Chapter 2 - Chapter 2 : System

THROB

'Urgh... What happened?' I woke up and felt an intense pain in my head. My mind right now is heavily fuzzy.

I shake my head several times and picked myself off the ground.

I noticed various types of ingredients lying down on the ground. I collected myself up and calmed my breathing. My breathing was heavy and I didn't notice it because of the confusion.

'Right... I went outside to buy ingredients... When suddenly an old man... !'

Then suddenly, pieces by pieces my memory came to stitch itself whole and made me remember everything what had happened.

'The old man where is he?... He didn't do anything weird to me did he?' I questioned myself as I nervously checked myself from head to toe. Checking every part of my body to make sure that the old man didn't do anything sketchy to my body.

'... Sigh' I sighed. Thankfully the old man didn't do anything to me. That was a really weird experience. And at the same time it didn't felt... real.

This was the weirdest experience I have ever experienced in my entire life. Except for the time when I secretly saw my school adviser doing some weird magic and shit.

'I don't see the old man anywhere did he fled? Well I don't care though. I don't want to get in to more trouble.' Isaac thought.

'Hmm?' Isaac was picking up the ingredients he had dropped due to unknown reasons, when suddenly a sweet ambrosia seeped in to his nose. The smell was so strong, he could imagine that the taste of it will be sweet and delicious.

Not noticing that his fangs grew sharper and his eyes glowing blood red, Isaac looked at the direction where the smell was directed to with a smile on his face fully showing his daggerlike fangs.

'... Sweet' Isaac thought. He inhaled deeply allowing himself to savor it more.

'I want it... '

Isaac positioned himself like he was a runner in the Olympic Games. Veins began to bulge on the surface of his legs, gathering more strength in to his legs and feet.

Instinctively, when Isaac felt that it was more than enough. He kicked the ground turning into a blur and dashed towards the place where the sweet smell was oozing from.

The speed that Isaac exhibited, far exceeded what an B-Rank 'Assassin' hunter could do. And only some of the A-rank and above, could follow his movements.

Isaac bypassed normal people and only went straight towards his destination.

The people that Isaac bypassed and some hunters included, only felt as if an unusual strong winds were hitting their bodies. They felt confused at the occurrence for a second and just shrugged it off like nothing happened.

Arriving at the destination, a dark alley, typical location for robberies, selling drugs and other hideous acts.

Isaac wasn't himself right now, he was in a trancelike state, he have done things that were impossible for him to do. After all he was just a weak ass F-rank hunter that was just slightly better than normal people.

But he didn't questioned it, the things that happened didn't matter to him right now. The only thing in his mind right now was the sweet smell, he wanted a taste of it, and he wanted it now.

What Isaac saw was a skinny old man, munching on some type of flesh, with blood dripping from it.

Isaac immediately knew that the old man in front of him was the old man he met a few seconds, minutes or hours ago.

But the noticeable changes in the old man right now were his sharp fangs, and daggerlike nails. And also the dangerous glowing blood red eyes.

It made Isaac question himself that was this the old man he met earlier. But right away discarded the thought since he was sure that this was the old man he had met.

Isaac was also known for his good memory. That is why he trusted what he had remembered than doubt it.

He could also clearly see two more dead bodies, and on the ground where several narcotics and a huge pile of cash. There was some sort of drug deal going on here before the old man had arrived.

And it was obvious what had happened after he arrived.

Isaac instantly knew that the old man was the one that caused it. And what the old man was munching on was clearly the flesh of the now dead drug dealer.

'Is he some type of hunter that deals with transformation and this was its side effect?... No impossible, I have seen so many news about beastly transformation, the only side effect of it was the risk of going berserk, and not eating human flesh.' Isaac thought. Surprisingly, the gruesome scene in front of him didn't affect him whatsoever. He was unusually cold at the scene in front.

In fact, the scene in front of him made him excited for some reason. And an unbearable thirst began to swell inside his throat.

He was thirsty, really thirsty.

Noticing Isaac's stupor, the old man plunged at Isaac thrusting his daggerlike nails aimed at Isaac's head. The attack was so fast that it seemed to be a blur.

When the attack was about to hit Isaac's head, feeling the sense of danger, Isaac instinctively and instantly cocks his head to the right, avoiding the old man's attack by hairsbreadth.

"Fast and strong!" Isaac surprisingly said. A sinister smile began to form on Isaac's face, fully revealing his sharp fangs. He was amused, amused at the thought of fighting this old man in front of him.

Isaac unconsciously emitted a threatening aura and this made the old man unknowingly step back.

Looking closely at the old man's eyes, Isaac could clearly see that the light of life from the old was no longer there. It felt like he was alive but at the same time he isn't, similarly to a zombie.

Seeing this, Isaac quickly lost interest at the old man. He was kind of... disappointed. He didn't know why but he got disappointed at the state of the old man.

"If only he was sane... Too bad, I think." Isaac said.

Then something happened, Isaac launched an attack, an attack so fast that the old man, with his heightened reflexes and sense of danger, couldn't fully follow the attack. He had simply reacted a little too late. Isaac propelled his clenched fist straight through the old man's head.

