Deep in the cave, Aldrin huddled against a rocky outcropping bracing himself for the slew of notifications that were going to pop up.

  “Holy shit,” Aldrin breathed out, looking at his gains but the reality of it all meant that he was slowly slipping further away from his humanity.

  He glanced at his empty Class slot, knowing full well that if he wanted to make a decisive blow to the bandit camp tonight, he would have to take one of the Classes presented to him. He hoped his Vampiric Powers would be enough to survive, but not enough to turn the tide. Quickly glancing over at the available skills, he decided he would pick two from it. He opted to buy Level 2 of Undead Body and Level 1 of Supernatural Reflexes, costing him ? 6 SP.

  A wave of reluctance reared its head when Aldrin came back to his empty class slot. If he chose to accept a Class presented to him, he would be treading further away from his humanity, fully solidifying his new life. However, the thoughts of a cure had pushed that reluctance away and filled him with hope instead. He didn’t care what he had to do to cure himself, he just wanted to return to a semblance of normalcy.

  “Alright, let’s get this over with then,” Aldrin said to himself, pulling up his options of classes.

  Seeing as the Vampire variant of a Mage focused on controlling massive amounts of undead, he completely shunned away from it, as it would lead him down a path that more than likely would get him killed before he could cure himself. Legions of Undead had a tendency to draw the attention of every Kingdom of Grenora and he did not want to draw any more attention to himself than necessary.

  He had reviewed the Vampire variant of a Rogue and thought about how easy it would be to sneak in and out of places if need be. Unfortunately, they seemed to be easily killed as they needed time to gather their strength to become a powerhouse the Class advertised. Hell, it seemed like all the choices presented to him were meant to be a slow build to power.

  Lastly, looking at the Fighter variant, he understood it was just the up close and personal type of one. Something he was already doing recently. Frowning, he questioned himself why he was even debating between the classes. Ripping the choice off like a bandaid, he finally chose the class that was going to give him an edge.

  Aldrin took a deep breath as the choice settled over him, then he opened his System Menu and opened up the new skill tree of Bloodletter.

  “Huh, more passive abilities than active abilities than I expected. They really do start off as low as they can,” Aldrin said to himself, taking the first Level of each skill.

  Aldrin had opted not to view the next level for now, hoping that the first of each would be enough to make it through the night. All that was left to do now was distribute at least some of the Skill Points into his stats. Hoping that there was no added information because of his race and class change, he reviewed what each Stat meant.

  Relieved that nothing had changed in the information of Stats, Aldrin allocated 40 of Skill points. Foremost, he raised his Wisdom from 20 to 40, hoping it would allow some control over his impulses to kill for blood, leaving him with 20 Skill Points to allocate. Then he distributed 10 points into Strength raising it from 20 to 30, 5 points into Vitality raising it from 20 to 25, and lastly 5 points into Charisma raising it from 20 to 25.

  Looking at the rest of his 32 Skill Points left over, ”Ah why the hell not? Might as well flesh out my class as best as I can then since I am not going to have it long,” He begrudgingly said to himself, pulling up his Class skills again for the next level skills.
