Tales of The Vampire Cultivator

7 Days, it took 7 days of what I believed to be a burning pain worse than an eternity of burning in Hell, for my transformation to be complete.

I do not know how or why this excruciatingly painful transformation happened to me. All I do know is that it started by me going to sleep like I always do every other night and waking up during the night in the most horrible pain I have ever felt in probably my entire existence.

The pain started as a small burning sensation in my neck and started spreading throughout the rest of my body getting hotter the more it spread.

All I could do to know how much time had passed was to count the seconds, I had been told growing up if you wanted to accurately count seconds that you should say Mississippi after each second to accurately measure seconds.

So that's what I did, while I suffered I started counting 1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi. When I reached 259,200 seconds I noticed that I was starting to be able to hear things that I couldn't hear before.

I could hear the cars traveling along the road outside of my neighborhood, I could hear the sound of the tv playing of just about all my neighbors houses. I could hear the breathing and footsteps of a person as they where jogging down my street.

The pain was still excruciating it felt like I had created the biggest bonfire ever and decided to lie down right in the middle of it. It felt like how a person would probably feel if they decided to go visit the sun and tried walking on it.

The pain I felt playing football at 9 years old with people who were 15 and 16 years of age, when I broke my shoulder, I would take that pain a million times and be greatful. The pain of being hit by by a bus going 40 miles per hour and some how surviving I would take that a million times and be greatful.

After 172,800 seconds I could feel that I was getting stronger and started regaining mobility of my fingers and toes. I could also feel the air moving around me. At the same time my mind become clearer and I found that I had more room in my head to think about things.

I thought about the pain I was in, even though I tried not to. I thought about why was this happening to me? What does going through this burning sensation mean for me? While this burning ever go away, and if so how much longer did I have to suffer?

And I still had room to think about other things. After 170,000 seconds more the fire started to retreat from my limbs, my heart beat quickened, as well as the fire inside my heat got hotter.

I could feel the flames climbing up my arms and legs as my heart beat raced along faster and faster until it sounded as if it was 1 continuous beat with no pauses in between. I was starting to get excited as I had a feeling, the pain was coming to an end.

As the flames receded towards my heart I felt a new burning sensation in my throat, I felt extremely thirsty and that my throat was very parched for the reason I assumed was because I hadn't eaten any food or drank any water since the burning pain started.

As all of the burning sensation had now reached my heart and my heart gave it's last beat and I was no longer in pain. There was no heartbeat, no breathing no anything, just complete relief from the pain, and finally I opened my eyes in awe of what I was able to see.