Isaac's strengthened fist had enough force to put a hole in a thick piece of hard metal. Now a question arises, what would happen if you exert this kind of force in to an unguarded head?

And the result was quite gruesome, the old man's head popped like a balloon and brain matters splattered all over the place.

The old man's body fell on Isaac's, yet Isaac just stared at the old man while his body slid to the ground. He stared at the old man's body with glowing blood red eyes.

Blood was spilled all over the floor, he couldn't help but stare at the blood in front of him and it made him even more thirsty.

THROB

'Argh... Thirsty! Blood... I need blood!' Isaac had an obsessive urge to drink all the blood in front of him.

Isaac raises his palm up, the second he did this, as if obeying some command, all the blood in front of him floated in the air.

Blood that belonged to the old man, and the three drug dealers.

The blood stayed still in the air forming thousands of little droplets. Isaac formed the palm that he raised into a ball of fist. Then something happened.

All the blood slowly gathered in front of Isaac until it formed in to a sphere like shape. When all the blood have successfully gathered in one place, Isaac opened up his mouth, and blood after blood slowly went inside his mouth, slowly sating his thirst.

Fully sating his thirst, Isaac licked his lips in satisfaction.

TING TING TING TING TING TING TING...

Suddenly, a series of notification sound resounded in his ears.

Following this, Isaac 'woke' up, the past coldness in him was no more. He regained his senses and felt like he just woke up from a strange dream.

[Welcome, Master! Please do call me, Wis.]

'???... ' Question marks started to invisibly appear on Isaac's head. One thing was for sure, Isaac... he, he's so confused right now that he didn't know what to do.

He also remembers everything that have happened, perfectly. He did not miss any single detail. Now that he was 'sane', he took a look at what was in front of him, the blown brain matters of the old man, flesh and guts of three unidentified people.

It was truly a gruesome sight. Isaac felt that something was making its way up out of his mouth. He shifted his body and started vomiting large amounts of food.

He felt great pain inside his stomach, like something was messing up his insides. He vomited once again and held his stomach.

BLEEGGHH

'Haa... haa... Let's first get out of this place and return to the dorm to organize my thoughts.' Isaac wiped his mouth and took deep breathes.

Gathering strength to his legs, veins started to bulge from it, almost to the point of swelling. He then kicked the ground and started to run towards his dorm.

Arriving at his room, he quickly sat down and gathered his thoughts.

It took quite several hours for him to complete his thoughts, confirm what was happening and accept what he had become.

First, and the most obvious one, he had become a Vampire. And not that 'normal' vampire, he was a vampire that had the blood of a progenitor running within his veins. In the eyes of vampires he was basically a baby, a newborn.

Secondly, Isaac asked the 'System' that was that was inside of him, what was the purpose of the old man giving him this power and his motives. The system directly answered him with the will of the old man: The 'creator' wanted master to grow much more stronger and to 'indirectly' fulfill his goal which was to fuck up the Gods. These are the only existing motives the creator had while giving master this power.

Isaac only nodded in satisfaction at the answer, he didn't know why but he simply had this feeling that the system wasn't lying to him.

Thirdly, Isaac now knew, that the Human wasn't the only race out there, there were Vampires, Werewolves and Gods. Also a shocking fact that Vampires and Werewolves have their own world while having settlements here on Earth.

And the Gods, well, they basically are all over the world. There was also a place that the Gods call Olympus. Most of them stays there.

As a person who have read many novels, and have watched many movies such as fantasy, vampires and such. He came to easily accept all of this.

After all, there were humans who casts magic, transform, fly, you name it and there were also the existence of monsters. So knowing that there are also vampires, werewolves and gods, it didn't came to a big surprise to him anymore.

Knowing that there are now more variables, Isaac couldn't help but worry. The first thing in his mind right now was the safety of him and his family. So what he wanted right now was to get stronger.

"System, I can get stronger right?" Isaac asked.

[Please call me Wis, master. As for your question, yes you can master.] Wis replied in a female voice.

"Hmm... Okay" Isaac nodded at the answer. "In terms of my rank as a hunter what rank am I?"

[Calculating... Calculation Completed. In terms of ranks, the moment master turned into a vampire, master easily surpassed B-rank standards. After killing my weakened creator and absorbing his blood, master also absorbed some of his stats, master have accumulated enough points to enter S-rank.]

"Points? What is that?"

[Would master like to view your 'Status Window'?]

"Status Window? Is this like a game or something?" Isaac questioned. The moment he thought of the status window, a game like interface appeared in front of him.

"Wah!" Isaac exclaimed at the sudden occurrence causing him to fall from his chair.

Isaac picked himself up off the ground and sat once again. He calmed himself and started organize his thoughts once again, because of the new knowledge he acquired about the world or worlds perhaps, he forgot things that are important.

"System, what are you and what is your purpose?" Isaac asked in a serious tone, he couldn't help but stare fiercely at the air or more like the game like interface in front of him.
