Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

In a flash, it was already a week since the graduation ceremony.

During this time, a lot of things happened as the students who graduated settled down in their new workplaces while the Obedin Mystic Academy got prepared for another academy session.

Ben, Rex, and Cassandra also already settled down during this time.

Though the 3 friend's main residential address was still Bowling Town, the 3 of them now stayed in Obedin City in the residential quarters prepared by their various organizations.

After the graduation ceremony, they got 4 days of rest which were the last few leisure days that Rex spent with his 2 friends before reporting for work.

Once 4 days were up, Ben left for the Obedin City Government Hunter Union while Rex and Cassandra left for the Obedin City army.

Before leaving for the army, the last 4 days that Rex spent with his friends were the weirdest days of his life as he seemed to be going through an existential crisis about how his life would go from henceforth.

With his parents dead, Rex was the one in charge of his life, he was not obligated to report to anyone, he was the boss of his own life.

Despite this, after the graduation ceremony, Rex doubted if that was the case. Everything that happened from the assassination to him becoming a vampire, to getting his system, and the story of his family, everything overwhelmed him.

What bothered him the most was his new identity as a vampire and the story of his family. Rex was so affected by what he saw that he was sad for days.

Though he tried to hide it, his friends knew him too much and they were able to deduce that something was wrong. They asked but he refused to answer.

After everything that he saw and everything that he inherited, Rex felt all of a sudden that a great burden was dropped on his shoulders.

Receiving the system and all the other benefits that his family prepared was not for free, in exchange, he was tasked to fight for the re-emergence of the Ancient Vector family which was something that Rex never planned for all his life.

After seeing everything that happened to his family most especially when his father was beheaded, Rex's hatred for this mysterious enemy grew to a peak.

At that very moment, he was ready to do anything to go after the mysterious hooded warrior and kill him but after he left the underground basement and after the graduation ceremony, his head seemed to calm down.

After calming down, this was when Rex thought deeply about his circumstances. In the end, he discovered that he was stuck.

Rex already had so many memories in Obedin City and Bowling Town that just the thought of leaving this all behind tore him apart. He didn't want to leave Ben and Cassandra; he didn't want to leave this beautiful city where he schooled.

Obedin City taught him all that he needed to become a strong warrior, he felt guilty if he just left them all behind and pursued an impossible quest.

Perhaps it was cowardice, perhaps his mentality was too weak, but Rex felt that he couldn't do it, he could not bear the thought of leaving all this behind.

Besides, even if he left, he did not know where to start. His enemies were hidden, he didn't know them, not even their name and he was too weak, if he went after them the only outcome would be the end of the Vector lineage.

This was why Rex decided to stay in Obedin City and slowly grow stronger. When he felt that he was strong enough, perhaps his decision would change then.

Apart from the dilemma of leaving Obedin City to avenge his family, his 2nd dilemma was his current identity, he was a freaking Vampire now!

Being a Vampire didn't sound like much at first, but it was a lot as Rex already seen in the last 4 days. The worst of all the troubles that came with his new identity was his weakness to the sun and his craving need for human blood.

The last trouble almost drove Rex insane on the first day after the graduation ceremony, the idea of drinking human blood sounded so alien to him that he was losing his mind, he was seriously in need of help.

At first, he didn't want to do it but once the penalty kicked in again, he had no choice but to secretly invade a hospital to steal human blood to drink.

Well, he could only do this for 2 days before his friends caught him. Left with no choice, Rex could only tell them the truth that he was now a Vampire though he remained adamant in hiding any information about his family from them.

On hearing this shocking news, like usual, Cassandra reacted calmly to it while Ben's reaction was overblown.

"Holy freaking sh*t! You're a Vampire? Damn sh*t bro!"

"Can you bite? Where are your fingernails? Damn, bro, do you melt when exposed to the sun?"

"…"

Rex and Cassandra ignored him until Cassandra brought the ultimate question. "So, you sneaked into the hospital to find a solution to your blood craving?"

Her calmness spooked Rex and he could not help but ask. "Are you not scared? Like, I mean…"

"I'm not scared, I already suspected this from the first day".

Hearing that spooked Rex even more. By now, he already had the full account of everything that transpired that day. He already knew that just like him, Cassandra probably had a huge secret, what was her secret?

Once he revealed his Vampire secret, he pressured Cassandra to reveal hers but she calmly replied the same way that she replied to the principal.

