Chapter 1: I Became the Vampire Ancestor

```The Nolan Empire, the largest city in the south—Green City.

A Mage Tower, standing twenty-five blades high and coated with red alchemy materials, stood in the eastern part of the city.

Apart from the slightly conspicuous scarlet exterior wall, it was inconspicuous compared to the other three fifty-blade high Mage Towers in the city.

Inside the Mage Tower, on the third floor study.

In a space large enough to fit five elephants, the space was crammed with oak bookshelves full of various precious books like the "Nolan Empire General History," "Alchemy Basic Study," "Magic Array Basics," and "Divine Light."

Magic books, even those revered by commoners as exclusive to nobles, filled an entire bookshelf.

At this moment, by the rightmost oak bookshelf, beneath the thick central book "Magic Secrets," a young man in a black mage's robe lay unconscious on the gray velvet carpet.

A mage.

A young mage.

The young mage's skin was an unnaturally pale shade, as if he had never seen sunlight.

His slightly opened mouth from fainting revealed two sharp tusks that, combined with his handsome, devilish face, exuded a beguiling charm.

If an outsider had barged in, they would certainly have exclaimed.

A vampire!

These creatures, living off human blood, were always considered incarnations of demons in the Nolan Empire.

Once discovered by the priests and the priests from the various temples, they would assuredly mobilize the army to besiege these terrifying evil beings.

But what was surprising was that a vampire, usually hunted year-round by mages, appeared in the Mage Tower that symbolized orthodoxy.

You should know that every part of a vampire was a precious magical material. Their blood could be used to inscribe magic arrays, their ashes to create alchemy traps, even their tusks had enormous uses.

Thus, even an Advanced Mage of level 10 would be thrilled to hunt a vampire.

Now, this vampire, unconscious in the Mage Tower, was dressed in a robe issued by the Green City Mage Guild, creating a rather odd scene.

Buzz~

Lide, lying on the ground, suddenly awoke, his mind felt like it was stuffed with countless things, causing immense pain.

"How long did I sleep? Today is just too unlucky."

It was the weekend, and Lide, having just resigned from his 996 job, had gone to Wanda Mall in the city center to experience the first virtual online game, "Glory," jointly launched by the five major game developers.

Unexpectedly, the game cabin malfunctioned.

It leaked electricity.

And it happened to be Lide's turn to experience the game while waiting in line during the leakage.

Instead of experiencing the first virtual game, he felt like he was being disciplined by Master Yang the Thunderbolt, which was quite frustrating.

Although it didn't cure his gaming addiction, it deterred him from ever trying out the game touted to be 99% realistic.

After receiving a 2000 yuan compensation from the staff, he didn't pursue the matter further.

After leaving the mall, his head still felt a bit dizzy, so he planned to lie down for a bit to recover once he got home.

But as soon as he lay down, his mind seemed to be forcibly crammed with so many things, causing immense pain and many inexplicable images and memories.

Finally, unable to bear the extreme pain, he fainted.

Lide rubbed his eyes as the drowsiness slowly faded, but his vision was still somewhat blurry, making it hard to see his surroundings clearly.

Feeling relieved when the headache subsided a bit.

"Good thing nothing serious happened. I'll check it out at the hospital later. If there are any aftereffects, that would be terrible."

Just as he was about to stand up, his face suddenly changed.

The pain surged back, even worse this time, as if countless ants were biting him every second.

He stopped moving and held his head with both hands.

Along with the pain, an unfamiliar memory appeared in Lide's mind.

Scenes flashed before his eyes like a movie.

Elves, giants...

Mages, warriors...

Nolan Empire Baron, Green City Mage Guild member...

Vampires...

Countless memories flooded into Lide's mind.

Being passively receptive, Lide could only grit his teeth and accept it.

Half an hour later, just when Lide thought he couldn't make it, it suddenly stopped.

He finally digested the unfamiliar memory.

White as a sheet, with no trace of blood on his face, Lide surprisingly didn't scream but instead showed a perplexing expression.

"I transmigrated into the game 'Glory'?

And became a Blood Clan Ancestor hidden among humans?!!"

He had occupied this body due to the electric leakage in the game cabin, and the original soul of this body had vanished.

And this body was quite remarkable, judging by the unfamiliar memories he had received.

His current identity was a member of the Green City Mage Guild in the southern great city of the Nolan Empire, an Advanced Mage with a level of 10.

Bestowed with noble status in the Nolan Empire, a Baron title.

His prominent position on the surface, his hidden identity was even more exaggerated.

Blood Clan Ancestor.

True name Lide Kachar, owning a castle in the Far Mountain Range outside Green City, and over 200 Vampire Bloodlines.

Combining the memories in his mind with his knowledge of the game "Glory," he was certain that he had transmigrated into the game which hadn't been released yet.

As a gaming enthusiast, the game "Glory" caught Lide's eye when it started being advertised three months ago. He had obsessively researched all the official material.

If it weren't set to launch a year later, he would have already joined the "Glory."

"Glory" is a virtual online game jointly launched by the five major game companies in Huaxia.

It claims to have 99% realism, and the time flows differently from the real world, with three game days equaling one real day.

This epoch-making masterpiece caused sensational repercussions upon announcement, with all test players expressing immense amazement for the game.

It was hailed as the greatest black technology in nearly thirty years.

The game's story background is set in a magical world.

It features deities, giants, dragon clans, elves, demons, dwarves, humans, and other dozens of races.

The vampires are also one of them. However, since the game hasn't launched yet, vampires are scarcely mentioned in the official notes.

He could ascertain he transmigrated into the game so quickly because, in his received memories, he knew he was currently in Green City.

Green City, the southern giant city of the Nolan Empire with a population of over a million, was one of the few human cities mentioned in the official game materials.

Crucially, his memories perfectly matched the official information.

"What does this mean? Am I an NPC now? Or is this a real world, and I just transmigrated?"

Lide was a bit bewildered.

His hard-earned worldview had been shattered.

"Can I go back then?"

Anxiety surged, as Earth was his home. No matter how exciting this world was, it couldn't compare to home.

Just as the thought occurred, he suddenly opened his eyes to find everything around him had changed.

The slightly dark and luxurious study turned into a brightly lit room with a laptop playing the latest variety show.

Lide's face beamed with uncontrollable joy.

"Am I really back?!! This isn't a one-way trip? I can actually return!!"

How to get back into the game then?

Immediately after the thought, his vision darkened, and the Mage Tower study scene reappeared.

Lide's excitement finally couldn't be contained anymore, and he laughed out loud.

Dual transmigration, invincible.

The next half hour, Lide continuously experimented with entering and exiting.

He concluded:

1. He could return to the real world from the "Glory" world anytime and vice versa at will.

2. Upon entering the game world, his real-world body would be in a state of slumber, and he could only spiritually travel there. However, if his body encountered any stimulus, he could sense it and wake up immediately.

3. The number of transmigrations is related to spiritual power. With his current spiritual strength, he could only transmigrate five times in half an hour. Exceeding this limit caused excruciating pain.

With these settled, Lide began to explore other things gradually.

To his delight, the game panel appeared in his mind.

Lide Kachar

An array of dazzling skills, with Mage as the primary profession reaching level 10, and the secondary profession Warrior also reaching level 5.

He didn't expect that after becoming an NPC, he could still have an attribute panel usually only visible to players.

The final information in the attribute panel suddenly caught Lide off guard and froze his cheerful face.

1095 days until the Otherworld Chosen Ones descend...

Chosen Ones descending?

The game's open beta?

Players?!
