For Ashan, the arrival of this new era, having skipped centuries, was a very hard shock. He could hardly believe that man had vehicles that did not use horses, that he traveled through the sky in airplanes, or that the earth was so overpopulated.

But the main shocks were cultural. Religion was no longer the yoke of the people, the masses had been imposing themselves until they achieved that farce they called democracy, or according to Ashan's perspective, the election between the tyrants who were really behind the curtain.

Likewise, massive events such as the world wars, the atomic bomb, the rise of a new empire on the other side of the sea like the United States, the Cold War, a world that had changed so much that it would be difficult to know how or what place vampires occupied in it right now.

Democracy and the arrival of concepts such as human rights must have been a hard blow for vampire organizations, even for the justicars themselves, however the continuous wars, from the Middle East, Afghanistan to Africa seemed to them the typical smokescreen that vampire clans would make to continue expanding their reigns of terror and be able to feed themselves quietly.

Countries like Mexico with its missing people or South America with its insecurity, could be the perfect broths to satisfy hunger, on the other hand those economic superpowers and their strange insistence on perpetuating wars, provoking them and managing the world had more to do with the classic struggles of vampire councils than with the stupid way of behaving of human beings.

But not all the clashes with reality were bad; the rise of culture, compulsory education, the abolition of slavery, were things that he valued positively, even the arrival of real medicine and not based on superstitions fascinated him.

This made him wonder if vampires had not found a cure, a way to restrict hunger, or artificial blood to feed on in a world as complicated as this one. He had no doubt that behind many large companies and many pharmaceutical companies there must be the old threads of many great masters.

The icing on the cake for him was the Internet, access to global information, the possibility of having a terminal to access it that was smaller than a dagger or a bag of coins.

Needless to say, the role of women in this world surprised him. He had always had vampire companions, but it was true that in the times he had lived in, women were little more than cattle for humans. Baby factories, and pussies to stick them in hot. It could be a harsh truth, but thinking about how far women came from in this society was a titanic advance.

Ashan knew that it had not always been like this. When he was born, his tribe was much more egalitarian, women had a great role, even with the arrival of Celtic culture, they preserved a large part of their traditions. It was Rome first, the Anglo-Saxons and barbarians from the north later, and to top it off, religions had relegated women to a secondary role for centuries.

The guest's life was exciting and hectic, given his father's profession as a diplomat he spent his entire childhood traveling every few years, he was born in Holland, lived in France, England, Germany, so many changes of school and places made the boy have a withdrawn character, he did not have real friends or ties anywhere.

Years passed and the boy grew strong, tall and with good skills for sports, however the boarding schools where he studied kept him very isolated from life. Although it was strange, the boy began to grow innocent, and had a postponed childhood for many years. Thus, the boy had turned fourteen and had not yet shown even a hint of sexual desire for any girl, Ashan was beginning to worry. At that time, he lived in Barcelona, ​​a city where his father had just arrived as a diplomat at the Brazilian consulate.

The boy had gone out to buy some comics in one of the stores on Paseo San Juan when a girl a few years older than him passed by him. The girl ate him up with her eyes. So tall, with that black hair, that fair skin and that sculpted face, he really was a handsome boy, even if he himself wasn't aware of how much.

Pablo, that was the boy's name, looked at the girl, she was dressed like a schoolgirl, with the short skirts of a private school, but she had tied her blouse under her incipient chest. She had beautiful, almond-shaped eyes, but Pablo couldn't help but look down at the girl's cleavage again.

At that moment Ashan noticed the call, the seal had been broken after all those years of waiting and finally the vampire could begin his conquest of Pablo's body and mind. It was a refreshing sensation, but the sparkle in Pablo's eyes had to change so much that the girl felt intimidated and continued down the street, quickening her pace.

The impersonation wouldn't be quick, it wouldn't happen overnight, it would take a few years to complete the process and Ashan didn't have a way to speed up the process. It was not like when a vampire created another one through a conventional means, when the parasite directly took control of the host. Here the parasite had grown by infecting all the cells, but in order to do so it had had to let the child's mind grow independently, now it would have to take back control and generate the fusion little by little.

The vampire had no magic left, no power, no spells to cast, no superhuman abilities to use, but that didn't worry him, when the time came and the boy took his first woman in a sexual act, his magic would begin to activate again and he would take complete control. At that moment he could take revenge as planned in his own prophecy, if destiny had taken him so many centuries into the future it would be for a reason.

It is true that there would be many seals to break and many requirements to meet, but with planning and time, Ashan did not see any that were impossible. The only thing he had not been able to foresee, study, or know was what effects the parallel growth of the parasite would have from the gestation itself to the boy's adulthood.

Most vampires are turned once they are adults, when they already have a complete and created body, and they depend on the purity of their creator's blood for their body to reach a higher level of infection or not.

Pablo took out his wallet, he had some savings, it was the advantage of a boy with little social life and a good family, but at that moment Ashan's will acted, in the end instead of going to the comics store, Pablo went to a nearby gym, thus beginning the preparation for the conquest of the world, and this began by shaping the young body of the boy until it was perfect.

It was true that he could have started at that very moment, trying to influence the boy to conquer some innocent girl, but after waiting sixteen years, waiting a little longer would not hurt anyone.

When the boy entered the gym he asked about the price and the hours, at that moment a pretty girl who seemed to be a gym staff member approached him.

"Hey boy, do you want to sign up?"

"Yes, that's what I thought..."

"Do you want martial arts, or do you prefer something more relaxed?"

"I was thinking about weight training or a workout."

"Perfect, you can always hire our personal trainer services, that way you'll learn how to shape your body, I'm Miriam, one of the trainers."

"Nice to meet you, my name is Pablo."

It was impossible for a twenty-year-old girl to notice a fourteen-year-old boy, but the opposite was not unreasonable, Pablo had to try hard not to look at the trainer's ass or chest. After seeing the rest of the trainers who were meaningless bags of muscle, he decided to put himself in the hands of this beautiful woman.

Pablo's life was beginning to change and Ashan planned to influence all those small details, besides the vampire still had many things to learn from that world, and being inside Pablo's mind he would have access to the world's largest source of information and depravity that no race had created, the World Wide Web.
