While he was interested in understanding everything, Bernard was rather having a bit of a hard time digesting all these various information at the same time, he seem to have suddenly turned superhuman after experiencing his first evolution.
His eyes roam around the different abilities and skills in the panel, and he could see the series of level 1 each ability and skill had, however, what caught his attention the most were the numerous locked' which extended downwards.
'Does this eventually make me the protagonist of this world?' Bernard chuckled to himself, a bit astounded by his own thoughts.
'But wait, apart from a few abilities and skills, everything else seems to be locked if my guess is correct. Either my level isn't sufficient enough or I would probably unlock them as I grow stronger.
'While I might not be a game freak on earth, I can still make out a rough idea about dash and immunity to some large extent since they are self-explained. However, what about bloodline Thief?' Bernard was once again on square one of pondering some of the uses of this ability, just as he was wondering what it could be. Suddenly some hidden information gradually unfolded in each ability and skill.

Bernard squinted his eyes, as they roam around the information currently displayed on the system, the more he looked the more he squinted his eyes in suspicion and doubt.
'This is legit right?' Even though he thought like this in his heart, he still gladly accepted the abilities, since anything that would make him stronger he was willing to accept.
He noticed that, apart from those locked, the rest gave out little details according to their functions.
He stared at them for a while, with his eyes lingering on them for some time as he thought about his null attribute.
'I guess with time, it will surely be active.' Bernard thought squinting his itchy eyes, before putting that thought at the back of his mind.
After sorting his thoughts out, Bernard decided to move on to the next skills, no rather than calling both skills, it was much better to call one ability and the other skill.
His eyes soon narrowed down to the two skills and abilities, upon reading the information beneath them, his eyes began to widen and his heart began to pound.
'What ?' Bernard almost couldn't believe what was written on the panel.
'Does this mean I could create attacks with my blood and also steal other symbiote user abilities?' Bernard thought in disbelief, wouldn't that make me simply overpowered?
'Could this be a glitch from the system?' He thought in disbelief, wondering if this was a dream or a glitch, after all, they were basically too good to be true.
'How much enhancement did this evolution bring?' Bernard subconsciously stood up and dusted himself.
At this moment he was thinking about how to put these two skills and abilities into good use without harming any innocent person, he suddenly remembered those second-year students the smug looks and the disgust they had in their eyes when they looked at him, even one had called him trash.
How powerful would I be, if I began stealing symbiote bloodline abilities? He didn't know nor was he able to fathom such thought but he knew overpowered was an understatement.
'If this is as legit as it says then…' Bernard paused for a split moment, a palpable look of insanity could be seen in his eyes.
'Wait hold on, maybe I am getting over excited.' Bernard thought as he pranced around the area.' How do I confirm if this is legit or not?'
[Your desire has been acknowledged]
[You have received a main Quest in accordance with your hidden desire]
[Drink the blood of your victim to steal their symbiote bloodline]
'Huh?' Bernard was astounded as he stared at the notifications messages, that suddenly appear in front of him. He could barely comprehend what he was seeing in front of him. After reading the last message among the notification was Bernard sure of one thing he had become a vampire.
'How..did I become a vampire?' Bernard thought to himself.
Beside him, he could see a figure still laying on the ground unconscious, at this moment no matter how much he tried to ignore Dave he realize there was just something attractive about him.
He was attracted, not by Dave's looks or body but by something else that was currently flowing inside of him, pulsing and coursing through every vein of his.
Bernard was not sure what was wrong with him, but he knew he was sure of one thing he was a straight guy and was sure of his preferences. However, there was one thing that would make him ignorant about genders, which was being a vampire and the truth was right in front of him and staring at him.
From the short encounter he had with vampires' fantasy, they drank the blood of any victim regardless of the person being a male or female even race, they only cared about blood and wouldn't bother about discrimination.
At this moment he was left confused, it was the perfect opportunity to do as he pleases yet he felt a bit lost. Standing so close to Dave, he could hear his organ called the heart beating fast.
