SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Your wife is going to divorce you!

Damon let out a sigh as he watched his family emerge from the sacred waters, radiating energy and newfound strength.

His father was flexing his arms, cracking his neck like an old warrior who’d just remembered how it felt to be twenty again. "I feel like I could bench press a bear," he said with a proud grin.

His mother gave him a disapproving look, but her smile softened it. "You look ridiculous."

His brother looked more grounded than Damon had ever seen him. He was still quiet, but there was a focus in his eyes now, a stillness that hadn’t been there before. When he glanced at Damon, he gave a simple nod, an acknowledgment between siblings, free of words.

And then there was Georgina. She walked out like a queen emerging from a throne room, as if she had unlocked some sort of secret hidden power.

Damon didn’t care. If she really did unlock something like that, then good for her and good for him. At least he wouldn’t have to worry about his brother and his niece in the new world.

Finally, the little girl bounded up the slope, dripping with lakewater and pure joy. "Uncle! Uncle!" she shouted. "It felt tickly! And warm! And sparkly! Can we do it again?"

Damon knelt down and wiped a few flower petals from her cheeks. "Not until you’re older, munchkin. Come, let’s first get out of here and then talk about things."

Damon led the group to the training hall in the city, where they could talk to individual class instructors and obtain better options for classes.

The Vermillion City training hall was nestled within a large, circular plaza adorned with runic statues and glowing trees. A towering spire stood at the center, with smaller buildings surrounding it, each one tailored to a specific combat or magical discipline.

Damon motioned for them to split up. "Why don’t you guys go ahead and go to the class hall you want? It doesn’t matter what class you want to pick. Your awakening will help you make better choices."

Seeing some still hesitant, especially his mother and brother, Damon once again urged them. "It’s okay. It really doesn’t matter what class you choose. Any class could become powerful. Just do whatever you want."

Thanks to his extensive knowledge of the game, Damon was confident he would be able to help them out no matter what path they took. Unlike the popular opinion that once you commit to a path, your game life is set, Earth Online was very different in reality. There were plenty of second chances if one knew where to look for them.

Damon did not want to force his family members to select certain paths that would inevitably become superior to others. He wanted them to follow their will. In the end, there was always something to be said about playing the class that you like and are passionate about.

And just as he expected, his mother did not go towards any of the big class halls. Instead, she walked to the cooking profession hall.

Damon couldn’t help the soft chuckle that escaped him.

Of course, she’d choose cooking.

She had spent her whole life feeding the family, finding comfort in simmering pots and feeding stubborn mouths. It made sense that she would want to turn that into a strength.

His dad, on the other hand, predictably stomped straight toward the Beast Tamer hall. It looked like he was hell bent on chasing his dream of taming a dragon.

His brother lingered, still not picking any option and simply wandering about here and there as if he couldn’t make up his mind.

Georgina, however, walked straight to the witches and wizard class hall. After some time, Damon noticed that his brother had also disappeared somewhere.

Only he and the little girl were left now. "Uncle! What will I do now? I also want to pick a class and level up like everyone?" Lola pouted.

"No. No. No. No." Damon sternly shook his head. "You will be attending an academy. Got it? No matter what your mother tells you to do, this is what you should be doing. Trust your uncle."

Lola nodded. "Academy... isn’t that like school?"
