Verc lived a quiet, meaningless life as an office worker, counting days rather than living them. When he casually wished for excitement, the world answered with steel, headlights, and death.

He awakens reborn in a pitch-black cave as something no longer human—but a vampire demon. Guided by nothing, Verc learns a simple truth of his new existence: consume, evolve, rule. By drinking the blood of others, he can steal their abilities, physical traits, and powers, growing stronger with every kill.

Starting from the depths of darkness, Verc claws his way upward—hunting monsters, crushing goblins, and uncovering a brutal world ruled by strength alone. As his power grows, so does his ambition. Survival turns into domination, and domination into the rise of a new Demon King.

In a world where blood is currency and mercy is weakness, Verc will carve his throne one bite at a time.

I tilted my head in absolute confusion as I looked at the crazy vampire laughing like a total idiot just a few meters away from me. It just made no sense at all. He was trapped in my ultimate domain, surrounded by a darkness so thick it could swallow light itself.


-'Why is he so happy? Did he lose his mind already from the sheer pressure of my magic?'


I asked myself that, but I knew I wouldn't be able to get an answer without asking him directly. I just shook my head and set aside my curiosity for the moment. It didn't matter if he was crazy or not; he was still going to be my specimen.


-'I will just have to ask him later after I have defeated him.'


I thought with a wide, skeletal grin on my face.


I summoned a [Fire Lance] on top of my right hand. Since I use dark mana, the flames adapted to a deep, abyssal color that blended perfectly into my domain. In this place, I am almighty! I am the god of this void!
