My alter ego is becoming a big shot - Episode 17

vampire (1)

“Hmm, really? It really has nothing to do with the ‘Oath of Reverse Heaven’ guys.?”

“That's right, Wirak. I arrived in Ajantu after traveling from the city of Tilak in the east..”

I lied calmly.

“What happened to the few days of inactivity??”

“As if I had been through a lot, I suddenly felt unwell and was confined to my dorm. I was inside the whole time and looked so rattled that the hostel owner must have misunderstood something..”

It was obvious, but vampire subjugation didn't work for me..

The moment I became a vampire, I had an instinct to obey Wirak, the high-ranking vampire in front of me who infected me, but I was able to ignore it..

‘But for now, let's follow along. This is your chance to gather information on them..’

At first, I wondered what would happen now, but instead, it was a good opportunity to join the gap between the vampires who rule this city..

“Tsk, whatever. I like it. You just follow me.”

When Wirak saw no income, he clicked his tongue and threw himself out the window..

I hurried out after him..

-Entity name: Heinz II

-Race: Vampire (Remaining Blood))

-Common characteristics: 「Mind Herb」, 「Mysterious Index」」

-Individual characteristics: 「Blood Clan (Remaining Blood)」, 「Acceleration」, 「Regeneration」」

-Special Note: He inherited the bloodline of 'Brokoslak' and his body was transformed into a vampire. When you do not receive sunlight, your physical abilities increase explosively. Due to the influence of the “Mind Herb,” the mind is no longer dependent on the blood..

‘Physical abilities have improved. I think this is more than the guy I killed in Barcolac.?’

It seemed that the previously strengthened state was included in the increased abilities after becoming a vampire..

I followed Wirak's footsteps and pulled out the blood from the tips of his fingernails and sharpened them..

‘Oh, as expected.’

The skill gained by becoming a vampire, “Blood Clan (Residual Blood),” allowed him to use the abilities used by Barcolac’s vampires..

The lowest rank of vampire, including physical augmentation, blood weaponization, and vampirism..

‘What rank is that guy? What is broccoli slag??’

As I was watching Weerak going ahead, he looked at me and nodded as if he was satisfied..

“I just inherited my blood, but I already know how to handle it that much. You seem quite talented..”

He seemed in a bad mood earlier, but he seemed to have relaxed a bit when I looked useful..

“I can see that he is following along well and his physical ability is above average. Looks like I didn't make a very bad choice. At least it's better than Pauline who died this time..”

I think the name of the vampire killed in Barcolac was Pauline..

Ignoring the useless information, I naturally spoke to Wirak..

“Thank you, Wirak. But may I know where you are going now??”

“If you follow me, you will know.”

It seemed like it was getting tiresome to explain things in detail..

We rode over the buildings of the city and entered an upscale neighborhood lined with luxury homes in the center of the city..

“It's this way.”

As if he had arrived at his destination, Wirak stopped in front of the largest and most ornate-looking mansion..

Squeak—

And soon the iron door of the main gate opened with a small noise..

“Are you here? Wirak.”

Inside the door, a middle-aged man with a pale complexion wearing a butler's uniform was waiting and bent his waist at a right angle..

“okay. I think I need to eat something. Prepare with what you always eat.”

“This person···?”

“Ah—this is the newly created residual blood. Just grab the kids and guide them around..”

When the butler looked at me and asked, Wirak gave a cursory answer as if he was annoyed and walked into the building..

“Then follow me..”

“Ah, yes.”

“Please speak comfortably. Because I'm just a servant.”

It seemed like the Servant was of a lower rank than me, who had residual blood..

As I followed the middle-aged butler into the mansion, one of the butlers standing inside approached me..

“This friend will guide you from here. Hayden, since you are the one who inherited the blood this time, I will help you avoid any inconvenience..”

“All right. Mr. Butler.”

The middle-aged butler bowed to me again and disappeared inside..

And with Hayden's guidance, I walked around the gorgeous interior and asked various things I was curious about..

“This is the Azantu branch of the ‘Brokoslak Clan’. Wirak is the only pureblood in this city..”

