SECOND

"Let us begin!" a hooded figure shouted as he turned towards the asleep body of a young boy.

"Hand over the blood" the figure commanded. "Ahhh... the flesh and blood of the first vampire... no one knows how old, how strong, or how beautiful she was, but a single vampire hunter... a DAMPHIR was able to challenge her".

"No matter how she was killed, she always came back to life! SHE was immortal... SHE was the founder of this holy land!" he shouted as he gently opened the cork of the tube which contained a piece of flesh of the first vampire.

The flesh looked like it was moving rhythmically like one's heart.

***

WHERE AM I?

'Huh? No... who am I?' the young boy found himself floating in a pure white.

...SECOND

'SECOND...'

'SECOND?'

AAARRGH!

A hole formed in his chest and a hand grabbed his heart and crushed it.

***

The figure had already fed the piece of flesh to the young boy.

He then looked at the person next to the body. The temple Knight nodded.

"Release the seal!" he ordered.

The body of SECOND began to twist and turn in unnatural ways. But no sound was made.

"The ring" he put his hand out.

***

Blood continued to pour out of the hole in his chest endlessly until it formed a humanoid figure with a crimson color. It was a blood breed with the frame of a human child. Perhaps the guardian spirit of SECOND.

KUH...!

"Who... are you?! What happened to me?! why is there a hole in my... chest?" Second looked down and his chest seemed completely fine.

"What... is happening to me?!"

CALM DOWN, SECOND

"Second... is that my name? Do you know who I am?!"

The blood breed walked towards Second and placed its hand on his chest.

***

"Who are you people?! How dare you defile this holy place! Leave at once, or pay the price!" the figure removed his hood and revealed a shiny bald head.

"Tch...! Filthy vamps tellin' me what to do?!" one of the people walked towards the old man and drew a scythe from his back and placed it at the back of the old man's neck.

"You will regret doing this... vampire hunters" he said without moving at all.

There was a buff priest at the back of the vampire hunter group with a book dyed red in his hand. The priest walked towards the old man and took out a stone with a radiant golden shine to it.

...!

"You...! How?! Where did you find that... SPIRIT STONE!!"

—————

SPIRIT STONE

In ancient human history, vampires had managed to blend into human society. The only humans who had known that vampires existed and had been in their presence, formed an organization of vampire hunters.

These hunters only existed in the shadows and made use of miracle stones called SPIRIT STONES. The divine and holy light that it gives off can easily render any vampire unable to fight.

Spirit stones are a gift from the gods to help humans in their quest of eradicating vampires.

Spirit stones make dreams come true.

Spirit stones are just baits to transform humans into hideous monsters.

All kinds of beliefs... but since these stones helped the vampire hunters, they continued to use them. Until finally a vampire strong enough to resist the holy light of these stones came to existence and erased all traces of spirit stones along with the vampire hunters.

More like: REVEALED IT'S EXISTENCE.

The first vampire to ever exist.

An immortal vampire. With no one to side with her or anyone to oppose her. Unlike other vampires, she could drink human blood freely. An ordinary vampire didn't have the luxury to afford to drink human blood.

Vampires can survive by just feeding off of each other if the urge was too irresistible. Blood was not necessary. But the sweet scent of human blood is irresistible to a vampire that has not been trained enough to resist it.

She had her heart stolen and was weakened to such a state that even a vampire Knight could defeat her.

The one who stole her heart was none other than the dhampir that defeated and sealed her soon after stealing it.

Vincent Scion. The one and only kin of the immortal vampire.

'Special class...?'

***

"Oye, Executioner! What are you doin' just sitting down near that boy?! Help me damnit!" he kicked away one of the cultists holding him down and swung his scythe at him.

"You should not have made haste to hurry and get rid of them... you need to control yourself or you may be incompetent to be a vampire hunter" the priest named EXECUTIONER was seemingly a human in his mid 30's.

"This boy is already dead, a pity indeed... if he had woken up, he would have enough hatred to join us and become a vampire hunter" he said.

"Fuu... that's the last of them"

"Since you're done, we should head out as soon as possible, William"

"Can you stop calling me that?! Just say my name normally man... WILLIAM! Not fucking wirrium" he complained, "had enough with your fake ass Japanese".

***

"It's like one of those RPG games I used to play... wait what?" confused with what he said, he asked the blood breed if it knows what he just said.

"I do not know, this is not the era I know of..."

...

"I just need to select one, huh?"

"What do you mean by... WOKEN UP?"

***

"AAHHHH!" Second screamed as his eyes opened in a dark room full of bodies. The room which was supposed to be dark had lit up as bright as the day suddenly.

PERHAPS DUE TO THE EYESIGHT OF A VAMPIRE?

KUH!

He felt memories pouring in as he got up. Memories of his family being murdered in front of him. Memories of him being captured by faceless figures.

"Gah...! Haa... haa..." he felt tears rolling down his face.

[Grudge : 120/1000]

After taking a moment to recover, he found a piece of stone with a golden shine to it. He went ahead and picked it just to get brunt. He dropped the stone immediately.

"The hell was that? either way... I should get out of this place" he spoke softly as he looked down and snatched a robe from one of the bodies.

After walking for a minute or two, he finally found a massive door. Pushing it open, he saw a hallway with a bright light at the end.

As Second kept advancing, he heard someone mumble things to themselves but he couldn't quite make sense of it.

As got closer, he saw a man sitting on the floor with his back on the wall. Having lost both of his legs and a large amount of blood it was really surprising that he was still alive.

"Kill me..." he demanded in a low voice.

[Grudge: 150/1000]

"But man... it sure is bright" he said as he neared the exit.

As soon as he set a foot outside, he suddenly felt extremely hot even though it was seemingly morning.

He then looked at his hand which seemed to be the source of the heat.

AHH...?

"My...hand" he managed to say just before he caught on fire.

AAAAAAARRRGHHH!

He tried to run somewhere but was blinded by the flames, so he didn't know where he was going.

GAAAAAHH! KUH...!

He fell down and accepted his fate. No longer moving or screaming; he was unconscious. A figure jumped out of Second's shadow.

"Foolish servant!" he heard just before the mysterious figure began to pull him towards the hallway again.

The figure had also caught on fire.

***

"Hmph...! I can't believe my servant tried to kill himself without my permission" the immortal vampire who was in a blood-breed form until recently had taken the form of a human woman.

I DIDN'T REALLY WANNA—

"Enough! Now I can't recover completely until two days" the MASTER said, "go in that corner and learn some sword technique will you?"

"The ring's power won't activate until I've recovered... if the ring isn't at full power, you will get caught on fire in the sun"

"Well... even if you tell me to train with the sword, I don't know what I need to do" he complained.

HERE

She passed him a picture scroll of length at least 10 meters.

WHERE DID YOU EVEN—?

"Get to it immediately!"
