*Gasp*
Alex awoke with a gasp and his eyes wide open. The first thing he saw was an open night sky and a starry, moonless blackness that stretched from the horizon to infinity. A cold wind whistles through his hair, tugging on his skin.
He's also got a terrible headache. He can feel pain in every part of his body, like an overwhelming sense of being broken down into little pieces that don't quite fit together anymore. His bones hurt terribly, especially the joints in his knees and elbows.
He immediately attempted to sit up. His neck was stiff. It took him several attempts to master the movement. When he did, all of his muscles screamed at the same time. He groaned as he pushed himself off the ground and onto his feet, wincing with each movement.
* Crunch *
Alex didn't seem to notice it at first, but after taking a step, he felt as if he had stepped on something that made a cracking bone sound. When he looked down, he saw his foot sticking out over the face of an old corpse.
The corpse resembled a sunken mummy, as if someone had drained all of his blood.
I yelped and tried to back away but I couldn't even control my own body and fall back on the ground.
"Wh.. what the heck is happening to me?"
I mumbled in confusion. I opened my status to see whats wrong with me.

• Bloodline Awakened: [Bloodline of The Progenitor Vampire (Bloodline Ability - Unique)] : You are the first of your kind. Dormant power lies in your very essence, waiting for release at a moment's notice. You physics has enhanced strength and resilience; you are impervious to all but the most powerful of magical attacks, and you have resistance to fire damage. Your eyes glow red when you channel the powers of this bloodline.+10 to all stats, +10% vitality pool per level.
• Vampire creation (Unique): A unique ability only for the Progenitor vampire. Unlike other vampires you do not need to procreate to create new vampires. You can directly create vampires just by injecting your blood in other creatures.
Any vampire you create, can inherit certain traits from your bloodline. You will gain a unique connection to the vampires of your direct lineage. You can telepathically communicate with them from long distances.
*The following are additional effects that you have gained with advancement in the line.*
• Vampire's Physiology: While under the influence of this bloodline, your physical attributes increase by 10%. When you gain levels, your base stats grow proportionally stronger as well.As you advance through this bloodline, your body transforms into what appears to be a vampire, though not in appearance, but in physiology. This does not require much time, usually just a few days for the changes to begin showing themselves; however, after several days the change will progress rapidly until full transformation. Your skin hardens, muscles tighten and strengthen, and your eyes begin to glow red as you transform into a vampire . In addition, you gain increased physical attributes, speed and agility, heightened senses, and an insatiable hunger that makes you want to devour everything around you.
• Bloodrage (Bloodline): As a result of the awakening of this bloodline, you have become more violent and aggressive. You have been granted immunity to fear and charm effects while raging. You may choose one additional benefit while raging: increased health regeneration or increased stamina regen.
• Curse Immunity (Bloodline): You can resist all curses, and any curse that would normally affect you is weakened significantly.
• Darkened Bloodline (Unique): You are immune to most poisons and drugs, including those with a long duration or multiple uses. You cannot be affected by diseases or toxins, either naturally occurring or created through magic.
Your blood is poisonous to other creatures.
• Night Vision: Your night vision has been further enhanced, allowing you to see clearly in near-total darkness without aid. You gain +10 to your maximum light radius when outside at night.
• Vampire's regeneration: Your healing ability grows exponentially while feeding on others' blood. You can recover from most critical of wounds within an hour, and minor cuts heal instantly. You can even regenerate your limbs if they are missing entirely—though this requires a significant amount of energy and it takes longer than normal to restore such injuries. +50 HP, +20 vitality.
*Each regeneration requires a significant amount of mana and stamina for it to be completed. For example, regenerating a limb will take much longer than reattaching a severed arm.
Regeneration also takes a great deal of effort, draining both your stamina and energy.
You can only perform so many regenerations per day, and doing so exhausts you to the point where you need several hours to recover before being able to continue.
Your regeneration abilities are dependent on how much mana is currently stored within your body. Regenerative abilities can be augmented by consuming blood.
• Mana regeneration: You restores your mana faster. You regain 20% of your total mana every 5 minutes.
• Stamina regeneration: You recovers stamina faster. You regain 10% of your total stamina every 5 minutes.
• Vampire senses: Your vision has been further improved, giving you better clarity and detail while viewing objects and creatures up close. Additionally, your sense of smell becomes far sharper, helping to pinpoint the location of enemies. your hearing heightened to superhuman levels, allowing you to see and hear things others cannot. +15 perception.
• Blood manipulation (Unique): As a Progenitor vampire, you have full control of your own blood. You can manipulate blood to make it harden and create all kinds of weapons. With enough proficiency you can directly control the blood in your enemy and harm them. Your blood has become a weapon against the enemy; you can kill with it. It is also capable of healing wounds that would normally take days for others to recover from. Your blood is also poisonous to others. If anyone drinks your blood without your permission than your blood will devour them.
• Blood drain (rare): You can absorb the blood of other creatures to replenish your mana, HP, stamina, and strength. The amount of blood you can take will depend on your level of strength and control as well as your intelligence and wisdom. You can boost your stats by absorbing blood. The number of increased stats is determined by the strength of the creature whose blood you have absorbed as well as the amount of blood absorbed. Blood drain: MP, HP, Stamina regeneration, +Stats (random).
* Caution: If you absorb too much blood without control, you can enter a state of bloodlust in which you lose all sense of rational thought as well as the ability to stop yourself from attacking anything that moves. This effect lasts for 15 minutes, after which you return to normal.
• Title earned: [The Progenitor of Vampires]
• Effects: You are the first to awaken this bloodline. You are the beginning of an entire race. Your powers are unique only to you. As a Progenitor you have an innate sense of pride and an attitude to never back down and an insatiable hunger that craves for more. It is your nature to always want more. Thus, You are immune to all mind related abilities, your pride will not allow such things.

* System Notice*
*The vampire race has been known to appear throughout history in cultures across the world, often depicted as demons and beasts in religious texts. The vampire is said to be a beast that drinks human blood, leaving its victims in pain or death. They are described as bloodsucking fiends who prey on the weak. It is believed by some to be a metaphor for sin and guilt.
According to the system records the vampire race existed in different universes but unfortunately they all went extinct or hunted down before the system could reach their world.
─ The vampire races were all hunted by humans and other species due to their unique powers that made them dangerous to others.
Thus, the system also doesn't have a accurate information on vampires. Every information related to vampires comes from the stories and knowledge passed down by other species regarding them. They have been mentioned as a mythological creature by almost all species including human. Some say they are demons while others say they are monsters that exist beyond space and time. Their legends vary across different planets depending on who tells it.
=================================
Looking at all of this notification and skills I became dumbfounded. I thought I was hallucinating. I rubbed my eyes to see clearly but the words were still there...
"did I just become OP" I asked myself dumbfounded.
=================================
A/N - First of all, I am very sorry for the lack of updates. As I have mentioned in the synopsis before I am a college student so I usually don't get enough time to write. So again I am really sorry 😞😞.
• A lot of people might ask the question like "from where did the mc received so much stats?
Ans: For example when you are human you already have a average stat of 10. This stat is not provided by the system. it is your own strength shown in number.
When the MC turned into a Vampire it was his innate strength. after that the system blessed him with extra stats because of his bloodline and titles.
• I hope you can understand my bullshit explanation 🙂😅.