Among the three, Wirak seemed to be in a position to take responsibility for all the vampires in this city..

Besides that, we exchanged questions and answers as they came to mind, and arrived at the door..

“You can use this room starting today. So, if you need anything, please ring the bell inside..”

Hayden nodded hello and walked away without making a sound..

Clap—

“wow···.”

When I opened the door, the interior of the gorgeous room dazzled my eyes..

From tables to sofas to beds, everything felt like the end of luxury..

My reflection was reflected in the beautiful mirror on the wall..

A sharp-looking, cold handsome man with a pale expression..

I always prided myself on being a handsome guy, but when I became a vampire, I became a handsome guy in name and reality..

‘This might not be bad... Rather, the vampires here are reflected in the mirror..’

flutter—

I threw myself on the bed and lay down.

I woke up in the middle of my sleep and it was still a while before dawn, but I couldn't sleep, perhaps due to the effect of becoming a vampire..

I closed my eyes and organized the newly acquired information..

It is said that training as a vampire will soon be done by his senior, the residual blood, and Hayden first taught him the basics..

Vampires were basically nocturnal, acting at night and sleeping when the sun was shining..

That's because low-level vampires below Servants get burned by sunlight like in movies, and even high-level vampires have limited power, so they don't go out when the sun is out..

“Ah... if I disappear without saying a word, the kids will be worried..”

They said I could leave whenever I wanted after the training, so I had no choice for a few days..

smart—

“This is Hayden. Can I come in??”

How long had it been like that before there was a knock on the door and Hayden's voice was heard?.

“Uh, come in.”

Hayden came in through the door and held a tray in one hand, and on top of it was a wine glass full of red liquid..

‘That's probably not real wine...?’

“It's been a while since you passed on the blood, so I've prepared it for you because I think you're probably getting hungry..”

“No, I'm not that hungry yet...?”

It was really okay until just now, but the moment I smelled the blood Hayden brought, I suddenly felt extremely thirsty..

As I was panicking, Hayden thrust a wine glass in front of me..

“This is fresh blood that has just been squeezed out. Please eat it quickly..”

As the blood approached, the body began to react violently..

The fangs stick out arbitrarily, the eyes do not leave the wine glass, and the whole body trembles..

‘···Is this a withdrawal symptom? At this level, vampires really can't resist the urge to suck blood.?’

Of course I was an exception.

The body's reflex reactions can't be helped, but impulses can be controlled with the "Mind Herb", so it won't happen that you get out of your control and suck blood at will..

‘But I guess I should drink it now.?’

If you don't drink it, you'll raise unnecessary suspicions, and it's not the time yet..

I reached out my trembling hand and picked up the wine glass..

I can feel the fragrant smell of blood..

‘After all, it would be dangerous to just drink it..’

Because you can't think of blood as delicious..

I lifted the glass to my lips and blocked my sense of smell and taste from Heinz..

gulp···

The more tasteless blood you drink, the more your body calms down..

As if I had taken a stimulant, my mind became clearer and I felt like I could handle my strength more easily..

“And it is said that Rosilica, the one with the remaining blood, will visit us a little later. He said the full-scale training would start tomorrow, but he wanted to briefly say hello..”

I nodded lightly at Hayden's words as he took the glass of wine he had just finished drinking..

Because it had to be done anyway, it was better to finish it quickly..

After waiting for a while, I was soon able to say hello to another vampire..

“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 stiff and talk comfortably. It's the same residual blood. Because we are equal among people of the same class.”

My first impression of Rosilica was that she was a vibrant beauty..

Bright appearance, lively smile, and sociable appearance.

When I first said hello, I felt like I had a crush on him, but that feeling didn't last long..

“So what I like the most is the blood of handsome men? The more muscle you have, the better. Now that I think about it, you’re just my type? If you were still human, you would have sucked up every last drop. Hahahaha~.”

This was just light years away.

“Hey, Rosilica. Now that I know your taste for blood, why don't you tell me about its rank? I just became a vampire and 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. Later, when you have a taste, let's have a tasting to recommend something to each other..”

