Protagonist Overview

Name: Kaisel Surname:Locked(To be revealed upon Bloodline Awakening)

Current Identity: A low-profile academy student of the Aurelion Academy, previously regarded as talentless and insignificant.

True Nature: Cold-minded, observant, and patient. Kaisel does not act on impulse. He prefers control over chaos, accumulation over exposure, and preparation over reaction.

He does not seek humiliation, nor does he chase attention—but he is not afraid of recognition when it serves his growth.

The Emotion Devouring System (EDS)

System Type: Growth-type, Emotion-based Ascension System

Core Function: The system devours emotional energy generated by intelligent beings within the host's influence or vicinity.

Emotional Energy Categories

Negative Emotions: Rage, hatred, envy, fear, humiliation→ Fast acquisition, unstable amplification

Neutral / Pressure Emotions: Shock, awe, tension, suspicion→ Balanced acquisition, authority-based growth

Positive Emotions: Respect, admiration, pride, trust→ Stable, refined growth with long-term benefits

Rare Emotions: Love, devotion, faith→ Permanent buffs, high backlash risk

Initial synchronization restricts the system to negative emotions only. Full emotional spectrum unlocks as host compatibility increases.
