Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

Being a vampire now and at the rank of a blood sucker, there was no way Ingrid's physical body would remain the same, and she must have obtained some racial skills also. Aldritch wanted to test all these and see what kind of skills and abilities she unlocked, as much as he could.

Though, it was still early for her to realise and control her skills, so Aldritch wasn't eager, instead, he was more interested in how physically stronger she had become.

Since others didn't have systems, there was no way he could compare what her stats used to be and what they were now to see if the change was much or if there was any change at all. he could only go off of her performance against him… then again, he wasn't sure what a normal human's stat would be… 'Maybe it would be 10?

Or maybe 5 for a normal human.' He wasn't sure, but even then, he would be able to tell if she was stronger than what your everyday lady is capable of.

Before they started anything, they moved from where they were since it wasn't so conducive to fight with a newbie… not that Aldritch was an expert himself, since he still needed to learn how to properly fight.

They easily found an open area where leveled grass grew and there was a bit of clearing where no trees clustered.

"Alright, why don't we start by you taking off your clothes, you can leave your inner wears?" Aldritch said. Ingrid had on, a skirt that went from her stomach to her ankles and a blouse that was tucked into the skirt. It was pretty simple dressing, but for someone about to engage in combat, the attire wasn't appropriate.

Aldritch watched as Ingrid panicked shyly, unwilling to take off her clothes. She really was smart and had d steady mind filled with dark thoughts, but then again, her other side wasn't none existent, deep within, she was still a girl… "ww-w-what? Everything? Do I need to do that? Won't I be… naked?" she protested with a sheepish grin.

'So, she does have this side to her?' Aldritch thought to himself, smiling inwardly at her behavior, she looked like a child.

Now that he thought about it, when she explained most of the things and said all she said, she was under mind control and had little expression on her face, so it made her appear cold and ruthless; that must have been why he already painted her in a particular image, but it would seem that he was wrong.

"Have you ever seen someone fight while wearing a skirt or dress?" he asked, his tone normal.

"Um… yes, the Ice butterfly Princess." Ingrid answered, averting her eyes on contact with Aldritch's, fully aware of what her words meant.

"She's an expert, you can't even throw a punch, so I don't want to hear any complaints. Get on with it, hurry up."

Slowly, Ingrid did as Aldritch said, her motion painting a clear picture of a diffident girl.

Once she was ready, they both stood opposite each other, giving some space between them. Aldritch ordered her to attack him, but she remained hesitant and the action was difficult to carryout. When she finally did as told, nothing seemed different from normal, or at least that's how Aldritch saw it.

She was definitely faster than a normal commoner girl, but nothing special either, and that was the same with her strength.

When Aldritch had seen enough, they ended their little spar. 'Maybe fighting's not her strong suite? Or the increase from being low ranked isn't just much.' He thought to himself, and that second part he believed to be more accurate, after all, he himself didn't get much of an increase in stats despite being a Blooded Vampire.

"Alright, put your clothes back on and let's go."

Once she did that, she returned to Aldritch, now a bit freer than she was around him, though only a little. "Where are we headed? To your place?" She asked, her tone more normal than before.

"Yes, I'll bring you to meet the others." Aldritch said with a faint smirk.

They walked all the way back from the forest until they got to the hotel Aldritch and the rest were in.

"Just how big is the capital? I can't even see the other side of the walls when I look from a building." Aldritch said.

Listening to him, Ingrid was surprised and couldn't help but look at Aldritch briefly. "You really must not be from around here at all. The entirety of the capital spans at least 50 kilometres, there's no way you would be able to see the end of the outer wall from here." She said.

"That big, huh? Outer wall? There's an inner wall then?"

"Yes, of course. There are multiple inner walls in fact, each serving as a division between the different classes of people and the importance attached to it."

"I see."

"There's the outer wall, which we are currently in right now, then there's the middle wall, the inner wall, and lastly, the innermost wall…." She was about to say more, but Aldritch cut in.

"Let me guess, the outer wall is where the commoners reside and carryout their business, the middle wall is where people like merchants with some riches and no nobility reside, the inner wall is where the nobles reside, and the inner most wall is where the royalty, the ruler is?"

"Y-yes, you're correct. You aren't completely uninformed about these things then."

'Hehe… nah, it's just cliché fantasy stuff. Come to think of it, this is similar to how modern earth is too…' he thought to himself.

"It may sound simple, but the divide and discrimination amongst these groups of people is more than you'd think. Then again, that's kind of how it always is, but personally, I don't think it's right… at least, it shouldn't be so negative." She said.

"That's how you feel?"

"Yes."

"We're here." Aldritch said, as they stood before a building with two stories, it was the inn where he was staying at for the time being.

They went inside and headed towards Aldritch's room. Once they were inside and the door was closed, Aldritch sat on the chair inside the room while Ingrid stood before him. A smirk appeared on his face and seemed to be etched on it.

"Meet your family, Lina." Aldritch called out softly.

"Yes, master."
