Reincarnated into a New World As a Vampire

Aldritch, without mentioning to anyone, made his way into the underground space lying beneath the enormous mansion.

He didn't have any reason for not informing anyone of his actions as he wasn't trying to be secretive, but with the system in play, he was sure there would be no mishaps during the evolutionary process, after all, he had done it a few times with others, Lina being the first.

As he approached the huge metal doors, he encountered a girl leaving the place, so he didn't need to knock as the door was held open for him to enter. Once inside, he made his way to Lada's personal quarters where no one else was allowed entrance unless permitted… of course, he was exempted from that rule.

Aldritch pushed the door open, finding that Lada was inside already, alongside Ingrid. They seemed to be in the middle of what would appear to be an important discussion, after all, these two didn't really see eye to eye on a normal day, as their personal duties didn't bring them together at all.

Even then, Aldritch didn't bother asking for details, as he was not as much interested in their discussion.

"Lord."

"Master~"

Both said in unison. The manner and tone in which Lada used to convey her greeting really did throw Ingrid off, making her to cast a side glance at Lada for some seconds before looking back at Aldritch. She was well aware of their relationship, who wasn't? But the sudden change in tone and mannerism was just too drastic for her.

'Is it that good?' the thought crossed her mind as she looked back at Aldritch who didn't seem to care much for them as he gave them a warm smile while drawing himself a seat to sit on.

Recently, being surrounded with people such as Lada and Lina, Ingrid found herself being the victim of detailed sex stories and stimulating remarks. She herself did habour a distant desire to have a taste of Aldritch ever since Lina first narrated perverted things to her, but she never really thought much of it, but lately, her body had started demanding otherwise.

Even though she spent little time with them as everyone was busy with their own work, the little time spent was all it took for her ears to be filled with wild descriptions and her mind restructured without her even knowing, ultimately amplifying what already existed.

Aldritch sat down on the wooden chair before raising his head to look at the two before him as he stated, "if you two don't mind, I'd be using this room now for my evolution into the next rank," he said, nonchalantly.

Lada and Ingrid froze for a moment, dumbfounded… their brains struggled to process what Aldritch had just said for moment before they answered, "as you wish my lord." Ingrid answered looking at Aldritch as their eyes met for a brief moment before she averted her gaze.

Aldritch had noticed something in the way she stared, 'what is wrong with her? Is she alright?' he worried, subconsciously pulling out his system to look at her status screen.

[Loyalty: 89]

<><><><><><><>

'Her loyalty has increased? Good. Then if she isn't up to anything suspicious, why does she avert her eyes like that? Was she always a shy type?' Aldritch wondered.

Somehow, the possibility of her developing a sexual or romantic feeling towards him never crossed his mind, as she had never shown interest.

"We will give you room now master. But if I may ask, what evolution do you speak of when you say you want to evolve into the next rank?" Lada asked, curious as to what he meant.

"I mean, evolving into a vampire noble, the rank succeeding a blooded vampire." Aldritch answered sincerely. He didn't need to hide his apparent weakness from his subordinates, especially his family. Even though most of them had his brainwashing no longer in effect, they still didn't bother questioning anything and just accepted everything, their loyalty was that high.

Practically, anyone with loyalty above 90 was someone willing to kill themselves at his command.

"Oh, I see… that's big news master! I'll arrange a feast immediately to celebrate your advancement!" Lada rejoiced.

"Hey, don't rush, you don't even know how long it will take…" Ingrid chimed in, trying to calm the overly excited Lada who seemed to become a different person in front of Aldritch, giving the fact that she is normally a cold and sly individual.

"Oh yes, you're right. Master, how long will it take?" She directed her question and gaze to Aldritch, as did Ingrid. Even though she didn't show it expressly, she too was joyous following the news.

"There's no way I'd know, so maybe postpone the party until after I wake up." He answered with a warn smile.

"I see. I'll do as you say then. We'll leave now." Lada said before gathering some things on the table and stepping out with Ingrid behind her.

"Ingrid, are you feeling ok?" Aldritch couldn't resist enquiring as he stared at Ingrid.

Ingrid on the other hand felt Aldritch's piercing gaze, sending her mind into a frenzy as lewd thoughts flushed in. She immediately averted her eyes from Aldritch's and looked down. "I-I'm fine, I'm not thinking weird things… I mean, nothing's wrong with me at all!" She scrambles the last part before turning and hurriedly walking away.

'Yeah, something's definitely wrong.' Aldritch thought to himself.

As he watched her leave, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly to himself. It was an undeniable fact that he had come to care about his subordinates, even though not all of them, some of them.

He had thought himself to have been growing weak and tried to fight it at first, but he soon realized it was natural and learnt not to go against it so much… It wasn't as though it had made him less cautious, he had even pulled the status screen to see if there was a sign of betrayal with Ingrid just a moment ago, but he didn't just see them as the tools he used to see them as before… at least, he didn't view the core members in that light.

"I guess even bad guys have something they keep close to their hearts… though, I don't believe it is that close for me…"

Without wasting much time, Aldritch took off his clothes and initiated the evolution process.

"System, initiate the evolution, use 80,000 BP to evolve me into a vampire noble…"

[You are about to use 80,000 BP to evolve yourself by one rank. Proceed?]

"Yes."

[Evolution will start in thirty seconds]

[Evolution will now begin]

[Estimated time before completion of evolution, 168 hours]
