Chapter 8: Studies about the World
Chapter 8: Studies about the World
A year had passed since Dante met Morgana, although Morgana didn't show up much at the Crisol Castle, the current residence where Valentina Scarlet settled.
During this year, Dante finally mastered both his speech and walking. He was now approaching his second year; indeed, he had completely mastered speech and his body in less than two years of life, something far beyond what specialists in vampire children expected.
There are two types of newborns: adults turned into vampires through rituals and naturally born vampire children.
Adults who transform tend to be completely "flawed," so to speak. An example is an adult vampire transformed through ritual; they struggle greatly with controlling their desires and strength in the first years of transformation and are more prone to blood thirst.
However, a vampire baby differs; their essence grows alongside them. It's instinctual how they use their powers, and their emotions are controlled as they grow with their mentality. It's difficult to change human mentality to vampire quickly, so turning humans was set aside if they weren't children.
This wouldn't work quite well for Dante, who was reincarnated. However, as his past life was consumed by negative feelings and he barely lived his life, his mentality naturally shaped as a vampire more quickly.
Of course, Valentina and her intimidating way of teaching also helped him accept his new reality. The Mother of crooked teeth tortured Queen's messengers in front of her son and used her thirst for killing to say, "I am your mother, do not defy me," back when he was just a defenseless child.
Dante now lives a reasonably peaceful life. He wakes up every day beside the most beautiful vampire of all, he attends regular classes about the supernatural world and his reality taught by Skyla or his mother.
"If I had to choose, I'd want Persephone for myself..." Dante murmured while looking at the Queen of the Underworld.
"I hope there isn't an Alucard like Viktor in this reality..." This murmur was something he occasionally released, remembering the characters he had read about.
Viktor Alucard, Nux Leander, Bai Zemin, Sol Luxuria, and other protagonists he truly feared meeting, especially Viktor Alucard, who's a Yandere at a godly level, and if he saw Dante's mother, he'd easily take her away from him...
"I really hope I don't encounter any of these three monsters out there, having my super-strong mother is enough," Dante sighed while flipping through more pages and reading more about this world.
But soon, he heard footsteps behind him and quickly closed the book before being caught up in things and embraced by big, soft bosoms.
"Hmm, so clever," Valentina murmured as she ran her hands over him and hugged him from behind.
"My son," Valentina said, and Dante quickly responded, "Yes, it's me." Then he tried to get up, but Valentina quickly forced him to stay seated.
"You know, I was thinking... how about you have a little blood?"
