Chapter

"To your previous question, I am a vampire, or rather, I am the Vampire Lord." 

"And yes, I was in that coffin. I was sealed there years ago," he added as if he could read the girl's thoughts, anticipating the exact question she was about to ask.

,, A Vampire!''

 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Curiosity sparkled in Kaito's eyes as he addressed the captivating girl before him, "Why are you so surprised?" he inquired. "Surely your clan must have extensive records about my lineage, passed down through generations," he added.

The girl was momentarily taken aback by his knowledge of her clan's origins. Yet, her surprise waned as memories stirred within her, memories of a time when her clan, famed for their lush green locks and piercing amber eyes, thrived, renowned for their powerful kekkai genkai.

How long had it been since she dwelled on her clan? Quite some time had passed since the tragic day when her entire clan was ruthlessly slaughtered, prompting her to suppress and bury all thoughts of it. Hunted relentlessly by countless ninjas and villages, she endured as the sole survivor of her once-proud lineage. Now she alone carried the weight of her kekkai genkai, a unique power exclusive to her clan: the manipulation of time.

Although everyone in her clan possessed this power, not everyone could master this power. It demanded not only exceptional talent but also an extraordinary reservoir of chakra, a resource not abundantly available to all, along with finesse in control. Countless perished in their pursuit, succumbing during training or endeavors to harness its might. Some fell due to their scant chakra reserves, drained as the power consumed their life force. Yet, she emerged as one of the select few who attained mastery over a fraction of this formidable force.

But, she harbored a fatal flaw that hindered her from fully unlocking this power: her limited chakra reserve. No matter how diligently she strived to overcome this obstacle, she could not transcend this inherent limitation. It was this very flaw that prevented her from vanquishing the ten ninjas. Initially gaining the upper hand in battle, she utilized her power to immobilize and dispatch several of the ninjas, depleting a significant portion of her chakra and vitality. Her train of thought was interrupted by the Vampire Lord's inquiry.

''So, have you reached a decision? Will you embrace this power and join the ranks of the vampires, or do you wish to remain human? If you choose the latter, I shall grant you wealth sufficient to live comfortably for the remainder of your days," he proposed.

Furthermore, he cautioned, "Be aware, once you become a vampire, there is no turning back. Reflect upon your choice carefully. I do not wish to hear of regrets, a common sentiment among your kind."

The girl appeared lost in contemplation. While she noticed his somewhat disdainful tone towards humans, she considered it fruitless to engage in discourse regarding his views or the reasons behind his dominion over humans.

'Do I truly desire to become a vampire? What does it entail to be one? My clan's texts provided scant information on the matter... How can I be expected to remember such details amidst the numerous teachings and responsibilities befitting the daughter of the clan leader... I digress! All of that is in the past' pondered the young woman, shaking her head.

'Should I ask him?' she thought. She looked at him and stared at him for a few seconds before opening her mouth. "What is it like to be a vampire? No, I meant, what are the advantages and disadvantages of being a vampire? I know a few things, but I would like to hear some things from you to get a clear picture before making my decision," the girl whispered hesitantly.

She didn't know if the man would be kind enough to answer her questions. Sure, he had saved her, but as she had analyzed and noticed, he didn't have a good impression of humans. And she is a human. And although she is a human, it seems like he would treat her better than he would treat other humans.

However, it's not like she knows or has seen how he would treat other humans. Maybe it's just her imagination, or maybe he treats her better because she freed him? Before she could think any further, she heard him clear his throat and cough a bit to get her attention before he began to explain.

"As you already know, there are significant differences between humans, whether shinobis or non-shinobis, and vampires..." He explained how vampires are faster than humans, physically superior to them, and heal better than humans. All of this was what she already knew.

However, he had her complete attention when he delved deeper into the history of vampires.

"I assume that the book you read did not mention the origin of vampires...?" he said, looking at her questioningly while tilting his head slightly. The young, beautiful green-haired girl denied it, and the vampire began to speak satisfactorily as he crossed his legs.

"Vampires do not originate from here. From this universe, but from a distant and distant universe. In fact, I am the only vampire in this world!"

Hi everyone, how are you? 

What do you think of the book so far =) ?

Any suggestions for the plot and powers?

I'm planning to introduce three other original characters into this story. I'm unsure about the powers for one of them, so I'd appreciate your ideas.

Please comment below, and don't forget to leave a review, vote, and where are the power stones ;)?