After that, she proposed a solution to Rex's problem since Rex was extremely repulsive to the idea of biting a human's neck to suck his/her blood to feed.

Both his friends would help him in sneaking into hospitals to steal blood. This was how they spent the 4 days as they quickly accepted Rex's new identity.

Behind their backs though, apart from fulfilling Berserker's daily training request and being a vampire, Rex also interacted more with his system.

During the week as Rex accessed his system status more, he understood more about his current strength and all that he gained from the underground basement where he became a vampire.

His current race as written in his status which was a Vampire Neonate corresponded to his age. A Neonate was a vampire of 50 years or less, an Ancillae was one of 50 to 300 years, and an Elder was a vampire of 300 years and above.

Besides the ridiculous advantage of being immortal, Vampires grew stronger with age. Apart from his normal mystic energy powers, Rex would grow significantly stronger each time he grew a rank higher on the scale.

According to his system, every Vampire Elder was a Legendary Mystic Warrior. Rex wondered if some of the famous Legendary Mystic Warriors of this era were vampires.

Rex could not wait to level up through the Vampire bloodline ranks but his only problem was that his first level up would take 50 freaking years!

Rex's 2nd dilemma about his system status was the basic warrior grade tab which according to his system was currently at the 1st tier, Rex had no idea what a basic warrior grade was and that was why he asked his system for clarification.

The explanation from his system was long.

According to the system, after awakening mystic energy and becoming a basic mystic warrior, the warrior improves through the ranks by training his mystic energy capacity.

By harnessing mystic energy, mystic warriors refine their minds and body to become stronger. The more mystic energy, the stronger a mystic warrior was.

The amount of mystic energy that mystic warriors had was what divided their ranks into specific power tiers.

For basic mystic warriors, every 10 mystic energy capacity limit gives a boost in stats, and every 50 mystic energy capacity limit was a milestone and it separated the strength of basic mystic warriors. To become an intermediate mystic warrior, 500 mystic energy points were needed.

After having above 50 mystic energy points, Basic mystic warriors develop to the 1st tier and each subsequent 50 mystic energy points takes them to the next tier and beyond. There are 10 tiers in the basic mystic warrior rank.

Originally, normal mystic warriors train hard to increase their mystic energy limit but Rex's system can increase his through mission rewards.

The system gives skill points to upgrade, personalize, and learn skills, while also giving constitution points to upgrade his special constitution, and mystic energy points to increase his mystic energy capacity.

At the moment, Rex's mystic energy points were 80 which was astonishing for a mystic warrior who awakened mystic energy just a few weeks ago.

After Master Fixten complimented his growth speed was when Rex started taking notice of it. Originally, he attributed everything to his talent but the speed was too ridiculous, this was when Rex attributed it to something else, the upgrade.

After awakening mystic energy, Rex had always wondered about about the real use of his upgrade mystic ability apart from rebirth until he saw his system status.

By awakening his mystic ability, he awakened some innate abilities which were the mind time travel, spectator, photographic memory, overload, and rebirth.

According to his system, the mind time travel was his ability to travel to either the past or the future through his mind. Something similar happened that became the catalyst to him creating the Nirvana Slash advanced sword skill.

As for the spectator, this was what enabled him to be like a spectator whenever he went into the world of his mind.

Photographic memory gave him such great recalling prowess that at the moment, it would take a miracle for him to forget details. This was what also enabled him to not get lost due to the numerous details in the world of his mind.

As for the overload, this was an ability that Rex had never used. According to his system, by activating it, he would burn his own blood, mystic energy, and soul essence in exchange for a temporary boost in power.

How powerful he became depended on how much he could sacrifice since the results of burning so much could prove detrimental to his growth.

This was a trump card skill that should be treated with care and dread.

As for the last ability, it was the main ability of the upgrade mystic ability, Rebirth. Combining both rebirth and photographic memory was what enabled the upgrades to remember details from their previous life.

Apart from these abilities though, Rex guessed that the upgrade had a passive ability that was not displayed. His intuition told him that his rapid growth speed was a result of his upgrade mystic ability.

After going through the ability parts of his system status, Rex was about to go to the mystic treasure part before he was interrupted by a familiar voice.

"Rex, it's time to leave, the Sergeant is already in the hall!"

"Aye, I'm coming!"

Once he heard Cassandra's voice, Rex sprang up from his chair and added the finishing touches to his new military uniform before going out to meet her.

After a week of leave and after reporting to the army for the first time, the new inductees were finally about to meet their direct superior.
