Present time...

Ethan and his friends sat in the living room. They'd just finished eating and were now listening to Ethan.

"What I'm about to tell you guys is very sensitive and I would love and appreciate if you could keep it a secret. I don't want to sound rude but if you can't keep it a secret, then I would have no reason to call you a friend anymore. Trevor is already aware because he's part of it but the rest of you are different. I'm taking a lot of chances to tell you this because if it should get out, it could cost me my life if not, my freedom. If you aren't willing to keep this a secret, then please excuse yourself. Besides, if you think you could deceive me by sitting here to listen and later divulge it to someone else, then I'm afraid you are really mistaken because I will know, and you might probably die. It is that sensitive and dangerous." Ethan talked in a very serious tone which no one had heard him speak in before, even Trevor, depicting how serious the matter was. He looked each of them in the eye and when he was sure they were ready, he released a deep breath.

"What I'm about to tell you is something very mysterious, even for me. My affinity, evolution and current level is related to my ancestral lineage and bloodline. I know it sounds funny to you but that is the truth. I will start with my awakening.

On the day of my awakening, it wasn't a coincidence that I was attacked by the serpent or appeared in front of its cage. I lost control of myself there, but I heard a voice beckoning me towards the serpent's cage and the rest happened. That episode shouldn't have kept me in the hospital for two weeks, but it was so because of what was happening to my body at the time. I was awakening my bloodline and lineage." Yes. Ethan was spouting nonsense, mixing lies with the truth.

"Afterwards, I've had encounters upon encounters and one of the inheritances I got from my ancestral lineage is something I can't tell you about now. But that inheritance is the reason for my fast growth and current strength. I've been getting quests and missions which I have to complete and fulfil to access the full potential of my ancestry. Through all these tests, I managed to awaken my path. I awakened my path before my fight with Leon, but it was sealed inside me because of the kind of path I awakened. I can't tell you that, but I can tell what I've figured out it can do.

It is through that, which is; I can make subordinates through my path, that I made Trevor my first subordinate. Trevor, please show them the symbol." Trevor showed his right hand, at the back of his hand, where the dark gold symbol was to the others. Without waiting for them to react, he continued.

"This symbol which identifies my subordinates, allows me to share some of my abilities and skills with them and it is permanent. Currently, the only ability I can share is the Sync ability. I hope everyone knows what it is?"

"No."

"No idea."

"I know something about it..."

"Okay. The Sync ability is a perfect bond between you and your spirit beast. It isn't easy to achieve as even Master level and above mages haven't achieved it yet. How I achieved it is a secret, but I've shared it with Trevor and now he also has Sync with his beast. The Sync ability allows you to use skills and abilities of your beast and vice versa but it also has levels which I have no idea about. I just achieved it. This also leads to the current mystery which is our evolutions.

I don't know if it's because of the master-subordinate relationship between Trevor and I or something else but we both evolved into vampires. If you think that I turned Trevor, then you are wrong. We both evolved into vampires which is also a mystery I'm trying to solve but all I know now is that we are related in some way. So that sums up what has transpired between us."

Ethan finished to shocked expressions from the rest apart from Trevor.

"Damn."

"You got to be fucking kidding with me."

"This is too much to take in."

"Is it possible for me to become a vampire if I become your subordinate?" Emily asked with a serious expression.

"Clara?"

"Mm."

"Okay. If that's what you want."

"Me too. At least with this, I can share something in common with Trevor."

"That's why I love you, Emily."

"Gross!" Ethan exclaimed with disgust on his face.

"You are one to speak, when you kiss Clara anywhere you meet her." Trevor retorted.

"One more question." Lamair finally spoke.

"Okay..."

"Are you a virgin?"

"What?!"

"The fuck man!"

"What the hell is wrong with you?!"

"You made it sound so serious..."

"I'm no longer a virgin." Ethan answered with an embarrassed face while scratching the back of his head.

"You fucking had a threesome on your first day?!"

"What does that have to do with this?"

"I will be your fucking subordinate!"

"Come on man... wait what?"

"Yeah. I'm in."

"That means all of you."

"Pretty much."

"Okay."

"So, do we have to do some ritual or something?"

"Ah... nothing. Just stretch out your right hands towards me." Ethan told them. They did as they were told. A small golden dot appeared on Ethan's forehead while his eyes turned golden. Simultaneously, the symbol on Trevor's hand started glowing. A golden light encapsulated the other as Ethan said the words the system showed him.

"As of today, you are in my care. You are my subordinates till the world ends. I am yours and you are mine. And know this; From the North to the South, East to West, only I reign supreme!"

"I accept master's decision in good faith and accept my co-subordinates." Trevor also read what the system showed.

The light covering them intensified and when it stopped glowing, they had symbols like that of Trevor's on their hands. They looked towards Ethan with confused expressions, but he just smiled towards with a tired expression.

"Trevor will explain everything to you. I worked myself there and I have to rest." Ethan told them before he fell unconscious in the sofa.
