Vampire Progenitor System-Chapter 116: The Summit 1

Days Later

The Day of the Summit – Geneva, Switzerland

The wind in Geneva carried a weight it hadn’t held in centuries. It was crisp, sharp, cutting through the city like a warning. A reminder. The world had changed—and today would decide what that meant.

The summit was set in a specially reconstructed glass-domed facility on the outskirts of the city. What was once a neutral meeting ground for economic negotiations had now become the center of global attention.

Security was tight. Troops surrounded the building in layered formations. Helicopters hovered. Snipers were stationed on rooftops—not out of aggression, but preparation.

Inside, the hall was massive. Cold white lights hung overhead, dimmed just enough not to glare off the polished floors. Rows of chairs circled a wide center table shaped like a broken ring—symbolic, maybe. Of something trying to reconnect.

Humans filled the room first.

Every country had sent someone. Prime ministers, presidents, generals, ambassadors, researchers. Their faces were tense. No one smiled. This wasn’t diplomacy. This was survival.

The chair of the summit—President Malakov—stood first.

He looked older than he had a month ago. Lines carved deeper into his face. The weight of the world had never been more literal.

"We are gathered today not in fear... but in consequence."

The hall quieted.

"The supernatural is no longer fiction. No longer whispers behind old stories. They exist. They walk beside us. Have for longer than we know."

A monitor above lit up. Footage from the past weeks played—

Red lightning. Cities shaking. Creatures of fog. Then witches flying through smoke. Vampires shielding civilians. Kitsunes blinking through fire. Werewolves roaring against shadows.

Some in the audience flinched. Others narrowed their eyes.

"The question is not ’if’ they are real," Malakov continued. "The question is: what now?"

He stepped aside.

A delegate from France stood. Voice stern.

"We should begin global registration. Every supernatural individual must be identified, documented, and tracked."

The German chancellor spoke up next.

"That’s impossible. We barely understand how many of them exist, let alone how to control them."

"We don’t need to control," said the American Secretary of Defense. "We need containment. Separate zones. Areas where their kind stay away from ours."

That caused ripples of disagreement. The South African president raised her hand.

"And what happens when the next threat arrives? When the next tear opens? Who do we turn to then—if we drive them all into cages?"

"We can’t rely on monsters to protect us," muttered someone from the Japanese council.

"They’re not all monsters," said a younger voice—one of the youth delegates from India. "Some of them fought harder than any of us."

The debate grew louder. More fragmented. Accusations flew across the room like slow-burning embers.

Some called for peace. Others called for control. Some wanted understanding. Others wanted distance.

And all of them... wanted answers.

Then, a tech official near the side of the room stood and addressed the room.

"We’ve confirmed them. Four known supernatural races in the mortal world: Vampires. Witches. Werewolves. Kitsunes. Each with distinct cultures, powers, and bloodlines."

"And all four," Malakov said, "have agreed to send representatives."

A hush fell over the room. Everyone turned toward the massive doors at the far end of the chamber.

The supernatural delegation was about to arrive.

But they weren’t coming in small numbers.

This wasn’t a diplomatic group.

This was presence.

One by one, they began to appear.

A squadron of silver-cloaked witches from the Highland Circle of Scotland, their boots silent, their eyes glowing faintly beneath wide hoods.

Behind them, a column of werewolves from the Nordic Wildhunt, dressed in long gray furs, scarred and broad-shouldered, with eyes that flicked like animals sizing up prey.

From the eastern gates came a procession of kitsunes, elegant and quiet, each step deliberate. Most were human in form, but their fox tails shimmered like mirages behind them, flicking once every few steps.

And then came the vampires.

From the shadows of the arch, they emerged in lines. Not just Origin Clan. Not just one faction.

Vampires from New York, from Cairo, from Osaka, from Tunis, from São Paulo.

And among them—

Vulpina. Sharp and elegant, her black coat slicing through the air like a blade.

Vladimir. Composed, unreadable, with the air of someone who didn’t fear death because he had already made peace with it.

Boris. Towering. Silent. His cloak was old. Stained. Respected.

Greta. Slow steps. No smile. No expression. Her presence made the light dim a little wherever she stood. Grief had given her a new kind of strength.

The human leaders watched as more than forty supernatural figures entered the hall. Not all were leaders. Some were bodyguards. Some were observers. But all of them had the same thing in common:

They were here openly.

No glamour. No illusion.

The world would see them—exactly as they were.

Some in the human delegation stood. Some sat frozen. Others whispered behind hands and notes.

But none of them spoke aloud.

Because in that moment—

The summit...

Had truly begun.

Origin HQ

One Hour Before the Summit

The skies over Origin HQ were overcast again. Always were before something big. The clouds didn’t rumble, didn’t crack—but they loomed, like they knew.

Francisca leaned back against the desk, arms folded, eyes focused on the screen floating in front of her.

Francisca’s voice was quiet, but sharp.

"Are you really sure this summit won’t break into a fight?"

The question hung.

Then—

Behind her, footsteps.

Lucifer stepped into view. Hair white as snow, red eyes glowing faintly under the low light. He wasn’t armored, just his usual long coat. Simple. Crimson. But his presence wasn’t.

He looked at the screen, then past it—like he already knew what was being said.

Francisca turned her head slightly, waiting for him to speak.

He did, voice low and casual.

"Don’t know."

A pause.

He stepped up beside her, rolling his shoulder like the thought alone was enough to stir something deeper.

"But I have to go."

The screen flickered slightly from his aura. Static buzzed at the edges.

Lucifer glanced at his hand. Opened it. Closed it slowly into a fist. His fingers trembled—not from fear. From pressure. From the stillness inside him that was waiting to break loose.

"I’m a leader now," he said, eyes narrowing. "Whether I like it or not."

He lowered his hand.

Then smirked—just a little. Not cocky. Just honest.

"And besides..."

He turned to Francisca, meeting her gaze.

"I think I’m the strongest one left in this world."

The silence after that was different.

No fear.

No challenge.

Just truth.

Francisca gave a small smile. One that didn’t reach her eyes.

"Then make sure they know that when you walk in."
