- REVISION OF LAST CHAPTER -
"So that f*cker killed me... FINALLY! THANK YOU GOD FOR SAVING ME FROM A SH*TTY PERSON! I'M FREE YOU MOTHERF*CKER!!! SUCK MY T*T YOU DI*KHEAD" I couldn't control myself anymore and started crying.
"F*ck my voice sounds so hot. Now then... why the f*ck was there a screen shown in front of me?" I tried touching air in front of myself but got no response
"I wonder... Status show!"

"WHAT?!"
"I'm a Vampire now???"
- END OF REVISION -
"So do I need to drink blood to survive?" She paled
[Yes, Host]
"What the hell!!?" She looked around and saw no one
"Who said that, and why can't I see you?" She was fully paying attention to her surroundings and still saw no once, nor heard. She was starting to get scared by the second.
[It is I host. The host has asked a question and I answered, as to why you can't see me, it is because I don't have a physical body. I am bonded through your soul.] Answered a robotic feminine voice.
"Wait what? Who bonded you to my soul, and isn't it dangerous for two souls to be in the same body?" Gael started thinking that maybe after his father's murder there was a curse placed on him, bonding him with a demonic or corrupted being. She started shivering while thinking about a possibility of an extremely creepy black-colored being with teeth like a worm, rows upon rows of teeth inside his mind, and bonded with her soul.
(AN: I will call her Gael until we pick a name. I'll probably name her myself in a few chapters if no one has any suggestions. Well probably no one would even read this with so few chapters.)
[You do not have permission to access such knowledge! You are correct host it is dangerous if two souls are either poorly/partially bonded or if two souls have been improperly tampered with. The host's soul has been fully and properly bonded with the system. Currently, there have been found 0 errors with bondage.]
"Ahh, great. Anyways where am I currently located" Gael furrowed her eyebrow while looking around trying to spot a village or a city but to no avail.
[The host is currently located on planet Aerum.] The voice spoke again.
"O...k? But where am I now?" She was about to question why she was joking, but shaking her head she dismissed those thoughts quickly.
[The host is currently located on planet Aerum.] The voice repeated itself.
"FU*K. How should I rephrase this... Where am I currently standing?" Gael was thinking what the hell happened. She thought she asked two different questions, but it turns out that The System either doesn't have too many brain cells or is an integrated A.I.
[The host is standing at the beginning of The Lost Forest.] Answered the voice without paying attention to his complaints both in his mind and out loud.
"Hmm, The Lost Forest. Probably people can get easily lost within this forest." Gael thought to herself and considered leaving the forest.
"So System?" Gael wanted to confirm one of her thoughts before deciding.
[How can I help The host] The voice replied without any change in her tone.
'Probably the voice and tone will stay the same forever. Well, it doesn't matter.' She felt guilty for being angry with The System so quickly. She shook her head and concentrated on finding some more information.
"So can you explain why the hell am I a female?" She couldn't restrain her curiosity anymore and wondered why would anyone even do that.
[You do not have permission to access such knowledge!] Appeared in front of him and was colored red.
"Wow... to think that this was restricted knowledge too. Ok, can you explain how my status screen works? Show skill section and their descriptions." looking again at the status board he couldn't help but wonder about his race's history and background and his stats and skills + their description.
*DING*
Vampire - A mythical race on the brink of extinction. High magic and physical properties. Vampires usually use claws to damage or kill the target, fangs are used to consume food(blood). Depending on where one bites, the strength of fangs, and the defense against an enemy, a paralyzing effect will be applied to the enemy. Vampires have either full black or red hair with red eyes or red hair with black-colored ends with red eyes. Upon seeing a vampire, one would immediately attack due to fear of them drinking your blood. Extremely vulnerable to light.
- STATS -
[HP - An approximate value of one's life force inside of their body. When HP reaches 0 they die.

" "2% chance to steal skill while drinking blood from any living being" Wow. That will be EXTREMELY useful. Steal enemy's stats? This is a system-breaking skill"
"What else..." Gael muttered while looking at other skill descriptions.
"Holy Fu*king Sh*t! WOW... WTF??? "Provides a 75% weakness to [Light] element?" I'll be killed by a single ball of light, what the hell! No wonder my skin was getting red, itchy, and hurt like hell." Gael complained even though she knew she couldn't do anything
"So that's the backlash..."
