Hmmm… So… I guess walking off into a forest when you know absolutely nothing about where you are is a bad idea. Who'da thunk? Anyways, I'm sitting by a little pond looking at my reflection and I must say I'm fucking adorable.
I've got big red eyes with medium length grey hair which should look kinda creepy. That is, if my face wasn't so damn cute! Who the hell would be scared of this little angel's face! I feel like my face could charm satan! Though, the bloody hole in the center of my dress kinda offsets the cuteness and makes it creepy all over again. If I were to have a broken leg or something you'd think I was a zombie.
Anyways, I'm lost. I thought I'd be hungry or something since it's been a full day since I walked through here but I'm just thirsty… The vampire kind of thirsty...
Imagine stuffing your mouth with cotton balls, taking them out after an hour, then stuffing more in! Drinking water doesn't help either! So obviously I came to a conclusion… BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD LOLI!
Basically, if I don't get enough blood I go berserk. So I guess I went on a bit of a tantrum through the forest because when I woke back up I was covered head to toe in dried blood and animal parts. Also, there's a bit of cloth on my shoulder but eh, animals can wear clothes right? Ok yeah I definitely attacked someone, but for some reason I don't feel the least bit bad! Anyways, I got a lil stronger than before now!

-----------------------
I guess 30 gallons is alot cuz I remember donating blood before and getting a little light headed. And that was only a pint! I walked over to the lil pond again and washed myself off. Vampires have soft ass skin! Wait… Not ass-skin. Well, they do but that's besides the point! My skin feels so soft and my hair does too! I feel like I'm the ultimate model for those shower gel commercials.
Anyways, I stop admiring my adorable and soft body and sit on a rock near the pond with my clothes sitting next to me, air drying. Obviously I'm a little nervous because I'm a naked little girl in the middle of the woods… Which kinda sounds like something you could make a religion out of...
Even if I'm probably the scariest thing in this forest it's still a little terrifying.
I guess old habits die hard huh? I always hated being in the forest. All the random noises that just try their absolute hardest to freak you out, especially foxes! I know what foxes say! It's a terrifying screech! I got lost in the forest once as a kid and I just remember always feeling like something was watching me. I'd hear limbs snapping, low growls, and worst of all no birds. Of course, I may have been hallucinating considering I was little but it was still scary!
Although, it's still better than the ocean. Fuck the ocean.
No, I will not explain myself.
I sit on this rock for a couple hours before feeling my skin start burning. This place is definitely much more different than earth. There's a pretty good ozone layer. On earth, I'd burn after like ten minutes in the sun. I get up and feel my clothes and they're still damp, so I start walking around the pond into the shade trying to see some fish.
I see a green fish with long whiskers. I'm talking like ten feet long. It sent the whiskers towards me and I was about to reach out and touch them when I got a warning from the system.
[Those whiskers contain paralysis poison.]
I jump back and use blood claws to cut its face in half. Kinda nasty honestly. I use blood absorption on the corpse, and am surprised by how awful it feels having fish blood come into my body. Kinda feels like being covered in slime. Obviously, the little bastard fish didn't give me much strength. Seems like even things that reach a.. Whisker… Out for you are evil.
[I'd recommend collecting those whiskers as they can be used in many medicines, specifically anesthetics.]
"And how exactly do you expect me to do that?"
[Just store it first.]
"Okay, now what?"
[Say inventory.]
"Inventory."
---------------------------
[Inventory:]
[Cursed Sword of Phantasma]
[Holy Spear of Kraxis]
[Whiskerfish: Loot?]
--------------------------
The word loot is surrounded by a box, making it seem like a button. After I press that button, the whiskerfish turns into whiskerfish meat, whiskerfish scales, whiskerfish fins, and whiskerfish whiskers.
"Ah, convenient!"
After that, I waited for a little longer before putting on my newly washed-now red dress and continuing to walk through the forest. I'm trying to find a village to take over. Sounds evil huh? Well, I personally think that draining the blood from someone until they die is more evil than turning a village into thralls so they can give me a little bit of blood each. Just enough to where I get stronger and don't lose my mind, but not enough to affect their lives negatively. Even if I would have no problem just killing them all I'd still prefer not to do that cuz I don't want some self-righteous prick with blonde hair coming after me like with the queen.
After walking for hours, killing any monster that targeted me and absorbing their gross blood, I find a… road? Yeah, a dirt road that seems to be rather lightly traveled since the grass nearby is starting to grow back over it. The only reason I can tell it's a road is the fact that there's no trees whatsoever to my left and my right for as far as I can see. Huh, there's someone coming down the road from the right. It looks like a woman in a dress holding the hand of a smaller person, probably a kid but I dunno hobbits might be real here and she got freaky with one. As they get closer, I use blood manipulation to make my face, arms, and one of my legs covered in blood to make myself look injured. I trudge towards them and as they get closer I say; "p-please… Help… Me…" And I fake passing out in front of them.
-----------------
"Oh my!"
My name is Angie Freylbern. I was walking back from my workplace in town back to my house when I came across a little girl covered in blood! The poor thing had tears streaming down her face while begging for help! Then she just passed out! I had my little Janet with me when we came across her. The girl can't be much older than Janet! Her hair is grey which is a bit odd, but I've heard people blessed by mana tend to have hair colors we deem "unnatural."
I pick up this little girl and start walking towards the village when I feel her move a little bit. She looks up at me with glowing crimson eyes. It was then that I realized how big of a mistake I had made…
--------------------
I open my eyes to a woman screaming at me and dropping me on the ground. Of course, I figured that my bright red eyes are what caused this freak-out. So I very quickly bite her leg and use Thrall Enslavement on her. Why didn't I use Bloodline Transfer? Cuz I don't know her nor do I feel like giving her free will. Most likely, her entire town will be turned into thralls. After the skill finishes, I turn to see her daughter throwing a very small ball of fire at me. I don't even flinch as the fire barely feels warm to me. I look at my status to see exactly how much damage she did to me:

