Vampire
A vampire is a creature from folklore that subsists by feeding on the vital essence (generally in the form of blood) of the living or by absorbing death mana. Vampires have the ability to absorb and extract blood into unique powers with their skill called Vampirism.
At the age of gods, vampires live on the continent by teleporting using the gate opened by Gravendath’s king. They kidnapped countless people to be their blood supply livestock, forcing the world rulers to make an alliance to fend them off.
But different from demons, vampires are still able to communicate normally and not as barbaric as demons. Vampires have a high pride just like the elves. Their significant abilities are the cause of their high pride. The old folk called them “The denizens of the night”

Inside a very huge castle, the biggest castle existed in Gravendath, a huge skeletal being slowly wakes up from his deep slumber. Each of his breath gushed out an enormous amount of death mana.
“What is it?” With his deep and terrifying voice that carries a vehement force, the huge skeletal being asked the figure that is standing at the entrance of his chamber. The figure standing at his chamber’s entrance is a lich that already reached the [King] rank, the lich calmly enters the huge chamber and face the huge skeletal being.
“I have a report, your majesty,” Said the lich respectfully.
“I said what is it!?” The huge skeletal being raised his voice, and the pressure around the castle dropped just because of the vehement force from his voice. The lich remains calm and slowly kneels.
“There is a movement at the southern continent, a high ranked lich is rampaging and conquering the kingdoms one by one,” Said the lich.
“Hm… Is that information worth my while?” The skeletal dragon asked the lich as he narrowed his eyes. Sensing his king’s bad temper, the lich secretly sighed as his master never changed.
“I personally thought so, your majesty. This lich had already conquered and managed to subdue the vampire lord, Vlad Dracula,” Said the lich while hoping that his master’s bad mood will disappear because of the news.
“Hm? A mere lich managed to make that strong-willed and stubborn Vlad submit? Vlad’s power is not to laugh at, it means that the lich you mentioned possess even greater power, HAHAHHAHA! HAHAHA HAHAHA!” The skeletal being, the undead dragon king laughed as he could already see a scene of him fighting with the unknown lich. All of his body started to twitch as he itches to battle.
“Good… Looks like a storm is coming…” The undead dragon king silently mutters as he closes his eyes slowly.
*********************************************
“I see… So you’ve already conquered 4 territories, my lord…” Vlad Dracula mutters as he brushes his beard. Lich Oz, Malistrode, and Vlad are having a conversation inside Vlad’s house.
“Yes, along the way I recruit this mummy king, Malistrode. While I kill the other territories lords because they refuse to serve under me, I also kill their subjects because they’re not that strong, and since they could only be used as pawn soldiers, I decided to make them f=nourishments for my troops,” Lich Oz said indifferently.
Hearing Lich Oz’s words, Vlad couldn’t help but have a drop of cold sweat slowly fall from his face.
(I-if I reject his offer… Will he also kill me like how he killed the other lords before me?) (Vlad)
Lich Oz already guessed what Vlad’s currently thinking inside his head from his expression alone and gives a gentle smile.
“Relax, Vlad. Your vampires are in different cases. Different from the undead I faced before, you live in a civilized way of living, and your city is neat and clean, your subjects respect each other. I could see the quality of your people and the lord that managed to make that kind of city in this kind of world. Even if you vampires didn’t have that much prowess, I will still give you the same respect,” Lich Oz said with a gentle smile.
“I see… I’m grateful for your praise and to have a king like you, my lord…” Vlad expresses his gratitude to Lich Oz.
(Does my expression show that much? It’s as if he’s listening what I’m saying inside my hear) (Vlad)
When Vlad silently praising his lord while feeling a hint of fear inside of his heart, he suddenly felt Malistrode’s gaze to him. He saw that Malistrode is smiling at him as if he’s seeing a best friend.
(What is that gaze means?) (Vlad)
“Relax, I know how you feel… I’ve been with the master for quite long already, I’m grateful to meet you, junior!” Malistrode said in a good mood.
“I see! I’m glad I’m not the first one to felt like this! Nice to meet you, senior!” Vlad responds Malistrode in the same manner.
“Hm?” Lich Oz silently stare on both of them with a confused face, he’s confused why the high prided Vlad easily address Malistrode as his senior, little did he know that both of his underlings had formed an understanding and become a comrade quickly because of his intelligence that silently pressures everyone.
(What are these guys talking about?) (Lich Oz)
“Wha-” Before Oz manages to question them, Malistrode cut in.
“So master, what will we do next?” (Malistrode)
“Hm? We’ll move after the vampires had already fully grasped their new abilities,” (Lich Oz)
“Indeed… The new abilities we obtained after pledging our allegiance to you are powerful yet hard to master,” Vlad agrees to Oz’s statement.
Different from the upgrade before that made everyone faint, the vampires only got enveloped by black particles that form a cocoon around them, and the process finished in just an hour. All of the upgraded vampires obtain several new and powerful abilities and a new title.
‘True Vampire’
They reached the pinnacle rank of their race, just like what the name mentioned, they’ve become the true vampires. All of their weakness had gone, they could freely walk under sunlight and stand near fire, their vampirism had upgraded that each of them has a unique blood ability that they could muster. They also got several new abilities that could be useful for combat, but the most pleasing ability for them is all of them could now summon a pair of huge bat wings from their back just like their lord.
No need to change themselves to a bat, they could fly without having to exhaust them from the need to transform. They could also freely control their fangs whether to appear or revert to normal teeth. But different from the others, Vlad’s wings got upgraded, even more, the size of his wing got even bigger and he got another pair of bat wings.
“Yes, we could say that vampires will only be able to reach their full potential if they could master their new abilities. It will be good if you could master your divine blood art,” Lich Oz said to Vlad.
Divine Blood Art.
The upgraded version of vampirism that the vampires obtained from the upgrade, the evolved version of vampirism that uses not their prey’s blood, but rather their own blood to muster.a unique ability. Some of them could change into chains, swords, spears, bows, and other weapons while others could obtain a sudden boost on their power. The ability varies according to the person, it’s the new trump card of the vampires that had become the true vampires.
“Yes, my lord. I ensure you that all of us will master it as quickly as we could,” Vlad answered Lich Oz as he also itching to train his divine blood art.
“Setting that aside, I have something to ask you, Vlad. Since you have a proper town, do you have a world map of Gravendath?” (Lich Oz)
“Ah! Yes, I do, please wait a moment, I’ll take it,” Said Vlad as he went to his bookshelf and took a huge map and put it at the table.
“This is the world map of Gravendath, my lord. Let me explain it to you,” (Vlad)
Gravendath is split into five continents. The southern continent, the northern continent, the western continent, the eastern continent, and the central continent. Oz’s currently at the southern continent, the five continents are divided by the ocean that made from blood and mana of death, the abyss ocean.
Inside the abyss ocean, countless deadly magical beast that lives by eating the dense amount of death mana guards the ocean and kills anyone who got drown at the ocean.
The number of kingdoms in the whole world is unknown since it keeps on changing and increasing. There is a lot of undead that could summon their subjects and make their kingdoms. But at this southern continent, as one of the strongest rulers, Vlad knew that there are 8 lords at this southern continent, and the nearest to them is the Arachne kingdom.
“I see, the Arachne, huh…” (Lich Oz)
