00:00:00Just a second ago, Peter was there, right in front of Logan.
00:00:03Seeing something so dangerous as to potentially be anywhere in the room with him
00:00:07was starting to make even Logan nervous.
00:00:09He no longer had any sticky light balls to shoot out,
00:00:12and his suit only produced enough light for him to be able to see a few meters in front of him.
00:00:17Peter could see as clear as day down here.
00:00:19They were unfavorable odds, and Logan started to curse himself,
00:00:22thinking about how he ever got himself into this type of situation.
00:00:26A sharp, sudden sound was heard to his right,
00:00:29and a blast was shot from his blaster in an instant.
00:00:31I don't want to hurt you, Peter.
00:00:33Suppose I hit you now before you've eaten anything.
00:00:35There's a good chance you can't heal," Logan said calmly.
00:00:39His voice was full of confidence, but inside his mind he was panicking a little.
00:00:43As he said those words, groans could be heard once again in a specific direction.
00:00:48When Logan looked at where they were coming from,
00:00:50he could see Peter knelt on the floor, holding his stomach.
00:00:54Logan, just leave me. I don't think it's safe. Go now," Peter shouted.
00:00:58The others thought the old Peter was completely gone, lost, but that wasn't true at all.
00:01:03Peter still had feelings, he still had worries, and inside he was still scared as always.
00:01:08Then the sound of footsteps was heard.
00:01:11Out of the tunnel, Logan appeared with a student on his back.
00:01:14He placed it on the floor and took a few steps back.
00:01:17I know this might be disrespectful, but you are already dead.
00:01:20I promise I will find out who your family is and treat them well.
00:01:23They will live a life of happiness due to your help for as long as I am alive.
00:01:28The two boys continued to run through the town at breaking speed.
00:01:31On the way to the tower, they hadn't seen any high-level beasts.
00:01:35Quinn was now sure of it.
00:01:36With this thought in his head, he was able to freely run as fast as he could toward Peter.
00:01:41He was worried about what could happen, mostly since he was with the others,
00:01:45and worried about what would happen if the travelers were to find out and get involved.
00:01:49Following closely behind, Vex was struggling to keep up.
00:01:53Suddenly, Quinn stopped in his tracks.
00:01:55What's wrong? Vex asked.
00:01:57There were two reasons why Quinn had stopped.
00:01:59The first was that Quinn felt that Peter was no longer hungry.
00:02:03Thank you, Logan, Quinn said under his breath.
00:02:05He didn't know why, but he had a hunch that if anyone could solve the problem,
00:02:09it would have been him.
00:02:10The second reason for stopping was that Quinn could sense and smell a familiar presence.
00:02:15Ah, it's the teacher, Vex said and pointed.
00:02:18Leo said.
00:02:19I'm here to search for the remaining students.
00:02:21Your friends who were with you have already been escorted outside to the surface.
00:02:25Quickly, Leo shouted.
00:02:26We must get out of here and run.
00:02:28There is something down here.
00:02:29Something incredibly powerful.
00:02:31I can sense its aura.
00:02:32We have to leave now.
00:02:33They both quickly followed Leo closely behind as the three of them ran out of the town and
00:02:37into the tunnel, not once looking back.
00:02:40But his strange actions made Quinn wonder.
00:02:42It was the first time that he saw his teacher running away from a confrontation.
00:02:46The tower they had just left was known as a vampire's tomb,
00:02:50and judging by the site of the building and what was left behind, it was a powerful one.
00:02:54Didn't you say a vampire would need the blood of one of its family members?
00:02:58It can't wake up, right?
00:02:59Quinn asked the system, but it had chosen to remain silent.
00:03:03Answer me, Quinn snapped in his mind.
00:03:05This time, he was insistent and wanted an answer.
00:03:08Sorry, the system replied.
00:03:10I was just thinking about the possibilities, but perhaps there was a chance we did wake it up.
00:03:14But how?
00:03:15Quinn replied.
00:03:16The only thing I can think of is the blood crystal.
00:03:19Remember how I said a blood crystal was quite rare?
00:03:21Well, that's because a blood crystal is harvested from a vampire's body itself.
00:03:26Just like how the beasts chain a crystal inside their bodies, vampires do too.
00:03:30Why didn't you say something earlier then?
00:03:32Quinn complained.
00:03:33I thought the same as you at the time, that the crystal would help you get the weapon.
00:03:38The three of them had finally left the town.
00:03:40They had gone through one of the tunnels into an open area with several different pathways.
00:03:44It was easy for Leo to select the path back, as he remembered which direction he had entered from,
00:03:49and he led the two students out.
00:03:51Finally, they were about to leave the strange city and everything that had been found behind.
00:03:55While traveling through the tunnel, it started to slightly tilt upward with no end in sight,
00:04:00and they were unsure how long it would take them to get out.
00:04:03Finally, the end of the tunnel could be seen, and daylight was shining through.
00:04:07Both Quinn and Fex never thought they would be happy to see the sun, but they truly were.
00:04:12The two boys continued to follow Leo back through the forest.
00:04:15There were still many beasts in the forest, but thanks to Leo's ability,
00:04:19they were able to avoid all of them and select the safest path heading back to the shelter.
00:04:24Eventually, they arrived where all the remaining students were.
00:04:28They were staying in the shelter, in the large open space on the ground.
00:04:31The other military staff were taking care of them.
00:04:34All right, everyone, a soldier shouted.
00:04:36It's time to gather up.
00:04:37Your Sergeant Leo has an important announcement to make.
