Capítulo 4: Unleashing the Darkness
Reading the message, Adrian finally felt that all those years of being mistreated, running for his life, being judged, and sometimes even being beaten and called useless were worth it. Knowing that this was the only opportunity to change one's destiny from someone useless to someone powerful and important, Adrian answered "Yes!" mentally.

In those 4 years, Adrian wasn't just wondering what was happening to him. No, he spent a lot of free time looking for anything that could relate to this system. He started his search from the concept of Blessings, then he looked through material from the ancient ages of mankind, even before the dark ages, where beasts and monsters started to appear, searching for everything he could find about this vampire lord called Dracula who blessed him.
Then, after so much research, Adrian finally put together the theory he found most plausible, that for some reason Dracula and the other supernatural beings suffered some kind of loss and thus were unable to help humanity during the Dark Ages. The smaller supernatural entities managed to appear and help in the ways they could. But now after multiple years, Dracula somehow managed to convey his blessing in the form of this System, similar to a dark ritual.
But with so little information, Adrian didn't know if all this he guessed was what had really happened, or if in fact it was all a setup, a conspiracy, or a curse; without any proof, he couldn't know for sure. However, according to what the task had told him, following Dracula would lead him to the truth and to the path of power, so maybe it was only a matter of time before he knew what really happened.
In those years that Adrian depended only on himself and on the information he managed to gather, it ended up generating in him a craving to always seek knowledge, to understand how things worked, and to find some way to control them. Even though this thirst for power and control was probably considered unethical, it was one of the things that kept him alive until now, and now that he had power, he had no intention of casting these desires aside.
Leaving doubts behind, Adrian said mentally, 'Yes, I wish to use the Token immediately.'

Reading the system messages, Adrian felt a surge of darkness enveloping him. It was as if the skill was in the palm of his hand, as if a sixth sense had awakened within him. It was as easy to control as any other aspect of his being, but outwardly, he appeared just like any ordinary teenager.
He had to exercise restraint to resist the urge to fully unleash the darkness that now resided within him. The past four years had taught him the importance of concealing his true strength, especially in the presence of others. Adrian's instincts whispered to him, "Embrace the shadows," but his experience taught him to be cautious and hide his true capabilities until the opportune moment.
Even though he had never wielded the power of darkness before, Adrian instinctively understood how to manipulate the Shadows of Dracula that now coursed through his veins. However, he felt that these shadows were still in their infancy, waiting to be nurtured and empowered.
Remembering the second message the
system sent him, he recalled the fact that he would attend Blessed Academy, a renowned institution for those blessed by supernatural entities. Adrian had heard stories about the academy, a place where the gifted gathered to hone their abilities and learn about their blessings. It was a rare opportunity to meet others like him and potentially unravel the mysteries surrounding their newfound powers.
With the determination burning in his eyes, Adrian made his way to Blessed Academy. It was a vast campus situated in a remote location, surrounded by ancient trees and a sense of foreboding. The academy was known for its rigorous training programs and demanding curriculum, ensuring that only the strongest and most dedicated individuals would rise to the top.
As Adrian entered the academy's main gates, he couldn't help but feel a sense of anticipation. The path ahead was shrouded in uncertainty, but he was ready to face any challenges that awaited him. He knew that within these hallowed halls, he would find answers, strength, and the means to uncover the truth about his heritage.
In the distance, a figure stood waiting, their presence exuding an air of authority. It was none other than the headmaster of Blessed Academy, the legendary Dracula himself. Clad in dark robes, his eyes gleaming with ancient wisdom, Dracula surveyed the incoming students with a mixture of curiosity and expectation.
As Adrian approached, he could feel the weight of Dracula's gaze upon him, as if the vampire lord was peering into his very soul. The headmaster's voice, smooth and commanding, echoed in Adrian's ears.
"Welcome, young one. I am Dracula, the founder and headmaster of Blessed Academy. You have been chosen to wield the powers of darkness, bestowed upon you by my blessing. In this academy, you shall learn to harness your abilities, unlock your true potential, and rise above the limitations of mortal existence."
Adrian nodded respectfully, his eyes meeting Dracula's gaze with unwavering determination. "Thank you, Headmaster Dracula. I am honored to be here and eager to learn. I will not disappoint you."
A flicker of satisfaction passed through Dracula's eyes, as if he approved of Adrian's response. "Good. Remember, the path you tread is not an easy one. It requires discipline, dedication, and a willingness to embrace the darkness within. Now, follow me. Your journey begins."
With those words, Dracula turned and led Adrian deeper into the heart of the academy. Adrian's heart raced with anticipation, his mind filled with countless questions and possibilities. He knew that the path ahead would be treacherous, but he was determined to emerge stronger, harnessing the powers of darkness and uncovering the truth about his lineage.
As Adrian followed in Dracula's footsteps, he couldn't help but feel that his life had taken a drastic turn. From a powerless outcast, he now stood on the threshold of greatness, ready to embrace his destiny as Dracula's descendant. The journey would be fraught with challenges, but Adrian was determined to overcome them all and claim his rightful place among the blessed.
With each step, he embraced the darkness within him, knowing that it would be his greatest ally in the battles to come. As the shadows whispered their secrets and the academy loomed before him, Adrian felt a surge of excitement and apprehension. The time for hiding was over; now, it was time to unleash the darkness and become the true heir of Dracula.
