《Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System 》Chapter 6: I Can Get Skills By... Eating?

-----
After stuffing himself with blood and flesh, Chaos felt like he suddenly gained a stream of new power.
Albeit it was not so much comparable to the vast strength he possessed since birth, it was sizable enough for him to notice.
[Your [Blood Core Rank: [Level IV: Draconic Vampire (Middle Stage)] has advanced into the [Blood Core Rank: [Level IV: Draconic Vampire (Upper Stage)]!]
[All your stats have increased]
[Your [Dragon Heart Rank: [Level IV: Adult Blood Dragon (Middle Stage)] has advanced into the [Dragon Heart Rank: [Level IV: Adult Blood Dragon (Upper Stage)]!]
[All your stats have increased]
[Your [Existence Realm: [Pseudo Demi-Deity: 1/9 (Initial Stage)] has advanced into the [Existence Realm: [Pseudo Demi-Deity: 1/9 (Middle Stage)]!]
[All your stats have increased]
[The Levels of several Skills have increased!]
Chaos glanced at the constant System Windows with a bit of surprise, he had gotten stronger by just killing and eating small fry, it seemed that there was no limit to his powers and that even if he were born strong, that he could grow even stronger.
"I still wonder what this is really all about…" he wondered, as he still didn't completely understand how he could get this power by simply killing and eating some "random" Orcs.
However, the System still had a few surprises for him.
[Bloodline Assimilation Complete]
[Green Skin Bloodline (Orc)] has been assimilated!]
[You learned the [Orc's Wrathful Charge], [Orc's Burly Physique], and [Orc's War Cry] Skills!]
Suddenly, Chaos gained Skills!
By merely willing it, Chaos was able to see their brief descriptions.
[Orc's Wrathful Charge]
Spend Mana to coat yourself with the embodiment of your own rage, forming a crimson-red aura that enhances your speed and charging at your enemy with all the insane wrath of an Orc.
[Orc's Burly Physique]
Your physique is naturally gifted by the strength of an Orc, making your muscles tougher and stronger, enhancing your Strength Stat growth.

[Orc's War Cry]
Harbor your anger and spend some Mana to unleash a loud war cry, which intimidates your enemies and lowers their defenses as long as you can break through their wills.
…
It seemed that bloodline Skills didn't possess Levels, so Chaos could not develop them like his Abilities, but they were still interesting and could offer a wide arrange of uses the more he could accumulate. Perhaps he could even fuse them together, albeit he had no idea how he would be able to do such a thing, to begin with…
"Skills by eating… Is this… related to this Ability I possess?" wondered Chaos, as he checked something in particular… one of the strange Abilities named "Unique Skill" which also didn't possess levels but that was included into Abilities and not into the Bloodline Skills.
[Unique Skill: All-Consumption]
The Unique Skill that only an aberration such as the user can possess, giving it the ability to devour anything and acquire power from it… the stronger the energy and essence within the object it devours, the more power can be assimilated.
[Unique Skill: Unique Existence: Vampire Dragon]
The Unique Skill that only a unique existence such as a Vampire Dragon could possess, grants the user the ability to gradually unlock more Abilities within the Vampire and Dragon Skill Trees through development, while also having the ability to absorb Bloodlines and assimilate their power through the consumption of large quantities of fresh blood.
"Perhaps it is the combination of these two Abilities… Though, did you need to call me an Aberration?" wondered Chaos, as he received no response from the System, and it wasn't as if he expected one, as he quickly walked back to the castle where Belphegor awaited him, forming thumbs up with his flames.
"My lord! Your slaughter has been phenomenal, you've already exuded the tyranny of a true Evil Lord!" said Belphegor.

"Yeah, it was a good meal… Though I wonder if I should feel a little bad for what I did… Should I? I don't particularly feel any remorse," said Chaos.
"Of course you don't, my lord. You are a being of extreme greatness, you are way above measly Orcs, by slaughtering them, you've actually given them a favor! Taking their lives and eating them for your own nourishment… You've actually just honored their existences!" said Belphegor.
"I see… Well, I don't think it is that much like that, but well, whatever…" said Chaos, he had considered that he might had felt guilty after having slaughtered so many beings that were not able to fight back…
But what was the point of that anyway? He didn't care. He just saw it as food at the end. In the wild, animals have no mercy with their prey, they are simply trying to survive by taking the lives of others, and so did Chaos. It was simply common sense.
He was feeling hungry after being born, and he might have weakened even further if he didn't eat a lot of meat and drank a lot of blood, in Ainz's castle there wasn't any food either, so he had to take what he had in front of him.
And lastly, the Orcs were trying to assault the castle of his father and would quite possibly take away his heart, as it was made of a jewel they saw as a precious item, he simply did what he had to do.
"Yeah, it doesn't really matter, my lord. They were merely here to serve as nourishment. Now that we are done with this, we need to talk a lot about many things, so let's enter into the comfortable interior of your castle," said Belphegor.
Chaos and Belphegor quickly moved inside the castle once more, Chaos wondered more about this world the more he learned about things such as Orcs and the System, so he couldn't wait to ask a million things Belphegor and have a proper introduction to how things truly were.
In the meantime, he checked his Status by merely willing to see it.

The first thing he noticed was that his Stats had skyrocketed despite having just eaten some flesh and blood, shocking him. It seemed that even small fry was a nice way to grow stronger if they came in the thousands.
Perhaps he should wipe out all the Orcs of the planet so he could gain more power? This was certainly an option now within Chaos's mind, as he recalled his past, he couldn't help but feel completely detached from any type of human morality, so this was an easy conclusion.
He was certainly not devoid of emotions, it was simply that his mind was strange now, it was twisted, as if reformed, but he didn't felt discomfort or that this person wasn't him… In fact, he felt like he had finally found himself and also had a home to belong to.

Journey of Infinite Steps
Science Fiction/ Low fantasy Iliad. Oliver just wanted a job that could keep his family fed, and himself sane. Was that so much to ask for? Apparently. As he instead ends up facing monsters and dodging his way to another world instead. Competent as he views himself figuring out how to reopen a portal back home by himself is defiantly above his knowledge base. Of coarse it would be vastly simpler if he could keep 'getting back home' as his primary goal. 'Staying alive' is unfortunately a far more immediate and relevant goal. I will post any content warnings on a Per Chapter basis. Divisive content will be as skip-able as I can reasonably manage Discord Link will be available for those interested in assisting editing/ coauthoring. Especially character writers/those willing to work out the math/ economies and world building even if only as a wall to bounce ideas off of.-----Full Synapsis contains serious spoilers----- Looking to take care of his family, Oliver finds himself flung into a faraway place. Try as he might, his Iliad will not be simple or peaceful as he'd like. Alas the slow and unending war of Chaos and Order has long memories and longer reach. If Oliver is to make his way back home it looks like He'll have to solve the universe one fight and mystery at a time. Especially as the Laws of Physics shift, often on a per world basis. Hopefully there is still a home to come back to.
