Seeing so much info, Jayden stood still for several minutes, reading again and again. After about 15 minutes of silence, he couldn’t help but ask. “What’s going on? Am I dead?”
“Haha, no, you’re alive.” seeing Jayden’s confused expression, the female voice giggled before speaking again. ” Let me explain from the start.”
After Jayden nodded subtly, she started to explain.
“Because of a strange fate of yours, you got your hands on one of the most powerful objects of our universe; no one knew where it was or how to use it, or what it could even do. But somehow you managed to connect with it, due to which you went through an evolution and as you can see you turned into a vampire. That’s the gist of it.”
Jayden sighed at how shortly she summarized all of it. His whole life changed; his view of the world shattered completely, and she made it sound like it was no big deal. He’s a fucking vampire now, for god’s sake.
Rubbing his brows, Jayden said: “Let’s start with names, you must have already seen mine, but let me say it again, I am Jayden.”
“Oh, how impolite of me; I am Anna Blake.” Anna said in a mischievous voice
“So, are you a real person or just a voice in my head, like an ai.” Jayden
“fufu, I am a real person; I am a vampire too.” Anna
“So, where are you? Are you around me?” Jayden asked, looking around while thinking ‘how the hell is it obvious that she’s a vampire.’
“No, I am not around you; I can only observe you. As for my location, I am not sure myself, but it’s very, very far.” Anna
“Oh, okay. Can you ‘please’ give a more detailed explanation of that stat thing and all.” Jayden said while gritting teeth.
“humph,” Anna harrumphed. Jayden swore he could feel her smirking, holding his anger. Jayden waited patiently for her to explain everything.
“So, after you turned into a vamp, you got basic vampire abilities, as you can see in your stats, like healing and charms, etc. The innate ability is the ability that a vampire inherits at its birth, or when it transforms into a vamp, it could be similar to others or could also differ. Like in vampire-established families, they all share the same innate abilities.”
Seeing Jayden listening with full concentration, she continued: “Blood point is something unique to you, but I guess you gets it when you kill someone, and it would help you increase the level of your abilities. Hunger point is like stamina and a meter for you to know when your bloodthirst could skyrocket. About your class, it will increase as you level up; when you reach level 100, you could evolve into the next class.”
She paused for a moment, then said in an uncertain tone,” I don’t understand the alter egos part. Do you have multiple personalities or something?”
“Well, something like that,” he said in a casual tone, not explaining much.
“Hey, I am explaining with so much patience; you can’t just say ‘something like that’, explain it a bit more,” Anna said in a slightly annoyed tone.
“sigh, Well when I started living in the streets, I saw something similar to it in a movie, so I too started it for fun; slowly, it became a habit for me, and before I knew it, it was as if I had multiple personalities, but at the same time, it felt like we all are one. It became a way for me to run from reality.” Jayden told Anna
“Hmmm,” After waiting for a few moments, Anna asked, “So which one is the real you? Who is talking to me now?” She knew he wasn’t telling the truth, but decided not to probe further.
“We’re all real me, and I am the ‘happy’ one, as named in my stats,” Jayden answered.
“Let’s end the info exchange event for now; that’s a lot for me to digest,” Jayden said, rubbing his forehead.
Jayden looked around and remembered that he was still in the house he entered by breaking the wall. It seemed like no one was at home, so Jayden took clothes from there and changed them into new ones.
While changing, he noticed his muscles which were so thin back then, were muscular. He even has six packs. His handsome face could charm most girls; with a face like that, he could even become a model.
One thing that astonished him the most was that even his ‘shrunken baby elephant’ had turned into a ‘fully grown elephant’ under his pants. Seeing this, he had a like look of total shock and disbelief; it was the biggest Change.
Seeing Jayden’s expression and the sparkle in his eyes, Anna chuckled, “Fufu, are you planning to rule the world with your stick.”
Hearing her, Jayden came back to reality and said with a red face, “Cough, cough. Shut up, and stop looking at me, pervert Anna.”
“Don’t call me names. “Anna said amusedly.
Jayden sighed and walked out towards the street, where Charles’s ashes were still present; ignoring it, he walked towards his mattress.
…
At that moment, another message popped in front of Jayden.
{ Quest:
Task: Kill at least 30 demi-Ashura
Time Limit: 10 hours
Location: Astrion prison
Difficulty level: [7/10]
Reward: Weapon [shapeshifting, capable of cutting through defenses of the enemy up to level 150.]
Penalty: Death

Jayden stopped dead in his tracks and went through the task details again and again.
Then he said meekly to Anna: “You didn’t say anything about quests.”
“Oh, I didn’t? welp, don’t sweat little details, “Anna answered nonchalantly
Jayden sighed again. He can’t believe she omitted one of the biggest points.
“So, what are you going to do now? should I prepare myself to mourn for you and prepare sympathy cards?” Anna asked playfully
Ignoring her last question, he said: “First tell me all about that Demi-Ashura, then I will decide my further plans. Also, I need to test out my abilities. It seems somewhat useless. Can’t they have given me something I can use in combat?”
“It’s the first time I’ve seen such an ability too, but I think it could be a bane for your enemies; if you could control it completely, it’s my gut feeling,” Anna said with uncharacteristic seriousness.
Jayden nodded, feeling a little more confident; if what he was thinking would be possible with his ability, then enemies would have to fear even his name.