00:04:40Faye and him stood in front of them.
00:04:42After Leo had gone after Del's class and it took longer than usual to return,
00:04:46Faye had decided to make the executive decision to call back all of the students to the shelter.
00:04:51Instead, to minimize the risk, the plan was to go as one large group
00:04:55while both Faye and Leo would guide them, rather than split them up via their homeroom classes.
00:05:01They would cover less ground this way, and the expedition would be a lot slower,
00:05:04but it would also be safer this way.
00:05:07The first person to arrive was Leo, and behind him, all of the students started to follow.
00:05:12As the other group saw Del's group, sounds of gasps and words of concern were heard.
00:05:18What happened to them? Faye asked.
00:05:20It looks like they went off trail due to an advanced tier beast, Leo explained.
00:05:24A look of horror appeared on Faye's face as their fears were confirmed.
00:05:28Don't worry, I already dealt with it before even meeting up with the class.
00:05:32As for the remaining students, according to the teacher, Del, they were all eaten.
00:05:37There was no chance the students survived.
00:05:39The two of them looked over at where Del was.
00:05:42He was currently barging his way through the injured students and going to the front of the queue.
00:05:46As Leo took another step forward, he suddenly stopped.
00:05:49Before anyone else, he could hear the sound of the leaves ruffling from behind.
00:05:54Looks like we finally made it, Andy said as he appeared out of the forest.
00:05:58The group of travelers had arrived, but they weren't alone.
00:06:01They also brought back Vorden, Sia, Layla, Peter, and Logan.
00:06:06Inside the tunnels, Logan had managed to regroup quickly with the travelers
00:06:09once his scanner was working.
00:06:11After the travelers and students had walked out of the trees and vines,
00:06:15what followed next started to cause alarm in the camp.
00:06:18The large, lion-like beast came out as well.
00:06:21Beast! Beast! students shouted as they recognized the beast as a powerful-looking one,
00:06:26perhaps at the advanced level.
00:06:28Calm down, one of the commanders who was looking after the students shouted.
00:06:31That beast will do us no harm. It belongs to the Brie family.
00:06:35After hearing that name, the students quickly began to calm down.
00:06:38Seeing the stripes on both Faye and Leo's sides,
00:06:41Andre knew straight away that they were the highest commanding officers in this shelter.
00:06:45He approached the two of them and saluted at them out of respect.
00:06:48Faye did the same back, but Leo had chosen not to do anything.
00:06:52Leo, I know you can't see, but this is someone from the Brie family,
00:06:55and they just saluted you, Faye whispered.
00:06:58Anyway, I believe these students are yours, Andre said as he opened up his palm,
00:07:02telling the students to go over to the other side.
00:07:05Sia had the biggest smile on her face as she ran forward toward the shelter and the other students,
00:07:10while the others decided to remain, hoping to hear the conversation between these two powerhouses.
00:07:16Thank you, Leo replied. Would you mind telling me where you found them?
00:07:19Perhaps I will be able to search for others in the same area.
00:07:22You have done enough, so there is no need for you to go out of your way, Leo said.
00:07:27There is something we must inform you about,
00:07:29Andy said as he stepped forward and handed over a scanner to Faye.
00:07:33They revealed information that they had kept secret from the military,
00:07:36the fact that they had discovered an underground town.
00:07:39Not only that, but it seemed like it was made from a Dalkey structure.
00:07:42Leo, both Quinn and Fex, they're still down there, Forden said.
00:07:46Logan then handed over the altered scanner he had created to Faye as well.
00:07:50It displayed the information he had found.
00:07:53You, you, I can't believe you were hiding this from us.
00:07:56Do you know that if you had given this information to us beforehand,
00:07:59the students would never have been sent to a planet like this in the first place?
00:08:03Before she even knew it, her fist was already flying toward Andy's face.
00:08:07At the same time, she felt a slash going towards her arm.
00:08:11Images of her arm being sliced off were seen.
00:08:14Quickly pulling it back, she looked at her hand and could see it was still intact.
00:08:19Forden and the others were prepared for a clash between the travelers and the sergeants.
00:08:23They were ready to help Leo wherever they could.
00:08:26Other than helping them find an exit, the travelers hadn't helped them much.
00:08:30In the end, Quinn was the one who killed the beast.
00:08:33Also, they still remembered how much in debt they were to Leo for saving them from the Dalkey.
00:08:38Every one of the students, including the other soldiers, silently watched from the sideline.
00:08:43They were too afraid to get involved.
00:08:45If they did, it could cause trouble.
00:08:47Due to the relations one of the Big Four had with the military.
00:08:54Hi, Quinn here.
00:08:55Wondering what happens next?
00:08:56If you want to jump the queue and unleash all episodes,
00:09:00click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:09:07The pressure emitting from the two groups was immense.
00:09:10One wrong word or action might make the already fearsome looming presence
00:09:14break out and swallow them whole.
00:09:16However, they were unaware of what Leo thought.
00:09:19Right now, the people in front of him had put the students he was responsible for in danger.
00:09:24Leo, when we were down there, there was an incredibly strong beast.
00:09:27For now, I think Quinn and Fex are safe, but I don't know how long they will survive.
00:09:31They need help now, Forden said.
00:09:34After hearing these words, Leo's grip around his hilt weakened.
00:09:37It worked.
00:09:39With that, Leo continued to walk into the forest while also carefully stepping his feet
00:09:44over a large root going across the floor.
00:09:46All they needed to do now was wait, hoping Fex and Quinn could return safely.
