2 Chapter 2 ~ Vlad Alucard: The Vampire Prince Of Darkness

On the ground below the wicked' tree, there lying was a handsome man that can only be described as "Beautiful". His hair was gold while his skin was white; his face was that of an angel but the horn on his head and the wings on his back was that of a demon -

The man - was Vlad Alucard, or perhaps, s.h.i.+ro Kagayami.

...

...

After a few minutes, until the cries of the crows dried out, his fingers twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

[ ...Whe-Where am I...? ] with a weak but gentle voice, s.h.i.+ro uttered.

[ What the h.e.l.l happened...? ] with that question, he started to recall what had happened.

In his mind, he recalls all the things that had happened: the hours he worked in his office, the bugs in the games he fixed, the project he was about to present, and lastly, the things he did before he went back to his apartment.

And a truck running over him - was probably just a bad nightmare.

[ Haah... I should've already been home by now... ] muttering so, he stood up and put a single hand on his head, he tried to resist the pain that was coming out of it.

[ ... ]

( What the h.e.l.l is this...? )

As he caresses his hair, he noticed that something strange was sticking out of his head; it was hard, it was long, and it was rough.

He tried to pull it out but it was sticking on his head so bad that he might've accidentally pulled out his scalp too.

[ Just what the h.e.l.l is this...? No-no-no! In the first place! Where the h.e.l.l am I!? ]

Noticing the place he was sitting at, he instantly felt afraid and confused.

As fear swelled up inside of him, two warm blankets immediately tried to "Probably" calm him down by covering up his body.

[ Uwah... So warm... ]

As the blankets covered his body, he felt relaxed, and the confusion and fear started to slowly disappear... That was until -

[ ... ]

He saw that what was covering him was something like that of a bat-wings with sharp spikes on its many corners.

( ...WhWhat the h.e.l.l is going on!? What the h.e.l.l is this!? )

Looking around he saw that the sky was dark, the moon was red, and the tree behind him was decayed, and something might come out of it if he was in a horror movie.

[ WhWhWhat is happening!? ]

***

The Game "SOUL ADVENTURERS" was made in the year 2041. It was a game that can only be played by using a HeadGear-Set that was still expensive at that time.

In those early times, s.h.i.+ro Kagayami was still a high-school student at the age of 15. The day the game was released was the day he confessed to the girl he liked. He was excited, and he thought that once he confesses to her his feelings, she was sure to accept it -

But just what anyone would've expected, he got rejected.

The shocked he received that day has caused him to reject reality.

He was clearly devastated.

But in those times, his mother, together with her other kids ( s.h.i.+ro's Siblings ) decided to raise a large amount of money so that her son and their sibling would not stay in his room forever without doing anything. They just can't accept the fact that one person from their family was not happy and would just continue to stay forever in his room only reminiscing of the sad thing that had happened.

And so - his mother, together with his siblings, has gloriously gifted him the PC and Gears that he would need to play the new games of his generation, particularly, the game "SOUL ADVENTURES!!!".

And in those times, they did not regret that decision.

Just after a few years of spending all his time playing the game, s.h.i.+ro became one of the most famous players inside the game. He was also able to gain RL money from online transactions, particularly, by selling off in-game items and winning online bets on tournaments.

If anyone would have asked s.h.i.+ro, he would say that those were the best days of his life. That part of his life was "Exciting". And the best thing he got from it, was that he was able to move on from the feelings he had with that particular girl he liked.

~~~

After another few years, his parents decided that it was enough; it was time for him to live properly, to get a real job and live his youthful life.

And so they kicked him out of their house and asked him to get a job of his own.

Luckily, not a month had pa.s.sed since he had won the World Yearly Tournament in-game which made his name very famous, or at least the name of his character. Winning that tournament has granted him the privilege of working for the company that made the game itself, that is only if he has the skills.

But of course, with his many years of experience with the game and the PC itself, he was worthy enough to get the job.

He accepted and applied for it, and that was how he got stuck to the h.e.l.l which was his company.

***

After calming down for a bit, he was able to at least get the gist of what is currently happening.

He was clearly not dreaming, he knows that. He can hear, smell, see, touch, and properly everything, so it can't possibly be a dream.

And the other thing he knows is that he's currently stuck inside the body of his in-game character in the game "SOUL ADVENTURES!!!".

( Just how did this happen...? )

Touching his face, he can only describe it as perfect; from its texture to structure, it was "Perfect". His body was very different too. He was now ma.s.sively tall compared to his small height before, his body is also toned and it was standing rod-straight, unlike the curved back he has before.

His clothes were the Legendary S-Cla.s.s Items he was known for wearing all the time. It was a robe that was layered with gold while the base was deep-red. If it wasn't for the added color of the gold in his clothes, one would definitely describe it as "Sinister".

[ Whatever is currently happening right now... I need to immediately find a way to get out of this situation... ] muttering that to himself as he strokes his perfectly balanced chin, a thought came to his mind.

( I wonder if the game mechanics inside the game still works here... ) - Having these thoughts ran into his mind, he ought to try it.

[ Stats! ] shouting that single word, a tiny transparent box appeared in front of him.

[ Uwah... Now that I think about it... This character's pretty bad-a.s.s... ]

Looking at the stats of his character, all that he can do was gaze on it with amazement.

( Almost all my stats are as high as possible. And now that the Red Moon is in effect, all my stats were even highen by 50%... This character is broken... )

The Red Moon buff. From what he can remember, it was the skill that led to his victory four years ago. If it wasn't for it, he wouldn't be able to win that tournament.

[ But I guess... Maybe I should try using a skill... ] muttering so, he activated a skill in his mind. And it activated almost immediately.

[ Echolocation! ]

( !!! )

He felt that he could see, felt, and sense everything within the radius of at least 10km. It was outrageously ridiculous.

( This can't be happening... right? )

The unknown "Feeling" he's having right now was out of this world, or rather, out of his knowledge. He has never experienced something like this before or even heard something like this happening from anyone.

But having the die to be already cast, he had no other choice but to try it, and try to figure out how it works.

[ ... ]

...

...

With his skill activated, he saw all kinds of both dead, and living things just by closing his own two eyes -

- And most of what he saw were figures of what appears to be human(s) in a large city.

[ I guess... I should go there... ]

Still not having the exact answer of why he was currently in this situation, he decided to head towards the city of humans by trying to use his wings. He thought that he might be able to find some answers.

And so -

The Prince of Vampire - Vlad Alucard flew into the night awkwardly with his bat-like wings.
