--Orc clubroom--
It's only been a few minutes since Jack saved Issei and killed Raynare, Rias suddenly appeared through her summoning paper that Issei accidentally activated before passing out. She was surprised seeing Jack here and no fallen angel like she suspected. Jack turned towards her and suggested they head to the clubroom and Rias too stunned to argue just nodded.
And that's how we got to this point now. Jack standing in his new attire across from Rias who's sitting behind her desk giving the new Jack an appraising look. Koneko on the right couch still eating her snacks, Yuuto leaning against the wall on the left of the room with a sword in hand, and Akeno standing besides Rias with a too sweet smile.
"Let me get this straight." Rias started "You're a vampire? Or at least a half breed?" Jack nodded enthusiastically. "And the fire woman behind you is your familiar?" Jack nodded once more. "Okay I got the gist of this. My main question is why did you hide this all from us?" Rias thought she was trustworthy enough for such a secret.
Jack didn't miss a beat "I just found out!" At this Rias had a massive sweatdrop. "You... just found out?" Jack nodded and Rias was rethinking her life choices. Ember was currently hugging Jack from behind while the whole thing was going on, her flames doing no harm to Jack or his clothes.
Akeno giggled slightly, the mood lifting slightly at the this whole scene. "Ara~ So we've had a little blood sucker with us this whole time?" Jack nodded and grinned. "Yep. Be careful or I might bite~" Akeno was slightly taken aback and blushed a little before regaining her composure. "Ara~ So bold of you" Rias was looking on in slight exasperation and amusement.
"Alright enough of that. I had another question, Jack" she got a nod in return. "Why has your mental state declined this past week so badly? You've constantly been grinning and making comments you usually wouldn't." Rias was worried for Jack as she was thinking the gear was already frying his brain, in fact he still had it uncovered, if only one eye, her point still stood.
Jack made a thinking expression and discretely checked his system, a small notification in his status. Stating he was hungry, but he didn't feel it, so he had only one other hunger that would probably affect him like this.
"I'm blood deprived" He grinned still while saying this. Rias was confused for a moment before it dawned that he probably hadn't had a single drop of blood for a long while. "I see, do you need us to get you a blood bag? It would be no problem to acquire such a thing." Acquiring something as simple as a blood bag would be a piece of cake for her.
But Jack shook his head and motioned her over, Rias being curious obliged. Ember stood back and gave her master room for the next thing he did, which was to grab Rias by the shoulders and sink his fangs into her collarbone. Rias gasped and froze for a moment, the members of her peerage standing and getting ready to defend her from their new friend. But Rias quickly stopped them as she didn't feel Jack taking all that much. But what no one but Jack and Ember could see was the screen in front of Jack.
__________

Extreme luck: 500 Skp.
Power of destruction (P.O.D): 200 Skp.
Devil magic: 60 Skp.

__________
Along with that screen was another one, however this one was a lot different and excited Jack a lot.
__________
Extract Stats?
Strength: +30.
Endurance: +30.
Agility: +30.
Intelligence: +40.
Wisdom: +30.
Luck: +70.
(Note: All numbers will be rounded down or up depending on 1/10 of the targets stats. If the target had 200 strength then the host can gain 20. If the target however has 270 strength the number will round up to 30 points instead.)
Or gain: 100 Skp and 40 Stp.
(Warning: This is a one time thing. If stats are extracted the target will lose those points and the user will gain them, however if you choose the second option nothing will happen to the target and the host will gain said points for free.)
__________
Jack really didn't feel like actually harming Rias despite how good the stat increase would be, so he chose the second option when it came to the stats screen. As for the copy screen? He'd save up another 20 Skp so he could purchase destruction magic as that type of power would be very useful. Jack was a patient man and could wait for the right time.
After about two minutes Jack detached from Rias' neck and stepped back feeling much better. Rias while surprised was also blushing at the close contact from a moment ago, but she quickly composed herself and coughed into her fist. "Feeling better Jack?" She asked with a little pink still on her cheeks.
Jack flushed a little and scratched the back of his head "Yeah, I feel better. Sorry about that Rias, don't know why I did that." Despite Rias seemingly not caring about the incident he still felt bad for biting her all of a sudden. He placed a hand over the mark and used [Basic heal] to remove the mark which didn't take more then a few seconds, leaving her neck smooth like before.
Rias smiled appreciatively and walked back to sit behind her desk again now that the whole blood ordeal was solved. She however had this odd premonition that being bitten was going to be a common occurrence real soon. Despite this everything had calmed down, Akeno though looked a little jealous at not being bitten herself. which everyone could tell and very quickly dismissed her.
