Crimson Core

The aftermath of the battle left the arena in both awe and disarray. Daimon stood amidst the debris, his eyes ablaze with a primal hunger for more. His laughter echoed through the realm, a haunting melody of exhilaration and madness.

"Not enough! Not nearly enough!" Daimon exclaimed, his voice a crescendo of fervor. His body trembled with restless energy, and he clenched his fists in a gesture of insatiable desire.

His crimson eyes gleamed with an insatiable thirst for greater power and might. The black dragon's defeat had only fueled the voracious beast within him, and he hungered for a more formidable opponent.

"I need more! A real challenge!" he declared, his voice reverberating with a manic fervency. "This dragon was but a mere appetizer. I crave a feast of battles that will shake the very foundations of this realm!"

As he spoke, his body moved with an otherworldly grace, as if possessed by an ethereal dance. He spun and twirled, his movements a symphony of fluidity and power. Each gesture conveyed his innermost desire for greater conquests.

But what greeted him was total silence. It seemed that the opponents on the Tutorial Floor were limited to the black dragon alone. His thirst for more adversaries left him restless, craving the next challenge that would test his limits.

Suddenly, a system panel appeared in front of him, breaking the silence.

[Congratulations on clearing the EX-Rank Tutorial Floor]

Daimon's eyes widened with surprise. He had cleared the EX-Rank Tutorial Floor, a feat that no one else had accomplished. But there was more to come.

[Congratulations on being the first participant to clear the Tutorial Floor]

[Congratulations on being the first participant to clear the EX-Rank Tutorial Floor]

The notifications hinted at something special, a prize for being the first to achieve these milestones.

Daimon couldn't contain his curiosity. He waited patiently as the system calculated his rewards.

[Please wait for a moment to calculate the prizes for the first to clear the Tutorial Floor and EX-Rank Tutorial Floor]

The anticipation grew, and Daimon's mind raced with possibilities. What could be awaiting him as a reward for his unmatched prowess?

[Prizes are being calculated]

Time seemed to stretch as he waited in anticipation. A smile crept across his face, knowing that whatever the rewards were, they would add more excitement to his journey through the World Towers.

Finally, the system panel changed again, and a small crimson-red rounded object appeared. Daimon's eyes fixed on the mysterious item.

"What is this thing? Is this my reward?" he wondered aloud.

As he examined the crimson core, an informational panel appeared, shedding some light on the enigmatic object.

[Crimson Core: An unknown core with crimson red color. If it touches true blood, its true appearance will appear]

Daimon was intrigued, but the information left him with more questions than answers. What did it mean by "true blood," and what was the true appearance of the crimson core? Whatever it was, he sensed that this was no ordinary prize.

Daimon's heart raced with exhilaration. The Tutorial Floor had been just the beginning, and he yearned for the challenges that lay ahead.

The world of the towers beckoned, promising encounters with foes and puzzles that would test his strength and cunning.

The crimson-red rounded object still intrigued Daimon like an enigmatic puzzle waiting to be solved.

He couldn't shake the feeling that it held something of immense significance, something beyond the comprehension of ordinary participants in the World Towers. It seemed to pulse with hidden power, resonating with the very essence of his being.

Suddenly, a thought crossed his mind, and he felt an inexplicable urge to test the object further.

With a calculated motion, Daimon grabbed the crimson-red rounded object with his left hand, holding it firmly yet delicately. His mind raced with curiosity and excitement as he considered the possibilities.

Without hesitation, he moved his right thumb to his mouth and bit down until it was oozing with blood. A faint grin spread across his face as he gazed at the crimson core. "It would not hurt to give it my blood, right?" he mused aloud.

His decision was made, and with a resolute resolve, he pressed his bloodied thumb against the mysterious object.

As soon as the crimson core came into contact with his blood, a brilliant light enveloped Daimon, blinding him momentarily. The surrounding realm seemed to ripple with unseen energy as if acknowledging a momentous event.

When the light subsided, Daimon felt a surge of power coursing through his veins. The crimson-red object was now shining with an intense red glow, and the information about it changed.

[Vampire Core: A Core of a vampire. Eating it will change the consumer into Vampire Race.]

Daimon's eyes widened with astonishment. He had expected the object to be significant, but the revelation that it was a Vampire Core left him baffled. "I am a vampire, but I never knew about this Vampire Core," he mumbled, trying to make sense of the newfound knowledge.

He continued to ponder, "I also never heard about vampires possessing a core. What is the purpose of this unique organ?"

As he mulled over the implications, the information panel changed again, adding another layer of mystery to the already puzzling situation.

[Race Core: An important organ of a specific race that keeps all the mana that the possessor has. If eaten, it will change the consumer into the race of the core.]

Daimon's surprise grew, realizing that the Vampire Core was indeed an essential part of a vampire's identity.

"It seems that this vampire race is different from mine," he murmured, intrigued by the peculiarities of this unfamiliar vampire lineage. "We vampires keep mana in our blood, but this vampire has a specific organ dedicated to it."

A wicked grin spread across Daimon's face, and his crimson eyes sparkled with an evil glint. "I wonder what will happen if I eat this Vampire Core," he said, his voice laced with anticipation.

With that daring thought, Daimon took a step into the unknown. Consuming the Vampire Core was an act of audacious curiosity, and he was more than willing to embrace the consequences.

As he brought the object to his lips, the realm around him seemed to hold its breath, awaiting the outcome of this daring act.

The enigma of the Vampire Core and its implications on Daimon's existence sent ripples through the fabric of reality, leaving the tower and its inhabitants in suspense.

What changes would this peculiar object bring to Daimon? The answers awaited him beyond the veil of uncertainty, and the World Towers stood witness to the unfolding of a mesmerizing tale—one that would forever change the course of the enigmatic vampire's journey through the extraordinary realm of the towers.
