Vampire Overlord System in the Apocalypse

-----

Noire, Sakura, and Sugar, the main robots of the house and who were already considered as members of the Vampire Family after they acquired Blood Core Batteries, enhanced versions of Mana Core Batteries that could self-upgrade themselves, giving various power such as body self-modification, magic material absorption, and even the ability to wield an attribute of magic which they developed into Abilities.

And as they consumed more materials, they grew even stronger.

Noah felt like they were even developing Souls of their own, and that they could perhaps one day be benefited by the System if they kept developing such souls or something.

And even if not, they were already plenty strong and could keep advancing at the side of Noah and everyone else by consuming magic materials and dropped items from Dungeon Monsters.

However, for now, Noah was giving them the task of accompanying Clementina into low-ranked Dungeons, as they could enter weaker dungeons unlike them.

This was not out of goodwill, Noah was asking them to gather more and more low-ranked cores, as he wanted to build up a giant treasure of Cores of all Ranks.

He already had even tons of F-Rank, E-Rank, and D-Rank Cores, and he kept accumulating them, something that seemed to actually be illegal by the government, as they always wanted to keep all the Cores for themselves and not allow their selling.

However, Noah was not saving them to sell them, no…

He was planning something with them, even bigger.

As he became a Guild, it was obvious that he would need a ton of Guild Members, he had already planned on turning into Vampiric beings the several servants around the house, and even Arthur's parents, even, and making them grow stronger fast would be a good idea.

And it was not as if he were completely babysitting them, as they would pay him back by also going to grind and farm Cores and Treasures in Dungeons in exchange.

Like this, he could build an army of Vampires, Blood Servants, and Robots!

It was really as if he was slowly building his own Empire…

He simply needed to keep striving forward!

To keep seeking more!

But he was concerned, or just weirded out by something.

"Why are you wearing maid outfits?" he asked.

Sugar, Noire, and Sakura glanced at each other, the three girls were all adorable Fembots at this point, their beauty in pair with living girls, but perhaps given an even greater charm.

Alongside that, Noah noticed that the design of their bodies had slightly changed as they kept growing stronger, something a bit similar to evolution…

Oh, and their cybernetic eyes have all turned red, and their auras were similar to those of Vampires to an extent.

"W-Well… We wanted to serve you as maids too, Noah-sama!" said Sakura.

"It was Sakura's idea," said Sugar.

"Indeed, it was her idea," said Noire.

"Eh?! You traitors!" said Sakura.

"…I see. Well, whatever quirky thing you do shouldn't really bother me as long as you get your work done," said Noah.

"Oh, thank you! …Do we look cute?" asked Sakura adorably.

"…No," said Noah.

"Geh…!"

Sakura touched her chest as if she felt her heart shatter into pieces, kneeling as if defeated.

"Noah that was a bit mean…" said Iris.

"Iris, you are the only person I would ever call "cute". I don't have any interest in robots," said Noah nonchalantly… he was a very direct man with his words!

"Aw…" said Iris, feeling moved by Noah's words.

"Anyways, you three make sure to keep improving and eating as many magic items as you can harvest with your own effort, perhaps tomorrow we can finally all join into a Dungeon exploration," said Noah.

"Nice!" said Sugar.

"That will be rather good, I am eager to explore new Dungeons," said Noire.

"So where are we going today?" wondered Sakura.

"You are going to the C-Rank Dungeon we went to yesterday, good luck… Perhaps your element will be at a great disadvantage there, Clementina. Do your best for your own growth, so you don't fall behind," said Noah expressionlessly, trying to give her encouraging words, although this only made her worry.

"C-Can I at least get an Ability Core? I saw that you had a few…" said Clementina.

"No!" said everyone at the same time!

The Vampire Family was unified as a family, but they were also selfish!

The only one they would give anything they earned would be Noah himself, for everyone else, you better do it yourself!

This was part of Noah's inner policy within the family.

Even with all the Cores, he was stacking up, he would make those that benefited from the pay a lot.

Or even more, he had even come out with the possibility of opening a shop or a Guild Contribution Point System to reward those that worked very hard with such cores and items.

After all, if Noah's greatest desire were to conquer the world, wouldn't he need loyal and strong subordinates? Blood Servants, Robots, and also a ton of Vampires!

Noah was ambitious, and malicious as well! He would not stop until the world was his, and perhaps, go even beyond that!

However, for now, he needed to calm down and assess things, for now, the present was now, and the future was yet uncertain.

It was good to prepare for the future, but completely disregarding the present for that future he has yet to reach was not a good thing.

Noah saw Clementina and the Robots set off alongside part of his Blood Servants with them, which he added a few Fire Wyrms to the mix as well, he had also made sure that they carried some items and food at the very least, those were things he did not mind giving to those that served him with loyalty.

He had even made some potions with his own blood, which could even come handy to the Blood Servants and specially Clementina, which he expected would have the hardest time in such a scorching dungeon.

"Welp, she's gone. What should we do now?" wondered Arthur.

"We will do what I said we will do. Let us go upgrade our Hunter License into B-Rank, and then in the same place we create our Guild," said Noah nonchalantly, as everyone nodded, the maids and butlers began to clean the table as the party finally took off at around midday, after reaching B-Rank they didn't care about school any longer.

However, Noah planned to come there afterward anyways, to meet Fernand the last time… of course, not to kill him, but to leave him a little present and make him a nice… friend.

Although Noah still held some resentment, he felt like such problems of the past were, after all, the past.

Somehow, he had not forgotten them, but he felt like such problems such as bullies or other stupid stuff was already way below him, he now had a broader sight in front of him, a world to take over.

Concentrating on killing a bully that could ruin all of his plans due to his S-Ranked brother was not something he would do at this point, he had reached too far now, and had a lot to lose if he were to commit a single mistake.

This is why he needed to be cautious and scheming, and to rearrange his thought process and what he wanted in life, alongside what he wanted from Fernand.

And what else than brainwashing him, cursing his bloodline, and making him his puppet?

He could even make his big brother bring him resources!

It was a way better idea than killing him, and a better one, in fact.

Indeed, Noah had considered cursing Fernand's bloodline.

In fact, he had considered doing this with a few other people.

By cursing a bloodline, he would be able to slowly diminish the strength of all those related to that bloodline!

Although it was not a big effect nor it had any immediate effect either, it still held great potential.

His enemies would not even understand what is making them slowly weaken as they become ripen enough for Noah to harvest their lives!

Now Noah wished he could have gotten such Skill earlier so he could have cursed Crystal's bloodline, but what was done was done.

The Vampire party crossed above the rooftops as they slowly reached the Hunter Registration Center of Sector D, where they will finally upgrade their Hunter License Cards to B-Rank!

All of them were former F-Rank, and when they were to step and change their Ranks, they will most likely shake the Sector with such outstanding news!

"It's time…" said Noah, leading his party inside the building.
