Chapter 40: First Servant

"S-sir, Adam-"

"He will be fine, the healing process is quite painful so he will be at it for a little longer," Lyle said as he looked back before suddenly turning his sight to the front of the tunnel. He could hear some footsteps outside.

"All of you stay here, don\'t come out, but don\'t go in the cave either, you can\'t disturb Adam now, even the slightest disturbance could be bad," Lyle said as he stared at Cindy who meekly nodded.

Lyle then moved toward the entrance of the tunnel. After killing so many goblins and hobgoblins he had managed to level up again and he was now at level 17. His agility and spirit had both gotten a point while he now sat on 14 free attribute points that he could invest any time he wished to.

He moved quietly and slowly before using his daggers to get on the wall of the tunnel and slowly move closer to the entrance.

The footsteps and grumbling of hobgoblins and goblins could be heard outside as they moved left and right in a hurry, seemingly checking if all of the ones in front of the cave were dead.

Lyle didn\'t hurry to attack them. He slowly moved to the entrance of the cave and started observing the enemies.

He had gotten a bit injured previously and had spent most of his mana, which meant that he would be unable to use his ability or skills during a battle.

Luckily, there were only 2 hobgoblins and three goblins in front of the cave. To win against such enemies was nothing hard for Lyle.

As Lyle was dealing with the enemies that were outside, Cindy and the others were staring at the entrance with fear as they could hear the sounds of battle coming from outside.

Adam\'s screams became louder as Cindy started looking at the end of the tunnel with worry in her eyes. She understood that Lyle had given them order and that he meant well, so she didn\'t move and go to Adam, even as his screams intensified.

Suddenly the screams stopped and they didn\'t start again for quite some time.

"He, is he ok?" Cindy asked with worry as the others also showed the same expression on their faces.

She waited a bit longer, but there was nothing.

No more screams.

Even the sound of Lyle fighting against the monsters outside was coming to a stop as they could now barely hear anything.

Cindy suddenly got up and ran inside the cave. The others called out to her and tried to stop her, but she didn\'t listen and kept running.

"He said that it\'s dangerous during the healing, Adam is probably fine now, I just want to check how he is doing!" Cindy shouted as she continued running inside before stopping at some shacks.

Adam was in front of her.

His back was turned to Cindy who stopped and stared at him in wonder.

His skin had become a bit paler and his hair grew out. The original brown hair was no longer brown, but black as well. If Cindy were to take a good look at his hands, she would be able to see that his nails looked much sharper and were longer as well.

Adam\'s body also went through a change other than simply becoming paler. He lost a bit of fat that he had and his muscles become more defined.

She could only stare at his back, so she was unable to see his face which was also slightly different. His previous brown eyes turned black, with a slight shade of red inside of them.

His lips were a bit darker and his cheekbones were more pronounced.

Adam now had two large fangs, but they didn\'t stick out from his mouth.

"Adam, is – is that you?" Cindy asked as she stared at the back of Adam\'s head.

The rags he previously had on were gone and he was standing in the middle of the cave naked.

Cindy took 2 steps toward Adam who suddenly talked.

"Get out."

"But, Adam."

Cindy, get out, please!" Adam shouted as his body started to shake a bit.

Cindy stared at him with worry and tried to get closer, only for Adam to suddenly disappear.

Before Cindy could understand what had happened, a hand grabbed her throat from behind and tilted it to the side.

"I – I can\'t take it any longer," Adam said as he stared at Cindy\'s neck.

"I can hear it, your blood flowing, I – I can almost smell it, it\'s driving me insane," Adam said as he slowly lowered his head to Cindy\'s neck.

His fangs grew longer and he opened his mouth wide before biting down.

Or at least attempting to bite down.

A strong hand grabbed him by the hair before pulling his head back.

His hand that was grabbing Cindy let go of her as Lyle appeared behind the two.

"Didn\'t I tell you to not come here?" Lyle asked Cindy as the latter stared down at the ground, embarrassed and sorry.

"I – I just wanted to-"

"To check up on him, I know," Lyle said while he looked at Cindy with a calm expression.

"He needs some time to adjust to his new body, new sensations to feel and explore before calming down, being in the same place as other people is dangerous, had I not arrived, Adam would have done something that he would probably regret till he died."

"But it\'s alright now, I\'m here, go and join the others and wait for us, we will join you guys shortly."

"Cindy nodded her head before leaving the area. She didn\'t lift her head even once and almost hit some shacks a couple of times.

"That girl, you almost killed her, Adam," Lyle said as he glanced at Adam\'s face which was now covered in tears.

"I know," Adam said as he sniffled before being let go by Lyle.

"You, who ... what are you, what am I now?" Adam asked as he stared at Lyle whose aura had changed.

His hair grew longer as his eyes turned red. His fangs appeared and suddenly Adam went down on his knees without even knowing why.

"I\'m a vampire, a vampire lord, to be more exact."

"Huh?" Adam asked as he stared at Lyle in shock.

Suddenly the memory of what happened right before he lost consciousness came back to him. He remembered how Lyle cut his hand before forcing him to drink down his blood while biting his neck.

He remembered the sight of Lyle who had changed and looked terrifying to him at that moment.

"So, I – I\'m a vampire now too?"

"Correct, you are a vampire, my first creation and servant," Lyle said as he stood in front of Adam with his hands behind his back.

"Servant?"

"Correct, once a being has been turned into a vampire, they will unconditionally obey all orders from their master, but don\'t worry, I don\'t intend to force you to do anything you don\'t want, somebody that is truly loyal is of much better value to me than a puppet I can order around, the promise I have made before stands," Lyle said as Adam got up.

"So what, I – I can\'t go out anymore, I can\'t be around people, how will I even live?" Adam asked as his expression turned to one of horror.

"You can go out, daylight has no effect on a true vampire, and since you have been turned by a vampire lord, you are considered to be a true vampire," Lyle said before pausing a bit to let Adam compose himself and continued.

"You can be around people, not all vampires are monsters who can\'t control themselves, well, no true vampire is something like that, the lesser ones do find it hard to control their urges, but you shouldn\'t have any problems, it is because the girl came too soon after your transformation that you couldn\'t control yourself and almost bit her."

"I will train you and help you to control yourself, so don\'t worry about that, the only thing that has changed about you is your looks and power, you should find that you are much stronger compared to before," Lyle said as Adam suddenly inspected his body.

"Here, clothes," Lyle said as he took out some clothes from his spatial ring and gave them to Adam who nodded at him before putting them on.

When a human turns into a vampire, it will usually be stronger compared to before. How powerful one became depended on how strong they were before, and how powerful the vampire that turned them was.

As a vampire lord, Lyle could turn even normal humans into powerful beings that were Tier I or Tier II, but since power was too low, Adam had only become a being that was level 10 at the moment.

He didn\'t need to do a trial and pick a class as he already had one.

[ Vampiric Servant ]

That was the class that Adam had.

The power of his class came directly from Lyle and its strength would heavily depend on Lyle\'s strength as well.

It was virtually impossible for Adam to ever become stronger than Lyle as his class and power came from him.

The two spent some time talking before heading toward Cindy and the others.