00:09:52After waiting for an hour, Leo finally returned, and this time he wasn't alone.
00:09:56By his side were both Fex and Quinn.
00:09:59Layla had run up to greet them, and the others were happy to see them as well.
00:10:03I've made my decision, Leo said.
00:10:05I'm going to cancel the expedition and return to the Academy.
00:10:09Are you sure?
00:10:10Fay replied.
00:10:11Judging from what the travelers told us, the Dalki settlement seems to be abandoned.
00:10:15No, Leo replied immediately.
00:10:17When I went down there, I could sense it.
00:10:19There is still something there, and it's at least the power of a four-spiked Dalki.
00:10:24Only Leo knew the truth, that the energy that was emitting from the being
00:10:27was similar to both Fex and Quinn.
00:10:30The winners are as follows.
00:10:32So will the following students please come to the front.
00:10:34Vorden Blade, Layla Monroe, Sia Green, Pio Blank, Logan Green, Fex Seg, and finally Quinn Talon.
00:10:42How did they get the top marks?
00:10:44Our group managed to scan around 15 different plants and three new beasts.
00:10:48Are they saying they scan more than that?
00:10:50A student complained with a frown.
00:10:52They must have done that.
00:10:53Otherwise, why were they called up?
00:10:55Another replied.
00:10:56The students had been called and arrived at the front,
00:10:59but instead of looks of admiration and jealousy, they were all stared down with looks of hatred.
00:11:04Seeing that the students' anger still hadn't been quelled,
00:11:07Fay herself decided to take some action based on some information she had found out earlier.
00:11:12Listen up, all of you.
00:11:14There's a reason why these students here have been selected as the winners of today's event.
00:11:18She rummaged through the crate for scanners that had accumulated behind them
00:11:22until she found one in particular.
00:11:24This scanner here is from Logan, a student.
00:11:27At the time, each of these students had discovered something worth a lot more points
00:11:31than any beast or plant would ever be.
00:11:33After pressing a button on the scanner, a 3D holographic model appeared from the scanner.
00:11:38It showed a recreation of the town that Logan had managed to get on his scanner,
00:11:42the one he had made before entering the tunnels below.
00:11:46As you can all see, this right here is a Dalki base.
00:11:49It looks like they had arrived on this planet before us.
00:11:52This is the reason why we are leaving,
00:11:54not just because there are some powerful beasts on this planet.
00:11:57Everyone understood that.
00:11:59While looking around, Quinn noticed that the soldiers were busy gathering their things.
00:12:03The same couldn't be said for the civilians who lived in the treetop homes.
00:12:07They stood there with worried looks on their faces, peeking from above.
00:12:12Why aren't they packing their things?
00:12:13Quinn asked.
00:12:14What do you mean?
00:12:15These people have nowhere to go, Layla replied.
00:12:18They probably spent all the money they had to move here.
00:12:21Even if the military did allow them to use the teleporters and head back to Earth,
00:12:25they would only be made homeless with no shelter or way to earn credits.
00:12:30But if the soldiers leave this place,
00:12:32then there will be no one to protect them from beast attacks, Quinn replied.
00:12:36Layla remained silent when Quinn said this
00:12:39and Vorden simply placed his hand on his shoulder.
00:12:42They were both aware of the fate of these people.
00:12:45While Quinn was a little naive,
00:12:47while the students walked through the teleporters,
00:12:49a young girl who looked only around the age of five
00:12:52started to wave her hand goodbye to the students, unaware of what was happening.
00:12:56This world needs to change.
00:12:57The people at the top need to come crumbling down,
00:13:00and when I'm strong enough, I'll come back for you, Quinn said,
00:13:03although he was aware that by that time, it would probably be too late.
00:13:07Haha, didn't I leave some basic treasure of mine behind?
00:13:11I believe it was a set of armor.
00:13:13However, whoever entered the tower might have taken a vital piece.
00:13:17I did leave it there as a reward.
00:13:19Let's just hope they didn't choose the area that covers the crown jewels.
00:13:23As the man walked over to the podium, which wasn't encased in a metallic cylinder,
00:13:28as he looked down, he blinked and raised a brow.
00:13:31Now, out of all the items available for them to get,
00:13:34why on Earth would they choose to take the ring?
00:13:37The man thought to himself, rather confused.
00:13:40He then walked over to the other five podiums that were covered in the strange metal casing.
00:13:45As he placed his fingertips on the cold outside,
00:13:48in an instant, they seemed to react and started to vibrate.
00:13:51Each one of them went back into the ground,
00:13:53revealing the pieces of armor that were once there.
00:13:56The helmet allowed most of his face to be seen.
00:13:59It had two spiraling red horns on top,
00:14:01with a thin piece of metal that went down to the nose.
00:14:04When stepping outside, he had expected one of two things.
00:14:08A parade of people would be there to welcome him back,
00:14:10or a big fight would be taking place.
00:14:13But he saw neither of those things.
00:14:15Instead, all that was left was an abandoned town.
00:14:18Finally, he came across something that looked a little interesting.
00:14:22It was a strange human-sized beast that looked like it had been killed not too long ago.
00:14:27The reason why he found it interesting, though,
00:14:29was that he could sense strange energy from it, similar to his own.
00:14:34Now, why would a blood crystal have been left behind with a beast?
00:14:38Seeing this, he felt the same energy as the beast.
00:14:41He thought that maybe his awakening was an accident.
00:14:44The man continued to walk out of the town into the tunnels.
