The next day, William woke up in a daze, his face nestled against two soft mounds. As he instinctively grabbed them, he thought, "This feels like... boobs... wait, boobs!"
He jolted awake, quickly sitting up, his heart racing. The sight before him made his eyes widen—lying beside him, in all her naked glory, was the silver-haired woman he had summoned last night. Her long, flowing hair cascaded over the pillows, and her pale, flawless skin seemed to almost glow in the morning light.
"So, it wasn't just some wet dream?" William mumbled, staring at her in disbelief, his mind racing to piece together the events of the previous night. Her serene expression and the subtle rise and fall of her chest indicated she was still asleep.
Sera, why am I sleeping with her? he asked mentally, trying to remain calm despite the situation.
[Well, she picked you up like a baby and cuddled you to sleep,] Sera replied, her voice tinged with amusement.
Hmm, well, what are her status screen? William asked, eager to shift focus and regain his composure.
[Don't worry, I'm not going to tease you or anything,] Sera giggled, sensing his unease.
Well, I doubt that, William thought, bracing himself for whatever revelation was about to come.
In response, Sera displayed Myre's status screen in his mind's eye, the information appearing as though written on an ethereal scroll:
[Myre Bloodborne]
[Race]: Royal Vampire
[Title]: Vampire Queen of Lust
[Age]: 1000+
[Realm]: Transcend Tier 28
[Talent]: Blood Rose (Divine)
[Skills]: Night Assassination (S), Stealth (S), Blood Domination (SSS), Blood Queen (S+)
William stared at the status screen, his mind whirling. A Transcend Tier 28? And a Divine Talent? He knew immediately that he had summoned no ordinary servant—this was a being of immense power, far beyond what he had anticipated.
Myre stirred slightly beside him, her eyelids fluttering as she slowly awoke. Her red eyes, the color of freshly spilled blood, locked onto his, and a seductive smile curved her lips. "Good morning, Master," she purred, her voice as smooth as silk. "Did you sleep well?"
William gulped, realizing that the playful, teasing tone of her words belied the dangerous power she held. The collar around her neck glimmered faintly, a reminder that despite her immense strength, she was bound to him, at least for now.
"Y-Yes," William stammered, trying to collect himself. I need to figure out how to handle this situation... and fast.
In this world, the power levels are divided into Realms. The first Realm is called the Realm of Mortals, divided into 30 stages from Tier 1 to Tier 30. Then comes the Transcend Stage, divided into 50 stages, and Myre is at the 28th stage of the Transcend Realm.
[Yeah, I was also wondering at first how you summoned such a powerful one,] Sera nodded and said.
[But then I saw your Sila and understood. Your Sila is filled with Chronos and Soul essence, making your Sila highly sought after by beings of her power, as it can help them level up faster,] Sera explained, and William nodded.
At that moment, maids entered. "Prince, it's time to get read... Who is she?" one of the maids asked, noticing the naked Myre.
Myre playfully waved at them.
"She's supposed to be my summon. I summoned her last night," William answered truthfully, unsure of how else to explain.
The maids looked at the Prince and then at Myre, shaking their heads as they said, "Prince, you are too young for this."
"What do you mean, I'm too young for this? I can't summon now at my age?" William asked with innocent eyes.
One advantage of being a kid: you can act cute and get away with it, William thought inwardly.
The maids' eyes lit up at his cute face, which was too much for them. One of them stepped forward, hugged him, and glared at Myre as if she were tainting their cute prince.
"Yes, my prince, you are too weak to summon such... indecent things. You should be learning how to control your Sila and learning other necessary skills, not playing with your talent," the maid said as they carried him to the bathroom.
They washed him there and then got him ready for the day.
Myre, on the other hand, stretched, highlighting her seductive curves—a sight to savor, but unfortunately, no one was there. She just snapped her fingers, and a red dress formed around her.
She swayed her hips as she went after William, who was sitting on a dog and running in the hall.
Soon, they reached the library.
"You're here," Lumia said, hugging William as she put him on her lap. "Why don't you show me your progress?" she asked.
William nodded, and then he began to show her. By moving his Sila, it coursed around his body before concentrating in his hand. He outstretched it, and it came out of him, forming a cloudy gas of two colors—Violet and White.
The two colors took up unequal portions of the cloud, with Violet covering over 80%.
"Hmm, it seems your innate Talent is very strong," Lumia smiled as she looked at the cloud's composition.
"What do you mean, Mother?" William asked.
Lumia smiled and then pointed at the cloud in his hand. "You see, everyone's Sila is colorless until they awaken their talent."
"And talent determines the color of Sila; it's also how we grade them."
"How much of Sila is converted to that essence is how we mark them. If one awakens a Supreme talent, their Sila would be 100% converted. If one awakens a Divine grade, then it's only 80%, and so on. Conversion of Sila is important because transparent Sila is pure. Even if you attack someone with it, it won't harm them. But if you add your essence into it, then it can harm them," Lumia explained.
"But why is that?" William asked.
"Because all of us are made of Pure Sila, so it won't harm us; it just gets mixed with us," she replied.
"Converted Sila, however, is unique to everyone, so it harms you because it isn't the same composition as ours," Lumia said.
"It's like water of the same temperature mixing and simply increasing in volume. But if you add an ice cube to hot water, then both of them will harm each other. If the ice is powerful, it will freeze the rest of the water, but if the hot water is powerful, it will melt the ice," she said, and William nodded.
