Chapter 2: Death?

*SLAM*

"hey kid, go to your room for a while I'll be busy"

'This already happened what's going on'

Dexter felt a sense of deja vu from Sam's words he was certain this already happened and then he saw it a flickering thin red screen that said-

'Profile, status, what the hell is this?!'

[this is your profile and your status or stats if you prefer provided by the BLOOD CODEX]

Dexter found the word codex familiar, he had seen it on that book.

[ indeed the BLOOD CODEX is from that book, though that was simply the BLOOD CODEX's physical form]

'What are you' Dexter asked while moving to his bedroom as he could hear Sam enjoying himself which he did not want to hear.

[I am an System Automatic Mechanism or S.A.M for short]

'I'd prefer not to call you that' he thought the name had a certain distaste to it considering it was his 'fathers' name.

[S.A.I is also satisfactory]

'Ok then, Sai did you reverse time or something why am I here again' Dexter couldn't help but feel unsettled but what made him even more so was the fact that he wasn't panicking right now.

[I did indeed, this setting is what is best for your tutorial, I am like those 'systems' from those fantasy books you used to read]

Dexter felt a hint of nostalgia he had long given up those books since they were unrealistic and he knew that he was just deluding himself.

He used to go to the library everyday and hop on their computers to read.

'If your like those systems, then how am I supposed to get stronger'

[ there are a multitude of ways ranging from quests to skills to blood]

'I understand the skills and the quests part but what exactly do you mean blood?'

[ I mean that you can use blood to get stronger, think of it this way consuming blood gives you 'exp' once you breach a certain amount of exp you 'level up' get stat points (What kind is not an option but depends on blood consumption points are automatically allocated)]

'Then how come I don't see a level on my status'
