My Vampire System - MVS The Vampire
Transcript
00:00Who said you could ask me out?
00:09Do you even have an ability?
00:11What?
00:12My last boyfriend was a level 3.
00:14You think I'd slum it with a level 1 loser like you?
00:17I only asked you for your number because we're lab partners.
00:19Unbelievable.
00:21Someday, I'll be strong enough to stand up to my bullies.
00:33Hopefully this can change my fate.
00:36A tenuous peace treaty with the Daleki race is set to expire at the end of the month.
00:43I'd say I stink of blood if I could smell anything.
00:50This is my place.
00:53It's not much, but it's home.
00:57My whole life fits inside this suitcase.
01:00I lost everything in the war.
01:07Quintellan, I have some bad news.
01:09It's about your parents.
01:10Where are they?
01:11What happened?
01:13They saved a lot of lives, but they wanted you to have this.
01:18Aliens burned the world, killed my family, and all I got was this stupid book.
01:23A book that's impossible to open.
01:25Still, my parents must have left it to me for a reason.
01:29It's my one shot at answers.
01:33Okay, so far no reaction.
01:39I don't know why I keep trying.
01:44Damn it.
01:46It's like my parents wanted to taunt me with an ability book from beyond the grave.
01:50They could have at least left instructions.
01:54What the hell is happening?
01:56Congratulations.
01:57You have been granted the vampire system.
02:09Hello?
02:17Upload complete.
02:23What happened last night?
02:30Wait.
02:31No way.
02:33I can see the whole room?
02:35How?
02:36Was it the book?
02:38It's gone.
02:39Think, Quinn.
02:40Try to remember what happened.
02:41Menu, menu, menu.
02:43Main menu.
02:45Who said that?
02:47What is all this?
02:50This thing.
02:51It's controlled by my thoughts?
02:55A skills tab?
02:56It's like one of those old gaming systems.
02:59Did this come from the book?
03:00Ability books can be absorbed for additional XP.
03:04So my parents did leave me an ability book.
03:10Yeah!
03:14But I don't feel any different.
03:16It just seems like an old gaming interface.
03:19Okay, if you're a computer, do you have any information about my parents?
03:24Systems are often disregarded as simple computers.
03:27But with the right user, they can become quite powerful once leveled up.
03:32Okay, cool.
03:34I'll play your game.
03:36So how do I level up?
03:37Drink two liters of water.
03:41Two liters for five XP.
03:44That's it?
03:45I can definitely do that.
03:51My stomach feels like it's gonna burst.
03:54Challenge complete.
03:56Five experience points awarded.
03:58At least I know this system works now.
04:00Hopefully if I keep doing quests, I'll level up and get stronger.
04:05Quintalan?
04:07Hello.
04:08We've been waiting outside five minutes already.
04:10What?
04:11Don't play dumb with me.
04:13It's draft day, boy.
04:15Time for you to head to military school.
04:17That's right.
04:18How could I forget?
04:19The war with the Dahlke wiped out most of the population.
04:23Now, like every student age 16, I'm required to attend military school for two years.
04:29No one expects the peace deal with the Dahlke to last.
04:32Neither do I.
04:34It's so bright.
04:37What's happening to me?
04:39You okay, son?
04:41You're not gonna try to run, are you?
04:43Your stats are being reduced to 50% during exposure.
04:46Please seek immediate shelter from direct sunlight.
04:49I'm weaker in sunlight now?
04:51What kind of drawback is this?
04:57Keep it moving, recruit.
04:59Sorry. Sorry.
05:01You are no longer in direct sunlight.
05:04Stats have returned to normal.
05:07What a relief.
05:09That was torture.
05:11When is the shuttle arriving?
05:13ETA, 11 minutes.
05:15Keep it quiet.
05:17Keyword, direct sunlight.
05:21Another quest.
05:23At least this one's easy.
05:24I wonder what the military academy's gonna be like.
05:26Yeah, me too.
05:27Quiet!
05:28Whatever it's like, it's probably better than school.
05:32Warning, a foreign substance has been detected.
05:36Activating oxygen reserves.
05:38What?
05:39Your resistance to the substance has increased.
05:42Approximately 30 seconds of consciousness remaining.
05:44What's going on?
05:46Go private, son.
05:51What the hell?
05:53Rise and shine, maggots!
05:55You spend the next two years of your miserable lives here, so you better get used to it.
06:11Place on your wrist.
06:12I knew the military was sitting on some experimental tech, but I had no idea it was anything like this.
