Reincarnated With The Van Helsing System

Daimon was surrounded by darkness, in his mind all the things that happened today were repeating in front of him as if he was watching a movie but there were some differences on it, this time whenever the manticore moved he could clearly see the trajectory of its movement as if he was foreseeing it, once the fight against the manticore ended he saw the darkness fading away not before listening to the system's notification.

*Ding*

"Physical reforming completed; the host has successfully attained the "Apex Predator Physique", please consult the details on the "Innate talents" tab of the status window".

Once he opened his eyes the first thing, he saw was Aisha's back view and he couldn't help but throw himself at her.

"Mother… I'm glad you are alive", he hugged his mother tightly as if he was afraid that she would disappear if he let go, Aisha felt her son's emotions and her eyes got teary, she turned around and hugged him back before saying in a broken tone.

*sniff*

"My darling… I thought I would never see you again", they embraced each other to the content of their hearts, Daimon felt a huge sensation of relief, before he was worried that the "Aisha" in front of him was some kind of fake but there is no way someone could fake the warm comfortable feeling his mother gave him.

Daimon suddenly realized something and he asked in a hurry.

"How do you feel mom, are you still wounded, how about your magic core!!!"

Aisha heard her son's worried tone and she smiled and ruffled his hair.

"I'm fine sweetie ♥, even the cracks in my core were healed but as you might have noticed I look quite different, can you tell me what happened… did I do anything weird to you?".

Daimon almost choked, although he looked like a kid since he was a reincarnated teen of course he understood what Aisha thought when she woke up naked on top of her son, while he was contemplating how to explain his mother what happened he heard Evangeline mocking him.

"Hahaha, how are you going to get out this I wonder, if you don't come up with a good story then mommy will be mad at you", "this stupid system" thought Daimon, but then he internally grinned and asked her.

"Will it be bad if I tell her about the system?", Evangeline kept silence for a moment before answering in a serious voice "there is no penalty, after all the system only exists thanks to the host and no one can take it away now that it's linked to you, actually I encourage you to tell her about it", then her voice returned to her usual teasing tone.

"Hehehe, but first I suggest you to check the "Soulmate" tab of the system", Daimon suddenly had a bad premonition, he opened the status and went to the tab Evangeline told him and indeed there was a yellow sign with a number "1" on it.

"Mom, can you give me a second please I… need to go to the bathroom and when I return, I will tell you what happened", without waiting for Aisha's answer he ran away and hid behind a tree that was about 100 meters from where Aisha was standing, he then opened the clicked on the tab and read the description.

*Ding*

"Congratulations to the host for unlocking the Soulmate function, Abraham Van Helsing wasn't just talented at monster hunting but he was also quite skilled with women, rejoice as you have inherited that same talent, don't forget to constantly check on the status of your soulmates".

Being honest that wasn't a bad feature he thought but then he deployed the list and there was only one slot with information which said.

|Current soulmates: 1|

-----------------------------

|Aisha Silverheart|

|Race: High Vampire???|

|Age: 14 years old (reborn)|

|Emotional status: Happy/Confused/Worried|

|Description: You truly are a mama's boy, huh|

Daimon couldn't stand it he closed the screen and kept silent for a moment.

…"Are you kidding me!!!, Evangeline what the hell is this, I don't remember accepting to do such a thing to my mother".

"HAHAHA, technically you accepted it when you used the Divine Nirvana Rune, the system's mission is to protect the host and just in case you didn't know returning someone to life without any side effects like what you did, is not something that could be accomplished by anyone below a certain level… and so some kind of security was needed and those who are your soulmates can never betray the host, also as a special service I took the liberty to adjust her age to match yours better hehehe".

Daimon didn't know whether he should laugh or cry, "I… do think she is beautiful but come on I have never had that kind of thoughts towards Aisha".

For once Evangeline didn't mess with him, "whatever there is no point in crying over spilled milk, it was a requirement for you to help her or would you rather not have revived her?".

"Never", he answered, Evangeline internally nodded "nice answer, now that I think about it this will also be her first impression of the system so let's put on a good show", she proceeded to give Daimon some instructions and once she finished, he returned back with Aisha.

He took a deep breath and then started explaining her all what happened after the explosion with only a change on the story, he made the system sound like a magic grimoire which only he could use because that would be easier for his mother to believe, when he finished the story Aisha had a complex expression on her face.

"Who would have thought that this disaster was actually a blessing in disguise, that grimoire must have belonged to someone that broke through the boundaries of this dimension to ascend to a higher realm… after all in the long story of the crimson mist planet which is the strongest of the immortal galaxy no one has ever being able to bring someone back to life, without losing its original personality and turning into a disgusting undead".

Daimon internally let out a sigh of relief, she bought the story of the grimoire but to be honest it was not hard to believe because some people will actually leave their inheritances behind for the future generations, so the excuse of him finding an inheritance was somehow convincing since Aisha was alive.

"Darling, can you show me the grimoire, I need to make sure that is not harmful to you".

He and Evangeline already discussed what to do beforehand, the system was able to adapt to the needs of the host but that required time and resources like mana stones, blood and other materials from magic beasts, luckily changing the design of just one tab was within the possibilities of Daimon's current achievements.

And so, they changed the design of the tab he will show to Aisha "The skill tree", the system didn't include the words "Van Helsing" for nothing, the skills or in this case "magic" he will obtain thanks were called "Anti-monster Arts", there were an infinite number of them and they had different requirements to be unlocked or created, in this case for the sake of putting on a convincing front he needed the corpse of the manticore.

"Of course, mom, but I need to use the corpse of the manticore to open it because its main focus is to imitate the innate talents of magical beasts, since I haven't started training yet my mana is too low so I need the corpse as a replacement for it".

Aisha nodded, this was not even close to the most eccentric conditions she has seen a grimoire or even some spells demand their users to meet, as a great magic theorist once said "the world is filled with things that should be impossible and yet they exist".

Daimon approached the corpse and when he was about 3 meters away, he heard it.

*Ding*

[Dark Manticore (variant) obtained, absorb Y/N?]

Daimon nodded and a rune circle appeared on the ground below the corpse, after a moment the corpse disappeared and a new screen appeared in front of him.

[New skills unlocked]

[Enhance Series: Sixth Sense (Passive), Overlord's Pride (Passive), Mythic Vitality (Passive)]

[Elemental Series: Darkness affinity (Passive), Poison affinity (Passive)]

[Beast Series: Hell Scorpion´s Poison, Manticore Claws]

Daimon was in awe, "Woah there are so many skills and they all look really cool!!!" he thought, but Evangeline broke his bubble in an instant.

"You are quite lucky, the number and rank of the skills obtained depend on the monster and its rarity/strength, not only that but your contribution also affects it, if you don't to at least 50% of the damage then you won't get any skills, ripping its stomach apart and then stab it to death was barely enough for you to extract most of its skills".