00:14:48The sword was now wrapped around his back,
00:14:50using the chains to hold it onto his chest piece of armor.
00:14:53A step was taken out of the tunnel and into the sunlight.
00:14:56The man was surrounded by nature,
00:14:58and the rays of sunlight shot through the trees and leaves.
00:15:01They were touching both the skin on his hands and the open area on his face.
00:15:05However, unlike Quinn and Fex, there was no reaction to the man.
00:15:10My skin's a little itchy.
00:15:11It would have been nice to have that ring.
00:15:13Otherwise, I might develop a rash of some sort.
00:15:17He complained as he scratched the front of his hand.
00:15:20Ah!
00:15:21A scream was suddenly heard coming from his right.
00:15:24Immediately, without thinking about it, he started to dash in the direction of the scream.
00:15:28Eventually, he could see a little girl just by a river, but she wasn't alone.
00:15:33A large snake, nearly four times the size of the girl,
00:15:37was on her body with its head held high, looking at her.
00:15:40The snake dashed with its head leading forward.
00:15:43With nothing else to do, the girl closed her eyes and screamed once more
00:15:47as she felt like her life was over.
00:15:49When no pain was felt, she decided to open her eyes again.
00:15:54The snake was no longer there.
00:15:56It had disappeared entirely, and instead, standing in its place was a man in strange red armor.
00:16:02It's okay, the man said.
00:16:04The big snake is gone and won't bother you anymore.
00:16:06Looking at the girl, he noticed that there were a few cuts on her body.
00:16:10The worst wound was the one on her knee.
00:16:12It was severely scraped and blood was being drawn from it.
00:16:15The man grabbed her leg and looked at it carefully.
00:16:18It looks quite bad, but I should be able to help you with that.
00:16:21He then spat on both of his hands and started to rub them together.
00:16:25Trust me, my spit is like magic.
00:16:27He then placed his spit-covered hands on top of the knee, holding it down.
00:16:31When the man let go of her knee, the wound had completely disappeared.
00:16:35Thank you, sir.
00:16:36You must have the ability to heal, she said.
00:16:39Ability?
00:16:40The man replied, confused.
00:16:42What's your name?
00:16:43She asked.
00:16:44You can call me Arthur.
00:16:45Just then, the smile that was on the girl's face only seconds ago dropped.
00:16:50She started pulling on Arthur's arm hard.
00:16:52Arthur, me and you are friends, right?
00:16:54Arthur nodded in response.
00:16:56Then please, you have to help me.
00:16:58My family, everyone here is in trouble.
00:17:00The soldiers, they went away, I don't know why.
00:17:03But they left us all here, and shortly after there was an attack.
00:17:06Arthur could see this was tough for her.
00:17:09She looked extremely young, barely older than five.
00:17:12He then picked her up with one hand and brought her close to his chest.
00:17:15Sniffing his nose into the air, he could smell it.
00:17:18Don't worry, I know where they are.
00:17:20A sweet smell entered his nose, a scent he remembered vividly.
00:17:23The smell of blood.
00:17:53He's sent to the military to prepare for war against the alien Dalki.
00:17:57But everything changes when Quinn discovers the vampire system,
00:18:02a secret ability that strengthens him with each sip of blood.
00:18:07As he navigates the treacherous military life, Quinn finds unexpected camaraderie
00:18:12with his new friends and allies, Vorden, Peter, Layla, and Aaron,
00:18:19who become his support system in the rigorous military school.
00:18:23Together, they must face the challenges of training,
00:18:27the looming threat of the Dalki, and the sinister forces within their own ranks.
00:18:33But when Peter, the quiet and reserved member of their group,
00:18:37is targeted by ruthless bullies, the group's dynamics are shattered.
00:18:43In a shocking turn of events, Vorden is pushed into a deadly portal,
00:18:48leaving Quinn racing against time to save his friend.
00:18:53Can Quinn keep his true nature hidden while rescuing Vorden?
00:18:57Or will his secrets be exposed in the process?
00:19:02The room looked like a prison cell brawl gone bad.
00:19:04Inside was the top half of Ian's body on the floor,
00:19:07blood still oozing from the bottom half, and his guts spilling out.
00:19:11If Vorden had never seen a scene like this before,
00:19:13it would cause a normal person to throw up all over the place.
00:19:17Then, when he looked up, he could see Quinn kneeling on the floor in pain.
00:19:21It was, as he thought, the creature that attacked him before was him.
00:19:25Although he no longer looked like the beast anymore, it was clear,
00:19:28the damaged uniform, the dead body on the floor.
00:19:31"'Hey, Quinn, are you all right? Is something wrong? Do you need anything?' Vorden asked.
00:19:36"'Get away!' Quinn groaned out as the pain continued to shoot through his whole body.
00:19:41"'Maybe I can help.' "'I said get away!'
00:19:45Quinn's voice sounded deep and dark as he lifted his head.
00:19:48Vorden could see his eyes were now glowing red.
00:19:52"'Hey, Vorden, I think you better listen to the kid. He could be turning into that thing again,'
00:19:56Rayton said. But it was too late. Vorden had taken one step too many,
00:20:01and was now within striking distance. Quinn lashed out, flinging his arm at Vorden.
00:20:05However, he was able to lift his metal chair up in time, blocking the attack,
00:20:09but it didn't do too much. The metal chair was immediately ripped by Quinn's hands,
00:20:14and the attack managed to craze Vorden's chest, flinging him backwards.
00:20:19"'Blood!' Quinn screamed. "'Give me blood!' The smell coming off Vorden's chest was so sweet.
