Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

If someone ever told him that there was a person capable of gaining 60,000 power in only two years, he could only believe it if they told him that such a person carries the most amazing and exalted surname in the history of the race.

Only a Dietrich should have such an amazing ability, even if he does not know the history of other clans of the same era.

But only they should be able to grow at such a high speed. Not for nothing, they ruled this world for millions of years and are still the most respected ten million years later.

But was that possible?

He is not in the ancient era. The Dietrichs are known to have ceased to exist 10 million years ago or more. How could he be a Dietrich?

'But logic tells me that only they could grow at that speed... And his last name, is it a coincidence? Or is it false? I don't understand why no one doubted his last name when he said it… Maybe because it was an order from the Allens? What does Gray Allen think about it?' Reagan Cooper was confused after thinking about this.

He could no longer make sense of anything, so he sighed and sat down. "Forget it," he said and looked at Matt.

"I want to ask you something, is Miss Alice's power level as high as yours? Who is older between you and her?" he asked, and Matt shook his head.

"Her power is not as high, but she shouldn't disappoint. I think for her age, she's catching up with the other Heirs. And I wouldn't know who's older, but I think she is." Matt replied, and Reagan nodded.

"I understand. Boy, I have nothing to say to you. I'm shocked, and I don't know what I should think. So I'll just ask you one last question, how's your Vampire Mark?" he asked.

That made Matt frown. "Vampire Mark? That legendary vampire ability? Should I have it?" Matt asked, and Reagan Cooper nodded.

"Naturally, when you reach 50,000 power, you get it. Haven't you checked your abilities recently?" he asked, and Matt shook his head.

'Right, I checked my skills before 50,000. I didn't remember that I got that skill at that time, and that's why I forgot.' He thought, so he closed his eyes to look inside his body.

But he didn't need to check anything, for when he went inside to look at that book in his mind, a strange instinct hit him.

'Oh? So it's pretty simple to activate.' Matt thought and smiled. He opened his eyes once more and tried to activate it.

Vampiric power shuddered in the surroundings, causing a strange wind to be created with force and slammed into the surroundings. An intense aura of blood emerged from Matt's body, but soon after, everything returned to normal, and the growing energy in him disappeared.

This made him confused. 'I can't activate it?'

As he tried to figure out why, he realized it was because this Vampire Mark is actually a somewhat similar power to his Blood Transformation.

'The Blood Transformation is interfering with the activation... I see. This is quite troublesome.' Matt thought.

When trying to activate the Vampire Mark, the Transformation tried to activate, as it used the same activation mechanism: Blood. But in the absence of blood, the activation failed, as Matt didn't want to use his own blood to use that annoying ability, and the Vampire Mark required the blood of the bearer to activate.

'This is a bit of a problem; isn't it a glitch in the system? Shit, I thought this world was more perfect in that regard than Earth, but it can still fail.' Matt smiled a little after realizing this, but the truth was that it was problematic.

Getting rid of an ability, while possible, was not easy. And being a skill as powerful as that, the difficulty increased drastically. Besides, it's not wise to get rid of a skill as good as that.

'Tsk, I always knew that letting myself get wrapped up in my bloodlust and hatred would lead to no good.' He sighed and Reagan, who was waiting for an answer, was confused.

"What's wrong?" he asked and Matt shook his head.

"I can't activate it."

"Huh? Why?"

"There's an ability that's interfering with its activation. I have another ability that uses blood as a propellant and that ability is interfering with the Vampire Mark. I would have to get rid of that ability or find an alternative, but that's why I can't activate it."

"What? Is that possible?"

Reagan Cooper was in shock to hear something as absurd as that, which made Matt smile and nod.

"That's right, there are skills that can interfere with the activation of others because of some effect they have or the way they activate. Essentially, yes I can activate the Vampire Mark, but I don't want to because I would have to activate both abilities at the same time and the other ability is very problematic, only in emergencies should I activate it." Matt replied.

This alternative also existed and was available to him. And in that case, when he activated both abilities, his power could break a ceiling so absurd that few people would dare to face it in this world.

But that would possibly lead to his death.

Reagan Cooper nodded, though without much understanding. "I see, so you won't be able to activate the ability ever? That would be a huge setback for you as a vampire, as the Vampire Mark will give you a huge boost in your power and won't endanger your life, though there is a risk of losing your sanity."

Matt smiled, "No, if I get a Philosopher's Stone, I'll be able to separate the other ability from me. Since it's not a Core Ability like the Vampire Mark, it would be simple to do. But for that, I need a Philosopher's Stone." Matt replied, causing Reagan Cooper to choke on his own saliva.

"Cough, cough, cough..." He started coughing rapidly and looked at Matt in shock.

"A philosopher's stone!? And I never thought such a thing had that function!"

"Do you know of any place where I can find one? The Philosopher's Stone has many functions, among those, turning someone's Abilities into Stone, allowing it to leave the body."

Reagan Cooper put his hands to his head and returned to his seat after standing up abruptly. He felt that so much information would make his head explode and, therefore, hurt.

Still, he nodded.

"I know where there is one. It's the only one I have knowledge of in this world, in fact." He replied.

"Where?" Matt asked quickly, clearly interested in this.

"Central City. More precisely, in the Core of the Central City of the World. Guarded by terrifying people, which you can't possibly meet due to your friendship with Gray Allen."
