1 Chapter 1: Beast Hunter

Tick, tick, tick...

That's the sound of blood dripping continuously into a dark, dimly lit room, the only source of illumination coming from an old miner's lamp.

A young blonde girl is hanging upside down from the rafters with strong silver chains, There is a wound on her neck that is continuously dripping into a bucket of blood on the floor, and there is also an IV tube that is continuously introducing blood into the body of the girl.

Her expression was filled with fear, the stricken and frightened look on her face made anyone want to hold her in their arms and care warmly for her.

A tall, thin man in a white coat and latex gloves holds a knife in her hands as he trembles slightly.

Of course, he doesn't have Parkinson's, he's just a little excited.

"Uh... let me go, please!" The woman pleaded weakly.

"Hmm, you still have the strength to speak, impressive, but it's too dangerous!" the young man said and plunged the knife into the woman's stomach, making her squirm.

The woman's expression turned resentful, and countless small teeth protruded from her mouth like the teeth of a shark that continually struggled to bite into some of this crazy psycho's flesh and blood.

"I will kill you, I will kill you, I will continuously suck your blood until I leave nothing but a shell, not only you but also your entire family and anyone related to you, I will kill you!"

It turns out that the tied-up woman is the real monster, a vampire active in various fantasy works, and the evil-looking man next to her is Liam, an "ordinary" person.

At least biologically speaking, he is a normal person.

Liam was surprised by the woman's aggressive attitude, after all, for three days he had been continuously drawing blood from she, so he took his watering can and sprinkled it with holy water.

"Arghhh!!"

The holy water splashed on the woman's body and as if it were high-temperature iron, the woman's body began to emit steam, a terrible screeching sound was heard in the old warehouse.

Holy water may cause them pain, but it is not capable of harming them.

"Okay, I should be fine now, after all, I'm just a weak human..."

Liam let out a breath, even for him, catching a vampire is too exciting.

"Dammit, you're a devil!" the female vampire growled weakly.

Liam turned to the woman and told her. "No, I'm not a devil, but I'm sure I'll catch some in the future for you to meet."

Saying that, Liam took the IV tube and increased the dose of blood, causing the vampire to faint, this is blood of a dead, one of the best weapons against vampires.

Liam looked at the bucket of blood on the floor and smiled to himself. "This should be enough."

Liam grabbed a bucket and headed to the underground of the warehouse, this is a basement that included the old warehouse, now his lab.

He left the blood on the table and picked up an old book with dust and strange patterns, the whole book exudes ancient.

He put it on the table and took various ingredients one after another, turned on the oven fire, and began the distillation.

All agile and experienced movements, he seemed to have done it countless times.

After finishing the distillation and simmering, Liam added some strange plants after pulverizing them, finishing with a handful of ground sulfur.

Blew!

With a bang, the potion is ready, Liam picked up a delicately crafted vial with a whimsical appearance and bottled the reddish liquid.

"Mmm...perfect!" Liam watched his handiwork and nodded proudly.

After admiring his work, he put it in the fridge and picked up a similar bottle.

Liam stripped off his robe and pulled up his black T-shirt, revealing a strange mark beneath him, surrounding him with countless red veins-like roots that continuously expanded from his heart.

"Tsk!"

Liam opened the bottle and drank it straight away, immediately after.

Liam felt a strange energy surround him, his heart began to pound as his senses quickened, and strangely, the red root-like veins began to recede.

"Sigh, you damn witches..." After a while, Liam sighed and changed into his casual clothes.

...

"Hello! My name is Alex, no, I guess it's Liam now, I was just a normal guy until one day after I went to sleep, I woke up in this body, but the most important thing is that I was reborn in the year 2005".

At first, it was cool, I thought maybe it was time to become a billionaire and live carefree for the rest of my life, as the Chinese say, a salty fish.

Unfortunately, after finally obtaining this body's memories, I realized my mistake.

The previous owner of this body was a college student from Stanford University, six months ago he was diagnosed with a new unknown type of cancer, you know that in this type of case, you have no chance of survival.

But the situation is not as simple as he thought when the previous owner of this body was young, his mother died strangely in a paranormal event, which made the previous Liam obsessed with paranormal cases, he traveled all over the world until he reached a small town somewhere in the country, there are no memories after that, everything that happened after was erased without a trace.

Of course, even though he traveled all over the world and managed to get into a university, after spending almost his whole life finding no "paranormal events" and only finding "fake" books and quacks, he decided to settle down and retire from his life as a ghost hunter

Months after entering university, he was diagnosed with cancer, finally three days ago he died of a heart attack caused by the rare cancer.

And this is where I come in, after waking up in this body and knowing my situation, I was about to beg all the gods I know for a chance, but after finding out that the previous owner already did it and even made human sacrifices, I stopped thinking about it and I became lazy.

What do you do when you know you are going to die? That's it, enjoy the life you have left.

So after sneaking into a club and getting drunk to the core, I met a beautiful hot blonde, after bringing her back to my hotel room and spending a night full of passion, I woke up with her face on my neck, at that moment I felt great and the master of the universe.

But after seeing his terrifying and sharp teeth I understood what was happening, so I quickly jumped pushing the blonde girl to the ground, and ran towards the strange belongings of the previous Liam.

Luckily he had a garlic necklace and some holy water, and I managed to catch the vampire.

With some contacts, I managed to rent this old warehouse on the outskirts of the city, of course, under a false name.

After transporting the vampire, I studied ways to contain her in Liam's earlier books.

...

And that is what led me to the current situation, in one of those old books, there is a recipe to create an elixir capable of curing all diseases and injuries.

One of the most important ingredients is vampire blood, unfortunately, it was a scam, since although it heals you from typical wounds, it is not capable of curing curses, and some diseases such as cancer, it only returns them to the initial state, but it was enough to give me time.

Time to find the witches guilty of the curse!
