I open my eyes and get out of bed. And use 1 and a half hours before going down to eat. 70% of that time is taking care of my wings. 20% staring in the mirror and the other 10% is the other stuff.
I open the fridge and find that the blood dad requested has come. "You have enough for three of those blood bottles a day. Each contains 30 milliliters. It's the same as a vampire gets. And I will accompany you in the dungeon today" Dad says.
"Thanks for the blood dad, but aren't I good enough to hunt on my own?"
"You are fresh and only been three times. I and your mom likes to be on the safe side"
"Thanks dad"
This blood taste good I think as I drink it. It's really refreshing. If I ever kidnap someone I should lock them in a freezer so I can drink their blood cold.
"If you are ready I thought we could leave in half an hour" dad says.
-Half an hour and a car ride later. And some time in the dungeon-
I look down on my first prey today.
[Dire bear lvl 12]
I create two daggers and use fire coat. Wow the red burning daggers look so cool. I make myself ready and shoot myself off the branch.
The bear doesn't notice me and I get a free hit. That free hit ends with both my daggers in its head and the bear falling to the ground never to raise again. On its own anyway.
The fire coat sure is useful. It was a little less resistance, but even if it didn't go all the way in, the bear would still suffer from burn damage.
[You have killed a dire bear lvl 12]
[Blood weapons have reached lvl 2]
[The daggers now is easier to throw]
Yes! I didn't get any new weapons but this is good in itself.
I make a dagger and get surprised when I realize that they now only take two thirds of the blood they did before.
I think the best now would be to level up blood feathers.
Let's start smelling the air again or should I try training my throwing ability. I know, why not train throwing daggers and blood frater at the same time. Yes, let's do that.
I stand on the branch and start throwing knives and using blood feathers. Aiming on a spot on the trunk.
After a short while I get super bored and I don't see much progress.
It's so boring aiming at nothing but a mark on a trunk.
Then an idea appears in my mind and a grin on my face. I collect some wines and start running towards a rabbit.
[Horned rabbit level 4]
Perfekt. I attack it and knock it unconscious. Then I take it with me to a branch so no one on the ground can interrupt us. I bind the rabbit on the trunk and try to wake it up. Once it wakes up and I'm sure it can't escape, I make some distance and start throwing daggers and shooting feathers on it. At first the rabbit looked furious at me, but after realizing that it could get hit and hurt any moment that anger turned into fear. That gaze full of fear it sends me is exciting. It gives me such a good feeling of superiority and I can't wait to see the pain it shows when I hit it.
I haven't hit one time yet , but I have been close. I throw a dagger and hit it in the foot. Yes. The feeling of finally hitting and the scream plus its expression is priceless. I want to hit it again. Lets increase the distance.
When I start increasing the distance dad suddenly shows up.
"Hey I noticed your life signature didn't move on a while so I just came to check on you. Seems like you are trai, HOLY SHIT! That's a lot of blood daggers and feathers. Are you alright" He comes close, puts his and on my forehead and do some magic stuff.
"What are you talking about?"
"Your temperature seems ok, you aren't pale and it doesn't seem to be anything wrong with your health. You have used so much blood skills. Your body should have lost so much blood from that. How are you still ok?"
"My blood just regenerates that fast. My body in general regenerates fast, but my blood faster. Probably because I'm a blood phoenix. Like a fire phoenix can shoot unlimited or almost unlimited fire I can probably do the same with blood" I say.
"That regeneration of yours is kinda scary, and what's with that rabbit?" he asks
"It was boring to just aim at the three so I figured I should aim at something else"
"But are you ok aiming at a rabbit that most find cute? And what about its painful and frightened expression?"
"Its pained and frightful expression is what makes all of this so exciting. Don't you feel the excitement of being in control of another's life and knowing with one good hit you will cause it pain or death. Don't you feel the excitement when it shows it frightfullnes that shows your superiority over it and all you can do with it?"
"Sophia I don't like the grin you are showing and I think what you are describing are sadism"
"Hey, I'm not a sadist" I'm not totally convinced by my own sentence.
[Title gained: sadist]
"Never mind" I say.
"You just gained a title didn't you?"
"Yes" I feel defeated.
"If you have become a sadist then there's nothing I can do about it. Just try to control yourself when you are with other people"
"Ok dad"
"And good idea training on your throwing and aiming skill by the way. I'm going to roam around nearby"
"OK, bye dad" I say and continue on throwing on the rabbit.
I breathe in and out. Aiming at the head and throw. I hit a few cm to the left.
[Passive skill gained: throwing]
[Throwing: increases accuracy and damage of throwing and some ranged abilities in close range]
Yes, finally a skill to help me.
I immediately noticed that my throwing is better. After testing that blood feathers are affected at close range I test the rang and find it to be 12 meters.
I stop at 12 meters and throw the daggers and shoot the feathers.
-18 minutes later-
I shoot blood feathers and hit with three feathers. One in the right leg, one in the stomach and the last in the eye.
[You have killed a horned rabbit lvl 5]
[Blood feathers have reached lvl 2]
"Awww, it died. But I also raised the skill level of blood feathers. Let's find a new rabbit. But before that lets try blood feathers"
When I used the skill it shot 6 instead of 4 and the speed was a little faster. Now let's find myself a rabbit.
It wasn't hard to catch a new rabbit and bind it.
—
I spent three days doing this in the dungeon. I ended up raising my skills quite a bit.
[Throwing has reached level 3]
[Blood weapons has reached level 3]
[You can now create blood short sword and blood knuckles]
[Blood feathers has reached level 3]
Because both blood feathers and blood daggers are affected by throwing it leveled up faster than the others kills. I also noticed that the range that it affected blood feathers increased by 1 meter every level. So I could stand 14 meters and train at the end.
When I leveled up blood weapons I could create a short sword, knuckles with spikes on them and the daggers used less blood.
The blood feathers increased by 2 going from 6 to 8. They also do more damage, cost less blood per feather and travel faster.
After using the rabbits for target the whole time something interesting happened.
[Title sadist upgraded to greater sadist]
[After terrorizing 36 rabbits with sadistic acts a upgrade is granted to the title greater sadist: when a target is considered prey for hosts sadistic nature an amount of fear is inflicted upon them. The amount will increase if the host inflicts fear upon different speeches with sadistic acts]
[Title greater sadist upgraded to sadistic terror]
For the next three days I spend time training my smell. Trying to find out if I can know their level by the strength of the smell. After finding the monster I smelled and checking its level I moved on to the next without attacking it. After these three days I know what level anyone from lvl 1 to 5 levels above my own is from the smell alone.
-Next day-
It's Saturday and I'm packing my stuff. I'm leaving for the academy tomorrow.
The rest of the day I spent with mom and dad. My siblings are also attending the academy. So I will meet them there. It's my brother's last year. The fifth year.
After spending my time with my family and having packed everything, I go to bed. Excited for tomorrow.
