"Trevor. What I'm about to tell you is very confidential and you should in no way reveal it to anyone, regardless of whoever they are except of course, your subordinates." Ethan said to Trevor with a very serious face and tone causing chills down his spine. He had released a bit of his aura in the process, causing Trevor to feel the pressure of whatever secret he was going to tell him.
"Good. What I'm going to tell you is about us, our race."
"It seems you are following. We are not vampires, at least not the real vampires we know of."
"Huh? What the hell is that? Then what are we?"
"Geez lemme finish. We are not vampires but beings beyond vampires. You know of the Vampire Progenitor, right?"
"Yeah. The one who leads and controls all vampires..."
"Yes, but what if I told you that he's just a pawn, one of the many servants of the actual leaders and controllers of all vampires."
"You mean to say that there's something above even the progenitor?"
"What do you mean by "us"?"
"I mean we are those beings above the vampire progenitor or progenitors if there are more."
"What nonsense is this? You expect me to believe it?!"
"I know it's hard to believe it but it's reality. How do you even think I knew of this?"
"You are finally using your head. It was hard to believe for me too but it's real. Do you remember what happened in Babel's Hive?"
"How the gargoyle elders tried to kill us with everything they had?"
"Yeah. Do you think they will go that far and be willing to sacrifice a lot of gargoyles just to kill two newly born vampires?"
"Now that you say it, it is very strange. Is it because of what we are?"
"Yep. They wanted to nip whatever we were in the bud when we somehow killed that elder before we evolved. They felt the power or whatever we released and knew what we were and planned to kill us to end it."
"Sheesh! I still can't believe I nearly died three times in the Beast Plane. So, what are we exactly?"
"We are Blood Primogenitors."
"Primogenitors. The vampire progenitor title was derived from our name. We are the origin, the beginning of all blood essence beasts, and blood essence night creatures as well as our first ever successful creation, the vampires. All blood essential creatures, including vampires are from us and they are in our control. We are basically gods for these creatures, and we also have a strong and powerful affinity with blood unlike normal vampires. We do not just have the ability to use blood for healing, or survive on blood or cause bloodlust in people or any kind of that shit, no. You can say we have the full and unaltered affinity of Blood. So, you basically have two affinities now, Smoke and Blood and I have Psychic, Earth and Blood."
"Wait you have Psychic?"
"Is that all what you heard from what I said?!"
"That is the most normal among all what you said."
"Yeah, I have the Psychic affinity now. Angitia evolved and gained enlightenment, and our affinity also evolved into its full form, Psychic."
"Damn. You are so lucky. But from what you said, we are like very powerful right?"
"So do we have any weaknesses?"
"We should've had but as we are Blood Primogenitors, the normal weaknesses of vampires do not apply to us. Sunlight, holy stuff, etc. They do not really apply to us but for now, we will feel all the pain and sensations that come with being in contact with any of this stuff."
"That is because we weren't born or created Blood Primogenitors, we became Blood Primogenitors. We literally skipped levels and reached the top but that is not all. The system is keeping our abilities and powers as Blood Primogenitors sealed and releasing it in bits for us because if we have our powers now that we are this week, we will die and not without causing a literal apocalypse first. Everyone you know and love will die by your own two hands and no one except the gods can stop you."
"Yeah. I know that look so that is how it is now. But the system will assign us quests and missions to complete which gradually strengthen us till we can control our own powers and from my estimations, hopefully by the time we reach the Expert level, we will be fully fledged Blood Primogenitors. For now, we are going through a trial of self-actualization to gain our full abilities and powers."
"That is a bit reassuring. So, what of how to turn others into vampires?"
"Oh that, it's actually very simple. You just need to feed the person your blood, just a drop would do."
"... You got to be kidding me."
"Wait... what were you expecting? Some ritual?"
"Yeah? That's what I learnt of how vampires turn others."
"I just freaking told you, you are not a vampire. You are their origin."
"It's still hard for me to accept it, sorry."
"Let me break it down for you, okay? Let's take for example sperms..."
"What has it got to do with this? Are you trying to mock me?"
"Even though I would love to, but no. Sperms are literally made up of billions of "babies", so is our blood. It is literally made up of billions of vampires, even progenitors. Our blood is everything we need to make new vampires, so we don't any stupid ritual to get vampire subordinates. Besides, just the smell of our blood can make all vampires fall to our feet just to get a drop of it."
"So basically, I can create a new progenitor?" Trevor said with a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Woah! Relax bro. You can do that but that is different from creating a normal vampire. One, the vampires you create will have some of your qualities. Two, you will have to configure what kind of vampire you want them to be, whether a progenitor, a noble, a servant or slave or the ghoul special class. Three, if you make any mistake, they will die."
"Yeah. So, you will first need to practice how to do it before you try anything. For now, creating a servant and a noble will be simple, but the special class ghoul and progenitor will be difficult as they have certain requirements you have to meet for it to be successful."
"And how am I supposed to know these requirements?"
"The system will show us all that. Now that your subordinate level has risen, you will access to some special things. I just had to make you aware of the power you possess, that's all. And also, we are stronger than our peers in the same level."
"Yep. The beasts in the beast plane are stronger than their peers in this world, so if you are able to beat and even kill beasts in the beast plane, then the ones here will be literally pieces of cakes for the taking."
"Hahaha! The upcoming outing will be fun!"
"Outing? What outing?"
"Oh, so you haven't heard?"
"We will have a beast outing after a month when we reopen."
"Why don't you seem happy?"
"I battle beasts in another world almost every day..."
"I don't swing that way."
