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

-----

Once their evolution was done, the two were raring to go on a hunting spree, so I allowed them to go loose near the mithril mountain, where there was a forest full of dangerous monsters between D Rank to B Rank simply named "Mithril Mountain's Forest", which had been growing more dangerous due to being unsupervised for so many decades.

"Go wild, return in a couple of hours." I ordered them. "Don't kill all monsters though, and bring me anything you hunt back, the materials and spirit orbs will be useful."

"ROAR!"

"WOOF!"

Ruby roared and Blood barked like a dog, something I thought wolves couldn't do, both of them then rushed away from the village, leaping into the nearby forest, crossing the Giant Elios Garden and then landing on the forest very far away from here in just a couple of seconds.

"D-Do you think this is safe for them? That forest is so dangerous…" My mother was worried about such things.

"I appreciate you worrying, mom, but don't worry about those two, they really need to stretch their bodies and try out all the power they have." I laughed. "If they ever go into a pinch, I'll know and I'll bring them back."

"O-Okay, alright." My mother nodded.

"Hohoho! I was a bit afraid, but these monsters are sure cute! Well done taming those things, they could eventually become this town's greatest guardians." My grandmother said.

"Yeah, once I finish all the things I must do, and settle down here, they will be just that." I nodded. "Now, next on the list of things I have to do… Time to make some eggs."

"Eh? You're making eggs?" My mother felt weirded out. "My son, what do you mean by that?"

"Are you imagining me as some sort of chicken laying eggs, mother?" I sighed, facepalming. "I mean what I did back then, when I gifted my siblings those eggs."

"Oh, that!" My mother instantly realized it. "You can make more of those eggs, isn't it? But aren't they expensive? Would it be worth to make more of those little pets when you already have so many powerful familiars?"

"I've learned something when fighting their armies, mother." I said. "When fighting demons, it is never too much. Their armies will always be hundreds of times larger than yours, their fighters even stronger, their magic much more powerful, and their leaders even more cunning than you.

You may think another strong familiar won't make much of a difference now, but you're mistaken, every single elite fighter I can get will make a difference, even more once I enter the true battlefield, where it is said that there are millions of demons, to the north of our continent… It is a war we're losing, but I'll turn the scales."

"My son…" My mother was surprised over my long speech, she never thought I would ever say such things, but I felt slightly inspired right now.

"Hahah, well, don't sweat the details. And what costs me spirit orbs is giving Talents, not making those eggs, mother. Don't worry." I laughed. "Shall we go eat breakfast then?"

"O-Oh, sure!" She smiled gently. "I have to make sure to appreciate you while you're around then, my son. If you're truly going to that war, then… I have to make sure I spoil you as much as I can while you're here." She hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"A-Ah, yes…" I felt embarrassed, but my mother has always been like this.

"Hohoh, I told you so, back then! That this child would one day become a hero, now look at him." My grandmother laughed cheerfully. "He'll keep reaching higher heights… I just know it."

Once we went back home after I helped them both on putting the clothes to dry by the sunlight, I sat down on the couch, my mother said she would make me breakfast and rejected my help, so I simply decided to move on my next thing I had to do.

I checked once more the Familiar Egg Skill description, making sure I had everything on mind.

[Familiar Egg: Lv3]

Skill Proficiency: 3.220/60.000

A Unique Skill that only Grandmaster Summoners can learn, by choosing a specific Familiar they can summon, it is possible to transform this Familiar into a Familiar Egg.

Once a Familiar is turned into a Familiar Egg, it cannot be summoned again in their original form, and it will be reborn as a {Unique Familiar}.

{Unique Familiars} are born even weaker than their original forms, and in a baby-like form, but can grow stronger by absorbing Spirit Orbs, Materials, and defeating Monsters.

After undergoing several stages, they will eventually surpass their original stats, skills, and abilities, and become much stronger than their original forms.

However, intensive care is needed, and {Unique Familiars} require the connection with someone's Soul to become {Bonded} for life.

It is possible to assign the {Unique Familiars} to the Grandmaster Summoner, or anybody they have a strong emotional connection with.

{Unique Familiars} cannot be summoned or multiplied like normal Familiars but will eventually grow tens or hundreds of times stronger than those that can be multiplied.

It is a preferred skill for Summoners that want quality over quantity.

{Unique Familiars} will also gain thrice as many stats per Rank Up, their Skills can evolve once they reach the max Stat of "+++", and they can also develop greater intelligence and a {Spirit Soul} of their own.

These Familiars can be revived if they die, by sacrificing a sufficient amount of Spirit Orbs, the stronger they are, the more are needed for their resurrection.

With each Skill Level, the maximum amount of Familiar Eggs you can create increases.

All Stats and their Skill Powers and Effects increase by +30% with each Skill Level. Current Bonus: +90%.

Available Familiar Egg Slots:

Level 3: [In Use: 2] [Available: 5]

"Level 3 already…"

It had leveled up faster than I imagined. I believe it was thanks to my recent Rank Up, coupled with the growth of the familiars themselves. It seems that all Unique Familiars made with this Skill, as they grow, add Skill Proficiency to it.

"Alright now, what should I pick?"

I started analyzing a large list of forgotten low rank Familiars. Plants, Ogres, Bugs, and even Undead, which I've neglected since I got them for the first time. They're all good on their own, but I also want something versatile and powerful.

Once they become a living being, they will also gain weaknesses, one of them is needing to eat and sleep because they get tired, like normal living beings… But there's one type of monster that doesn't go through such difficulties.

Three cards floated in front of me. Yeah I was going to make three right away. The more the merrier as they say. One showcased a simple-looking skeleton soldier holding a bone weapon, a second a rotting zombie with an angered expression and bloody veins covering its body, and lastly, a large axe with a pair of crimson eyes on top of it.

While I picked cute monsters that would form a strong emotional bond with my siblings, for me, I wanted to pick creatures that would be dreadful beings, incapable of needing to eat, sleep, or rest.

Undead and living weapons are the way.
