Best thing I could do for myself right now as I wait for the Notary to arrive is get an understanding of my titles and abilities better. It would also help to see what my racial abilities have been limited to as well.
MOD Player
You are no longer bound by the laws of your old world, the people of the land recognise you as one of their own. Players will not be able to easily distinguish you as an anomaly. You have full access to system features except logging out.
[Quest Creation] - Locked
New Blood!
You are one of a kind! Fully awaken your bloodline for you are the progenitor of your kind!
The [Mod Player] title was a given, but it seems like I won't be able to give quests until after the system update right before the Players arrive.
[New Blood] is a good one in it's own way but is definitely a headache until I'm strong enough to protect me and mine. From the lore I'm pretty sure there are only a little bit more than a handful of [True Ancestors] that all other vampires descend from.
Even if there are new “ancestors” born later they're usually snuffed out so that the political balance can be maintained.
Each [True Ancestor] bloodline descendants have their own set of abilities they rule over. I know one bloodline can control the basic 4 elements, while another has a very peculiar magick that they use with beasts and the certain beastman.
My Father's bloodline gained strength from drinking blood. And not the usual “oh I'm hungry I need to feed!” but more along the lines of, if they drank from someone stronger they would see an increase in their stats from it.
It seems my own abilities stem from that but are stronger in their own way. Like the way I can manipulate blood itself doesn't seem to be within their repertoire! Although i can't be entirely sure until all my racial traits manifest.
Ancestors blood
Has there ever been a [Dhampir] that became an ancestor and lived to tell the tale? Your superior blood gives you inborn knowledge.
Descendents through birth or bite are compelled to take your word and will as their own.
Be warned some have been known to look for ways around your compulsion
《Your influence is weakened until first awakening.》
《Descendents are greatly weakened until your first awakening》
《Innate knowledge suppressed until your first awakening》
Ancestors eyes
Your eyes show you the truth of the world. Current level can see through illusions. Ability ranked below [Dragon Eye] [Eye of origin] [Gods Eye]

《Identify - Locked》
《Analyse - Locked》
《Appraisal - Locked》
《Detect Lie - Locked》
《Judgment - Locked》
《Glamour - Suppressed》
《Spirit Sight - Suppressed》
《Essence Sight - Suppressed》
Blood Sovereign
You are the source of blood for generations to come. Your sovereignty stretches beyond those bound to you. All blood feels the call of your power. Conquering the blood of others is in your nature!
《Dominate - Locked》
《Blood Arts - Suppressed》
I couldn't help but rub my chin, this is a bit disheartening since there are only a few ways to go through a bloodline awakening.
Normally the people of the land would go out and hunt a magick beast one rank above them to do the awakening. Its especially tough for those without money or background to aid them.
Finding and keeping alive D Rank beasts like hobgoblins, Kobolds, or even a black or grey wolves is tough since they're community and pack oriented beasts.
If you're lucky enough to capture one and bring it back, you can use their beating heart and a few other ingredients to trigger the awakening.
For normal bloodlines what you use for the awakening doesn't matter. But someone like lady rose probably had a lightning based beast prepared for her awakening before hand to help increase her lightning affinity.
That's also the merit of having money, you could just hire other people to do the annoying work for you. I wouldn't be surprised if she's raising beasts to use for her own children's sake when the time comes.
Breaking through your bloodline level limit could also commence an awakening for you, but it becomes much harder to breakthrough all following bottlenecks.
People in similar situations as myself have to try and get lucky and gather the attention of a God and then with a stroke of luck trigger the awakening quest line..
But that's the equivalent of becoming one of their bitches until the end of days. They could also lay heavy restrictions on you if you're disobedient or displease them in anyway.
“I'll take my chance waiting for a [SSS] rank bloodline to appear before become a servant of the Gods. It's also counterproductive to the mission I've been tasked with from the company.
From what I understand the Gods in this world are just different AI’s fighting for supremacy. Who has time to be a pawn?”
It is a bit disappointing though, my racial abilities, at least the ones I can see anyway all seem to be domineering to the extreme hehehe.
“I'll have to see if I can find any loopholes!”
Moving my attention back to my status window I couldn't help but anticipate breaking the system in my favor.
Familiar Mark
Since ancient times familiars have been used by those who wield magick at all levels. Most notable cases of using Familiars, was to use them as a conduit to draw power through ley lines and dragon pulses.
Familiars may assimilate and use powers of their master as the bond gets stronger. With an increase of the bond, racial traits may be shared between the familiar and master. With time new abilities may arise
《Familiar limit - 4》
Dhampirs Physique
Your blood carries the traits of Vampire, Blood Fiend Were Leopard, Human, and something Dark.
《Physical Attributes x1.5 - Transformation x2.5》
《Instant Regeneration》
《High Poison Resistance》
Transformation
That human form is but a shell hiding the monster inside
《Vampire Form - Suppressed》
《Blood Fiend Leopard Form - Suppressed》
《Demon Form - Locked》
《True Form - Locked》
“Okay, now that's a bit interesting. I have a demon form and a “true” form but they're both locked. I hadn't been expecting much with this ability in the beginning but this “True Form” is enticing to say the least..

