Liam thought with confusion that when he awakened in this body, messages were showing up before him. He delved back in his memory and found out that there was something which called him his system. '
He exhaled and said, "System? "
Then, before his eyes, a translucent screen showed up.

Liam's eyes widened as he gazed at the translucent screen floating before him. The screen's surface was like a sheet of glass, smooth and unblemished, yet it seemed to glow with an ethereal light from within. The text and images displayed on it were crisp and clear, as if etched into the very fabric of the screen itself.
His fingers twitched, hesitantly reaching out to touch the screen's surface. It felt cool to the touch, like polished glass, and it seemed to ripple slightly under his fingertips, as if the screen was alive.
He murmurs to himself, " What is this? Is this real? "
Liam's eyes scanned the information displayed on the translucent screen, his mind racing as he processed the details about his bloodline. According to the system, his bloodline was classified as "Ancient," with a long history of powerful ancestors who had shaped the course of history.
Now he has been given the chance to alter his fate, he doesn't know who gave him the system, but he is going to become stronger to protect his family.

He clicked is tounge and said with bitterness," These attributes are better for a weak body like this."
His body was covered in dry blood, and his attire was torn, covered with dust and mud. He exhaled, He dusted his clothes and sat against the cold wall of the cave. He closed his eyes, and silence stretched in the air. He began to decide on his next step.
He thought,' If I have to get out of this wretched place. I have to get this weak body trained. I have seen the creatures that are outside the cave, in my memories. He doesn't have to worry about food because he has it in his storage ring for 6 months' worth. He decided to train first.'
For some reason, this cave was not visible to those creatures. He has seen everything in those memories.
First of all, he decided to clean the stench off his body, making him disgusted.
He made his way to a small, secluded pool of water deep within the cave. He knelt down, dipping his hands into the cool water, and splashed it onto his face, feeling the dirt and grime wash away.
As he cleaned himself, he noticed the water's clarity and the way it seemed to glow in the dim light of the cave. He cupped his hands and took a refreshing drink, feeling the coolness spread through his parched throat.
With a sense of renewal, he splashed more water onto his body, scrubbing away the sweat and blood that had accumulated during the trail. The water's soothing touch was a welcome respite from the physical demands of his exile.
As he finished cleaning himself, he felt a sense of rejuvenation wash over him. The water had not only cleansed his body but also seemed to calm his mind.

Liam said to himself, " First thing is, this shadow element is the same as darkness. I am going to experiment on this. "
He stood in the darkness of the cave, focusing his mind and reaching out with his senses. He could feel the shadow element within him, a mysterious and elusive force that seemed to respond to his will.
To train his shadow element, he began to manipulate the darkness around him, creating tendrils of shadow that snaked across the cave floor. He practised controlling the shadows, making them dance and twist in response to his commands.
As he trained, he felt his mana accumulating within him, a warm and tingling sensation that grew stronger with each passing moment. He focused on channelling the mana into his shadow element, feeling it grow more potent and responsive.
His breathing slowed, and his heart rate decreased as he entered a meditative state. He visualised the shadow element flowing through him, merging with his mana to create a powerful and harmonious force.
With each successful manipulation of the shadows, he felt his connection to the shadow element growing stronger. He began to sense the presence of shadows everywhere, even in the brightest of lights, and knew that he could tap into them at will.
He rejoiced in his success like a child and said, " I did it! Now this body is not weak as before. " he began to accumulate mana in his body.

Liam's days blurred together as he trained relentlessly in the cave. Sweat dripped from his brow as he pushed himself to his limits, determined to escape the monster's domain. The air was thick with the smell of damp earth and mould, and the sound of dripping water echoed through the cavern.
He practised techniques, his blade slicing through the darkness, and ran through the winding tunnels, building his endurance. His muscles ached, but he refused to give up. With each passing day, he felt himself growing stronger, more agile, and more focused.
The cave's darkness seemed to press in around him, but he found solace in the silence. It was a chance to clear his mind, to focus on his training, and to prepare himself for the challenges ahead.
As he trained, he thought about the monster that lurked outside the cave. He knew he couldn't stay hidden forever. He needed to be ready to face it, to escape the domain and return home.
