Fate carefully took each step one at a time. She made her way over to Mike, who was currently inspecting the plasma cannon. “Hmm… Those Federation bastards really shot her up.”

“Can you fix it?” Fate looked at the massive cannon that was many times the size of her with great interest. She wondered if humanity had such a weapon in her past life if they could have defeated those damn robots or not.

“It will be tough to fix the outer shell, but I think I can at least make it work once more. The outer shell will need replacement which will cost a few thousand credits. Luckily we should have enough in our cargo bay to do all our repairs as long as those bastards at the Gallows Doc do not try to rip us off.” Mike felt bitter without their old boss around. They just might get ripped off unless their new boss can show them her power. In this era where strength was right, only those who had the strength could stand at the top and make the rules.

“Hmmm… They wish to rip off my people?” Fate’s eyes turned cold. Since she decided to be these three idiots’ boss, she would not let others look down on them. She also knew she needed to make sure she did not piss off anyone who was stronger than her. So she would need to test the waters to see how strong a person was.

Mike felt warmth blooming in his heart when he heard Fate call him and the other two her people. Only if he knew that she considered all three of them idiots, but then again, many would think of them as idiots as the girl they considered their boss literally ate their former comrades. “When the time comes, I hope Boss can assist with negotiations.”

“I will do what I can, but before we land, you need to go over the normal prices, so I can try to go lower. But before all that, I need clothes. I do not want to go to a deal wearing baggy clothing.” Fate was worried that she would be showing everyone her breasts if she leaned over the wrong way. She did not care if people saw her naked if she had no other choice, but she, for one, did not want to show others her body if she did not have to. She was not someone who sold her body after all.

“R-Right. Don’t worry. We can go cloth shopping first and make sure you have a few slaves to feed off of before we do deal with anything like that.” Mike was not dumb. He knew his boss's needs needed to come first. The one thing he feared was becoming her dinner.

“Mmm… While you work, I will go look at the sights.” Fate walked past Mike and attached her hook onto another rail, and made her way towards the front of the ship. She found a spot just above the bridge and sat down, and looked at the blazing sun in front of her. “It is truly beautiful.”

“It is. When we have downtime, we like coming out to areas like this to see the majesty of space. It reminds us just how small we are. Although we are part of a community that was able to harness the powers of stars and black holes, we are still insignificant compared to the sheer size of the universe.” Mike also felt the same as Fate every time he looked at the stars and other sights during his travels. It was one of the reasons he loved working on a ship. 

Fate leaned back and looked up at the dark sky that showed the stars of the galaxy they were in. She truly felt small compared to the vastness of space. “I will live this new life to its fullest.”

“What was that?” Mike asked. He could not clearly hear Fate’s mumble.

“Nothing…” 

After her spacewalk, Fate decided to head off to her room. She closed the door and locked it before stripping down to her boxers before walking over to the big window and looking out it. “This kind of life I can get used to…”

She stretched her arms and walked over to the closet, and pulled out a fresh set of sheets. “I will first change the bedding.” 

Fate did not wish to sleep in the same sheets and blankets the old boss slept in, so she tossed them to the side and put on a new set. Only when she was done did she crawl up on the bed and lay down. Her hand ventured down between her legs and under her boxers. Her finger found her little button causing her to bite her lower lip and whimper. “This body… Why is it so sensitive… Ahh~!”

Fate’s hips rose up off the bed as her finger worked her pussy. Her other hand was massaging one of her little mounds on her chest as she felt herself reaching her climax. Her fingers worked her pussy faster and faster until finally, she let out a loud moan as her toes curled up and her pussy convulsed, flooding her hand with her juices. She pulled her hand out of her boxers, letting the juices run down her arm before lapping them up with her tongue. “That felt good…” 

Feeling much more relaxed than before, Fate leaned back on her pillow and opened her menu. She now had some time to look things over. “Let’s see… I have sixteen skills… and two passive skills. This one, though… Your Hunger Grows… It says… As a vampire, you must drink blood to satisfy your hunger. Hunger is consumed gradually overtime at one point per hour. Once you reach below twenty hunger, you will be thrown into a blood frenzy where you will not be able to control yourself any longer and will feed on friend or foe. Only when your hunger is satisfied will you regain control of your body.”

Fate thought for a moment before realizing something. “So that was what happened to me earlier. Let’s see. Hunger… Hunger… Ah here. The tooltip says that hunger will drop as your health regenerates. Meaning if I get damaged, the hunger state will be used to replenish any lost health. Currently, my hunger is at 93 out of 100. It has been around seven hours since I last drank blood, so my guess is this is the reason why I lost seven points. As long as I do not get hurt, I should be fine to make it until we get to buy some slaves. I will use the ugly male slaves as a blood bank while my cute female slaves will tend to me… Hehe… Suddenly I feel like a queen… as for skills… It seems some use mana points while others use blood which reduced my hunger even more. Strange shadow control, shadow step, and shadow fade do not require any consumption at all. This… Is good to know…”
