Vampire Lord's Demonic Wives

Zoravec and Blake both carefully covered all the mirrors in blood hurriedly. The siblings silently passed through the whole lane without investing any effort. However, Zoravec was annoyed over their easy passing tactics and wanted to raise his voice against the unfair judgement. But waiting for the test to be over was the dire need for it.

Clara was happy that the task was over now, as soon as they reached the last mirror she made an assumption. The three of them approached the small stage and looked at it carefully to sense any kind of traps. Zoravec lifted himself up on toes to pick up the flicker, but before his hand could touch the blue flame it started whirring.

The blue flame flickered and started to expand vertically as it coiled around Zoravec' hand. He had no clue what it was and possibly how it could affect his body. But he did not want to appear rude so he accepted the invitation of that flame and let it absorb into his arm. Zoravec felt a slight bearable pang in his arm which died in no time.

Clara and Blake saw his veins turning blue and appearing visibly, which soon returned to normal. None of them had any clue what it was, however one thing was certain; they could not possibly trust anything present in the battlefield. What if that flicker was some kind of poison and the advent of task three!?

"Zoravec, are you alright? Tell us, what are you feeling?"

Blake panicked upon seeing him bending forward a little which indicated his pain. Although it was bearable, the unannounced starting of it made Zoravec hold his affected arm and lean in. Blake could not afford to lose him now that the possibility of task three was there.

[Reward system has been allotted to the host]

Before Zoravec could comprehend anything he heard a sound in his head which stunned him. How could there be a voice in his head? He immediately looked at Blake and Clara, upon seeing their normal expressions and not bringing any kind of voice; Zoravec knew only he could hear it. Well, that was a problem too. Right?

[Do you wish to proceed with the mental link establishment?]

Zoravec looked at the two of his partners in shock, he did not have any idea what kind of risk that establishment would bring. If that reward system would be linked with his mind, the possibility of his thought theft would increase. And Zoravec had no intention of giving anybody access to his mind and thoughts.

The whole damned thought was ridiculous. How could the Pentagon pry into the minds of participants and soldiers!?

"Yes, yes I am alright. It is just this pop up in my head, I think it came from that flame."

Zoravec deliberately told them about the flame and the systemic pop up in his head. No wonder he was illiterate in such stuff, and could not afford to lose anything due to lack of his knowledge.

Since, Blake and Clara had an influential background and must have had some prior knowledge about the tests. He was certain that they both must know something about that systemic reward and could help him with the fears. Even though it was risky to ask them, it was still better to avoid any kind of possible peril.

"What pops up?"

Clara questioned him with an excited gaze, Zoravec could guess that she knew something about it. However, Blake was equally confused about what was happening. He hadn't heard any such kind of thing like Zoravec. However, he felt that sharing it with Clara would be a wise thing at that time.

"I don't know, it says something systemic reward and is asking for my permission to link it with my mind."

Zoravec blurted out everything to her hoping to receive any kind of response which would not disappoint him. Clara chuckled slowly and smacked him gently over the shoulder as she filled him in with the information.

"Haha, it is a reward for you. Take it as a notepad for jotting down everything about yourself. Just that all of it will be done only inside your head, you can see all notifications inside your head. Customised stuff."

Clara explained everything to him as if it was an easy thing to proceed with. However, Zoravec was not fully convinced about proceeding and permitting that system to pry into his mind. Thus, he ensured to ask that part to Clara in case she might be aware of it. Whereas Blake stood there silent and skimmed around himself only to realise the biggest nightmare.

"But won't that give access to this system or whatever it is, regarding my thoughts? I mean, if I am linking it with my brain and the screen will also pop up in my head, won't it give all the access to my thoughts too? That's insane!"

Clara smiled and shook her head as she was impressed once again with his farsighted thinking. No wonder, he could ace all the tasks so well with his observations. She could not help but admire him even more for his impressive and reserved personality which appeared magnetic to her.

"No, it would not. It is a customised thing, whatever you will think and jot down will only be accessible to you. It is like a notepad connected only to you, like a digital health notice and similar stuff. And no, it won't access your thought process or memories. You can allow it to establish the link."

Clara told him everything she knew which was the information given to her by her father. However, Zoravec was still not fully convinced by her words. There were many loopholes in him getting that system. Why were other participants not given the privilege? Was it because the authorities did not expect more than one person to pass task two?

"Gosh, I want to get one too. They only give this privilege to the soldiers and similar people. After all, there is no going back when we have come by burning all the ships. It is expected they are giving us this privilege as a reward."