"So Rias" Jack started, grabbing Rias attention from some paperwork she just started. "Still planning on adding Issei to your little family?" Jack wanted to know if his friend was about to join their little family of misfits, and Rias answer didn't surprise him. "Yes, I plan to reincarnate him. I regret to say this but If not for you Jack I doubt I'd be able to give Issei a choice in the matter, I reacted too slow and it nearly cost his life." Rias smiled at Jack causing him to blush a little from the praise.
"But now that he is still alive and I can give him the choice, I still wish to offer him a chance to join us." Jack nodded and was thinking about joining himself, but ultimately decided not too. The only real reason he could think of too join them was devil magic, flying, the chance to rise through the ranks, and a power boost. But the cons weren't to his liking. A weakness to holy and light magic/weapons/items, and despite how you treat your servants or peerage, they're at the end of the day still servants or at worst slaves.
He knew she doesn't treat her peerage like that, but the thought wasn't a good one. Honestly he could probably do everything on his own, as he had a weekly roulette, shop that had just about anything he needed, a system, and most of all he was a vampire royal apparently. He had learned from the system that the type of royal vampire he his is one that doesn't have weakness to the usual vampire weaknesses. So he had all the benefit but none of the problems.
"Well it's about time I go." Jack stood up and walked towards a window, Rias watching him as he went "Where too?" His reply came quickly "Too the old abandoned church. I have three more fallen to speak with." Despite the fact he was already satiated with blood, that same grin once more made it's appearance, showing off his razor sharp teeth.
He jumped out the window and tried doing what vampires were known for, transforming, but it didn't go quite well as a loud thud could be heard along with a quiet "Fuck." Which made Rias and Akeno laugh, Kiba chuckle, and Koneko to crack a small smile.
--Old abandoned church--
Three people stood in the abandoned church, one man, one woman, and a small girl. Obviously this was Dohnaseek, Kalawarna, and Mittlet. The three were talking and worried as too why Raynare wasn't back yet, well two were worried, one couldn't care either way. "I'm just saying something must've gone wrong seeing as Raynare isn't back yet" Kalawarna was worried, not for Raynare's safety exactly as the two were mainly just allies for the moment, but she was worried for whatever could defeat, or at worst, kill Raynare.
Mittlet was the other worried party, for the same reason Kalawarna was. Dohnaseek however couldn't care less and thought himself stronger then Raynare despite taking orders from her. Their conversation was cut short as a chuckle could be heard all around them, the shadows on the floor seeming to crawl further along the floor towards them, and the light from the full moon to dim visibly.
The three were instantly on guard and ready to attack at any time, but no one appeared, the only indicator was a chuckle that turned to a dark laugh. Mittlet and Kalawarna had shivers going down their spines, Dohnaseek however either didn't sense the slowly rising dread, or was simply to stupid to be afraid. In short he was as the chinese would say, Courting death!
A dark hand came from Dohnaseek's shadow and removed his leg in one smooth strike, causing the man to scream in pain and fall to a knee. "I suggest kneeling, your heads are a little too high~" Both Kalawarna and Mittlet felt dread grip their hearts and immediately kneeled down planting their faces to the ground, blue fire soaring above their heads. Yet despite this fire the shadows were neither illuminated or eliminated, they seemed to consume the light from said fire.
Suddenly the sound of boots on tile could be heard, Kalawarna and Mittlet raised their heads, and Dohnaseek as well looked ahead. They saw a man in a far more stylish trench coat then Dohnaseek, also wearing black leather pants, a pair of gloves, and combat boots to boot. His grin and eye stole the show though, a hint of insanity behind that one bronze orb.
"W-Who are you!" Dohnaseek stuttered as he shouted at the newcomer. "Call me Cogwheel~" Behind 'Cogwheel' was a voluptuous woman that seemed to be completely made of blue and white fire. We all know these two as Jack and Ember. "Cogwheel? That's bullshit. I don't believe your name is cogwheel!" Dohnaseek was seething in anger, his leg was gone with the stump still bleeding on the floor, and here was this... BOY that said his name was cogwheel?!
Jack chuckled and looked down on Dohnaseek "Poor fool. Having to yell to assert dominance when all it proves is how stupid you are. One does not win a fight simply by yelling in anger, only by the cold cut of steel would such a tactic work." Jack was having fun messing with Dohnaseek, the man was too easy to rile up.
"Why you!" Dohnaseek was about to form a light spear when a dark hand grabbed his head and smashed it into the ground forming spiderweb cracks and knocking him out completely. Jack was still grinning and said in a sing song tone "One down, two too go~" Both Mittlet and Kalawarna were shaking in fear as Jack step after step approached them, they had no thoughts of attacking him as they could tell such an action would lead to a very quick death.
