[Holy sht! Holy sht! Holy sh*t! Why did the art style suddenly change?!]
[Just as expected—there's no way the Vampire Castle dungeon is actually that simple.]
[Is it possible that the Blood Clan Queen got angry because she heard Lin Yu say the name "Huang Yiyi"?]
[Blood Clan Queen: I'm already sleeping with you, and you're still thinking about another woman?!]
[Hey—this was supposed to be terrifying, so why does it sound like a trashy romance drama when you guys say it?!]
[Damn it, I was scared out of my mind at first, but after reading the comments I'm laughing so hard my stomach hurts.]
[Wait, serious question—who is Huang Yiyi? She sounds pretty close to Lin Yu. Don't tell me she's his childhood sweetheart?]
...
Watching the Blood Clan Queen suddenly attack, the livestream audience was completely startled.
When they saw Lin Yu's neck bitten by her, many viewers instinctively swallowed hard.
The turn of events came far too fast.
Just a second ago—
They were still envying Lin Yu, discussing how he was about to become the first player ever to clear the Vampire Castle dungeon.
And not just clear it—
But clear it by lying down.
Then, in the very next second—
Lin Yu was attacked.
As for what would happen after being bitten on the neck by the Blood Clan Queen…
That hardly needed explanation.
Still—
A small portion of the viewers insisted that this attack was caused by Lin Yu calling out another woman's name while half-asleep, angering the Blood Clan Queen.
...
"Am I… about to die?"
After the sharp pain in his neck faded, it was replaced by an intense numbing sensation.
Lin Yu felt as if his entire body were floating in cotton—soft, warm, and strangely comfortable.
Even though he knew he was probably close to death—
His subconscious was telling him not to resist.
"No—this won't do!"
"Dying like this would be way too unfair!"
The thought of dying without even understanding why reignited Lin Yu's will to resist.
His tongue pressed hard against his teeth.
A sharp jolt of pain instantly cleared his head.
Without thinking, Lin Yu gathered all his strength and reached toward the Blood Clan Queen in front of him—
And grabbed hard.
"Just as I thought!"
"I wasn't imagining it earlier—this Blood Clan Queen is seriously malnourished…"
After grabbing at empty air, Lin Yu realized he had indeed touched something.
He could now be completely sure—
The Blood Clan Queen's development was… lacking.
The pain at his neck suddenly intensified.
Lin Yu knew very well that his reckless action had thoroughly enraged her.
Even so—
He felt no regret at all.
[Player Lin Yu has successfully accepted the Blood Clan Queen's First Embrace. Blood Clan Constitution activated!]
Just as Lin Yu was preparing himself for death, a system notification rang out beside his ear.
"Blood Clan… constitution?"
Hearing this, shock flashed across Lin Yu's face.
Immediately afterward, he realized that the pitch-black interior of the coffin had become clearly visible.
"So… does that mean…"
After realizing he had obtained the Blood Clan Constitution, Lin Yu suddenly understood something.
He looked at the Blood Clan Queen beside him, his expression filled with disbelief.
It finally dawned on him—
She hadn't bitten him to kill him.
She had been doing something else entirely.
However—
What Lin Yu didn't know was that the moment he obtained the Blood Clan Constitution—
Every single player in the Horror Game received a system-wide announcement.
For a moment—
Whether players were inside dungeons or resting during a Safe Period—
All of them wore the same stunned expression, as if they couldn't believe what they'd just heard.
[Did I hear that right?! A Blood Clan Constitution holder actually appeared?!]
[Holy sh*t! Whose luck is this insane—to actually obtain a Blood Clan Constitution?!]
[What the hell?! Aren't vampires supposed to be super arrogant? How did a player get the Blood Clan Constitution?!]
[Find the player named Lin Yu immediately! We need to know how he obtained the Blood Clan Constitution!]
[Damn it! Why wasn't it me?! That's one of the top three constitutions in the Horror Game!]
In an instant—
Shock and jealousy spread throughout the entire Horror Game.
In this game, a player's constitution had a chance to mutate under specific circumstances.
For example, in zombie-type dungeons, being bitten or infected could grant a Zombie Constitution.
But the Blood Clan Constitution—
Was by far the hardest one to obtain.
Since the launch of the Horror Game, not a single player had ever acquired it.
Not once.
And now—
Lin Yu had become the first player in the entire Horror Game to obtain the Blood Clan Constitution.
Enough to drive countless players mad with envy.
What made it even worse—
Was that the person who obtained it wasn't a veteran player who had cleared countless dungeons…
But a newbie.
