" Thankyou for all your help here today, brother ". Max said with an embarrassed expression on his face.

Rudra stood in silence for a moment with his hands resting firmly over Max's shoulders and said nothing.

Rudra wanted to offer words of comfort to Max, give him advice on how to really use his reincarnation cheat to maximum advantage, and how to not bite off more than he could chew, but he said nothing.

Since Max had not come forward with his reincarnation to Rudra, Rudra did not want to force it off Max either. Afterall even till this day nobody but Ethan Grey knew that Rudra was a reincarnator himself.

Finally, Rudra said with a heavy voice " Max, I don't want to lecture you on how to live your life, you are a grown man now and can make your own choices.

But the way I understood your situation, even if the Saint Maximus Clan will not hunt you, the other vampire clans will not tolerate your existence or your ability.

Sam is convinced that if news of your powers ever leak, Regus Aurelius will personally hunt you down.

Oddly, the Saint Maximus Clan is your Ally here, because as much as they want to imprison and experiment on you, they also don't want you to die because of some odd obsession, but the other clans will not be so benevolent.

If things go south, you always have Earth to fall back to and call home. However, big brother will not always be around and it's wiser to conceal your powers than to parade with them.

Go to the academy, learn everything, grow stronger, but keep your powers low-key. The lesser that people know about your true prowess the better.

Trust me when I tell you this Max, only idiots reveal all their cards before the fight starts.

In this universe, pride and honor means absolutely nothing. The only thing that matters is power. So swallow the bitter pill when you have to and just keep your head down and work ".

Max nodded, he took his brother's words to heart. He did not wish to reveal all his cards to his opponents like an idiot.

Rudra smiled as he retrieved an item from his inventory, giving Max a concealer mask.

[ Concealers Mask ] ( Epic ) - A mass that will help you assume a fake name and identity as well as conceal all attempts to probe into your stats and identity below tier 4.

Rudra said " In my early gaming days, I too had to put on a mask and assume a fake name.

This is the same item I used back in my Omega days, I hope it serves you well ".

Max accepted Rudra's gift as he bowed deeply to his brother. Max was a little surprised to know that a powerful warrior like his brother had to hide his identity in Omega, however, it just served as a reminder for him that even his brother had to swallow the bitter pill once upon a time to allow himself to grow into the powerhouse that he was now.

Putting the mask onto his face, Max bound the item to himself.

[ System Notification ] - You have equipped a concealer mask. Please choose your new Display Name.

Max chose the name ' Ravan'.

[ System Notification ] - Display name has been set to ' Ravan '.

Rudra hugged his brother one last time before leaving the planet with the other Elites, leaving Max behind.

Max was a little sad to see Rudra leave, however, his mourning was interrupted by Severus.

Severus said " I'm sure your brother already told you, but let me explain to you in detail the amount of danger you are in.

There is an ancient prophecy in the Vampire race, passed down from generation to generation of vampires.

A tale as old as time, and it goes like this.

' When the Universe is thrown into chaos, and darkness raises its head.

Rivers of blood shall flow, A defiant vampire shall raise his head.

Overthrowing the old order, He shall claim the throne.

The blood shall be his weapon, his boon and curse as well.

The blood manipulator will be his name, and primordial vampire shall be his race.

His destiny shall be great, but his reign shall be not.

His choices shall bring misery, to everyone but himself '.

It's a prophecy that paints blood manipulators as very dangerous individuals and every Tom, Dick , Harry and 2 year olds know this ancient prophecy by heart.

Us Saint Maximus, we don't believe in this version of the ancient prophecy and the version that we are taught has everything exactly the same but the last verse is a bit different.

In our version, the primordial vampire is a hero of the race who shall bring prosperity and peace. But I can confirm that we are the only clan who believe in that version of the prophecy and the one adopted by king Regus Aurelius and the rest of the vampire community paints the primordial vampire as a villain.

Now after knowing this, imagine the chaos that the universe would be thrown into when it is revealed that a blood manipulator who is from the primordial vampire race roams the universe freely.

You will be hunted relentlessly by your own race members and especially the king, who will do anything and everything in his power to see that your life ends.

So, be careful at the university Max, although I will keep an eye on you, you will also need to stay on your toes and be aware".

A bombshell was dropped on Max in the form of the vampiric prophecy. The ancient prophecy which clearly mentioned blood manipulators and primordial vampires suggested that Max was a prime candidate for being the one who was destined to fulfill it.

Coupling with the goal that Hazriel had shown him which was to take the vampire king's throne, it was clear that destiny had a tough road planned ahead for him.