"Names please my ladies~" Jack crouched down and lifted their chins, making them stare him in the eye. Both of them responded at the same time with equal fear "Kalawarna/Mittlet" Jack's grin grew a notch more as he caressed their cheeks "Kalawarna and Mittlet then. I have a proposition~" Both didn't like that tone and knew where it usually lead, but if it meant survival they'd endu- "Become my maids." Both Mittlet and Kalawarna's minds went blank for a moment, and Jack enjoyed the sudden confusion on their faces.
After a moment it hit them what he said and both blushed a little, but with either death or servitude being the options, they chose servitude. Jack seeing their minds made went ahead and bit their collarbones causing one after the other to gasp in slight pain. Jack took the skill points and stat points as their stats were not high enough for him to make any big progress. He accumulated another 40 skill points and 10 stat points from Kalawarna, and another 30 skill points and 5 stat points from Mittlet.
He healed their marks and had Ember take them back to his house and watch over them. Now it was him and the knocked out Dohnaseek. Now he was going to try something and if it didn't work he'd kill Dohnaseek. So not wanting to wait he lit a literal fire under Dohnaseeks ass and woke him up screaming about his ass was on fire, which caused Jack to bust out laughing.
Very soon however Jack had grabbed Dohnaseek by the face and lifted him to eye level, putting his pointer in front of his face and trying something he saw vampires on shows do before, he hypnotized Dohnaseek. It seemed to not have worked at first but upon closer inspection Dohnaseeks eyes had glazed over and become empty.
Jack grinned and said "From now on you work for me. You will return to grigori and act like nothing happened, simply stating you had accomplished your mission. I want you to collect information from within grigori as discretely as possible and bring it to me when possible. Clear?" Jack let go of him and snapped his fingers, Dohnaseek snapped to attention and bowed on one knee to Jack.
Seeing Dohnaseek's leg Jack pumped a huge amount into Basic heal causing it to advance to [Heal(C+)] and grow Dohnaseek's leg back very slowly. Once his leg was healed Dohnaseek immediately left to carry out the mission his master had given him. Jack meanwhile was grinning like a fool as all in one night, he'd killed Raynare, gotten two maids, and one undercover fallen. A good nights work if you asked him.
--Jack's house--
When Jack returned home he was greeted by both Kalawarna and Mittlet in their birthday suits, aka naked, nude, full body commando. He was looking at them oddly before looking at Ember questioningly and seeing burnt pieces of cloth on the floor besides a larger pile of ash. He gave Ember a blank look and chopped her on the head causing her to whine pitifully. He sighed and said "We'll get you two new clothes tomorrow since someone thought it a good idea to burn your only clothes." Both fallen women glared at Ember who stuck her tongue out at them.
While Kalawarna wasn't that ashamed to show off her body as many a time would her clothes rip on a mission and she'd have to deal with it. The same could not be said for Mittlet as even though the same happened to her, she did not have the same nonchalance Kalawarna had. Kalawarna already in the mindset of 'to stay alive I must please this boy.' Strutted over to Jack and pressed against his side, trapping his arm in between the valley that was her cleavage.
Jack was a little surprised at how fast she started acting like this, but he was not one to complain. Even he had noticed after his 'Awakening' that his attitude had changed a little. He was far less reserved, and far more open to intimate contact around woman.
As this was happening, Mittlet was incredulous at how fast Kalawarna had started sucking up to Jack, she thought Kalawarna had more pride then that. But Mittlet herself couldn't fully blame Kalawarna for doing such a thing seeing as it's inevitable that something of the sort would happen sooner or later.
Off to the side Ember however was livid at this hussy for clinging to her master and she immediately clung to Jacks other arm, pushing it between her own cleavage. Jack was now blushing a lot more as this was the first he had experienced such a thing, heck he'd never even had an actual kiss, in this world or his past one.
But he quickly composed himself and removed both from him. He quickly explained what they'd be doing which was just cleaning, cooking, laundry, the usual. He also said they'd have to share a room for now as he only had two bedrooms and one was his, Mittlet complained and Kalawarna offered to sleep with him so Mittlet could have the guest room. Ember immediately bristled but Jack stopped her from jumping Kalawarna and also shut her down, he had no desire to start sharing his bed just yet, and definitely didn't want Kalawarna trying anything on his body during his sleep or upon waking up.
So the day ended with the fallen angels defeated, Jack's awakening, the ORC now knowing more about Jack. And Jack having the time of his life all day long.