I never wanted to become friends, but I couldn't help it right now..

“Our rank is fourth. Next is pure blood, true blood, and pure blood. There are only servants and slaves below, so they are virtually at the bottom. They don't even treat me like a vampire~.”

After listening to the story, it is said that servants are the servants who are like the employees of this mansion, and slaves are the intelligent vampire monsters..

‘I guess I was lucky that I ended up with residual blood..’

I guess it was because one of them just happened to be dead and I seemed useful..

“If I were to compare it, the remaining blood is a knight rank. Purebloods can be said to be nobles. Jinhyeol is the royal family, the leader of the clan. Precious blood... is just an object of faith.”

“faith?”

“Our progenitor and someone who must be absolutely obeyed. The Supreme Being of the Beginning.”

Rosilica, who was chanting in awe, soon burst into laughter..

“Well, you'll never see people like us even once in your life..”

As I was talking with Rosilica, I could feel dawn coming outside..

There were thick curtains on the windows, but I could see to some extent..

“Oh my, it's already been so long. It's late today, so let's continue training tomorrow. It's time for me to sleep now. They say beautiful women are sleepyheads.~?”

Rosilica winked and soon left the room..

‘It's late···.’

I sighed at the momentary feeling of disconnection..

Now that I think about it, as the day dawns, I feel a little tired..

‘I guess I'll get used to it.’

***

After talking with Rosilica for a few days, we decided to proceed with the training by moving our bodies ourselves..

Fortunately, on the second day, I was allowed to go out with the excuse that I had left my luggage at the hotel..

‘Actually, I said this quietly, but I never thought it would be taken so seriously..’

When I mentioned this to Rosilica, who was in charge of education, her reaction was very simple..

“just go now.”

“huh? You can't leave until training is over.?”

“No, I don't know if it's somewhere else. It's okay not to worry here.”

From what I heard, the rule was to protect newcomers who had just become vampires, but since Azantu was already ruled by them, it didn't really matter..

Due to the nature of vampires who absolutely obey the upper class, treason was something they couldn't even dream of, so there was no need to discuss it..

Thanks to this, I was able to sneak out in the evening, pack my bags, and go say hello to my siblings..

“mister!”

“mister! You've been somewhere and now you're back! Even when I went to the hotel, it wasn't in the room. You were worried.!”

When I went to visit, the siblings immediately came into my arms..

Then, for a moment, Diana sniffed, then flinched and looked up at me cautiously..

Seeing his expression as if he had a lot to say, I smiled bitterly and separated myself from my siblings..

“Well, that's how it happened. But don't worry, I won't cause any harm to you..”

Kuuk—

I tried to let go, but Diana hugged me tighter and whispered in my ear..

“I'm not worried. Hey, man? If you need blood, it's okay to drink my blood. You, just not too much. Well... if it's just a little bit?”

When I glanced at Aaron and saw him talking quietly, I couldn't help but burst into laughter and fed him some honey chestnuts..

“Yay! Ugh...what are you doing?!”

“What are you talking about? Okay, so just live with this money. I'll contact you again later.”

Even though I became the leader of the city, it was still good for these kids to get out of here..

I don't know if it was from the same residual blood, but if the pureblood Wirak wanted to eat these siblings, I, a lower class person, couldn't protect them..

‘Once you can call Hans, your options will increase. Until then, let's just stay calm like now..’

After saying hello to the siblings, I returned to the mansion and continued my education with Rosilica..

How to deal with ‘blood magic’, the energy used by vampires.

“what? Is this your first time? why are you so good!”

Perhaps it was because of his high mental power or Hans' experience in handling dark magic, but he was able to quickly get used to using energy..

And what you need to be careful about as a vampire.

“garlic? It doesn't matter~ Why is that? water? I like hot springs. There is one in the basement of the mansion..”

The vampires of this world didn't seem to have many weaknesses..

Weakened by sunlight and wounds that do not heal well with silver weapons?

Even so, it was not absolute..

“It can be overcome somehow. The only thing we really have to watch out for is divine power. Because they are polar opposites.”

That's how I built up my culture as a vampire, one by one..
