Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

Noah began to consider something if he were able to create Lifeblood Jewels, wouldn\'t it be possible to add the Skills he had earned through drinking blood and eating monsters to make new ones?

However, the Blood Progenitor came with a quick answer.

"Certainly, it could be possible, but I don\'t recommend it, at least until you manage to get many Skills. Lifeblood Jewels don\'t delete the Skills you have, it simply uses them as components and copy-pastes their information from within the System to create power that belongs directly to your soul. They are more like special Abilities you have on top of Skills, by using Skills in combination with Lifeblood Jewels, you get the best performance, don\'t you? Whenever you can get true Skill Fusion, things will change, you will be able to merge Skills from the root, and create new powers… The best thing you could do is to abuse both Skill and Lifeblood Jewels and not neglect any for the other," said the Blood Progenitor, making Noah think about what to do now.

"Well, didn\'t Skills disappear when I use them to make Lifeblood Jewels? Isn\'t that life Skill Fusion?" asked Noah.

"Although they don\'t appear within the Status, you already know how to use them independently, right? Skills are like spells that become engraved into your mind, after you\'ve used them for so long, you\'ve become exceptional at it, and can use them even without them being present in the Status… Skill Fusion might help you fuse Skills over already existing Path Jewels, which is the key to upgrade them to the next Realms. Additionally, gathering more Skills is recommended for now regarding those acquired from monsters," said the Blood Progenitor.

"Hm… I see. So you mean that the best thing I could do is to harbor and collect as many Skills as I can?" asked Noah.

"That\'s right, whenever you upgrade the System there will be more functions that will aid you in what to do with such Skills… For now, creating Path Jewels from your old Skills would be the best course of Action… I recommend you one that is made of your soul-related and mind-related skills to enhance such capabilities even further," said the Blood Progenitor.

"Hm… You\'ve really become quite polite, fine, let\'s go with that…" said Noah.

"I have become like this because I have resigned myself at this point, at least, I have something to do by assisting you instead of merely being confined inside a mental cage for eternity…" sighed the Blood Progenitor.

"Heh, I suppose there might be more things that you\'re trying to hide, but whatever," said Noah, quickly gathering many Skills together to use as ingredients for a Path Jewel!

Noah seemed to be wrong about Skill Fusion, as it wouldn\'t be the same as creating Path jewels, but a greater and more useful ability than just that! Although the creation of Path Jewels was named Skill Fusion, the Skill Fusion he would acquire through the upgrade of the System might be even greater, and contain hidden secrets within…

For now, he decided to create a new Path Jewel related to his soul, so he could strengthen it to greater levels.

Noah browsed through his extensive Skill List, finding the things he required.

"These ones…"

…

[Using Skills as Ingredients to form the Lifeblood Jewel…]

[Inner Blood and Flesh Realm (S)] + [Grotesque Soul of Abyssal Yin and Brilliant Yang (SS)] + [Soul Group Thought Processing (S)] + [Eldritch Soul Embodiment (A)] + [Telepathy Network (S)] + [Surpass Limits: Soul (A)] + [Soul Devour (A)] + [God Slayer (S)]

Flash!

Noah watched with amusement as the many bubbles of bright crimson-red colors, the Skills, began to converge inside of his soul, while being poured with brilliant ethereal material, the Lifeblood Points!

Point by point, the massive bubble of energy began to crystalize, as a larger than usual Skill, the SSS-Rank Blood Progenitor Skill, which already seemed to have lost one-third of its mass gave up another half, fusing itself over this Lifeblood Jewel!

FLASH!

The Lifeblood Jewel shined with bright colors once more, finally forming at long last! Noah couldn\'t help but find the sight wondrous…

The small Lifeblood Jewel resembled a beautiful ruby, infused with the image of what seemed to be a translucent aura, Noah\'s soul, which also had a crimson-red eye and tentacles engraved into the Lifeblood Jewel…

Ding!

[You exchanged 4000 Lifeblood Points!]

[You created the [Spectral Divine Vampire King Abyssal Soul (SSS-Rank)][Lifeblood Jewel]!]

Noah quickly decided to inspect the new Path Jewel, which quickly fused into his soul through an orifice that had opened itself after 4000 Lifeblood Points were spent…

…

[Spectral Divine Vampire King Abyssal Soul (SSS-Rank)][Lifeblood Jewel] (0/15): A Lifeblood Jewel that was made through the combination of a ridiculous variety of Skills, containing the true essence of the Divine Soul of the Vampire King on all of its eternal glory.

More Skill Trees can be opened, including Abilities such as Divine Yin and Demonic Yang Dual Soul, Spectral Soul Legion, Abyssal Horror, Transcend Limits: Divine Soul, Gluttonous Devourer of Souls, God Destroyer.

…

Noah\'s eyes flashed with greed and fascination as he saw what was in front of him, he could get a bunch of new and powerful Abilities, and all of them were within his grasp, he still had enough Lifeblood Points to at least get the first batch!

[You exchanged 3000 Lifeblood Points!]

[Spectral Divine Vampire King Abyssal Soul (SSS-Rank)][Lifeblood Jewel] (0/15) > (15/15): A Lifeblood Jewel that was made through the combination of a ridiculous variety of Skills, containing the true essence of the Divine Soul of the Vampire King on all of its eternal glory.

…

The moment Noah maxed the first branch, the Lifeblood Jewel revealed more of its secrets to him!
