Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Matt and Alice returned to the room in silence.

The root of the silence was because Matt seemed a little upset or stressed, it was so evident that Alice didn't say anything to avoid upsetting him.

Still, this worried her somehow.

'I didn't think failing would affect him so much... It seems like failing is associated with something different.' She thought as she saw him enter the room quietly.

She sighed a little after seeing him like that. She also noticed that he was too thoughtful. Maybe he was trying to understand something inside him. Still, she didn't want to leave him alone.

So she stepped forward quickly after closing the door and hugged him from behind, pulling Matt out of his thoughts.

She hugged him tightly, perhaps because she wanted him to understand that she was here.

"Failing is okay. You've told me several times that whenever you fail, it's time to pick yourself up, and that was okay. But it's wrong to stress too much with something like this. You should know that there are things we can't control, even if we are present in the moment," she said softly.

Her words made Matt a little surprised. 'Things we can't control, even if we are present, huh.' He thought a little.

It was a bit like what had happened to him this time.

All the annoyance and anger he had right now were directed exclusively at him. And he didn't even know why; he was just annoyed with himself for having a problem like that. Besides, those tests told him that he had to let go of a lot of what he thought was 'himself' to pass them.

A realized personality is not formulated overnight; its meaning is more profound than it appears, which he could understand in this short period. The realized personality is molded over time, and the decisions he makes throughout his experiences and many of the decisions he made in his past life are the ones that caused him to be in this dilemma now.

The issue is that these decisions molded his personality and led to dependency. Although lately, he has had to make decisions on his own and without relying on the strategies and other facilities that Charlotte provided him, they are not enough to mold him into a new personality unless he decides to discard much of what he considers himself to be.

In addition, there was one more issue in the equation: his Icy Power. He was too dependent on that power when he was on earth. Being such a powerful ability, he naturally became more trusting and ended up relying too much on the other facilities Charlotte provided.

Something was different with her as she formed herself, and although she received good abilities, they weren't even a quarter as good as the Icy Power. All of that came together, which caused him to be in a dilemma.

With a complicated issue like that, his mind didn't want to stop thinking, perhaps trying to find a better solution.

After a while of being like that, Matt sighed.

'There's nothing I can do. If I have to throw away who I've been for so many years, what does it matter? At the end of the road, the only thing that matters is how far I've come.' He thought and smiled a little.

He turned around and hugged Alice gently, surprising her.

She didn't want to part from him, so she hugged him tightly for several minutes, not expecting anything in return. At the end of it all, she knew the kind of person Matt was.

So, being hugged suddenly naturally surprised her, and she looked up to find Matt's face really close to hers.

Matt smiled at her and gave her a soft kiss on her forehead. He wanted to thank her for her words and for trying to comfort him, but he didn't know how he should go about it.

"It's strange to be comforted by the girl who failed more than me. I seem to be being a bit childish today and you seem to be maturing nicely. Thank you." he replied.

Alice was greatly surprised by his every word and action. Not only did being hugged by him feel good, but it was also the first time he had decided to kiss her on his own, and even though it was not where she'd like it to go, she didn't mind. This was already a breakthrough.

She smiled at this and raised her hands to cup Matt's face.

"Sometimes, I also want to comfort you and try to lift your spirits, as it's not common to see you in this state. I should say this is the first time I've seen you like this." She replied.

Matt nodded slightly at her words.

It felt good to have someone there in bad times, and he has always been lucky in this case. There was always someone there, and there seemed to be someone there this time. That made him think that he wanted to pay her back, somehow.

Then he remembered what he had told her recently and smiled.

"If that's so, then I must keep my word." Matt said.

He lifted her up like a princess and walked into the room where he slept. He walked over to the bed and sat there, mounting her on his legs.

Alice was entirely surprised by this, and her thoughts were suddenly triggered, but from one moment to the next, she was again gently embraced, this time while sitting on Matt's legs. Her head was placed on Matt's neck.

At the same time, Matt touched her forehead, and she felt something cold forming there. It was a strange, different inscription, quite powerful and freezing, but one that didn't seem to carry any of the ice attributes besides the cold she felt.

Suddenly, her mind was invaded by a large amount of external information entering her mind.

This was an extremely difficult inscription to use and have it be successful. Matt was surprised when he noticed that he was, in fact, successful in using it. At first, he just wanted to try it and see if he had any luck, just as he had 'lucked out' in the past when he first used it in Charlotte.

His surprise was normal because to use this inscription and for it to be successful, it was necessary that the other person had no defense against the person who was trying to use it. This person had to have a calm and relaxed mind and be in absolute trust with the other person to be able to use it because the idea of this was to transmit information or knowledge.

In this case, Matt passed on to her much of the information he knew about the Path of Control and magic, as well as various information about some important issues regarding the use of vampiric power and mana. All that information was passed on in a moment, thanks to the fact that Alice wasn't afraid of what Matt might do to her.
