Vampire Summoner's Rebirth: Summoning The Vampire Queen At The Start

-----

So without even wanting to, I had become a hybrid between humans and an alien race of sentient rocks with electric energy inside. It was intriguing how things came to be, although the Neutonium Core inside of me is also different and modified.

"You must already know about the core modifications, right?" I asked her. "Of the energy inside…"

"A derived energy from a Neutonium Core Ability," she nodded. "I know, it is a very strange essence I had never seen before of supernatural origins. It is amazing by itself that you had been able to manifest these abilities within the cores you're connected to. But I had investigated my own capabilities as well, or well, our own capabilities. And alongside the humans, we've discovered our internal energies can bring fictional-like results, things that can even alter the laws of physics due to the concentration of unstable protons and other molecules within our electromagnetic energies, which distort the fabric of space and the primordial molecules."

"A-Ah…" I muttered. "So that's your explanation towards the "supernatural" abilities you possess? Well, to tell you the truth, magic and everything else also exists. Your race might be magical, but you never realized."

"Magic? Magical?" she muttered. "Like in the Virtual Reality game Sage Sword Saga Online?"

"Ah… uh, yeah," I nodded. "There is magic in this universe, and it part of one of the fundamental laws of existence, just like there's demons, magicians, monsters, and more all across the universe. But the universe is too vast, areas that aren't connected yet remain isolated. Magic sometimes originates from certain planets, certain tribes. Yours is unique, born with magic power innate to you. Perhaps some sort of Reality Magic."

"Reality… Magic?" she asked intrigued.

"Yeah, the power to alter Reality in one way or another, usually very limited," I said. "I can tell why even the Xenoids desired you… Your kind is incredible. Capable of materializing power out of nothing and powers that defy logic easily. It seems that also emotions from pilots of machines you are connected to can affect your powers and improve them, that's part of Emotion Magic."

"Emotion…" she muttered. "Hm… Now that I think about it, my very existence right now, this manifestation, it's not completely feasible scientifically, isn't it?"

"It's magic indeed," I nodded. "But a very complicated one, and you're smart enough to even manage to find the actual reasons behind even magic. At the end of the day, magic, or well, their derived supernatural energies, are merely other particles that can alter different elements much faster an in different ways. Ultimately, they might also be chemical responses."

"Ooh…" she nodded. "A whole world I had never imagined… you've enlightened me, Child of Ether. Your very existence is very unique as well, and so your powers. It feels odd, however. How they are… and how do you know so much, despite being a mere pilot."

"Right? I know you have also figured that out already, right?" I asked her. "I felt your presence within my mind so you were able to glance at my thoughts and knowledge for a split second, enough for your accelerated mind to calculate a lot of things."

"…Indeed," she said nonchalantly and expressionlessly as always. "But I am still rather confused about this… Are we experiencing reality right now?"

"To me and you, this is indeed reality," I nodded. "However I came here may ultimately not matter at all. I hope you understand."

"It's fine," she nodded without much problem. "Well, as I was saying before. As someone that has become a hybrid of my kind and humans, you're very unique. I call you the Child of Ether because that is the name we've given to our tribe, the Ether. And so, because of this, I was able to implant myself into you. Now there's two more of my soul fragments left…"

"I see…" I nodded. "But can't you go back to your main body?"

"I could if I had my complete form," she said. "Then, I could probably try to help you fight the Xenoids. Is that a good exchange?"

"Yes it's good," I nodded. "You named a Xenoid Mother, so they're a colony led by a Queen?"

"Yes the Queen," she nodded. "Our kind encountered her thousands of years ago. She is the size of a small planet, their original planet, which she had turned into a fleshy landscape where the Xenoids are born and raised. I don't know if she'll come here personally to defeat you humans… but there's clearly a great obsession they have against your kind. Perhaps it is also our fault, as we're part of the very technology you use to fight them."

"Indeed, that might be a possibility," I nodded. "Any clue where the other parts of your soul are located?"

"Yeah… they're both within the same old game you visited before," she said. "Machine Warrior Battle Arena is the oldest virtual reality game built upon the history of Earth's past. It is an active world full of life-like Artificial Intelligences. And it could even help you investigate the past of humans before they began traveling through the stars."

"It could help us investigate and see more than that I believe," I said. "But I wonder, can you make it possible for what's there to influence the world outside physically?"

"I could…" she nodded out of nowhere.

"So just as I imagined," I nodded.

"Eh?"

"Wait what?!"

Eleanora and Hendrick reacted differently though.

"H-How is that possible?" Eleanora asked. "Isn't that world virtual?"

"Yes a Virtual Matrix formed from my own soul and consciousness," said the girl. "However, through the powers of a Neutonium Core, it could be possible to manifest what's Virtual into a physical form with enough energy. Maybe, it's only hypothetical though."

"It's worth giving it a try!" I said. "It could benefit my Machine Warrior if I could bring the fantastical objects and materials from the Virtual Matrix… We'll experiment tomorrow. For now, I should definitely go to sleep already."

"I agree… may I go to sleep too?" she asked.

"Sure." I nodded.

She quickly returned to my Neutronium Core, sleeping instantly.

Eleanora and Hendrick remained around for a moment, as they spent their time idly while I finally rested.

Tomorrow was going to be another busy day… and the fourth day out of seven.
