00:00Quinn was wondering what the blood ritual was. After all, there wasn't much information
00:04revealed about it. But now that the system was offering for Vorden to become a blooded
00:08one, it all became clear to him. It was a ritual that would allow Vorden to turn into
00:13some type of vampire.
00:14I can't just turn Vorden into a vampire. He would have to deal with the same crap that
00:18I had to deal with, Quinn thought. Maybe I needed it to make myself stronger, but for
00:23Vorden, who was already strong, there's no upside.
00:26A thought then came into his mind. The blonde man in the video had told him to grow his
00:30own army, and soon others would come for him. Was this what he was talking about?
00:36In the end, though, Quinn decided it wasn't his decision to make. Vorden had helped big
00:41time, and if he wanted to, then it was his choice. And it would be nice to have people
00:45to go through this with.
00:46Hey, Vorden, if you had the option, or let's say I could turn you into a vampire, would
00:51you? Quinn asked.
00:53I don't want to hurt your feelings or anything like that, but the answer would be no, Vorden
00:57replied. Being weak for most of the day, sure it's fine while we're on a planet like this,
01:01but besides, what would happen to my ability?
01:05Quinn waited for the AI to answer his concern. The AI actually started to seem smarter than
01:10he first thought. From what he said earlier and also giving him the option to use his
01:14skill meant it was listening in on everything that was being said.
01:18Fine, I can see you're waiting for an answer. His whole cell structure would change, or
01:22he would then become a vampire, or something like one anyway, which yes would mean he would
01:27no longer have his ability. Not only that, but it might be a while before he could learn
01:31one as well.
01:32What do you mean? Quinn asked.
01:34You didn't learn the shadow ability the conventional way. There is no longer an ability book to
01:38learn from. It would be nearly impossible for you to teach it to him. Then you would
01:43have to wait until you found an ability book compatible with your vampire cells.
01:48Yeah, sorry Vorden, it probably would get rid of your ability, Quinn said, scratching
01:53the back of his head. I just thought I would ask, you might have been one of those types
01:57obsessed with vampires.
01:59There are people like that? Vorden replied.
02:02The two of them then started to head down the stadium floor, an area that was designed
02:06for combat. They had been looking around the room for an hour now, and it seemed like they
02:10were unable to find a place where the portal could be. They needed to make a decision,
02:15whether or not to leave the training center and head outside to look for another place.
02:19But before deciding any of that, Quinn wanted to get the hang of his new skills. Vorden
02:24was also interested, and thought he might be able to help, since he had experience with
02:28using elemental abilities before.
02:31The first test was his dimensional storage skill. Just like with other skills, all he
02:36needed to do was think about it in his head, and it would activate. While activated, the
02:40shadow from his own body started to wiggle and swirl about a bit. It looked like an ocean
02:45continually moving.
02:47Using a piece of metal he grabbed earlier, he slowly pushed it into his shadow, and the
02:51object started to sink in, until it eventually disappeared.
02:55That's kinda neat, Vorden said watching. Can you get it back out?
03:00Quinn then placed his hand into his shadow. As he did, his arm sunk into it, but he could
03:04feel nothing. He then thought of the piece of metal, and suddenly he could feel something
03:09in his hand. He pulled out the piece of scrap metal.
03:12The two continued to do more tests with the dimensional storage. Quinn found out that
03:17not only his shadow could be used to gain access to things, but also Vorden's shadow
03:21or any shadow cast by the wall and buildings. When Quinn touched these shadows, they too
03:26would start to wiggle like his own shadow.
03:29The next test was to see if they could store items bigger than the shadow itself. Vorden
03:33gathered a bunch of chairs from the stadium, and formed them into one giant flat metal
03:38circle. Then, Quinn placed one hand on the circle, while the other on his shadow to store
03:42the item. The shadow underneath his foot started to expand into the shadow created by the large
03:48circle. Eventually, the whole thing dropped inside. It seemed like the size of the item
03:53did not matter, and the good thing was it didn't take up any MC to use it.
03:58The next skill, as the one Quinn was looking forward to the most, Shadow Control, a skill
04:02that didn't say much in terms of description.
04:06Shadow Control Level 1 Active Then inside Quinn's mind, something had clicked.
04:11He felt like he had a new set of arms he could control. The shadow underneath his legs was
04:15alive and could freely move about. He lifted the shadow, and it was like a dark, moving
04:20mist that continually surrounded him.
04:22I guess the skill is limited to just the shadow around you for now. It's like a level one
04:27earth ability, said Vorden. I wonder why it needs so many mutant cells to activate and
04:32is considered a level six.
04:34Using the shadow around him, Quinn was able to extend it out and lift the small piece
04:38of metal that he pulled from his dimension earlier. It was like controlling another person.
04:44After using it for a while, Quinn seemed to get the hang of it. He could move the shadow
04:48to go anywhere around his body, or he could form it into whatever he liked, even weapons,
04:53but when changing it into a sword-like shape and trying to cut the metal, it did nothing
04:57but go around it. It seemed like the shadow sword did not have the same properties.
05:03Well, now that you got the hang of it, you want to spar a little? Vorden asked.
