make her mine, I wonder how her Alpha would react?" He mused evilly.

However, despite the difficulty of those three requirements, there was also a time limit.

All of the three requirements must be completed before the Blood Moon arrives.

From this moment, the Blood Moon should be about four to five months away.

Rex needs to complete all of the requirements, before the Blood Moon arrives—or he will be given a penalty. Despite the situation calming down, he still doesn't want to face the penalty—he was expecting the penalty to be some form of weakening effect or a permanent one.

Either way, it would be bad if that happened.

Now, even he was waiting for the moment when a mutated animal tide came to hit the city.

However, in case the penalty is open, Rex decided to ask the System.

"System, the penalty... can you tell me what it is?" He asked, expecting no answer in return.

Knowing the System, he bears no hope of having the penalty disclosed.

For once, however, Rex was wrong as several notifications appeared in front of him, and the words, were written in deep crimson. Reading the notifications, Rex's mind went blank as he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

At the sight of these notifications, his vision became blurry.

On top of that, even the notifications themselves became glitchy in his eyes.

Rex couldn't discern if it was really glitchy or it was his imagination.

"A- Are you serious...?" He uttered raspingly, shock could be heard clearly in his voice.

<Determining the appropriate penalty, please wait...>

<Penalty has been decided!>

<Failure in completing the first quest of the Race Evolution Quest would exact a sacrifice>

<One of the user's inner pack members will be sacrificed for Kaiser of the Scarlet Garland>

Gulping harshly, Rex's eyebrows dipped further, "System, you can't be serious..."
