BXBX NOVEL Chapter 3 What Kind Of System Are You?
"Hmmm, who are you?", the voice snorted.
"Humph, shouldn't you present first before asking a lady her name, who taught you manners, whatever there is room for development I guess… this lady's name is Evangeline, I'm the one who manage the almighty "Van Helsing System", I don't mind keeping you company host but at this rate you will die due to blood loss and internal traumatism, I have scanned your belongings and there is not enough medicine to heal your organs I suggest you to accept the gift from the system to restore your body".
Daimon was baffled, but he was cautious after all some unknown voice suddenly appeared on his head, since he was a vampire, this so-called system could be a trap from a demon or something like that.
"My name is Daimon and no thanks I will only use the potions left behind by… my mother, to heal myself", remembering his mother's death he felt the hatred burn deep inside his heart while he took out some medicines of the storage ring.
Evangeline waited for a moment before sighing, "kid if I wanted to harm you then you wouldn't be able to stop me… I can see you don't trust me but what if I told you, you can bring that woman back to life?", Daimon stopped what he was doing he thought that her words were like the tempting whispers of a devil but he couldn't help but ask.
"What's the trick?".
Evangeline was getting annoyed "for fucks sake, the system was designed to be easily used by you, I'm bound to you which means that if you die, I will also die, now repeat after me "status", and just check the reward box, then you can decide whether you want to die or not".
Daimon shrugged "I don't have anything to lose anyway" he thought before saying out loud.
"Status", then in front of him floating it appeared a translucid blue screen similar to the ones you can see in video games, there was three bars marked ad "HP, MP, AP" with some numbers on it and a lot of tabs but most of them had a lock symbol which he supposed it meant those options were not available, he directed his attention to one of tabs that were unlocked with a symbol that resembled a mailbox which had a yellow sign blinking.
He extended his hand and clicked on the mailbox the icon then the screen changed and a list was deployed, there was only one message which said.
"Miracle Victory: against all the odds the host achieved something that shouldn't be possible and slayed an enemy that was way beyond the current level of the host, as a reward the system bestows the host the title "The one who has overcome destiny", for more information check the titles tab".
Daimon nodded so far this was like a game achievement message so he continued reading the message.
"Since the first victory of the host is classified to be a "SSS Divinity" difficulty rank a special one-time reward is awarded, please choose between the following options:
|SSS Roulette free spin x1|
|Divine rank cultivation manual x1|
|Divine Nirvana Rune x1| (I know you are a crybaby so just choose the rune and revive your mother so we can continue with our lives).
Reading the last part which Evangeline clearly added to the message he felt a blood vessel popping on his forehead.
"Oi, what do you mean with crybaby, maybe I should just ignore you and die huh?".
Evangeline couldn't hold back her reaction.
"Hahaha, come on I was just trying to break the ice, the third reward is a one-use item that allows the one that owns it to revive someone that hasn't died for more than 12 hours, but you can only use one per year so…".
Daimon didn't let her finish, "Give me the damn rune" he shouted, he didn't know how much time passed when he fainted due to the explosion caused by his mother self-destructing her magic core so he wanted to hurry up.
The screen disappeared and a little gift box appeared in his hand, when he opened, he saw the item, it was a golden medal with a phoenix engraved on it.
"Evangeline, how do I use this thing" he asked.
"Just think on the person you want to revive and the item will do the rest", Daimon nodded but before he did anything he said in a threatening tone.
"This better not be a joke or I swear I will jump from the highest part of the mountain and drag you to hell with me understood?".
Evangeline sighed, "Humph, just use the stupid rune already, your HP is reaching a critical amount".
Daimon did as she told, he closed his eyes and started thinking on his mother while he held the rune in his right hand, after a moment the rune cracked and a magic circle appeared on his hand then he felt something soft but a bit heavy lean against him, he opened hie eyes but his legs gave away because his body was weak right now.
Once he was in the ground, he tried to push away what was above his body but then he heard a weird sound coming from "it".