00:20:25"'What did I tell you? That chair was useless!' Rayton complained.
00:20:28"'Quick, seal the door shut!' Vorden no longer hesitated, and using his abilities,
00:20:33he pulled the broken door back in place, and using all his powers, quickly sealed it up.
00:20:38Quinn was no longer chasing after Vorden, but instead knelt on the floor, crying in pain.
00:20:44Vorden stayed there with his hands held up, holding the door in place,
00:20:47fear that whatever was inside or whatever was happening to Quinn would come out again and
00:20:52attack him. The screams continued for a good fifteen minutes, until they eventually died
00:20:57down and stopped. "'Quinn?' Vorden called out softly,
00:21:02hoping not to startle him. "'Is everything okay?'
00:21:05"'Yeah,' Quinn replied. "'Just give me a few moments. I'll let you know when it's okay.'
00:21:10The pain had finally stopped, and Quinn really did need a few minutes to get a hang of everything,
00:21:15for the system was revealing so much new information to him in one go.
00:21:19"'Congratulations, evolution was successful. You are now a vampire.
00:21:23Charm? Five. Blood family bonus? Zero.' Just looking at his status screen alone,
00:21:29so much had changed. Quinn had yet to put his extra stat point,
00:21:33but it seemed like two more options were added to the stats screen,
00:21:36the first one being the charm stat, and the second being a blood family bonus,
00:21:41although with no explanation, Quinn was clueless to what these two things did.
00:21:45But what he did understand was that he had gone from a halfling into a full-fledged vampire now.
00:21:50Quinn had expected this change might have happened as he continued to level up,
00:21:54he only hoped that it didn't happen so soon. For there was the worry, now that he was a vampire
00:22:00instead of a halfling, what happened when he stepped into the sun. However, there were even
00:22:04more messages to come from the system. Skill, blood ritual unlocked. Zero of two members.
00:22:10New skill, days. Two new skills had been unlocked, although there was no description at all for the
00:22:16first one, which just left Quinn confused. However, now he knew there was some use for
00:22:21the charm stat. But the messages didn't stop there. Shop has been unlocked.
00:22:26New tutorials have been unlocked. System level two will now activate.
00:22:31Just then a screen had appeared in front of Quinn and once again it was the handsome blonde man he
00:22:36had seen the last time, the man who had taught him the hammer strike and the flash step.
00:22:40Congrats, the man said. You have now officially joined the family. I thought maybe a simple human
00:22:45wouldn't be able to make it this far, but it looks like my little experiment was a success.
00:22:50Now that the system has been upgraded to level two, I had a good friend of mine install an AI
00:22:54system with my voice. It's amazing, right? Now you'll never feel alone again, and if you ever
00:22:59have a question about the system, just ask. What? Quinn thought. Why wasn't the system like
00:23:04this from the beginning? Now you're probably thinking, why didn't I design it this way from
00:23:08the very beginning? The truth is, you needed to be able to get this far on your own. From your
00:23:13own mistakes along the way, they can only make you stronger. For some reason, Quinn felt the urge to
00:23:19punch the man if he ever met him in real life. Now before I leave you, although the AI system
00:23:24will help you answer any questions you have about the system, it is not able to go beyond that.
00:23:28So here are my final recorded words. I'm sorry, but now that you are a vampire,
00:23:32others will come looking for you. They have already blended into society, so it's almost
00:23:37impossible to tell who is one and who isn't. If you want to live a life of freedom as I did,
00:23:42then get stronger, create a force of your own, and fight back. Good luck, my friend."
00:23:47With that, the recorded message had ended, and the screen had disappeared. Quinn had many
00:23:51questions he wanted to ask the man, but he knew it was impossible. With the new system upgrade and
00:23:56the shop unlocked, he wanted to check out all the new things, but as he looked at the dead
00:24:01body in front of him, reality had hit him. I'm really not human anymore, am I?
00:24:06Quinn wanted to get stronger to protect himself and others from the abuse of those above,
00:24:11but now he had just killed a man, but for some reason, he didn't feel sad about it.
00:24:16In fact, it felt like it was just something he needed to do to survive.
00:24:20Before Quinn was to check out all the new things the system had revealed there,
00:24:23was one more problem he needed to face, and it was on the other side of the door.
00:24:28It was time to confront Vorden. Around ten minutes had passed since Vorden
00:24:33had last heard Quinn say anything, but he preferred this over the screaming Quinn.
00:24:38Before, he felt like at any second a rampage might start up from him, but right now,
00:24:42he was relaxed and no longer had his hand held up holding the door. He leaned up against the
00:24:47door with his back propped up against it.
00:24:49"'Hey, what are we still doing here?' Rayton asked.
00:24:52"'Any second now that guy could be eating us. I don't understand.'
00:24:55"'But he isn't, is he?' Vorden replied.
00:24:58"'Do you think he could have eaten us just now, to be honest? I don't even think me holding up
00:25:02the door with my ability would have been enough to stop him.' He then lifted his hand across his
00:25:06chest. The wound had dried up and was starting to scab over. Then movement from the other side
00:25:11of the door was heard as Quinn started to lift himself up from the ground.
00:25:16"'Vorden, are you still there?' Quinn asked.
00:25:18"'Yeah, I'm here. You all right now?'
00:25:20"'Yeah, I'm okay. You probably want to know what just happened, don't you?'
00:25:24"'Well, I'd be lying if I said no.'
00:25:26Quinn then took a deep breath as he prepared to tell Vorden the whole tale. It was hard for him.
