Prologue

["Host~ WAKE UP!"]

I open my eyes at the sudden scream so I sit up but looking around and seeing familiar walls of my bedroom my heartbeat slowed down.

"What was that and when did I get back home?" rising from my bed I suddenly felt a wave of intense piercing pain on my neck for a few seconds.

I slowly stood up and walked towards my mirror.

"Uhhh... What's wrong with me?" I asked but looking at my reflection, something surprised me "Is ... Is that me?"

I look a little taller, I have a well-defined body with muscles in the right places, six-pack abs, and muscular arms covered in strangely shaped tattoos.

But something, something is wrong.

I look like some weird vampire who escaped from one of that shitty sci-fi Vampire movies.

On my neck is some kind of mark in the shape of two small dots glowing pink.

The veins on my arms are now black and my new tattoos look like shadows of darkness starting on my hands and continuing through my wrists, forearms, elbows, upper limbs, shoulders, and ends in the middle of my chest where are they both connecting and forming a circle with an unknown symbol in the middle.

The circle looks like a black hole and the symbol in the middle looks like some kind of strange rune, similar to a symbol from a game I played recently, but the protagonist has this symbol on his left hand.

Thanks to this symbol, he acquired magical powers.

Next, I have incredibly pale skin, like I'm missing most of the blood in my body.

"What in the seven hells happened to me?"

Another thing is that my eye color is constantly changing between ... purple and red.

I take a deep breath and sigh, "What the hell? Is this some kind of sick dream?"

["I assure you that this is not a dream host~"] Suddenly I heard a strange, creepy voice and then my head started hurting badly.

"Ugh ... it hurts Ahhhhhh" Leaning against a wall, my eyes started glowing, my vision changed and everything was now in shades of black and white.

And like it was just an illusion the pain disappeared.

"What?" Looking around with my strange vision I saw three things.

First are the sources of light like a candle or lamp with the color of white, next are sources of pure darkness where there is no light and something is in these shadows, like some sort of energy or something.

I feel like it's calling me to consume it.

It's a weird feeling.

The Darkness has the obvious color of black.

The third thing is silhouettes of humans walking around.

Mostly, it's a mix of these two colors. (White and Black.)

But then, some silhouettes are bright white and some are black with a purple aura around them.

I think White is good, Black is bad and Grey is the fusion of the two. (Normal people, sometimes good and sometimes bad.)

This vision is ignoring walls so I can see people walking around my house or sitting in cars.

Focusing on one spot in my home and seeing a familiar person in the room under me I felt a strange peace.

Her silhouette was bright white with a greenish aura.

"Mother" I mumbled and my vision changed to normal again but then, I felt an unbearable thirst.

With my mind in chaos asking what was going on and thirst in my throat hurting me like a thousand razors, I wanted to run away from my bedroom to drink something.

But, when I made the first step, my body suddenly flew through the door and stopped at the railing of the stairs that ended near the kitchen where my mother was.

Unprepared to meet my mother yet, I slowly walked into the bathroom, where I locked myself little amazed by what I had just done in my bedroom.

"Wow this new me is... interesting" I mumbled but ignoring for now what I did, I turned away from the door and tried to turn on the water tap.

But with my new powers, I used too much force and the tap broke letting the water spew around.

I ignored that too and put my mouth into the water trying to drink as much as I could.

I felt the water flowing down my throat but it didn't seem to be working.

"Christopher? Is everything alright?" I looked toward where I heard the voice and my thirst worsened.

My vision changed again but now the world around me is crimson red and everything is blurred.

Like looking into the mist.

My vision only cleared when I focused on the spot from where I heard the voice.

It's my mother, knocking in front of the doors.

"Christopher? What happened?"

My full attention is on her.

Hearing every single, very attractive beat of her heart, my mouth opened more and more as I started to feel my teeth getting sharper.

"Come on Christopher, open up the door, please? I'm worried" Hearing my mother's voice again I woke up from the trance.

Resisting my new nature I slapped myself and looked into the mirror above the sink.

"Don't worry Mother, everything is okay. I'm sorry, I had headphones. I didn't hear you... I'm going out in the minute." I look at the reflection of my eyes that started changing back from that trippy purple-red to its original bright blue color.

*Haaaah *Fuuuu *Haaaah *Fuuuu *Haaaah *Fuuuu I took a few more deep breaths, waiting for my mother to leave.

"Okay, Dad is going to be home soon" Hearing her walking away my fear dissipated and my thirst for blood soothed down.

I waited for a few minutes and then opening the door of the bathroom and looking around I walked towards my bedroom again.

Remembering that my body flew through the door must have done something to them but now finding out that they are fine and there is no sign of damage is just weird.

"Did I teleport?" questioned myself while looking at the doors in shock I heard the strange demonic voice again [''That's some of our abilities~'']

Who are you?! was the question I wanted to ask but my attention was piqued by the sound of keys in the lock of my main door.

I started walking down the stairs, a little nervous but determined at the same time.

The door opened and my father walked inside, looking pretty tired.

