”My name is Orpheus Kyle N. Blake.” Orpheus introduced himself and returned to reading his newspaper, but soon he heard his servant, the girl he turned into a vampire, asking him. ”Master, it is a good name, but what the N mean?” The curious Amber couldn’t help but want to know what the N in the middle meant. Orpheus knew this would happen when he purposely omitted to say his full name. ”You will know in the future,” Orpheus said, not saying anything else, but inwardly he was chuckling, thinking that she would be frightened if she knew who he was. She would eventually learn it, but the current her could not; she needed a bit of training; he made her his maid, but she was far from a regular maid; he would turn her into an all-purpose maid. He just came back, and there were lots of things to do. What he saw when he came back left him angry, but for now, he could only endure it until he recuperated enough, until he saw them know what truly happened while he was gone. While Orpheus was lost in thoughts planning his next move, Amber was pouting. She thought she could learn more about her master but failed. She was doing all of this because she could feel her master’s loneliness; maybe this was due to their shared connection; she wished she could do something; seeing him like that, an unknown emotion arose in her heart. ”Give me a summary of the empires and other forces on the continents,” Orpheus asked suddenly. Amber was forced to stop thinking of plans to make her master smile often and talk more about himself. ”Okay, I’m not too knowledgeable, but I will tell you the little that I know,” Amber said and made herself comfortable. “There are four empires and three kingdoms on this continent, the Exhalia continent.” After hearing Amber’s words, Orpheus thought to himself. ‘So the number of empires increased, huh!’ ”The four empires from the strongest to the weakest, Wratharis Empire ruled by the Neos family, Luxiria Empire ruled by the Luxiria family, the twin Goddesses are member of this family, Cherry Blossom empire ruled by the Sakura family and lastly, the Eastern Empire ruled by the Ren family. As for the kingdoms, I’m not that knowledgeable on the matter, so I will now explain about the other continents.” Orpheus said nothing but his silence was like an approval. Despite being curious about the twin goddesses, he postponed asking as he believed he would regret it if he were to bring that subject up; the look inside Amber’s eyes when she talked about the Luxiria family, was the gaze of a hardcore fan. Not knowing that her master had already labeled as a hardcore fan of the twins, Amber happily continued with her explanation. ”Next, I’ll talk about the Eleven continent, Thysalen. They have one empire, the Havans Empire, and two kingdoms. The next continent is Regalia, home of the demi-humans, one empire, Regalia, and five kingdoms; lastly, there is the Demon continent Raetia, like one other two continents there’s only one empire, the Dawn Empire, but unlike the other continents, the Dawn Empire ruled Raetia in its entirety.” ”I see,” Orpheus mumbled while thinking that a lot of things have changed; in his time, demi-humans didn’t exist, nor the demon empire was called Dawn Empire; it was called the Fallen empire, and kingdoms existed too, but because of that war many kingdoms had been erased while the Fallen Empire was almost erased. But compared to the angel race that was completely erased in that war, the demons were lucky. ”That is all I know,” Amber said and stood up to change her clothes; she knew what would follow. Her training would soon begin. ”Thank you.” Unexpectedly Orpheus thanked Amber, she was surprised, but soon a smile bloomed on her face before she disappeared into her room to change. ????? Orpheus and Amber arrived at the indoor training ground; they entered the room. The indoor training ground was not too big, but ten people could fight here simultaneously. Orpheus scanned Amber and nodded in satisfaction. She was now an origin master, although it was only at Level 7, which means her life as origin master had begun. After turning into a vampire, her body had changed; it was now capable of holding origin in the air, unlike her previous body that couldn’t. ”As I said in our previous sessions, there are different origin attributes, but us vampire has one element in common. The Blood Origin.” Amber listened quietly, not to miss out anything. ”As I taught, you should use the origin in the air to awaken your blood before activating the Blood Art that I have taught you. Unlike other vampires that use the Blood Origin, you can reach a higher level, but that would need to wait. For now, we will concentrate on the basic level of the Blood Origin and the Blood Art.” Because they were focusing on the basics, for now, Orpheus didn’t try to awaken the second origin attribute inside Amber’s body; At the same time, it was not too rare for someone to possess a second origin attribute, Amber was one of those that possessed an extremely rare origin attribute, Orpheus was pleasantly surprised when he found out about her unique origin attribute. This would make her perfect for what he had in mind. ”Let’s begin.” Orpheus declared before Amber nodded. Taking a deep breath, she used the origin in the air to awaken her blood; her blood boiled under her skin, she rapidly chanted the blood art. ”Blood Arts First Form, Blood Strengthening.” Amber’s ice blue eyes turned instantly red; her pale white skin turned healthy, gaining a shade of red; she felt strength coursing through her body. Without using any weapon and with only her hands alone, she could fight an early Origin Level 6 master. Naturally, vampires possessed tough physics, stronger than normal, so by adding the blood strengthening, she was at another level. After using the Blood Arts, Amber was ready for her training.