"Hnnnn ♥", Daimon reacted immediately, he opened his eyes and he froze in the spot, on top of his body he saw a girl of about 14 years old, which looked like a younger version of his mother, but that was not what shocked him but the fact that… she was naked and not only that but his hand was firmly holding one of her bare breasts, he tried to push her away but his vision was blurring due to the loss of blood, then he heard Evangeline laughing at him
"Hahaha, turns out my new host is a mother-con, now hurry up and accept the physical reformation if you don't want to die and leave your mommy alone".
Daimon gritted his teeth before saying.
"Fine I accept the reward, seriously what kind of stupid system are you!!!", a little window with a circle and the number "001 %" was the last thing he saw before his eyes closed, only silence remained for a moment until Evangeline spoke.
"What an interesting host I got, I guess I'll be on guard while the process is completed, pfft although he is quite handsome, he is a pervert hahaha".
And so, time passed, it was almost midday when the "young" girl started moving until her eyes opened, at first, she seemed confused.
*yaawnnnnn ♥", Aisha felt as if she had woken up from a bad dream, her body was a bit stiff so she stretched but then she felt weird.
"Hmm? Why do I feel as if I was nak….", she looked downwards and then she noticed it "why the hell am I not wearing anything!!!" she exclaimed, not only that but she saw her son covered in wounds and using ragged clothes below her and her sword was a few meters away from them which caused her to start panic.
"What the hell is happening, did I become an astray… and attacked my own son, no if that was the case then I would have feast on his blood and he doesn't have any marks on his neck…", Aisha stopped for a second because she felt something pressing against her lower half, her eyes slowly turned downwards and it took her a moment to react.
"Kyaaaaahhh, wh…w…why is it hard, what happened when I was out of my senses!!!!!", while Aisha was going crazy imagining what she might have done to her son when she was out of her mind, Evangeline was laughing her ass at the situation.
"Hahaha, I can't take it, that is just a normal reaction caused by the body reforming but the situation aligned perfectly to cause this kind of misunderstanding, seems like you are quite a "lucky" fellow Daimon hahaha I can't wait to see how will all this turn out when she sees her new body".
To be fair, it wasn't Aisha's fault to misunderstand the situation, her memory was a bit off because she had juts revived a few hours ago and she confused the symptoms with going "astray" a particularity of the vampire race that occurs when they are too hungry and need to drink blood to the point where they lose their rationality and attack whatever is near them.
Of course, this most likely happened to those low rank or half bloods but even a high vampire can suffer from it if they are cornered, although for the later is more like a survival state, something like what happened to Daimon after the manticore hit him, at that moment he finally couldn't hold back all his anger and hatred so he utterly destroyed the head of the beast, while drinking some of its blood in the process.
After a moment Aisha started reconstructing in her mind what she thought it might have happened, "I remember fighting a variant dark manticore I should be dead because I used a self-destruction spell because I had no mana left and that was the only choice, somehow, I managed to survive and then Daimon returned to look for me… I went astray due to my heavy wounds and attacked him or something to heal myself".
The more she thought of it the more guilt she felt, after struggling trying to remember more but not being able to, she could only give up and wait for her son to wake up and explain the situation to her.
*fwosh", Aisha took a deep breath as she said to herself "calm down… what is done is done, for now let's get dressed and look for a place to stay", when she thought about the improvised shelter her son built for her, she felt her heart warm and she couldn't help but smile and caress his face.
"It doesn't matter what those Naktis bastards think of him, he was smart enough to first look for a way to shelter us and… even when facing the manticore he didn't cower nor he tried to run away, humph I can imagine those old farts crying and giving up if they were in his place", then her face turned dead serious.
"Victor I never got along with you but… how dare you try to harm my son, you are dead meat", she then checked to see If her storage ring was on her son's pocket and she was happy, he still had it, she took out some clothes to use, due to her body being covered in dirt, she didn't try to put on any underwear instead she wore a nightgown dress but she noticed that her clothes were too big for her.
Aisha took out a little mirror she had in her ring and when she looked at herself, she froze… "what the hell is going on!!!", she thought.
Needless to say, but Evangeline was watching everything and being amused by the whole situation as if she was watching a movie.
