Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

After having acquired the Spearmanship Skill, I couldn't help but think something… Does this confirm that I can just learn any Skill? Although I lack a Talent, I am not bound by their limitations. Incredible, so this is how this works?

Somehow, it has become more exciting, perhaps I should continue trying out Dagger Techniques and other weapons… Although it took me so long to just learn Spearmanship that I don't know if I should give it a go.

At the very least, I will continue practicing martial arts using my fists and legs, that should eventually build up to some fighting skill, perhaps Martial Arts or Unarmed Fighting Technique? Whatever the case, this are excellent news for me.

Now, let's see the description of this Skill.

-----

​ [Spearmanship: Lv1]

Skill Proficiency: 0/10000

A Skill that has been made through your endless effort over using the spear. Your masterful usage of this millenary weapon has given you the ability to wield it even better than before. Your dexterity in the usage of the Spear, alongside all damage dealt using Spear Techniques is increased by +20% with each Level. Attacks using the spear have a 10% chance to inflict Intense Bleeding on the wound of a target.

Incredible, I didn't expect this to be such a good bonus. It enhances the damage and the dexterity of its usage. I wish I could practice it now, but I am too tired and I have an old man at my side spying on me. It would certainly be weird if he looked at me using my spear.

Anyways, the Skill also comes with the ability to inflict Intense Bleeding, well, only 10% chance, but that's still interesting. Is this a fixed status effect? This world really is ruled through strange game-like mechanics, but I have to just embrace it for now and use them to my advantage.

And another thing… the Skill proficiency requirements lowered. It was 20k before, but now it went to 10k. Why is that? Does it mean that the only hard part is actually learning the damn Skill, but after that, I can increase its level normally like anybody with a Talent related to spears?

…No, wait, that doesn't seem to be the case. After all, I have a curse that makes me have to do several times the same effort to level up a Skill. While some people would only take a few months, it might take me over a year, if not more.

But it seems that I am capable of learning Skill Proficiency faster thanks to Hard Worker, as it enhances my Skill Proficiency earned alongside my Experience Points. And now that Hard Worker increased in level to level 2, it increases Skill Proficiency and Experience Points earned by +40% instead of +20%... It took a long time to level up this Skill, so I am quite glad.

It seems this Skill gains proficiency by simply earning EXP and Skill Proficiency, so after earning so much EXP and leveling up thanks to the EXP multiplying tickets, it gained a lot of skill proficiency. Today's battle was more fruitful than I could have ever expected.

Now, I wonder what other Skills I could get or level up? Now that I have a +40% bonus to the Skill Proficiency earned, perhaps leveling up some skills or earning some others would become more simplistic.

Anyways, after the battles ended, I moved to the manor and things slowly began to wrap up. Ellergest took care of mostly everything after me, he explained everything that happened, and the Lord of this house, Carl, came running back from his trip in a nearby town after five hours of being told, the trip through carriage was rather quick at that.

The man was left speechless about everything going on and said that he needed a lot of time to process what had happened. Apparently Cassandra had been brainwashing him for a long time, and now that she died, this curse disappeared. The man felt disgusted with himself, fully knowing it was all a brainwashing curse after we explained everything to him… He didn't seem to accept Erdrich as his son either, and he told us that he didn't knew what to do with him.

"I can't have a child from that woman here…" He sighed. "Even less if… as you say, he inherited the demonic powers of her…" The man said in between tears.

"Hmm… It is true. We cannot really let the boy live his life freely if he's a half-demon." Said Ellergest. "But as Blank said, he is in full control of his powers. He was born from Cassandra who had modified her body and spirit orb with demon parts and inherited such power. Even then, he still has your bloodline…"

"But I can't… I don't want to risk the lives of my two other children, nor Charlotte or Treebark…" Sighed the man. "I can't… What if he goes insane one day and rampages around our manor?"

"…Certainly, that's a possibility. …Then, how about this? Let us adopt him. The priests always adopt children from the orphanage who have potential. The orphanages themselves are also handled by the church, the money we earn goes to the orphanages as well…" Said Ellergest.

"Lord Priest, are you willing to do such a thing?" Asked the man.

"The boy is innocent for the sins of his mother, he cannot be punished by them. That would be injustice… I understand your fears, but he's someone with talent. We could use him as a fighter, a war priest with the power of demons fighting for good instead of evil." Said Ellergest.

"I suppose this is it…" Sighed the man. "I will continue paying for him every month… It is the least I can do."

"Hm, you're a good man." Said Ellergest.

I suppose that wraps up what had happened. Elisabeth was rather surprised, alongside Jack and Seth about what I had done. They didn't believe it when Ellergest told them that I had beheaded the demon woman, but after Ellergest showed them the corpse, they couldn't deny it anymore. They over exaggerated and acted rather childishly, which was very annoying.
