I closed my eyes and started the simple incantation of summoning the undead. I felt a lot of experience leaving my body, and I heard people gasp for air. I know what I am summoning is weak, but allow me to summon undisrupted. A message appeared in my head. It's like from a status board. It has a message that no matter where I move my eyes. It remains there, telling me to do something.
Please sacrifice blood for this summon. Experience points are not enough of a requirement.
What the hell? Do I have to cut myself and offer blood? That is something criminals do with their old ways of thinking. Can I not provide my blood? Yet, if I don't, will I fail? If I don't, I will embarrass myself in front of others. Not only will I embarrass my parents, but I will also get made fun of.
I am in a dire predicament right now. Do I stay here like an idiot, holding out my hands with my eyes closed? Or do I do what the message tells me to do? Even if I do what I am told, I still have to cut myself. I do not like the idea of pain. Nor do I want to put myself in pain. I constantly need to put myself in emotional pain since society demands me to interact with others every day.
Now, this message is telling me to make me feel physical pain. I mean, sure. I don't have to cut myself. I can make myself bleed in other ways, but they are more painful. More importantly, why does something insignificant want me to use blood?
Even if I cut myself and use it to summon an undead rat, I will show my weakness. Not only would it take experience points but my blood as well. To summon something so weak, it would die by accidentally stepping on it. I wouldn't mind the sacrifice if I wanted to summon something more critical.
I now hear the murmurs of others. Such as "What is he summoning?" or "Is this all for show?". I even hear some girls doubting my abilities, which hurts the most. Listen, me! Your name is Kentsugiri Helm. You are supposed to be a proud member of the Helm family! You must do what you are told and worry about the consequences later.
I grabbed my curved blade from my sheathe, and everyone's murmurs went quiet. I put the blade on my wrist and then proceeded to cut into it. I felt someone grab my wrist, trying to stop the bleeding—people were also panicking around me. I heard my mother cry in confusion.
I felt that someone wrapped a blanket around me, but the bleeding didn't stop until I heard a loud ringing sound. Gasps were heard as murmurs grew into panic. I opened my eyes after someone hit my head. It was with something soft, so I expect it to be boobs. When I opened my eyes, I saw something scary. It was some type of upside-down star in a circle floating in the air.
Now that is creepy. I remember reading about blood sacrificing using symbols. Never heard about floating symbols. Symbols in general creep me out. Now I have to deal with one floating in the air. The symbols is getting darker and it is hard to make out the original blood red color.
Soon the room turned pitch black. No light being able to be seen. I can now here panicking from many people in the room including my dad. Who is usually able to be calm in a tense situation. I rubbed my eyes since I thought I saw a figure. Where I think the weird circle was once before.
What I heard after seeing the figure. Was a lot of metal candle stands landing on the floor. Then I heard a lot of candles being lit. Soon the figure who was hard to see. Become very easy to see and I saw her beauty. Her black hair and pale skin. She is a vampire?????
