The Billionaire's Secret System

Seven: Power

The vampires were swift. Strong.

The hunters were no match for them eventually. Even Nathan and Malik weren't left out..

Malik barely stabbed two, while Nathan did nothing but stand there, behind Malik shaking.

Malik couldn't blame him. He was also afraid at this point.

It was obvious that they were going to lose the war.

Nathan breath faintly. His eyes blurry with his blood crawling into his eyes.

He was lying helplessly on the floor as he was thrown to the ground by a vampire.

Malik on the other hand barely breathe. His leg was broken and he was about beaten by a vampire.

[Store: Acquire a weapon]

[Skills section: Acquire a skill]

The screen before him kept displaying the notifications. Even after he neglected it finally.

“What strength do I have to use a weapon.” He said to himself.

As he laid on the floor, a memory flashed before him. A sad one.

He recalled how his father chased him out of the house. How Elsosa's father called him good for nothing. How she claimed her life was meaningless with him. How Don claimed he was going to die in here.

He smirked and began laughing like a maniac.

The vampires all paused, watching him with confusion.

He stood up sluggishly from the ground and wiped his bloody mouth.

“Let's do this again.” He said boldly. His voice cold as ice.

Two vampires rushed at him and then we're shot dead almost immediately.

[Weapon selected: Sniper pistol with wolf's fangs bullet.]

Malik was left alone as the vampire ran to attack Nathan too.

He shut him too.

A vampire grabbed him from the back and he struggled to get out of her group.

Soon others crowded him, mounting him to the ground.

In a blink of an eye, he stood up from the ground while pushing them all away from him.

The push was powerful that most of them hit the wall and even the ceiling.

SYSTEM: [Skill Acquired: Strength.]

Malik kept his mouth open. He sat on the ground as he could no longer use a leg. 

The scene appeared like magic to him.

This is the same Nathan that couldn't shoot a gun without hesitating or staggering.

“Could he be lying about having fighting experience?” Malik wondered.

Before his very eyes kept shooting the trudging vampire army.

Even when his bullets got exhausted, he pulled out a blade from thin air.

[New weapon selected.]

Malik fainted because he thought he was dreaming. Seeing Nathan fight like a pro was overwhelming.

Nathan finished off all the vampires in the lobby and collected their fangs as Malik would have done.

There was a red door just at the end of the lobby. The screen showed that the vampire king was in there.

Nathan gulped. He was still trying to understand what had happened to him. How he was able to do these things.

Nevertheless, the only way out of the hotel was through the vampire king and by killing him.

“I'II be back for you Malik.” Nathan said while walking majestically towards the door.

Although, they was a bit of tension in him. But part of him trusted this new skill he had acquire.

He discovered it was some kind of system. And it had given him an upper hand when the previous hunters failed.

He tore the door open with his feet and hung the big blade on his shoulder.

The vampire king was seated on his bed. He wasn't bothered by Nathan's sudden presence. 

He just smirked like he was mocking Nathan's intrusion.

The system chimes on, giving Nathan the details.

SYSTEM: [The vampire king. Faster than the rest vampire. Stronger too.]

[Weakness: His black heart]

He is lean with a pale skin of white. His eyes are black.

“I killed your minions. I'll do the same to you.” Nathan said to him while taking his sword from his shoulder and pointing it at him. He couldn't tell if he was being bold or being angry.

The vampire laughed mockingly. “You sound bold, but you're sweating like a scary cat.”

Nathan gnashed his teeth and gripped the sword firmly.

He stood at his distance, waiting for the vampire to attack. 

His eyes were fixed on him.

The vampire stands up gently from the bed and before Nathan could blink again, he was gone. Now standing behind him. Nathan turned around, swinging his sword as fast as he could, but the vampire was fast.

Nathan gasped as he could only catch a glimpse of the vampire when he moved.

Blood flowed from his hand to the sword's blade.

At first, he thought he had gotten the vampire king at the edge of the blade. But no. It wasn't the vampire's blood but his.

His hand had a deep cut on it. 

Nathan caught the blade from falling off his hand. He had been injured from the earlier fight, but somehow he failed to feel the pain until now.

If there was anything he had in mind. It's the determination to get out of the hotel alive.

Maybe he'll stop this hunt for good. Return back to his normal life, but he has to survive.

He never heard the vampire move. One second the room looks empty, the next a hand like cold iron locked around his throat and lifts him off the ground.

His back slams against the wall, hard enough to knock out the air out his lungs.

Nathan coughed out blood. His blade was a bit far from him.

If he doesn't act fast, he'll be at the mercy of the vampire king.

And the king isn't one to show mercy.

Nathan quickly touched the screen to explore the system's services. He wants to see what the system can help him with.

He was scrolling fast and couldn't read properly. The vampire was already close.

He stretched his hand and picked the sword quickly and stood up.

He swung the blade hoping to give himself distance, but the vampire king took to the air—throwing a backflip. 

The next blow comes with a closed fist to Nathan's stomach.

Nathan tries to breathe. A burn like fire, spreads through his chest with every inhale.

His vision became blurry.
