[System notification!]
[Achievement unlocked.]
[System is undergoing an update.]
[Estimated time: 8 hours.]
"What an update?" I mused. "What about my reward for turning Aro into a vampire?"
No response came from the system.
"Guess I'll have to wait until morning. Hopefully, Aro will have completed his transition by then."With that thought, I went to sleep.
The Next Morning,
I received news that Aro had successfully transformed and was currently with Klaus, who was keeping a close eye on him to ensure he didn't lose control while feeding and harm anyone.
When I met Aro, he was beaming with joy, having discovered his powers of mind reading through touch, just like in the series. However, another problem arose: with so many vampires in the castle—excluding Aurora, Evelyn, and Finn, who had consumed the blood apple—the prisoners wouldn't last long. I couldn't keep distributing apples to everyone; they would start questioning the source.
[Update complete.]
[Would host like to view the changes after the update?]
"Yes, and it would help if you could give me my rewards."
[Update list:]
1. New stat screen
2. Mundane skills will no longer be visible in the status tab but can be viewed in the skills tab.
3. Inventory cannot be seen from the stat screen and is now accessible by thinking of it.
4. Elementary and Intermediate gacha have been eliminated.
5. Novice period has been lifted and system will no longer grant Gifts for Partners on reaching 9 Hearts.
[Would host like to receive rewards for achievement and task?]
"Of course, I want that."
[Achievement unlocked: Create a New Species.]
[Reward: Legendary Perk: Creator, a random rare item card.]
[System task completed: Turn Aro Volturi into a Cold One.]
[Rewards: Legendary item: Soul Magic Codex.]
"Give me the Discription of the rewards"
[Legendary Perk: Creator: You are now a creator of new species.
1. You can now use the abilities of your creations.
2. The one who can create can also destroy you can kill even the strongest of your creation with ease.
3. Master any craft-related skill easily.]
[Random Item Card: You will receive a random rare item from Gacha.]
[Soul Magic Codex: Contains theories and laws of souls, explaining how they work. Any question about souls will be answered here.]
The rewards were extremely valuable; both the perk and the magic codex were legendary-grade items. The Creator perk granted me the ability to use the powers of my creations, meaning I could harness the unique abilities of the Cold Ones I had just created.
While this was advantageous, it felt a bit awkward since every ability they awakened was merely an extension of my psychic and warlock abilities—powers I would have eventually accessed on my own. The Soul Magic Codex was akin to the Blood Magic Codex: no spells were written, but it contained enough knowledge for a genius to create their own spells quickly.
I hoped to figure out how to harness pure soul power to strengthen my own soul and become a more formidable psychic.
"System Novice period lifted means you will no longer Give Exclusive Gifts for my girls."
[Yes , those gifts were granted because Host would not have been able to afford any good items and would instead end up dead.]
Oh! , seems about right but it doesn't matter anymore I can now afford to take care of them Myself.
"Now, let's see the new status screen."

"The changes in the stat screen are Good. It removed the horrific layout of Dungeons and Dragons, simplifying everything into Constitution, which improves my strength, speed, and dexterity all around."
"System, use the random rare item card."
[Congratulations! You have received the Labonair Werewolf Bloodline.]
I sighed in frustration. "A werewolf bloodline? Of all the rare items I could have gotten, this feels worthless. It's one of the cheapest rare grades. I would have preferred a rare spell instead."
As I contemplated the use of this bloodline, I remembered that Hayley Marshall belonged to the Labonair bloodline, meaning Hope was also part of it. This gave me an idea: if I could use this bloodline on Celene and then turn her into a vampire, it might lower the cost of transforming her into a hybrid.
I weighed my options. The easier route would be to siphon Klaus's curse first. Once I lifted it, I could likely turn others into hybrids. After that, I could use his blood to Celene, and just like that, she'd become a hybrid.
But I will not do it for free, he has to pay the price for it I am not going to waste a bloodline stone for free and it's a expensive option or he could just turn her into normal vampire.
However, the more expensive option depended entirely on Klaus. I would have him take a blood oath—a spell I created myself after studying the Blood Magic Codex .
This oath would bind him to his promise, and if he failed to fulfill it, there would be severe consequences.
Now it was a matter of convincing Klaus and determining what price he was willing to pay.
