Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

That cold pain of two fangs digging into her neck made her shudder inside. Her blood and flesh felt a tremendous pain from side to side, making her tremble.

A great scream was about to come out of her mouth in this darkened street when her body fell forward as if she were a puppet whose strings were cut.

Matt quickly grabbed her and disappeared from the scene, running rapidly towards a nearby street. As soon as he arrived, he put the woman on the ground, holding her in his arms, and Alice appeared behind him.

They were in shock, watching the transformation the woman was undergoing before them.

Her flesh moved strangely while a different blood formed inside her. That caused her abilities to conflict and made her feel tremendous pain. Despite that, she could not scream.

Her vocal cords were totally closed.

The first thing to change was some specific organs inside her, such as the heart and kidneys, that were in charge of pumping or filtering blood. These were transformed in an abnormal way inside her. Alice couldn't see it, but she noticed the changes of expression and so on happening in that girl's body on the outside.

But Matt...

He was a little different.

'After sucking her blood, my essence entered her and started transforming her body on the inside. She doesn't need to do it on the outside and normally it wouldn't require changing the flesh, but on this occasion, her flesh and blood are firmly rejecting the new blood that is being created, which is trying to swallow everything else, thus bringing a new body into being.'

It is for that reason that he could see the flesh move as if it wanted to move out of place. Also, her blood seemed to be fighting inside against the blood that was now forming in her body.

That blood represented her future vampiric nature, but her human blood was rejecting this.

It was a drastic and painful change, but soon, that woman fell unconscious with her eyes open.

'Is her consciousness fighting against my essence?' Matt smiled after realizing this.

Then his eyes glowed softly, and he held her in a gentle embrace, only to sink his teeth into her neck again, making her shudder completely.

Suddenly, she could no longer retain what human consciousness she had, and her body fell backward completely, her eyes wide open.

Once that happened, her body twisted hard in Matt's arms, and the muscles of the body ripped hard, expelling a portion of darkened blood into various sections of the body.

Gradually, the body began to recover after that, but the darkened blood did not stop coming out until more than 5 minutes later when the body stopped writhing and calmed down.

During that time, Matt always had the urge to hold her in his arms, so he never let go.

It was a little weird to see what he was seeing, but his feelings about it were different than Alice's, who was just a stunned spectator.

He was watching now as if one of his creations was being born. He didn't see her as his child or anything like that because it wasn't really carrying his blood; all that blood was being created right now. It was more like the birth of a creation.

He felt locked in a room, trying to bring to life a puppet he had created, and somehow, he had succeeded in doing so. He could not explain exactly what he was feeling, but it was a different and special feeling that made him feel good.

Also, once again, he could feel a profound connection forming between this person and him. Only this time, it was a little different.

The connection was not formulated by the naked eye but formed inside. Somehow, his heart felt that this woman was his creation, so he could know her location and everything she did just by thinking about it.

'Could it be that she will feel something similar, when she wakes up?' After thinking so, Matt stared at her for a long while.

From the time the transformation began until she saw the first glimpses of vampiric power in the body of a human woman, Alice was in a deep daze.

No matter how she tried to explain what she felt, she could not. This change was simply too drastic; even though it wasn't a quick change, it was still too unbelievable.

That was why she didn't hesitate to stay there for many hours...

Just before dawn, Matt loaded the woman up and returned to the house next to Alice.

He didn't expect the time he had to wait to be so long.

Once in the house, the hours continued to pass, and little by little, the power built by the mana in this woman's body was starting to turn into vampiric power.

Her human blood was more or less pure, in such a way that it made her have almost 10,000 power at less than 25. And even though it wasn't too high an amount, she is still a talented person, and that was all due to her blood having a certain purity coupled with one of the Three Alignments, that of the heroes.'

'Considering that she uses mana, why is her power shifting to vampiric power, without losing it? If I think about it correctly, mana and vampiric power shouldn't be compatible...' Matt frowned after realizing this.

'Wait... Who says they're not compatible? That book I read, which seemed to have been written by a human turned vampire, isn't that an example of it?'

After realizing this, he felt that something was wrong with his knowledge.

According to Alice's knowledge and the books, a real human could not become a vampire overnight just because. The only possible way was to use necromancy. There may be another way, but neither of them knows.

It is possible to change the race of a living being with necromancy, although it would be by mixing necromancy with alchemy. On earth, such a thing was possible, and Matt witnessed it many times when fighting monsters dominated by necromancers.

That being the case, Matt could think that the man who wrote those books was a person transformed into a vampire using those methods. Considering those hexagonal items he had found lately, it wouldn't be far-fetched.

However, there is an important issue in that aspect, and it is that when it is done in that way, all the previous strength is lost because it is a change of race. The previous blood becomes blood of a different race, as does the body, so this new body needs to get used to its new capabilities properly, resulting in it being strengthened once again.

It is even more evident if you change from a race compatible with mana to a non-compatible one, as is the case here.

But in this instance, Matt is not seeing just that.
