Sitting around a table in the centre of the soundproof room were Dracul and Kai. Dracul said, "Listen up Kai what I am about to tell you is off crucial importance, the only reason is that you being told this information is because you are one of the main reasons that caused this disaster…"
But he was cut off by Kai and was asked by him " Who are you? Previously you never answered me."
"As you know my name is Dracul, one of my many identities, as you have probably guessed, is the current vampire progenitor. But you are also one and that causes me to be curious about your situation. However, it isn't important now just listen."
Dracul had currently just dropped a bombshell on Kai and continued his previous topic without considering how important this meeting is to him.
"What do you mean just listen. You have just told me that you are the progenitor, but I require your help…" Kai was cut off by Dracul who told him "Listen to me then we will get to your problem.
First are you aware of the True Dragon of Darkness Dahak." Seeing Kai's look of bewilderment, he sighed and said "I see that you don't know. In ancient times there were two true dragons: The True Dragon of Light Sheridan and the True Dragon of Darkness Dahak.
After fighting for many millennia Sheridan managed to seal Dahak inside an extremely powerful seal. He destroyed his physical body and sealed his soul within countless layers of magical confinements.
But recently someone has disturbed the weakening confinements and released him. It wouldn't be an issue if he could be sealed again, as he was weakened by the millions of years inside the confinements and was harmless.
But as soon as he was released he absorbed all of the magical energy of a King class being, giving him enough power to regain all of his former prowess.
And now he has completely regained his power and may finally destroy the world."
"Wait, wait, I don't understand some of the things that you have said. The first is the confinements that were meant to keep him in place, they should be able to stop a dragon that can bring the apocalypse, right? So then shouldn't they stop me?
Another thing is the king class, what exactly does that mean? I have never heard of that before."
Dracul suddenly looked at Kai with a dumbstruck expression. "Nobody has ever told you about the classifications that were given after the A rank."
"No, should I know of them."
"Of course, you should as a king class being you should fully know how much beings on the same level as you are at as well as the treaty between transcended beings."
"Once again you are using terms that I don't understand, what is a transcended being?"
Dracul looked at him wearily and said with a sigh. " A transcended being is an entity that has surpassed the normal magical creatures and humans. Also known as the rankings.
(a/n: The rankings start from E- A. I've mentioned it before in chapter 17.)
The transcended beings are divided into 4 levels which are based on the being's combat level. The first level is the Lord level. It is known as Lord because it allows the being to rule over the non-transcended beings with his outstanding power. There are no clear boundaries inside the transcendent levels, therefore, they can cause confusion.
A King can amount to barely being able to face 10 A+ magical creatures or hundreds of thousands of A+ creatures. Therefore, it is incredibly difficult to know a transcendent being's strength. As a result, many Lord class beings tend to be cautious and don't antagonize each other unless it is necessary.
Above the Lord class is the King class, in this level as the name suggests a King can easily defeat lord class beings without trying. Like the lord class, the King class has no specific way of measuring strength, it doesn't matter if you have a large amount of energy or tremendous levels of physical strength. There are only a few King class beings in the known world, amassing to only a total of a few hundred.
After the King class, there are no longer any undefined ways to judge the next class. It is known as the Emperor rank, to be categorized as an Emperor the being must be able to break through the speed of light and control a specific law. It can be regarding elements or just pure physical force or even the unknown.
There are even rare beings that can control laws regarding the mind and imagination.
At this level, an Emperor can easily defeat hundreds of kings without receiving any injuries. There are only tens of Emperors in the world and they are usually hidden unwilling to show themselves unless it's necessary, because whenever they make move a natural disaster happens as a result of their attunements to the laws of nature.
The last known level is the demigod level. There has only been one that has been classified as a demigod- The True Dragon of Equality. This class and its requirements are completely unknown.
However, there are other classifications that are in between and are known as a Pseudo class. A pseudo-class is given that title when they manage to achieve one of the requirements to be promoted to the next class.
They don't manage to receive any large increase of strength, well actually nobody gets a drastic increase of strength when they are promoted to the next class. They are just given the next "title" or the next class.
The True dragon of Darkness is at the Pseudo demigod class. He holds an unmeasurable amount of strength and from my sources, I have discovered that he will attack the academy in two more days."
This seemed suspicious to Kai. 'Why would he attack the academy? It couldn't be after him again. Would it want to absorb the blood orb? Perhaps the blood orb had something in it that could promote it and cause it to fulfil the last condition to reach the demigod stage?'
"Why is he coming to the academy Dracul?" Kai asked.
"I believe that there are two reasons, the first and the main reason is that he wants revenge. I was one of the people that helped seal him away. The second is to do with you, there seems to be something that attracts you to him and he wants to get it."
'Shit, what should I do?' Kai thought in despair. But then he remembered that Dracul came to him and perhaps he had a solution.
He looked at Dracul with suspicious eyes before saying quick-wittedly, "I'm willing to strike a bargain with you. I'm sure you have something that you need from me otherwise you wouldn't have come to me. I'm willing to help you and in exchange, you will give me what I want."
Dracul looked at Kai with interest and praise before saying "I'm listening."
"I don't know what you want, but in exchange for my help, you will tell me how you got rid of your [Berserk's] symptoms. This alliance will continue until Dahak is either sealed again or dead."
"I agree," Dracul stated. "Now I will teach you how to create a magical contract so nobody breaks the contract." After explaining and setting it up they both created the agreement and finished it by each of them covering their hands with their own specific energy and pressed their hands onto the contract.
What was written on the contract was in exchange for receiving a small amount of Kai's vampire essence(his venom) and in exchange Dracul would tell Kai his own experience regarding his own version of the berserk trait. If any of them would break the contract their souls would be destroyed and in case that would happen then their energy would be abolished.
I know that this power system is different. I tried my best to show that these levels aren't a breakthrough to another realm. They are Titles that allow the Transcendent beings to understand what level they have reached. They don't receive any large increase in power.
