Kai was standing in that clearing and decided that he should start to test out his new powers. Starting with the power of his senses. The first sense he started with was his enhanced senses. He discovered that he could see the fine details of a mosquito's wings even as they were constantly moving and flying at three kilometers away.
The Second sense that he tested was his sense of smell. Kai could smell everything in the clearing and farther, he estimated the distance to be ten kilometers. As he was exploring his overpowered sense of smell something caught his attention. The scent of something metallic and delicious but it was hidden under an unbearable stench of body odor according to his memories.
The delicious scent was coming from outside of the earth smell that was around Kai and he assumed that this earthy smell was coming from the forest and the delicious scent was that of human blood. Kai judged that just a few kilometers away from the forest was a human settlement. Probable a town or a village.
The next sense that Kai tried out was his hearing. He could hear a few wild boars running through the forest, flies and mosquito wings vibrating with each flap and a car engine's that was about nine or ten kilometers away as if purred to life as it was started up and driven away.
The fourth sense he tested was taste as he tasted the various objects in his surroundings and if someone chanced to see this absurd scene, they would think that they had chanced upon an escaped loon and would want to high tail it out of there as fast as their feet would carry them. As Kai licked and tasted everything from the bark of the surrounding trees to the blood that had been dripping out of the boar that he had killed just a short time ago.
The last sense that Kai tested was his sense of touch. Kai estimated that he could feel and knew what was going to and coming into contact with his body from up to five meters away. He could do this as he could feel how his skin was reacting to the air flowing around him and what Kai thought was his sixth sense.
Then next power that kai tested was his speed and agility. Kai started to run at full speed, running around the full perimeter of the forest before returning to the clearing in the forest. Using his judgement his estimated that the forest was about thirty kilometers long and close to thirty kilometers wide as this distance took him ten seconds to completely circle the strange round forest. Meaning that when he ran at his full speed at that distance, he ran 3000 meters surprising himself but that surprise soon turned to contentment as he thought back on when he had researched how much the speed of sound is as this was 343 meter per second. Which meant that he was running at around nine times the speed of sound!
In addition to his physical speed he also found out that if he wanted to, he could think so fast that time seemed to slow down in front of him while time speed up in his mind.
The third power was Kai's physical strength. Kai first tried to punch a relatively large tree with the least amount of supernatural force that he could muster (anything less than that would be bordering on the strength of humans. He knew how to limit his strength instinctually). But Kai got a shock when his fist hit the tree as it exploded with shrapnel hitting everything and Kai himself. Though Kai didn't take any damage from the shrapnel and stood they're in wonder looking down at his fist. Deciding that he would be needing a much bigger and sturdier target so he searched around a bit racing through the entire forest towards where he remembered seeing a huge boulder. Reaching this boulder from the other side of the forest from where his clearing was took just a few seconds. The boulder was ten times his own height (Kai stood at 6 feet 5 inches tall). Upon getting close to the boulder he pulled back his arm and punched it again limiting his strength to the least amount that he could muster.
Kai's fist passed straight through it until his arm went wrist deep into the rock. However, Kai was happy that the boulder withstood the impact of his fist some and as time passed, he increased his strength to see its effect resulting in a cracked and split boulder over time.
When Kai's fist next touched the boulder, his fist and entire arm made its way into the boulder up to his shoulder, like a hot knife cutting through butter. Kai shook his arm while trying to remove his arm from the hole he created, resulting in the already cracked boulder to split apart into a pile of large rocks and dust.
Thinking to himself Kai thought that he should stop his strength testing other wise he would most likely destroy the forest.
Kai moved onto the durability and endurance test as he started extending his arn and placing it on the biggest chunks of rocks of the now destroyed boulder. He then punched his arm with the least amount of supernatural strength, but kai felt like nothing happened except that the rock broke in two and kai felt a slight force touch his arm.
Kai understood that he would need to put even more strength into his punches in order for him to feel something. This continued on as Kai increased his strength over time. When Kai felt the impact of his punch its impact made the ground rumble and a small crater started to form under kai's body surrounding his by about three meters and because he didn't feel any pain he continued as he only felt a little discomfort. He punches got harder and harder and when he punches his arm at an extreme speed ad force a huge rumble was heard in a five-hundred-meter radius as dust clouds rose and slowly drifted back to Earth. Leaving Kai in a ten-meter-deep crater that was fifty meters wide.