00:25:31Unlike Layla, who had been so accepting of it, not everyone was like her and he was afraid of
00:25:36Vorden's reaction. He slowly started at the beginning about how he had obtained a book,
00:25:41and after using it felt different all of a sudden. Quinn then went on to explain the events
00:25:46at school and even things that happened with Layla, all up to the point where he had arrived
00:25:50in the portal world, eventually turning into the Bloodsucker. There were some details he decided
00:25:55to leave out, though. There was no reason for him to reveal that his ability was like a system,
00:26:00but only that he grew more powerful with blood. He also left out everything to do with the system,
00:26:04including the mysterious blonde-headed man. This mystery was his own problem to deal with,
00:26:09and he only needed to tell Vorden what he needed to. There was silence between the two for a few
00:26:14moments as Quinn finished the story. Vorden was, of course, shocked by the whole thing. Vampires,
00:26:20he didn't even know there were such things, and if Quinn had told him this before, he would have
00:26:24thought he had gone mad. But Vorden had seen it. He had seen what Quinn had turned into,
00:26:29and Ian's dead body in the room was proof of that.
00:26:32"'You know, I knew you were different from the moment I met you,' said Vorden.
00:26:36"'What do you mean?' Quinn asked. "'Do you know how abilities work? Every person has a number of
00:26:40mutant cells inside their body that they can activate. The more cells a person can activate,
00:26:45the stronger their ability level. My ability allows me to replicate these cells from one
00:26:50person into my own body. That's why if someone is only a Level 1 Earth user, I can only copy
00:26:55the same number of mutant cells from them. But when I shook your hand, I felt the different
00:27:00cells in your body, Quinn. Just for whatever reason, I couldn't replicate them. It tried and
00:27:05tried, forming and breaking down, but every time they would end up in failure. It was the first
00:27:10time something like that had ever happened.' "'Are you scared of me, Vorden?'
00:27:15"'Scared, Quinn? Everyone has their own secrets that they don't want others to know,
00:27:18some more so than others. It's understandable why you hid it. The government, military,
00:27:23and the big families would all be trying to get their hands on you, trying to use your power for
00:27:27themselves.' Vorden then turned around and moved the metal door out and into the corridor. The
00:27:33metal door was placed to the side, and when he lifted his face, his mouth remained wide open.
00:27:38To his surprise, Quinn looked almost like a completely different person. He had a whole
00:27:43new energy surrounding him. Quinn had grown a few inches in height, his skin looked super smooth
00:27:48and had gone slightly pale, while his face looked a little more masculine.
00:27:53"'Now this might be a tough one to explain,' Vorden said.
00:27:57Before leaving the room, Vorden went to check on Ian's body. He continued to search and search,
00:28:02but could find no sign of the advanced tear crystal. Was he lying about it? But what he did
00:28:08see was two bite marks on the neck of Ian. Right now, Quinn looked completely normal,
00:28:12but looking at the bite marks on Ian's neck, it reassured him that everything Quinn said
00:28:16was the truth. The two of them went looking around until they had come across a toilet.
00:28:22Inside was a mirror for Quinn to look at himself. The changes weren't so drastic that you couldn't
00:28:27tell it was Quinn, but it looked like he had just gone on a 12-week model training course.
00:28:32They continued to walk around and ended back in the arena where the two of them fought.
00:28:36The two looked at the mess they had caused, Quinn thinking about when he was a bloodsucker
00:28:40and Vorden thinking about the little one. There were scraps of metal all over the place,
00:28:46multiple broken chairs and across the floor, blood. For now,
00:28:50Quinn was full from his last meal and he also had to fill up his blood bank.
00:28:54Based on Ian's information, the portal was most likely to be in this building,
00:28:58a secret switch of some sort, hidden somewhere, but the two of them had no clue where that would
00:29:03be. After searching around for a while and no success, the two of them sat down on the arena
00:29:08floor. Quinn asked why Vorden was even here in the first place and gave the simple reply of
00:29:14I came after you. Although they didn't stay on the subject for long as it seemed,
00:29:18Vorden kept steering away from the conversation. Quinn assumed it was something to do with Peter,
00:29:23and right now that was the last person the two of them wanted to speak about.
00:29:27That's when Vorden's stomach started to growl. It had been a while since he had eaten the last
00:29:31food pill. Are you hungry? Quinn asked. Aren't you? For a second there was another awkward
00:29:37silence between the two. If you want, I can give you some of my blood,
00:29:41Vorden said. You know, I do eat normal food as well. The two of them started to laugh and joke
00:29:46about a few things as time passed by. It's a shame you can't use your abilities in school.
00:29:51If it was a normal ability my family could offer you protection, the military wouldn't try hurting
00:29:56you. Although Quinn could try to pass off the vampire abilities as something normal,
00:30:01there was the problem that there was no skill like it. They would immediately assume he was
00:30:05an original, and there was now something that worried him even more. On the video the system
00:30:10had shown, the blonde man stated others would now be looking for him. Were others referring to
00:30:15other vampires? If so, he needed to keep this a secret even more so than before. From the sound
00:30:21of the video, they didn't sound like they would be welcoming to him. Then something clicked in his
00:30:26head. There was something he could learn that wasn't part of his vampire skills. The level 6
00:30:31ability book. The shadow book. Hi, Quinn here. Wondering what happens next? If you want to jump
00:30:40the queue and unleash all episodes, click on the link here and install the Pocket FM app.
