22 Chapter 22 – Two Souls in One Body Part 2

Merlin looked at me surprised by my answer, but something told me that he was already waiting for it.

-     Don't bother rejecting so quickly. There are advantages for you on my side.

Now it was my turn to be perplexed. There was nothing this soul fragment could help me with.

-     Wrong. There are many things I can do for you and one is by helping you hide that you are a vampire. You should know the entry requirements for the academy or the adventurer's guild. Truth?

My mind quickly traveled to memories of the game and Merlin. To register as an adventurer, one had to be analyzed by a magical device that would issue a card containing the name and race data. It will then be checked by the receptionist and handed over to the novice adventurer.

As for academia, the same scenario occurs. Only races affiliated with the human side such as elves, dwarves, and beastmen will be allowed to enter these sites. I immediately understood what he meant by concealment.

I couldn't hide my race in both cases since that device was analyzing me directly. If I don't attend the academy, I could lose my noble title. That would be bad. The difference between nobleman and commoner was too great, and the discrimination was even greater.

-     It's impossible to hide my status. How do you plan to do it?

This question was legitimate. Those devices were taking my data directly from the system or that was in the game.

-     You're a vampire, but I'm not.

-     What do you mean?

-     Easy. In this space you can still use the use of the system since we are inside your mind. Why don't you use evaluate and confirm it?

Just out of doubt I used to evaluate on it.

His condition was identical to mine. The only thing that was different was my race and class, which I didn't have. Seeing my surprised face, Merlin continued.

-     We are two people within one body. When the magic tool analyzes you, I'll only have to show my status and not yours. Not only that. You also saw that I have a class, but you don't. If you accept my terms, I will fully join you and you will be able to get two classes instead of just one. You know how important it would be to have two main classes. This also applies to your two high school classes.

His talk had given me a headache. The benefits were much higher than the price to pay. Even though that frustrated me more, I didn't want to stop playing with women the way I wanted.

-     I'm not asking you to stop playing with women however you want. All I ask is that you don't throw them away when they're no longer fun and treat them like your partners instead of toys. After all, my only wish in life was to be loved by someone.

I frowned, still skeptical.

-     You can still treat the people who offended you however you want. I'm just telling you not to treat badly the women you decide to make your toys, personal slaves, lovers, wives, concubines, etc. You can play badass as well. You know, bondage and stuff as long as they're okay.

At his last request, I couldn't help but get angry. However, I decided to negotiate a bit.

-     The latter is out of the question. I want to play the way I want. However, I can promise you that I won't throw them away. That's ok? It's all I can offer. As for whether I choose to treat them as lovers or something else, it must develop naturally, and I don't want your intervention.

Seeing that this was the only thing I could get from my Merlin, he nodded. Then he held out his hand as a sign of dealing. When our hands met, my whole surroundings changed instantly.

My arms felt heavy and my eyes were fixed on the ceiling of my room. Apparently, I returned to the real world.