On the Horror Game forums, the news of a newbie obtaining the Blood Clan Constitution instantly dominated countless front-page posts.
Large numbers of players in Safe Periods flooded into Lin Yu's livestream.
However—
By the time they entered, all they saw was the settlement screen.
[Congratulations, Player! Dungeon Cleared: Vampire Castle]
[Newbie Dungeon rewards calculating…]
[Newbie Dungeon settlement complete!]
[Main Quest: 1/1]
[Side Quest: 1/1]
[Dungeon Rating: S]
[Items Obtained: 1 S-Rank Rating Chest]
[Dungeon EXP Gained: 300]
[Horror Coins Gained: 900]
[Viewers: 4384]
...
[What the hell—Vampire Castle?! The player who got the Blood Clan Constitution actually matched into this dungeon?!]
[Side quest completed too?! Is this guy really a newbie? How did he clear it?!]
[S-rank rating chest?! That thing can drop purple-quality items!]
[Wait—are you saying his side quest was completed by the Blood Clan Queen?!]
[She gave him quest items and a suspected purple-quality item?! Are you guys trolling?!]
[What?! This player slept with the Blood Clan Queen—and even laid hands on her?!]
The latecomer players stared at the barrage of messages, their faces filled with disbelief.
An "impossible" side quest—completed.
An "impossible" dungeon—cleared.
A Blood Clan Constitution—obtained.
And all of it—
By a newbie player.
When they learned that every side-quest item had been personally delivered by the Blood Clan Queen herself—
Their eyes were left filled with nothing but madness, jealousy, and envy.
...
"So… I cleared it?"
"And I even became something like a Blood Clan Constitution holder?"
Staring at the settlement screen in front of him, Lin Yu's face was full of confusion.
After clearing the newbie dungeon, all previously locked features were now unlocked.
Still completely baffled, Lin Yu opened his personal status page.
[Player Info: Lin Yu]
[Level: 3]
[Current Title: None]
[Equipped Items: Blood Clan Crest · Exquisite Running Shoes · Blood Shadow Bracelet]
[Inventory: Empty]
[Player Constitution: Blood Clan Constitution]
[Attributes: Strength (13), Endurance (11), Speed (12), Spirit (10)]
...
Upon seeing the words Blood Clan Constitution, Lin Yu immediately tapped it.
[Blood Clan Constitution Lv.1]
[Trait: Night Vision (Darkness appears as daylight)]
[Trait: Enhanced Smell (Extremely sensitive to the scent of blood)]
[Trait: Danger Premonition (Can sense impending danger)]
[Trait: Bloodlust (When activated, all attributes increase by 300%. Requires blood as fuel)]
"…Damn. Did I just turn into a vampire?"
After finally understanding what the Blood Clan Constitution meant, Lin Yu couldn't help but mutter.
If that was the case—
Wouldn't he have to drink blood to survive after returning to reality?
The thought left him utterly speechless.
He had been a perfectly normal human being—
And after clearing one dungeon, he'd turned into a vampire.
Who was he supposed to complain to about that?
Still—
There was nothing he could do now.
Lin Yu shifted his attention to the rating chest he'd just obtained.
After clearing a dungeon, players received a chest based on their performance rating.
Rating chests could drop all kinds of items.
Their ranks ranged from C to SSS.
C-rank chests could only drop white-quality items.
B-rank chests could drop up to green-quality items.
And the S-rank chest he had obtained—
Had a chance to drop purple-quality items.
"Please, God… I'm willing to trade Huang Yiyi being flat for her entire life if I can get a purple-quality item!"
[Opening S-Rank Rating Chest…]
[Ding! Congratulations, Player—Charisma Ring acquired!]
[Charisma Ring (Equipment)]
[Quality: Purple]
[Effect: Increases the player's charisma in the target's eyes based on their favorability]
[Note: The more you look at it, the more pleasing it becomes]
...
"This thing… counts as a purple-quality item?"
Looking at what he'd drawn, Lin Yu's mouth twitched slightly, his expression full of doubt.
After that, Lin Yu glanced at the shop and trading hall.
Most items sold in the shop were healing items, with green quality being the highest.
As for the trading hall—
The item variety was much broader, but even there, blue-quality was the limit.
After browsing for a bit longer, Lin Yu cut off his connection to the Horror Game and returned to reality.
On the coffee table—
That familiar white envelope was still sitting there.
Returning to the real world, Lin Yu felt as though he'd been separated from reality by an entire lifetime.
"Knock, knock, knock…"
Just as Lin Yu was about to open the envelope—
A knock sounded from outside the door.
