Ding!«[The Prince of Darkness is irritated by your reaction towards him]»
" Crap!, Uhh Sir am deeply sorry, I didn't mean it like that, it's just that your incredible reputation precedes you that's all" Chinonso quickly apologized with a forced smile etched on his lips.
He'd just gotten one follower, losing him wasn't something he was willing to let happen, since that was the case he decided to keep all his thoughts to himself from now on lest he said something he shouldn't have.
* * * * *
" Uhh.....Ebube, Why's Chinonso talking towards the sky like that?" Zara turned her head behind her to look at Chinonso, on seeing his strange actions the stunning black crocodile felt at a loss of what to think.
" And How am I supposed to know " Ebube waved his right paw tiredly at her, The black wolf lay'd belly down on the ground right next to the lake, he was too lazy to even bother turning around to take look.
" ....But aren't you the one who said his an expert earlier " Zara chided him, her beast like reptilian eye's glaring coldly at him.
Feeling her cold gaze Ebube reluctantly raised his head to look at the black scorpion in the distance.
" You shouldn't worry much" He waved his paw at her to calm down.
" The reason his acting like that probably has something to do with his system or something" he said before laying back down.
" You sure?" Zara asked, her voice was hesitant showing that she was still feeling a bit skeptical and worried.
" Of course!, Am an expert on these sorts of things afterall aren't I" Ebube reassured her though he didn't bother doing anything else besides continuing to lounge around with his eye's shut.
' ...more like a cocky dog with nothing better to do' The black crocodile rolled her eyes at him before focusing her attention elsewhere.

"My Lord It's only natural I'd feel a bit hesitant since my first follower turned out to be the Great Prince of Darkness, The son of the Dragon, The greatest prince Transylvania has ever had the honor of having" Chinonso tried pleading with the prince of darkness.
"The one and only Count Dracula!" He added.
"With such a reputation of course everyone would be left speechless on receiving your aid" On one hand Chinonso wasn't really lying, though the name Dracula was far more known in the west, it didn't mean that no one in the east hadn't heard of his great legend.
As one of the most iconic legends known to man and the first ever inspiration for the popular vampire genre that's known around most of the world if not all, The legend of Count Dracula, Vlad the impaler and Son of the Dragon was one that sent a wave of awe and reverence into the hearts of many.
Ding!«[The Prince of Darkness finds your argument compelling]»
Ding!«[The Prince of Darkness reluctantly accepts your apology]»
" Thank God" Chinonso sighed with relief.
Ding!«[The Prince of Darkness has decided to allow you to pick from two of his Evolutionary Abilities]»
Ding!«[Do you accept (Yes/No) ]»
'Of course I'd accept!, only an idiot would miss this chance!' Chinonso felt elated on hearing this, without hesitation he quickly clicked on Yes.
Ding!«[Abilities have been added to the player's evolutionary ability tree, waiting to be unlocked]»
" Hahaha nice!, Now that's what am talking about!"
" System Assistant, Quickly Show me the Evolutionary abilities tree"
«[As you wish my Liege^^]»

«{Evolutionary Abilities}»
----------------------------------------------------------------
[1] Transformation: Allows the host to change size, shape and colour as well.
Price: 10 EP
[2] Blood Manipulation: Allows the Player to manipulate any form of blood in the vicinity, usage varies due to distance and size of said blood.
Price: 20 EP
* * * * * *
" Hmmm....., both are really great abilities to have but I can't really delve on this matter for long, what's most important is one that allows me to increase my strength the fastest.." After staring intently at the two skills, Chinonso finally came to a decisive decision after a while of pondering.
" I shouldn't waste Sir Dracula's Gift, Since his willing to help me get stronger it's only natural I pick his most Iconic ability, Blood Manipulation!"
Ding!«[The Prince of Darkness is extremely pleased with your decision!]»
Ding!«[The Prince of Darkness commends you on your wise decision and has decided to Gift you The transformation ability as well]»
Ding!«[The Transformation ability has been saved to your Evolutionary Tree, Currently awaiting to be purchased]»
"Hahahahaha thank you Sir!, I'll be sure to forever remember this great act of kindness!" Chinonso quickly thanked the Dark prince with genuine gratification, his pincers clenched firmly as his eye's burned with determination.
"System use all my 20 Evolution Points to purchase the skill Blood Manipulation"
«[Understood My Liege^^]»
Ding!«[Using all 20 points to purchase the Ability "Blood Manipulation"]»
Immediately he heard that notification, Chinonso felt a strange current flowing through his body, his cells seemed to have become far more active, his blood felt as if it was boiling uncontrollably which made Chinonso fell a lot of discomfort but even then he decided to perceiver on.
A few seconds later a new notification appeared before his eyes.
Ding!«[Purchase successful!]»
* * * * * *
"....Now how does this thing work anyway?, ..." Chinonso pondered on how to use his new ability.
"I've read about characters in novels easily using their abilities to battle but now that am the one in question..... reading and doing are two completely different things" he finally realized that the only edge he had as a novel reader was really just the basics like which abilities countered which or just what ability was far more better than the other.
'Hey Assistant, got any clues on how to use this thing ' Chinonso asked hoping for an answer.
«[It's pretty simple my Liege, using an ability depends on ones consciousness, All you have to do is focus an envision just what that ability is capable of doing]»
«[Since it's Blood manipulation all you have to do is first find a blood deposit then envision that blood moving around to your desired form or direction]»
'...First I have to find ablood deposit huh?' Chinonso thought, his eyes unconsciously landed on a particular black furred silhouette in the distance.
A cruel smile blossomed on his carapace covered face, his eye's glowing dangerously.
