Vampire Cultivation System in a Hidden World of Monsters

Chapter 45 Shikasa, Goddess of Vampires and Queen of the Night

Did that mean one of my parents was a vampire god? It couldn't have been my Dad because he got killed, right? Or could vampire gods get killed? Assuming it wasn't my Dad, that left my mom.

Did that mean my mom was Shikasa, the goddess of vampires, and Queen of the night? Man, that was a long title. But my mom died from cancer. Right? I mean, I saw her laying in bed a lot looking very sick.

And she went into the hospital a few times from complications, until they finally sent her home on hospice care. I saw her wither away until she was skin and bones.

I never saw her body when she died, but my dad told me he was there when it happened. I went to her freaking funeral! She had asked to be cremated though so there was no body to look at and verify if she had died. I never thought I'd have to.

If my mom was Shikasa, it would make sense why she favored me and gave me the system, but what then? Am I not allowed to visit her? Am I not allowed to see my own mother? What's the problem? Why did she leave?

I had so many questions and so few answers. I perused through the system menu while I was riding. I'm such a responsible driver I know. I checked the factions tab. The factions tab just told me my relationship with other factions.

Technically, it didn't tell me my personal relationship with other factions. It told me what relationship my faction, the vampires, had with other factions. I supposed that it would tell me my personal relationship if I started my own faction.

There was a button in the corner of the screen that said [Start New Faction+]. That was how I knew I could start one. I didn't feel ready for that yet. I still had an ok relationship with the vampires, despite three of the families being out to kill me, and I didn't have many people to fill a faction with.

I would get to it eventually. I was sure of it. Just not yet. I still had a lot of training to do. Finally, I looked at the tab I had been wanting to look at this whole time.

I opened the "Shikasa's Blessings" tab.

[Shikasa's Blessings]

[Favor: 110]

[Blessings threshold unlocked: 1]

[Threshold 1 Blessings] [Blessing of Gold] [Blessing of Protection] [Blessing of the Day]

[Threshold 2 Blessings][Locked]

"Did you pay the lady?" He asked.

"Yes. I did. Something interesting happened when I did it, that I have to discuss with you," I said. "Oh and by the way..."

'System, please transfer the six hundred thousand gold giblets to Master Ravenkin.'

[There is no appropriate receptacle or surface to deposit that amount]

'Just do it, please.'

[Beginning transfer]

Behind Ravenkin, gold giblets started pouring out of the air onto the ground. I quickly stepped inside and closed the door so they couldn't bounce out.

They continued pouring for several minutes until there was a huge pile on the floor.

"There is your money," I said.

"Uh, thanks. I hadn't quite picked out a place to put them, so the floor is as good a place as any, I guess. I didn't expect it to be so big," he said.

"Most women don't," I said, and winked.

"That's very funny," he said without laughing.

"They don't!" I said. "It's the truth!"

"That aside, what did you have to talk to me about?" He said.

"You might want to sit down for this," I said.
