"Damn that system," Aaron cursed in his mind, lying on the floor writhing in pain. The villa's mana-infused tiles pulsed beneath him, their faint blue glow casting soft light across the sleek, rune-etched walls.
Blue Star's electric air hummed, the room's mana-crystal chandeliers flickering like a high-tier dungeon hub. The cozy villa, nestled in Skyfall City's neon-lit sprawl, felt like a torture chamber now, the air heavy with his suffering.
The system lied to him. What did it mean little pain? The pain was killing. It felt like dying in the worst way possible. The Vampire Primogenitor bloodline's transformation was a nightmare, like a glitched death loop in a D-tier isekai game. His heart was destroyed and reconstructed from scratch.
Every fibre, every tissue, every cell torn apart and replaced by fresh new counterpart, each pulse a sharp, burning pain. His blood drained completely, not a single drop spared as everything was drained thoroughly, leaving him hollow. The drained blood was replaced by fresh blood produced by a newly constructed bone marrow and pumped by his new heart, a primal tide that seared through his veins.
The circulated blood reached every inch of his body, destroying every cell in his body. The destroyed cell is replaced with new ones pulsating with strong vitality and power. The near death transformation took several hours, each moment a grueling test. Aaron's mind flickered to his demigod parents, their sacrifice in an SSS-grade dungeon flashing like a game cutscene.
"Hah. I thought I was a goner for real. Crazy pain to put a man like me under," Aaron muttered standing to his feet, sweat dripping onto the glowing tiles, his breath steadying in the villa's mana-charged air.
"Wow," he exclaimed amazed at his skin. It was smooth and with blemish, soft like a new born skin. His reflection in a mana-crystal mirror showed a flawless, glowing sheen.
His eyes glowed with blood red, sharp and predatory, piercing the villa's faint haze of mana wisps swirling in the air.
He could feel his senses come alive. He could hear far, several meters, the chatter of Skyfall City's merchants drifting through the walls, their voices crisp in his ears.
He could see far as well, catching dust motes dancing in the sunlight streaming through rune-etched windows. Every bit of blood in his body was under his will to manipulate, waiting for instructions, with his bone marrow and heart ready for the task of producing and pumping infinite blood. The power thrummed like a cheat code, his veins pulsing with raw energy, like a maxed-out stat in his favorite RPG.
Overall he felt his strength rise greatly, a surge that made his body hum with potential.
"Guess I'm a vampire now. Sweet," Aaron chuckled bringing his status up to qualify his growth, grinning like he'd pulled a limited-edition SSR in a gacha roll. The interface materialized, its holographic glow casting faint runes across the villa's sleek walls, the air humming with system magic.

Aaron was pleased with the bloodline. Just like he had expected from a vampire. *Like I'm the MC of Vampire Overlord: Reborn,* he thought, picturing himself in a crimson cape, smirking like a shonen antihero under the villa's glowing chandeliers.
"I wonder if sunlight has an effect on me, system never said," he muttered, then face palmed himself immediately. He was touched by sunlight from his window, which meant he was fine, what would have happened if he was affected by sunlight? Well, what if stresses the mind with little gain, so why think over them. The villa's rune-etched windows let in warm rays, bathing his flawless skin harmlessly. *No Twilight sparkles, thank the system,* he thought, chuckling at the dodged cliché.
Aaron emptied the consumables he was given the previous day, his strength having a little boost, but a boost nonetheless. The elixirs glowed like mana potions, their rune-etched vials humming softly in his hands. Mana orbs pulsed with faint energy, and a bitter herb zapped his tongue like a glitched circuit, each item a rare drop from his Lucky Halo's loot blessing. His strength ticked up, a small but clutch boost for his vampire frame, the villa's air crackling as he flexed his enhanced muscles under the chandeliers' soft glow.

Aaron took his bath, the villa's mana-heated water soothing his enhanced muscles, steam rising like a dungeon's mist. He threw on a sleek black jacket and fitted pants, looking like a shonen MC ready for a boss fight.
