500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

After everyone was done eating, the cake was brought out, and I cut everyone a piece of it.

Even though Breya and I had a spat, I did give her the biggest piece and served her first.

While she might have failed at what I wanted Breya to do at the end of the day, that didn\'t cancel out all the rest. She had taken care of Claire and did well until I put her in a tough spot, and I had promised her the cake before this.

"How did you make it so fluffy?! It\'s like an edible sponge, and the icing is like nothing I have ever tried! It\'s so smooth!" Breya sang and then shoved another piece into her mouth.

"This is really different from anything that I have ever tried! You are an excellent cook, Galio!" Eliza said, smiling up at me; I wiped some icing off her face with my thumb, and she licked it off.

"This is a pretty simple recipe but makes for a really nice cake. You can do more things with it, like a Black Forest Trifle. Now, that is something to die for!" I laughed, and Breya let out a long sigh.

"I am glad that you were lying about that. I couldn\'t handle hearing about a cake actually worth dying for," Breya giggled and popped another piece of cake in her mouth.

"What about you girls? Seraphina? Asha? How is the cake?" I asked, and both girls nodded.

"Really good," Asha said.

"I am having difficulty understanding how it can be made so amazing. That sponginess is just wonderful with the icing!" Seraphina exclaimed with a smile.

"I didn\'t see you two eat. Do I need to get you some blood? Can I just give you some of mine?" I asked, then added, "It shouldn\'t hurt you."

I was sure that I was immune to Vampirism and every other disease, but I wasn\'t sure if my blood would be good to give them. Knowledge of my Karma System appeared, and I had almost forgotten about it.

"I don\'t think that is a good idea," Breya said, but I raised a hand.

"I am resistant to Vampirism. Couldn\'t make me a Vampire even if they wanted to!" I laughed.

"Are you sure? I mean, you cured Sera, and Asha is a daywalker, so even if it does, you will be fine in the light. The problem is that you will be giving yourself over to the Origin," Eliza warned, and Breya and Claire nodded.

I kissed Eliza, lifted her off my lap, and stood up, walking over to the girl. I motioned for them to move over so I could sit between them.

"I can each take an arm, but I will give you a lot of magic mixed into my blood. Do not use it until I tell you, then cast something like fire or wind that won\'t hurt us into the air," I explained.

"Wait, why do you act like you know what you are talking about?!" Seraphina asked in shock, and Breya groaned.

"Because he does know what he is talking about. As much as I think this is stupid and not a good idea, he is actually resistant to Vampirism; that was the truth. I don\'t know how that is possible, so whatever he wants, you should do," Breya said, and Seraphina gulped down her spit.

"Why do you want to give us magic with the blood?" Asha asked.

"I am going to try and burn out the link that lets the Origin control you. This would have been a sacred ritual performed for an Origin to be named, but this time it wasn\'t because Tessera only drank the last Origins blood, right Breya?" I asked, and Breya nodded.

"I don\'t know about the ritual, but I know that she drank the blood," Breya said as knowledge of Vampires flooded my mind.

"If she only drank, then she had to use magic to perform the ritual herself, so I will burn it out," I said and nodded to the Vampires.

Asha didn\'t hesitate, and I groaned as her teeth sunk into my wrist, but I was already pulling magic inside of me. She started to glow and was going to pull away, but I put a hand on the back of her head.

"Good girl. Don\'t stop; you are going to need more than that. Keep sucking, and let my juices flow down your throat," I said softly, petting her hair as Asha kept drinking, but something started to happen.

Asha\'s teeth started to pull out of my skin slowly, and my arm started to heal as they did, but she hadn\'t pulled her mouth away. Soon, my arm had healed entirely, and Asha pulled back, but she looked… Pink?

"What happened?" Asha asked as she felt her perfectly smooth and regular teeth.

"Holy shit!" Breya swore, almost tipping off the couch, but then she got up and rushed over to grab her by the face.

I was going to stop her, but I waited.

Breya leaned in and took a deep breath, sniffing Asha, and then kissed her forehead.

"Welcome back to the land of the living, child," Breya said and then hugged her.

"Did you really just cure Vampirism with your blood?!" Eliza exclaimed, but I was a bit busy at the moment with the Text screen that just popped into my view.

"Give me a minute, something just popped up, and I need to go deal with this," I said as I stood up, but Seraphina grabbed my arm.

"What about me?!" Seraphina asked with tears in her eyes.

"I promise that I will be right back. I can\'t really explain, but I need some time alone right now," I said, and Seraphina let go of my hand and wiped her eyes.

"Is there something wrong, Galio?" Eliza asked with a worried look.

"No, I just need a minute alone to process this," I lied, and Breya snapped around to stare at me, and I turned and left, glaring at the text.
