ruins

"drink it while I'm gone" Gerhard throwed a plastic bag filled with blood to 'his second greatest achievement'

"I'm going out again, I will be back by an hour" Gerhard said while closing the ruined buildings door

while he was doing that he gave a slight glance at the box he had hidden away under the ruins

after he was gone the 'pineapple' gave a sigh of relief

she looked around the ruins that she was in, from the second she could see what was around her, all she saw were the walls of this room, well... there was a window that showed the outside, yet her 'grandfather' only opened it at night times

"well its not like I care" she said as she started to wonder around the place, even the simple act of breathing felt good to her

well the only thing she did when Gerhard was out or sleeping was digging out the ruins that were at one side of the building, after a long time of digging she saw a bit of a wooden texture so started to dig even faster and push the ruins out of her way, what was Infront of her face was a box with the highest grade of wood, engraved with gold, and sealed away, "primis" was written on it with huge letters, she tried to open the box, going as far as to even kick it with all her might but it didn't budge

'...im just wasting my time and breathe... its better if i try the things inside the other thing' she thought while staring at the huge sack

after opening it she simply stared at the content of the sack, it was... really

"its mesmerizing" she said while looking at the artifacts inside the sack, she stretched her hand and caressed the black blade of a long sword

while caressing it she accidently touched the edge of the sword and a bit of her blood started to flow on the long blade, flowing and flowing until the blood touched the handle of the sword, after which the sword started to slightly glow

two glowing lines appeared on the sword, and after a while about twenty runes filled the vicinity that was between the lines, after which the swords glow started to became dimmer and dimmer until the runes only gave a slight red dim light, she tried to hold the handle of the blade yet it was too heavy for her to probably pick up the blade

but she still tried to hold the sword and after a while of struggling she succeeded, yet she didn't stop there and started swinging the sword, well the sword slipped out of her hands and she fell a lot while committing to the act, but after a while her swings became more steady and fast, she swang the blade for so long that she lost herself in a trance and kept swinging mindlessly

"isn't that Gerhard? wasn't he well known as a thief and a scavenger"

"i heard that he retired after going into the vampire settlement, and that he stole everything that was of value even the clothing's of the most carcasses.... but he sold everything none vampire related at half the price"

"oh I heard about that too, there were rumors from other scavengers that he stole even a vampire infant"

"where do these rumors come from... but it seems the cleaners from 'pure blood' couldn't arrive before him, isn't it bit weird?"'

the people who were recognizing Gerhard couldn't help but be surprised, even as a mere scavenger he was pretty renown, most of it was due to the scavengers faction leader that came to personally give him a title, him being this renowned amongst normal folks wasn't really surprising

yet not even the ones closest to him knew why he came there, or was alive to begin with

"oh, isn't this the Gerhard? the one rumored to be dead? what is your business here Gerhard?" the shop owner asked with a big smile on his face

"an appraiser skill, and an awakening potion, give me a golden registration card while you are at it" Gerhard named all these items with a uncaring gaze, yet the things he had ordered were items needed for a 'citizen' to be registered and gain the ability to fight, and a gold registration card was something that only big names such as faction leaders and merchants could afford

the ones who were listening started coughing or sitting out any potions they were drinking or injecting into their arms, what the hell was Gerhard going to do with these items?

"Gerhard... you might not care at the slightest about the hunters and their pure bloods, but I do care about the dangers that the hunters faction posses to my business and life, specially what do you think will happen if the pure blood group hears about it?" the shop owner said while looking around at his surrounding noticing the ears that were listening, he really didn't want to get involved with the hunters faction, or their pure blood group

"i will pay double the normal amount" Gerhard said while himself staring at the surrounding from a corner of his eyes

"I-... it was a pleasure to work with you lord Gerhard" the shop owner said with the biggest smile he ever had, how could he not be happy? every single item that Gerhard wanted wanted were only available in black market, they were stolen directly from the government, and the government freely gave them away nobody really wanted to buy them

yet double the normal price? for something already that expensive? he could buy 10 shops and all of them would be thousands and thousands of times bigger than his current shop

after coming back with the items that he wanted, Gerhard grabbed them and inspected the items

"these are the real deal, I will give you the money" Gerhard headed out of the shop while leaving the ,shop owner in his own delusions...

