Chapter 2 – A Step into a New World
How am I supposed to raise these children? Or… should I just leave them with another family? No… they wouldn't be taken in. After all, these kids are half-vampires, and humans hate anything related to demons after the war.
I had thought I could live a peaceful life in this new world, but… fine, I'll raise them myself.
Let me try to remember their names… yes, Lucy, Anna, Yure, and Ben. I hope they're hungry… but what should I feed them?
Wait—I need to remember the previous owner of this body. His name was… Devit. Fine, I'll figure out the details later. Right now, I need to find food for the children.
In the books I've read, vampires drink blood… but these kids are half-human, half-vampire. Maybe milk will do. I don't even know where I am, but… maybe I can try a little blood from myself.
"Lucy, Anna… eat slowly, don't rush. We still have Yure and Ben, so there's enough for everyone."
Finally, they were fed, and they fell asleep.
Now… I need to figure out where I can settle. The land is flat, with only one big tree nearby. I see more trees in the distance. Maybe I can cut them down and build a house. But… I don't even have an axe.
This world is full of magic and swords… maybe I have some kind of power too?
"System, activate! System, open!"
Suddenly, a voice in my head:
"You have completed all requirements. System activated."
I watched the children, and the system seemed to assess me. My first task—feeding the children—was complete.
Now… what are my stats?
Strength: 70%
Intelligence: 50%
Speed: 60%
Not enough… the memories I recall from this body tell me Devit had been extremely strong.
The system whispered: "You will grow stronger as you care for the children."
Ehh… this will be very difficult. I need an axe and a few other things.
"System, assist me!"
Perfect. Now I can gather trees and build a house. I must hurry before the children wake up.
Finally, I finished. The house is standing, though I'm exhausted. I still need to give the children blood, and I haven't even eaten yet. I also need to find water. Luckily, I found a stream and some fruits nearby.
Returning home, I called out: "I'm back, kids! Daddy's here!"
It's time to eat—first Yure and Ben, then Lucy and Anna. I have to be careful not to lose too much blood myself. Tomorrow, I'll find some meat. After that… everyone can finally rest.
