Chapter 1573 - The Return Of A Legend (1/2)

There was an endless black space in front of him, filled with complete darkness and nothing else. It felt like one was asleep yet, at the same time, not. There were no dreams, no sounds, no noises, nothing. And, all they could see was an endless black space.

Since no thoughts could transpire, one couldn't even feel the passage of time. Meaning even the person themselves had no clue what had happened or what their body was currently doing. This was the current feeling or non-existent feeling they were going through. For how long had it been like this, there was no sense at all. And after an unknown amount of time, they finally heard a voice.

'You…..you…'

He heard it, but whose voice was it? At the moment, he couldn't even access his own memories in his current state.

'You..you need to…'

'Yeah...I need to do what? Make breakfast? Get ready for school? Do homework? What are you trying to tell me?'

'You need to wake up!' The voice yelled, resounding in his head.

'Quinn, wake up!' The voice shouted once more.

'Quinn?' Hearing his own name, something summoned inside of him, suddenly the darkness he was surrounded in began to diminish and disappear. In return, a bright white light started to shine in his mind, and with it, images flashed through Quinn.

'Everything…is coming back to me.' Quinn felt.

All of the flashing images were everything that Quinn had gone through so far, and the memories were returning to him with every detail. Memories from when he was a child, memories of when a certain individual had knocked at Quinn's door, declaring that his parents had died.

The memories flooded his head. They were all coming back to him: how his life had changed, how it had started when he first had arrived at military school—turning into a vampire from that book, meeting Vorden, meeting Fex, another vampire for the first time.

The school tournament, Fex being abducted, saving Fex, returning to the world during the civil war, the multiple fights he fought, allies he made along the way, and the allies Quinn lost as well, saving Vorden from Blade island and barely pulling him back from death's door.

Not just once, but multiple times. Founding what is now known as the Cursed faction, becoming part of the big four. Then, saving the vampire settlement from the new king Cindy, losing close allies to him once more.

The start of the Dalki attack, becoming the Vampire King and finally fighting against Graham.

Having completed the quest and become something beyond a vampire, he had managed to defeat Graham.

'I did a lot; I did a lot during that time.' Quinn thought. 'I guess I'm dead now; I guess I can finally rest.'

'Oi, you idiot! Didn't you hear me? You have to wake up!' the voice screamed in his head once more. It jolted Quinn awake as his eyes opened, and the first thing he could see was a steamy glass in front of him.

Huffing and panting, Quinn could feel his heart race, something that hadn't happened in a long time. Ever since he became a vampire, his heartbeat was usually slow, and now, all of his body was starting to move slowly. The tingly feeling as blood began to rush through his veins, and in the end, was the familiar screen that flashed in front of him.

[System is rebooting]

[Congratulations, you have been granted the Celestial Vampire System]

'Celestial vampire system?' Quinn read, wondering what that even meant, he could guess based on his evolution that the two were linked, but it wasn't exactly clear yet. Still, seeing the system message like so was reminiscent of the first time when Quinn had become a vampire.

The only difference was, last time, he passed out before he could hear the whole message.