00:30:45The Shadow Book
00:30:50While Vorden continued to search the arena for some type of secret exit, Quinn was pretending
00:30:54to look for one as well while walking around. Instead, he wanted to inspect the ability book
00:30:59he had received earlier from the metal container. As soon as he thought about his inventory,
00:31:04a screen appeared in front of him. Then, when just thinking about the item,
00:31:07the system would come up with a message. Would you like to take out the level 6 shadow ability book?
00:31:13This time, rather than a monotone robotic voice the system usually played in his head,
00:31:17it was the annoying energetic blond man's voice. Inspect. Level 6 shadow book can only be learned
00:31:23by those that have been blooded. As Quinn used his inspect skill, a weird word had been added
00:31:29at the end. Blooded? Was that another name for vampires, perhaps? When Quinn tried the other
00:31:34ability books, he wasn't able to learn any of them. It started to make Quinn ask more questions
00:31:40about the book. Why did the military keep such a high-level book locked away? Was it because
00:31:45everyone had died or were they planning to sell it off for the future? Either way, he had never
00:31:50heard of someone possessing a shadow ability before. Just then, the annoying voice was heard
00:31:55again. So, it looks like you want to learn more about the book, huh? Well, I can tell if you want.
00:32:00Do you want to know? The AI system seemed to be just as annoying as the man himself.
00:32:05Your guess is correct. Blooded refers to those that have been blessed or cursed,
00:32:09whichever way you want to look at it, with vampire blood. It doesn't matter if they're
00:32:14a halfling, a vampire lord, or even a ghoul. As long as they possess some of the vampire's blood,
00:32:19they are able to learn these abilities. Do you know why the book was here? I have no clue.
00:32:25The AI system had surprisingly answered in great detail. It was like the blond man said. While the
00:32:30inspect skill was able to tell him information about items, his system would clarify things
00:32:34to him related to the system. Quinn was still unsure about whether to learn it or not,
00:32:39as he still needed more information, and it seemed like the AI was the perfect person to ask.
00:32:45Is this the only ability book vampires can learn? And can vampires learn more than one ability?
00:32:50Just like humans, vampires are only able to learn one ability. Whether or not there are
00:32:54other ability books out there like this, who knows? There may be some stronger, they may be weaker.
00:32:59The AI system was only an AI system after all. The problem was if this truly was another ability
00:33:05that Quinn was unable to use in the outside world, he didn't want it. Another ability that the world
00:33:10didn't know about meant he would be targeted. However, the question remained if there even
00:33:15was an ability that vampires could use as well as humans. Quinn had asked the AI more questions,
00:33:20hoping to get an answer it had no clue and would just reply back with sarcastic answers.
00:33:26With that being said, there was one person in the room that was knowledgeable about these things,
00:33:30and he might just know about the shadow ability. Vorden. Although the systems stated blooded were
00:33:35the only ones that could learn it, maybe there were other vampires out there that had used the
00:33:40ability before. As the two passed by each other while making their rounds around the stadium,
00:33:45Quinn popped the question. Vorden, have you ever heard of an ability that uses shadows?
00:33:51Shadows? Honestly, my gut instinct would be no, or at least not the world anyway,
00:33:55but you were honest with me so it's time I'll be honest with you, said Vorden. The two of them then
00:34:00sat down a few chairs apart in the stadium, one of the rows that hadn't been trashed from the fight.
00:34:06Remember when I said earlier how I kept an eye on you because I couldn't copy your ability?
00:34:10Well, you're not the first one, or not the first one in our family, said Vorden. As you know,
00:34:15I'm an original, so our powers have been passed down from generation to generation
00:34:19for hundreds of years. In my great-grandfather's journal, there was a time he said he had come
00:34:24across another user with an ability. Now back then this was rare, the whole world still didn't know
00:34:29humans had super capabilities, but each time we would come across one, my family would log it,
00:34:34especially since our ability relied on others. For the first time, he had come across someone's
00:34:39ability he couldn't copy. So is that why you were so interested in me? Vorden's face started to go
00:34:45a little red as he was embarrassed hearing those words. When you say it like that, it sounds a
00:34:50little strange. I assure you I don't think of you in that way, Vorden said awkwardly, but then his
00:34:55face went serious. Now that I told you, tell me, how would something the public not know about
00:35:01would you know about? At the moment, Quinn lifted the ability book in his hand which had the words
00:35:06SHADOW ABILITY written across it. For a second, Vorden had to rub his eyes to check he wasn't
00:35:11seeing things. He thought perhaps Quinn might have learned something when he turned into a
00:35:15vampire about it, but to actually have the ability book in his hand itself. Whoa! You actually found
00:35:21it! I was sure it would have been an original skill, but there was actually an ability book!
00:35:26Well, what are you waiting for? Let's learn it now! We have all the time in the world and we're
00:35:30stuck here doing nothing. Well, I really did want to learn it, but the problem is if I did others
00:35:35would be after me, just like they would for the vampire ability. Vorden started to think long and
00:35:40hard if there was anything he could do to help him. Then his master plan came to him.
00:35:46I think we can use the situation we're into to your advantage, said Vorden. The school must know
00:35:51by now that we have been sent to another planet, a red portal planet at that. There are things that
00:35:56have been undiscovered on these planets all the time. You can just say you found the book here,
00:36:00that you learned it for your survival. They all know you're level one trash.
