121 Evolution
The thought of creating his own personal vampire army did come to mind, but Victor looked past it almost immediately. For now, that was not his focus. Of course, one could argue that Victor could simply use his own vampires to create more vampires as these vampires will be able to do so after they grow a bit from simple fledglings, but what would be the point of running the human race into extinction really? There were many factors that came into play there, and it was good knowledge not to do so.
After eating all the remaining bodies and getting the evolution materials, Victor was ready to begin his evolution. If not the major reason, with a house of his own, he could now freely do things like enter evolution without any worry in particular. There were those like Vince, but unless the world had tired him, he wouldn’t dare, not in his right mind.
“System, begin evolution.”
–
[Starting evolution process]
[You will lose consciousness during the evolution process. Make sure you are in a favourable location]
–
[You will now lose consciousness as evolution begins]
…
After a while of what seemed like just a brief moment, Victor was greeted with the warm and calm system voice, as it read out the notifications that popped up in the system interface as system notifications.

(A/N: I couldn’t find a better way to articulate that, so I called it essence. If anyone can come up with something better, that’ll be much appreciated. The vampire noble thing was so that we would have an idea of what his rank is in the vampire society. Also, for the race, I just couldn’t write Vampiric Infernal Zombie Lord, nah G, that’s just too much, so bear with it.)

Victor got up from his bed slowly as he felt the changes in and on his body. As for the physical changes, nothing was too different. He didn’t feel any taller or more handsome, the real change happened inside of him. It would seem that the vampires turned out not to be completely undead after all.
After the evolution was complete, Victor could immediately fell that his emotions were a little loose than they normally were. It wasn’t to the point where he would shed tears or do anything cringe that could cause him to vomit black blood, but it was quite evident. To be honest, he used to think that the day this happened, he would only realize his emotions where back after some absurd scenario happened, but it turned out he was wrong.
For now though, Victor couldn’t say exactly how much of his emotions had become present, so he left that for later. Something that seemed to be going out of hand was his repertoire of skills, it was simply absurd. The number of skills that Victor hadn’t used more than twice couldn’t be counted in one hand, and he had just updated that number.
With his healing factor now, he no longer needed a skill for it, and his recovery skill now could work as a great supplementary skill for his natural healing factor.
As for the skills and the new perks that had been added, Victor decided to leave them for a later time. At the moment, the mirror was his interest. Though he didn’t really feel taller, Victor knew he had grown in height a bit and wanted to see how much.
Victor was now 6’3ft and had a not too lean muscular build with very condensed muscles that also seemed too flexible to be legal. His hair that was starting to have a shade of white was now completely black, as black as soot. His green eyes had also turned into a very dark shade of red. The most incredible change though was Victor’s face. If he was to step into the human society, even the one in this world where superpowers ruled, he would easily be considered a once in a lifetime model. It wasn’t like he had become some Korean dull that delusional girls dreamt about, nothing like that, but his face also held some beauty in them.
“I look like those perfect vampires in anime I used to watch back on earth.” Victor said out loud as he examined himself before the mirror.
‘I remind me of castlevannia… I will never be gay- never be gay.’ Victor rebuked in his mind as an image of the vampire from the show came to his mind. If he was to say anything, he would say that he looked more like the young vampire’s father, only a more handsome version.
‘Now, if only my supposed to be woman didn’t kill me, the story would have been complete.’
..
Victor led his lips apart, and the first thing he noticed was the slightly pointed canines, but at least his teeth had become commercial worthy for the best brands. Another thing he noticed had changed was the saliva that was always present in his mouth at the back of his teeth. Seeing this change, Victor needed no explanation. The rot bite had evolved to be in some kind of gland or something.
‘The more I look into these things, the more I believe them to be reptiles.’ Victor said in his mind before heading back to his bed, referring to vampires.
The stench he always had to worry about had also disappeared completely, and now if he wasn’t imagining it, he had a particular natural scent on him that smelt quite appealing. ‘I always thought those vampires were bad at taking care of their castle, turns out their individual scents could remain on things. How didn’t I think of it?’
