Chapter 2: The Butler makes an impression

Chapter 2: The Butler makes an impression
I was currently helping Alice level up. I thought I should be hiding my game windows, but she actually pulled up her own. Knowing this world's residents are familiar with it I was able to look through my menu without needing to hide it.

Alice: I never thought you would be this powerful at only level 16. So this must make you a Reliver?
Kyouya: Reliver?
Alice: People like you who come from a different life to this world already strong.
Kyouya: How many are there?
Alice: It isn't really registered. Not often do they come.
Kyouya: (Is that right? So I'm not the first.)
Alice: Kurogami-san?
Kyouya: Hm?
Alice: How long do we have to fight these monsters?
Kyouya: Ah we've been at it for a while haven't we?

I had Alice take us to the deeper part of the forest. Since I'm her vassal I want my master to be stronger. I can't exactly have her depend on me constantly. The forests went from green to purple where we're at. The monsters were stronger, but still weak which still didn't satisfy me. I was at least able to increase Alice's level a bit.

[Vampire Princess] [Lvl 12]
Atk: 7
Def: 6
Int: 43
Dex: 4
Spd: 6
Lck: 30

Her Int was the only thing rising steadily. Something must be wrong with her body.

Kyouya: Let's take a short break.

We sat under a tree and Alice set up a [Safe Zone] where we wouldn't be disturbed by monsters. It was then I decided to fiddle around with my menu. I had aquired titles from the contract I made with Alice.

[Vassal of a Princess]
[Raises 5% Atk when near a Princess]

[Vassal of a Vampire]
[ Gives 3% Lifesteal effect when near a Vampire]

[Butler]
[Raises all stats and elemental affinity by 1%]

Kyouya: (It seems that Butler is the best option. Let's take a look at my skills and masteries now.)

Since I leveled up a bit I had some points to spend. Multiple points are used to unlock abilities, while a single point upgrades an ability I already have.

My Current Skills:
[Scan] [Night Vision] [Infinite Stamina] [Stealth]

As you can see, I don't have a lot. There are a few skills I can afford so I thought nothing of it and picked some.

[Shadow Step] Skill
[Use the darkness and dash towards and direction]

[Heal] Skill
[Small healing effect on any ally]

[Danger Sense] Passive
[Can detect nearby bloodlust]

Now the current issue is Alice.
Kyouya: Alright, I think we're done here.
Alice: Yes?
Kyouya: You can take us to the mansion now.
Alice: Okay.

She still looked a little hesitant.

Kyouya: Tell me about your family. We have nothing else to do while walking.
Alice: The Bloodveil family is a famous Vampire Bloodline. My father Julius von Bloodveil is able to slay an army of 10,000 demons all on his own. He was given one of the titles of Great Kings.
Kyouya: One of them?
Alice: There are 10 Great Kings, my father being the 4th strongest.
Kyouya: (I wonder how far my strength would go.)
Alice: My mother was a kind person, but unfortunately she passed away.
Kyouya: I'm sorry for your loss.
She shakes her head.
Alice: It was a long time ago, and she was at peace.
Kyouya: I see.
Alice: As for my siblings... They all look down on me.
Kyouya: They won't anymore now. I'll make sure of that.

We were approaching a large mansion. It seemed quiet.
[Danger Sense] has been triggered.

I could feel us being watched. We entered the doors. There were some staff walking around. We entered the room of Alice's brother. I saw a young man sitting behind a desk. He had blonde hair and crimson eyes just like Alice. He turned towards us. This is Alice's brother, Leon von Bloodveil.

Alice: I've returned Niisan.
Leon: Who's this?
Kyouya: (No hello to his sister?)
Alice: This is Kurogami-san. He's my vassal.
Leon: Vassal? You tell a good joke. A servant shouldn't have honorifics.
Alice: I respect him.
Leon: Well I guess trash would look up to anything.
Alice bit her lip. So this is Leon. What a distasteful person.
Leon: Say Kuro-whatever. Why don't you serve under me?
Kyouya: You should say my name right first.

He glared at me. His gaze was piercing. Alice grew afraid, but for some reason I didn't feel anything.

Leon: Lowly vassals under trash shouldn't give orders.
Kyouya:(Scan)

[Leon von Bloodveil] [Lvl 25]
[Vampire Prince]
Atk: 67
Def: 27
Int: 24
Dex: 36
Spd: 40
Lck: 1

I couldn't help but smirk.

Kyouya: And if some idiot were to lose to a lowly vassal under trash?

He appeared behind me and attempted to stab me with his hand. Unfortunately for him I have over 1000 speed. I turned around and grabbed his wrist.

Leon: Wha!?

I twisted his arm around. I hear a loud snapping sound. I guess I must have dislocated it. Leon's scream attracts company. Many servants rush into the room. They see their master on the floor holding his arm and ready their various weapons.

???: Enough.

The voice isn't loud, but it echos into my soul. An old man walks in. His crimson eyes contrast the white of his hair.

Alice: Grandpa Luga!
Kyouya: (Scan)

[Luga von Bloodveil] [Lvl 200]
[Vampire Lord]
Atk: 4046
Def: 3010
Int: 5105
Dex: 2178
Spd: 956
Lck: 1

Not good. This guy is stronger than me.
