Corey looked infront of him at the red screen while Theresa waved her hand in the air around it.
"So you are saying you can still see some kind of screen?""I can big sis, really, It is like a television screen of sorts, but it seems much more advanced."Theresa was hesitant to believe but Corey had never lied to her on such things for this long. It had been about 5 minutes, so if it was a prank, it should have already been revealed by him."What does it say again?" Theresa asked once more."Just that a Blood heir is chosen, nothing else," Corey said in doubt."Guess there is no other way to figure it out, just click it."Without thinking much, Corey clicked the words and immediately, new words appeared on it:[Due to having the highest purity of true blood ever seen for the past century, the Blood Clan inheritance has chosen you as an heir and you now represent Planet Earth's mightiest being.]Corey read it out and Theresa frowned as she listened on."Big sis, do you know anything about this Blood Clan thing?" Corey asked worriedly. Would this bring some trouble?Theresa frowned. "I... Don't know about any Blood Clan, but I do know of a Blood Family. It was the richest Family in the world at a point but was then destroyed overnight due to planning something like terrorism against the World Government. It was a big event two years ago. They say it could have even turned into the third World War if the Government wasn't so strong."Corey gulped. Did he get into some deep sh*t unknowingly?He nervously clicked the screen again.[The Blood Clan Restoration File loading...][The System Module has been integrated with the Host's brain and will now answer the Host's questions. But that process will take blood energy.]— Current Status —[Useable Blood Energy: 0]Low-Level Blood Clan Physique: has heightened senses and increased instincts towards danger. (Needs 100 points of Blood Energy to Evolve.)Unique Blood Abilities: None....Corey looked at the screen for quite a while in disbelief. He wasn't dumb, by now, he could sense this might be a tremendous fortune.Excited, he described the details inside the system to Theresa and she was also quite excited."But what is this Blood Energy, how can you get it?""Let me try checking it out." Smiling, He clicked on Blood Energy.[Blood Energy: Essence of life, every intelligent life has a set amount of it in their body, Blood Clan members have a much higher amount of it than others.]"It doesn't say how to get it though... It says it is there in all human bodies, maybe I just have to drink blood?""Let's try! Little Rin, go take the small knife from the kitchen." Theresa wasn't one to wait.Rin immediately scooted to the kitchen and ran back with a small knife.Theresa took it and made a small cut on her finger. "Here, Corey."Corey took her finger and put it into his mouth.Immediately, her blood moved into his throat and a warm sensation trembled in his stomach.He even liked the taste.[Blood Energy: 0.1]"Yeah, Big Sis, it worked!" Corey exclaimed happily.Now that he had energy, he wanted to immediately ask the System some questions. But he didn't want to lose this rare opportunity, so he didn't let her finger out of his mouth and just kept sucking on it.Some more blood oozed out into his body and the warm sensation deepened ever so slightly."Core..Corey, I... Am feeling a bit dizzy," Theresa said with struggle.Corey frowned and stopped. "With just that drop of blood, you already feel dizzy?"He looked at the screen and asked, "Hey system, why is my big sister so dizzy with just a drop of blood?"He didn't really expect an answer but he was curious.His Blood Energy went from 0.2 to 0.1[The Energy the Heir absorbed was her foundational blood energy, which will sap her stamina heavily and will make her permanently weaker, even though the small amount of blood would only result in a negligible permanent decrease in her strength.]It was then that it actually started registering in Corey's mind that this was not some game, he was playing with dangerous things.Even though it said it was negligible amount, it was still harmful for Theresa. It woulf have been bad if he greedily drank more of her blood.He gulped and then asked, "Is there any way to get Blood Energy without harming others?"His Blood Energy became 0.[Yes, you can earn Blood Energy by eating Blood Fruits.]'Blood Fruits? Isn't that like really expensive?' Corey smiled wryly.He knew what a Blood Fruit was, it was a famous commodity that was much more expensive than Gold, it was a heal-all medicine after all.It was said to even heal Cancer if eaten in sufficient amounts.Such a magical fruit would of course be expensive.He had once wanted to buy that to heal Theresa's legs but then came to know healing her legs was impossible even with Blood Fruits.He was confident that he could earn money easily, but without being able to go to any villages, it was impossible.That is why, he had always given his ideas to Theresa and it almost always worked, but they could never grow rich, or even have decent money because of the limitation of each of them being filthbloods."Big Sister, it says it is harmful to you if I drink your blood..." he spoke but abruptly stopped.Theresa was asleep and Rin was showing the shush sign by putting a finger over her lips.He smiled.Well, now I have to think of it by myself...Deep in the night, Theresa woke up with a start and looked around, it was dark, so she couldn't see much of their surroundings; but she could still feel around the bed.Her hands searched the bed and soon, she could feel the warm body of little Rin just beside her.'Where did Corey go?' she wondered in a bit of anxiety.Then she left the bed and moved out, taking a small match and lighting up the candle, it was finally bright enough to let her see her surroundings.Corey was not in this room.She frowned and opened a door to leave the room, then closed it behind her.And with just that, she was in a whole different setting.Here, it was filled with dust and even though only the candlelight brightened the area, you could see many broken and disgusting objects.For Theresa, it was a usual sight, so she didn't mind and moved around the trash to head outside.This building that they lived in was in the middle of a garbage dump, so no matter how much they cleaned it, it would still become
