Ch.30EP 1 Fenrir

“Gasp…”

“Gasp…!”

I narrowed my eyes and looked around.

Gazes filled with strange anticipation.

Those sparkling eyes belonged to my subordinates, Aurel, and Hwang-gu.

Only then did I notice that my current position was quite inappropriate.

I was naked, straddling a human woman’s stomach after stripping her upper body.

Naturally, this would be misunderstood.

But I was confident. I had no such intentions, and something this large wasn’t my preference.

I glanced at MoonRabbitVv’s enormous chest with disdain before getting up.

“Sob… sob…”

MoonRabbitVv was crying with her slightly reddened face turned to the side.

“W-what are you going to do now?”

Aurel’s voice was filled with strange anticipation.

What else would I do but drag her outside and kill her?

After all, offensive actions were impossible inside this shop.

“I’ll kill her.”

MoonRabbitVv looked shocked at my calm statement.

Aurel and Hwang-gu were surprised as well.

She showed hostility the moment she saw me. Isn’t killing her the obvious choice?

If this hadn’t been a shop but an ordinary place, a bullet might have lodged in my head by now.

“Please don’t kill me!”

MoonRabbitVv attempted another meaningless resistance, begging for her life in a loud voice.

I looked down at her and shook my head.

“Hmm…”

“Please…”

Why should I spare a human?

I crossed my arms and tilted my head.

Not wearing clothes made me feel slightly empty below.

“I’ll do anything, anything…”

“She says she’ll do anything!”

Aurel reacted intensely to MoonRabbitVv’s words.

I ignored Aurel and fell into thought.

She said she’d do anything. Does that mean she’s willing to become livestock that provides meat and blood without dying?

“Will you really do anything?”

I suddenly thought of the vampires gathered at the cathedral.

Although two humans were helping them, it was woefully insufficient to feed nearly fifty vampires.

What if one more person—no, one more livestock—was added?

Like what the werewolves do, extracting blood until they’re on the verge of death.

Just barely keeping them alive.

Using minimal potions to extract maximum blood.

Maximum efficiency.

“A-anything…”

“Right, anything. As long as you’re barely breathing, that’s fine, right?”

“N-no! Not that!”

MoonRabbitVv shouted with a pale face, as if recalling something from my words.

As I frowned and sighed, Aurel carefully spoke up.

“Charlotte…!”

“What?”

“Why not make her your subordinate instead?”

“Subordinate… ah…”

I considered the benefits of making her my subordinate at Aurel’s suggestion.

If she becomes my subordinate, MoonRabbitVv cannot refuse my orders.

It means I can extract a lot of information from her, just like I did with Yeppi.

I made my decision.

To add one more subordinate.

“N-no way…”

As I stood up and began to reach out, Yeppi muttered blankly.

She seemed to have noticed what I was about to do.

I smiled lightly and said:

“Eat.”

A simple command.

My voice, slightly excited and tinged with laughter, slowly dispersed.

“Huh…?”

MoonRabbitVv, who had been begging for her life, questioned my sudden behavior.

But there was no time to answer her question.

CRACK-

A massive beast’s head surged from the shadow beneath my feet.

At the appearance of the hideous beast, MoonRabbitVv could only gape with a pale face.

“Aurel, Hwang-gu.”

I called for Aurel and Hwang-gu.

The others were part of my shadow subordinates, so it wouldn’t matter if they were eaten together, but these two were different.

“Yes!”

“Yesss!”

Hwang-gu and Aurel rushed over at my call.

Even though the two girls had moved away, MoonRabbitVv couldn’t move.

All preparations were complete.

I gave a signal to the shadow beast, which immediately closed its mouth.

CRUNCH-

After swallowing MoonRabbitVv, the shadow soon spat out a large egg.

Inside, MoonRabbitVv’s form would be transforming.

I turned to face the shop NPC.

“Looking for something?”

“Show me your goods.”

“Hmm…”

The shop NPC nodded at my words.

At that moment, an interface commonly seen in games appeared before my eyes.

[Black Underarmor]

Level Requirement: 5

Defense +5

A basic armor commonly available in shops.

It automatically adjusts to fit the wearer’s body size.

10,000 Credits

[Ankle Support]

Level Requirement: 5

Defense +2

Strength +1

A basic armor commonly available in shops.

It slightly reduces the probability of ankle injuries.

10,000 Credits

[Black Leggings]

Level Requirement: 5

Defense: +5

A basic armor commonly available in shops.

It automatically adjusts to fit the wearer’s body size.

10,000 Credits

“Sigh…”

I sighed as I looked at the items for sale.

I had slight expectations, but as expected, only very basic armor was available.

And the prices were even higher than weapons.

