Hey, wait a second. Where's my evolution option?
System! I demand it!
<…>
System?
<Answer: It appears the user cannot evolve. Enough energy is required, which hasn't been triggered after the Stage has increased… Perhaps you require to increase your Stage once more. This is an assumption but perhaps you've grown so strong already that the bar for evolution has been set higher for you now. I would assume you require to increase your Stage twice to Evolve now. So probably when you reach Upper Stage, you will be able to evolve.>
"Oh… and then how? How is this done?" I wondered.
<Answer: Most likely you can evolve every 1 Stage… So you evolved when you reached the Initial Stage, right? Then Middle Stage is skipped, you evolve at Upper Stage, and then, Peak Stage is skipped for you to be able to evolve at Rank 5 Initial Stage… It is not hard to follow>
I see… I guess we can save ourselves from the hassle of evolving… I am indeed quite strong as I am not, and I even grew stronger by just digesting some rocks with shiny colors, so my power is totally unfair. I get it. Let's just relax for now.
<Answer: I don't think it has anything to fairness or unfairness. Evolution is triggered when the body is infused with massive quantities of energy, which the body cannot properly take. Monsters have this effect, while those that cannot naturally evolve use this surplus energy to push forward their cultivation and utilize it to strengthen their bodies through techniques. For monsters such as you, this energy is instead used as fuel to boost your body's power and trigger evolution as you know it. Nonetheless, it is very rare for monsters to actually evolve with every single Stage Increased, this was an effect of the System, but as you've grown too strong, the System cannot use this energy to trigger evolution on you, and like most monsters, you have to wait a bit longer.>
The System A.I. had offered me a great response which I didn't expect. I can now understand things better, I guess.
I see! So that means that it was like a rookie bonus while I was still young and weaker.
<Answer: …Not exactly. But whatever you think it's fine.>
Are you calling me an idiot?
<Me? Why would I call my host an idiot…>
Okay, whatever. Thanks for the help though.
Now, into more important matters…
I must use this Vampiric Charm and see if it has any effects!
Vampiric Charm, activate!
FLASH!
Suddenly, I felt as if I was flashing with bright light.
Hahh~ Is this what being super handsome feels like? I can already see, vampires are always seen to be the most handsome Undead, is this because of this? They're really showered with cheats, to be honest!
But one of their greatest cheats is being super handsome bishonen!
"Benladann, look at my eyes," I said handsomely.
"Huh? Drake? Ah…!"
Is it working?!
"You got a bit of sauce in your lips… Fufu." She took cleansed my lips with a handkerchief.
"T-Thanks…"
It didn't work! Why?!
System! Give me an answer!
<Sigh… it is because Benladann is immune to all kinds of brainwashing effects or charm effects that don't come from her own powers. Her Charm Unique Skill has evolved to give her such power. Her Chaotic Soul also gave her a series of benefits, such as immunity to mental corruption.>
Wait! So my handsome vampiric charm is a mental corruption attack?!
Wow, that's awful, they're not even trying, they just brainwash people by being pretty… Okay, time to take this thing out.
I quickly took out the Skill and deactivated it, deciding to perhaps never use it, and throwing it away into the stash of useless Skills.
Maybe one day I would fuse it together or something, though even considering such a thing, I don't think there's any skill that could go well with it unless I ultimately get a Skill that can help me brainwash people.
At that point… I don't know what would be of me. So I better stop wondering stupid things.
"What's wrong dear?" asked Benladann.
"Hahh… N-Nothing… never mind!" I said.
"Huh?"
Benladann ended looking at me while raising an eyebrow. This is embarrassing! I'll never try stupid things like this again.
"A-Anyways, are you stuffed yet? How's the baby?" I asked.
"Oh, it is certainly stuffed already, I want to go take a nap, we didn't sleep through all of the night after all." Said Benladann.
"You're right, let's go back to our room so we can take a nap for the time being. Let's relax for now and take it easy." I said.
We moved back to our room as in the way, I checked the Teleportation Room.
This is a special room that will have Teleportation Traps settled in. people can enter this place and teleport to the Dungeon, and from the dungeon to here. It has strict security, and it is guarded by some of my clones and, well, of course, Fuyu too, so no weirdo gets in easily.
The Teleportation Trap/Gate is set inside of the room of the Dungeon Core, but still, it might not work well…
For the time being, we cuddled over the bed, and we used the bedsheets to cover us. Benladann's belly was slowly getting a bit bigger now, and she honestly looked more beautiful every day. It was as if becoming a mommy made her even prettier than she already was.
"Fweh… We can finally rest and cuddle… I want to snuggle with you forever…" she sighed in relief, as we rested our heads over the soft cushions.
"Same… Let's take a nap for now…" I sighed in relief.
Benladann rubbed her face over my chest and kissed me cutely. I kissed her forehead and caressed her long hair. Her body was warm and honestly, I didn't want to let it go from my arms.
We ended falling asleep right away, without a care about anything, at least for a few hours.
