Days have been passing, and I have been Gradually making my style of Martial Arts. I have not only been training with Clyde but with the rest of the Cave clan as well to develop it.

All my skills from before I became a Martial Artist have hit the max level of ten. So I have virtually mastered the beginner phase of Fighters.

My new set of skills are Silent Gouge, Pressure Point Paralyze, Elemental Aura, Dragon Fighter. The rest of which are just better-honed Strikes whether they are kicking or punching.

The next level of fighters also can start adding the elements to enhance their Qi which seems like it might like magic but it's from the Body's and Soul's energy.

So my element I can add to my skills is the fire element which was befitting of my Race.

Sarah's Element is Lightning while Clyde's Element is earth. This ability is the real reason why Martial arts can compete with magic in the first place.

Except the fact Magic Spells are a lot more potent with their elements still.

The new skills added to the advanced class also have a higher max level of Fifty.

Which is also the level you can rank up in this world, and you can learn a lot more of them because you have a specialization now.

I have also been given a new whole new set of attire since my old clothes were shattered and torn to pieces and its smelled horrible the remaining parts from overuse as well which was were very embarrassing.

Now I have a lot more battle outfits aside from the embarrassing costumes from Lucy which had no combat use what so ever.

I have also finally attained a weapon also for my fighting especially since striking doesn't always ensure a victory, especially against the high-level people and monsters.

It was a Spear with a retractable blade that could also be useful as a staff. Most of my existing skills could also be applied to it as well.

Sarah has one as well she faces stronger opponents which is a giant War Ax which fits her class, but it looks bigger than her entire body.

Clyde had a set of daggers he could use when needed.

Having was yet another way we could compete with magic here. Since Magic was powerful enough, that it was that overpowered.

So Fighters could only compete with a mixture of elemental aura and weapons.

I have also just mastered the beginner stage of my weapon. The ability, not a skill was called Weapon Mastery and was divided into the categories of Novice, Advanced, Expert, and Master Class.

This ability had nothing to with Level, Classes, or even Rank-Ups. It was pure effort nothing more nothing less. So the more training and experience you put into it.

Time was flying by I have been here for five months. The problem though was that my Vampire form had made little to no progress as I had no Specialities to choose from.

Stolen novel; please report.

My skills were almost all max level, they were all level 8 or 9's, but they haven't shown any progress for the last two months.

It was evident that the only way that this would happen is a new class.

For some reason, not even Lyte's specialty had shown up as an option for me to choose even if though I knew some of his spells and should've met the requirements

This issue was probably due to the fact of my Vampire nature I concluded. I only suck blood when I know I'm about to turn blood crazed.

I'm somewhat half-assed at being a vampire.

Today Lyte had finally returned from his mission, and he had secured some allies it seems.

This Lyte, however, was completely different from the usual Lyte he seemed unusually severe.

Due to not seeing him for a while, I thought he would mock Sarah or me or have that usual full evil smile thing going on.

I was in my Vampire form today, so I was able to reason something terrible was about to happen to me.

What could it be?

"Ryu I have a way for you to achieve a new Class." He said rather blatantly.

Wasn't that a good thing why does he have that tone and expression on his face then.

"What is that I asked? I asked

I was being pressured from the immense amount of tension and Aura around me.

"This is a book of the actual history of the Vampire progenitor's as well as instruction guide to achieving the Class the Progenitor Joseph had. You will have to drink this Vial of Blood which will first step. It will Transport you to a particular area maybe even a dimension I'm not quite sure exactly it's vague, but you will be forced into The Trials of Blood."

Trials of Blood? I then read the book he gave me and learned the Truth of the vampire's, and at the end, it described The Trials of Blood.

The First Trial Was Overcoming your inner Demons.

The Second Trial was facing all the countless Deaths caused by vampires.

The Third Trial was overcoming the bloodlust and delusions caused by not having any access to blood for two months.

The fourth Trial was looking at the worst possible future and overcoming it.

The Fifth was like the second, but instead, I had to face all the tragedies caused by all the wars.

The Sixth was overcoming facing and overcoming the hostility and mind-altering abilities of the Four Evil Progenitors.

The Seventh and Final one was proving and convincing your ideas and Ideals to Joseph.

Failure of any of these trials leads to death any status changes will also be nullified during the Trial.

I realized the negatives to these trials were immense, but the reward for completing the Trials was a new class it also changed the possibilities of race choices for when I hopefully Rank-Up.

I knew I had to take this risk and pass these trials.

Clyde, Sarah, and Lyte would head in all different direction while I took these trials.

Clyde was looking for a particular area to train in; he was looking to achieve something that wasn't possible around here but kept the details rest a secret from us.

Sarah was looking in for the most vigorous and challenging opponents to fight and hone her abilities. Sounds like the typical Sarah I know.

Lyte was traveling to gather more allies based of places Sarah and Clyde told him about they also gave him some trinkets so people knew he could prove he wasn't apart of the demons that wanted to annihilate everything.

Now that they were gone. It was time for me to drink the blood from the vial. I gulped It down what came after was an immense amount of pain it fell like all my limbs were being broken off, Multiple blades piercing my body and all my skin being torn off my body it felt like It went on for months.

It then stopped, and I became aware of my surroundings I was what completely appeared to be a black void facing someone who looked exactly like me with a blank look on his face like he didn't care about anything and a Girl that looked my female form who looked ready to go ballistic at any moment.
