Chapter 4: Vitaldrain
The moment he felt it enter his body, Nick instinctively knew what it was. He didn’t understand how it worked, but he knew that this mysterious force came as a result of his Soul Ability.
Vitaldrain, that was the name of his ability, and thanks to the Beast Domain’s annoying aspect of not providing any descriptions of people’s Soul abilities, people were left to figure things out themselves.
Ever since he first received it after coming to this place only a few weeks ago, Nick was convinced that his Soul Ability was utterly useless.
The name itself didn’t really give anything away about its abilities, but with his limited knowledge all he knew was that it had something to do with health, and ’drain’ didn’t really sound all too in his favour either.
At first, he assumed that this ’draining of health’ was something that would affect him.
But now...
’Does my ability let me... steal the life force of enemies I kill?’
His theory only confirmed itself when he felt his body gradually begin to recover from his most minor injuries. Although it was slow, he could even see the minor cuts and bruises he had sustained gradually start to disappear.
But his head was still full of unanswered questions.
Why now? Why had his ability only decided to show itself now? And not after he managed his first kill on a Mundane White Ox.
Perhaps they were simply too weak for him to notice any life force enter his body?
