Bluedawn City's gates.
Xue Ren stopped walking as he stared at Huo Ning. The youngster feeling his gaze, turned around and simply asked...
"What's wrong?"
"...Have you ever killed someone?"
Xue Ren's voice was strange. Neither calm or worried. After sorting out his memories, Xue Ren felt like he had to ask this question... Huo Ning who saw him standing like that thought he is worried about consequences of killing...
"Isn't it normal? I heard about others killing themselves on missions... Schools approve such competitions... Only those who survive through bloodbath will become truly strong."
Xue Ren didn't say anything as he was still looking at his young friend. Huo Ning feeling his gaze realized that he didn't truly answer his question...
"I haven't killed, but I already saw others killing since the childhood, so I believe I can do it... I always say I want to protect my family, but the truth is that the one I want to protect the most is myself...
"Isn't it normal?"
It was Xue Ren time to say this...
[Home]
Arriving at the home, Xue Ren immediately headed to room with medicines. The smell of herbs assaulted him as soon as he entered. Simply smelling those pills was enough to alleviate the pain. Nevertheless, Xue Ren took them immediately and stuffed them in his mouth. Sitting on the floor, he focused his awareness on the mysterious energy that flowed through his body as it healed him. Those pills were very expensive, even several nobles from his class couldn't use them freely as Xue Ren, but he had the support from Zhi Shendra and he knew that he is rich so... Xue Ren didn't hold back at all...
His healing process was fast. It was because Xue Ren's control over energies was abnormal, truly divine. With his clothes and body dirtied, he moved towards the bathroom. Hearing the sounds of water, he unconsciously smiled. Sho Yue has prepared the bath for him. She has been with him since he has arrived in this world. She was someone who healed his loneliness, shared joy and together faced every obstacle. Xue Ren has truly fallen in love with her. Hugging her from behind in bathtub, Xue Ren thanked her for today and after a while of talking, he fell asleep burying his head in her hair...
As he has fallen asleep, the memories of his past self began to reminisce.
The young Endrun has been training very hard to the point where he barely had any strength to come back home. Even so, he did his best so he could live with his mother.
Then one day, he came back come quite late, but their home's lights were still up.
However, standing before doors, he could hear the sounds of his mother screaming and rough panting of men... He was at the age where he understood about such acts... Close to seventeen years old.
In the cold night, the young vampire hugged himself as he looked ahead.
The sudden thought of becoming stronger and breaking the shackles appeared in his mind...
However, he immediately subsided such thoughts 'I am mere servant.'
And so, the young vampire has been crying alone for a whole night...
Finally, the nobles left the room as the sunshine assaulted him...
He immediately stood up and run to his home. The sight of his mother lying on the floor broke him...
Taking her out of stinky bed, he headed to the bathroom and wiped her body carefully.
His mother slowly opened her eyes and smiled at him. She who rarely smiles...
Her smile made his blood boil. The thoughts of becoming stronger had resurfaced inside his mind...
'Become stronger!' the sudden voice shouted inside his mind...
It was his voice yet he felt like it wasn't...
Nevertheless, the young Endrun had decided to follow this voice...
After the whole year of hard working, his young master allowed him to enter the first floor of 'Crimson Library.' It was the place where history and knowledge of vampires has been kept.
Here, the young servant wanted to learn all knowledge of vampires and other races as well. Even if it was only first floor, it was his first step towards creating his technique anyway. In order to break shackles of servitude, he couldn't rely on techniques that servants could learn.
And so, the young servant has been entering the library everytime he could.
Then, one day he looked around the room.
The chair that was more comfortable than his bed.
The exquisite paintings, walls and floors.
The books that were more worth than his whole life...
The young vampire felt like he doesn't belong to this place, but such thought also gave a birth to new one... Looking around the room once more, he thought....
'I want to create an art more beautiful than this...'
When Xue Ren was sleeping, Sho Yue enjoyed her free time by drawning. The gorgeous woman and canvas itself was beautiful painting. The Black Tigress smiled as she moved her brush. She was painting the sleeping Xue Ren, it was already fifth picture... The gorgeous woman smiled with contentment after finishing her work. Placing the picture inside her Space Ring, she moved her gaze to Xue Ren. It was when his body started changing...
She could see little red strings moving across his whole body. Soon, his skin become little paler and his teeth got a little longer. It wasn't that noticeable... the most important thing was that now inside his body, not only magic power flowed, but Aura as well...
'Vampire Aura?'
Sho Yue immediately recognized this Aura thanks to her massive knowledge from bloodline. Then, Xue Ren opened his eyes. Eyes that were deep red, beast like eyes...
The youngster himself could feel changes about his body...
Back then, he felt like it was scary thing... to lose humanity, but now...
"I am reincarnator." he told her with his usual smile.
"Then you were vampire in your past life..."
"Not only vampire..."
"Eh?"
Her confused look was very cute, Xue Ren couldn't help, but caress her cheek.