He then came to another thought that vampires are meant to have enhanced or rapid healing abilities, so in order to test out this theory he grabbed his upper left arm and ripped I off his torso with pure brut force. Kai felt terrible but he was still convinced that he needed to continue his "experiment."
Though he at first thought is was a good idea extreme pain was overwhelming him and wanted to stop but he had already ripped his arm off making him rethink what he was doing. 'WTF am I doing,' he thought to himself, "why would I go so far as to destroy my own body to test some stupid thing out?' At this point, he understood that he had been mentally damaged to some extent which resulted in a certain amount of his human emotions being lost as a result of the trauma from him dying.
After a second Kai removed appendage started to move and wiggle at the joints and Kai instinctively dropped his arm on the ground. However, it did not just lay there as it stood on its fingers like it had a mind of its own and pushed itself off the ground into Kai's stump and safely reconnected itself. Kai looked at it as he flexed his arm and fingers to see if there were any problems but there were none. It was on the level of an X-men's healing factor like the Wolverine or Deadpool if not way better.
Kai decided to check if he also had any unique abilities now that he'd finished checking out just his physical ones. The abilities he was thinking about were known as "gifts."
"Gifts are supernatural abilities birthed by human emotions before he is turned into a vampire. The gift is usually a superior quality or an ability that was magnified when becoming a vampire that became a type of superior ability.
Kai's theory was that if you died or transformed in a certain way you will have a "gift" that will be influenced by how you were transformed or died. For example, it you're last moment before your transformation was full of loneliness, there's a high chance you will have an ability that has something to do with loneliness. (Alex's sensory deprivation, or influencing your emotions to fell depressed etc.)
Kai had no idea if he had any "gifts," but he guessed that if he did have any it would have to do something with blood, due to him dying surrounded by a pool of his own blood. Though he first checked to see if he had the stereotypical ability of telekinesis, much to his disappointment he discovered that he didn't.
Kai then tried to concentrate and send his consciousness into his body to sense if there was anything there, again failing but he managed to feel some sort of weird energy flowing through his body in constant loop. Kai tried to change the loop of energy by "opening" a hole in the loop and he managed to do so bit couldn't control the amount of energy that flowed in the direction of his head.
Once the energy flowed into his head it stopped once reaching Kai's brain and instead moved towards his eyes. Once the energy entered his eyes Kai could see strands of golden mist course through the surroundings. The strands of mist tended to avoid most living organisms including the plants and trees while touching the minerals al around them.
Kai looked down at his abdomen and saw that he was absorbing the strands of mist like energy and in addition to this he was glowing a faint golden color which he assumed was a result of absorbing the mist. Once Kai stopped changing the flow of the loop, he stopped seeing the golden strands of mist that where causing the golden glow of his body, but he could still faintly feel the mist being absorbed into himself if he concentrated hard enough.
Kai dashed back to the creak that was on the other side of the forest, channeling the mysterious energy back into his eyes and glanced down at the creek. In his reflection, Kai saw that his crimson colored eyed now had a golden glow coming out of them. The Glow was coming from the man rings of mysterious runes that were circling his pupils. Thinking to himself, 'If you look at the runes circling my pupils long enough you could become hypnotized.' Kai though to himself that maybe his theory was wrong if his "gift" is seeing weird mist and causing hypnotism when he remembered that mysterious almost demonic energy that stirred when he first hunted the wild boar.
Now that Kai knew the full extent of his abilities, he discovered that he was much stronger than the average vampire described in the books. He then decided to think of a theory that explained why he was much stronger than the "normal vampire." He finally concluded that he was much stronger because he was the progenitor of his species of vampire in this world or simply was the first vampire.
After making this shocking revelation, Kai decided to stop calling himself Kai (Rejoice) and decided to call himself Kai (Warrior) and for his last name he chose the name Nova (Rebirth), because he wanted to let go of the Kai that lay powerlessly when he lay at the mercy of someone else's mercy to die and let the warrior who was reborn a new from the land of the dead take over.
Now that Kai was reborn, gone from the powerless wimp who died in the attack, in his place stood the Vampire Progenitor who was a god compared to humans.
Kai now had to set goals for himself:
The first – Find a human settlement.
Second – Discover where he is and what year it is.
The last may seem laughable but at the same time most important – FIND SOME CLOTHES!
And so started Kai's adventure, with Kai making his was in the direction of the human scent that he had smelled earlier.