Obviously, she did jack shit to me. I take a look at her status.

--------------------
Oooooh! I like her! I may make her a full vampire one day! But for now, I just grab her arm and bite it… HOLY SHIT! HER BLOOD TASTES SO GOOD! I feel my strength going up insanely fast! I quickly stop myself because the girl started to look sickly and transfer some of my blood into her. Yeah, I went ahead and did bloodline transfer on her. I've got a feeling that it'll be really beneficial in the future to make this one a part of my "family."
I feel like a mob boss when I say that. My family will now be called the Fazoli's!... That's a joke. It'll still be called Phantasma.
Anyway, both the woman and her daughter pass out and I sit there waiting for them to wake up.
"Hey, Eve."
…
"I'm talkin to you, system."
[Oh, am I known as Eve now?]
"Yeah, since you're called the Evolving Encyclopedia I figured Eve would work well."
[Very well.]
…
"Eve, is there a way for me to hide my eyes? Or like, change their color?"
[Yes. You just need to stop supplying mana to your eyes. Red eyes are pretty rare, but it is generally accepted that they make someone more compatible with fire magic.]
"If that's the case, why did she freak out? If red eyes are so accepted?"
[Because your eyes were glowing with a straight slit down the center instead of a normal circle. The people of this world just rid themselves of a legendary vampire "threat." Generally, your eyes would be accepted if it weren't for the war.]
"Ahhh, so they're like the people that did the witch trials?"
[Similar, however this threat was a REAL threat.]
"Alright, well enough of the tangent. How do I stop myself from putting magic into my eyes?"
[If you focus on your eyes you will feel a small feeling that you've never had before.]
I do as Eve says and start trying to focus on any new feelings I have in my eyes. Sure enough, I feel what seems like a small electrical feeling in my eye. It's not necessarily unpleasant to be honest, but it does feel weird.
"Alright, I can feel it. But, how exactly do I stop it?"
[Imagine that electrical feeling as a wire, and then imagine that you're snipping said wire.]
"Okay…"
This part was very difficult because I for one have never snipped a wire before. I've seen my dad doing it before though. I get the image in my head that the electric feeling is a small copper wire, and feel myself taking a set of the snippers and cutting it. Sure enough, I notice the electric feeling is gone.
"Did I do it?"
[Yes. You won't be able to see in the dark anymore like before, but you will be nearly indistinguishable from regular humans.]
"Sick, alright now all I have to do is wait for these two to wake up."