This leaves me feeling a bit philosophical almost… who am I if I don't even know what I actually am?
Clearly the AI did more improvising than I thought when it created my avatar.”
Usurper
Don't be afraid to crack open a few veins, the stronger they are, the closer you get to their source, the more of their blood you drink, the more likely it is for you to gain strength from them. Mild chance to gain abilities and skills from your meal~!
Food Chain
Be it Servant, Familiar, Decedent, or even Contractee! If they grow stronger you grow stronger, as well as when you grow stronger so do they!
Essentia
For eons humanity has used the power of the heavens to shape the world around them - Mana, Ki, Chakra, Divinity but few have questioned the essence behind these powers - you have awakened to [Lesser Energies] your possibilities are limitless
Create Spell
Creativity and ingenuity are your strong points! Crafting new spells becomes 70% easier
“I guess I'll have to work on my phobia when it comes to being unclean. It's just whenever I feel nasty my anxiety just starts running full throttle and it's hard to bring myself out of that state once it starts.
But I don't know, I might be willing to deal with the crushing feeling of inadequacy if it means getting stronger. At my current level even just 1 or 2 stat points can be the difference between life and death!”
I had noticed my reputation had increased again after I had healed the children of the Viscountess. I had checked the system to see if it would explain why fame and infamy have times when they both increase, but I had only got a generic definition explaining they both work in tandem with my charisma stat, which wasn't very helpful.
I have hypothesized though that they both increase during times where an achievement may seem sketchy or even when you're doing something good but it may instill fear into the hearts of those present.
It left me wondering if villains who aim for high infamy but capture the hearts of the masses also see a small rise in fame as they progress. I mean it's kind of hard to hate Robin Hood when the money he's stealing is being given to the poor, unless it's your money hehehehe.
“There's one major thing I've been curious about this whole time..”
Divinity
Transcend the limits of the mortal plane! After breaking into [AA] Rank your connection with the heavens and earth is established on a cosmic level.
When you make your presence known lower bloodline ranks can't help but be in awe at your majesty
Collect prayer and worship to raise out of the mortal plane
《Divinity: 0》
The developers said there were more continents and secret realms you could get to later in the game once they're opened, the necropolis being one of those places, I'm definitely looking forward too seeing these other worlds.
It must be a system for those players who do nothing but power level, doing it hoping that they don't get bored haha. I guess racing to the top for supremacy would be enticing for hard core players.
I just wonder what those guilds will do once their top players start heading off to distant lands for leveling?
*******
Having rested for a while it was a welcomed sound when I heard something other than headboards hitting the thin walls.
Apparently being a [Notary] was a big deal, being escorted to my room by the same three Knights that came to fetch me last night. One in the front while the other two taking up each side a few steps behind, it was definitely a protection detail.
I would also note that after seeing Viscountess Rose call out this head Knight's name and watched as she walked out of her shadow, the knight Lady Kim definitely has many skills and levels behind her.
Donning an all black robe left me unable to even tell who or what I was talking to, the voice was a bit seductive and effeminate, but that hardly mattered seeing as this person could be an elf or even a vampire. The different races didn't really follow the same gender binary rules the people of my last life were obsessed with.
I was first given a scroll to read which prompted my [Quest] to appear once more. After checking over the final details written on the parchment I took the quill and wrote my name.
Apparently if I was taking up a seat in court I would have also needed to use a drop of blood to sign the contract. Thankful I was getting only the lowly [Gentleman] title, I'd be lucky if the land I was given could grow the lowest grade magick herbs for potion crafting.
When the witness finished signing, the [Notary] chanted a spell softly over the contract. The parchment floated up and glowed briefly, it's edges started to pull away in their own directions and soon for identical copies appeared. Rolling themselves up, one scroll landed in my hand, another in the Notaries, while the final two poofed out of existence.
Apparently one teleported to the Viscountess while the other went to the capital. Impressive, apparently the notary organisation in this world was just as mystic and powerful as the one in my old world.
Of course with everything finalized the system messages popped up on queue!
*Ding*
Quest Complete!
Title Gained - Gentleman
Affiliation Gained -
Gentleman of Dancing Forest City
Fame has increased by 10
Infamy has increased by 4
Class [Noble] has increased by 1
I gave the notifications a quick glance and didn't give much of an outward reaction, one thing I will say though is that I was ecstatic! I was having the hardest time trying to figure out a realistic way for me to level my [Noble] title without having a ton of money to donate or throw into taxes and i wasn't having much luck!
With this all my deeds will be measured and used as experience. Simply helping the elderly or a lost person's will give me a miniscule amount of exp, while more rigours acts like keeping the streets clean and stopping muggings will give me much more exp.
After being lost in my thoughts for a while, I was brought back to the room in front of me from someone clearing their throat.
When I looked up the [Notary] and the two male knights were gone. The only one left in my room other than myself was Lady Kim. Seeing her scowling at my inattentiveness i couldn't help but give her a once over.
Who was she to be judging me? Okay yes she's no shorter than 6’3”, her flawless dark skin was complimented by her emerald green eyes. Broad shouldered with a hefty bosom, tight skin to show off her toned muscles.
