Vampire Cultivation System in a Hidden World of Monsters

I was a dumbass. I remembered I had a clothing shop in my system. I asked her about what style she was going for and pulled up what she described in my system store. The department store didn't offer much of anything in her style. We still needed to be in the department store though, so she could try things on and change.

Mel liked to dress in a range of rockabilly pin-up styles. For just walking around, she liked to dress in a more toned down grunge rockabilly pin-up look. When she was going out or performing, she liked a modern rockabilly look.

She used to accent her look with tattoos and piercings but the thing about regenerating your body, is that those things don't regenerate with it. She had perfect unsullied skin now.

I pulled different clothes out of the system store and had her try them on. Once we'd picked out a few outfits, she brushed the dirt off her body and put one on. Then we headed to dinner.

Since we were in the city, I asked if she wanted to go to Bella Luna Cucina. She agreed and we had dinner there. She said hi to Marco and chatted with him for a little bit.

Marco was surprised to see her, but not because he thought she was dead. Johnny had told him she had skipped town. She told Marco she had some family business she had to attend to. That's why she'd been gone.

We had a nice dinner and we talked about everything that had happened to me since she had been gone. I filled her in on the system and the omni-vampire thing and everything else. We also talked about her childhood, family, and how she came to work for Johnny.

I learned a lot more about her than I did when she actually worked at Johnny's house. She never wanted to talk about work or the past when she worked there. I understood why. It was too painful to think about it when she was in it.

Now, it felt like another life. She was free and clear. Johnny wasn't a threat anymore, and she didn't owe anyone money. The dinner was great. Marco and his staff always did a good job.

We ended the night with a visit to a bar that was doing karaoke. Mel wasn't just a guitarist. She was also a singer. When it was her turn to sing, she chose "Fever" by Meggy Dee. It was a classic.

Something that was perfect for showing off vocal skill and tonality. When she sang it, it felt like she was singing directly to me and for me. When the song was over, we hit the road.

I turned on Phantom mode and we rode at incredible speeds. We made it back to Mystic Creek in an hour. When we got to the hotel, I walked her up to the suite where my original five were sleeping.

The others were set up in other rooms. I had turned one of the pull out couches into the bed so I could sleep in the same room as my girls. I put Mel on the pull out.

"Are you going to sleep with me?" Mel said.

"I was hoping to, but not presuming to," I said.

"I've told you I loved you multiple times, what more permission do you need?" Mel said.

"Yeah. That's fair," I said. I got in bed behind her and cuddled up to her. We fell asleep laying like that.

Someone nudged me awake. I looked up. It was Victoria. "Who's this?" She said, pointing at Mel.

"Oh, this is Mel. She was my best friend when I was a teenager, until she was killed. I brought her back to life last night. That was why I did that dungeon with Thistle and Penny. To get a revival medicine," I said, rubbing my eyes and stretching.

"Oh. Who killed her?" Victoria said, continuing to poke me for fun. She mostly just poked my dick though.

"Hey, stop that!" I said, swatting her hand away. "You're gonna get me hard and horny. Johnny did."

"Getting you hard and horny is the point," she said. "Johnny? That bastard! I'll kill him!"

"I kind of already did," I said. "I turned him into a vampire that experiences all the pain and trauma that his victims have experienced in their whole life."

"Oh. Well, then get up, silly! It's time for breakfast!" Victoria said, slapping my dick. My dick was so big it didn't hurt, it just felt good. I was getting progressively harder the more she played with my dick.

"I'm serious! Cut it out! We don't have time for sex right now," I said.

"Aww. You big dumb mean man. Fine! Keep your dick to yourself!" Victoria said, storming off. I couldn't tell if she was messing around or was actually upset that I turned down sex with her.

I guessed it was the latter. Oh well. She'd forgive me later. Right now I had to wake up Mel. I shook her. She opened her eyes.

"What's up, Dylan?" She said.

"We need to go to breakfast with the rest of the girls so you can meet them and they can silently judge you and feel threatened by you," I said.

"Oh, is that all?" She said. "Maybe I'll pretend that you beat me, so I get instant sympathy and they like me more than you."

"I dare you to do that," I said. "That sounds hilarious."

"No! I can't actually do that! I'll just meet them like a normal person and tell them an embarrassing story about you," she said.

"That would never work! I don't do embarrassing things," I said.

"That's fair," she said.

When we were at breakfast, Mira, Victoria, Alice, Lara, and Maven sat down with Mel and I at a booth. I introduced Mel to them and we got to talking. Everyone got along quite well. It wasn't any of the original five that were the problem.

Ophelia who had changed into a full human form, as did the rest of the girls, was staring daggers at Mel. I pretended like I didn't notice, but I did. Penny was nowhere to be found.

I grabbed the sugar container absentmindedly and tried to pour some sugar into my coffee, but no sugar came out. Instead it made this weird noise, "Pssshhhh." It sounded like someone imitating the sound of sugar pouring with their mouth.

It was super weird. I shook the sugar container to try to get sugar to come out, but instead, the sugar container started to get bigger and change colors. When it started doing that, I knocked it off the table.

Then, I watched as the sugar container turned into Penny. Penny was a mimic. Apparently she had been mimicking the sugar container on our table. She had just been chilling there.

"Penny? What the fuck? Were you spying on us?" I said.

"No?" She said.

"Then what were you doing?" I said.

"Just listening to you all talk," she said, poking her fingers together.

"That's called spying, Penny. When you listen in on people's conversations and they don't know you're there," I said.

"Oh. I guess I was spying then," she said.

"Why?" I said.

"I just wanted to be near you," she said.

"You could've asked to sit at our booth," I said.

"Yeah, but then you might've said, 'no.'" She said.

"Yeah, that's kind of how consent works, Penny. Sometimes people say no. I wouldn't have said no, but you run that risk when you ask for things. But you can't just take what you want, Penny. That's wrong!" I said. "Now go back to your room! I'll talk to you later."

"Ok," she said, as she started crying and ran away back towards the elevators.

Everyone at the table was looking at me. "What?" I said. "She needs to learn to respect people's privacy and autonomy."

"You made her cry, Dyl. And you embarrassed her in front of the entire restaurant. Don't you think you went a little too far?" Mira said.

I was surprised by this. Mira was usually on my side about things. I looked around the table, and all the girls had a similar look on their faces. They were upset with me, for what I did.
