"Monarch doesn't mean you have to annihilate all other vampires, it's just that, you have to become one true vampire of existence and every other vampire your successor".
" That means I have to fight some decent bosses for that right? " I asked as I knew some vampires must have already regarded themselves as a monarch or some sort of king and my existence would affect them.
"Yes, you are right and smart as well." She smiled making my nonexisting heart skip a beat.
"Listen, the world you are going to is power unbalanced which means one species had taken most of the power and expanded their region vastly. Vampires had suppressed every other species residing there, which is going to harm the world in near future. You have to take control of all vampires and after that ... you will know when the time come". I nodded as I already assumed what I had to do.
" So I just have to eliminate the leaders and take the leash in my grasp right? "
" You don't have to particularly kill every one of them but yeah something like that".
"Then, in that case, I need power you know that right?" I asked as she said I was below the lowest tank of vampires.
"First, I will teach you how to use your powers which you already have. Since I can't grant you a new skill or anything new to your bloodline, I will help you master the things you already have. " I nodded and I was kind of thrilled to know what sort of powers I had.
"Now let's begin your training..." And like that my journey of becoming inhuman started.
First, she gave me a body of a normal adult human with my old face as it was necessary for my training.
She told me about how to release my vampire side and how to make that side total dominant. I was fascinated to discover my new fangs and the power which was surging inside me.
"Here suck my blood, it will help you to unlock your full potential". She gestured toward her pale neck inviting me to bite on it. My throat started going dry like I was thirsty for a very long time. This feeling was new for me. The feeling of walking in the dry sand of the desert and finding an oasis.
Before I could process much, I was already standing by her side. I bent down to her level and printed the mark of my fangs on her delicate neck.
" Ahn~" a cute seductive moan left her mouth but I wasn't in the right mind to think clearly about those things.
The blood tasted so delicious and creamy like I was feasting on the most expensive dessert for the first time. I gulped every mouthful of blood in a real rush and soon enough my body started trembling. I didn't know when but I stopped drinking her blood and now laying down on a bed.
"You did, great child. Now rest and let the evolution inside you take place". I didn't respond and just closed my eyes.
After I woke up, I found myself different. Like I was in super Saiyan mode or something. I wanted to test my powers and fight someone. This was also a new feeling for me.
" Relax yourself, you are releasing too much killing intent. " I looked at her and relaxed soon enough, as I also felt myself in rage.
"So this is the power of a vampire?"
"Yes. And this is the start of it. You will become a lot stronger than this. Now I will teach you how to control your powers and how to enhance it". She started my physical training and how to control my inhuman strength and speed. Since I was going to be reborn among normal humans, I had to control my strength otherwise I would only raise suspicion.
Basic self-defense, strength efficiency, and many other basic things, she taught me slowly and steadily while feeding me her blood from time to time.

" You have to figure out the situation of the world you are going, by yourself. I can just help you with your powers only. " I nodded.
"Every vampire has their unique skill but it's not applicable for the bastards. Only dukes and emperor class vampires possess a skill, so basically you are going to grab attention as soon you reveal your powers. " I nodded and without me asking, she started explaining to me about my skill.
"Listen, the skill you possess is rather dangerous for you but that same goes for your enemies too. " with a clean movement she made a deep cut on her forearm. My throat started to go dry but I already had made some progress on controlling my urge.
"Good. Now focus on my blood and command it". I looked at her confusingly, trying to process what she said. I looked at her dripping blood which was inviting my whole being to suck on it. After calming my mind, I did what she said and tried to control the blood, but nothing happened.
I tried for a whole day but the results were still nada.
" Good, you did great ". I looked at her with a confused look and with a smile, she cleared my confusion.
"My blood flow is not like a human. It won't stop until I don't want it but now my bleeding rate is low, you can see it right?" I nodded as the blood flow is slower than before.
"Your skill is termed as 'Blood Manipulation '. You can manipulate blood more than one way...." She started teaching me different ways, how to use my skills. I can manipulate my blood as well as someone else's blood to form various things whether it's for offense or defense. This skill of mine requires proper concentration otherwise I would end up doing something disastrous.
My training continued for a very long time and before I could realize one year already passed. In the end, I never did it with her because as time passed she became like a mother to me.
"The last thing you have to know is about your bond. You have to consider first, from whom you are going to take blood. You can't suck anyone's blood because of your pure bloodline, so think before you eat understand?" I nodded. By the end of the 15th month, I was ready. My bloodlust was in control and fortunately, I could live without blood for at least a week now. The knowledge about vampires and the outer coverings about other species like Warewolf and dragon, I attained all of it.
"Listen, child, whatever you do and whoever you make your bond relative, don't forget your life comes first okay?" I nodded as I also agreed on this point. If I had my own life then I could save many but if I were to sacrifice it for a single person then it would be utter foolishness nothing else.
"Okay then you are set to go. I wish you good luck for your new life. And please make relation with people in this one not like your old life". She winked at me before my existence again started fading away.
" Wait, can you at least tell me your name?" I asked what I never thought in these months. Usually, I called her master or sometimes mother too, so I never cared about her name, but since this might be the last time I was seeing her, I wanted to know the name of the person who, even without a relation took so much care of me.
"I have no specific name but various people generally call me Lilith..." My eyes went wide as I realized with whom I was residing until now. A small smile formed on my face before Lilith's face disappeared from my view.
"It seems that you have grown closer to her huh". The man whose face I didn't have forgotten even it had been long, came into my vision.
The same nobleman with blonde hair was standing aloofly whom I saw the first time I came here.
" Now you have the training and you know the mission, so I will give you a gift ". A smile formed on my face as I knew where this was going.
" Since you already have immortality, you won't get much benefit if I give you regeneration but still there is a limit where you stop regenerating and eventually die". I didn't respond but I knew what he said was true. A vampire doesn't age according to human standards and they have an incredible default skill of regeneration if enough blood is supplied, but there was a limit where a vampire dies and these limits were unbiased for every vampire.
"Now your gift." A golden hue covered his body and soon the hue traveled to my body slowly.
"Your regeneration is now far superior to any vampire and in place of one, you have seven hearts now." I waited for an explanation. Training with Lilith made me understand to listen first before blabbering something out.
"Good good. You are better than before. Anyway, your seven hearts can be distributed to seven different people. Of course, you can leave one for yourself. The purpose of these hearts, simple, until these people don't die you won't perish, you understand what I am saying?" I thought for a second.
"So it's like Horcrux?"
"Correct but you can't store your heart in a thing okay. So choose wisely whom you trust ". He winked at me.
" Okay got it, anything else?"
"Nah everything is done. What about your appearance. Do you have any reference?" I thought before responding.
"Ban from deadly sin with some changes...". I thought of some innocent characters like Issei or something but in the end, the face of Ban would suit a predator the best.
" Okay then. Off you go boya~".
