Progenitor Vampire: I Have Many Skills!

Chapter 83: The Dietrich Era

The Dietrich Era is also known as the Era of the Vampire Gods. It is the most important Era in the history of this Vampire World.

It was the time when Vampires were at their peak powers, and immortal existences existed in this world.

Different from the belief on Earth, Vampires are not immortal beings by nature. Although it is true that they can live many more years than humans, they are not immortal. Or at least not at the beginning, but as they become stronger and stronger, they gain immortality.

And in that Age so acclaimed by vampires, immortals existed everywhere in this world. They were as numerous as the stars in the sky, but somehow, they ceased to exist. Although they were immortal, they were not invincible, so there is a belief that at some point in history, a war killed them, although no one knows if that is real.

But, the existence of so many immortals and such an important era for vampires is always attributed to the presence of the Dietrich Clan because, after their fall, immortals never appeared again in the world.

That is why the world of connoisseurs is interested in everything that can be a story of that Era or that Clan. Maybe they can have an epiphany and achieve immortality since no one knows how to achieve it.

That is why this title was so appealing and important.

Also, the introduction was even more interesting.

-I, Paul Hoffman, leader of Clan Hoffman, have lived much of my life as a subordinate of Clan Dietrich. Thanks to our leaders' grace, my clan became one of the 5 Major Clans below the Dietrich, forming what you will once know as The Dietrich Era.

Today, the Dietrich Era has ended, so I will write a story I do not want to be forgotten by the annals of history.

A story of the Greatest Clan that could ever exist in this world. A tale of the Dietrich Clan and its downfall.-

'Hoffman... Hoffman Clan... Could it have something to do with Hoffman's Bloody Kingdom? I heard that was the name of the Kingdom where I am...' Matt thought, and the more he read, the more interested he became.

Every time he read the name of the Dietrich Clan, he felt like it was a time so far away that his mind went blank.

The name was strange and enigmatic, so he began to read.

According to the book, the Dietrich Era lasted 100 million years. Being the longest-lived Era that could have existed in this vast world, it earned the name of the 'Greatest Saint Clan.'

Their history and the might of their rulers make it hard to believe that they no longer exist.

In fact, the more Matt read the book and immersed himself in this gripping story, the more he felt that Paul Hoffman wanted to put down on paper that he did not believe the Dietrichs had ceased to exist.

He couldn't believe that such powerful beings would end up falling, and he expressed this in one of his paragraphs.

But…

'To whom did the Dietrich Clan fall?' Matt thought doubtfully.

To him...

One thing was more than evident.

The Ice Emperor he killed at the end of his human life was only a speck of dust in front of the great existences mentioned in this book.

The might that was narrated seemed more like an exaggerated fantasy story, but how it was narrated made it seem like the book's author had witnessed it firsthand.

-As powerful as the gods, as bright as the stars... Many have wondered who could be the Progenitor of the Vampires, but I ask myself, who else could it be, if not the Dietrich? The Human Clan has its Progenitor in the Adam, a mighty human to be feared and respected. The Sun Clan has its Progenitor in the Sun itself. But...

Our Progenitor, who else could it be, if not the one capable of destroying the Progenitors of the other Clans?-

When Matt read this far, he felt as if a small current had run through his body from his head. For a brief moment, he felt like he was seeing an existence of untold power in front of him, yet he soon returned to reality and looked at the book with a frown.

'What was that?' Matt thought and put a hand to his head.

He felt as if he had been living that Era, but it was only for a moment so brief that it left him stunned.

Still, he shook his head in the end and thought it was just his mind playing tricks on him.

He went back to continuing his reading and frowned when he realized he was on the book's last few pages.

In these last parts of the book, he (the author) focuses on a strange form of farewell, trying to answer himself to the questions of the previous pages.

-If they were not the Progenitors of the Vampires, then I do not know what kind of existence could be. The Power of our Leader is so high that no one can comprehend it. That's why, to destroy them, with only a...-

'Is it broken?' thought Matt, realizing that the book's page was torn at the best part.

But, even so, there were more letters further down, but it was broken again.

'Their fall was a... A what? Shit, how could it be broken!?' Matt thought a little angrily and turned the page.

And he was stunned by what he saw, 'Another Saint Clan? Is there another Saint Clan besides the Dietrichs? Alice never told me about this.' Matt thought.

But that whole page was torn; you could only see what the next page said, which was also partially torn.

-That is why I must begin to accept that the Dietrich Clan no longer exists. Their downfall was painful, but it is time to turn the page and live with a...-

So much for the other page, and finally, the nine pages after those that ended the book had been torn out.

'What the hell? Someone actually dared to rip the pages out of this book?' thought Matt, slightly annoyed.

He didn't know why, but having read that the Dietrich Clan ceased to exist made him feel an endless rage that he didn't know where it came from.

Still, he soon calmed down and frowned; just then, he noticed the other book that had been attached to this one and grabbed it.
