Darkness… it was like I was floating in a void with no body yet with one aswell. As time passed my mind grew clearer until I could remember everything.
'Where am I?' My head was pounding yet I still remained calm… no more like I was forced to stay calm. 'I have to think of a way out of here.' But to no avail I couldn't see let alone move.
I quickly realized this was futile and gave up. But in hopes of doing something I tried to open the status window.
[Unable to open status. Ongoing metamorphosis.]
'Metamorphosis?' Confusion quickly filled my mind before I finally realized what was happening. 'In order to adapt to the blood art I had to become like a vampire.'
Vampires are born with a special mana heart allowing them to create blood from magic and giving them enhanced regeneration.
'So that means!' He had give me his blood and not just any blood… A great vampires blood! Excitement washed over me thinking about how much stronger I would be with a great vampires blood.
Vampires are divided into 3 classes.
Regular whose ranks are [G-] to [E-]
Strong whose ranks are [E] to [A]
And great vampires who are [S+] to [SSS+]
'If I get the blood of a great vampire…' my mind would go brain dead trying to control the mana heart. Surprisingly I still remained calm as death was just a step away.
Suddenly bright light flashed blinding me.

"I wonder if he'll survive or not." The great vampire said staring at the youths body with curiosity.
As the vampire was watching the white haired youth suddenly jolted awake as sweat poured down his face.
A hint of surprise flashed by the vampire before he opened his mouth to speak. "I am the great vampire Lux Von Hafer. Who are you little one."
The boy seemingly surprised flinched before he steadied himself. "I am Nyrix Varn." Lux satisfied with that answer spoke. "From now I declare you, Nyrix Varn, my one and only disciple."
Nyrix stared at Lux with wide eyes in disbelief of what he heard. Snapping Nyrix out of his stupor was Lux. "Do you accept this honor?"
"It would be my greatest honor."

It was such a relief that I managed to get the blood art. Since I had just learned it and had a a maximum time limit of 2-3 days im getting beat black and blue for the basics.
"Urkk." Groaning I yet again went in for the attack against lux but as if to show how weak I was he barely used a finger to block it.
"Although you should be stronger then most people your age you still lack combat experience." Lux said as he effortlessly threw me around like a ragdoll.
'Wait.' Since I was so preoccupied with him becoming my master I didn't even get to check how strong I managed to get.

"[E+] Rank?!" I shouted in pure shock. It had to be noted that me going from [G] rank to [E+] rank in a day was practically impossible yet he had done it.
"You finally noticed your growth huh?" Lux said look down at me who was sitting on the ground. "If you've got enough time to check your progress then you have enough time to train." He said before picking me up and throwing me around.
'These 3 days are gonna be hell.' I suddenly started tearing up.