Okay.. with her strength and beauty I'm sure she gets a lot of passes to judge people, but.. but I won't let her slide so easily.
I hurriedly looked her over for anything to give me an advantage and finally my eyes land on the top of her head. Sometime while I was caught in my own thoughts she had removed her helmet, revealing her oh so soft black cat ears.
I couldn't help wondering if they felt like a cute luxurious plush!! It was then that I noticed.. hehehe she has long grey inner ear hair hahaha! She's probably old!
Feeling smug about my conquest, our eyes finally met. I couldn't help noticing she had grown increasingly more agitated during the time I was reclaiming my pride!
I don't know what she wants me to do? I'm a growing boy, I have to keep my mental health in tip top shape if I ever hope to be a man that exudes confidence into the air and people around me.
Not wanting to waste anymore time here I started up the conversation.
“Is there anything you need from me Lady Kim?”
Her frown deepened.
“I don't like the presence of you or your kind in our city Necromancer! You just happen to show up and rescue the Young Lady, and Young Master? A few months after we just had to slaughter more than a dozen of your kind? I don't buy it!”
Is this prejudice? Ha! In half a years time she'll be swimming in people like me. A smirk lifts my cheek up a bit.
“That's what you stayed after to say? What would I gain causing trouble in a remote city like this? I just want to find a nice place to work on my crafting skills.”
At that remark she snorted and literally spit a lugi at my feet! Forget lacking class, that's just completely disgusting, and I feel compelled to burn the floor in its entirety after seeing that!
It's almost as bad as a snot rocket, AHHHH!! I don't want to think about it, lalalalalalala go away evil thoughts!!
Giving me no time to collect myself after the insult she laid on me, she made her reply!
“Don't go firing off insults just because I see you for the scum you are! Do you think I can't smell the corpses you've had in this room? The stink tells a story of itself.
What of the death magick you have bottled up in here? I'm surprised with your utility of barriers though, able to keep magick in but I see you're still having trouble keeping sounds out.. unless you're a pervert?
Is that what all this is? Are you some corpse loving pervert?? See this is exactly why I'm glad I pleaded to change the land you were appointed!”
Seething was an understatement! How dare she question my moral character!!?? I'm suppose to be playing the part of a youth! What youth isn't a little bit curious at this age?? I don't see her volunteering to give me “health 101 my body and me” classes! So she can just go shove it!
Realizing she had added a bit more to the end of her statement I tried to focus back in on what she was saying. I watched her slowly reach into her bosom and pull out a different scroll and a small money pouch.
I can't image that's actually where she was keeping those things, with the magick of storage rings and the [Item Box] skill it would be pointless. It must be a force of habit from her younger years.
“Lucky for me, my Lady values my opinion. Although it took some pleading on my part I finally got her to send you to those God awful forsaken ruins.
This way if things get worse we can just off you when we're dispatched to clean the place up again hahaha, don't disappoint me little necromancer.”
That last part she said with a very sweaty soft tone ass she handed me the scroll and money. As soon as I took the money into my hand there was that familiar sound again.
*Ding*

Isekai Dungeoncrawl - Am Ende mit meinem Latein
I have always thought I would live out my life without any major surprises. You know, work on the estates of my parents, serve my time as a soldier, become a senator, a praetor, maybe a consul in time. I thought I will live the life that a Roman noble of my standing can count on. But this was not to be. My previously simple life got suddenly very complicated. I was taken from my home, and now I have to live in a world where no one speaks Latin, no one prays to my gods, and no one knows what the heck garum is. Before, I thought I had all the answers, but now only questions remain. Will I survive? Will I find my way back home? Will I ever be able to get the savage bastards living here to adopt the great accomplishments of Roman civilisation? Not even the gods know the answers. One thing is for sure: should I ever get home again; I will never set a foot outside of my estate without a healthy stockpile of garum. The cover is from Peter Paul Rubens' "The Death of Publius Decius Mus" This webnovel is partially based on a DnD campaign where a party of three players played the adventures The Sunless Citadel, The Forge of Fury and The Witches of Westwater.
8 139The Dungeon Boss's Favorite Game - A Virmo Story
Kragathor is the final guardian of the world’s deepest dungeon. He is an immortal pinnacle of existence that is otherwise known as an ancient dragon. And he is terribly bored. His sole source of amusement comes from scrying on the adventurer teams that are in the upper levels of his dungeon. Through spying on adventurers, Kragathor hears of a new magic item, called a Virmo, that allows one to project their mind into a fictional world in some sort of grand-scale game. Recognizing these Virmo games as a potential diversion for his endless boredom, he orders a minion to infiltrate the nearby town and acquire some of these games. Once the minion returns, he logs into a game set in a world that runs on the twin magics of ‘science’ and ‘technology’, and embarks on his new journey as Bob, the Level 1 Human with no class. Release Schedule: As I wrap up the end of the first major arc, I will publish the chapters as they're completed. However, as I transition into the next arc, I will go with a two or three times a week release schedule, since I will be splitting time between this story and Chimera. Discord Server
