After all the blood that he already lost due to courtesy of the assassins, and all the processes that happened on the altar, Rex now looked as pale white as snow.
He could not pay attention to his surroundings due to the critical state of his body as he fell face-first into the blood pool without being able to resist.
Splash!
Once Rex's body touched the blood pool, a slight resonance seemed to take place between the blood pool, the blood throne, and the bloody red book.
The next moment, a bright red glow erupted from the blood throne as the red glow engulfed the blood pool.
On falling into the blood pool, Rex's body did not float as he slowly sank deeper inside it. As he was slowly buried completely, this was when the red glow covered the whole pool including the water that lay under.
As the red glow covered everywhere, just like the reactions when 2 chemicals were mixed in a chemical combination, the blood pool sizzled and this was what spread the blood resonance to Rex's body.
[Ding! Commencing Blood Bath!]
Rex's body shuddered as he felt like electric currents were traveling through his bloodstream and sucking his remaining blood away.
Even after a few seconds, the transfer of current did not stop as Rex's body increased its shuddering intensity. As he shuddered, his eyes snapped open and close repeatedly as they glowed a deep red color.
Rex did not know what was happening to him, but perhaps due to the current coursing through his body, he felt strength entering his body from nowhere.
Even as strength returned to him, his body slowly graduated from shuddering to a full-fledged convulsion as the blood pool wrapped his skin up.
In no time, Rex was wrapped up by the blood pool completely to form another cocoon and this was when changes finally started happening to him.
Stuck inside the blood cocoon, Rex could not see but he felt changes happening to his body. He felt like he was having the best bath of his life as he visibly felt impurities being cleansed from his body.
As more and more impurities were cleansed out of his body, Rex felt himself becoming more perfect with time, and all of a sudden, he seemed to have crossed a threshold as he felt a dam in his mind being broken.
[Congratulations! You have overcome the shackles of impurity of the Ancient Vector family and you have unlocked the ancient bloodline of the Vector family!]
[Congratulations! You are now a Vampire!]
[Establishing new connection with the hivemind system…]
[Congratulations! Your system has been modified to complement your bloodline; you have unlocked The Vampire System!]
[Full system package has been unlocked!]
The cocoon covered Rex for 5 minutes, and after that, it shattered as visible changes suddenly started being detected in his body.
After these 5 minutes, Rex's body was now paler than ever before, it was like what happened in the cocoon completed the final deed and sucked all his remaining blood away.
His pale body though spooky was not the real highlight here though.
At this moment, Rex's body was well-streamlined than ever before, his facial contours were at their most perfect version and his skin was perfect and smooth, Rex was super handsome at this moment.
The greatest highlight though was his teeth. At this moment, Rex looked extremely similar to the future version of himself that he saw in his dreams.
His eyes were cold and red, almost emotionless, his face looked lifeless and 2 of his teeth each from the lower and upper jaws were longer than ever before as they jutted out of the sides of his mouth as fangs.
At this moment, Rex was a real Vampire!
[Reminder Notification: Climb the Blood Throne to complete the inheritance of the Ancient Vector Family Inheritance!]
Once Rex heard this from his system, he stood up instinctively. At this moment, his brain was still a mess from the trauma of the death, and everything but his body still moved like they were being controlled by his emotions.
Rex walked on the blood pool till he arrived before the Blood Throne, then he sat down before holding the bloody red book with his right hand.
Once he did this, his system lit up with other notifications again.
[Congratulations Upgraded Rex, you have completed the inheritance!]
[You have received the bestowment of the Blood Throne!]
[You have received the Blood Book!]
[Now is the time for you to watch the history of the Ancient Vector Family and see the origin of the Upgrade legendary mystic ability.]
Bzzz!
Rex dozed off in the blood throne and his consciousness woke up in a world that was so much different from today, the 21st century!
Rex's consciousness went back over a thousand years ago back to the age of awakening. Just like in his dreams, he was here as a spectator as he watched a young man's journey who looked facially similar to himself.
"Orion Vector!" Rex got the name of this youth without asking.
Orion Vector, Rex finally got the opportunity to see the life of the first ancestor of the Ancient Vector family who awakened the upgrade mystic ability.
Orion's life was simple and uneventful throughout his first life. It was during his 2nd life after he understood his powers that things started getting interesting.
Through the lens of this legendary ancestor of his, Rex was able to watch the rise and fall of the powerful Ancient Vector family.
As a spectator, Rex watched as the Vector family got to the height of their powers. They became one of the strongest mystic families on planet earth, but everything changed when the Holmes family attacked.
Rex finally knew the name of the mystic family that brought the end of his family, and he was not exposed to them in the nicest of terms.
The Holmes family rose tyrannically like a villain as they knocked the Vector family down from their high pedestal.
Rex was traumatized as he saw millions of his ancestors dying before his eyes. The Vectors were slaughtered with impunity.
After Orion Vector was captured by his enemies, he was put to a trial and was sentenced to death by beheading.
In a public event that a lot of powerful mystic families attended, the once almighty Orion Vector was held in shackles as the executioner's ax was placed on his neck. Once the time came, the ax swung.
Whoosh!
Orion lost his head, blood dyed everywhere red, painting a scene of gloom.
Witnessing this scene so vividly was so traumatic to Rex that he almost had a heart seizure. Tears were already flowing down his eyes, it was like he experienced all these highs and lows alongside his ancestors, it felt painful.
Bzzz!
Rex's vision changed as his point of view changed from that of Orion Vector to that of another Vector family member, Lenor Vector.
"Dad!" Rex became emotional once he saw this familiar figure.
Just like his first ancestor, Rex saw the life of his father from the beginning to the end. He saw the last survivors of the Vector family, and he also watched as they suffered the same fate as their ancestors, they were slaughtered.
When his dad was beheaded, tears no longer flowed from Rex's eyes, his eyes were now bloody-red from extreme agitation as fire seemed to burn in them.
His intense look seemed to bore a hole straight to the killer of his dad. This mysterious man had a hood that covered his face and the quality was blurry, but Rex still carved the little details that he saw into his head.
"I will kill you!" Rex growled as his consciousness slowly faded.
…
When Rex woke up, the first thing that he felt was extreme anger followed by extreme hunger as he opened his mouth and roared to vent his emotions.
At this moment, he was in such a horrible state of mind that he already lost the little bit of rationality that remained, only one word rang in his mind.
"Kill!" "Kill!" "Kill!"
This was when his system lit up another notification.
[You are hungry!]
[You have received your first system mission: Feed!]
[You must drink human blood within the next 24 hours!]
[For every hour that passes without blood, your intelligence will keep on degrading till the extent that you become nothing more than a beast!]
[For every 2 hours that passes without blood, you will lose 1 HP!]
[Penalty for mission failure: Death!]
