The Vampire Cat System

From touching one item to another Bernard finally tested everything he had bought at the marketplace making him heaved out a sigh of relief.

For each one he touched he made sure he used appraise multiple times on it, since it could be another important vampire artifact that could prove to be useful to him, finally he was done with the items and was quite eager to go outside.

As he stood up he made a little stretch sitting in the same position for over an hour made his bones feel sore he thought, after he was done Bernard couldn't help but touch the chain black silver earring he had bought earlier and wonder what his friends' reaction would be like when they saw what was on his ear.

'I wonder what the guys would say when they eventually noticed the earring on my right ear?'Bernard thought to himself.

He could already see pictures in his head of what Sophia's, Emelia, and Ryan's expressions would be like, it was needless to say Ryan would definitely start teasing him, before telling him how many chicks he would be able to get with his new looks, while for Emelia she would definitely be surprised and wouldn't stop asking him if the earring was hurting his ear, and finally Sophia he didn't need to think too much to know what her reaction would be like, she would just glare at him while staring at his ears and say nothing.

However, at the same time, he didn't want to give anything that would relate himself to being a vampire away, to be honest, he wasn't sure if Emelia would immediately link the fact he was wearing an earring to a vampire, considering she was so obsessive in nature with vampires and everything that was relating to them, the fact she knew so much about vampires always gives him a bit of a scare because each and everything he does she would like to check if it was related to vampires.

While Bernard stood up he couldn't help but look at himself in the big crystal mirror in his room, as he looked at himself he realize the chain earring really gave him some kind of weird charm.

Although its function act like a repellent against the sun it seemed like besides that it also had another function when worn by him, not only that after he wore it his ear didn't start healing that particular hole the earring created instead they acted in some kind of perfect harmony with one another, if he was to say something then the earring was without a doubt belongs to vampires just from it weird traits.

'Appraise'

[A piece of earring. Due to your race, the piece may act as a sun repellent against direct sunlight. Noblesse earring currently equipped, safe to use]

Bernard read what appraise stated about the earring in his mind and nodded to himself, earlier he had been suspicious about the earring because even if it was a vampire item he didn't know who created it or who was the precious owner.

Not only that anything could have been done to it but after appraise his doubt had been cleared the good news was the system had informed him that the earring hadn't been tempered by someone, which meant even if he used it nothing would happen to him nor was there any side effect of using it. While the bad news was that the information he was able to get still wasn't enough.

He held his ear softly and removed the earring before placing it from his right ear onto his right hand, the earring still had the same look as it did before nothing had changed even after wearing it, it still had the solid black and silver looked like it was made from some kind of strange material, not that he knew what kind of material it was made from, but his guess was that it was related to the vampires.

After looking at it for a while, Bernard placed the earring back on his right ear immediately he did this, his ear that was beginning to heal stopped in that instant and as if a hole had been created the earring perfectly attached itself to his ear, yet the most surprising thing was he felt no pain whatsoever from having it placed back.

'Well, it looks fine,' Bernard thought.

Bernard had already expected this result before using his appraise skill on it, his body had slightly changed ever since he became a halfling.

Things that affect humans or symbiote users such as heat, cold, and toxins no longer affected him, it was the same with food. The only things that had managed to affect him so far, were sunlight which with the earring he would no longer be affected, and the garlic smell. Although the smell of garlic had no side effects on his body, but it made his nose burn like how a normal human would feel trying to inhale an acid.

Although the fact his nose was burning, didn't affect him drastically since as long as he did not get close to it he wouldn't be affected, compared to how the sun reacted on his body before, compared to the smell of garlic the effect of sunlight on his body was much greater than anything he had ever faced before and was like being kicked in the balls itself when you least expected it.

Just thinking about how the sun affected him before, Bernard felt his body become jittery he could still remember how his skin began to crack after being under the sun for six hours but he was still able to control himself just fine even if he was being affected by garlic. It was the same way a normal person would inhale the smell of a rotten egg mixed with a rotten rat, they would suddenly want to puke when they inhale it but could avoid it by not going close to it.
