My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

"Anyways, Frank, you want to know more about those two oddballs down there, don't you?" asked Dan.

Dan was acting a bit too friendly for Frank's liking, but he had to admit that the man knew a lot about the Vampires if he had lived with them for so long. It was obvious he would know one thing or two, and Frank who had such a big curiosity over the Vampires, wanted to learn more about them if possible.

"Alright tell me more. You're not asking for weird things though, right?" he asked.

"Weird things? What weird things would I ask for?" asked Dan teasingly, his smile seemed rather provocative, but there was a certain charm on him. Frank began to consider that Dan acted coquettish with both men and women. He was perhaps hitting both sides. And his naturally charming personality made him act "weirdly" even with men.

Frank wasn't homophobic or something, and he felt rather flattered that Dan was acting charming to him, but he had no intentions on playing around his weird games.

"Like asking me for favor?" he asked.

"Haha! Come on, we are all friends here now. We are pretty much brothers! So I'll tell you, I like you, Frank, you're interesting and quite handsome. That youthful appearance and the darkness that dwells within those hopeful and innocent eyes… Hahh, you're quite the man, huh? Especially if we talk about your libido! I mean, you've got a bunch of wives! What's up with that- AGH!"

CLANK!

A helmet hit Dan's head now, it was Julia, who had an amazing snipping technique and could throw a helmet all the way to Dan's head from the other side of the spectator's seat.

"Cut it off, pervert!" she said.

"Ugh… Ouch… See how they treat me?" sighed Dan.

"It would be lying if I said I think it wasn't well deserved." Said Frank.

"Heh, fair enough…. Anyways, you see that pale blonde right there?"

Dan suddenly pointed to a tall woman who emanated a strong bright presence. Despite this, she was some sort of Undead-type Vampire, not a true vampire but something close to a Ghoulish being, like Stein was, a zombie-like stitched creature that was also half-vampire.

"What's with her?" asked Frank.

"Well she and Stein got a lot of history. Stein comes from Europe, and he used to be a bounty hunter with the hottie. The two went on adventures together until one day, they ended getting beaten by a Lich and… well, they ended as you see them now." Said Dan.

"W-What?" asked Frank.

"Indeed… it is just as you think…" said Dan.

"Don't talk anymore than that, Dan, it would be disrespectful for the couple." Said Kuro.

"I know, I know…" said Dan.

Frank then began to consider what Dan had said, apparently Stein and the girl there were a couple, and they were caught in the past by a Lich necromancer, and made into stitched zombies… the sole thought of experience such a thing made Frank almost ecstatic… it made him feel bad immediately.

"That's tough… But how? I didn't knew… zombies could become Vampires." Said Frank. He was a necromancer himself and none of his Undead had evolved into such forms.

"That was done through special methods, even Zombies can be triggered to go through Existence Evolution and become powerful Undead, there are certain Undead that are closer to Vampires such as ourselves, Ghouls, for example. By triggering an evolution in the two through the ingestion of vampire blood of high purity, they evolved into Ghouls, and grew new capabilities. These two lovebirds are monsters by themselves not in the literal way, but in strength. The weirdest part is that Stein's girl is an amazing user of light magic despite being an Undead. She always gets hurt when she uses it, but she's adamant in learning anything else. She's strong though." Said Dan while nodding.

"So they had such an history… I can already tell that despite being Undead, they're pretty strong. And an Undead that can use light magic… Now that's new." Said Frank, rather amused.

"Is it, isn't it? They're an interesting bunch, I can tell. However, Stein has a fixation with her, and he dislikes seeing her getting hurt, so he insisted in her staying in the public. She was adamant in joining though." Said Dan.

"What's her name?" wondered Frank.

"Stein calls her Hanna…" said Dan.

"I see… So everyone here has their loved ones as well… I guess everyone have their own pasts and so on… even as painful as they are, they're still here fighting and showing off the might of the clan, despite the hardships they went through. That's very admirable." Said Frank.

"Hm, indeed. You got a way with words." Said Dan.

"Could you stop looking at Frank so seductively?" asked Orb angrily.

"Ah? This is how I talk and look at people, Orb girl. Don't get me wrong, I do find your husband rather attractive, its hard not to, but I am just being friendly." Said Dan.

"Huh?!" Frank felt a bit overwhelmed; this was perhaps the first time a man showed up saying he was attractive.

"Papa mine!"

Suddenly, Alexander hugged Frank's belly and looked at Dan with a strong hint of jealously. The little boy didn't wanted this strange man to act weirdly with her papa, and he felt like he wanted to possess him or something.

"Oho? What a cute little fluffball this is! I see! You're in love with your papa? Don't worry, I am not going to take him away from you," giggled Dan.

"Dan you're acting extra feisty today, relax your hormones." Said Kuro with a death glare.

"Ah! Come on Kuro, don't look at me like that…" sighed Dan.

"Aside from Stein, what about the other guy there?" asked Frank.

"That guy is pretty strange. He's like a stick bug…" said Orb.

"Orb don't be so disrespectful…" said Kamei.

"Hahaha! I don't blame her. Bernard does indeed looks like a stick bug… He's a peculiar man with a rather dark past." Said Dan.
