My Alter Ego’s Path to Greatness - Chapter 34

Earth’s Vampire (1)

In fact, I had encountered the vampire itself a few times as Hans.

Wasn’t there one when they attacked the factory just a little while ago?

But at that time, Heinz was doing business and he was only a servant, so I didn’t pay much attention to him.

Since I could get the information I needed by reading the memories, I didn’t feel the need to go through the trouble of trying to save it.

So I was taken aback by the vampire from another dimension I suddenly encountered.

And he’s probably stronger than Heinz.

I couldn’t help but be nervous.

“Well, let me introduce myself first. I am from ‘Nocturnia’. It’s been about 5 years since I returned to Earth. The name is… just call it ‘Gamma’.”

A decent appearance, a friendly smile, and a sociable tone of voice.

He looked at me with his beautiful black eyes sparkling.

“Heinz. As expected, he has just returned to Earth and his origins are…”

Now that the situation has come to this point, there is no use in pretending not to know any more.

The moment I thought about that and answered comfortably, I realized something was strange.

The mental power that has been growing rapidly explodes momentarily, accelerating the thinking.

In an instant, time stretched around and space slowly came to a halt.

‘Why am I answering obediently? To someone you’ve met for the first time less than 5 minutes? Because you introduced it first? ‘Is there any guarantee that all the information the author gave is true?’

The moment I had doubts, a strange feeling was detected in the “Mind Hub”.

The power of an alien ability that penetrates the mind.

It was a natural feeling and I couldn’t figure it out right away.

‘The attractive appearance and speech and behavior encouraged people to respond naturally, preventing them from feeling strange.’

The level was quite high, as even the “Myunggyeongjisu” could not be fully defended and was limited to detecting a sense of discomfort.

I don’t know if the reason it wasn’t used openly was because of the limitations of the ability or because they were careful to use it secretly…

‘Mind manipulation type ability. Is this the author’s unique skill? Or his abilities as a vampire?’

I raised my guard against him in my mind.

The important thing is that I was in the middle of answering.

The name is just an entity name anyway, so it doesn’t matter, and the fact that it just returned is just a setting.

He does not show any caution towards him and initially hides his origins.

“…I came from the ‘Dotmere’ dimension. “I don’t know if I’m new or if it’s just not revealed yet, but I couldn’t find any information on the internet.”

“Hmm, I guess it was like that too.”

He continued speaking calmly as time returned to normal.

Gamma didn’t seem to notice anything else and just nodded and looked at me with her shining black eyes.

“I’ve met quite a few vampires, but this is the first time I’ve smelled blood like yours. Isn’t it amazing? “There are many dimensions, many of which contain vampires, and the characteristics of their blood are all different.”

Well, the same goes for other races.

After speaking, he looked me up and down as if observing me.

“You’re a vampire from Dotmere, so what was your position there? This is at different levels in each dimension. “I think you would have been treated fairly well.”

His eyes sparkled.

I felt an alien force digging into my mind again.

I didn’t resist him and just got along with him.

“Well, I’ve reached the level of a mid-level executive.”

“Wow, it seems like it was at a fairly high level. But to increase your strength to that level, you would have had to suck a lot of blood and it must have been a lot of hardship.”

“I didn’t bother to avoid it when necessary.”

And the conversation that follows.

He must have always been talkative, so he opened his mouth constantly.

“It’s because I’m curious. Does that vampire have any unique abilities? I heard that some vampires have regenerative powers that are close to immortality. “I’m really jealous.”

The other side also talks a lot and seems to be exchanging information with each other, but they don’t actually talk about themselves.

I naturally avoided the conversation, making excuses to avoid being suspicious.

“I’m not sure about that. “I’ve never seen any other vampires, so I’m not sure what’s different.”

“Ah… I see. “I said it hasn’t been long since you came back.”

Gamma regained her appetite as if she was disappointed.

I didn’t miss the opportunity and this time I asked the question first.

“But Gamma. You said earlier that you met many vampires. How was that possible? Did you really search for them one by one like you just did? “We vampires are treated like demons, so we have to hide all the time, right?”

“Hmm…”

He looked at me strangely in response to my question and then nodded.

“Well, it’s not wrong. But we’re not sinners, so we can’t stay hidden forever, right?”

He didn’t become a vampire because he wanted to in the first place, so he grumbled that being treated like this was too much.

“If we are to survive, we must stick together. I belong to a clan of vampires. “It’s level 6.”

“Blood oath? Level 6?”

“This is not a good place to talk. Follow me.”

He seemed to have reached a certain level of understanding about this area and suggested that we move places.

Maybe they think they can overpower me at any time.

The place it moved to was a sports car parked on the side of the road.

He got into the driver’s seat and gestured to the passenger seat.

Rumbling—

As soon as I got into the car, the Gamma started up smoothly and took off.

“Where are we going?”

“Wouldn’t it be better to see it in person rather than just hear about it?”

“…Are we going to the clan headquarters? “How can you trust me?”

He burst into laughter at my words.

“First of all, it’s not headquarters. Should I call it a branch of some kind? Actually, there is no such thing as a headquarters. “It’s a form close to a point structure.”

However, it is not a perfect point organization.

After adding that, he thought for a moment and then continued.

“You can just think of it as like-minded people working together in each region. It might be closer to a relay station than a branch organization. “The group gathered like that is called ‘Crew.’”

Even if they had formed a group, they wouldn’t have been able to come together openly since they are demons who usually have to hide.

“And how can you believe it? Aren’t we all in the same situation? “We should help each other in difficult times.”

Gamma speaks with a warm smile.

Those were very touching words.

If it weren’t for the power of the supernatural that continues to penetrate Heinz’s mind even now.

‘Now that I think about it, I think there was a guy who said the same thing before.’

