I was expecting the village to be actually ruined and full of ghosts waiting to pass on after MC finished his training, not "the entire village was descended from the royal family of an ancient, long gone empire with the power to control beasts". Actually interesting and not something I could've predicted.
I wonder how that connects to his own death from being eaten by a dragon. I guess this "special blood" kinda explains his remarkable evolution so far despite ostensibly being some ordinary perma bronze rank adventurer at the start.
