The Twilight Gamer

Jack just gave Emmet a large grin at his words.

"I'm the big brother, however," Jack said as he looked at him.

"What do you mean you're the big brother, I'm old enough to be your great-grandfather," Emmet said as he laughed.

Jack just turned his head deciding it wasn't worth arguing with him over it, what Emmet had said was pure fact so fighting him about it would just be a losing battle.

"By the way, Carlisle called you down, he brought a vial of human blood to test you out," Emmet said, this time his tone was much more serious.

Jack turned back to face him and nodded, his eyes showing how seriously he took the situation.

"All right, I'll go downstairs then," Jack said as he nodded and got up from the floor.

"You will most likely be going into the forest since Jasper can't really control himself yet and might go feral over the blood, we don't really want that happening," Emmet said as he nodded and walked alongside Jack.

"Right, I'd assume the urge for human blood is much worse than that for Animal blood" Jack replied as he started getting nervous about the whole ordeal.

"It is," Emmet said, his voice had lost its cheery happy go lucky tone.

It seemed like this wasn't an easy discussion about Emmet either.

After arriving downstairs, Jack saw that the entire Cullens were gathered around, besides Jasper who had gone to his room.

"Hey, welcome back," Jack said as amiably as he could however even though he had tried to let go of what had happened and had succeeded mostly, it still wasn't easy to let go of the fact that they had killed him.

Emmet and Esme were much easier to forgive with how they acted, as for the others he still had quite a grudge but knew it was useless. That didn't mean he would forget the feelings easily, however.

That just wasn't how feelings worked, in fact, Jack had already done something beyond understanding by using his increased intelligence to mute them down as much as he could.

"Hey, Jack, I'm sure Emmet already told you what's happening," Carlisle said as he turned to face the young teen.

Alice simply gave him a wave and a smile together with Esme whilst Rosalie seemed to be ignoring him completely.

"Yeah, do we get started right away?" Jack asked as he looked at Carlisle seriously.

Carlisle nodded and then turned toward Esme.

"Esme will be coming with us if something does happen and you attack me because of the urge, I hope that doesn't bother you," Carlisle said before turning his head back toward Jack.

"No, that would be the logical thing to do. It doesn't bother me at all." Jack said as he nodded and stood still waiting for Carlisle to get up.

A nod from them later and Jack together with Esme and Carlisle were heading outside and into the forest.

Once they were more than a mile away from the mansion, Carlisle stopped running.

Jack and Esme stopped right behind him as well.

Carlisle didn't make much fanfare and immediately took a vial out of his pocket.

Jack's eyes immediately zoned into the vial, it seemed to have been hermetically shut however and no smell came out of it.

Still, the look of the red blood inside the vial was quite enticing even if he couldn't smell it.

It wasn't to the point where he would call it an urge but it was like looking at a juicy piece of perfectly cooked steak right in front of him.

Even if you saw it through a TV, and didn't smell the food you would still think it was tasty, that was exactly what was happening with Jack.

'This might be quite harder than the animal blood' Jack thought as he concentrated his mind on not letting any feelings or emotions slip past.

"Are you ready?" Carlisle asked as he looked at Jack.

Jack gave a slow nod and waited.

*Kap*

The vial cap made a noise as it was pulled off and Jack could instantly smell it.

And then it hit him, an unbearable urge to go and grab the vial of Carlisle, to grab it and gulp its contents down instantly.

Still, Jack didn't move, he couldn't move or even take a step away from it either, however.

He was frozen on the spot.

He felt that if he tried anything besides concentrating his mind then he would slip and let his urges take over.

[ Intelligence Check ]

[ Intelligence Required 10 ]

[ Intelligence Check Passed ]

[ Human Blood Urge has been suppressed ]

And then it was gone.

The Urge to go and drink the blood had vanished instantly just like it had when he was holding the animal blood.

Jack's body almost slumped as he relaxed.

Esme and Carlisle's eyes widened as they looked at him.

Even they had to concentrate a little to hold the urge back, even though it was almost instinct by this point but this was Jack's first time as a vampire seeing human blood.

The logical reaction should have been him jumping on top of Carlisle trying to steal the vial of blood.

But that hadn't happened, at first, Jack had looked like he was about to lose control any second but then it had all vanished as if it hadn't even been there.

"How?" Carlisle asked, his voice clearly carrying his shock as he looked at Jack.

"It's my ability," Jack said as he shrugged his shoulders and looked at Carlisle, he didn't even have the urge to look at the blood anymore.

'It still looks like a delicious meal but it's not something I can't control.' Jack thought.

"So do I pass the test?" Jack said as he looked at Carlisle.

Carlisle didn't reply for a moment before he slowly nodded his head.

"Yes, if you can control yourself like this then you have already surpassed almost every vampire in existence, it looks as if you aren't even trying," Carlisle said and then took the cap and closed the vial once more.

"Do we need to do this every day for the next week to make sure still?" Jack asked as he looked at Carlisle.

Carlisle nodded and responded.

"That would be preferable and I told the school that you were quite sick so it would be better if you took this week off otherwise it would look quite strange," Carlisle said as he nodded.

Esme who had stood silent until now finally spoke up.

"Why do you find staying at the house that irksome?" She said and her voice sounded concerned.

Jack turned to face her and shook his head.

"No, it's fine."

I'll slowly be incorporating quests and other aspects of the system as the chapters go by until he fully unlocks every part of it.

The reason that he needed 10 for human blood was the fact that besides him no one can truly say they have suppressed the urge, even Carlisle whos been controlling himself for hundreds of years.
