Skills & Suckles.

"Finding" Seras was much less of a task than John had thought it would be - it seemed as if she had taken his directions to heart and headed almost straight north, until she ran into the outskirts of the forest. There, she had started to gather up any fallen or easily reachable branches. Already there was a very large pile growing, as Seras moved to and fro at high speeds. She was almost as fast as John, whereas John was starting to note that since his last few level-ups, the Nekos were seeming slower and slower.

"Ah, speaking of which…"

John pulled his character sheet up and absently clicked out of the few notifications he had received, glancing over them as they vanished.

John blinked a few times at that last one. His eyesight was fine, but it had never been perfect… until now. It was subtle, but, glancing up and down the lines of the forest, he could count more leaves and blades of grass than before, even making out details on distant hills that he couldn't before.

"I wonder how many possible improvements there are outside of stats…"

John focused his attention instead on the more tangible target of his leftover points. He still had four skill points he'd never bothered to use, too busy figuring out how to care for another living being for the first time in his life. Now, however, he had some time to kill. About twenty-four hours actually, and as much as he wished he could say otherwise, fucking, cooking, and sleeping was not a smart use of an entire day.

John clicked to his Skill Tree window and opened up the Elemental Control skill underneath it. Where the branch had been only a single spot with gray below, now there were two nodes extruding from where he chose the "Conjuration" skill. One was labeled "Volume", and the other was labeled "Multitasking". The Multitasking skill apparently allowed him to control two elements at once, while the Volume skill could take multiple points and increased the amount of an element he could control by 20% each level, stacking multiplicatively. John immediately dumped one point into Multitasking, and then his remaining three into the Volume skill, putting his total Volume multiplier at x1.728. That meant when he controlled two at once, he could control almost as much as he had been able to before when controlling only a single element!

John tried to fight back a wicked grin as he turned toward the pile of sticks. He moved as quickly as he could to take some of the many twigs and branches Seras had assembled and arrange them in a tipi formation, large enough to put off a good flame. Before long, while Seras continued to add to the pile beside him, John had fashioned a rough spit from two y-shaped branches and a particularly thick one that could hold the weight of some of the meat from the bat. He didn't have a way to clean it, so he just tried to pry off some of the loose bark and make sure there was no dirt on it before he pulled a chunk of meat from his inventory and stuck it on there. The meat was a dark red and dripped blood with a foul stench, but John hoped some of it would cook out… and that Maera and Mithra weren't too spoiled by the jerky from yesterday.

"Master, I- I still don't understand, where is this place?"

"This is my own little pocket world, Police Girl," John said, smirking. "You said the last thing you remembered was being bit, and that it turned you, but you don't remember who did it, correct?"

Seras nodded, staring at the ground thoughtfully, but John suspected it was just to avoid looking him in the eyes. Her hands were still placed solidly over her tits and pussy, covering up as much sensitive skin as she could.

"That's good. So you must know that the world has far more in it than the mundane you're familiar with. Vampires, werewolves, magic…"

To emphasize that last point, John flicked out his arm and summoned as much fire as he could. He was surprised when a burst of flame almost as large as the wood pile itself shot from his fingers, spraying across the bundle like a flamethrower. John tried to hide his surprise as he turned it off again, leaving the wood smoldering and the hints of a proper fire as the thinner parts and fringes of the branches continued to burn after the intense blaze faded.

"I-I suppose so. Will we be going back?"

"That reminds me," John mused, standing up while the fire continued to build slowly, grinning at Seras. "I'm going to cook their food for them, but you still need to keep up your strength."

"I- I shouldn't, though, I can't, I just-"

"Now, now. This is an order from your Master. Kneel."

John knew he wouldn't bleed for long, and didn't have anything particularly sharp anyway, so he had to use what was available. John brought his hand up and rubbed against Seras' cheek gently, before bringing his finger to her lips. They were soft, small, and pried apart with only a token resistance as he pressed his finger against them. John did his best to brace himself and not wince as he pushed his finger in, leveling the tip against one of her fangs and dragging it across with a jerking motion. Pain lanced his fingertip.

-1 HP!

John smirked at the damage as he pulled his finger out slightly to examine it. The flow was thin, but it was there. Not wanting to waste any of it, John held his finger directly in front of her lips again, but made no move to press it in.

"Now, drink."

Seras hesitated for a long moment, staring at John's finger as the blood continued to run down it. A crimson drop pooled at his fingertip, threatening to break free. Just as it started a downward motion Seras lunged forward, sticking out her tongue and catching the drop before it could fall. John took advantage of the situation, pressing his finger forward and into the soft, oddly smooth flesh of her tongue. Seras still seemed a little hesitant, but her tongue knew what to do, almost instinctively coiling around John's finger, suckling at every inch the blood attempted to drip down.

John's eyes drifted lustily to her fangs. If those weren't in the way, he'd have loved to see what she could really do with a tongue that flexible, but Seras seemed to be enjoying this far more. Though she was originally hesitant even under direct orders, now she had no reservations to speak of - Seras' eyes were glazed over with a ruby-red desire, and if she could gag, she would certainly have done so with how deeply and violently she thrust herself onto his finger.

"Seras… there's no more," John said after almost a full minute, his wound having healed a while ago, but enjoying the feeling of Seras prying every bit of blood she could from him. He gently rested his hand against her cheek again, as a window popped up above her head.

Bonus Objective Completed!

"You really don't eat much, do you?"

Seras didn't say anything immediately, her mouth only barely closing as she started to slowly find her way back to herself. John just chuckled and turned back to the flames. They were finally picking up, the short break to feed Seras now leaving him with a roaring fire. Mithra and Maera were napping in the shade nearby, so all he had was a near-comatose vampire for company. John didn't mind too much - trying to ignore his half-erect dick straining for Seras' mouth, John kept his focus on keeping enough wood on the pile to slowly cook the thick flesh.
