Pyro POV
Man you're drooling...
Nope... wait yes...
Stats?
I am MONSTER!!! In a good sense.
Good sense? You are OP. And what the hell with vampire?
It's the available gene modification. Say you were created from what?
I don't know. Maybe those eggheads made some modifications? If I become a vampire... say those vampires are vulnerable to sunlight?
Vampires...
Vampires
There are different type of vampires ranging from lesser to primordial.
Most of the vampires, which are considered up to true vampires, become weaker in daytime and stronger at night. UV saps their power and in some cases can kill them, magic attacks are more effective against them than physical attacks, but to some magic such as Blood, Darkness and Water they are highly resistant, while Fire, Light and Holy magic are their weakness.
Daywalker Vampires
Most common trait among those vampires are immunity to UV, and higher resistance to the Fire and Light than of regular vampires. Daywalker vampires can easily blend into the societies as their only difference from mortals is their lifespan. Unlike most vampires Daywalkers don't need blood, and can eat other products.
Ancient Vampires
Ancient or Ancestral Vampires are the elders of Vampire society. All of the Ancient vampires are shape-shifters and highly resistant to physical damage. Ancient vampires, just as true vampires, are separated by their clan, each clan has their strengths and weaknesses.
To unlock Vampire Bloodline user must
Unlock Vampire Heritage
Pass the Trial of Blood
Have 5'000 unallocated points.
User also can use unique token.
After Unlocking Vampire Bloodline user must choose the clan.
User can enter one of the following clans. This is mandatory and can't be changed after the clan was chosen.
Morgul
Tremer
Dusk Fang
Minas
Devah
…
And? Can you explain first five clans?
Morgul
Very Secretive clan. They are not numerous due to their nature of being loners, but no other clan is as powerful as them. They live in shadows of vampire society and don't interact even among themselves. Not much is known about them, except that most of them are proficient int the way of Soul.
Tremer
Clan of powerful Blood Mages. They are very proficient in using blood magic and are rather agile, but unlike other vampires they are fragile and physically weaker than other clans.
Dusk Fang
Clan of Assassins. Dusk Fang is rather conservative clan, but that doesn't mean that they won't acknowledge something new, it the reverse. They will acknowledge it and try to destroy it, so their ways of life won't be changed.
Minas
Clan of traders and infiltrators. Minas clan are enjoying the gold and the mortal life. They are quite charismatic and born leaders, but are much weaker than other vampire clans.
Devah
Clan of warriors. They are much tougher and resilient than other vampires. They are ambidextrous and have four hands. Weak magic but higher magical resistance than that of other vampire clans.
Oh... I got the unique token... maybe try it? I mean new abilities and all that.
Partially agree, but we won't have other unique tokens for a while. Remember that rewards for quests will be nerfed quite a bit?
I vote for it. You won't die of old age and can become even stronger.

None
Huh? So humans are actually OK starter race?
Seems like it.
Long story short, my new race is badass! Few problems include required experience, but my [Prodigy] trait partly eases the problem. Anyway I need to get ready for the Arena tomorrow. Would be rather fun kicking that moron around.
One new thing about my body... I'm no longer have the fatique value, but I still have hunger and thirst. Next is my traits.
Ancestor
Being Ancestor is already a boon, but besides that your Intelligence, Willpower and Magic are twice as powerful.
Vampiric Constitution
All your physical stats are twice as strong, and your regeneration increases twofold.
Daywalker
You no longer fear the light, but still prefer darkness. Negates weak points of being vampire.
Grand Necromancer
Your undead are much more powerful and gain powers faster. Mana usage while creating undead can now be adjusted more easily.
Morgul Nobility
Morguls don't have regular nobility as other Vampiric clans, but they still give some title or another to powerful individuals. Morgul Nobles are much more proficient in the ways of soul magic than regular Morgul Vampire.
Basically I'm twice as strong, can heal in battle by killing living beings, and I have access to soul magic. Oh and I can still eat my favorite foods. I really forgot about that one, somehow I thought that vampires can eat normal food if they wanted to, but it seems only daywalkers can. Good thing I am one of those.
