Daily Rewards! Transmigrating into a novel as a side-character!

Inside, a boy about my age stood, his posture stiff, clearly nervous. His auburn hair was damp with sweat, on the table between us lay his student card.

"You're here for the spear," I said casually, taking the seat opposite him.

"Yes," he replied quickly, eyes darting toward the storage ring on my finger. "I…I heard you listed it, and I wanted to purchase before anyone else could."

I studied him for a moment. His eagerness confirmed my suspicion—this wasn't a luxury for him, it was desperation.

"100,000 points," I said firmly.

His face paled. "T-that's… that's my monthly allowance."

I leaned back, expression unreadable. "Then perhaps it isn't for you."

Panic flickered in his eyes. "Wait! I... I need it. Please. I'll pay. But I've used some of my points already. I only have 99,250. Is that acceptable?"

I sighed, before saying. "Fine. 99,000 it is. I will leave you with 250 points, you need them to survive."

"T-thank you Lord Blackwood. Your generosity knows no bounds." Relief flooded his features as I withdrew the Enhanced-rank spear from my storage ring and placed it on the table. The weapon gleamed with subtle magical energy, its craftsmanship clearly superior to standard academy equipment.

The boy's breath caught when he saw it. He reached out reverently, hands shaking as he grasped the weapon.

"Use it wisely, and don't flaunt it around too much. Otherwise, other students might try to rob you when you venture outside the academy grounds."

He looked up, startled by the advice, then nodded quickly. "Thank you, Lord Blackwood."

The student activated his card's transfer function, and I felt the familiar chime as the points were added to my account. The academy's student cards were sophisticated enough to handle such exchanges seamlessly.

After completing the transaction, I checked my total points balance: 299,250.

I hadn't spent a single point during my stay in the academy. Unlike students that used these points to eat inside the academy, and buy other essentials. I kept my points for my plans.

I was certainly among the wealthiest students in the academy now. I didn't particularly care that the buyer had almost exhausted his points, it was his choice to purchase the spear, and I had done him a favour.

A discount of nearly 100,000 points was no small thing. Whilst enhanced items cost from 150,000 to 200,000 points. The spear that came from my reward system was no ordinary one, it was certainly at the peak of its rank, nearing the 200,000 points cost.

After selling the item, I made my way back to my dormitory before my next class.

Inside my room, I settled onto the couch and drank several vials of blood to quench my thirst. Then I activated my communication crystal to call my father and check on Kael's progress.

"Adrian," my father's voice came through clearly. "Perfect timing. I was just thinking about updating you on the boy's development."

"How is he adapting?" I asked.

"Better than expected, honestly. His improvement rate is even faster than yours was at his age," my father replied with obvious approval. "He accepted the training regimen without complaint and has integrated well with the other guards during group sessions."

"And his bloodline training?"

"That's where he truly shines. After the regular training with the guards, I've been working with him privately in our secured training room to focus specifically on his ice manipulation. His improvements are remarkable - I've taught him fundamental mana control techniques and basic combat."

My father paused before continuing. "He's still not at an advanced level, naturally, but his progress is rapid. Within a week, he should have solid control over his aim and basic ice techniques, along with the foundational skills necessary to become a capable fighter."

"Any behavioural issues?" I asked, remembering Kael's traumatic background.

"None whatsoever. He's disciplined, focused, and eager to improve. Whatever happened to him before you found him, it seems to have given him strong motivation to grow stronger."

"Good. That's exactly what I hoped to hear. Thank you, father."

"No problem, he also asks about you occasionally. He seems grateful for the opportunity you've provided him."

A smile formed on my face. Everything was proceeding according to plan.

After talking to my father, and mother for some time, I ended the call to practise.

I wasn't going to hunt today, instead I wanted to focus on increasing the level of my traits.

[Host: Adrian Blackwood]

[Bloodline: Supreme Vampire - 20%]

[Rank: Elite]

[Traits: Blood Control (2nd Order, Lvl.3), Supernatural Physique (1st Order, Lvl.3), Blood Enhancement(1st Order, Lvl.1), Blood Trail (2nd Order, Lvl.1)]

[Aspect: Serpent Scales(Elite), Silent Predator (Elite)]

[Echo: Stone Armor(Transcendent)]

As it stood now, my current weakest was {Blood Enhancement} and {Blood Trail}. Blood enhancement was really useful as it strengthened items. This was crucial to my strength because of many reasons, the first was obvious, having a stronger item was always a good thing, secondly was the fact that strengthening the item would allow it to last much longer.

There would no need for constant refinements and work on the item as the {Blood Enhancement} would lower the effect my use had on the items durability.

Checking the time, I found that there was still some time left before class. So, I headed took out my razor edge sword and started to enhance it with my {Blood Enhancement} trait.

Of course, I couldn't just enhance the skill without any blood, so I took out a vial from my storage ring and started to use the blood inside to enhance the sword.

I didn't swing the sword. There was no need to, the skill was only based on using the enhancement itself, it had nothing to do with actually using the item that was enhanced.

I experimented on various items in my storage ring. After enhancing my sword and keeping the enhancement on until it ran out, I moved to another item, testing the possible drawbacks that the trait had.

After half an hour of experimenting, I found two drawbacks.