06:18Daily rations and other privileges.
06:20Once you've been tested, it will show a number representing your corresponding power level.
06:24Power levels range from 1 to 8.
06:29Hey, I wouldn't do that if I were you.
06:32Huh?
06:33The harder you tug, the tighter it gets.
06:35You ever see someone on the street without a hand?
06:38That's the price for running.
06:40Thanks.
06:42Once you've been tested, it will be displayed as a number representing your corresponding power level.
06:46Power levels range from 1 to 8.
06:50I think I could get at least a 5.
06:52What?
06:53I heard no one's ever gotten higher than a 5 on the first test.
06:57Well, except originals.
06:59You know, people who don't need ability books for their powers, they're just born that way.
07:02Yeah, I know what originals are.
07:04Okay, hotshot.
07:06I was just making conversation.
07:08I know. Sorry.
07:10So, name, ability, favorite color.
07:13Next group, quintality.
07:15Hey.
07:17Peter Chuck.
07:20Hide me.
07:21Hey, knock it off.
07:22Vorden Blade.
07:24Rough hands, bro.
07:26Ever try lotion?
07:27Layla Monroe.
07:32And Aaron Healy.
07:36Finally.
07:37You five will be today's final group.
07:39Good luck.
07:41So, Quinn, right?
07:44Name's Vorden.
07:46What's his angle?
07:47Why is someone that looks like him being so nice to me?
07:49Use of foreign ability detected.
07:51What did you say your ability was?
07:53Ability attempt blocked.
07:54Ability blocked?
07:59Warning.
08:00You are being hit by direct sunlight.
08:03All stats will be reduced by 50%.
08:06First time teleporting?
08:07Second ability attempt blocked.
08:11Don't touch me.
08:12Don't touch me.
08:13Look, I'm pretty strong, so if anybody messes with you,
08:15I just put them in their place, you know?
08:18Vorden.
08:19What's up?
08:20Vorden.
08:21Nice to meet you.
08:22Vorden.
08:23Pleasure.
08:24Vorden, very nice to meet you.
08:26Hi, Vorden.
08:27Nice to meet you, too.
08:28Maybe he's just friendly with everyone.
08:30I hope I don't look as nervous as him.
08:32I definitely look more nervous than her.
08:34Cool box.
08:35What's inside it?
08:36Ow, ow, ow.
08:37Oh, what gives?
08:39Line up.
08:40Side by side.
08:41My name is Jane,
08:42and I will be in charge of testing today.
08:44Once you have finished your trials,
08:46I will be adjusting your wrist devices
08:48to match your decided ability levels.
08:51But before we get started,
08:53we have a couple things to take care of.
08:56Peter Chuck, step forward.
09:02I bet he's in trouble.
09:03Why?
09:04For not having an ability.
09:05Now I understand why you were so nervous.
09:09Hey, get your Earth ability book.
09:11They're pretty common, but really help.
09:13You want it?
09:14Knock yourself out.
09:18Unable to learn ability.
09:20Would you like to convert the ability book
09:22into ten experience points?
09:24Wait.
09:25This system prevents me from studying ability books?
09:30It's yours.
09:31I can't accept it.
09:32They just give these to us
09:33to keep us indebted to them anyway.
09:35Quinn Talon?
09:36Their records show I don't have an ability.
09:39But do I have an ability?
09:45Whatever this system is,
09:49my parents kept it secret for a reason.
09:54Standard issue Earth abilities.
09:56I can't.
09:58Pardon?
09:59I don't want it.
10:02Would you excuse me for one moment?
10:07Talon Quinn won't take the book.
10:10How do you wish to proceed?
10:13No abilities, no parents,
10:15no connection to Pure either.
10:17Let's see how he does
10:18without the help of military assistance, shall we?
10:20Understood, sir.
10:23My apologies.
10:25Please, await further instruction.
10:29Phew.
10:30That was a close one.
10:32All right.
10:33Testing will begin.
10:34In groups of two.
10:35First up,
10:36Erin Healy
10:38and Layla Monroe.
10:41Good luck, babe.
10:42Send that pretty little face my regards.
10:49She has ice abilities.
10:51She could freeze me anytime.
10:52What the hell's the matter with you?
10:53Stop touching people without their permission.
10:55Stop touching people without permission.
10:56Hey, that's what you sound like.
10:58If you are not Erin or Layla,
11:00please move away from the immediate area.
11:05I'll try to get easy on you.
