My Dracula System: Rise Of A Warrior

The Mysterious Letter

“Hey level zero boy.” Rizzo called out as he slowly approached, his goonies circling around Rylan.

“What do you want? I don't want any trouble.” Rylan said, stepping backwards.

“Let me tell you something. You're a weakling, Rylan," Rizzo sneered. " Which means failure. And I am allergic to failure. So here's the deal. You're going to apply for a group change, or else…."

Rizzo held Rylan's arm, and Rylan felt an intense heat coming from Rizzo's hand, burning his flesh.

Rylan felt a surge of anger at Rizzo's behavior, but he knew that he was outnumbered. He had no choice but to accept Rizzo's ultimatum.

"Fine," he muttered. "I'll apply for a group change."

Rizzo sneered at him. "Good choice, weakling. You won't regret it."

As Rylan walked away, he felt a sense of relief wash over him. He had never wanted to be part of a group like Rizzo's anyway. He was better off on his own. 

From there, Rylan headed straight to the home room teacher's office. Mr. Leo, a kind-hearted man with a warm smile, looked up from his desk.

"Ah, Rylan! What brings you here today?"

Rylan took a deep breath before speaking. "I want to request a team change, sir."

Mr. Leo's eyebrows rose in surprise. "A team change? Why the sudden change of mind, Rylan?"

Rylan hesitated for a moment before answering. "To be honest, sir, I don't think I'm compatible with my current team. They don't want me, and I feel like I'll never make progress with them."

Mr. Leo nodded thoughtfully, his eyes filled with understanding. "I see. Well, let me see what I can do. Ah, yes! I think I have just the team for you."

Rylan's eyes widened with excitement as Mr. Leo announced his new teammates. "You'll be joining Drake and John's team. I think you'll find that you work well together."

Rylan felt a wave of relief wash over him. He was familiar with Drake and John, and he knew that they were both kind.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Leo!" Rylan exclaimed, his eyes shining with gratitude.

Mr. Leo smiled warmly. "You're welcome, Rylan. I'm glad I could help. Now, off you go! I have work to do."

Rylan turned to leave, but Mr. Leo's voice stopped him. "Rylan, wait a minute."

Rylan turned back to face Mr. Leo, who was looking at him with a concerned expression. "What's that burn mark on your arm?" Mr. Leo asked, his eyes narrowing.

Rylan's heart skipped a beat as he tried to think of an excuse. "Oh, it's nothing, sir. I just burned my arm at home while cooking before I came to school."

Mr. Leo's eyes lingered on Rylan's arm for a moment before he nodded. "Alright, Rylan. Just be more careful in the future, okay?"

Rylan nodded hastily, feeling a wave of guilt wash over him. He knew that Mr. Leo didn't believe him, and he couldn't blame him. The burn mark on his arm was definitely not from cooking.

As Rylan left the office, he couldn't shake off the feeling that Mr. Leo suspected something. And he was right. Mr. Leo's eyes narrowed as he watched Rylan leave. He had a feeling that Rylan's burn mark was not an accident, and he suspected that Rizzo, Rylan's former teammate, was involved.

Rizzo came from the fire faction, and he was the only one in Rylan's previous team with a fire ability.

He made a mental note to keep an eye on Rizzo and to speak with Colonel Glenn about the situation. He didn't want any of his students to feel bullied or threatened.

…..

….

When Rylan got home, he entered the house, slamming the door behind him. 

He noticed that Gaius was not in the house. However he was still fuming from the events of the day.

Not being able to awaken an ability was bad enough, but being bullied by Rizzo and his goons was the final straw.

Rylan cursed the day he was born, feeling like he was destined to be weak and powerless. He paced back and forth in his living room, feeling like he was going to explode.

“Mother and Father, why did you have to leave me like this?” He yelled.

“You left me with nothing. All I have left of you are memories, this useless pendant around my neck, and the letter you gave me….” Rylan paused as he recalled something.

Just then, his eyes fell on the box that contained the mysterious letter that his parents had left him. He had completely forgotten about it. The letter was addressed to him, and it had a note that said "To be opened on your 17th birthday".

Rylan's curiosity was piqued. He had turned 17 just a few weeks ago, and he had completely forgotten about the letter. He opened the box and took out the letter. His eyes widened as he read the contents. It sounded like something straight out of a fairy tale.

The letter revealed that Rylan was the last surviving Dracula, and that his powers would manifest when he turned 17. But there was a catch - when his powers awakened, a great evil would also be unleashed. The letter didn't explain what this evil was, but it warned Rylan that he would need to be careful.

The letter also mentioned that Rylan would need to wait for the guardians to find him. The guardians were a group of supernaturals who were dedicated to protecting humans from supernatural dangers.

Rylan's mind was reeling as he finished reading the letter. He couldn't believe what he was reading. He was a Dracula? And he had powers that were waiting to be unleashed?

‘Is it like the Dracula I see in movies? Do they exist? Vampires and werewolves don't even exist, no to talk of a Dracula.' Rylan shrugged.

But as he read on, Rylan realized that his powers would only manifest if he was in a near-death situation. He felt a surge of desperation. He needed to awaken his powers, no matter what it took.

Rylan's eyes landed on the window, and he felt a sudden urge to climb out onto the roof. He would jump from the second floor, and see if his powers would awaken. It was a crazy plan, but Rylan was desperate.
