World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord

Chapter 160 Experimenting Evolutions

Slowly, the first rays of sunlight, or whatever produced light to indicate time in his soul realm, crept up and woke him up from his nice long rest. A little annoyed for sleeping so long, he actually hated going to bed in his soul realm because mentally he rested, but not much physically.

As he opened his eyes, he found most of the Anna's sleeping with him gone, probably to do their chores or tasks for the day. All but one, who right now was taking her nice slow time to ride his morning wood.

He yawned, not minding it at all, and stretched his arms up and out like a cat, arching his back a little as his spiritual body slowly came awake. He closed his eyes again and enjoyed the sensation of her for a while, thinking about everything that had happened yesterday such as reading the book Ren gave him, meeting that mosquito-kin, and creating those crystalline butterflies, before finishing up inside her.

Anna gave a light moan with a satisfied expression and worked the last of what he had left into her before getting off of him. She then made sure to clean him up and then left to change and prepare for her day, a happy smile on her face.

Van rested a bit longer, his thoughts back on the mosquito-kin, wondering what could it be that made her so unhappy and desperate to be loved. Thinking about it, he wondered if he could check what kind of prayers she threw at him, and was surprised that it was an option in his panel that covered his religion.

"Hmm... from what I can read... it's because most people don't like mosquitoes and thereby extension, mosquito-kin... makes some sense I guess... but because of it, most mosquito-kin are loners, desperate for attention, and they have a huge complex about their ugly wings." which now that he thought about it, were pretty ugly...

"Actually... Now that I think about it, she was actually pretty cute except for her wings... How do ugly mosquitoes become such cute little girls?" He thought about that for a while since it didn't make much sense to him, but he eventually shook his head and instead started to think about how he could help the poor mosquito-kin.

"I don't think I can turn her into a fairy-like I did with Lyn... Lyn was a special case after all... but maybe a pixie? Or a sprite? Sprites and insect-kins aren't that far from each other, at least in image... from what I remember Amie telling me, it goes... insect-kin, sprite, sometimes pixie, and then fairy... if we take into consideration the so-called pecking order of the fae... which if you think about it, helped cause all the animosity that started this war in the first place..."

"Hmm... maybe Venus can help, she has a few sprite followers after all. Maybe she won't mind sharing a bit of their blood. I could then use it to help that poor mosquito to become a sprite of some sort, her wings would change and become more beautiful if we did that, and maybe she would have more confidence in herself. Not to mention... Thinking of a plan to increase the overall power of my followers isn't a bad idea..."

And the more he thought about it, the more he liked the idea. "Perhaps I should be a god of blood as well... that would make it easier to manipulate bloodlines and make my followers stronger more naturally... This can be followed by being a god of light and darkness since I already have strong affinities for those two elements... maybe a god of evolution? Since I always seem to evolve my followers?" He shook his head. "I'm thinking too much about this... I should ask other people's suggestions first before I commit anything to stone..."

He then got up, just as Anna had finished changing and was about to walk out the door, he asked her to stop. "Hey... could you ask for that mosquito-kin, I want to ask her a few questions, also maybe rank her up to see what might happen."

"Oh? Are you sure that's all you're going to do?" Anna asked, a coy smile on her face.

"Yes... plus I would like to ask you a question... Why do we have so many followers in the first place?" The confusion in his voice was very clear. "I know statistically that there are bound to be a few converts..." He paused. "No... what I guess what I want to know is why they are joining my religion in the first place..." changing the direction of his questions now that he thought about it some more. "What are their reasons?