00:36:04Vorden paused for a moment after saying those words. I mean, they all think you're just a level
00:36:09one, right? I'll say while we were in the portal world I protected you, and as payment, after
00:36:13learning the skill, you decided to hand the book over to me. That way the people will no longer be
00:36:18bugging you for it, but my family instead. Vorden smiled as if he had just cracked the
00:36:23toughest case in a mystery novel. Are you sure your family will be okay with that?
00:36:29For a split second Quinn thought he had seen Vorden's face drop, but then he blinked and
00:36:33looked again. It was completely normal. Yeah, they'll be fine with the plan or set.
00:36:38Let's get to learning that ability book. I can't wait to see the faces of everyone when we get out
00:36:42of here. If we get out of here, Quinn said. Vorden and Quinn stood opposite each other in
00:36:48the center of the stadium, not too far from each other so they could hear each other without having
00:36:52the need to shout. Now, what I'm about to tell you they would probably teach you at the school
00:36:56later on anyway, but I'm going to tell you now because it should be helpful when learning the
00:37:00ability book. Vorden then started to use the magnetism ability he had obtained from Ian.
00:37:06He pulled over a small bolt and began to levitate around in his hand.
00:37:10Everyone knows about the power level system. There are eight levels in total. These levels
00:37:14are actually determined by how many mutant cells you are able to activate in your body
00:37:18and not actually determined by strength. Let's take the earth ability as an example.
00:37:23Someone with a low number of cells is only able to transform the earth they can hold in their hand,
00:37:28while a level 5 earth user might be able to lift the earth from the ground without touching it.
00:37:32These type of ability books contain information on how to activate more mutant cells for your
00:37:37specific type of ability. But if the power levels don't actually determine strength,
00:37:42then why the test when we start at school? Quinn asked.
00:37:45Good question, said Vorden. The test the military gives you is actually to put you into the sub
00:37:49categories they created, the 1.1, 1.2, etc. This can sometimes be determined by what skills you
00:37:56have as well. Vorden then lifted up his wristwatch and showed him the number currently displayed,
00:38:01which said 6 on it. Quinn was suddenly confused because he was sure he had seen the number 5 on
00:38:06it before. These watches are the answer. The watches they put on us are able to determine
00:38:12the number of mutant cells in our body. Before even taking the test, they knew what level we
00:38:16were at. They simply just set the watches to an off mode the moment we arrived. When I use my
00:38:21ability, I also copy the number of mutant cells in their body, which is why the watch now shows the
00:38:26number 6. Quinn seemed to be learning so much, it just proved that the information that was
00:38:31revealed to originals, compared to the rest, was different. This also further confirmed that Quinn
00:38:36being a vampire wasn't an ability. The number on his watch had never changed, or maybe it was the
00:38:42fact that his cells were no longer human. Think about it. Not every test is able to
00:38:46determine someone's strength. Some abilities allow you to tell if someone is telling the truth,
00:38:52some allow superhearing, and some can help you see into the future. Although these might not be
00:38:56strong fighting abilities themselves, they require a high number of mutant cells to activate in the
00:39:01first place. And now, that brings me to your book," Vorden said as he pointed towards it.
00:39:06It might take a while before we can tell if you have the ability to learn it or not.
00:39:11It sounded harsh, but what Vorden was saying was true.
00:39:14Now, we move on to the second problem. Even though you have the ability book,
00:39:18what about skill books? With no skills, you will most likely only be able to unlock one-tenth of
00:39:23its power. But don't let that get you down. The ability books and skill books are only shortcuts
00:39:27to learning these things in the first place. When the originals discovered their powers,
00:39:31they had no books. They learned and discovered everything themselves.
00:39:36Quinn thought about everything Vorden had said. He further went on to explain that each book would
00:39:41explain a technique that could be used to mutate a specific type of cell. The higher the ability
00:39:46book, the more information it would reveal about the method used. Some abilities just didn't have
00:39:51lower levels and required people to have a high number of mutant cells to use them.
00:39:56There was another little bit of information he revealed, but decided to not go into too much
00:40:00detail. It was the fact that your soul weapon also had something to do with the number of
00:40:05mutated cells in your body as well. This would determine how strong of a soul weapon you had.
00:40:11The example Vorden gave was Momo. Although Momo's ability wasn't too strong in a fight,
00:40:16his soul weapon was incredibly powerful as a level 6 ability user.
00:40:21Vorden had explained that learning a level 6 ability book, of the bat, would take months to
00:40:26learn. But while here, they could get a head start. But Quinn thought differently. There was
00:40:32one thing Vorden didn't know, and it was that his vampire abilities also worked like a system.
00:40:37He touched the book once more, and the system message popped up again.
00:40:40Would you like to learn the level 6 shadow ability? There was no going back after this. Yes.
00:40:46The book then lifted into the air, and the pages started turning and flashing in front of him.
00:40:51Suddenly, there was the sense of deja vu. Vorden stood on the sideline and took a step back.
00:40:56He had never seen anything like this happen before. Then finally, once all of the pages
00:41:01of the book had been flipped, it disappeared and vanished into thin air.
00:41:05Vorden immediately rushed over to Quinn, who was holding his head with his hand.
00:41:09What happened? Are you okay? Vorden asked. Yeah, I'm fine.
00:41:13As the pain in his head slowly went away, he looked up, and in front of his vision,
00:41:17he was greeted with multiple messages. Congratulations! You have learned the
00:41:21level 6 shadow ability. You have now unlocked the shadow skills tab.
00:41:25You have unlocked the mutant cell stat. 10 skill points have been added.
00:41:29New shadow skill dimensional storage has been activated.
00:41:32New skill shadow control level 1 has been added.
