Vampire System- The Last Mystic Swordsman

Elanor's face was red as she blushed fiercely on re-picturing the state at which she saw Rex just a moment ago, she stole a glance at Aragorn who had a nonchalant look on his face as they both stayed outside the door.

Then she whispered. "Damn…, I've never seen Rex so intimate with a girl".

"And I always thought he was so insensitive and unromantic, damn, I've never even cuddled so intimately with Max, I'm jealous".

"Damn, I can't believe Rex was pretending all this time".

"That devil is a playboy, he's been pretending all this time".

Elanor soon grew annoyed as it seemed like she was talking to herself as she bumped Aragorn on the shoulder. "Hey, I'm talking to you".

"I'm listening".

"Gosh, you're so annoying". Elanor sighed exasperatedly. "If it wasn't for this your nonchalant personality, perhaps, if fate had it, we would have been lovers".

Aragorn turned to face her. "I'm not looking for love…"

"Damn you!" She cut him off before he could finish with an angry face.

Seeing her reaction, Aragorn chuckled. "You've changed a lot, I don't remember you being so talkative and sensitive when we first met you".

"You…!" She glared at him.

"I told you before, I was an unmatched genius back in the micro world, I was too proud to make friends with the others but you guys humbled me, especially that playboy Rex, that guy is a freak".

She sighed and rubbed her nose. "I changed to fit in, can't you appreciate a good change for once? Don't you like this version of me better?"

Aragorn held his chin in thought. "I think the previous one brought me more peace of mind to focus on my experiments and mechanical ideas".

Elanor shook in rage. "Damn you!!!"

…

While Aragorn and Elanor bickered outside the room, with a look of exasperation on his face, Rex tiredly looked at his surroundings for someone.

"Hey, they're gone, you can come back now".

"…"

"You can come now, really, please…"

"F*ck! Stop acting like a kid, all we did was cuddle".

Bzzz!

Cassandra appeared from the shadows again and grabbed Rex on the cheek tightly as she glared at him. "The nerve!"

"You just sullied my reputation!" She sighed and slumped on the bed.

While rubbing his cheek greviantly, Rex looked at Cassandra who laid on the bed as he chuckled. "You keep blaming me but I didn't force you lol, you enjoyed my company and stayed, or did I force you?"

Cassandra glared at him again. "You hugged me".

"We cuddled".

"Ahh…, get lost". Cassandra covered her face. "If my subordinates ever hear of this, my notorious reputation would crumble like rotten cake".

"Why care so much about reputation? I don't give a damn about it, not before and definitely not now. If we can stay happy, who gives a damn about reputation?" Rex spoke casually as he stood up and put on his clothes.

Cassandra just looked at him without saying a word.

"Damn, I'm so hungry". Rex finally grabbed his grumbling stomach. "They're waiting outside, let's go meet them".

After just one night with Rex, Cassandra already experienced a mysterious change psychologically. As soon as Rex said to go, she felt an instinctive urge to nag which was something that her usual self would never do.

"No, I'm not going…"

Knock!

A knock reverberated on the door followed by a whisper from a mischievous female voice. "Rex, we're not eavesdropping or anything but I just wanted to remind you that we're here".

This time, Cassandra no longer nagged, she stood up to leave with Rex. As soon as they went outside, Aragorn and Elanor finally got the chance to have a good glance at her.

"Wow, so this is Cassandra". Elanor smiled as she went closer to her. "I've heard a lot about you from Rex, he's so obsessed with you".

"Elanor…" Rex cried. "I'm hungry".

"Umm…" Aragorn coughed. "Let's go have a feast then".

The news that the Gang Leader finally woke up swept across the Berserk Gang like a plague, its momentum was unstoppable as the news got its way to each of the different regions of the Red Zone in no time.

And like expected, all the leaders of the Berserk Gang representing in the different regions made their way to the Northern region to celebrate.

Aragorn, the interim Gang Leader already ordered a celebratory feast.

In this feast, Rex got to eat like a beast as the effects of spending almost 3 months in a coma took its toil on his body. Almost all his energy reserves were exhausted by his body already, he ate to fill all of them up.

After eating to his fill, he finally had the energy to socialize and merry with the others. Today was a memorable day for the Red Zone as a whole.

From that morning, the feast lasted all the way to the night and this was when Rex finally asked for all the occurrences of the past 2 months in his absence.

Though he already got everything from Cassandra, getting it personally from his subordinates hit differently.

As they joked, Rex reminisced. Looking at warriors from the Northern region, Southern region, and all the other regions gathered together celebrating his recovery, he felt a sense of contentment well in his heart.

He felt that he was finally doing something good.

That same night, as the celebrations still continued while Rex excused himself to retreat for the night, Aragorn followed him and gave him deeper intel about the current situation of the Berserk Gang.

This was when Rex learned of Max, Gandalf, and Scorpion's demands.

"I will make time to meet them tomorrow".

"Ok, what of the official delegation of leadership in the gang?" Aragorn asked before Rex could leave, putting him in deep thought.

"For that, I'll call for a higher-ups meeting with you guys, but announce on my behalf that I'll be announcing all the leaders of the gang in 2 weeks".

After that, Rex retreated to his kingly room to rest again. On returning, he saw Cassandra already on the bed which put a wide smile on his face.

"What's so funny?"

"Nah, nothing, I've just fantasized about this moment for far too long". Rex sighed and jumped into the bed. "I'm glad it's finally becoming reality".

This time, no one demanded it first. After doing it once, it naturally happened again as both lovers instinctively drifted into each other's arms for a cuddle.

While they cuddled, Rex asked. "You forgot your reputation".

"Huh?"

"Back in the feast, you ate and celebrated with us without abandon, won't that affect your reputation? I thought you were so specific about it".

Cassandra smirked. "I had a motive for doing it".

"Didn't you see the reactions of your subordinates? The more you get famous, the more poachers would want to poach you from me".

"I had to establish the fact to them that you were taken".

"…" Rex scratched his head.

"As for my reputation". She smiled. "Few assassins know my real face among the Sad Flutes Assassins, they mostly know my iconic mask and my snake eyes".

"Even if they see me, they won't know it's the Snake Empress".

"Wow, that's awesome, I think I'll get a mask at some point too".

For the 2nd consecutive night, the lovers talked themselves to sleep.

As soon as Cassandra fell asleep, Rex opened his eyes as he accessed a treasure of his that he had hidden in his mind.

"System, show me my updated system status".
