9 Black & Gold

The next few weeks Viktor's mansion was full of vampires partying non-stop as if there was no tomorrow, their population increased as it started to snow and get cold, vampires were able to step into day as the sky was covered with thick white clouds not letting sunlight in.

The small city is not aware of the new creatures living as their neighbors, Ian being called Father or his majesty from time to time, but what his creation don't know is that he doesn't like the name at all as it makes him feel old.

Amelia was taught about leadership and her personality was changing, one time she was a cruel bloodsucking monster and another time she was all cute and kind.

Now the elders and their 'Father' along with the other vampires that are now numbered sixty-seven are preparing carriages filled with weapons, clothes, gold, anything of use, to travel the land to a place that was selected a few days ago to be their coven's home.

"Lord Viktor we're ready" a vampire wearing armor with a sword on his side Informed Viktor.

"Let us go then," Viktor inside his carriage along with his daughter commanded.

The carriages moved on their way to leave the city.

Ian was not with them as he was the first who left with Amelia, standing near a rocky mountain and on his side stood a forest.

In front of him a white screen showing a structure with two ends, one above the ground and the other under it, the structure looked majestic on the inside, the gold and the black design befitting of their race.

At his feet a chest stood, he opened it and it was filled to the brim with gold coins.

Amelia looked at it with cold eyes, when she saw a chest filled with gold for the first time, she was drooling for it. But shortly after her training from Viktor she looked at it as if it was dirt instead of gold.

"Why are we here?" Amelia Asked, as she was confused.

"You'll see, now stand behind me" Ian grinned and ordered her to stand behind him as she did so.

He looked once again at the screen and pressed 'Under Castle', the screen changed.

「To confirm your purchase of 'Under Castle' please spill your blood on the designated Location.」

Ian unsheathed his dagger and slit his palm, and moved fast forward a little far from where Amelia was standing and let his blood drip to the ground, after a small amount of it was spilled the text on the screen changed.

「Confirmed, please step away!」

And so he stepped away back to where he stood in the first place, his palm already healed as if he never did anything to it at all.

Seconds become minutes then hours, that's when an earthquake shook where he stood, the trees in the forest on his right cut themselves from the ground and the air chopped them up, on his left the rocky mountain cracked and stones flew from it.

Both stone and wood moved and piled up where Ian spilled his blood, once lots of it was there, from his puddle of blood, white light came through and pulled the chest of gold from Ian's and Amelia's side and enveloped both the wood and stone extending to the surroundings.

The carriages where the vampires along with their elders rode arrived behind Ian, and all of them got out to watch the spectacular sight.

The white light took the shape of a castle and eventually disappeared, a high wall surrounding it, it was made of stone but painted black, a wooden gate painted black also but with golden lines painted on.

Ian smiled. And was the first to move to the front gate, it opened as if it knew who exactly who its master was.

Once opened, the ground was made from stone, the castle looks like a small but inside a staircase going underground was there clear for the eyes to see.

Beside the castle was a stable for horses, along with other small facilities, a wide empty space was there with stairs going to the wall.

Ian observed the beauty of it, his smile stretched from ear to ear and looked behind him at the vampires and stretched his arms wide open.

"Welcome brethren to our coven's newly built residence" when he said it, the vampires cheered, the elders along with Ian flashed inside the castle underground with their super speed leaving the normal vampires behind so they would get the carriages inside.

Although only Viktor remained with his daughter behind, as she is the only human around and he doesn't quite put his trust on the new vampires whose bloodlust hasn't been put under control yet, though he himself still hasn't acquired control, he couldn't hurt his daughter.

They tried it at his mansion, Sonja cut herself by the order of Ian to see how far Viktor would go to protect her, and sure enough it was proved right, he stood there unaffected by her blood while the others all hissed at it.

Ian explores the underground at super speed along with the elder vampires, on his tracks a screen beeped in front of him informing him of his new quest.

「Ding!」

「You have a new Quest」

「Quest: Evolve」

「Conditions: Reach level 100 and evolve your species」

「Rewards: [S] Random Ability, [S] Random Item」

Ian grinned, but deep in his thought he was wondering of how he would obtain that much blood to reach level 100, it would surely ruin him, make him a real monster, but shortly after as if he thought of something, his grin stretched further on his face.
