"Shitshitshitshit."
The boy was panicking–pacing up and down the bedroom in the apartment he woke up in, hands in his hair.
"I'm so fucked."
He really was, or so he believed.
Driven by hunger and thirst for blood, he lost control of himself and almost killed someone.
Someone innocent.
He can't grasp the fact that he lost control of himself so easily. Attacking innocent, weak little girls.
"Well, not that she was weak, but still..."
He glanced to the side, there, on the bed, lay the girl he attacked.
Unconscious, her hands tied to the corners of the bed.
He wanted to tie both her legs to each corner at the end of the bed too, but decided against it when he imagined how it would look in his head.
And, yeah... if he wanted to salvage the situation, he definitely shouldn't do that.
So, in the end, he wrap a rope around both her legs, tying them tight together.
Luckily she wore trouser, so there were no inappropriate touches.
He already felt guilty for tearing her clothes and forcefully drinking her blood. He didn't want to add to the load.
Thinking back to that moment, he panicked even more.
He really would've killed her if it wasn't for the system notification sounding in his head, disrupting his "feeding session".
But thanks to quick thinking, he found two potions in her bag.
One with green liquid, the other with blue. Both had no labels.
Using his extensive novel knowledge and the encounter with the girl as motivation, he concluded that this world had magic and all that fantasy lore stuff.
And in fantasy, green means healing, and blue means mana.
Well, most of the time, at least.
So without further ado, he gave the girl the green potion...
and then the blue one... just for in case.
He was relieved when he saw the girl's condition visibly getting better–her pale skin gained color, the bruises on her neck healed and her painful whimpers fell silent.
Because they were pretty loud with the battle and all the screaming, he hoisted her on his shoulder on hastily went to the apartment and tied her up.
He was pacing up and down for the past ten minutes, trying to wrap his head around the situation.
"Well, it is what it is."
The boy suddenly straightened up, his pacing stopped, shoulders squared and spine straight.
This is just how he is.
Whenever he finds himself in tough situations, he panics like a mouse when it sees a cat, then after a few minutes of panicking his whole demeanor changes.
He goes from a scared mouse, to a nonchalant owl in an instant.
This is like a defensive measure, a way to calm himself down, telling himself that everything is fine, that he has things in control.
And outwardly, it does look like he has things in control.
But inwardly?
Bro was freaking out the whole time.
'This is so fucked up!!!!'
Suddenly, the boy ceased all motion.
He realized something:
"What if she knows who I am?"
"Shit, I don't even know who I am."
And that is true.
He doesn't know who he is, where he is, how he ended up here.
And he didn't have the time to find out who he is because of the events that let up to this moment.
All he knows is that he died alone in the empty cold streets because of lung failure, ultimately suffocating to death.
"Terrible way to die, by the way."
Then the next moment he found himself surrounded by darkness with a gnawing hunger clawing at his soul.
Then he remembered something;
"Status"
He remembered the chime he heard when he was feeding on the girl, but he quickly dismissed it when he saw the state she was in.
Barely clinging to life.
And when he was done treating her, her forgot about it in his panicked state.

"Damn."
The boy–Julien–cursed in disbelief.
He was seated on the chair in the bedroom, staring at the glowing interface that was only visible to him.
"Looks like I really transmigrated, huh."
That was obvious from the very beginning, but it is still scary when one thought about it.
Julien thought he made peace with it all, but when you throw the system in the bunch, it becomes clear how crazy and mind-blowing this all is.
"At least my name is the same as in my previous life."
In his previous life he was also born to the name Julien. The observation made him think back to his parents, but he quickly pushed the thought aside.
No time to get sentimental.
But still... it's nice having something that connects and reminds you to what or who you used to be.
Be it memories, a soul or a name.
"15"
In his past life he was 18.
Not grown, but not a child either.
Somewhere in between.
A teenager?
He didn't know if he should be grateful or angry at the setback.
"I should be grateful for the second chance to live, even if it is in the body of a child.
Hell, some reincarnated MC's start as a newborn."
He looked down to his race, stunned and astonished.
He thought he was just a regular vampire. A transmigrated regular vampire. But the system thinks otherwise.
"Celestial."
The word silently slipped out of his mouth.
From what he remembered it has something to do with the solar system. Like with the stars, sun, moon and them.
What he doesn't know is whether Celestials is a race or just something they called people whose power has something to do with the moon, stars or sun.
"If that's the case than why have I never heard or read that Amun Ra is a Celestial. I mean, he's the Egyptian God of the Sun, no?"
Julien went silent for a moment, as if expecting someone to answer him or that the answer will magically appear in his mind.
Like how the systems respond to the MC's in other novels.
When no answer came, Julien shifted his attention back to the status screen, acting as if he didn't just hope that some mysterious entity answers his question.
