Vampire System

Arthur opened his hand and an ancient black coloured ring materialized on his palm.

"This is the ring of authority worn by the late Origin. It should be glowing but it's not so what you have to do is make it glow," Arthur said and handed the ring over to Asher who collected it and began to examine it.

"And how would I do that?" Asher asked after looking at the ring.

"Put your blood on it, if your blood can make it glow then you are his descendant," Arthur replied and then took a seat on one of the chairs.

Asher bit on his finger and then put a drop of his blood on the ring, one second passed, two seconds passed, three seconds passed....nothing was happening.

"See, I told you that I am not the descendants...." Asher didn't finish his words when Arthur signalled for him to keep shut.

"Look carefully boy," Arthur suddenly said pointing at the ring in Asher's palm.

Asher looked confused at first but he turned and stared at the ring more intently, the ring began to show faint glints of red light and then it made a ~cling~ sound and suddenly the entire room was covered in shiny red light.

"It worked, does it mean...."

Seeing the reluctance in Asher, Arthur smiled and decided to complete the statement for him. "Yes, you are the true descendant of the Origin and this ring now belongs to you, before he died he told me to tell you to wear this ring once it is activated, he has a gift for you."

"I should wear it?" Asher asked to confirm, Arthur nodded and he gulped and decided to wear it.

[Vampire System Activated]

[Do you wish to continue]?

-------------

The outcome of wearing the ring surprised Asher to the core even Arthur wasn't expecting a thing like this. 'Is this the same system as the one I read about in My Vampire System?' He asked inwardly while he was still staring at the red translucent window that had appeared before his face. "Arthur, do you know of this?" he turned and asked Arthur.

"To tell you the truth, he said he will give you a guide that will help you become powerful enough to be able to rule the entire vampire race but he never made mentioned of giving you a system, I am quite shocked I must say but it is to help you indeed."

Asher was silent for some time then looked at the window before his face, he could see the status bar, the skills bar and the evolution bar.

'Continue' Asher said in his head.

[Welcome Asher, to the vampire world, you must be confused as to why this system is suddenly given to you. I'll gradually explain everything to you, you as fate would have it has been made the descendant of the Origin. Your duty as the descendant is to rule the entire vampire race just like the Master did but you are still too young to do so and you aren't powerful enough to do so. Thus, why this system is given to you. With this system as your guide, you will be able to become powerful and evolve until you climb to the top of being a vampire ruler, without becoming strong enough there is no way you will be able to rule the vampire race.

The system will guide you, giving you and teaching you everything you need to know about becoming a vampire ruler. And when you have become the ruler, this system is allowed to leave you.]

Asher silently listened to all that the system was saying and when it was done he didn't say a word and digested all the information.

"Are you alright?" Arthur asked as he watched the changes on Asher's face.

"I am fine, I just need some time to digest all these. Everything is happening too fast for me to understand but I guess I'll be able to cope with it. That aside, now that I'm the next ruler of the vampire race, what then becomes of you?"

"Truly, I have nothing to become of me. I am too old already and I have not enough powers left in me, what I need is rest and I can only get that when I finally go into an eternal slumber...If it pleases you, young lord, grant that I can go into an eternal slumber," Arthur said and lowered his head a little before the surprised Asher.

"I shall grant it to you but not now, wait for a year or two let me see where the system will take me to. If I've become more powerful than I am now, I'll let you take a rest," Asher replied. He was going to grant Arthur his request but not until he gets powerful to a certain level and that is why he has given himself a year or two to do that.

"Thank you, I'll be taking my leave now, I have some business to attend to," Arthur turned around to leave but was stopped by Asher.

"Don't tell any of these to anyone until I say so, and be careful also. You said you are no longer strong as before so I guess that many want you dead to take over your place, I can't protect you well enough yet or I would ask you to be by my side so for now be careful and be alert," Asher said and Arthur smiled a bit and lowered his head.

"I will," he said and disappeared from the room.

"Now, where is Miles?" Asher asked as he materialized inside their kitchen, he was supposed to be waiting for him there but he was nowhere to be seen. He sniffed the air as he walked around the rooms but the scent of Miles was faint in the house, he walked to the front of the house and sniffed the air again, "He has been here for long but why do I smell....."
