Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 273: The reasons (2)

"You should not look down on this issue. You should look for your wife as soon as possible so that you can lighten that in you because if you lost control last night, it means that you can't take it too much anymore."

"You should keep in mind that our trainings are done with blood, which causes it to be harder to endure. My father has always said that blood is a propellant of those feelings, and that's what makes it harder. But I don't know if there's anything else besides that."

She took the trouble to explain everything in detail so Matt would have no doubts. She was surprised that he didn't know, but when she remembered that he didn't have too many memories, she could understand what was happening.

In short, the vampiric nature is a problem for a man who believes and relies on monogamy to exist. The greatest danger of this lies in the fact that if he loses control for some reason, he will turn into a beast.

And there was one topic that Alice initially didn't want to tell him, but in the end realized she had to say to him.

"...Maybe you once heard of the destruction of a city near the Academy, do you remember? The fear Vanessa felt when she mentioned my Clan..." She said, talking about two slightly different topics but somehow related.

Matt frowned. "Did any of your Clan ever lose control?" he asked doubtfully, and Alice smiled.

Somehow, her smile didn't look happy at all. There even seemed to be misery in it.

"No. My Clan actually fell victim to a man who lost control."

"It happened more than 300 years ago. My father was not the leader of the Clan at that time; he was still an Heir, and my grandfather was exercising command. At that time, my father had his first daughter. Alice was her name. My father says she was very talented as a child, but she liked to travel at large.

While doing so, one of the leaders of a powerful City that existed at the time lost control when he saw her and raped her to the point of killing her."

"The rest... That's history. My father could not stand the wrath and completely wiped out the city, exterminating an entire growing Clan. It was one of the strongest cities around and received the protection of a Vampiric Clan, so the man never thought he would receive consequences of such magnitudes. In the end, the whole city was exterminated and the man's entire family as well."

"No one said anything to condemn the Allen Clan because they acted in self-defense." Her words were clear that no one would side with a man who raped someone else because he lost control.

The vampire world does not believe that monogamy is a bad thing. Many practice it, and in some ways, they do well. Although most are weak because the more power, the harder it is to control that, that doesn't take away from the fact that they do well. Also, there is a possibility that if a powerful man has a woman capable of enduring long enough in sexual relations, then monogamy could work.

However, no one has proven it so far.

But this requires a woman who is at least as strong as the man, which is hard to find. After all, most strong women already have husbands, and a higher percentage of men are at the top of the pyramid.

An example is Gray Allen's first wife, Alice's mother. At one time, she was one of the most desired women in the world, and even humans wanted her. But she was so strong and said she would only accept a man stronger than her that, in the end, she ended up in Gray's hands.

Matt frowned as he heard this.

'I see, now it makes sense. That was why I couldn't react until something brought me back to reality...'

If he thought about it carefully, it made sense. Blood meets the characteristics of anything that could be considered out of control, and he realized this recently, especially when blood is allowed to get out of control. In fact, the root of most boundary-breaking abilities is always blood.

'The berserkers of earth also had their root in blood and consumed blood...'

Still, this time, it shouldn't be permanently so. Because we are not talking about an ability but a race. With everything Matt knows so far about the Path of Control, he's sure there are ways to resist that savagery. Advancing on the Path of Control must be one of them, but he still feels there's more to it.

He looked at Alice. "Don't they have a way around something like that?" he asked.

"There is a way."

"What is it?" The interest on Matt's face was evident.

"Let aging hit you. Once you get old, you don't need to do this. My grandfather did it, and he doesn't feel those needs anymore, so there's no way for him to lose control."

Matt gasped when he heard this.

'Shit... They want me to let my little brother die? It makes sense, but...' Matt put his hand to his forehead with some embarrassment.

Not because he was drunk would he do something like that.

So he scoffed at himself and stopped thinking nonsense.

"I understand, Alice. Thanks for explaining." He replied

Alice nodded to him several times. "I'm sorry for not explaining it sooner. It's basic knowledge, so I thought you would know, but I forgot about your amnesia... I'm sorry. Also, I'll stop doing the things I've been doing so it won't affect you. Don't worry."

"But there is still something else. The reason why there are more women than men... Why is it so?" he asked.

"That... I know it has something to do with what I've told you because the researchers say so, but I'm not quite sure. They say it's possible that it's because men instinctively long for there to be more women in the world, and when they want to have sons, they long for it so much that they end up having daughters."

"You mean there is some kind of mental power in that regard?"

"That's what many researchers say.

But my mother told me it's because vampire blood is cold, and when it mixes with the vampiric power, sexual energy, and Yin energy of women, which are cold attribute energies in a body of a woman, there's more likelihood of more women coming out, even more so if the woman has her first time very close to getting pregnant because that's when more of that kind of cold energy gathers inside her."

"That's supported by the general history of the vampire race: the vast majority of firstborns have been female. So, I think this is the most viable option."

As Alice said this, she also pulled out one more book to show Matt. The book described that information and much more, which is common knowledge in high society.