Waking up groggily, Corey instinctively looked around and found that he was in the middle of the bed and being hugged by both his big sister and little sister.They were sleeping above his hand to boot.'Sigh... My arm will hurt like hell when they move...' He then looked up and thought of the system screen; it immediately appeared infront of him.As red and translucent as it was yesterday.'So it truly was not a dream...' He smiled and put the screen away with a thought.That thing was his hope.The screen's setup was very advanced even though it seemed to have some malicious goals. It could be opened and closed with a thought.He then looked at the two girls sleeping like logs on each of his sides and gently moved his hands to make them fall on his chest.'Much better.' Now they could sleep comfortably, and his hands wouldn't hurt either.Even though his hands were hurting much more after they left with their weight.Of course, Rin didn't weigh much so it was okay, but Theresa was
"Big Sis, so I am at this juncture and I just couldn't figure out what to do now... So where do you think I can find some blood to increase my power?"Theresa looked at him irritatedly as she was brushing Rin's teeth. It was not that Rin couldn't do it by herself but Theresa liked to do it since Rin was too sloppy sometimes.Better clean those gums best.Corey indignantly chuckled at the irritated look and said, "I really can't find anyway... Just give me an Idea here!""That's okay but you can't even wait till I brush her?" Truly, all that was in his head now was that thing which suddenly appeared.Not that she herself wasn't thinking of it a lot but still...After brushing Rin, Theresa let her rinse her mouth and came next to Corey, and then asked: "I understand it might be harmful to us and you don't want to use our blood, but still, can't you just take one or two more drops from me and ask the screen thingy for a way to get the Blood Energy?"It was so simple, it seemed to answer
Corey and Rin fried three eggs from the small stove on the side and split them into three portions, then they brought them to the bed."Let's eat," he said while looking at Theresa who was lazily looking at them."Rin, feed me," she lazily asked."Yes," Rin smiled and fed her and Corey ate his own piece."Corey, ask the screen thingy your questions."Corey nodded and started thinking of the questions.For one thing, he started by crossing off things he knew.A drop of blood didn't equal 0.1, but a drop of blood he directly injected from Theresa did."Why is it so, system? Why does the blood I take with my hand and drink don't give any increase in Blood Energy?"He had tried yesterday night, but her blood didn't work like that.[System initiation has given you the innate capability of all true Blood Clan members. It was locked away alongside your ability to grow but now it is unlocked. You can suck Blood Energy out of others.]'I see...'Rin said from the side, "Read it aloud."Corey t
Swoo.Hek.Huuuf...Breathing slightly heavily and digging more into the ground, Corey abruptly stopped as a wooden sound echoed inside the room.By now, he had dug only about one and a half meters, and even that had taken him more than 5 hours.He was sweating heavily but he was also suddenly filled with energy due to the wooden sound.Rin and Theresa looked down from above the hole and Theresa jumped down. She was muddy and dirty since she was shifting the mud he put into the house away from the bed.She wasn't really that lazy not to help. "Try digging more," She said.Corey nodded and pushed the rusty shovel into the ground; that wooden sound echoed out again.They both exchanged glances and started to move the mud away using their hands. When it was clean, it finally became visible.Some kind of wooden thing.They struggled for some more time and removed the mud entirely from above it and a small door came to sight.It had a lock but Corey hit it with the shovel and it immediate
Corey and Theresa didn't speak with each other and Corey calmly pulled the wooden door open.It creaked and then fell to the side, making dust scatter, but Corey's gaze was focused on something else, he was looking right at what was below.And unexpectedly, it was a ladder that led to darkness instead of the tomb he had expected."Rin, give me the candle," Corey said with a slight eagerness mixed with nervousness.Fwoosh.Rin lit a candle and passed it down to him. The doorway below to the ladder was just enough for one person, so he climbed down first but Theresa followed right after.Nevertheless, his voice echoed from below: "Don't come down Rin."Corey then waited for Theresa to reach closer to him before going down. Keeping the candle to his side and providing light for both of them.Soon, after some more climbing down, Corey put his leg down and he was standing on solid ground.He looked up at Theresa and helped her silently climb down the ladder and onto the ground.Then, he l
As Rin was eating the fruit and enjoying the taste from the side.

Suddenly, Corey clenched his teeth.An ungodly pain was building up in his guts and he could feel it slowly climb up his throat.'No...I might scream!' he stumbled and moved without speaking. No, he couldn't speak.He walked with weak legs and slowly climbed down into the basement. Theresa was startled and immediately followed behind him and this time, Rin followed alongside.In the darkness, he climbed down the ladder wordlessly and finally lost all his power and weakly lied on the cold rocky floor. Theresa and Rin reached down and looked at him."Grr..." he growled slightly, "Rin, close... the basement door!"Rin immediately closed it and the only source of light vanished, hiding them all in the darkness.A silence lingered for some minutes before pained growls echoed. and that soon became painful screams.The girls wanted to go closer to them but Corey screamed, "NO!