11:06It won't be a competition.
11:09We do this in twos to save time,
11:10but literally,
11:11it's not a competition.
11:13Please, stand back to back.
11:22It's a beast weapon.
11:24Not for me.
11:26You know,
11:27I kind of had her pegged as a terrorist
11:29outside the military.
11:31The only other people who use them
11:33is a terrorist group called Pure.
11:35They want to rid the world of ability users.
11:37Beast weapons are made from crystal hearts
11:39of powerful alien beasts.
11:41Even if she's not a member of Pure,
11:43it's hard to imagine someone so young
11:45might have been to other planets.
11:49This test will measure your combat prowess.
11:52Use whatever tools you have available
11:54to decimate the targets.
11:57Three,
11:58two,
11:59one,
12:00start.
12:03What's she doing?
12:05She's telekinetic.
12:06Telekinesis is normally considered weak,
12:08but maybe when paired with a beast weapon,
12:10any power can be strong.
12:34Woo!
12:42She's a beast weapon, too.
12:44Damn.
12:47This next test will gauge endurance.
12:50We call it the blade test.
12:52Try to avoid getting struck.
12:58Brilliant.
13:00Are you scared?
13:01No.
13:02Don't worry, they're just...
13:04simple holograms.
13:06Three,
13:07two,
13:08one.
13:26They're moving so fast.
13:28Is it possible to dodge them?
13:33I guess they weren't holograms after all.
13:35Time.
13:36I have made my decision.
13:38Leila Munro,
13:39you have been awarded the rank
13:41of a level two ability user.
13:43A respectable score for a first try.
13:45Level two?
13:47Congrats on your win, princess.
13:49Again,
13:50not a contest.
13:52Erin Healy,
13:54you've been awarded the rank
13:55of a level five ability user.
13:58Only the third person in history
13:59to do so on their first test.
14:01Congratulations.
14:02Five.
14:03That's it.
14:04Oh.
14:05I guess neither of them are happy
14:07with their scores.
14:09Next two up,
14:10Vorden Blade.
14:12Get ready to watch them
14:13blow these dames out of the water.
14:14There's no way he's that strong.
14:16Quin Talon.
14:18What?
14:19No, you can't test me.
14:20I don't have an ability.
14:21And yet you refuse the ability book.
14:24My commander has instructed me
14:25to test your mettle regardless.
14:27They're making an example out of me.
14:28If you aren't Vorden or Quin,
14:30please step aside.
14:31You two,
14:32get in position.
14:33Don't worry, Talon.
14:35I'll make sure to go easy on you.
14:36It's not a contest.
14:38With you it isn't.
14:39What?
14:40Boys.
14:43How am I supposed to hit those targets?
14:46All stats are reduced
14:48to 50% in the sunlight.
14:51This idiot couldn't really be strong.
14:54Could he?
15:01Ah!
15:03I thought it might be different here.
15:05But it's more of the same.
15:07I'm still a loser.
15:13If only there was a little shade.
15:18It can't be.
15:23Ice abilities?
15:24He also has ice abilities?
15:27What are the chances two people
15:28in the same class
15:29could share your gifts?
15:31That's why he kept touching people.
15:32Very nice to meet you.
15:33Hi, I'm Vorden.
15:34Nice to meet you.
15:35He was sampling abilities.
15:43Please, thank you, thank you.
15:45Make me blush.
15:47I really couldn't have done it
15:48without you in particular.
15:52Enough.
15:53Get ready for the blade test.
15:55Three,
15:56two,
15:57one.
15:58I'm sure we would have made
15:59great friends.
16:02Come on, system.
16:03I know you can do more than this.
16:05Help me out here.
16:07All stats are reduced
16:08to 50% in the sunlight.
16:09My parents wouldn't leave me
16:10this book if it was useless.
16:12Come on.
16:15Fine.
16:19Time.
16:26That's enough.
16:28Vorden blade level five.
16:30Quintallen level one.
16:34Oof.
16:35Sorry about the frost, bro.
16:38It's okay.
16:40Thanks.
16:41Told you I'd protect you.
16:42Maybe he's not so bad after all.
16:45You didn't try to take
16:46my ability that time.
16:47Respect.
16:49You know, no one's ever figured
16:50out my trick so fast.
16:52So is that your ability?
16:53No.
16:54But you were pretty surprised
16:55when it didn't work.
16:56Well, credit where credit's due.
16:58Right?
16:59Yeah.
