chapter 17
vampire (1)
“Hmm, okay? It has nothing to do with the real ‘Oath of Reversal’?”
“Yes, Weirak. I have traveled from the city of Tillak in the east and have arrived here in Ajantu.”
I casually lied.
“What happened to the few days of inactivity?”
“After all the hardship, I suddenly felt ill and was stuck in the dormitory. I was inside all the time, but it looked like a mouse was dead, so I think the owner of the hostel misunderstood something.”
It was a natural story, but the subordination of vampires did not work for me.
The moment I became a vampire, the instinct to obey the higher vampire in front of me, Weirak, who infected me was engraved, but I could ignore it enough.
‘But for now, let’s follow. This is your chance to gather information about them.’
At first, I wondered what would happen now, but it was a good opportunity to join the vampires who ruled this city.
“Twitter, what’s good? You just follow me.”
Weirak had no income, so he clicked his tongue and threw himself out the window.
I hurriedly followed after him.
<object information>
-Name of object: Heinz II
– Race: Vampire (Remnant Blood)
-Common Characteristics: 「Mind Hub」, 「Myeonggyeong Index」
-Individual characteristics: 「Blood Clan (Remnant Blood)」, 「Acceleration」, 「Regeneration」
-Speciality: Inheriting the bloodline of ‘Brokoslac’, the body has been transformed into a vampire. When not receiving sunlight, physical abilities increase explosively. The mind was not subordinated to blood under the influence of “Mind Hub”.
‘Physical abilities have improved. I think this is more than the one who killed in Barkolak?’
Apparently, the previously strengthened state became a vampire and was included in the increased stats.
I followed Weirak’s, pulling out the veins from the tips of my nails and sharpening them.
‘Oh, too.’
The skill acquired by becoming a vampire, 「Blood Clan (Remnant Blood)」, allowed me to use the abilities that Barkolak’s vampire used.
Vampires of the lowest ranks, including boosting physical abilities, weaponizing blood, vampires, and more.
‘What’s his rank? What else is brocoslac?’
Looking at the leading Weirak, he looked at this side once and nodded as if he was satisfied.
“You just inherited blood, and you already know how to handle it that much. You seem quite talented.”
It looked bad before, but it seemed to have loosened up a bit when I looked like it was usable.
“Seeing that he is following well, his physical ability is above average. I don’t think it’s a very bad choice. At least it’s better than the dead Pauline this time.”
I think the name of the vampire killed in Barcolak was Pauline.
Roughly ignoring useless information, he spoke to Weirak naturally.
“Thank you, Weirak. But may I know where you are going now?”
“Follow me and you will know.”
Apparently, it was cumbersome to explain.
We ran over the downtown buildings and entered a wealthy village lined with luxury mansions in the heart of the city.
“This is it.”
Arriving at his destination, Wyrach stopped in front of the mansion that looked the largest and most splendid of the dogs.
quiver—
And soon, the iron door of the front door opened with a small noise.
“Did you come? Weirak.”
A middle-aged man with a pale complexion in a butler’s suit was waiting inside the door, and he bowed his back at a right angle.
“okay. I need to eat some. Prepare what you always eat.”
“Who is this…?”
“Ah— this is the newly created residual blood. Just attach the kids and guide them.”
When the butler looked at me and asked a question, Weirak gave a rough answer as if it was bothersome, and then moved into the building.
“Then follow me.”
“Oh, yes.”
“Take it easy. Because I am just a Servant.”
Apparently, a Servant was of a lower rank than me, who was a remnant of blood.
As I followed the middle-aged butler into the mansion, one of the butlers standing inside approached me.
“From here on, this friend will guide you. Heyden, since you are the heir to the blood this time, I will help you without any inconvenience.”
“All right. Boss.”
The middle-aged butler nodded to me again and disappeared inside.
And, guided by Hayden, I moved around the splendid interior and asked questions about things I was curious about.
“This is the Ajantu branch of the Brokoslak Clan. Yurak-sama is the only pure-blooded person in this city.”
Among the three, Weirak seemed to be in a position to be in charge of all vampires in this city.
