future plans
I glanced at the system screen again, noticing new additions. Before, the system had been basic, but now it was more detailed:
Name: Ren Dover
Age: 16
Title: None
Vampire Ranking: Tier - F
Abilities:
[Semi-Blood Control]
[Semi-Superhuman Body]
[Semi-Regeneration]
[Blood Drain]
Stats:
HP: 200 / 200
Dex: 21
Def: 25
Speed: 25
Will: 22
Luck: 7
Min: 20
Items: None
Subordinates: None
Weaknesses:
Sunlight
Religious Items
Garlic
Silver Bullets
Vampire Points: 170
Huh, the system's been upgraded with new information. But why are the numbers so low?
[The numbers are appropriate for an F-tier vampire. The average human's stats range between 5 and 10. As you advance in the vampire hierarchy, your power will increase significantly.]
Okay, that makes sense. But what's the benefit of having a title?
[A title offers multiple benefits. It provides a stat boost, increases your prestige among others, gives people a better sense of your character, and allows for improved control over magical items and subordinates.]
Oh, that's useful. Alright, let's move on to the next thing I wanted to check—the shop.
I swiped my hand to the right, switching the screen from my status to the shop. I wasn't disappointed. The shop had undergone a major upgrade. Not only were there more items available, but there was also a 50% discount on everything.
System, why is there a discount in the shop? Not that I'm complaining, but I'd like to know the reason. And will this discount come back?
[The shop is offering a discount to as it help that you in upgrade the system. The system cannot confirm if this discount will return, so it is advisable to take advantage of it now while prices are halved.]
Okay, why did that last part sound like a sales pitch?
Alright, let's go over the new items added to the shop. Please, for the love of all that's unholy, let them be useful. I scanned through the list, my eyes stopping at a few notable additions.
[Raven's Hat]
Protects the wearer from mind attacks and keeps their mind calm in stressful situations. As they say, a healthy mind is the best weapon for any living organism—vampire or not.
Vampire Points: 50
This could be incredibly useful, especially against mind readers like Xavier from the X-Men.
[Corvus Gauntlet]
A healthy vampire must engage with enemies from time to time, and preparation is key. This gauntlet protects the user's arm from most attacks and provides a 10% boost to physical and magical attacks.
Vampire Points: 50
Not bad. A little extra protection and a damage boost could come in handy.
[Cane]
A simple cane with great aesthetic appeal.
Vampire Points: 30
My eyes widened at the points required for what seemed like a simple cane. It might be a waste of points... but then again, it does look like it belongs to someone with taste—like a noble from medieval London. Hmm, I want it, but I'll finish checking the other items first.
After going through the rest of the shop, I finally decided to purchase
After careful consideration, I decided to purchase the following items:
[Cloak of Darkness]
To help me stay hidden in the shadows, especially since I'll be operating mainly at night for the time being.
[Raven's Hat]
To protect myself against mind readers like Xavier. Can't afford to have my thoughts exposed.
[Corvus Gauntlet]
For combat. More strength and protection are always good.
[Stormbeak Mantle]
An armor piece that offers excellent protection. Can't go wrong with that.
[Raven's Mask]
To conceal my identity from both magical and non-magical users. Anonymity is key.
And finally... the [Cane].
Yeah, I bought it. It's purely for aesthetics, but sometimes style matters too.
Now, I'm completely bankrupt, with zero Vampire Points to my name. I lay on the floor, staring at the ceiling, the cane resting in my hand. Now I'll have to save up 2000 Vampire Points to acquire [Sanctum of Night] and [Door of Ravens]. Those two are crucial for my future plans of building a following.
I should check if the bodies were found—and if they were, by whom. If it's the heroes or investigators, it might cause a little trouble, but villains will likely just blame it on their rivals. Either way, I need to stay ahead of the situation.