“Do you also buy items?”

“Of course.”

I nodded and gestured toward my shadow.

Then the skill books we had farmed from the bookstore poured out.

“Oh…”

The shop NPC exclaimed at the considerable number of skill books.

I received credits from him and purchased the black leggings and ankle support.

I wanted to buy some for Hwang-gu and Aurel too, but I didn’t have enough credits.

“Hmm…”

I tried on the very thin leggings.

The size, which was slightly large for me, instantly shrank to fit my lower body the moment I put them on.

It was quite an aggressive look with my body curves fully exposed.

The end of the leggings bit into my soft thighs, creating a strange line.

Then I equipped the ankle support.

Although my stats and defense increased, I didn’t feel particularly stronger.

After finishing the basic armor equipment, I summoned my shadow to create the clothes I usually wore.

“Ah…”

Aurel sighed with disappointment at the sight.

Hwang-gu didn’t say anything, but her perked-up ears drooped, suggesting she had similar thoughts.

Why am I surrounded by people like this?

Just as I was about to scold Aurel and Hwang-gu:

CRACK-

A sudden familiar sound.

When I turned my head, cracks were forming on the large egg.

It seemed my new subordinate was about to be born.

“Charlotte…! A new child is about to be born!”

“I know.”

“It’s your child, Charlotte!”

My subordinate, my child.

It wasn’t exactly wrong, but somehow it felt strange.

My expression slightly crumpled.

At that moment.

CRACK-

The black egg completely shattered.

“Huh…”

What poured out from inside was, of course, a girl resembling me.

Long silver hair and a beautiful, pure white naked form.

At that moment, information about the girl was transmitted through my Mystic Eye.

[MoonRabbitVv]

Level: 13

Race: Vampire (Charlotte’s Subordinate)

Health 100%

Mana 100%

Emotional State: Panic, Fear

I nodded as I looked at the information.

MoonRabbitVv’s transformation into a subordinate was successful.

Her level had decreased considerably, which seemed to be a penalty for becoming a subordinate.

“T-this…”

MoonRabbitVv stood up and examined her body.

Unable to accept her transformed appearance, her face crumpled into a tearful expression.

Aurel, fascinated by MoonRabbitVv’s transformation, approached and began poking her soft skin with her finger.

Each time Aurel’s finger touched, the soft skin seemed to bite back at the small finger.

Hwang-gu started sniffing MoonRabbitVv.

Crouched down with her nose twitching, she looked more like a puppy than a wolf.

“Eek…! Eek…!”

“Aurel.”

I called Aurel back.

If I left her alone, Aurel’s fingers might have poked holes in MoonRabbitVv’s skin.

Eventually, Aurel retreated with a sulky expression.

“How do you feel?”

“F-feeling… strange…”

MoonRabbitVv answered tearfully.

Her gaze looking up at me seemed much cuter than before.

I was reminded once again of my weakness.

Indeed, I’m weak to children.

“Get inside for now.”

“What? Inside?”

I put MoonRabbitVv into my shadow.

We needed to get out of here quickly.

The loud explosion must have echoed throughout the city.

It was only a matter of time before humans arrived.

Although MoonRabbitVv had caused a considerable delay, gaining another cute subordinate wasn’t a loss.

“Let’s go.”

I led Aurel and Hwang-gu out of the sewer.

It was a shame I couldn’t buy more armor, but now that I knew the location, I just needed to gather credits.

Fortunately, we didn’t encounter any human users as we left the sewer.

Just as we exited the sewer and entered a suitable building:

The scent of blood began wafting from afar.

Human blood.

And quite a lot of it.

“Sniff sniff!”

Hwang-gu, sensitive to smells, also raised her head and began sniffing.

I stroked Hwang-gu’s head and carefully looked out the window.

At the end of the road shrouded in darkness, a group of humans was approaching rapidly.

They weren’t running on two legs. They were riding something.

VROOM-!

A clear engine sound coming from afar.

The humans were riding motorcycles.

There were as many as 10 motorcycles running smoothly.

As I gaped blankly at the sight of what looked like motorcycle gangs speeding down the road in the late dawn, the humans approached the explosion site.

The humans stopped and began dismounting from their motorcycles one by one.

I checked their information through my Mystic Eye.

Two humans at level 20.

The remaining eight also had considerably high levels.

After dismounting, the humans showed signs of caution before diving into the collapsed sewer.

Only two humans remained on the road.

It seemed those two were keeping watch.

I stared blankly at the sleek motorcycles.

As if showing they had been well-maintained, each motorcycle was gleaming.

Of course, without relevant knowledge, I couldn’t tell what models they were.

But.

I want one.

At that moment, I had a good idea.
