A staggering amount of vampiric power showed itself, bringing a beautiful smile to Alice's face.
'I did it...' Her heart raced much faster; this time, it wasn't from impatience but happiness. An overflowing joy burst out of her body as she jumped over to where Matt was and hugged him tightly.
She couldn't contain her happiness and wanted to thank the person who deserved the most credit.
Matt didn't expect this move at a time when he was dazed, so he ended up falling backward with Alice on top of him.
"Matt, thank you!" Before he could speak or even react, she brought her face close to his and sealed his lips...
This sudden kiss sent a current through Matt's body, but before he could react, Alice did it first, realizing her mistake.
Suddenly, her heart, beating with overflowing happiness, started pounding with desperate speed.
She had been carried away by the sudden feelings that hit her and ended up kissing him, even though she knew he didn't like it. So she quickly climbed down from on top of Matt and apologized.
"I- I'm sorry, Matt!" she shouted.
Matt had already prepared to escape from under her, but when he saw her move, he stood thoughtfully staring at her.
He didn't say anything or even move. He simply looked at her, making Alice feel slightly impatient. Matt averted his gaze two minutes later to look at the vampire ball.
"Congratulations, Alice. 21,000 vampiric power in a short time... It seems like only yesterday when you barely had 5,000 power." He said, turning his attention away from what had just happened.
Alice then stood up. Somehow, it seemed like Matt didn't make a big deal out of it, but...
'Should I feel good? It was my first real kiss and... It would be great if he at least said something about it...' She thought, though she shook her head at herself. 'No, it's better this way. At least he doesn't seem uncomfortable with my weird action.' She thought and nodded to him.
"Thank you, Matt. If it weren't for you, I'm sure I wouldn't have made such an amazing breakthrough in such a short time. Perhaps I could be the most amazing breakthrough in such a short time among the inhabitants of this world." She replied, smiling.
A strange thought crossed his mind, one he hadn't expected to happen.
'Can I get a new skill?' He thought. And in shock, he looked at Alice.
She had felt her Inheritance Token throbbing continuously, so she had to take it out to see what was happening.
Then the Inheritance Token flew quickly into Matt's hands, stunning both of them, who couldn't believe what they saw.
"This... Matt, what's wrong?" she asked uncomprehendingly.
But Matt was the same way. How could he explain to her that his mind was telling him that he could gain a new skill?
"This... I think I can get a new skill? There seems to be something in my mind telling me that."
"A new ability? Impossible! I haven't even reached the 30,000 power needed; how is that possible? This... Matt... You...
Who the hell are you?" She couldn't hold those doubts at the moment when the shock in her mind had reached its peak.
Matt didn't know how to answer that question because he had even doubted it lately.
Who is he, and why is he here? Who is the man he saw recently when he got his first skill?
Why is he a descendant of a Clan that disappeared over 10 million years ago?
Could it be that this Clan still exists? If so, where is it?
There are too many questions in his mind that he does not know how to answer.
That was why he could only turn his head away.
"I'm sorry, even I don't know how to answer that question." He said softly, to excuse himself, and immediately sat down and entered that mysterious place, again...
