Vampire God in the Apocalypse

We were on another family road trip. My dad was as grumpy as always, while my mom played with me.

I was at the back seat with my mom while the driver rode at a steady pace, playing a very boring song of the rock genre.

"Yeah mom. I want to swim. I'm a big boy now." I said while standing on the seat.

I was only 11 years old then. I didn't know what could happen, I didn't know what to even expect.

"Honey. I just spotted some insects following us." Dads voice came from the front seat.

"Oh dear, were on vacation, besides, they might coincidentally be going in the same way as us." Mom said with a smile and dad nodded at her while resting his chin on his fist which was supported by the open window.

"I still think we should confront them." Dad said but mom ignored him as its just how he was.

He was always cautious of his actions.

"So what game do you want to play?" Mom asked me with a bright smile.

I did not know at that time, that I was about to experience the worse pain of my life.

I sat down, playing games naively, until...

The skies suddenly changed colors to bright red and the car we were in was the only one on the road.

"What the...!" The driver immediately panicked.

"Shit! Illusionary world!" Dad shouted from the front seat and then he was about to remove the seat belt from his body but suddenly the car was lifted up by an invisible force and it tumbled and rolled as the world became normal again.

My mom used her body to protect me, and died in the process, while my dad. He was impaled by a broken metal which was part of the car.

Now that I recall what happened, that incident doesn't seem very natural.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

"Yeah, it doesn't." Dexter said with furrowed brows as he patted Henry's back.

"It's clear now that some supernatural entity caused it at that moment." Dexter said with certainty in his tone.

"I guess."

"Hm? You don't seem happy about knowing." Dexter said in confusion as he looked at Henry who still had a sad face after all they just discussed.

"It's not that I'm not happy to know. It's that even if I know, it won't change the fact that they're gone." Henry said which made him more sad.

"Hey, don't worry bro. I'm here now, you can count me as family." Dexter said as he wrapped his arm around Henry's neck.

"Thanks." Henry said.

"Judging from the story you told me. It would be most likely to be witches. It was like a fake reality, that's your description of what you saw before the car tumbled?" Dexter asked and Henry nodded.

Dexter sighed.

"You know, compared to your situation, mine doesn't sound like a big deal." Dexter said and Henry looked at him.

"My dad died because of a sickness when I was just 14. Meanwhile, you had to watch your parents die in front of you, that must have been horrifying." Dexter looked down to the floor as he sympathized with his friend.

Although Dexter lost someone at a young age, Henry lost everything at a younger age. His mom, his dad, his family, his sense of happiness, his home...

"Yeah, it was horrifying. I had a shard of glass in my neck." Henry replied as he held his necks as the pain was imprinted on his memory.

"But I barely remember it. I was a kid back then and even now, I have trouble remembering them."

"Don't worry. People can be forgetful sometimes." Dexter still cheered Henry on.

Dexter and Henry talked a bit and Dexter was about to go when Henry called him back.

"Yo dexter. One more thing." Henry stood up straight.

"Its about my spirit interface. Ever since the beginning of the apocalypse, my race has been in question marks." Henry explained and Dexter was shocked to hear this.

"W... what?!" Dexter immediately became shocked by this info.

"Including you, that's two people I know whose races were concealed behind question marks." Dexter mumbled.

"Really? Who else?"

"Hannah." Dexter said and Henry raised a brow.

"I didn't think it would be her that would be brought up. What if we aren't human?" Henry asked and Dexter smirked as he already knew that Hannah was a werewolf so that one was solved.

Henry wasn't anything special, average in strength, average fighting capabilities, average intelligence, but he still had a race that was questioned by the system.

'Why is their's questioned? Since werewolf is a race like vampires which is very popular out there, there is no way werewolves could be questioned.' Dexter thought as he shook his head.

'Or... it could be that they are both not wolves but something else?' Dexter put a hand on his chin.

'Nah!! Henry is very human and Hannah is a werewolf, end of discussion.' Dexter nodded as he was happy about his Conclusion.

"I still need to enter Heaven's tower today. See you later." Dexter said before leaving and Henry picked up his guitar before walking away.

...

"What a weird day?" Dexter said as he stretched inside his room as he sat on the bed while stretching.

In front of the door was Lily who seemed sad as she couldn't go out to hunt today.

"Don't worry Lily. I'll make up for it by taking you hunting myself, we'll find powerful creatures and you'll be able to level up faster." Dexter encouraged her and Lily nodded with a smile before staying in front of him.

Dexter brought up a few notifications in front of him.

[You have reached level 20.]

[You are now able to enter Heaven's tower.]

[Enter?]

[Yes] | [No]

Dexter quickly selected the Yes button and again, his spirit left his body which was a very familiar occurrence.

He was suddenly shot towards the sun from earth at a greater speed.

After he reached within the sun he saw the familiar view of a straight bridge in front of him which lead to the tower, he walked towards the tall, golden tower which stood majestically in the distance.

Dexter wasn't ready to play no more, he has a vampire hunter case so he needs a lot of things right now.