After some time she stopped at the [Enhanced Growth (MAX)] skill and couldn't help but read a few times just to make sure she is seeing right.
"No comment..." She mutters staring blankly at the benefits of the skill.
After a while of checking her stats yet again and reading some skills to make sure she can milk out their potential to the maximum, she remembered something...
"Fu*k. The sun's already gone fully. I totally forgot about the night. If I'm a vampire my dominant time is at the night. I should probably find a civilization." She clicked her tongue at being stupid enough to forget about time, but then remembered she never had any clue if stats from this world matched ones from games, and she was mostly correct.
After a few minutes of searching...
*GRUMBLEEEE*
"I hadn't eaten anything yet." She instinctively touched her stomach which was grumbling quite loud for a few moments. She knew she has to hunt some animals but there was a problem.
"System, how do I hunt food without any weapon." Although she knew she had fangs, she can't just go full-on to the enemy and hope she'll survive without any injuries.
[Use claws to defend or attack.]
"I don't see any claws on my hands. Where are they?" She couldn't help but glance at her small white hands that didn't have any sharp object connected to them.
[Concentrate on injecting mana through your fingers, they will transform.]
"I can still hold on for a little while. But I can't say I would last for more than 4 hours."
Gael nodded her head and started concentrating on the mana located in between her chest and stomach. She started swirling it around the same place at different strengths and speeds. When she was used to the feeling she started circulating throughout her whole body. After 30 minutes to an hour of training, she was finished getting the basics of mana control. She was about to channel her mana to her fingers but a sound stopped her.
*DING*
[New Passive Skill acquired - Mana Control]
"Hooh... System, show the description of the skill." Gael asked with excitement in her voice.
[Mana Control (Lv.1)]
A skill granted to those that have grasped the surface of controlling mana.
- Grants 5 MP
"Alright, let's try channeling mana to my fingers again, but this time to create fangs." She tried calming herself down and reassuring herself that nothing bad would happen to her.
After channeling her mana to her fingers again but adding more mana, her fingers started to change at an eye-catching speed. Her skin was replaced with metal that was shaped like a tooth. This all happened within 2 seconds. After she thought she caught the gist of it she poured a little more mana and her normal fingers were back in a second.
She continued searching for food but was alarmed quite a few of times by her stomach, indicating she doesn't have much longer. She was curious as to what would happen if she started starving, but quickly shook her head and dismissed her thoughts becuase it was too risky to do, because she could die again because of her curiosity.
*SNIFF* *SNIFF* *SNIFF*
Her eyes started glowing as she smelled something extremely delicious up ahead, and she couldn't ignore anything, anymore because she knew she was already hungry as hell.
"Even if it's a trap I need to see it for myself." She muttered to herself.
After a while, the smell intensified by 2 times and the glow of her eyes intensified too.
She finally heard some sounds and knew she was there. Her food was waiting patiently for her.
Gael hid behind a bush of some sort, but the smell attracted her to the point she was starting to lose herself.
Out of nowhere, she jumped on what seemed to be a normal-looking rabbit except with blood-red fur and some claws on its paws.
She transformed her fingers into claws and swung toward the rabbit's neck. The rabbit however was quick enough to dodge her swing and only got himself a small cut on its stomach.
*GROWLLLL*
The rabbit started growling at Gael like a wolf that lost its paw.
Seeing the blood on her fingers she couldn't help but gulp. Licking her fingers it tasted like soft, tender, sweet, and juicy meat. Her eyes glimmered slightly for a second before returning to a normal glow like before.
"This is delicious!" She muttered as a wide smile spread on her face.
At this point, the rabbit started running toward her with the intent to kill her. It jumped and launched itself.
Gael knew she couldn't get hit by this so she took a side step to the left with a 3-4 meter distance between them and when the rabbit was getting closer to her old spot she swung her arm that was transformed onto his neck and started drinking blood from the fatal wound.
When she finished eating the glow in her eyes dimmed down, and she felt full.
"Phew. That was some rich and tasty blood." She felt like she could barely move from the amount she drank.
"What a waste." She muttered looking at the blood on the floor.
"I.. need to find a place to stay." She said after she had taken a break for a few minutes.
After 15-20 minutes of walking, she saw a building that had a wood-metal door and was connected to a mountain. When she opened the door a window opened up.
*DING*
[Entering Kobold Dungeon Lv.6!]
[Good luck!]
"No FU*KING WAY!"
