### Next Day
Victor (POV):
I had a lot of time on my hands before the inevitable day of my birth, so I decided to explore the functions of the system panel. First on the agenda: giving the system a name. I needed something subtle, something that wouldn't scream "I have a system!" if I accidentally mentioned it. After all, the Marvel Universe is crawling with geniuses who might pick up on that kind of slip. I settled on "Silver." Neutral, unassuming, and easy to explain away as a preference for silver coins or jewelry—nothing that would raise eyebrows.
Next, I had to determine whether the system included any kind of mind-reading resistance. With telepaths like Professor X and Emma Frost running around, I couldn't afford to have my thoughts exposed. Unfortunately, there wasn't a clear answer in the system, but I resolved to find out as soon as I could.
The third task was crucial: figuring out the timeline. But as an unborn child, that was easier said than done. Just as I was about to give up, the system panel flickered, and new information appeared.

------------------------------------------------------
When I saw that I was in the period of Apocalypse's rule, I panicked. Apocalypse—the ancient mutant who thinks he's a god and experiments with soul transference to prolong his life. The last thing I wanted was to lose my body right after being reborn.
At least I had some time until delivery, but that wasn't exactly reassuring. My mind wandered to the small pleasures I'd miss, like pizza, burgers, and soft beds. I almost wanted to cry. But then, I thought about the evolution possibilities after birth and felt a surge of excitement. Living in the shadows, with powers beyond imagination, sounded like a dream come true.
The thought of my parents from my previous life crossed my mind, but it didn't linger. I was the second child, with an older sister and younger brother who could support our parents. They'd be fine without me.
Time blurred as I drifted between sleep and thoughts of the outside world. Three months passed in what felt like a heartbeat.

------------------------------------------------------
As the moment of birth approached, I added my skill points to Strength and Pain Resistance, knowing that the process wouldn't be pleasant. When the time finally came, I felt a sudden pull, followed by pain. But as I opened my eyes, I was greeted by the sight of a pale-skinned woman with striking red eyes, dressed in the garb of someone of high status. She was sweating, clearly exhausted from childbirth.
Two male guards and a female servant flanked her. The servant slapped me to make me cry, and I heard her speak to my mother about their escape plans while handing me to one of the guards.
Before long, I was given milk, which I reluctantly accepted despite my embarrassment at being a grown man in mind and soul.

Exhaustion hit me hard, and I drifted off to sleep.

Victoria (POV):
After the agony of childbirth, I was completely drained. But when I looked at my newborn son, I wanted to cry—not from exhaustion, but from the knowledge that I couldn't be with him for long. I am Victoria Von Stein, daughter of one of the elders of the purebred vampire families. My love for a human, Castel Black, led to this pregnancy, and that love cost me everything. I hadn't seen Castel in ages, and I feared the worst—he might be dead, a victim of our forbidden relationship.
My family disowned me for tainting their bloodline with a hybrid. They even ordered my execution, but with my mother's help and her loyal followers, I managed to escape. Now, we were on the run, hunted by both the vampire families and the fanatics who worshipped Apocalypse as a god.
I decided to name my son Victor Black, so he would always remember his origins and his mother's name.

Maid (POV):
I was worried about the child, now in the guard's hands. We couldn't keep him with us—it was too dangerous. We were being hunted, and every second we stayed in one place put us at risk. The future was uncertain, and our survival depended on every decision we made.
