My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

Chapter 4: Respect is important

Though it all could be considered mere child's play, the little one observed and absorbed everything. His greatest advantage in this reincarnation was grasping the basics of the supernatural reality through manga and anime. It wasn't entirely practical, but he believed it could help him understand things faster through this knowledge.

Upon realizing he was in a supernatural world, he quickly understood that his mother could potentially be a significant figure given the way the maid reacted when speaking to her.

Initially skeptical, he changed his mind when he noticed small red punctures on the necks of his mother, Valentina, and the maid, Skyla. These marks indicated the classic vampire bite, quite cliché but better than some profane ritual or the like.

He was never truly a supporter of bloodsuckers in the fiction he consumed. The reason? Vampires were weak, except for Viktor Alucard, of course—he's an anomaly.

A vampire has super agility, super strength, and super vision... The question that truly bothers is: what supernatural race doesn't have these traits? Even those lacking these abilities possess many advantages.

Take werewolves, for example. Yes, they have all these powers and an enhanced sense of smell. Witches can use their powers to have all that and more. In short, being a vampire is overrated. At least that was his mindset, and it was about to be completely shattered.

He had no choice about his race—after all, not being able to eat food anymore and not being able to walk in the sun is such a disadvantage that even being an abandoned dog would be better.

Well, that was, of course, before he met his Mother. Valentina Scarlet is not a normal woman. In fact, she's the anomaly among anomalies, but the boy didn't know it yet.

While the little one indulged in his musings, Valentina was walking with the child in her arms to 'welcome' the guests.

When Valentina entered the room and saw three beings... One of them was a royal representative named Asta, a member of the Silverblood family. He was a tall man, about 6'3" with silver hair, wearing a suit that covered his muscles, but anyone could imagine the bulging muscles in his chest; he looked like a robust basketball player with broad shoulders.

Accompanying Asta Silverblood were two women: the heir of the Silverblood clan, Arieta Silverblood, Asta's niece, and the other was Ranni Silverblood, a special member of the Silverblood clan.

As Valentina set her eyes on the three, she felt something slightly repulsive coming from them.

"Tsk," she clicked her tongue, drawing attention to her. 'Still as repugnant as ever, Platinum Dragon,' Valentina thought as she glanced at a sword Ranni held.

When everyone looked at Valentina, their first reaction was shock, followed by curiosity about the child in her arms, and then... fear.

A fear coursed through every vein, every pore, every cell trembled with fear just from looking at the child. The reason? Merely setting eyes on the child triggered an invincible murderous pressure from Valentina towards the "little" vampires in front of her.

For a few seconds, the three didn't see Valentina, nor the room in the mansion.

They saw an entire world of torn bodies, a rain of blood, and a woman sitting at the top. It lasted less than 2 seconds, but it caused all three visitors to sweat as if they were inside a furnace being cremated alive.

"Respect is important" Valentina said, waking everyone up from their conscious reverie.

'What on earth was that?' The child asked inwardly. He had witnessed the same scene as everyone else, but it didn't shake him for a moment.

Valentina didn't hold back, not even in the presence of her son; she didn't even block the grotesque view of her expanding aura.

'A world of corpses... my mother is truly terrifying.'