"Ohhh, hi Christopher, are you going to school?" but looking at my face and body his expression became amazed "Hmm... You've changed quite a bit in the time I've been away,... what happened? Did you step into some super soldier program? HAHA"

"Hi Dad and yes, but it was just a workout center near school. Sorry, I'm still tired, I'm going to sleep again" I answered as I turned around and walked back to my bedroom.

"Okay," Dad said and headed to the kitchen to meet my mother.

I threw myself at the bed as it broke under the strength I used but ignoring it I thought 'What did I get myself into?' as my mind then drifted back into the world of strange dreams where I was before.

Dreams about battle to the death.

[... Night ...]

I woke up in the middle of the night as my throat was hurting badly.

"Ughhhh t-this thirst, uhh it's worse," I said but suddenly I heard a sweet female voice.

"Of course, it's worse darling," she said and my sight fell on the dark corner opposite of my bed where were only two red eyes visible.

"Who's there?" I asked as I stood up from my bed.

From the darkness in the opposite corner of my bedroom suddenly walked a beautiful girl.

Her body was bathed in moonlight as she slowly started walking towards me.

With each step my heart started beating faster, wanting to jump from my chest.

She was 180cm tall with a curvy body in sexy, tight latex jeans with a white shirt unbuttoned almost between her perfectly sized F-cup ding-dongs, beautifully shaped thighs, long white hair tied in a ponytail and her crimson blood-red eyes were watching my every move with... obsession?

She stopped in front of me saying "Why didn't you come tonight? I waited for you but when you didn't show up I started looking for you. I... I was worried" as she hugged me.

"Wh-What do you mean?" I asked as she stopped hugging me and threw me back on my bed.

I was shocked at the strength she used but looking at her I heard "You are my darling, you PROMISED to take care of my needs~. AND NOW you need to be punished for making me worried~" she said licking her finger and lips as she jumped at me, holding my arms above my head.

"And I'm so, SO HUNGRY~" *BITE *SLURP *GULP without much explanation she bit my neck and started drinking my blood.

I was waiting for the pain to come but the only thing I felt was a pleasure, pleasure I never felt as my thirst started becoming unbearable too.

I felt like I was in the middle of the desert without a single drop of water.

'But what is happening, why do I feel like I know this woman for years and I can trust her with my own life.'

But before my thoughts could go further my hands broke free from her grip and started moving on their own as my fingers touched every inch of her body.

My vision changed to a black-and-white world but when I looked at the girl on me, her silhouette was black with a blood-red aura and not purple like others have.

'I think it means that she is a vampire?' I said with my inner voice getting an interesting response ["Yes, she is a vampire, like you BUT NOW~ stop thinking bullshit host~ and start drinking! I want to know the taste~ of her blood~"]

Ignoring the answer of the demonic voice in my head I inhaled the scent of her neck and it was just too alluring to resist so as my teeth sharpened I just let myself bite her neck.

Her blood was delicious, like a sweet cherry as she moaned "Mmmmmmm~"

Her body shook a little at the feeling of me sucking her blood but then she fully relaxed and lay on my body, pressing her two big mountains against my chest still with her teeth in my neck.

After a few seconds, her hands started playing with my hair as my left hand was glued to her ass and thighs and my right hand was caressing her hair.

30 minutes later, she pulled away from me and walked towards my window but I felt like something was missing and my thirst was only 1/3 satisfied.

I wanted more but I could drain her dry and my thirst would be the same as it was like I needed something else,... like a different flavor.

"You are leaving?" I said in a somewhat sad tone.

"Yes, but you are going with me. Someone is waiting for us after all and I want more LOVE from you darling~" she said as she looked at me with her face, which now had a crazy, blushed expression as the irises in her eyes changed into the shape of a heart.

Then her body disappeared from my bedroom window.

"Common darling, we need to go" was heard from my garden so I put on a white T-shirt and a black leather jacket.

I wanted to go but a hesitation took control of my body as I just stood in the middle of my room remembering a memory from my past until I heard a voice in my head ["Go hosssttt~ Forget the past and enjoy the present~"]

"What?" I said looking around but again nobody was there.

'Am I reading too many novels when I'm thinking that this is the scene when the main character leaves his home and becomes powerful or something?'

["Stop thinking bullshit and jump you stupid puppet!"] I heard as my body suddenly jumped from my window and followed this vampire lady to the night streets of my hometown, New York.

'Can you at least tell me what is your name or who are you?' I asked with my inner voice.

["My name is Ardelean, a small amount of essence from the soul of The Dragon of Darkness and you are my host now..."]

'So, that means I have some superpowers?' I thought in excitement.

["Yes, you have. But to use it, you must swear that if we find our master, you are going to let him possess you and take full control of your body to take his revenge. And when that happens, your soul is going to be destroyed..."]

'Ehh? Why me?' dropping my gaze at the swinging ass of the Vampire lady in front of me Ardelean answered ["My master is locked in a prison made of pure light, after thousands of years I finally managed to escape, looking for a powerful host to be worthy of The Darkness powers and can help me free my master and you were the closest virgin I found."]

["The others were just trash but you seem different somehow."]

'How do you know that I'm a virgin?!' and with embarrassment I get my answer ["Because only a virgin can become my host, but we are going to talk about this later."]