Now where was I? Oh right I'm currently going to the arena, where I can play a bit with jerk.
After I entered the arena I was met with cheering, exclamations and other stuff celebrities usually have, good thing that this world doesn't have cameras, or I would go blind.

Commentator: “Today we introduce you the duel between HEROES!” *loud cheering* “In the Red corner of the arena, The hero that uncovered plot against royal family, cured queen and just really interesting fellow who loves drinking kulpo juice!” *Even more loud cheering* “But that's not all! He actually don't get drunk after it!” *slight confusion* “Prodigy when it comes to magic and-”
Pyro: “-DUDE! Come on! Introduce my opponent!-” don't really want to use my voice, so as usual I used air magic. Oh and today I'm in my enchanted Dracculi Armor. Few mods and it became quite cool.
Commentator: “Right. And in the blue corner of the arena is hero Elizabeth!” *loud cheering* “Despite being named as a girl, it's actually a boy!” *loud laughter* “Guess they couldn't understand if it's a boy or a girl.” *even more laughter* and JJ is... what the hell is that armor?
Hero's Journey (Heavy Armor) {Blue Steel} S-rank [Uncommon]
Durability 9000/9000
Strength +15
Agility +15
Speed +10
Willpower +10
Magic Barrier 500/500
Not bad. But despite material named blue steel it's pink in color. Which is one of the reasons for crowd laughter. Strange Sword by the way.
Demon Slayer (Ultra-Greatsword) {Adamantine} S-Rank [Rare]
Durability 11000/11000
Wind Slash
Eruption
Nice sword, not hero-like but nice. Guess it was the gift from one annoying princess. Pink armor and pitch-black sword.
Commentator: “Now let the duel commence!” *loud cheering*
Fight started quite annoyingly. JJ slashed at me screaming [Holy Slash], which is just wind slash. Stupid. It's quite easily blocked with [Earth Wall], well most types of wall spell series, but still. Then he used [Eruption], which caused ground under me tremble, so I blinked away, while in place where I was standing small volcano emerged. Not bad, not bad at all, but weak.
JJ: “STAND STILL YOU PIECE OF SHIT!” as usual. Somehow it seems that he's the only hero who is acting like a jerk, even perverts just fool around, Zealot found religion while others just do whatever they can to increase quality of life. Not this one though.
Pyro: “Where's the fun in that?” another wind slash just avoided.
JJ: “YOU DARE TO MOCK ME?!” Seriously? Let's splash some water in his face. Gathering a bit of water essence, which I converted from my mana, then created a pool of fresh water.
Pyro: “Get a hold of yourself moron.”
JJ: “THAT'S ALL JOKES TO YOU?!”
Pyro: “Yep.”
JJ: “BASTARD!!!” and he again... crackling with magic? Sure. “TAKE MY [DRAGON'S ROAR]!!!” dragon lightning would be better.*sigh* what stupid names of those spells.
Pyro: “Seriously? Roar?” I just summoned from the pool water tentacles and ordered them to hit JJ from behind.
JJ: “COWARD!”
Pyro: “You? Sure. You are coward who got some items from his lover, by the way did she complained about your size?” I wish I could see his face, but now his screams will suffice.
JJ: “I WILL KILL YOU!!!”
Pyro: “Try me.” and let's make a reverance.
Somehow I wasn't fighting him seriously. I just mocked him, used taunts, water balls, quicksand, walls and other non-combat stuff, while he was going all out just to lay a single hit on me. He used all he learned, [fireballs], [water jets], [earth spikes], [light rays], [dark grab], [gale] and other elemental stuff. I just either dodged, blocked or blinked away. And every single time he shouted “Coward”, “Sissy”, “Moron” and “Bastard”. Actually quite boring. I hoped he would show something like-
JJ: “NOW I WILL USE MY TRUMP CARD!!!” oh OK. And he started chanting some annoying stuff. Boring.
