Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

Chapter 8 - Checking The System And Experimenting

-----

Chaos was invited into a strange room within the large castle, one that was even forgotten by the Ainz before…

​​

The bathroom!

"Belphegor, what is this place?" asked Chaos.

"This is the bathroom, my lord. As a fleshy being, I am sure that you must want to bathe yourself," said Belphegor.

"Is there water here?" asked Chaos.

"Water? Why yes, there is Nether Water directly extracted from the Nether Ice that is stored underground! In the past, Master Ainz also had some flesh servants such as Zombies, Gargoyles, or even Goblins and Demons, so they usually were required to have high hygiene!" said Belphegor.

"I see… Well then, go away, I want my privacy," said Chaos.

"Oh! S-Sure thing!" said Belphegor, who was planning to aid his lord at bathing, but he was quickly cast away from the bathroom!

Chaos moved inside as he took away his clothes within the near darkness of the place, but he was able to inherently see in the dark.

However, as the more he adapted to the dark vision, a sudden system notification emerged.

Ding!

[You learned the [Dark Vision: Level 1] Ability]

"Oh…"

Chaos was startled for a millisecond as he quickly waved away the System Window, it was rather obvious what the Ability did, and he intuitively knew its information the moment he had acquired it.

Dark Vision helped any being to see through the dark, not only night, but any place that was devoid completely of light was as visible as a day for a being with such an Ability.

As Chaos wondered if Dark Vision could somehow evolve into X-Ray Vision, he quickly used the bath, as suddenly, Nether Water was poured over him.

Even as an Undead he felt it was incredibly cold, but each time it bathed his pale-white skin, he felt stronger… Could it be that this bathroom not only cleaned the fleshy creatures but also reinforced them?

Perhaps Nether Water also helped as a way to maintain flesh beings from rotting, especially Zombies or other Undead that had flesh.

And as Chaos was included in such a category, he felt like his skin was reinforced.

He decided to open his mouth and drink a mouthful of it as he relaxed for a bit, he had done a big battle already, and he wanted to assess things out for the moment.

And while bathing in the strange and mystical water, he began to check his Status once more, which emerged by him merely willing it.

He glanced at the statistics, they seemed rather obvious at what they did.

[Vitality: Determines your total health, the lower it goes the weaker you grow, when it reaches zero it means you are on the verge of dying]

[Mana: Determines the total amount of Mana within the user's soul and body, transcendental energy that flows through all of the cosmos. It helps the user cast Magic and Active-type Skills and Abilities]

[Strength: Determines your total physical power, the strength of your muscles, bones, skin, and even things such as how sharp your claws can be. The more you possess the stronger you are physical]

[Agility: Determines your speed and dexterity, it is determined by the flexibility of your body and the strength you can infuse on them to move even faster, the higher it is the faster you are]

[Stamina: Determines your capability of resisting physical damage of any kind, the higher it is the more hits you can take, and the more energy you possess to keep fighting, certain Skills might use Stamina]

[Magic: Determines the power and mental capacity of the conjuration of magic-based spells, abilities, and skills, alongside determining the reduced amount of magical damage you receive by 50% of the total stat]

But it seemed to be still quite complex.

In this System, there was no magic defense, but Magic by itself worked as both magic damage and magic defense! Albeit magic defense was only 50% of the magic stat, for some reason.

Chaos glanced at this with an expressionless and disinterested face, albeit he was very fascinated and interested about this. The reason behind his expression was that his face was very stiff for some unknown reason. Perhaps being experimented with and made into a guinea pig for so long on his past life has made the emotions of his soul dull to the point that their connection with his facial muscles was lessened… or perhaps he was simply like this. Whatever was the case, Chaos didn't mind.

He, however, desired to know more. He was filled with curiosity, and because the System easily gave him explanations about anything he could see within the status, he quickly decided to check his Abilities.

[Unique Skill: Chaos Born]

The Unique Skill that someone born from Chaos possesses. Your soul is unique as it is completely made of Chaos, and can inherently possess an affinity with Chaos Attribute.

You have the power to conjure Chaos Magic, create Miasma, shape Miasma, absorb Miasma, devour Miasma, and corrupt other beings with Miasma.

Your soul is uniquely shaped, and cannot be affected by mind-controlling abilities, and it can't be easily broken either.

Having a Chaotic Soul grants you the inherent ability to be capable of assimilating anything within the chaos.

"I see… I guess it is the same ability I had in my previous life." Thought Chaos.

Chaos seems to be inherent with the power of the Chaos Attribute, which was harbored inside of his soul for mysterious reasons.

He recalled his previous life, as he was used as a guinea pig for the extraction of his powers, which were used for the production of weapons of mass destruction.

However, he didn't know that these humans ended up destroying themselves with the power they extracted from him… So he still felt bitter each time he recalled the "suffering" parts of his past.

Chaos' mind began to think about other things quite quickly, browsing through other Abilities that seemed to belong to the Vampire and Dragon Skill Trees which he could learn and level up gradually as he progressed his strength.

[Immortal Body: Level 2]

The ability to possess an ageless and immortal body inherent in high caste Vampires.

Grants the user the ability to possess the power of natural regeneration, which grants the power to regenerate instantly the moment a wound is made, the speed of the healing and the intensity of it depends on the Skill level.

Additionally, lost limbs, bones, organs, and more can be regenerated except for things such as the Blood Core and the Dragon Heart.

By glancing at this Skill, Chaos wondered if he could slice himself apart and use such flesh to eat himself and satiate his hunger whenever there was no food. It was certainly a terrifying and immoral thing to do, but Chaos was certainly unmoved by such things.

In fact, he tried it right away.

Chaos' claws grew larger as he sliced apart his left arm with his right-hand claws, no pain was felt and the cut was clean.

Some blood began to come out, but the bleeding stopped just a few seconds after.

His muscles and bones began to grow back and then, a new arm was there, just as new.

Chaos glanced at his cut-off limb with curiosity, as he tasted it.

Crunch.

"Hm?"

However, before he could taste it, it suddenly began to break down and dissipated into ashes.

"How odd…" he said.