17:00You know,
17:02there's no ability book
17:03that teaches copyability.
17:05You're an original, aren't you?
17:12This building was constructed
17:14to honor the lives lost
17:16in the great Delqui war.
17:18This is where the tour ends.
17:20Great time to get to know
17:21each other a little better.
17:22Better use of your time.
17:24After all, you are
17:25classmates now.
17:28We'll break a bit here.
17:30All stocks are being reduced
17:31by 50% during exposure
17:33to sunlight.
17:34I should have figured
17:35we weren't going to be friends.
17:37The rules here are the same
17:38as back home.
17:43Level threes vie for the
17:44attention of the fours and fives,
17:46and twos pick up the scraps.
17:49Everyone wants to move up
17:50and I'm at the bottom again.
17:52Alone.
17:54Or maybe not.
17:58It's just a level, right man?
18:00Can't let it get to us, you know?
18:02Right.
18:03Thanks.
18:05You were great back there,
18:06by the way.
18:08Training on the test
18:09with no abilities?
18:10There you are!
18:12Hey.
18:13Dude.
18:14All of a sudden,
18:15all these students
18:16wanted a piece of me?
18:17Totally lost sight of you.
18:18Oh. Oh.
18:19Uh.
18:20I've been here the whole time, man.
18:21Yeah.
18:22Well,
18:23let's, uh,
18:24let's be here together.
18:26Yeah.
18:27You too, sad boy.
18:29You can hang with us.
18:30Me?
18:31Really?
18:32Yeah.
18:33Unless you're too cool
18:34to hang with us.
18:35A level five befriending
18:36two level ones?
18:37He's like no one
18:38I've ever met.
18:40Alright.
18:41Let's see what room number
18:42I get.
18:45Twenty-three.
18:46I got fourteen.
18:47Yeah.
18:49Yo, Quinn!
18:50Dude.
18:51What room number
18:52did you get?
18:53Twenty-three.
18:54Okay, cool.
18:55Oh.
18:56Fingers crossed
18:57we get the same one.
18:58Right?
18:59Yeah.
19:00Alright.
19:01See ya.
19:04Ah, no way.
19:05I'm in room twenty-three.
19:06We're neighbors.
19:21Hey.
19:23What room number
19:24did you get?
19:25Twenty-three.
19:26You're gonna trade with me.
19:29What?
19:30Why would I do that?
19:31Hey!
19:35Got any other
19:36stupid questions?
19:37Please, please.
19:38Just...
19:40Just take it.
19:45Tell anyone
19:46about this
19:47and I will rip out
19:48your throat.
19:50Got it?
19:54Perfect.
19:58Don't forget
19:59to wash your hands.
20:04Do you really think
20:05it's gonna be different
20:06from the crapples
20:07we came from?
20:09One can only hope, right?
20:11Yeah.
20:13Yo!
20:15Guess who got room twenty-three?
20:16Same as Quinn.
20:18Wow.
20:19What are the chances?
20:20Yeah.
20:21It's like...
20:22like fate
20:23wanted us to be best friends.
20:24Right, buddy?
20:25Yeah.
20:26Fate.
20:30We should throw a party in here.
20:32Tonight.
20:35Yeah.
20:43Do you know who this is?
20:48There he goes again.
20:49Mr. Popular.
20:54Poor guy.
20:59Hey.
21:02I, uh,
21:03just wanted to say
21:04I thought you
21:05did really good in the field today.
21:07You know, a lot of people say
21:08that telepaths are actually
21:09like really weak.
21:10But I thought
21:11I thought you did really good.
21:12I thought you were really fast.
21:16Telepaths are weak?
21:18God, I'm an idiot.
21:23I should see what Peter's up to.
21:27First year.
21:28Nothing out of the ordinary.
21:30Orphan boy.
21:32No abilities.
21:33And yet you'll notice
21:34he refused to take
21:35the standard ability book
21:36when offered.
21:37You can bump into me like that
21:38without saying sorry?
21:39I'm sorry.
21:40I can't hear you.
21:41I'm sorry.
21:42Peter?
21:43Hey!
21:44What's going on?
21:45There's much you don't know.
21:48We originals have a heavy burden
21:49that even you
21:50and your military might
21:51could never comprehend.
21:54Hey!
21:58There are abilities
21:59that are far darker
22:00and more dangerous
22:01than have been made public.
22:03Abilities that we're
22:04still discovering
22:05from books that have been lost
22:06to the annals of time.
22:07What is this?
