Chapter 1 The Baron's Son

Spring in the northern border of the Glorious Empire always comes very late.

It was not until early April that the wind and snow that had been raging for half a year finally retreated unwillingly. The warm sunshine once again came to the north, bringing the vitality of reviving all things.

But not everyone seems to like such bright sunshine.

For example, this man has just walked out of the grey castle.

He wore a leather triangle hat with the brim of the hat that was pulled low, completely covering his eyes, but he still seemed to feel the sun was so dazzling that he raised his hand and pulled the brim down a little.

The man looked seventeen or eighteen years old, tall and handsome. He was wearing a shirt with a black background and red pattern and a crimson cross-patterned knight boots wrapped around his knees, making his already fluffy black pants swell up, and looked very noble against the backdrop of a burgundy coat that was almost knee-length.

But his face was particularly pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.

"Master Colin!"

"Master Colin!"

...

Along the way, the servants in the grey castle saluted and greeted the man.

However, this young master Colin seemed to be worried and responded to the servants' greetings.

After a moment, he finally stopped in front of a small hut, as if he was hesitating whether to go in.

“Meow~~”

At the corner of the wall, a kitten screamed dissatisfiedly, as if blaming the man for blocking his sunshine.

Colin Angelire came to his senses from his meditation, looked at the kitten at his feet, his frown slightly relaxed, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

He squatted down and reached out to carry the kitten in front of him.

"Meow!" The unbearable kitten opened his teeth and claws for a while, but could not break free from Colin's claws. So he calmed down like accepting his fate, just trying to open his eyes and stare at the stupid human in front of him.

Colin's fingers gently stroked the kitten's slender neck, as if he was hesitating.

"Sher—" Seeing the human in front of him slowly revealing his sharp tiger teeth, the kitten grinned at him without being outdone.

The man and the cat confronted each other for a moment, and Colin suddenly laughed and put the kitten back on the ground.

"Meow! Meow! Meow~" It seemed that he had successfully defeated the stupid human in the confrontation just now, and the kitten screamed proudly.

Then it skillfully lie down, turn over, reveals its belly, and signals to "defeated generals" to come and serve his master immediately.

Unfortunately, the stupid humans ignored it and got up and walked into the hut.

The busy maids in the house were surprised when they saw Colin, and quickly stopped the work and asked carefully:

"Master Colin, why are you here? You have to wait for dinner for a while. If you are hungry, we can prepare afternoon tea for you first."

"No, I'll just go around." Colin glanced around the kitchen and saw the reindeer tied around the corner, asking, "Is today's dinner venison?"

"Yes, Master. venison stewed with carrots, and vegetable soup, butter bread and wine."

Colin touched his chapped lips: "No wine is needed, prepare me a glass of deer blood."

"Okay." The maids were a little surprised, but nodded.

In their impression, among the owners of this gray castle, only the Baron Master likes to drink deer blood, while the taste of Master Colin has always been very light.

After Colin finished his explanation, he turned around and left, but when he walked to the door, he seemed to remember something, so he turned around and ordered:

"Add another portion of garlic, raw."

"Okay, young master." The maids responded quickly.

At the same time, I felt in my heart that Master Colin's taste is getting heavier and heavier...

——————————

As night fell, the dining room on the top floor of Grey Castle was illuminated by a row of candles and flames in the fireplace. The layout in the hall was quite luxurious, but it also had a rough atmosphere.

A kite shield carved with a roaring bear's head is hung above the fireplace, decorated with paintings of various styles, and animal head specimens used to show off their master's force.

"Young Master, the wine cellar just bought a few barrels of white wine produced in Winster Manor a few days ago. Do you want to try it?"

After the maids arranged the dining table, the housekeeper Yimon stood behind Colin with his hands tied up and whispered:

"Last year, Winster had a short rainy season and plenty of sunshine. The quality of this batch of wine should be very good, just paired with tonight's venison."

After learning about Mr. Collin's abnormal behavior in the kitchen today, Emon was really worried.

The rude Baron Angeles was hopeless in Emon's heart, but for Master Collin, the butler who was determined to enhance the taste of the Angeles family had great hope.

But unexpectedly, Master Colin actually asked the kitchen to prepare deer blood and garlic today!

Emon felt that he had to do something.

The Angeles family must be elegant!

"Okay." Colin nodded in response to the butler's response.

Emon smiled with relief and quickly poured Colin a glass of white wine.

"What else do you need?"

Colin waved his hand: "No, go and do it."

"OK."

As the butler's footsteps disappeared outside the door, Colin was the only one left in the empty restaurant.

His father, Baron Angeles, was fighting outside, his mother had passed away for many years, and his sister had already married, so Colin was the only one sitting on the empty and narrow dining table.

However, he didn't seem to feel lonely at all.

After quickly finishing the food in front of him, Colin was stunned while drinking white wine while watching the remaining deer blood and garlic.

After drinking a glass of wine, he finally picked up the glass of deer blood, frowned slightly, and then sent it to his mouth—

There was no expected fishy smell, nor any nausea, and Colin drank it all in one sip.

A little sweet.

Colin licked the corner of his mouth, not knowing whether to be happy or sad.

"Did you really go through time and become a vampire?" Colin murmured in a low voice.

Then he put down his cup, took out a roll of parchment from his arms and spread it on the table, recording it in words that do not belong to this world:

【Ordinary food cannot produce fullness.】

【Drinking deer blood can bring significant satisfaction and restore physical strength.】

【Other blood, to be tested…】

Putting down the quill, Colin sighed.

What he hopes most now is to have something like "Newbie's Time Travel Guide" and "Vampire Survival Manual" that can be used for reference, without having to guess and try it out by himself.

Even without these, at least you have to travel through time to become an existing species in this world so that Collin knows clearly what he is, what upgrade routes he has, and even goes to a teacher or something.

But unfortunately, there is no record of vampires in this other world similar to the medieval Western world.

There are elves, orcs, trolls, Nagas... and the giant dragon that once ruled the world but is now extinct.

But there are no vampires.

Colin felt that he might have become the first vampire in this world.

This made him a little worried.

Because in his original world, vampires were simply creatures that only existed in fantasy.

How capable they have and what weaknesses they have are all imagined.

And the settings in different works are not exactly the same.

So, in order to fully understand his new body and new role, Colin can only do his own experiments now...

So far, he found himself really similar to the legendary vampire.

Photophobia, bloodthirsty, immortal...

Yes, I'm not dead.

Because, just when he came through this morning, he discovered-

A dagger was inserted into his chest.
