Chapter 141 Submit
I sucked Johnny's blood and then bit my own wrist and forced him to swallow my blood. He tried to spit it out, but I held his nose closed until he swallowed it.
"Ptuh! What did you just do?" Johnny said.
"I turned you into a vampire. Duh," I said.
"Oh, is that all?" He said.
Dark red veins started to make their way up out of his shirt collar and onto his face. His eyes rolled back and he started shuddering.
"Oh, come on! It's not that bad!" I said.
Johnny started muttering, "Dylan. No, don't go. Dylan!" He sat bolt upright and looked at me. "Oh fuck, what was that? I was in love with you, and this shitty asshole had stabbed me because I wanted out of the business. That was weird. Wait, I'm the shitty asshole. Fuck. What's going on?"
'System. What's happening to him?'
[Analyzing... He had accidentally swallowed a small amount of Mel's blood when he was getting rid of the body, and his vampire body retroactively activated the blood memory of her death in his mind]
'What does that mean?'
[It means you may not have to punish him after all. He's been turned into a Trauma Vampire]
'What's a trauma vampire?'
[It's more of a curse than an ability, but a trauma vampire is a vampire that feeds through blood only, but whenever they do, their body automatically activates blood memories, but instead of knowing a person's memories, they experience them as if they were their own. Trauma memories are the most vivid, so they experience those memories more intensely than others]
'Wait so they experience their victims' traumas? That sounds awful, but also exactly what Johnny deserves.'
[Such is the power of an omni-vampire. All of the vampires they turn change into something based on their personalities and the will of the omni-vampire themselves]
'Wait, I did this?'
[Somewhat, yes]
'Oh. Well. It is what I wanted, so I can't complain. Can you check his loyalty rating? I kind of need him to have high loyalty before I can trust him as a subordinate.'
[His loyalty rating is infatuated]
'What? He's infatuated with me now? How does that help me?'
He got up and put his hands up. "I don't want to hurt you Dylan, but I will. I'm warning you!"
"I'd like to see you try. I own you in here," I said. I pulled blood from the pool using my blood manipulation and made a huge blood fist around my fist. Then I uppercut him with it. He flew up in the air and I punched him up again when he fell back down.
Then, this time when he fell down I caught him and then slammed him into the ground as hard as I could. I heard his bones shatter. He couldn't get up anymore.
I grabbed him by the collar again and said, "Submit!"
"I don't want to. I'm afraid of what will happen if I do," he said.
"That you'll become subservient to me? That you'll have to do what I say? That you'll become an incredibly strong vampire who nobody can fuck with? That you'll be a soldier in my army?" I said.
"That actually doesn't sound that bad," he said.
"Then, submit!" I said.
"I can't!" He said.
I slapped him. Then I slapped him again from the other side. And again and again and again. His face was starting to swell up when he put his hands up and said, "Ok, ok! I submit!"
A bolt of red lightning came down from the rain clouds and struck him. It didn't transfer into me somehow. It just zapped him. He shook from the electrocution, but his wounds began healing before my eyes.
The lightning stopped and he said, "I have submitted to you. May I get up now?"
"Yes, you may." I said, hesitantly. I got up off of him and offered him a hand up which he took.
Once he was standing, he put his hand out to shake mine. I shook it. A smile made its way onto his face and he said, "I think it will be a pleasure working for you, Dylan. I hope we have a better relationship going forward."
"Yeah, me too," I said. It weirded me out a little.
'System? What's going on?'
[He submitted. That means he will follow any command you give him. His loyalty doesn't matter anymore because he cannot take any action against you. He will retain his original personality except for when it conflicts with your needs]
[His personality will change drastically over time as he accumulates more and more trauma from his victims and he develops a deeper empathy for the pain of others]
'Ok. Thank you. I think I'm going to speed up that process by making him feed on his henchmen.' Your journey continues with empire
[Very well]
