Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine

"Haah..." Natasha exhaled a long sigh as she sat inside the guest room while wearing just a nightgown, even though it was early morning.

Well, for vampires, it was not uncommon not to follow the routines as humans of waking up early and going to work. They wake up anytime and sleep anytime. It all comes down to keeping oneself busy, or vampires are known to be the most chaotic kind after the beast race.

'That woman is in bad shape...' Natasha thought back on Jullie, who was suffering quite a lot because of lack of blood. It could have made a human pity her and feed her whatever she desired.

However, Natasha was unbothered. She has trained several new vampires that's why she has long gotten over such emotions that could make her give in.

For Jullie's sake, she needs to remain thirsty unless she completely loses it and breaks Natasha's defenses or gains control over her mind.

'Well, it will be fun if she breaks out of that room.' A grin, that could have made one step back in nervousness, appeared on her face.

Soon her eyes landed on the several boxes lying in the guest room—the gifts she received on her birthday.

Generally, she let them pile up before distributing them to orphans, but right now, she suddenly felt curious about a certain gift from a certain someone.

Getting up, she approached the small hill of the gifts before trying to find the one she received from Alex.

She clearly remembered that he gave her quite a big box as a gift. She wasn't curious to open it at that time that's why she threw it with the other gifts

However, now, she was interested in knowing what he gave her.

"Found you~" With a grin that exposed her sharp canines, she pulled the familiar gift, letting the others fall to the ground.

She felt rare excitement building in her belly as she sat down on the bed and began tearing the gift wrapper.

With each fragment of the box that appeared, she felt her excitement amplifying.

*Tear*

She finally got rid of the wrap and was met with a long black rectangular box.

Taking a deep breath, she opened the box—and instantly, her eyes widened,

"...ah." she has forgotten how long it has been...since she used it. Stay tuned to My Virtual Library Empire

The first weapon that made her a threat in the Blood Domain, and if not for Azeroth, she might have never tamed her lust for battle.

The first weapon she got so fond of, but with time, she forgot how it felt to wield it.

The weapon of a huntress.

A whip.

With her fingers trembling she slowly took out the long whip. Her cheeks were tainted red, which was unnatural for a Vampire, as she held the whip close to her chest.

With a feverish look, she muttered under her breath,

"You know me too well...father~~"

A Curse is the end. Death. Devouring is its destiny. The being that was used to end a war. And Alex has embraced the Curse in such a manner.

....but never did he think that the blood which was made to devour would actually give birth to something.

"Woah..." Liriel exclaimed, her eyes sparkling as she witnessed a miracle taking place as Alex's blood brought the dying plant back to life.

It happened before everyone's eyes so this was not something she just imagined.

Alex couldn't believe it himself...his blood was used to resurrect something. Isn't that a cheat ability?

Hector had a hard time believing in what he was witnessing, as he asked, "How is this possible, Sir Akran?"

The elderly elf explained, "This plant was once the part of the Mother Tree. I had plucked it away for some experiment but after hearing what Liriel told me about you, I brought it along."

Alex raised his brows, "So you mean to say..." He still was unsure what he should make out of this.

Akran explained, "Your blood has the essence of the Mother Tree that's why you were able to reenergize the plant. However, you can't use it to bring back other dead plants, and that goes for humans as well."

Alex heaved a sigh, "I wasn't expecting that much...but what about Rebecca...how did it work?"

Akran hummed; cupping his chin, he responded, "Not everyone can use your blood as they deem right, but surely those whose source of nutrition is blood can absorb the essence that lies dormant in your blood. For example, your Vampire friend."

Alex nodded; he was slowly understanding, "So you mean to say those who can gain benefits from blood, most likely just the vampire, would find my blood beneficial."

Akran nodded, but then he added, "There are those, too, who experiment on one's blood to mutate beasts and even Soulless, so be careful to whom you reveal this mystery of your blood."

Alex nodded, "I don't generally share these things with anyone. The problem lies in your granddaughter..."

Alex turned towards the little girl beside him with a questioning gaze.

Knowing his granddaughter, Akran was expecting her to agree, right away, but, "I will tell everyone in the village."

"..." Alex was dumbfounded and so were the other two.

Soon, the man to whom the office belonged, asked,

"It will be quite problematic for Alex, little lady. Why would you do such a thing?"

Just as Alex expected...this girl wasn't right in the head. And why doesn't she blink?!

Liriel turned towards Alex before she spoke her intention, "If you don't want me to tell everyone about your secret, then accompany me for the whole day and let me observe you."

Alex was taken aback by that request, "Why do you want to observe me? I ain't anything special though..." Well, he was feeling a bit awkward saying that, since he, in every sense, was special.

Sigh.

Liriel casually shrugged, "I just want to observe a human, going about their day. I won't disturb you often and you can bring that pretty blond girl along as well."

Alex heaved a sigh; tomorrow was going to be a long day.
