My Vampire System novel Chapter 510

Chapter 510 The voice is gone

Finally, Quinn looked like he was returning to himself. As his eyes were opening he could see the underground ceiling in an orange tint, being lit up by the several torches in the large room. When he got up, he was surprised to see that he was in the exact same room as before.

He immediately started touching his own body, seeing if there were any changes. It felt weird to be back in his own body again as if it wasn’t his. After all, he had just spent nearly an entire lifetime experiencing everything that Vincent had gone through.

There was no time skip, he had lived every second of Vincent’s life from the nightclub until the day he had died. He touched his face, checking if there was any facial hair. Quinn even at seventeen didn’t have any facial hair, he just didn’t have the genetics for it, but he was wondering how much time had passed.

When he had felt his face, there still was no such thing. But when looking in front of him, in front of the fifth tomb, the floating sprit-like figure that was known as Vincent, was no longer there.

"Is everything okay?" Edward asked, seeing Quinn lifting his upper body from the ground.

"How much time has passed?" Quinn replied.

"Don’t worry, it wasn’t too long maybe a few days."

"A few days!" Quinn said shocked, although he couldn’t be too surprised. He couldn’t imagine what Edward had said if the years he spent living Vincent’s memory had gone past as well, but his main concern now was about Leo and the others and their time was even shorter now before they had to make a decision.

Edward helped Quinn get off the ground and was constantly looking at him. From learning of Vincent’s past Quinn knew Edward really could be relied upon, he too must have learned of what the tenth leader had done, yet still chose to stay with him believing there was a reason for his actions.

What Quinn didn’t like, was that Edward was now staring at him constantly in a strange manner.

"Well, did he say anything?" Edward asked. "I mean Vincent, I saw his spirit and before I could say anything to him, he went inside your body and disappeared again."

Quinn explained to Edward what he had gone through, including the heavy details, things that only Edward or Vincent should have known, and there were even things that Edward didn’t know. Quinn felt like he should have learned the truth of what happened to Vincent, he deserved to know after being loyal for all this time why he had left.

After hearing everything, Edward didn’t seem too surprised though, instead, he had a smile on his face. "So he was able to rest in peace after all," Edward said.

However, something felt strange as Quinn was telling that story, he wanted to ask Vincent if it was okay but was sure the system or the A.I. known as Vincent would have chimed in to stop him if he had said too much but it had said no such thing.

Which was starting to worry Quinn a little.

"Vincent, are you there... Vincent... Vincent..."

There was no response, not even a single word. He rushed over to the fifth tomb to see if anything had changed maybe Vincent would come back out again, but there was no response. Then a ding from the system had come up.

[New quest received!]

[Passing the torch]

[Return to the fifth tomb underneath the tenths castle once you have become the true tenth leader of the castle]

[Quest reward ????]

He read the reward, and he had no clue what it meant. It wasn’t what he was trying to do; he was trying to get in contact with Vincent. After trying several things, he had come to the realization, that Vincent was no longer with him.

After showing him everything he had been through, after being with him this long, he was gone. The system was still there and acting as normal and his powers were the same, but his spirit or voice had disappeared.

If Quinn was to have a guess, maybe he could contact him again after completing the quest of passing the torch. It seemed not everything was a complete coincidence after all, and he and Quinn shared the same blood.

After learning this fact, and losing him like this, it did feel like to Quinn that he had lost a family member.

’Family?’

"Edward, what happened to Jim?" Quinn asked. "I remember you saying the other vampire knight was upset with Vincent, did he go to another family?"
