[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've won the Vampire Bloodline!]
"Eh? A Vampire?" wondered Idan, unable to believe his luck.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, you've won the Dragon Bloodline!]
"Oh? The Dragon?" exclaimed Arabel, unable to hide her delight.
"Hey, System! Tell me, if I become a vampire, I won't sparkle in the sunlight, will I?" Idan suddenly asked, drawing Arabel's attention with his question.
Arabel couldn't help but laugh when she heard Idan's question.
Even she, being a descendant of a rich family, had heard of "these" famous vampires.
[No, Host. You won't sparkle!] — the System replied.
"Phew!" sighed Idan with relief and looked at Arabel, who was still laughing at him. He just shrugged his shoulders.
"I should have made sure before I took the potion!" he said.
"Well, well..." Arabel replied, then looked at the potion that, like last time, appeared on her hands.
Tch!" — Idan snapped, looking at Arabel's potion after finding out what had fallen out. Then he tried to imagine Arabel in the form of a dragon.
Although they had been to Limbo and knew that there was a real dragon there, they had never seen it with their own eyes. Therefore, Idan had no idea what Arabel would look like when she became a dragon. However, according to Milisa, they were aware that dragons can take on human form.
Arabel now possessed the cold and aloof bloodline of an Ice Valkyrie, and they would soon be joined by a proud Dragon.
"Wait! Wait!" — Idan exclaimed to himself. Then he turned his gaze to Arabel, who, hidden under the mask of a ghost, did not look as charming as in her true form.
"A beautiful girl with long red hair and azure eyes, a cold and distant white-haired Valkyrie beauty, and now a Dragon Beauty."
"Can my girlfriend transform into three different girls? Not only in appearance, but also in character!"— Idan's thoughts seemed to spin in a whirlwind.
Arabel, in turn, shifted her gaze from the potion to Idan, who was looking at her with a thoughtful expression on his face. It was unusual for her to see him in this new guise.
"What is he thinking about?" she whispered.
[He's thinking of you, Host...]
Suddenly, the System came to the rescue, and the one who could listen and know Idan's thoughts, she told Arabel everything. Arabel froze at what she heard and looked at Idan with her eyes wide open.
"I found time to think about something!" — Arabel cursed, but then she started looking at Idan and imagining the same thing.
"Doesn't Idan, in addition to his usual appearance, already have the hot form of an Alpha of Fire, and now he has the opportunity to become a Vampire?" Arabel's thoughts began to spin. She, like Idan, realized that in this case her boyfriend would also be able to change into three different young men.
A simple, ordinary guy with his head on his shoulders, whose character she began to like the most, then a hot and attractive young red-haired Alpha of Fire, and finally a pale-skinned handsome vampire.
Arabel felt a little dizzy. What girl wouldn't have dreamed of a vampire boyfriend in her day?
"Hey Belle! What are you thinking about?" Idan asked suddenly, pulling Arabel out of the world of girlish dreams.
"No... nothing!" stammered Arabel, and then looked away. Idan could have sworn he saw the blush on her face.
Idan looked at Arabel with mild suspicion, but decided not to pursue the subject.
"I suggest we put these potions aside for now. When we finally master our first bloodlines, after breaking through to the "Gold" rank, we will be able to purchase potions for our second bloodlines through the "Trade" function along with the slot for the second bloodline in the "Bloodlines" function. Right now, the cost of potions and the slot is not so high, so we can use the System Points and save the potions for later," Idan expressed his opinion. He understood that it would be unwise to use potions immediately after the breakthrough.
"I agree!" — Arabel agreed, realizing the value of these potions. Although she wanted to see Idan in Vampire form as soon as possible, she knew she had to wait a bit. Sooner or later, she would definitely see him in this guise.
Idan and Arabel put the potions in the common storage.
"System, what is the use of a small spatial crystal for?" Idan suddenly remembered the first reward. When the system finished explaining, he decided to clarify the matter immediately.
[A small spatial crystal is an incredibly rare and valuable resource that can be used in many fields. Currently, Host, it can be useful for feeding your pet. Your fox cub has an affinity with the element of space, and a small spatial crystal will be an excellent source of energy for her. In addition, the small spatial crystal is the main resource for improving your spatial storage.]
The system readily provided an exhaustive answer.
"I wish I'd thought of that before!" — Only after the System's explanation did Idan remember about their personal spatial storage, where all their belongings were stored.
During its existence, the repository has been repeatedly modified and improved.
Currently, its dimensions were 12 by 12 meters. However, they still couldn't store living beings in it, except for those who were bound to them by contract. They gained this opportunity after the awakening of their first Stars.
They haven't tried putting Ned and Beru there yet, let alone Esme.
But now they had this small spatial crystal, which could significantly improve their storage.
Idan didn't hesitate and immediately asked the System about the requirements needed to improve their spatial storage.
Although the small spatial crystal was not the only necessary resource, it turned out to be the most expensive and rare. The rest, as Idan found out, using the "Trade" function, were relatively inexpensive and were more or less accessible. However, given the limited number of System Points they had left, Idan and Arabel conferred and decided to postpone the upgrade until they found a stable way to get them.
"Hey, System! Have you forgotten anything?" Arabel asked when they finished discussing the vault and the small spatial crystal. She finally remembered one of the most important questions they wanted to ask.
[...] The system, as if not understanding what Arabel was talking about, sent three dots.
"Tell me, how are the overcoming of disasters in our world and the so-called seals of the System related?" Arabel asked eagerly.
The system did not immediately respond to this question. Arabel and Idan waited with bated breath for the answer.
[Hosts, the so-called disasters you're talking about are actually just the consequences of your world entering a new phase of its growth!]