05:07Having the shadow just active and moving about didn't take much MC. It only took about one
05:12point of MC per minute, which meant he could play about and activate the shadow for around
05:17an hour and a half if he didn't use any other skills. This didn't change no matter what
05:22he did with the shadow. However, there did seem to be one downside. While he was using
05:27his shadow control skill, he was unable to cast Shadow Cloak or even use his shadow dimension.
05:33The shadow underneath him was no longer there and was being controlled. If he activated
05:37the shadow dimension, the shadow would immediately fall to his feet again. Now the two of them
05:42stood opposite each other, ready to have a friendly fight. Vorden, this time, had a couple
05:47of metal balls hovering around him instead of spikes. Be careful, Quinn. Although these
05:51might not be like the spikes, they can still do a lot of damage.
05:55It's alright, Vorden. My body can handle it.
05:58Not using his full strength, Vorden repelled the ball at a decent speed, heading towards
06:02Quinn. At that moment, he lifted the shadow from his feet to form a type of wall. As the
06:07two made an impact, the ball seemed to slow down. It started sinking through the shadow
06:12slowly. Quinn stared at the ball carefully, and then when the ball had nearly passed through
06:16the shadow wall, it started to accelerate.
06:19Uh-oh!
06:20The ball left the shadow wall and slammed right into Quinn's stomach, falling to the
06:24ground.
06:25Ah! Quinn shouted as he tried to breathe in some air.
06:28Well, I wasn't expecting that, Vorden said.
06:32Try again, Quinn groaned.
06:34Vorden then fired the second ball of metal, and once again, Quinn lifted up his shadow
06:38shield and the same result had appeared. Only this time, Quinn moved to the side, allowing
06:44the shadow to stay where it was before moving the shadow. The ball then carried on moving
06:49forward and banged into the stadium wall.
06:51Let's see how physical attacks work, Vorden said as he moved forward and swung a long
06:56metal pipe he had in his hand. Using the shadow, Quinn blocked again and the same thing happened.
07:02However, Vorden was easily able to pull the object away from the shadow and attack in
07:07a new place. He also noticed that the shadow was only covering Quinn's front and was not
07:12big enough to go around his back. If he was to use his attractive skill on one of the
07:16metal balls, he would easily be able to hurt Quinn right now.
07:20Vorden continued to attack with the metal pipe, and Quinn continued to block moving
07:24the shadow in the areas where Vorden was attacking. That's when he realized something. Every
07:30time Quinn would hit his shadow, his MC points would go down by a chunk or so. The same thing
07:35had happened when he threw out the balls. The stronger the attack, it seemed the more
07:39MC points would be used from the shadow.
07:42Then when Vorden was about to attack one more time,
07:45"'Wait! Stop, Vorden!' Quinn shouted. His shadow had vanished, and he had run out
07:50of MC points. The shadow acted as a type of shield. It wasn't solid enough to block
07:55attacks, but would be able to slow them down. Later, when Quinn's MC points were restored
08:00a little bit, he did a few other tests. If Vorden was close enough, he could use the
08:05shadow to grab onto him like an extra pair of hands, or even grab onto his legs, slowing
08:09him down. But there wasn't enough of the shadow to use it in both of these ways. He
08:14could simply either use the shadow to attack, or to defend.
08:18"'Well, I can see why your ability is a level 6 now,' Vorden said. "'I think it's more to
08:23do with how freely you can use the shadow, and my example would be the skills. Normally
08:28a skill would just be a different type of attack, but your ability, your shadows, can
08:32actually be used to do entirely new things. A separate storage space, masking you in the
08:37night and even as a defensive shield. It's almost as if you have three abilities combined
08:41into one.'" Quinn was happy with the results of the shadow
08:44ability, and hearing Vorden talk about it made him feel even more confident. He couldn't
08:49wait to unlock the other skills in the shadow tab of his system.
08:53With the spa over, the two of them decided that once Quinn was fully rested and his MT
08:58points were back, they would exit out of the training center and go exploring again. After
09:03all, if they did nothing, they would soon start to starve, and Vorden didn't want another
09:07instance where Quinn got too hungry. It took around 30 seconds for Quinn to gain
09:12back a single MC point, so it would take around an hour for all of his points to be restored.
09:17Then they would make their move back to the outside. Outside in the abandoned shelter
09:22somewhere in the city between two broken down buildings in the middle of the street. A specific
09:27area started to appear distorted, the space itself looked as if it was bending. Then little
09:32sparks of electricity were seen coming from it. Zap.
09:37Suddenly four people appeared holding hands together on the street. As soon as they saw
09:41where they were, they immediately let go.
09:43"'Is everyone here?' Faye asked as she did a head count. The homeroom teacher, Del, was
09:49here, although he was still wearing clothing like he was ready to teach. Then there was
09:53the doctor, Haley. She was dressed more appropriately, with high-end beast gear all over. She didn't
09:59look like her usual self in her white robe, and looked almost intimidating. It was what
10:03one would expect, as her father was one of the generals of the school. Then there was
10:08Leo. He was wearing light armor that fitted tightly to the skin, similar to Faye. Both
10:13of their abilities focused on speed, so it was important not to wear something too heavy.
10:18"'Alright, our goal is to find the children,' Faye said. The rescue team had arrived."