In addition to that, I got to the front of the door by exchanging questions and answers as much as I could remember.
“You can use this room from today. Then, if you need anything, please wave the bell inside.”
Hayden nodded and walked away without a sound of footsteps.
shudder—
“Wow···.”
As I opened the door, the interior of the splendid room dazzled my eyes.
From the table to the sofa to the bed, everything seemed to be the end of luxury.
My reflection was reflected in the beautiful mirror on the wall.
A cold handsome man with a pale appearance.
He used to pride himself on being a handsome man, but as he became a vampire, he became a true handsome man.
‘This might not be bad… Rather, the vampires here are reflected in the mirror.’
Loud—
I threw myself on the bed and lay down.
I woke up in the middle of the night, and there was still a long way to go before dawn, but I couldn’t sleep because it was the effect of becoming a vampire.
I closed my eyes and organized the newly acquired information.
It is said that education as a vampire will be done sooner or later by his senior, Zan-Byeol, and Hayden taught him the basics first.
Vampires were basically nocturnal, acting at night and sleeping when the sun was shining.
It’s also true that low-level vampires who are less than Servants burn in the sunlight just like in the movie, and even high-ranking vampires have limited power, so they don’t go out well when the sun is there.
“Ah… the kids would be worried if I disappeared without a word.”
After the training was over, I was told I could go out at will, so I had no choice but to go out for a few days.
smart-
“This is Hayden. May I come in?”
After a while, there was a knock on the door and Hayden’s voice came over.
“Oh, come in.”
Hayden opened the door and came in with a tray in one hand and a wine glass filled with red liquid on it.
‘Isn’t that real wine?’
“It’s been a while since you inherited blood, so I thought you might be hungry, so I prepared it.”
“No, you’re not that hungry yet… are you?”
It was fine until recently, but as soon as I smelled the blood Hayden had brought, I suddenly felt a sudden thirst.
Confused, Hayden held a wine glass in front of me.
“It’s fresh blood that’s just been squeezed out. Come on.”
As the blood drew near, her body began to react violently.
The fangs protrude at will, and the eyes do not fall from the wine glass, and the whole body trembles.
‘…is this a withdrawal symptom? Is this enough that vampires can’t really stand their vampire urge?’
Of course I was the exception.
The body’s reflex reaction is unavoidable, but I can control my impulses with the “Mind Hub”, so I won’t be able to get out of my control and voluntarily suck blood.
‘But should I drink it now?’
If you don’t drink, you’ll have some doubts, and it’s not the time yet.
I reached out with a trembling hand and picked up a wine glass.
I can smell the fragrant blood.
‘It would be dangerous to just drink.’
It’s not okay to think that blood is delicious.
He put the glass to his lips, blocking his sense of smell and taste that communicated with Heinz.
gulp gulp…
The more you inhale the tasteless blood, the more your body calms down.
As if drinking a stimulant, his mind became clearer and he seemed to be able to handle his strength more easily.
“And after a while, Rosilica, who is still blood, is coming to visit. Full-fledged education starts tomorrow, but he asked me to say hello.”
I nodded my head lightly at Hayden’s words, accepting the finished wine glass.
Because it’s better to finish it sooner rather than later.
After waiting for a while, I was able to greet other vampires soon.
“hi? Nice to meet you, newbie. You can call me Rosilica. What’s your name?”
“Nice to meet you. My name is Heinz.”
“Don’t be hard on yourself, you can speak comfortably. It’s the same residual blood. We are equal to each other in the same class.”
The first impression of Rosilica was that of a lively beauty.
A bright appearance, a lively smile, and a sociable appearance.
Until the first time I greeted them, I had a crush on them, but that sentiment didn’t last long.
“So my favorite is the blood of a handsome man, right? The more muscles, the better. So, are you the only one I like? If you were still a human, you would have sucked up every last drop. Kyahahaha~.”
It was just a light year.
“Hey, Rosilica. Now that your blood tastes are good, can you tell me about that rank? I just became a vampire, so I don’t know anything.”