Pyro: “Come on... do something.”
JJ: “HOLY JUDGEMENT!” and it just some stupid hammer made of light. Annoying. Let's retalitate. “What Can't move? The holy-” and I've just broken the hammer. “WHAT?!”
Pyro: “Well looking as I gave you around five minutes to prove yourself worthy, I'm disappointed.” and I unsheathed my sword. “My turn to play. [Reality Slash]” as I said that air glowed and cracks formed around the path of my slash. He dodged and moved his sword to parry my spell, but. His sword was cut.
JJ: “WHAT DID YOU DO?!” really? Let's try-
Pyro: “[Howling Gale]” quite funny air skill. Not that damaging, but gives a few debuffs. And really noisy.
JJ: “MY EARS!” after that I decided on-
Pyro: “[Firebrand]” combo of earth and fire magic. Not really a spell someone would use in battle, but good for demoralization, as it gives you quite a scar and lowers charisma. Guess where I used it? Yep, fifth point.
JJ: “YOU SON OF A-*shriek*” twice. Next on the list was my [Icy Flame] so I threw few balls at him. I aimed for legs, so he would stuck in place.
Pyro: “Now as you can't move, surrender.” I said as I came near.
JJ: “Fine. Release me.” it was easier than I thought.
Pyro: “Say it.”
JJ: “... I surrender.”
Pyro: “Louder!”
JJ: “I SURRENDER!” and immediately after it commentator announced, while descending on the stage.
Commentator: “Hero Elizabeth Surrendered!” crowd cheered as usual. Guess I can now release him. Just shatter ice around him. After I freed him, that moron grabbed something while running at me screaming.
JJ: “I WON'T LOSE!” and he got some sort of knife. Wait what the-
God's Bane (Dagger) {???} XXX-rank [Divine]
Unbreakable
God's Bane poison.
???
???
???
Shit. I quickly [Blinked] away and he... stabbed commentator. Damn you! He was fun!
Pyro: “And what the hell are you doing?”
JJ: “I HAVEN'T LOST YET!” prick.
Pyro: “You surrendered.”
JJ: “I WON'T UNTIL I DIE!!!”
Pyro: “Fair enough.” and I just slashed at him with four simultaneous reality slashes, depriving him of his arms and legs, after which I put him into [Earth Prison], with only his head not covered by earth. “Care to explain who gave you this dagger?” and... he's unconcious. Useless piece of shit. “CAN SOMEONE DISPATCH CLERIC?! THE DAGGER WAS POISONED!” that's when I heard queen.
Queen: “HOW DID HE GOT THAT DAGGER?!” Seems like she know about it. Good, she will have some explaining to do.

City of Champions Online
Having found the tragic truth that an art degree is worth less than the paper it is printed on, Jacquelyn Jones is frustrated with her dead end work as a graphic designer for a marketing firm, finding new ways to try and convince people that this week's 50 cent off sale is actually worth driving to the store. She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales. After the couple hundredth time blasting the same group of mooks from the same faction on the same street corner of the same city, using the same powerset as everyone else because you only have a few options, it is hard to think of yourself as a hero anymore. But then she heard about City of Champions Online. For the first time, a developer partnered with a tabletop RPG maker to use their system to create a VRMMORPG, and it was one of the systems designed to be used with superhero games! And despite the name, there was no getting stuck in the same city as all the other players. The game world was a detailed replica of the real world, down to having some of the same shops and restaurants in town. She could be whoever she wanted, whatever she wanted. Now, she just has to find a way to become the heroine she's always wanted to be.

If you could fly like a bird, what would you do? Would you use your freedom to go wherever your wings take you? Would you help those who cannot see the sky closely experience the thrill of the new heights? Would you test yourself with dangerous stunts and speeds? Would simply relax in interesting spots where you would be alone? For Jake, the world is for adventure, testing himself, exploring Domum, playing games and whatever else he feels like. Or so that is how he wished things turned out as events beyond his knowledge or control occur around him
