"I've earned the talent to Manipulate Reality," Cain spoke looking at the millions of red lines scattered throughout his vision.

Cain raised his hand and gently with his fingertip touched the red line. When Cain touched the red line, a red ripple appeared in space and began to slowly change things, but the ripple did anything, it disappeared.

The talented to Manipulate Reality and skill quite suited to his style, so Cain is quite pleased with his talent.

Unlike Fran who could destroy everything that exists, his power is more for support from afar than offensive from close up.

Of course, Cain still doesn't know how to control his talent, but it's only a matter of time before he learns to control his ability perfectly. But Cain has already planned a way to accelerate the understanding of his Ability.

"Great! With such great power, you can be the king of vampires and help the Scarlet Family out of this millennia-long humiliation." Hearing Cain's words, Ettore spoke by breathing heavily as his cheeks reddened. The euphoria he's feeling now cannot be described in words.

The other families don't know it, but Ettore knows it very well. The Scarlet family is a direct descendant of the vampire's own progenitor, Count Vlad Tepes Dracula. The humiliation of hiding, the family's real surname for so long, has driven all the Scarlet family patriarchs mad. And now with the power of his son, they have a chance to get out of this humiliation that has always tormented their ancestors. So how can he not be euphoric and full of happiness with this great news?

"Ettore Tepes Scarlet! Be careful, Cain and only one child, so don't put all that weight on his shoulders, otherwise, you'll regret it. "Seeing the uncomfortable look on Cain's face, Selene shouted furiously at Ettore, who awoke from the state of extreme happiness and realized the words he himself said.

"I'm sorry, honey, I got too excited." Knowing he was wrong, Ettore looked with a look of apology at Cain and spoke to Selene in a somewhat sad voice.

Cain was not uncomfortable because his father spoke all the ambition of the Scarlet family, he was uncomfortable because he felt a monstrous wave of anger filling his whole heart after he heard the words of Ettore.

"My love, are you all right?" Selene, though calm with Ettore's apologies, still looked coldly at her husband, and then turned her head to look at Cain as she asked him if he was feeling better.

"I'm fine, Mom, I'm just a little uncomfortable," Cain spoke repressing that gigantic anger in his heart and looked at Selene and Ettore with a gentle smile on his rosy lips.

"By the way, Mom, you can get me a pair of clothes, I'm still naked," Cain told Selene a little embarrassed. Although he doesn't mind showing his body to Selene and Ettore, he still has to have a little conscience.

"Your clothes have been prepared, only you choose which one." Seeing the anxiety disappear in Cain's face, Selene kindly snapped her fingers and ten sets of clothes appeared floating in front of Cain.

Cain took a long-sleeved white shirt and black leather pants that fit his body perfectly and got dressed.

"Come on, I want to see my two dear sisters," Cain spoke to Ettore and Selene as he began to walk slowly on the cold ground of the cave with elegance.

Although Cain did not realize it, Selene realized that each movement of her son exhaled an absurd sensuality as if unconsciously his body was drawing anyone near him.

"He can't control his power..." that was the only possibility Selene thought of looking over Cain's broad shoulders. She thought it looked lighter as if a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.

As the father, mother and son spiraled up the staircase. In the deepest place of the lake of blood was a black coffin with a golden cross on the lid.

Inside the coffin, a totally intact corpse rested in silence when suddenly the corpse smiled slightly and whispered some words that appeared directly in Cain's mind.

"Child, sometimes the world doesn't need another hero. Sometimes what it needs is a monster. Become the most terrifying monster this world has ever seen."  Count Vlad Tepes Dracula's words echoed in Cain's mind, which showed a look so cold that the world around his body seemed to lose its color.

Inside the Castle of Eternal Night

The moment Cain opened the iron door with just a light touch of his hand, two small figures jumped into his arms as they screamed at the same time. "Brother!"

"Brother, Fran wants to play Princess!" The little blonde girl was the first to speak, she looked at Cain with her big red eyes shining with joy and happiness.

"No, he'll play with me! Brother..." as Remilia was about to finish speaking, she looked up and saw Cain's older face and was shocked.

"Hey! How you got older, teach me." Remilia quickly came out of shock and spoke with an anxious expression on her fluffy face.

"You have nothing to teach, wait till you turn sixteen and you'll grow up." Seeing those eyes full of hope, Cain didn't hesitate and lie to her face.

In his mind, Cain can only apologize for Remilia because he knows, she will not grow up. In Touhou practically all women are lolis and Remilia will not escape this curse.

"Sixteen is not far away, just two years to go." Although disappointed at not being able to grow up fast, Remilia still showed a look full of determination and promised that she would grow up.

Cain looked at the girl in his arms, with a bit of an apology but soon he started carrying them both to the dining room, he is starving.
