Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

I stood up, noticing the changes within my body. I felt stronger, and perhaps, I had grown much taller? In fact, it felt like I aged a year. I was taller and had even more muscles around my body, rather well developed at that.

Aside from that, I noticed the internal changes, my heart was back to normal, constantly beating and releasing a strange energy through my body. It wasn't as near as I had imagined, but it was a power that was separate from divinity, mana, and spirit energy.

Cosmic Energy?

"Hmm… I finally have it again, huh?"

[Congratulations, you have successfully evolved your [Divine Dragon Heart] Skill!]

[Your [Divine Dragon Heart] Skill has evolved into [Spiritual Cosmic Dragon Heart]!]

[The new Evolved Skill: [Spiritual Cosmic Dragon Heart] has gained +5 Bonus Levels.]

In my previous life as Asmodeus, I had to refine entire planet cores and stars to achieve this level. To ascend into a Cosmic Realm Vampire.

I wasn't quite in the Cosmic Realm though, far from it, this cosmic energy was very weak as well, and it shouldn't be able to grow like normal either, as it requires me to absorb stars to strengthen itself.

But perhaps if I merge it with my other powers and abilities, it could develop on its own way… It is certainly not going to help me win any battle easily, nor I can employ it to alter space, time, or reality like the Cosmic Dragons just did.

However, it should potentially help me strengthen my existing powers to a higher level above their current one. And perhaps with the power of Creation, I might one day achieve their level.

Though, for now, that's just a fantasy.

"Have I become a Cosmic Dragon now?"

"Of course not, you've obtained a Cosmic Dragon Heart through an illegitimate method. You're certainly stronger than before, but your cosmic energy is highly diluted… nonetheless, it still a massive upgrade from before, so technically, as long as you don't compare yourself to the other users of cosmic energy, then you're certainly much more powerful."

Oten was direct and answered the question without hesitation, she was very useful.

"The Skill is now called "Spiritual Cosmic Dragon Heart" because it is still not the same as a true Cosmic Dragon Heart," she explained. "This is the limit of what I could accomplish at your current level. The Cosmic Dragon Heart is more spiritual and ethereal rather than a physical object, as the original would have a size that would far surpass your current body."

"Hah, well said, I guess that's as much as I should've expected," I nodded. "I wonder though, just how strong am I compared to my previous self? Am I stronger now? Or weaker? I often times think I might be stronger in some areas and still weaker in others."

"To your latest former self? You have yet to reach his power," said Oten. "But you have already gotten very far… There are some aspects you're getting very close to, but others which not. However, if you and your previous self were to battle, hypothetically… I don't know who would win, you could certainly even the field with your familiars. If you summon millions and receive their stats."

"Huh…" I smiled. "I see… Well, that's that for now. We're done with the rewards. So let's move on to the last stage, shall we? Oten, show me my Talen or Class Rank Up options, whatever you want to call them."

"They're indeed actually called Classes, but the people of this world decided to call them Talent, both terms are interchangeable either way," Oten said. "And yes, it is ready. Your Class Rank Up will be special this time, Blake. You will double Rank Up. Meaning you will go from Five Stars to Seven Stars."

"What does this mean exactly?" I asked. "Do I get to choose two classes and combine them?"

"That would be the normal way, but you possess access to the Talent Fusion feature that your Grimoire has absorbed," explained Oten.

"So that means I'll get the fuse four classes? No, perhaps six?" I wondered. "In my last Rank Up, I combined three Talents together after all."

"Not really, what you did before is combine your existing talent with two others," she explained. "Which would mean you could combine your existing talent with four more talents…"

"I see… I guess that's fine with me. Did you have any other option?" I asked her.

"Yes, I was thinking of another option. One that would allow more customization," she smiled. "Even more. You can choose keywords from the available Talents and create a new Talent out of them instead of directly fusing, which could create some convoluted name."

"After all, your Divine Spirit Blood King Necromancer Summoner Class already has a very long name, do you want it to be longer?"

"I honestly don't care if it's longer as long as it brings me more strength, but I am intrigued about these keywords. Would they have a stronger effect than if directly fusing?"

"Yes, it should create a unique Class instead of a mashup of existing ones, with a more defined path and powers instead of mere combinations. It would also be less of a mess for me to program, and its effects might be greater."

"Hm, fine, let's do it your way. Show me what I have available for now." I said.

"Very well, there's quite a few options…" She nodded.

Ding!

[Please select Six Keywords from all available Talents to create a new Talent.]

{Available Talents}

[Summoner God: ★★★★★★★]

[Celestial Beast Tamer: ★★★★★★★]

[Abyssal Demonic Spear Lodestar: ★★★★★★★]

[Outer God Warlock: ★★★★★★★]

[Celestial Dragon Tamer: ★★★★★★★]

[Blood World Emperor: ★★★★★★★]

[Demonic Chimera King: ★★★★★★★]

[Netherworld Lich King: ★★★★★★★]

[Genetically Engineered Machine Warrior Pilot: ★★★★★★★]

[Xenoid King: ★★★★★★★]

[Pale Rider: ★★★★★★★]

[Dragon Spirit Summoner: ★★★★★★★]

"These are all available Talents."

"Only six keywords out of so many options? Isn't this too stingy?"

"Don't worry, every keyword will hold all the power, skills, and stats of the Talent chosen."

"Hmm, okay."

I nodded, looking at the list more attentively.

There was a lot…
