My Daughter is a Vampire

[Yes] [No]

Brian quickly removed his thoughts of bliss and clicked on yes.

[Please select your class]

[Warlock] [Bookworm]

Without any hesitation, he clicked on the warlock.

.....

When another panel appeared, he once again clicked yes.

[Please select your class]

[Warlock] [Bookworm]

This time, he selected bookworm otherwise he would have to wait till he reaches lvl.25 to unlock the second ability.

...…..

[Your class has been upgraded]

[You have unlocked a new passive ability: Speedreading]

Finally, no new panel appeared in front of him. Brian was satisfied with all that hard work he has put into the Fire Demon Dungeon and the sacrifice he made in this battle.

Thinking of sacrifice, his eyes narrowed as he opened his status.

'Just as I thought. 55% stamina left. Even if my stamina returns to full, I can only use 55% of my total stamina. And, this is even worse for my body in a real-life.'

'Damn! Can I even stick more than an hour in a bed with such low stamina?' Brian was frustrated seeing this. After helplessly sighing for a moment, he looked at the priest who was now healed by another priest.

But, they were glaring at him with hatred. Before he was a normal player but now he was the servant of darkness in their eyes. Brian sighed and left without saying goodbye.

After he came out, two more notifications appeared in front of him.

[Your STR has been boosted by three times]

[Your AGI has been boosted by two times]

Seeing this, he sighed. He was happy that he got his Dragon Ring effects back. 

'Now that I think about it, not only did I reach level 17 but also got a lot stronger than before. I think I can stay with Charlotte and Ely for a week before playing intensely.'

'But then again, I have to clear the Flood Dragon Dungeon to get what I want. I still have 55% of my total stamina. I can lay low for a while. In the meantime, I need to figure out a perfect strategy to use Bookworm Class efficiently with Warlock Class.'

'Originally, I had a plan for Shaman Class. Now, I need to make some changes. Anyway, I should leave now.'

"Log out!"

Without wasting any time, he logged out of the game. His consciousness returned back to his mind and he opened his eyes. He opened the pod and slowly walked out of it.

Beep1 Beep! Beep! Beep! Beep!

He frowned upon hearing the alarm. He dashed towards the computers and saw Ely typing on the keyboard while Charlotte standing next to her with a worried expression.

Then, his eyes fell on a small purple ball under the five mechanical arms.

"What's going on? Why are you creating a Dark Matter Bomb with such instability?" Brian frowned as he asked while rushing next to her.

When he reached there, Ely turned around. She had big tears falling down her cheeks. When she saw Brian, she jumped into his embrace.

"Waaaaa- waaaa- sorry, daddy, I mess up... waaaaa!"

Brian was shocked when he saw her crying. He instantly understood the situation. Ely didn't create the bomb knowingly. His eyes trembled. He hurriedly pushed Ely to Charlotte's embrace and took a seat.

"Lily, activate all defense systems in case anything goes wrong"

"Tell me the properties of the bomb! Use the Dark Matter stabilizer to change the frequency of the dark matter. Recalibrate the energy output and change the output of dark matter back to 3.5 ounces"

Suddenly, a small hand clutched his sleeve. He turned around and saw Ely looking at him with a teary face. Her arms were wrapped around Charlotte's neck.

Brian smiled and patted her head.

"It's okay, sweetie! We will talk later. Daddy needs to stabilize this thing."

Turning around, he looked at all the information Lily gave him. Then, he turned around and looked at Ely with suspicion but he didn't think too much and started commanding Lily.

"Lily, activate the dark matter container! Use the Function T-235 and stabilize the bomb!"

After commanding her, Brian finally turned around and spread his arm. Ely jumps into his embrace and starts crying out loud.

"It's okay, sweetie! It's normal to create one or two bombs in a lab. But, how did you find out the method? I thought I had locked it inside my private database."

Although I sounded easy and sweet, Charlotte noticed some suspicion in my eyes and looked at Ely with confusion. Even she was confused by this. A few minutes ago, she heard the alarm going crazy and rushed down.

She saw Ely crying and blaming herself for accidentally creating a dark matter bomb inside the lab. She couldn't blame Ely because she seemed so scared that it was the first time she had seen Ely like this.

Ely didn't reply. She just kept sobbing on his arm. She was scared. She was trembling in his arms. 

'Why? Why did I listen to her? I almost killed everyone. I am so foolish. I am such an idiot. I am so stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid.'

Ely felt rage when she thought about her but suddenly she remembered a few words and her rage vanished.

'If you don't want daddy to die in the future, help me! It is the only way to keep daddy alive.'

She didn't want to believe in her but she knew everything, even the secrets that she hasn't told her mom. Nobody should've known about that except for her. 

Brian sighed. Ely didn't reply means something was really off. But, he didn't want to blame Ely. Ely made a mistake because this was something out of her understanding.

Using dark matter to create a special fuel that he calls 'Space-Time Fuel' was one of his secrets and abandoned this project. Space-Time Fuel was required to time-travel.

But, the entire concept of time travel didn't work and he abandoned this project three years ago. He didn't expect someone to reinitiate this project. The only problem is that he doesn't know who. 

But, no matter who that person might be, it managed to convince Ely to run this experiment. Brian took a deep breath and looked at Charlotte.

"You haven't cooked anything, right?"

Charlotte suddenly smiled and shook her head.

"Alright then, let's go out and eat today." Brian patted Ely's head and slowly pulled her chin up.

"Look at your daddy!" Seeing those eyes dodging to look at him, Brian smiled.

Ely took a little more time to adjust. When she looked at him, Brian rubbed her head and said "Don't worry about making mistakes! You are just a kid. No matter how smart you are, you need to live as a kid."

"And, if you make any mistakes, don't worry, daddy will fix them for you. He will do anything for you, sweetie!"

Hearing his words, those dried eyes suddenly let out tears once again. She rubbed her arms around him and cried.

'Mommy, I broke this while playing. Can you help me fix it?'

'Ely, how many times have I told you? You need to fix your mistakes by yourself.'

'But mommy, that Ryan asked his mother to fix his toy and she did it.'

'Ely, you and Ryan are people from different worlds. He is just a son of a maid. You are the daughter of the smartest mind in this world and also the strongest person in the world.'

'Mommy, is that why you married daddy? Because he is the smartest man.'

'Of course not …. But, you don't need to know this now. Go and fix it yourself. I am busy right now.'

At that time, she didn't understand the difference between her mother and Ryan's mother. She thought she was special and needs to grow like a special person.

Slowly, a smile appeared on her lips as she snuggled her face against his chest.

'I don't need to be special. I am just happy being my daddy's Ely.'

But, slowly a trace of helplessness appeared in her eyes.

'Is this the reason why future me never called her 'mommy' while talking to me?'
