Chapter 2 of "I Became The Vampire Progenitor" starts with thrilling twists: Li De hadn’t expected the players to actually arrive. 1095 days—exactly three years in game time. "Glory"... Continue the story!

Li De hadn’t expected the players to actually arrive. 1095 days—exactly three years in game time. "Glory" had emphasized in its promotional materials that the time ratio between the game and reality was 3:1, meaning one day in reality equaled three days in the game. Originally, Li De had thought the game company was exaggerating in their marketing. But now, with the game panel showing over 1000 days, it seemed they weren’t lying. So, does this mean I’ve transmigrated into the game three years early? For a moment, Li De’s eyes sparkled with excitement. Starting off as a Vampire Progenitor, with hundreds of subordinates, and being a level 10 high-level mage—wasn’t this a bit too much? But that’s fine. The more overpowered, the better. I like it. After his excitement subsided, Li De turned his attention to the attribute panel. The skills listed there immediately made his heart race. His skills were divided into three main categories. First, Innate Talents, which consisted of three skills. Innate Talents: Vampire Progenitor (Unique), Bloodline Shackles (Restricted), Mana Affinity (Extreme) Vampire Progenitor: As the progenitor of the vampires, you possess a powerful bloodline that grants immunity to sunlight. You can develop one bloodline descendant per month. All bloodline descendants and their offspring have unwavering loyalty to you, set to "fanatical devotion." Each bloodline descendant provides 1 character experience point per month. After reading the skill description, Li De’s eyes lit up with excitement. "Fanatical devotion" as a fixed loyalty trait was simply overpowering. His worries were completely put to rest. Even if he acted out of character, the "fanatical devotion" trait would ensure his subordinates remained loyal. Of course, he still needed to verify whether this "fanatical devotion" meant unconditional loyalty or a willingness to sacrifice themselves for him while retaining independent thought. The fact that each bloodline descendant provided 1 character experience point per month was also an extremely practical feature. In "Glory," gaining experience was notoriously difficult, as explicitly stated on the official website. Even though his current level was only 10, making him a high-level mage, in Green City, a metropolis with a population of over one million, he could essentially do as he pleased. Bloodline Shackles (Restricted): As the Vampire Progenitor, you possess absolute control over your bloodline descendants. You can issue commands that are ingrained into their bloodline, ensuring compliance. The ability to control bloodline descendants through their bloodline gave Li De an overwhelming sense of power. The Vampire Progenitor’s control over vampires was simply unbreakable. The ability to issue commands ingrained into their bloodline made Li De realize that this skill would undoubtedly have significant uses in the future. The last Innate Talent: Mana Affinity (Extreme): Your affinity with mana has reached its limit, allowing you to manipulate mana at will. Simple and straightforward, yet incredibly powerful. It was a clear indication to Li De that his path was that of a mage, and he shouldn’t bother with anything else. According to the "Glory" official website, players could only choose two Innate Talents when selecting their class. But Li De now had three, each more formidable than the last. The second skill category was Racial Skills. The difference between Racial Skills and Innate Talents was that Racial Skills were tied to one’s race, while Innate Talents were more about individual potential. The vampire’s Racial Skills consisted of three highly practical abilities. Bat Transformation: You can transform into 100 small bats, each containing 5% of your power. As long as one bat survives, you can regenerate. You can also manifest bat wings to fly, with a speed equal to 50% of the small bats. Blood Drain Recovery: Vampires can recover stamina, mana, and mental energy by draining blood. Superhuman Physique (Passive): The Vampire Progenitor possesses a robust physique. Powerful. Only now did Li De truly grasp how strong the body of the Vampire Progenitor he had taken over was. Superhuman Physique and Mana Affinity—this was practically a gift for dual cultivation of magic and martial arts. In terms of potential, even the hidden classes briefly mentioned on the "Glory" official website couldn’t compare. The third skill category was the mage’s spells. Mage spells were divided into tiers: Tier 1 spells, Tier 2 spells, Tier 3 spells, Tier 4 spells, Tier 5 spells, Forbidden Spells, and Divine Spells. As a level 10 high-level mage, Li De currently knew over a dozen Tier 1 and Tier 2 spells, along with three Tier 3 spells. Tier 4 spells could only be learned by reaching level 15 as a Grand Mage. Tier 5 spells were reserved for Transcendent Mages above level 20, and Forbidden Spells and Divine Spells were far beyond Li De’s current reach. However, for some reason, Li De didn’t see any warrior skills listed. In "Glory," each character could have two classes, but the secondary class could only reach half the level of the primary class and would suffer double experience penalties. Li De’s attribute panel showed a level 5 warrior class, but only mage skills were displayed. After a moment of reflection, he couldn’t help but chuckle. The Vampire Progenitor was an unwavering advocate of magic, believing it to be the most powerful force, and looked down on the warrior class. The secondary class was set as a warrior solely to maximize the potential of the Superhuman Physique passive racial talent. Li De sighed inwardly. Vampires were truly a blessed race. Apart from their weakness to sunlight, they were practically invincible. But now, with the Vampire Progenitor’s bug-like Innate Talent, even the weakness to sunlight was gone. This time, they were truly invincible. Knock, knock, knock~ A series of knocks interrupted Li De’s thoughts. "Lord Li De, are you inside?" A voice as clear and melodious as a nightingale’s came through the wooden study door. The girl outside was speaking in a language completely different from Chinese, but Li De could understand it perfectly. He instinctively replied. "I’m here." As soon as he spoke, Li De was slightly surprised. It wasn’t Chinese, but the words flowed naturally from his mouth. "It must be due to inheriting the original body’s memories." He felt relieved. Although he had inherited the Vampire Progenitor’s memories, many habits couldn’t be changed overnight. Now that he had inherited not only the attributes but also the language, there shouldn’t be any issues. Straightening his slightly disheveled blue mage robe, his fangs had already retracted into normal teeth. Although his face was still pale, his spirits had improved significantly. Puffing out his chest slightly, he opened the door. Creak~ The door opened, revealing a young girl dressed in a blue mage robe. The girl had a tall and graceful figure, standing at 1.7 meters, exuding an air of elegance. Her large, watery eyes sparkled like torches held by a goddess, filled with light. Her fair and delicate face was adorned with exquisite features, and she wore a warm smile. Her golden, wavy hair cascaded down her back like ocean waves. What a stunning girl. Li De’s eyes lit up. "Lord Li De, lunch is ready. Would you like to dine in the study or the dining hall?" Vina smiled sweetly, her voice soft and gentle. As the master of this mage tower and an elite member of the Green City Mage Guild, Li De held absolute authority and unquestionable prestige within the tower. Vina, who had been selected as a mage apprentice at the Crimson Mage Tower half a year ago due to her exceptional magical aptitude, had become the maid responsible for Li De’s daily needs. A maid’s duties were numerous, especially within a mage tower. At times, they even had to warm their master’s bed.
