???

Wait... I can use blood arts now? does that mean I am a Vampire? But why do I feel the same?

' checking my appearance in the front camera' I was shocked 

" What the hell?"

My eyes... they look like koorgil's.... does that mean this is how their eyes looked like ?

" Wait a second... isn't this bad?"

Vampires were not demonic creatures, but still they use blood arts and dark magic which is quite similar to demons, and they also have weakness with sunlight.

Let me see...

' Extending my hand toward the window' I was confused 

.....?

why doesn't it hurt? I don't feel like I am weak or something, does that mean I am not completely a vampire?

" and what did he mean by that..?"

Why did he want me to go to his planet? Wasn't it destroyed already? thinking about it now who was the one to seal the curse? And why did he end up in earth?

" The more I think about it, the more questions I have"

At the end of the day, I survived... and also have a clear resolve now...

" I will not let this world go to ruin "

In the novel, after all the sacrifices. The demon king killed Harold, the whole entirety of races died by the demons.

I was already planning to prevent that from happening, but the practical class showed me how pathetic I was. Not even a demon... or a third rate villain... it was just some human underling who almost caused my death.

" I have to ask that dragon for a way "

In the novel, after Livia managed to convince the dwarves, they sent another spacecraft and took her with the main lead to the dwarves planet ' KhazXr '. It originally was the dwarves land but once they found the AI treasure, they honored the ancient civilization who made it and changed the whole planet name close to the AI name.

" He is probably in that same mountain "

The dragon who fled from the war and stayed here was a neutral being. He looked down on humans and thought of them as some ants, but he had the right to do so. Dragons are in individual prowess were the strongest, but their numbers weren't that many, and their biggest weakness was their ego. They will never bow to no one except to the dragon lord. However, now that the dragon lord is dead, they went into isolation and ended up scattered around the universe.

"...Inte-

"-Hmm? Arthur? Is that you?"

Livia?.....I forgot about her.... wait....no...what if she saw me use the curse?...she probably left just like I said... but again who else other than her would keep my body safe? 

" You saw what happened right? "

"!!?! W-what? N-no! What are you talking about?"

sighe....she definitely saw me use the curse... how exactly do I explain it to her? 

"Ahem....Arthur, what happened to you? You look different"

..This?...How can I explain it to her..... wait she knows that I'm hiding my power... maybe she will believe it if I said that this is how I look and I was hiding my appearance?

" This is my true appearance... but because of the last fight, I accidentally lost my disguise..."

she seemed confused but after seconds she nodded in agreement while talking to herself.

" you hid your strength from the academy evaluation... so you also can hide your appearance somehow....it is not that much of a difference but still..... I see now..."

phew.. thankfully she just accepted it as a natural thing...luckily, I don't see her amulet on her to know whether I lied or not.

I have to confirm if Harold got his skill like in the novel.

" Livia, what happened to the others? "

hmm? Is she tired?

"..sigh...I t's a long story"

....

..

.

" I see.... so Harold suddenly became powerful enough to face C rankers ? "

" Hm? Oh yes the second ranker used a skill, it was quite a good one as well "

" I forgot to say this but... Thank you Livia "

" I-It's Alright, I did what was natural.....The one who should be thankful....you were.....saved....."

Why is she mumbling all of a sudden? What did she say at the end?

" Sorry? "

" Nothing! Anyway it was nice to see that you are okay....it got a little scary since you were unconscious the longest "