“Ah, yes. Come to think of it, you haven’t drank much blood yet, so there’s nothing you can do about it. If you have a taste later, let’s have a tasting with what we recommend to each other.”
I never wanted to be friends, but right now I had no choice.
“Our rank is fourth. After whole blood, true blood, and pure blood. There are only Servants and Slaves below, so it’s practically the end. They don’t even treat you like vampires~.”
I heard that Servants are servants like the people who use this mansion, and Slaves are vampire monsters with no intelligence.
‘It was fortunate that the blood remained.’
It must have been because one of them was dead at the same time, and I thought it was worthwhile.
“For comparison, the remaining blood is a knight rank. Pure blood can be called noble. Jinhyeol is the royal family, the head of the clan. The Precious Blood . . . is just an object of faith.”
“faith?”
“Our progenitors and objects to which we absolutely must obey. The supreme being in the beginning.”
Rosilica, who had been chanting in awe, quickly smiled.
“Even if it were, we would never see a group like us once in our lifetime.”
As I was chatting with Rosilica, I felt the dawn outside.
There were thick curtains on the windows, but I could tell to some extent.
“Hey, the time has already come. It’s late today, so let’s continue teaching tomorrow. it’s time for me to sleep now A beauty is a sleeper, right?”
Rosilica winked and left the room immediately.
‘It’s late…’
I sighed at the momentary sense of separation.
As the day dawned, I felt a little tired.
‘You should get used to it.’
***
After a few days, I talked with Rosilica and decided to proceed with the training while moving my body.
Fortunately, on the second day, I was allowed to go out on the excuse that I had my belongings left at the dormitory.
‘Actually, I took it out of the way, but I’m sure you wouldn’t take it that seriously.’
When I spoke to Rosilica, who was in charge of education, the reaction was very plain.
“Just go now.”
“yes? You can’t go out until your education is over, right?”
“No, I don’t know where else. You don’t have to worry about it here.”
I heard that the rule was to protect the newcomer who had just become a vampire, but Ajantu was already ruled by them, so it didn’t really matter.
Due to the nature of vampires who obeyed the upper classes, treason was unimaginable, so there was no need to question it.
Thanks to him, I was able to sneak out in the evening, pack my things, and go say hello to my siblings.
“mister!”
“mister! Where did you go and now you are here! Even when I go to the hotel, they are not in my room. You were worried!”
When I arrived, the brothers and sisters immediately fell into their arms.
Then for a moment, Diana sniffed, flinched, and looked up at me cautiously.
With a face that seemed to have a lot to say, I smiled bitterly and dropped my brother and sister apart.
“Well, it happened. But don’t worry, I won’t do any harm to you.”
Quiet—
I tried to drop myself, but Diana hugged me tighter and whispered in my ear.
“I’m not worried. over there, uncle? If you need blood, you can drink my blood. You don’t say too much. What if… just a little bit?”
When he glanced at Aaron’s eyes and spoke softly, he couldn’t contain it and burst into laughter and fed him honey chestnuts.
“Oh! Ugh… what are you doing!”
“What are you talking about? So let’s live with this money for now. I’ll call you back later.”
I became the head of the city, but again these kids liked to get out of here.
I don’t know if it’s the same remnant blood, because if the pure blood Weirak wanted to eat these siblings, I couldn’t protect myself, the lower class.
‘Once I can call Hans, my options will increase. Until then, let’s be as quiet as we are now.’
After saying goodbye to the siblings, he returned to the mansion and continued his education with Rosilica.
How to deal with the energy used by vampires, ‘Blood Magic’.
“what? are you the first Why are you so good!”
Whether it was because of his high mental strength or Hans’ experience with black magic, he was able to quickly get used to using energy.
And as a vampire, you have to be careful.
“garlic? It doesn’t matter~ Why is that? water? i like hot springs There is one in the basement of the mansion.”
The vampires in this world seemed to have few weaknesses.
Weak to sunlight, and silver weapons don’t heal well?
However, it was not absolute.
“It can be overcome somehow. The only thing we really have to watch out for is the divine power. Because it’s a cliche.”
So I built up my culture as a vampire one by one.
