Chapter 112 System To Growth
Chapter 112 System To Growth
The day passed without anything major occurring.
All the humans were given houses to live in, but for some reason, my house is a little more lavish than the others. I guess they gave special treatment to the leaderboard humans. My residence was a little townhouse with a living room, kitchen, bathroom, toilet and bedroom. It was quite nice, especially the fact that I didn't have to share it with anyone else.
It was getting pretty late.
I had sent my Minions out early in the morning on expeditions as normal. I hoped that the vampires wouldn't see them as a threat or as food so they'd be able to work without issue. It was around time for them to return so I was interested to see if anything had happened.
I took a seat on the couch and looked up at the roof.
I hadn't really thought about it for a while now.
But despite how bad my life was, there was still one person who I missed.
I wonder where my sister was~
When I was young, I was kicked out, living my life in an experimental facility and then a boarding school. I didn't get to interact much with my family, but there were still a few distinct memories, and especially, a single truly good memory.
It seemed that Mayuri hasn't taken it.
For the most part, Mayuri seemed to only be taking my bad memories, which was kind of her; well if she was doing it on purpose. Then again, they were the majority of my memories anyways.
A few moments later, my Minion Manager opened the door.

The moment I collected the items, my experience bar filled rapidly once again. I was able to progress to the next level of my Shadow Hunter System.

It seemed that the experience requirement for levelling up wasn't increasing as quickly as before. The threshold had only increased by 50, I guess it's so it wouldn't be impossible to keep levelling up, although such design seemed distinctly... deliberate.
Whatever the case, my Soul Mark had increased in strength.
-
<Soul Mark>
Strength Amplification: 250%
Speed Amplification: 250%
-
I guess I was stronger and faster again.
As I looked at my Shadow Hunter System again, I noticed that I could still level up.
-
[Shadow Reality]
<Experience> 715/700 (READY)
p
From what I could see, the threshold was only increasing by 50 each time, as a result, I should be able to keep up this momentum in terms of levelling up.

A brief moment later, descriptions of all of my abilities appeared.
[Regeneration Blocker reduces the speed of regeneration in nearby vampires. The ability is passive and does not need to be turned on. Conversely, the ability also cannot be turned off. This ability stacks with nearby Shadow Hunters who have the ability.]
[All-knowing World shows you the rank (None, Baron, Viscount, Earl, Marquee, Duke or Progenitor) of any vampire you see. It will also show you the % of blood still in their body (Once a vampire drops below 10% blood, they will be extremely weak).]
[Anti-Vampire Resilience means you are immune to any passive vampire manipulation and also to blood manipulation from progenitors.]
To be honest, I had more questions than answers.
Apparently, vampires are ranked like royalty? I assumed that if the [All-knowing World] ability showed ranks, they must be ranked on strength. I wonder what that white-haired vampire was ranked... he was strong. It would be useful for me to go outside and gauge the strength of the vampires at some time.
Aside from that, what was passive vampire manipulation...? I don't think I've come into contact with anything of that nature yet...
Well, it was nice to have these abilities for the next time I'd have to fight a vampire.
I wanted to go and improve my sword skills. My Minions were capable of passively gathering resources without any input from me, meaning it'd be worthwhile for me to improve my physical ability in the meantime. I assumed that there should be some elves with good swordsmanship who I could learn from.
The elves seemed to have a much better grasp of technology and skills than we did. From what I heard from Elrich about his sister, there should be elves with very good control of combat.
Hold on...
Elrich's sister...
I'm sure I could manipulate her if I used Elrich's name.
Well, there's my plan for tomorrow.

As I organised the rest of my Minions, I decided to head upstairs and get some sleep.
It was the first time in a long time that I got to sleep in a proper bed.
I got to feel the soft blanket, the squishy mattress, the warm embrace, it was truly heartwarming. As I huddled up and tucked myself in, I slowly fell asleep, feeling the safest I had felt in a long time.
I got the best sleep I had ever gotten.
***
I was awoken by nothing... absolutely nothing.
As my eyes slowly consumed the light from the window, I heard the faint sound of birds chirping in the distance. I looked outside and watched the leaves sway on the tree which was by the side of the house. For the first time in a long time, I actually felt calm.
However, I had things I needed to do.
I got up and made my way outside. I decided to send my Minions out on their expeditions for the day. I wanted to continue levelling up my Shadow Hunter System as much as possible. I assumed that it wouldn't be too long before we would be at all-out war with the vampires.
I walked around the street, having a look at the elven city, it was honestly amazing in comparison to everything that the humans had made up until this point.
