Training and blood meal

Besides the training Kiel received from Karl and the couple, Kiel took classes with other kids, as he lacked the common sense and the knowledge about this world language. What surprised him though was that the language he was speaking was being translated thanks to the Interface.

The Interface even said that it could record anything Kiel saw, even if it was a mere second, Kiel prontly used that ability to record everything he saw. The Interface then told him that it could not only record anything, but it could also transfer that knowledge to his mind.

Kiel got flabbergasted at the functions the Interface had, he even asked for what more it could do, which the Interface then neglected to answer.

Being able to record anything he saw or heard was a great function, so Kiel ignored the Interface answer and continued to study. The days passed and Kiel still went to the classes with the kids, as most of them were between the age of 5 and 10. These kids, some liked Kiel while most of them did not.

Despite being a world in chaos, drowned in an everlasting war, it didn't mean they were illiterate. Well most people were, but the vampires still taught their clan members the minimum to live, and Karl took pity on Kiel's fate.

Kiel was told by Karl that vampires couldn't have kids, he then asked Arjuna and Tomoe, receiving an answer almost immediately.

"Some of these kids were kidnaped while most of them became orphans, mostly due our attacks to their villages. Don't worry, they don't know were the ones responsible for them being here. Most of them think we even saved them. Don't look at me like that, we need to replenish our lost members."(Tomoe Scarlet)

"Hey kid, you must have been sheltered all your life huh! Listen, they were being kept by the wolves as food, different than us, we don't kill the captives, they're cattle for us. However our boss ordered us to treat the humans nice, enough to make them wish to stay with us at least.

In here they have food, shelter and don't need to worry dying tomorrow. The wolves at the other hand eat them alive, hunt the humans and even toy with their lives. In fact were better than those damn dogs."(Arjuna Raven)

Look at Arjuna words, and the condition this word was in, Kiel really thought that the vampires were better than the werewolves, but nonetheless both were something Kiel wouldn't accept. For Kiel who came from a world where freedom was a right, guaranteed to more than 95% of the world, these thoughts were far barbaric.

Kiel lost track of his time in this city, as he trained and studied, more than two months passed by.

"So kid, now that you finished most of the classes for kids, answer me. What is happening in this world and are our enemies?"(Karl Bonara)

"The war started more than thousand years ago, but less than five thousand. The records were lost as many kingdoms, countries and such were created and perished, some in the same day, but the kings never survived more than 10 years on the throne

Currently almost all humans live in the holy country of Sanctus Huriya, the country is ruled by the church, which is ruled by the angels. The angels and demons are the ones behind the war, as they are semi-immortals.

The demons tried to make the dragons their allies, but failed miserably, losing more than half of the territory they had won. In the last century, all races formed their specific countries, but whether or not this was the work of someone behind the shadows is still a mystery."(Kiel)

"Good, at least you learn fast. I don't know what I would have to do with you if you turned out to be as stupid as a rock. No offense Rockita-chan."(Karl Bonara)

Karl looked behind me and said, when I looked back I saw a huge golem made of rocks. At the beginning I would think it's a statue, but now I know its a golem, a type of demon.

While there are the golems made of magic, Rockita, I think that's her name, is different because 'it' has a soul.

She is a spirit trapped in the body of a golem, not to be confused with elementals, who are created from the accumulation of elemental mana.

Rockita on the other side, turned around and.. glanced at us or stared deathly at Karl, I couldn't because she didn't possess any expression on her rocky face.

"Is her name Rockita because she is a rock? Or because she is a golem?"(Kiel)

"No, she had that name even before, she's a witch. She sealed her soul in that golem when a pack of werewolves attacked her village. She didn't want to turn into a werewolf, hence her actual form."(Karl Bonara)

"Now forget that and let's continue. Kid, in these two months you must have become a proper vampire, and it's time for you to drink blood for the first time. Come I even brought back a gift to you."(Karl Bonara)

As karl said, there was a girl with her head hanging down behind him, she was wearing hags and seemed very deprimed. Her skin and hair would be compared to those of models if she didn't had dirt and blood all over her. The incommon piece of collar in her neck made her seem like a slave.

She was the 'gift' Karl had mentioned just now.

"I know you became a vampire not long ago, but if you don't drink blood soon, the hunger will grow stronger until it makes you go mad. Go to your house, take her and drink her blood, heck if you want go and lay with her."(Karl Bonara)

Kiel knew what Karl meant by the hunger, it was the state when a vampire didn't drank blood for a long time and it makes them lose their mind. As the time without blood increases their weakness grow, and the hunger becomes a deep desire, wishing to be fulfilled.

Many humans, or other races, who became vampires and refused to drink blood went mad, attacking everything in front of them. They became what they feared the most, a bloodthirsty vampire, attacking anything that had blood in front of them.

Those were stories told in the classes he went, and he was also feeling some desire for blood, but it was small as Kiel wasn't a proper vampire, but he still had their abilities and flaws.

"Yes Karl, I will take her, but the other part I'm not so sure."(Kiel)

Kiel answered and went to the girl, ordering her to follow him as he went to the small cottage he got to live. The room Kiel woke in belonged to the slave girl, she only had on bed and belonged to Karl, a blood bag per se.

When Kiel was resting in her room, for the two days they spared the small bed, as Kiel would not let her sleep on the floor, but he wasn't allowed to sleep in there either. Thankfully Kiel's new house was bigger than the room that slave girl owned, which was at max twelve cubic meters.

The girl followed Kiel, with quick and light steps, making almost no sound. Kiel entered his house first when he arrived and took off his boots. The girl was wearing nothing on her feet, which made it completely black from dirt and mud. Kiel led her to the bathroom, filling the bathtub with hot, clean water.

As incredible as it seemed, plumbing and potable water was something that the vampires gtt from the dwarves, who lived in the neighboring country.

Tomorrow another one. Or today, depending on where you live.

Please watch for any mistakes I may have committed.
