The sun is shining brightly but because of his passive resistance to the climate, it didn't affect him seriously. It only felt like he's taking a strolling an area in 6:00 pm.
'Being a vampire is not bad. I wonder how make myself stronger. Ughh! I can't wait for that day!'
Suddenly, his face turned gloomy. Because the scattered shells on the sand really irritates him. He maybe a vampire but he can feel the sharp edges on his foot.
[ New Skill: Novice Pain resistance: 1/25 ]- Passive

[ Novice Pain Resistance leveled up! 2/25 ]
[ Novice Pain Resistance leveled up! 3/25 ]
Alex ignored the announcement in the panel and keep walking. Due to the new skill, the pain inflicted by the shells reduced slightly.
"Where the hell are those animals?!" He muttered in his low voice.
Just as he's about to scratch his head, he remembered that he has hightened senses trait on his race. He slapped his head on his forgetfulness.
"Oh yeah, I should activate that trait now since I'm searching for any animals."
>Echolocation: Active - On
>Hyper Smell: Active - On
Alex suddenly felt like something changed after he activated his hightened senses. Sounds became louder that made him cover his ears to reduce it. The fresh smell of the sea and algae entered his nose. Since the echolocation made him uncomfortable, he decided to turn it off.
Soon, he smelled something that doesn't belong to the plants. And he is sure that it is an animal. Alex grinned as he dig his toe to the sand and ran. His speed seemed like it's still normal and doesn't change.
"What the heck?! Should I be faster than this since I'm a vampire? Ugh! Nevermind. I can smell that animal." He said while running.
It didn't took many seconds to find an animal. He entered an area that is slightly covered bushes and trees. But Alex's smile faltered and his eyes widened on unexpected being appeared on his sight. The animal is covered in green dark blue feathers and it seems injured. It's golden eyes are same as the eagles that looks at his very soul.

"What the fuck?!" He shouted and took a step back.
Because of his shout, the little creature step back just like he did and let out a hiss. It looked like he scared the baby raptor. He can't process the information on his head. But how you think properly when you just see an extinct creature in front of you?
'So this is one of the dangers of the island. Wait a minute.... If this thing is a baby.... That means.... Oh shit! I need to get out of here! Or else I will be eaten alive!'
His heart started to beat faster, he can hear it with his hightened senses. Every thumps of it entered his ears. Suddenly, a metallic smell entered his nose that made cringe. Also made him lost his focus on the baby dinosaur. And he is sure that blood have same scent on the deinonichus.
'What? Blood.... And came from further inside.'
Alex look at the baby raptor again to check it's condition. The creature look exhausted but it didn't any have wounds. Seconds later, the raptor fainted due to the exhaustion. He blinked many times before approaching the little one.
'What the hell am I doing?! Looks like I turned crazy right now and trying to kill myself.'
When he kneeled down, he tap the baby raptor five times to check if it is safe to approach. It let a small chirp like small birds. Memories of his childhood flooded on his mind.
However, he knew that is not the time reminisce about the past. Getting out of here is the best decision. But he can't take out his eyes to the baby raptor. He sighed and pick up the the hatchling and hold it like he's holding a puppy.
'Shit.... This is absurd.'
To his surprise, the baby raptor is light to his arms. He knew that it's one of the traits of being a vampire. But he knew that he must control his strength or it will be dangerous.
Alex snapped from his thoughts when he smell something. The scent of blood and flesh get stronger again. Not only that, he even smell that it's a deinonychus. His heart beat louder than before.
'Is that his parents.... No it's not.... Even though they have similar scent of the baby. They are not the same.'
According to some research on his old world, every creature have a unique smell just like fingerprints. And there's no way that those are the parents of the baby raptor that he's holding.
'Shit! I need to hide- no. I need to run because of their tracking skills when hunting some prey. And I am one of the preys.'
There's only one choice for him to be still alive.
Run....
And he bolted away from the predator or predators that will eat him and the baby raptor. The three raptors heard a running creature and they let out some screeches that can be compared to the eagles.
