Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Charlotte, who was there, smiled. She was waiting for him, too, so she simply turned around and ran to him to hug him.

"The stars can sometimes be a way when you're lost and don't know what to do. That's why I like to look at them." She replied softly, as she breathed heavily, wanting to smell his scent.

"Although, I like looking at you more. You're prettier than those stars, and you can guide me to a better way." As she said this, she stared at him.

Matthew lowered his head and gave her a soft kiss on the lips. "You seem to know a lot of things, my Lady. I wonder why you can read me when you haven't seen me."

Charlotte enjoyed the taste of the kiss before opening her eyes and responding.

"It's been over 30 years together, Matt. There's only so much you can keep from me. Besides, I know things about you that you probably don't even know. Tell me, why did you decide to come to this place now? Visiting me is not a good idea right now."

"Are you being monitored?"

She nodded. "I just got out of a punishment. It was supposed to be 5 years of punishment for letting you escape and for that guy's death, but you seem to be moving pretty fast. Thanks to you, I'm now out 4 years early."

Matthew nodded at her. "I see; I seem to have created problems for you."

"Hahaha, well, it's not the first time. In battles, you always tended to create problems for me because your skills were simply terrifying, and getting you into my scheme of strategies was too difficult. I guess now that we're back in our original bodies, things haven't changed. You're still you, after all."

After hearing this, Matthew looked serious. "You seem to know it too." He spoke. Discover more stories at empire

She smiled and sighed, and after they both walked over and sat down by a nearby tree, she leaned against his chest and spoke.

"The world is full of mysteries, Matt. Who would ever think that you and I met 10 million years ago?" She smiled even wider and lifted her gaze to stare at him, reminiscing back in time.

"It's been a long time, my boy. It seems that in this 'new life', we can indeed keep our promises. I wonder, which power will win? My Inheritance of Adam or your Inheritance of Origin?"

Matthew looked back at her. He understood what she was talking about.

It was in his memories of Charlotte's existence.

Just as he was the Son of the Great Dietrich, Charlotte was the only daughter of the Great Adam. A woman of astonishing power and an indomitable personality. The two had fallen deeply in love from the first moment they met.

But they were on enemy sides, and there was a serious problem with that: Charlotte's power was very powerful, and her innate ability was the same as her father's. She was the true Heir of the Human Progenitor. Therefore, it was impossible to turn her into a vampire.

But they both belonged to the same era.

What Matthew had felt some time ago was not a falsehood. His life on earth was not reality; his one true reality was here.

Although he did not know how and why he came to Earth, he was absolutely certain that his soul was bound to this body. So once he lost that vessel, he naturally returned to his original body, reincarnated once again in a body that was already lifeless.

The same thing had happened to Charlotte, the woman in his memories who was frozen before him.

Although he does not know how Charlotte came to be there because his memories do not go back that far, that knowledge helped him better understand his path and mission.

But what is the promise Charlotte is talking about?

Matthew smiled and stroked her face.

"Your human power had an origin. Long before your father, that origin gave birth to an ability. Now, do you know? I am called the One Who Inherits the Origin. Even if you are human and our abilities say it is impossible to change that reality, my heritage tells me I can do it. You just have to give me time, and you will see that my ability will overcome your reality and bring you to my side."

His straightforward way of speaking surprised Charlotte, so she smiled and hugged him, not taking her eyes off him. "Well... If so, then allow the progenitor of humans to experience what it's like to be a vampire. I don't mind losing my power; I don't plan to be the anchor humanity needs. On the contrary, I will be the executioner they fear."

"You seem to be more determined about it."

"The human race does not deserve a place in this world. So, if I will be the last human, then so be it."

The story of this world is long and difficult to tell, but there are key moments in the lives of each of these beings that, with enough force, could change the course of the world. Charlotte's story is one of the most dangerous.

She was betrayed by her entire race, reaching several points where she was almost sold in the past. It is a bit strange and doubtful that such a thing would be so. After all, she was the Heir of the Progenitor of the Humans. Why would they want to kill her? That question is still unanswered, but the reality is that even Matthew was once contacted to sell her to them. That was the first contact between Matthew and Charlotte as well.

That's why Matthew knew that the hatred between Charlotte and her race didn't exist just for the sake of it. That hatred was rooted in many betrayals throughout her life. Even after going to another world, she was not spared from betrayal and ended up dead at the hands of her race.

That's why he stared at her. He sighed shortly after and leaned against the tree behind.

"Don't be consumed by revenge, Charlotte. When we see a wider world, we realize that the world is about to change. If we are to be proponents of change, what will the future hold for us? My father prepared day and night for many years for the coming of a New Age; he wanted to be a propellant of change."

"The war came, and the races fell before him. The Gods did, too, but something still knocked him down. The coming of a New Age may not be as simple as the books say."

"So if our goal is to bring right closure to all the revenges we have, then we can found a New World. But if we allow ourselves to be consumed by revenge and the bloodlust that binds us to the past, then we will not have enough power to deal with it. The New World will come to us, and we will be devoured by fate and its dangerous maw."

Charlotte frowned. "What do you mean? You mean knowing how to focus on the target?" She asked.

Matthew nodded.

"In the past, they betrayed you several times, then they betrayed us recently, and your complaints about them have only increased. All of that makes them a point of revenge of us. But we shouldn't let that consume us."

"Over 40 years living on Earth taught us how to live as humans and understand them better; let's not waste that opportunity. We have the upper hand, and we must take advantage of it, but we must also not let ourselves be consumed by that thirst for revenge that binds us to the past because then we will fail."

"Do you understand me?" He asked, and Charlotte nodded slightly.

"When we were on earth, you mentioned that I couldn't let revenge cloud my mind so I wouldn't lose sight of the path. We must close vengeance with our own hands to make it more pleasurable and see that vengeance as another stepping stone to the top, right?"

Matthew smiled a little. Her words made him travel back to a past more than 20 years ago.

"That's exactly what I mean."

Charlotte sighed a little after that and leaned back to look up at the sky.

"It's hard to look away when even my father is complicit in the damage. The human race is a mistake; I'm sure the world, or the God who created us, would have regretted doing so."

"We are not a race worthy of respect because although it is our actions that will determine that, and we know it, we do not strive to do the good things. The sins enumerated on earth were only a small portion; mankind is even more heinous than that. And they haven't changed in these millions of years; they've gotten worse." Charlotte sighed visibly.

To her, this humanity was a failure.

When a race is soiled from its progenitor to the last of those born on its own account, it is not a race that is worthy of a world or of existing. For that filth is not one small sin; it is millions of accumulated sins that stain the world's beauty.

On Earth, humans destroyed the planet they lived on, and it was thanks to the Mana that this world could continue to exist. But, in time, they sentenced the world again, as there was no way they could have endured the emperors that came after the Ice without the presence of Matthew and Charlotte there.

And in this world, it is not too different; for her, it is even worse.

Even Matthew knows it. There is no one more worthy than her to say that about humanity.

That was why she left him speechless for a moment.
