73 Ability Crystals [part 2]
I look at the two crystals in awe, I never knew that I had two crystals inside my safe all along. I only knew about the cyan crystal which Misty bought for me. However, I was unable to absorb it.
It’s quite a high-level magnetism ability that costs about 500,000 dollars. Even if Misty asks for it now, I’ll just return her money to her since I can afford it, but I doubt Misty would do that.
[0)ᴠʟ And then, there is this purple crystal which I don’t recollect ever owning.
After rummaging through my brain for a few minutes, I finally remembered the person that gave me this crystal.
My dad…
[Oh, I thought you said that you didn’t know your dad….]
I never said that. The last time I saw my dad was when I was about 5-10 years old. He gave me this crystal which was inside a fancy-looking box. He told me that this was his parting gift to me, the way he said it sounded like it was going to be the last day he would ever see me. And that day was actually the day he had planned to attack the dhampirs and humans, but he was intercepted by old man duke and forced into an eternal slumber.
Because i was a kid at that time, I never took his words to mind, I had thought that the box in my hands were full of blood candies. But when I arrived home and opened the box, I saw an odd-looking and non-edible thing inside. And In disappointment, I tossed it into my safe.
[That’s quite funny, well I can’t blame you. There are also some things that your mom isn’t telling you about your father and I think you should find out. According to what you said, your dad doesn’t sound like a bad person to me…]
Mmm, you’re right…. I’ll get all my answers today.
I pick up the two crystals. And surprisingly, they are quite heavier than they look, it’s almost as if gravity is trying to swallow them up. However, I quickly store them in my inventory..
After storing them, I leave my room and walk towards the kitchen.
As expected, my women are not inside the kitchen. Letting out a long sigh, I open the refrigerator and empty all the packs inside. Even though there are about 500-700 blood packs inside, I put everything in my inventory. According to what the system told me, there is a time stop inside the inventory that won’t allow anything stored inside to spoil. Even if I keep fresh food inside, and decide to eat it after two years, I’ll meet it the same way I kept it.
I did this in retaliation for what my women did to me, this will serve as a lesson to them. After all, these top-tier blood packs are hard to get compared to the regular blood packs. Of course, their taste is different, since most regular blood packs are not fresh, and some have even been kept for as long as one year, making the taste a little sour and unappetizing.
Well, this notion only applies to the rich because most poor vampires have never tasted fresh blood, so even the regular blood is like gold to them. It just hurts me to see that most vampires are suffering on earth. Jobs are hard as fuck to get because of our nature, and humans are the sole reason for this.
They still despise the fact that we live off human blood even though they are mindless clones. The horridness is still there.
After drinking to my fill, I sneak into the place where Misty constantly keeps her car key, and without hesitation, I pick it up. I’ll probably get a car for myself after my graduation or perhaps a spaceship that’ll have so many uses once I get into Supers academy. After taking the key, I zoom away from the house without looking back or alerting Misty.

“Mmmm, Misty… So you mean I have to take two of these tablets daily?” Aurora asks as she collects a blister pack from Misty which contains blood-red pills.
“Yes, you have to use it whenever you are about to have sex with him…” Misty explains. “And you have to make sure that he cums inside you… a lot.” She adds.
“This conversation is weird…” Aurora mutters and her face flushes red. Even Misty’s face also flushes red at this point.
Misty lets out a sigh at the blushing Aurora who has just popped her cherry. Then she speaks up again.
“This conversation is not embarrassing, okay? We are his women and will be his wives a few days from today. So we’ll still talk a lot more about this.” Misty tells Aurora and gives her a strong pat on her shoulder.
“O…Okay, I just felt so flustered when he asked me out, although, you already assured me that he was going to ask for my hand in marriage. That was one of the happiest moments of my life, I can’t wait to tell my mom!
A-And this morning, he came a lot inside me. My inside is filled to the brim with his fluid …” Aurora flushes again.
“Oh…t-that? I could tell from your moans, teeheehee.” Misty giggles.