Gerhard had left without paying and stole the items in process

---------------------------------------------

when Gerhard had reached the ruined sky scrapper that he hid in, he couldn't help but worry

while sweating buckets, he checked if anyone put a tail on him and started clenching his signature sack, it seemed that the pure bloods didn't receive the news about his arrival yet, with a sigh of

relief he started climbing the stairs, and when he opened the door he couldn't help but give out a sigh

'what's with her swinging... so she found the treasures huh... should I wake her up from her swinging trance?

his second biggest achievement was swinging a blade while being in a trance, he thought that it was absurd but left his blood sucking plant to go on with the swinging, while he was dropping few drops of the "appraisal skill" into his eyes, well they were not really as fantasy looking as they sounded like one, skills were not scrolls or books, but rather a form of medicine that tempered with your body and essence of the soul

'ahhh so annoying' Gerhard clenched his teeth while enduring the pain, it felt as if someone was forcing something onto him that didn't belong "there"

when he was done absorbing the skill his second biggest achievement had already gone out of her trance and was staring at him

'I want to scold this little fuck for touching the other treasures, but I rather awaken her arse and use it' Gerhard thought with a frown while staring at the eyes of his second biggest achievement

"come here and give me your hand"

his second biggest achievement gave her hand to him

"say accept" Gerhard said while staring blankly at mid air

"why?"

"none of your business"

after he heard her saying accept he started to move his eyes slightly

"none mature vampire noble... haha..." Gerhard laughed with a small amount of disappointment

yet he had already guessed something like this, unless she matured she couldn't turn him into a vampire, well what could he do but wait? he than released his grip on her arm and stared at some of her other status and titles, some looked unusual, yet some were natural for a vampire, he even saw a pineapple title somewhere in there, but well he could guess that some of the information's related to the fact that she was the last vampire and born out of a dead woman

"hmmm" Gerhard hummed while tossing the awakening potion towards her

"drink it"

she took the potion without much thought and started to drink it, yet when she drank it her body started to hurt, but after a small amount of time the pain subsided

"what the hell" Gerhard stared at her with confusion, the potion was said to directly awaken the soul, making it go through hell and come back, yet this brat didn't take that long time to recover? even if she was a vampire it was too fast...

even in myths the potion was said to be made by a otter god, it didn't make sense even if she was a vampire

'what is this' she thought while a big window that appeared Infront of her, there were some "words" on the screen that she could understand and read even though she never saw them

the screen looked somewhat like this

name : null

race : unmatured vampire noble

class : null - soul class : null

faction : null - group : null

skills : sword swing(class=trance) - prototype1-3{hid}(class=unknown)

titles : pineapple(0) - the last vampire(10) - blessed being{hid}(?) - cursed being{hid}(-?)

effects : awoken - blessed by god of death and misfortune - blessed by blood - tainted by death

while she was staring at the screen Gerhard gave her a golden card

"imprint it with your blood" he said while putting primis inside the sack he had hidden away and put the box nearby in it he was sure that "primis" wouldn't get damaged in the box that it was in

while getting ready Gerhard thrown a robe at the vampire who was staring at mid air like some retard

"get your ass ready we going outside" Gerhard said, and he also thrown a bracelet at her

it was the only thing she had left from her family, yet Gerhard felt it was unnecessary to tell her about it, it could block the effects of the sun, and some other stuff

"imprint that as well, also bring the sword that you were swinging around in your trance we are going outside..." Gerhard stopped talking and just simply started to think about a name to give her its been five years since he found her and he couldn't care less about a name for her, yet now a name seemed useful

"your name is senia" he named her after the number "second" well not like she could find out what her name meant

after she got ready Gerhard told her to follow him, after a long time the sun came out making senia flinch but it didn't hurt her it just felt uncomfortable

after walking for another hour and two they reached a city that looked chaotic, well it was better than the ruins that they lived in

the city had walls reaching 40 meters of height and was fully metallic, there were tubes and many wires running out on the walls while there also was several runes inscribed on the walls with 'three lines' in-between the runes, when they got closer to the city gates 10 guards came out from the wall

"show me your identity cards, now!" one of the guards asked, the guards looked like a mix between an ancient knight and someone who survived apocalypse, well his eyes were surely shakier than someone who survived an apocalypse

Gerhard thrown a copper card with a golden card, the knight cached them midair and read the contents, on the cards was just numbers without much meaning, but this was enough for the guards to feel more safe, the guard thrown the cards back at the duo and then all of the guards bowed down

"we welcome the golden master and their servant" the guards said at the same time
