Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: The Ancestor's Voice

The dark hallway was quiet. The only thing that is heard is the heartbeat of seed looking at the dark figure. 

I see that you are afraid of us. Good! Fear is one step closer to survival. 

Who are you and what do you want from me? Seed said. 

I am your ancestor. Leo. And We want revenge. 

Revenge? from who? Speed Asked

Humanity and beast. We were portrayed by them. From many millennia. We once protected this earth. But now we're going to be the one that rebuilds it. and you seed will be a common factor in that. Leo said. Informally. 

What do you mean? We build it. You want to commit genocide? Seed said. He looked at the figure. Because if that's what you want, I won't help you with it. 

you don't have a choice Seed. Besides, we are not monsters. We just want to restore balance to the world. Leo said. 

Who is "we" you're talking about? Seed said. 

Your family seed, your ancestors. The people who were betrayed by humanity. That were suffering in battle to protect them. Leo got close and spoke in a dark tone.

You are one of us now. All of the power that we inherited is going to you, one by one. From necromancy to dark magic, to vampirism, to werewolf genes, even zombified us. All of these you will inherit. Leo said. 

We are running out of time. Leo said as he got closer. And placed his hand on Seed's forehead. You will understand everything, but for now I need you awake. Leo informed.

Seed was panicking; he was afraid he didn't trust this Leo character and all that story of revenge and beast. He didn't want none of that. 

And he didn't get a chance to ask about the system because he woke up.

He opened his eyes to find the room that he was in was dark because the light was closed, but not as dark as the dream. 

I'm tired, and now I can't sleep. That nightmare ruined my rest time. That dark figure addressed itself as my ancestor. His name was Leo. He speaks of creatures of other races. Vampires, werewolves, zombies. Powers that will be inherited to me.

I am afraid I don't want this. Just want to be strong so I can protect myself, protect my brother, protect humanity. Not have revenge on them. 

That figure! He really thinks that he's smart. Teaching me that fear is a step closer to survival. I already know that!

But why me? Why now? Why not Pojay? 

All of these are questions, not unanswered yet. 

Leo is not the only one that reminded me of werewolves, zombies, and vampires. The condition of healing and recovery for the system is eating beast flesh or drinking human blood. 

Maybe I am a mix of all of them. But he said necromancy and dark magic. That's part human, right? What I'm saying is all of this is bullcrap. Seed Thought 

I need to see for myself. Pojay! Pojay! Wake up! Seed said.

hmmm what do want . Pojay moaned. 

Your blood. Seed replied. 

Pojay opened his bloodshot eye. Remembering Seed when he was fighting and eating that beast flesh. 

What are you saying, Seed? You didn't change your diet from beast flesh to human flesh, aren't you? Pojay said, 

Nah, it's just an experience. I need it, it's urgent. Seed said. 

No, I'm not giving you my blood. Pojay reply with urgency. 

Come on brother, you know I won't hurt you. I just need a couple drops. I just need to make sure of something. 

Man, if I don't give it my blood, kick his feet on somebody else, maybe Nina or the maid. Pojay thought

 fine, but only a couple drops. 

Pojay made a shallow cut on the palm of his hand. And pour the blood in the cup. 

seed was looking at the blood. Thinking it can't taste bad. Right as he gulped the cup in front of Pojay. 

pojay was looking at Seed with concern.
