Kyle stared at the glowing text in front of him. "Ancestral Vampire Bloodline. So I am a bloodsucker, the fuck?"
He wasn't sure if he should be happy or sad. On one hand, vampires sounded cool, but ancestral vampire sounded way cooler. There was just one problem, drinking blood was not his thing.
[It isn't anyone's thing]
Kyle flinched. "You can talk—well, not talk, but you know what I mean."
The system did not reply, it just remained silent.
"Why aren't you saying anything?" he asked the system, but to anyone watching it looked as though he was speaking to an empty room.
He let out a sigh. "How do I even know my stats? What sort of useless system is this?"
"Hey! I'm not useless, you punk!"
This time it was not a floating screen in front of him, nor a voice in his head. Instead, it was a voice from beside him, and it was close.
Far too close.
Slowly, Kyle tilted his head to the left…
"Woah!"
He jumped to the side of the room, hurrying to shove off the creature that had appeared on his shoulder.
As a result, he crashed into his dresser, sending the whole thing collapsing down.
Now at the edge of the wall, he quickly grabbed the first thing that came to his hand—a heavy bottle of lotion. He cradled it in his hands and waved it threateningly at the figure in front of him.
"A rat? How did a rat get into the room?!"
"Hey! Mind your manners, I am no rat! I'm a mouse…" it said in a feminine voice.
"What's the difference?! You are both garbage swimmers."
The mouse's shoulders slumped slightly. The little vermin seemed genuinely offended.
'Maybe I went too far…'
On closer observation, Kyle realized that this was no ordinary rat… mouse, rather.
It looked just like a regular mouse, except for the fact that it was light pink in color, slightly transparent, and glowing.
'Wait, how did I not notice this at first?'
The mouse was staring at the ground now, as though it was expecting some sort of apology.
There was no chance in hell he was apologizing to a rat though…
Kyle got up and dusted his clothes, keeping a respectable distance between himself and the ra—mouse.
That was when he noticed yet another thing. "Where is Cyno?" he asked out loud.
He had been with him in the other world, so why was he not here?
If he was here, he would easily get rid of the little rodent in his room.
"Cyno is a summon. You can summon him at any time using your system," the mouse muttered, her voice barely a whisper.
Kyle glanced down at it and raised a brow. "And how do you know? What sort of strange world did I get transmigrated into that mice can talk?"
The mouse glanced up at him, giving him a deadpan look. "You can't be serious…"
Kyle's eyes narrowed.
A few seconds passed.
That was when he remembered an old book he read, a book where the system could manifest itself as a hot lady.
"Don't tell me I got a fucking rat!"
"Mouse! I am a mouse, you dunce!"
The mouse hopped into the air like a rabid animal and reached for his neck with its tiny arms, but before it could grab him Kyle darted to the side and it whistled past him.
"I'm sorry, okay?" he said, his hands raised defensively.
Even if he had drawn the short end of the stick, offending his system was always a terrible thing to do.
He didn't know what was waiting for him outside these walls; if it withdrew its help, then he might just die in the first few seconds.
"What is your name?"
The system glared at him. Its fur was already spiky from anger, but after a few seconds it relaxed and the mouse sighed.
Mind you, she was standing on two legs…
"Daisy…"
"Nice to meet you, Daisy. Once again, forgive my foolishness." Kyle smiled, hoping the little mouse would forgive him.
After staring at him a second later, the mouse sighed, sat down, and pouted. "Only because you begged…"

Kyle smiled, and then suddenly a new screen appeared in front of him.

Kyle glanced at the screen and turned to Daisy.
"Blood Rat, really?"
The mouse smirked. "I don't make the rules…"
Breathing out an annoyed sigh, his eyes moved down to the next tab. There were a ton of skills outlined there, but he had no idea what they meant.
"How do I know what these mean?"
The mouse snapped her fingers and a string of text appeared before him.
—Drain
When drinking the blood of an awakened individual, the host has the ability to extract their abilities and add them to his skills.
"This… this is actually OP."
To survive as a vampire he already had to drink blood. To be able to gain abilities from doing so was just out of this world.
That meant his skills would only continue to increase!
He glanced at the next skill and a small smile appeared on his face.
—After Dark (Passive)
During nighttime, the host gains a 50% buff to all skills and stats.
"Pretty standard for a vampire."
—Blood Manipulation
The host can manipulate their blood to a high degree. Spilled blood of others can also be manipulated, but to a lesser degree.
—Blood Lust
The host has a maddening drive for blood. When this craving is satisfied, he will gain a 50% all-round boost.
"Not bad, but the first part is more of a debuff…"
If he was to combine Blood Lust with After Dark, then he could perform at two times his usual capacity…
Finally, he glanced at the last tab….