Suddenly I heard that sweet voice again but with a little concern and a sad tone "Why are you so quiet Darling? Yesterday you were all lovey-dovey but now you are walking behind me,... I did something bad to annoy you?"

"No I was just thinking about something but now what's your name?" I asked.

"You... ahhhh you don't remember?... My name is Victoria Phoenix, heiress of clan Phoenix" she said and my brain stopped working.

"Are you that Victoria Phoenix? And what happened yesterday-hump!" and before I could ask more Vicki just used her mouth to silence me as the battle of her tongue and mine started.

Still a little shocked I let her win and my brain melted as she started caressing my hair and my heartbeat was racing like crazy.

["She tastes GOOOOD~"] said Ardelean and I thought the same.

Her tasty cherry lipstick added a sweet taste to our kiss.

After a few minutes of kissing, she pulled away as a bridge of saliva was the only thing still connecting our lips for a last second before it broke.

My heart filled a wave of strange feelings I felt once in my life as I was standing now in front of a beautiful vampire girl who was looking at me like a teenager in love.

'Wow, it was a long time since I had some intimate contact like this' my inner voice said as my eyes were locked on Vicki's face with a little blush on her cheeks looking extremely cute.

"I wanted to do this for so long ~ I want more, but unfortunately, first, we need to get to the Atlas where is someone waiting there. I'll explain this situation to you better there too. We can't talk about this outside'' she said and as my mind was still in seven heavens from the kiss we shared, I threw my worries away, took Vicki's hand and we started walking towards the club named Atlas.

[...But of course, nothing good can last forever right...]

As we walked, eight muscular men suddenly stepped out of the shadows of the nearby alley and pointed a strange-looking gun at me.

"Hey beauty, come with us, You are just losing your precious time with a loser like him." Thug 1 said.

"Yes, yes, come with us dear Vicki Phoenix and, if you kneel in front of us, we can even make him stop bothering you forever" Thug 2 chuckled.

"You know what? Fuck you boy and die" Thug 3 said and seconds later *BANG *BANG *BANG was heard but before I could react I saw the face of my beautiful companion facing mine, her body getting the bullets destined to be mine.

"I Love you, Darling, run my love, hide in the Atlas, RUN!" was the last thing I heard, and her clinging body was struggling to let me go.

*BANG

I heard again before she started falling and my body turned as I started running, hearing only another two shots, the buzzing sound of some electric equipment, and Vicki's painful screams.

"HE IS RUNNING AWAY, CATCH HIM!!!" Thug 4 roared in anger.

"SHOOT HIM!!" Thug 5 ordered.

I suddenly stopped turning myself back, looking at the thugs putting the hurt body of Vicki into the trunk of a big black SUV that passed us a few minutes ago.

She had bruises all over her body and her delicious blood was dripping on the ground.

She had the strength to kill only one thug before the poison and drugs from the bullets affected her body and mind.

It was obvious that even with her vampire regeneration, she struggled to deal with it.

And in the end, she failed.

Her eyes opened one last time looking straight into my soul before she fell into the realm of unconsciousness.

It was a painful sight.

This sight was imprinted in my mind before I knew it. It was like a reminder that when you're not strong enough, your family will end like this and you end up alone.

After all that beautiful love this girl gave me, worries about my safety, her kind and... sometimes obsessive looks, she protected me and I couldn't just let her be used by these worms.

["What are you doing stupid puppet, Turn yourself and save her!"]

["You're not someone who will back out from a challenge right?!"]

And then something broke in me, in the depths of my soul, something tore its way out of the prison I made around it.

Something I buried a long time ago and that something was my blood lust.

''You know what? Fuck it, Ardelean, I'm not going to let her be killed or worse by those pigs! I lived a normal human life for too long and it became boring."

"I always hid in the shadows, scared of everyone, but now I want excitement, revenge, feeling adrenaline running through my veins and blood splashing my face and falling from my hands so if helping you means I can be freed from my normal but pathetic life, protect my family and this girl from the filth of this world like those thugs, then fine, I'll help you free your master."

"I like her without knowing why, after an hour, she gave me more than any friend or girl I ever knew"

["..."]

"Just give me some powers already so I can save her!"

And all I heard was ["HAHAHAHAHA Finaly~ you stupid puppet, some interesting host I claimed. Well then, you now became the bringer of death"] which somehow filled me with excitement.

My eyes turned purple, dark aura exploded from my body, filling the entire street with my pure killing intent as I felt my strength rising significantly.

["But don't forget what is our purpose host~"] I heard but looking at Vicki's body being thrown into the black SUV I thought 'It's worth it!'

After a few seconds as my body was covered by darkness, I suddenly felt something forming in my back and tearing its way out.

My attention was piqued by the Darkness on my left hand forming the same strange symbol that was on my chest.

I felt like I was in the game I played recently but this tattoo is in purple looking pretty badass on my hand covered in shadows and not black as the game MC had.

Then Ardelean asked me something ["Well then, ready to kick some butt's host~?"] which my voice now mixed with a demonic tone thanks to the transformation answered with only one sentence from the famous movie "HAHAHAHA YES, LET THERE BE CARNAGE!"
