Yawning, I woke up. My head was tossing and turning as I tried to wake myself up enough to actually get out of bed.

But a traitorous part of me wanted nothing more than to just lay down and go back to bed.

And the funny thing was, it was winning.

I groaned and swept the blanket back over me…

"Wait!" I called out, a blanket? I didn't create this. For a moment I just lay there, trying to comprehend how I could have obtained one before panic eventually won over and I opened my eyes.

Instantly the mysterious light of the cavern took my eyes and for a second I just readjusted to the light.

Then I swept a hand over the blanket and turned it over and over, puzzling over it.

It was only then that I threw it to the corner of the room. Shivering at what I had found.

It waved back, a slimy tentacle being made in order to do so.

"You!" I yelled jumping to my feet. I tried to sound intimidating but it came as more of a squeak than anything.

Immediately I clamped shut on my mouth before I turned away, my cheeks blushing at the voice crack.

I hadn't had one of those in years and to have them again was immensely embarrassing.

"MMM!" MMMM!!!"

"Hah… what's that" I muttered, looking to the corner that I ignored.

What I saw stunned me for a moment and caused me to go back to my system messages.

"Shit…" I called out as I saw what had happened.

[Intruders detected]

[Your |slime (lv2)| has killed a mana enhanced human.]

[Gain |250xp| ]

It must have happened while I was asleep. And the slime over in the corner that had masqueraded as a blanket just formed a giant thumbs up and was that a…

A giant smile.

I recoiled back at that, although the slime must have thought that it was charming it just came off as creepy.

'Wait' I thought, shaking my head before going Vance to the kidnapped woman m.

I hadn't thought it possible. For me tk be even more surprised then when I had died but now…

I was thinking that it may actually be possible, this situation was a bit more than I could handle.

So I set myself upright and walked over to the captive that my slime had brought to me.

She was wrapped in a cocoon of silk. Courtesy of one of the spiders.

Which one, it didn't matter.

I just sighed and looked for the nearest sharp object.

Which happened to be a bloodied sword.

But what did I care. I just grabbed it and walked to the obviously terrified girl.

Her screams were muffled by the silk but I could understand some of it.

Unfortunately, none of it was helpful as all I could understand were pleas of help.

I just sighed and walked over to her.

I raised the sword and she closed her eyes in terror.

I slashed down, taking the silk that covered her mouth with it.

A moment later she opened her eyes, ruby red eyes staring at me pleadingly.

"Help… please…"

She pleaded but I only crouched down and gave her my most beatific smile.

"No." I simply said before I sat across from her.

The look of pure despair on her face seemed to trigger something in me.

Something that I couldn't resist indulging in.

I couldn't help but draw closer, the sword in my hand feeling light as I brought it to her face.

It filled me, the terror that was, it was like a warm meal after a particularly cold night.

I dragged the blade across her face and watched as the blood dripped from her wounds.

I couldn't help it, my tongue flicked from my mouth and I drank do the blood.

For a moment I just sat there and tasted it, the breathing of the woman a calm serenade.

"Mm~" I couldn't help but moan out.

The blood was so good, soo good.

I wanted more and I would have more.

Fangs grew from my mouth as I bit into the woman, sucking and sucking all that I could from her body.

She started to scream, then it turned into a whimper as she fell asleep.

By the time that I ahead ended my feeding frenzy she was barely more than a husk.

Her cheeks and face sunk from blood loss.

I wiped the errant blood from my lips and licked my finger.s.

My senses were so powerful right now.

I could even hear the slow heartbeat of the woman as she slowly…

"Oh shit!" I yelled.

'Can I heal her? I want more of that blood and if she died I wouldn't have any.'

"Shit, shit, shit!" I didn't have much time.

I strained my ears trying to hear her heartbeat but at this moment I could hear nothing. She was already dead.

[Your senses have strengthened]

[Your body has began units evolution, feed it more blood to increase the progress]

…

I lay back down on my bed, contemplating what I had just done.

I had never felt so hungry before. It was as if some primal instinct in me was calling at me so do that.

And I had answered that call.

"Hah" I sighed into the air. Now that I thought about it, it made a lot of sense.

If I were a vampire it would make sense why I could see in the dark.

I had thought it nothing more than a quirk of the dungeon and that I was just able to.

But if I was maybe half vampire, a dhampir? Yes, a dhampir half vampire half dungeon then it would make sense.

But why hadn't I wanted the blood of those guys before.

I had a theory, one that may sound crazy but it could very well be true.

Yes it was…
