Arin sighed as he jumped on the bed, remembering his conversation with Liora.
But suddenly.....
’Wait.... I still have unread notifications....’
Instantly, he opened the system screen and saw the red dot at the bottom, which signified unread notifications.
Without wasting time, he opened it, and the notifications instantly flooded the screen.
[An Unwritten Event is happening.]
[An Unwritten Event is happening.]
There were three more similar notifications before another set of notifications appeared.
[Due to fighting Alex Whiteheart, buildings were destroyed, and the students were confused and in disarray.]
Arin’s eyes instantly went downwards to the next notification.
[Because of this, you caused Chaos and have gotten a reward.]
Arin furrowed his brows. ’Now that I think about it, isn’t the system just encouraging me to cause chaos?’
’I mean, if it was really that Great One who created the system, then he or she is encouraging me to cause chaos?’
It was a question he didn’t have an answer to.
’There’s still some things I don’t know,’ Arin thought. ’Wish I could just meet this Great One in person and ask my questions.’
Well, he knew that he would still find a way to get his answers, so he put that at the back of his mind for now.
The next notification was about the reward.
[Reward: Information about the Third Innate Skill of a Progenitor.]
Arin’s eyes widened a bit. ’Information about the third Innate Skill....’
The first Innate Skill of a Progenitor was Overheat, and the second one was Aura. He already had those two, but now, he had information about the third one.
’Hmm, I just received those two immediately, but this one.....’
The sourc𝗲 of this content is freēwēbηovel.c૦m.
Arin could feel the information and procedure above the Skill entering his head.
It wasn’t like the first and second skill that he just got and immediately knew how to use. This time, he would have to use the information and follow the procedure to be able to successfully learn the Skill.
This reward also raised another question.
’If I’m getting rewards related to Vampires, then that means this Great One does not only know about the Vampires but can also give Vampire-related Skills and information....’ Arin thought.
That was if it was actually this Great One who even created the system in the first place.
Arin glanced at Roxanne, who was still staring outside, before analyzing the information he just received.
’The Third Innate Skill of the Vampire: Blood Armour,’ Arin thought.
From the information he just received, other Vampires could also create a Blood Armour around their body, but the Progenitor’s own was special.
It was an Innate Skill.
’So I just have to release my Blood Energy and make it surround me, huh?’
That part of the process was quite easy, but the second part was quite tricky.
He had to make sure that the Blood Energy that surrounded his body was very close to his skin, or rather, stuck to his skin.
It was tricky because whenever Blood Energy or even Mana was released, it tended to spread out, except the owner of that Mana or Blood Energy controlled it to stay in one place.
’But even with that, it’s quite difficult to make it stuck to my skin,’ Arin thought. ’Even when using the Aura Skill, my Blood Energy isn’t stuck to my skin; it’s a few inches away from it.’
Though, as long as it was part of the information and other Progenitors could already use it, that meant that it was definitely possible.
’I just have to be persistent and make sure I master it.’
As Arin was about to start practicing it, he suddenly had a thought.
’The information says I have to release my Blood Energy. It didn’t specify if it was a little bit,’ Arin thought.
’What if Dad ends up sensing it?’
He didn’t want to underestimate Godric. After all, from the memories of the original Arin, he knew that Godric was more powerful than he seemed.
’The Blood Energy that was released when Liora appeared was little, so I’m sure no one sensed that, but this.....’
Arin decided not to start practicing it now. He didn’t want to take any chances.
’I’ll think of something. Maybe I’ll practice it at a convenient time or a different place entirely.’
With that, Arin spent the whole night doing small tricks with his Blood Energy, like the Blood Spike—things that he was sure wouldn’t be sensed.
At one point, he joined Roxanne at the window, and they both talked and joked about a few things.
He also found out that apart from Liora, she didn’t have friends in the Vampire Kingdom.
Well, she mentioned that it was her fault for pushing people away and being bad at socializing.
When Arin heard what she said, he couldn’t help but relate. He remembered his past life on Earth. His case was also something similar.
After his parents died, his character took a complete turn. He pushed the only friends he had away and completely stopped socializing.
Now, he realized that he was wrong for doing that.
’I was so overwhelmed by emotions, so I can’t really say it’s my fault, but at the same time, that wasn’t the best thing to do,’ Arin thought. ’They only tried to be with me and make sure that I wasn’t alone, but foolish me, I pushed them away.’
Arin wasn’t the only one thinking about his character or how he once acted.
In a luxurious-looking house, inside a spacious room, a girl was staring at the moon through her window.
The moon bathed her face with its light, highlighting her black bluish-pink hair and her blue eyes.
It was Tessa Silverhart.
Since her parents died, she had been living with her uncle, who was a successful businessman, so in a sense, they were quite rich.
"Hmm, I wasn’t able to see Arin before I left," she muttered.
The time when they went to that village to fight those bandits flashed in her head, and a small smile unknowingly formed on her face.
Though, ever since she began talking to Arin, there was always a certain thought intruding on her mind.
’Was talking to others casually this satisfying?’
She was known as a cold beauty in the Academy.... A kind of person others saw as some kind of royalty.
It was even as if talking to her was a privilege, something that was quite unachievable for anyone except Alex Whiteheart.
She didn’t build that image by herself. It just happened.
She was always reserved and preferred to remain quiet rather than say anything. And because she was beautiful, it made it impossible for others to approach her.
She was always thinking about her parents seventy percent of the time, so she wasn’t even bothered about anyone else around her.
But after her conversation with Arin in that carriage when returning from the village, she felt... satisfied, almost happy.
’I don’t remember having a normal conversation like that before.... Maybe that’s why it felt so refreshing.’
And because of that, she had been thinking.
’Should I try talking to my classmates? Maybe have a normal conversation with them?’
She was now motivated to change and try talking to her classmates.
She didn’t want to be someone who others felt was impossible to talk to. She didn’t care about being a cold beauty.
"It might be hard, but....."
Her gaze flickered as a small smile formed on her face.
"I’ll definitely be able to do it....." Stay tuned to Freewebnovel
With that, she now had a new goal, awaiting when they would all resume.
The sun was up high in the sky, signifying that it was already morning.
Arin got up from his bed, with the bracelet around his wrist.
In the night, just like he had predicted, his mother came to spy on him—well, it was more like checking up on him.
Thankfully, with his enhanced senses, he was able to hear her footsteps and pretend to be asleep.
Even though she acted like a creep, Arin knew that both she and Godric genuinely cared for him and Lina.
’But they seem to like that old man more than us.’
Arin arrived in the parlour, where the others were already present.
Marla was already placing food on the table, with Lina helping her in the kitchen, while Edwin was in Godric’s arms as usual and was playing with his beard.
"Good morning, everyone," Arin said.
"Oh, good morning, my boy," Godric said.
Edwin just gave Arin a death glare once again before looking away, though Arin heard him mutter something.
"We still have to fight....."
"Good morning, Arin."
Marla and Lina also replied to Arin as Lina dropped the last plate of food on the table.
With that, they began another session of forcing themselves to eat—except Lina, Marla herself, and Edwin.
Now, they were all seated on the chairs in the parlour, with Godric and Marla preparing to start the day’s activities, but suddenly....
*KNOCK* *KNOCK*
"Good morning! Who is in?"
A voice was heard from outside.
Arin squinted his eyes.
’That voice..... That’s Riya’s voice.’