“Y-You were also moaning loudly the day before yesterday when he took your innocence. Y-You should be more ashamed, you popped your cherry at the age of 67.” Aurora retorts.
*The women’s faces flush red.*
“But I have something to tell you, Misty…” Aurora suddenly says with worry etched on her face.
“Eh, what’s that?”
“…While I was having sex with Jake this morning, I saw a marriage marking on his neck, and it looks like a fresh one. I know that you can’t initiate a marriage ritual by yourself without the help of a witch. It’s kind of confusing to me. It’s either Jake m-married another vampire….or—”
“Mom~!” Misty cuts Aurora short. “It’s my mom’s work!” Misty mumbles angrily while her green eyes start to glow brightly.
Even Aurora starts taking a few steps back…
“Misty….calm down,” Aurora mutters.
The next moment, Misty’s green eye starts to dim and she begins to pant heavily.
“Are you okay?” Aurora asks, walking forward.
“Yeah, I’m okay.” Misty replies in a low voice, while sweat begins to trickle down her face. Although vampires don’t sweat, that doesn’t apply to Misty, because she’s a halfling.
“Phew… I was scared, I thought ‘she’ wanted to come out.” Aurora lets out a sigh of relief. “But why did you say that it’s your mom?” Aurora asks.
“Jake has been having sex with mom lately. I bet he went to see her yesterday. And also, a vampire lord can initiate a marriage ritual without the help of a witch. I can’t believe that bitch would do something as crazy as this!” Misty gives a reply, while gritting her teeth and clenching her hands in anger.
“W-What?!! Jake had sex with his mom and married her? E-Even though she’s his mom and it’s normal in the vampire society, doesn’t it seem like Jake is cheating on us?” Aurora asks with a stutter.
“Sigh… Jake hasn’t told you huh?” Misty asks while shaking her head.
“Eh, what is that?! He didn’t tell me anything. I won’t accept cheating! Sigh… it doesn’t make any difference, they are married. It’s more like he’s cheating on her.” Aurora says with a dissatisfied tone.
“I think you should ask him, so he can explain it better. And I bet mom forced the marriage on him.” Misty breathes out heavily.
“Humph! I need to talk to him right now!” Aurora bellows and leaves the room angrily while Misty also follows her from behind.
They walk into Aurora’s room but Jake is not inside, they also check his room, bathroom, and every other room in the house, but still Jake is nowhere to be found.
In confusion, they decide to wait for him for about thirty minutes, thinking he went to get something down the street.
However, Misty’s eyes catches something, her car keys are nowhere to be found.
‘Did Jake go out? He didn’t even eat!’ Misty thinks inwardly.
In distress, she walks out of the house and asks about her car from the neighbors who told her that Jake went out with it.
After confirming it, she walks back into her apartment.
“Did he really go out with the car?”
Aurora asks.
“Yes, he did…” Misty answers and slumps into the chair.
“What?! He doesn’t even have a license yet! And he didn’t eat this morni—” Aurora pauses her words when she raises her head to check the time and realizes that it’s almost noon.
“We didn’t make breakfast for him… I can’t believe we were chatting all this while without realizing that so much time was gone…” Misty speaks up.
“And he doesn’t joke with food, he is a foodie. I bet he went to eat at ‘her’ house.” Aurora says, biting her lips.
Misty doesn’t say anything and simply lets out a sigh. She was taking into account what her therapist told her, and so she doesn’t want to act irrationally. So she has decided to ask Jake about the whole thing regarding the marking when he comes back.
She stands up and goes into the kitchen to start making lunch so that she can call him to come back home and eat his lunch.
However, the moment Misty grabs the handle of the refrigerator to take out some blood packs, her eyes widen in shock when she opens it only to realize that it’s empty.
“T-The blood packs…”
=========================
Note: What do you feel about the pacing of this novel?
Author’s Thoughts: As I said earlier, this novel is a slice of life. I want it to be a simple relaxing story that will end with 1-2k chapters without many forced plots. As you can see, it’s only been two days in the novel, and we already have 72 chapters lmao. Maybe I should increase the pacing a little bit, what do you think?