Malcolm, now a reliable colleague, flashed through my mind.

Helping each other in difficult times was also a good thing to say.

“And there’s one more thing you should know. Did I say level 6? On Earth, ‘level’ is the standard for indicating the level of a vampire.”

Because we called each other according to our own standards in our own world, it was difficult to understand each other on Earth where everyone was gathered.

“There were places where it was divided into five classes of nobles, and there were places where it was called Jinjo and Sadoni. For reference, Nocturnia is classified as a chess piece. “I was a bishop.”

So, the ‘level’ system was agreed upon by the powerful vampires representing each region at the time.

“To be exact, it was in Europe. At that time, there were a lot of strong vampires there. “The system established there was naturally imported and applied to us as well.”

In each dimension, their roots diverged to suit the characteristics of the land, but there was one characteristic that all vampires shared.

It was the ‘vampire factor’ contained in the blood that was the basis of the vampire’s power across all dimensions.

The level system measures the concentration of the blood-sucking factor and divides it into details.

“They’re all here. “We all live in separate houses and only use them when we get together occasionally, so it’s a bit small.”

A sports car pulled into the parking lot of a nice three-story house.

Apparently, this guy’s sense of money was different from mine.

“Let’s go in. “There is a device inside that can measure the blood-sucking factor.”

Gamma smiles heartily at me with her black eyes shining.

As if he had no intention of hiding anything anymore, Lee Neung, who had burrowed into his head, began to show off.

I only realized it now, but it seems like long-term conversations were a condition for him to strengthen his mental manipulation.

‘I heard you said a lot. Thanks to you, I got a lot of good information.’

“What are you doing? “Move quickly.”

Does this mean that the situation is over if we have reached this point?

Instead of resisting the force that forced me to act, I obediently got down and followed him into the building.

‘Even though there is blood magic, the barrier is felt only after entering the building. Isn’t the level of concealment a joke?’

While I was following Gamma while calmly appreciating it, the person ahead suddenly stopped in his tracks.

As I followed his frowning gaze, I saw six people and three people standing inside, facing each other.

The unique smell of blood that is felt by vampires.

However, like Gamma, one of them had no smell.

“What is this situation?”

The six people were delighted with his appearance.

At the same time, the woman who did not smell blood, who was standing in the middle of the three on the other side, glanced around.

“You’ve finally arrived, Mr. Do Han-soo. “You waited a long time?”

“Phew, call me ‘Gamma Do’.”

“Okay, okay. Mr. Gammado, do you know why I came?”

She walked in front of Gamma with nervous steps.

Thanks to that, I was able to see her face directly…

‘Even considering that she’s a vampire, I’ve never seen someone this pretty before.’ No, isn’t it? I feel like I’ve seen this before somewhere….’

She’s an amazing beauty.

There’s no way I could easily forget a woman with that much charm.

It was a time when I continued to worry about a strange sense of déjà vu.

“Yes, Jin So-ran. “I don’t know what brought you here, but isn’t it rude to suddenly come and do something like this?”

“under! suddenly? manners? “If you hadn’t unilaterally ignored me, I wouldn’t have come all the way here to see that disgusting face!”

As I watched the two people arguing, I frowned, feeling as if I could not remember.

That face and that voice. I didn’t see it from outside. If that’s the case, then it’s on the internet…?

‘that’s right! Orchid. He was an internet broadcaster. There were a lot of captured photos going around in the community saying it was pretty. ‘I saw it a few times back then.’

At that time, there was a slight difference, perhaps because the makeup had changed my impression.

When I finally remembered, my frustration disappeared and I was filled with mental satisfaction.

While I was feeling happy on the inside, I realized at some point that she was looking at me.

“This is my first time meeting you. Who are you?”

A question asking about this person’s identity.

But I couldn’t answer.

Because he had lost control of his body due to Gamma’s supernatural power.

‘If you want to refuse, you can… but let’s wait and see the situation for now.’

“You are my guest. “It has nothing to do with that, so don’t worry about it, right?”

Gamma quietly blocks my path and fires at her.

But she didn’t back down either.

“You probably know why I came here, right?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. “Can you explain?”

“Are you going to stay like that until the end?”

Jin So-ran gritted his teeth while looking at Gamma.

“They’re doing something by kidnapping vampires! This time, they took a crew member who was under our protection, right? “Did you think I didn’t know?!”

‘Indeed, he was the one who planned to capture the vampires from the beginning.’

Jin So-ran and his two companions increased their momentum and put pressure on him.

Those who appeared to be Gamma’s colleagues also joined this group and a confrontation was formed again.

“For your information, we notified the crew that we were coming here, so if we don’t return, the higher-ups will be notified immediately. “Then you know what happens, right?”

Although she and her group were small in number, their momentum was not overtaken by the Gamma gang.

Anyway, all three seemed to be at a similar level to Gamma.

Rather, Jin So-ran seemed to be stronger than Gamma.

They must have made a deliberate move to attack unexpectedly, taking only the elites with them.

“I guess that person over there was also kidnapped this time? “What on earth are you planning?!”

“Whew…”

Gamma frowned, glared at her and sighed.

If you give me an order and make me deny it, it will only produce an unnatural appearance.

He had no ability to give orders mentally.

“Tsk, you arrogant brat doesn’t even know the subject…”

“Aha~? Are you finally going to reveal your true colors?”

As Jin So-ran prepared to fight, her colleagues standing behind her also prepared for battle and raised their spirits.

“Yes, there is nothing we can do. Catch that bitch. “It is used as an ingredient.”

“under! “I thought it would be easy… gasp!”

Kwazijic—Kwaang!

Due to the sudden attack, she was thrown away with blood spurting from her mouth.

and.

The muscular man who was guarding her back…or rather, her colleague, slowly lowered his fist.
