Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

There was one big sphere that worked as the server and hundreds of small cubes.

Alex had decided to name this product Awe System and Awe Cube because he wanted every creature to feel awe inside of it.

'This should work as a prototype for my soul game in the future.

I can also use them to experiment with my new cultivation method. They will even try hard to do it for more points.'

Exhaustion washed over his body since he had been too focused on his work, forgetting everything else.

The cube had to be in the same space as the server for the system to work.

He also needed to keep filling it with items and consumables and maintain it with qi and mana to ensure everything ran smoothly.

His stomach started rumbling in protest, prompting him to glance at the nearby fridge stocked with snacks.

But the moment he did, Alex's eyes bulged in shock. He felt like his heart was trying to bounce out of his ribcage.

"Mom??? What in the world are you doing here?? You almost turned me into a ghost," Alex exclaimed, clutching his chest.

Luca sat on the couch, sipping tea and playing around with the Storage cube.

Her eyes perked up, hearing Alex's surprised words.

"So you finally came back to your senses. I was just wondering how long you would be like that. You're really just like your father.

What am I doing here? Is it weird for a mom to look for her son after three days???"

After getting a call from the driver, Luca, still feeling worried, checked her son's schedule and the place he had gone before.

Luca usually didn't do this since she didn't want to be an intrusive mom. She knew her kids would hate her if she did that without any reason.

She then found out Alex had gone to Pandora's research facility, and this made her think of a few scenarios that could explain Alex's behavior, as the driver had described.

Compared to the driver, Luca knew the latest technology, so she suspected Alex might be getting a brain chip, with the worst scenario being that he had been experimented on.

Luca decided to ask Alex later when he got home, but after a day, her son was nowhere to be seen. This made her look for him at this place named Suzaku Genesis Complex, or SGE for short.

"What? Three days?"

Luca smiled and walked toward Alex, looking into his black eyes, "Are you hiding something from me?"

'His eyes seem to have a tinge of red,' Luca thought to herself, but this didn't worry her since there were many ways to change eye color without side effects.

Alex turned his gaze away, "Nothing important, Mom."

"Look me in the eye!" his mother said sternly.

Sweat started dripping down his forehead. 'Damn, I knew it; even facing real monsters is not as intense as this. Mom really is the final secret boss.'

Alex then tried to change the topic. "So, Mom, have you checked the cube?

It's good, right? I wasn't lying when I said we could bring our family to a new level."

Luca looked at the cube in her palm with a complicated gaze. She was amazed by it, but it also reminded her a lot of Edward.

It was similar in the past; she would accompany Edward by his side as he focused on his work, creating a wonder that then earned them a lot of money.

"I know you've met up with Emily lately and also about the guild."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Tell me honestly, Alex.

I know you don't think your dad is still alive, so why do you do that?

If it's just to procure artifacts or anything else, there are many other ways. And the name…"

Seeing her expression, Alex knew his mother was in turmoil.

Part of her wanted to move on already since it had been years without any news. But the other part still hoped that Edward was still alive.

Alex sighed. He still felt there was a 90% chance his father was dead, and even if he survived, what kind of situation was not allowing him to return back to his family?

He knew how much his father loved his mom.

"It's for Emily. You know she will return there no matter what," Alex replied.

Luca's eyes turned teary; she hugged Alex for a moment and then patted his head, "I cooked some food for you; it's on the table. Don't forget to have some lunch."

Then she left Alex alone.

Seeing his mom's lonely back made Alex's heart feel pierced with sharp pain.

"Vesa, what do you think? Is it possible my father is still alive?"

[If my speculation is correct, then it's possible, King.

Since a dungeon is just an entry to another world, with your father's ability, I suspect he either took the initiative to push into the dungeon and got captured by the species there.]

"You should have seen my memory. Based on the monster's appearance, do you know what species they are?"

Alex still remembered it clearly—the reptilian eyes, the gleaming scale that reflected the sun.

[They are half-dragons, or we call them lower dragons. When dragons mix with other humanoid species, they are the result of it.]

"Lower dragon?"

[The real dragon race is a prideful creature; they look down on most species.

Sometimes, as a result of experiments or a weird turn of events, these kinds of species are born.]

"That is not important. What will they do with the prisoner?"

[They adore strength. Usually, they use prisoners as slaves or as gladiators, making them fight in the arena.

If your father was captured, this is probably his fate.]

Considering his father and the guild's strength at that time, they should be able to survive. "What about the time difference in their world?"

Some dungeons had a time difference; some did not.

Alex didn't know which category that dungeon belonged to. If the dungeon had time dilation slower than Earth, this would raise the chance his father was still alive.

It had been years on his planet, but it could only have been a few months or even days in that world.

[One more thing, King, The Dragon race is one of our enemies.]
