My Vampire System novel Chapter 288

Chapter 288 Less time

Hearing these words come out of Fex mouth caused nearly every blood vessel in Quinn’s body to freeze. He couldn’t help but utter, "What did you say?"

"I guess you really didn’t know huh?" Fex replied, scratching his head, knowing that this was going to be a tough one to explain, "Think about it right, sometimes when we drink blood, there’s this rush that comes over our bodies, there have been studies where it was observed that it increases a vampires strength by about ten percent. That’s why I always carry a flask around, not just for healing.

"The problem is, blood is like a double-edged sword for us; the more often we consume it, the more we crave it. From an early age, Vampires who had close ties to the head of families were taught to resist blood. At first, maybe we can’t go on for more than two days without blood, but eventually, we can build up a resistance to it."

"The vampires who have been alive for hundreds of years have gone through this process strictly, and now some of them don’t even require blood anymore. However, there are occasions where when they go into battle, they will consume some, and make a note that not all vampires chose to go down this path. If one does drink blood after resisting it for a long time, it will only cause a small setback before they are back to normal again."

"Still, the same can also happen the opposite way if you keep drinking blood like this for pleasure. Eventually, you will become an addict, craving blood, and not even be able to quench your thirst. To put it in simple terms for you to understand, you would become a conscious Bloodsucker."

The explanation had Quinn slightly worried. He had been drinking blood quite regularly to increase his strength. In fact, if there was an opportunity to consume blood, he would take it because it allowed him to grow stronger.

When Quinn first got his vampire powers, he decided to only consume Layla’s blood as and when needed even though he enjoyed the taste. He was afraid of this very thing from happening.

However, once he had obtained the system AI, his original fears started to lessen. Whenever he had a question about vampire matters or when something might do him harm, the system would step in to stop and explain things to him.

Undoubtedly, the system AI knew what would happen to Quinn if he was to continue? So then why didn’t it try to stop him?

The only thing he could do was ask.

’Did you know about this, is what he’s saying true?’ Quinn asked. _{frёeweɓηovel.coɱ}

The system had a long pause, and Fex wasn’t saying much either. Fex thought that Quinn might have been consuming even more blood whenever they weren’t together. Such as during training sessions and in the classroom. Perhaps he was having a hard time taking in this possibility.

Enjoying the taste of blood was fine, but no one wanted to be a living conscious bloodsucker. While thinking about this, Fex started to touch his beautiful gel-backed black hair on the top of his head.

’I never want to transform again. Maybe one day, my hair will completely disappear and not grow back if I do that again.’ Fex thought.

The system had taken such a long time to reply that Quinn had thought it had gone silent and chosen not to answer him.

"What Fex says is true, and I’m afraid, even with the system, you will be affected by this."

"What!?" Quinn shouted in his head but was also cautious about making sure Fex was unable to hear him. Although he was able to keep his thoughts in his head, his body slightly jolted with anger, which didn’t go unnoticed.

"Why.. didn’t you say anything, just when I keep thinking I could trust you, you pull some crap like this!"

"First of all, the word you used, trust, I find it strange. In the first place, I am nothing but a system who chose to help you. Not once have I ever told you a lie. I may have hidden some things from you, but without me, you would be more or less in the same situation anyway." The system replied, now with alteration in his voice, showing that he was annoyed at Quinn’s words.

Hearing the system speak like this made it feel even more human..or at least not a robot.

"To be honest, without me, you would be far worse than you are right now. I never told you or suggested that you go out and consume the blood of your classmates; that was all on you. You wished to grow stronger, and I chose not to get in the way of that."

The system was right; he had never told Quinn to do this. Due to his desire to get stronger, he had resorted to this without bothering to determine if there were any consequences. He had been relying on the system too much when he should have stuck to his research.
