After leveling up Bernard couldn't wait to see if his energy points, second hp, and first life hp had recovered, but after he looked at it to his greatest surprise not only did his energy point not recover like he thought it would, but even his second life hp and first life hp did not recover, for the first time in his life he was finding it hard to understand what was happening, Bernard had a look of shock on his expression.
The reason he had leveled up in the first place was so he could recover his energy and lives back, but from what it could see it seemed like he might have expected too much from the system, it was like he was hoping for the impossible to happen.
His heart slightly ached when he looked at both his energy and hp's, especially his two health points it was needless to say the whole thing had left a very deep impression on him, if he had only lost points in his first life he wouldn't have been this worried since he still had his second life.
However, it was the opposite not only had he lost the majority of his first life he didn't even have any points to his second life, at this moment he was extremely vulnerable he was like a superman that had kryptonite stuck deep in his chest, not only could he not recover his two hp's but he could also not fight as well, for fear of losing any more health points.
Although his perception, energy, and health points might have increased after successfully leveling up, but that was all there was to it. At this point, he could only run for his life if he was to see even a magical beast, as he stood there if he felt like something had just been taken out of him. Everything so far made him understand.
Even though he was a vampire and had a system this wasn't a movie, a game, or even an anime where he was the main protagonist with an overpowered plot armor to bail him out of any situation, although he was different from most symbiote users at the same time he wasn't that different even if he could come back to life if he was killed once it came at a price.
This was reality, although he was strong there were still countless numbers of people who were stronger than him, he didn't need to let the fact he was special get in his head, anything that made him do that would be the day he stopped being special.
Bernard tried to comfort himself over his situation, but as if to make him feel even worse than he already was he suddenly got a notification message, when he read it he didn't know if he should laugh or cry about it. He was just fucking complaining about one, another one was coming to hit him right in his face.
[You have become thirsty]
[Drink blood to quench your thirst][You have failed to drink blood][Blood Storage activation has failed]
[Without blood you can no longer quench your thirst or your hunger][Your first life will now begin to decrease by -1Hp every hour until you have drunk human blood]
Bernard kept staring at the message, if anyone was to look at his expression at the moment they would think he was confused and couldn't understand what had been sent to him by the system, rather that was the opposite.
He understood everything perfectly but at the same time he could as if his life was about to slip away from his life, he didn't know what would happen when his first life reached zero but he was sure he might likely go into a slumbering state.
When Benard thought about this he felt slightly afraid of what would happen to his body after entering a slumbering state. Judging from the previous incidents it had left a deep impression on him, it was no longer about sleeping, it was the fact once he entered that state he wouldn't wake up again until he drank blood.
Not only were his energy points low which at this point had become more or less useless, but even his blood storage was also useless as well, he had used everything in the fight that he was now left with nothing, and what's worse his body was no longer healing itself it was supposed to die naturally.
He had lost too much blood for his body to heal, not only that but he was beginning to be hungry from losing too much blood, and at the same time, he also needed to consume human blood. otherwise, he should just kiss goodbye to recovering himself, with this he wasn't too far away from entering an eternal slumber.
As Bernard was about to close the system, all of a sudden he felt like he needed to sleep but the feeling wasn't much but it was just there and stuck out like a sore thumb, he couldn't help but yawn a bit slightly and soon he began to walk back to the vault, at this moment he wanted nothing more than to lie on the soft and comfy floor of the vault.
Due to losing too much blood, his body was now beginning to feel as if he needed to rest himself by falling asleep. At first, Bernard was too sleepy to understand what was going on, until he had reached the vault midway that was when realization dawned on him, striking his senses back to reality and making him break out in cold sweat.
As Bernard looked at where he was he realized he had been walking straight back to the vault, what's worse was the fact all he wanted to do was sleep even though the feeling was not much, he could feel it lingering inside his mind, head and thoughts as if it was a ghost. Bernard felt lucky.
That he had not entered the vault yet otherwise, the moment he laid down he would definitely have fallen into a deep slumber and for only God knows how long, as he thought about it he realize due t the fact he had slept there before his body and senses had classified that place as a perfect sleeping zone for him, and was the reason why he was being led to the place.
'I only have thirteen points in my hp left, which means I have only thirteen hours or so left before I fall into a slumbering state, however, it wouldn't happen before my hp reaches zero. But then that's only if I don't meet anything that might make me use my blood base skills and abilities, or even worse get injured along the way by something.
'Which is the most annoying thing since it would be difficult not to meet any life-threatening situation in a place like this where magical and demon beasts could be seen almost everywhere, thankfully my perception has now reached six meters which I can use to scout out my environment, at least with that I wouldn't be worried about being caught off guard by any beasts.'
While Bernard was thinking he was having a little battle inside his mind, as he kept struggling not to fall asleep, however, his body kept convincing him over and over perhaps he should just sleep a little, after all.
It was a little sleep that wouldn't hurt him in any way, but then he knew better than anyone what would happen the moment he closed his eyes and fell asleep it would literally be a one-way ticket to death.
Bernard struggled for a while until eventually, he managed to suppress the sleepy feeling lingering inside his mind, which was the only thing he could do. He didn't know how long he would be able to hold on until the feeling came back, it was only silent but not gone.
After thinking for a while, Bernard began to access his situation properly, it was one thing that in thirteen hours time he would fall into slumber and it was another thing he couldn't just stay in a one-way place while waiting for help to come to him after all
It was a fact the academy might not even come for him if he didn't make any attempt to call for help which meant he couldn't stay there, if he did there was a chance he would not only miss the chance to leave the planet but he might also come into contact with more demon beasts.
After all, he had just killed one, it was needless to say it would definitely attract the attention of the same species.
'Fuck it, I have no choice but to look for help myself.'Bernard kissed his teeth and decided on what to do, it wasn't that he couldn't stay in one place and wait for help, but it was too dangerous especially since he had only 13 health points and he had just killed a demon beast, a powerful one at that not quite long.
Even though he knew it was nigh impossible for the academy to even remember him, he didn't want to lose all hope. It was better to try than not try, and of course, he knew why the academy didn't give a fuck about him, he wasn't from a powerful organization, not even an heir or a powerful symbiote user with huge potential.
However, if he only knew the academy and all its upper echelon thought he had all those things, what's more, what he didn't know was they were clearly doing everything within their power to locate the planet he had entered, to them he was an abomination an illegitimate heir of two aboriginals.
Just thinking about what two aboriginals could do to them, made the academy scared shitless, they were their worst nightmares. Just one aboriginal was already a huge problem, not to mention two of them.
