My Vampire System novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196 The thirteen families

A whole load of information had just been given to Quinn at once. He felt like it was pretty relevant to the situation he was in and it would have been nice if he had at least hinted about it beforehand. The way the AI acted with the system was really starting to bug Quinn.

The lesson was coming to its end, so Leo decided to round up everyone to give a few pointers. This was Quinn’s chance to ask the system the questions he needed.

"Look, I don’t understand anything," Quinn said. "I understand maybe you didn’t want to tell me before. The less I know about it the better, hoping I wouldn’t get too involved but right now, Fex is here, and if I make a mistake and slip up he will easily be able to tell."

"I’m sorry Quinn." The system replied. "I want to tell you but sometimes I can’t. When the creator created me, he chose to make it so certain information was revealed only when necessary. There are things I wish to tell you but cannot."

"Then what can you tell me? Earlier Fex mentioned there being family leaders and then you mentioned that I was one as well, what does he mean by that?"

"The Vampires are controlled by a council. The council is split up into thirteen different leaders and a Vampire king or queen. These are also what are known as families. When you created Peter and made your family name, you automatically became a member of the council."

Quinn couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Just a second ago he didn’t even know a Vampire council existed and now apparently he held a high position of power.

"But then, why would they be after me then?" Quinn asked. "And wouldn’t this mean I would be safe if they found out about Peter?"

"Quinn, the Vampire race like to seem like they are working together but they are just as cruel and power hungry as humans. When the Vampire king or queen decides to go into eternal slumber, then a new king shall be selected from one of the thirteen leaders.

"While the current king or queen is still present they must do as they say, but once they disappear, it will turn into a cruel battleground. You are only a leader in name only. A shortcut was created due to the system. A lowly Vampire like you is too weak. To become a vampire leader one at least must have the rank of a Vampire lord. Although this isn’t the only reason why they will be after you, unfortunately, I can’t say anymore."

The Vampire leaders were at the rank of a Vampire Lord, but Quinn had never met a leader before so he had no reference for their strength. The only other Vampire he had met was Fex.

"What about Fex, do you know what rank he is at?" Quinn asked.

"Fex is on the cusp. He is not quite at the next evolution stage which would be a Vampire noble, but he is stronger than most Vampires out there. The ranks are as follows, you have a Vampire, Vampire Noble, Vampire knight, Vampire lord, and finally, the Vampire king or queen. There are also the subclasses such as Peter within these ranks, but they can never rise above their leaders or creators."

Quinn was hoping to hear that Fex was quite a high ranking Vampire, perhaps even one just below the Vampire lord. Instead, he just managed to get confirmation that there were a few more classes even above Fex.

It was as the system said, for whatever reason that the system wouldn’t tell him if they were to learn he was a Vampire leader they would try to kill him, and with his strength right now he wouldn’t even last a second.

"These families, why are there thirteen of them? Couldn’t all the Vampires just unite under one banner."

"The humans and vampires share more than they would like to think. Just how humans were selfish and decided to keep their abilities to themselves, it is the same for the Vampires. Each Vampire has a basic set of skills, however, the thirteen different families are each divided into the different abilities they have.
