"The Blood Clan Progenitor?"
Mu You froze. Wasn't that the Blood Clan ancestor who had been dead for over two thousand years?
A diary recording how he had come into being...
Mu You wore a strange expression, but on reflection, it made sense. All existing vampires had been created generation after generation by this Blood Clan Progenitor, so where had the very first vampire come from?
[Mai handed you a battered ancient book.] [You obtained the Incomplete Vampire Progenitor Diary.]
Mu You retrieved the diary and took a look.
An incredibly old book appeared in his hands. Though called a diary, it looked more like a newly unearthed artifact. Its pages were yellowed and curled, nine out of ten were damaged beyond recognition, and the writing was so blurred it was barely legible.
Mu You asked Mai to wait in the game, then sat down and carefully read through the entire "diary."
Some of the writing was simply too blurred, and the diary's narrative itself was fragmented. After over an hour of marking passages, Mu You finally managed to piece together only some of its information through a mixture of guesswork and deduction.
The gist was that long ago, this Blood Clan ancestor had been an ordinary farmer in the Star Spirit World. Then, one day, he had stumbled into a mysterious city and stayed there for six months. After leaving, he possessed the ability to live indefinitely and various miraculous Blood Clan powers.
However, he had lost all his memories of that city. He had absolutely no recollection of how he had acquired his curses and powers. It was as though someone had forcibly cut those six months of experiences out of his mind.
All that remained in his mind was a name and a legend.
