My Blood Legacy: Reincarnated as a Vampire

Chapter 63: The Treasure Hall

The day was rainy. The redhead boy was sitting on a bench in one of the inner parks of the academy, watching the rain fall. His thoughts were confused, and his dreams had shaken him too much to ignore them. Moreover, if he were to return to his dormitory now, there was the risk of giving in and going after Sara, who would probably never refuse his advances.

However, he was reserving himself as much as possible to not succumb to his desires, especially if it meant corrupting one of the virtues.

Though he seemed fine, every day the dreams had been worsening. With each passing day, more traumatic memories emerged, and it was driving him crazy.

Not just crazy, but possessed. He wanted to find out what happened in his past life, what led him to travel to this land?

His questions always boiled down to just one.

"Who am I?"

Throughout the day, his mind often returned to this same point, this same question, and the answer? He couldn't even think about it anymore.

It was a day off, but he had things to do.

Dante woke up early and took his shower, leaving the dormitory without even saying "Good morning" to Sara, and disappeared. He needed some time alone, and it led him to the park.

There, he pondered about his current life. Honestly, he even considered if he was in a dream. Not that he didn't value his current life, but compared to the memories of the traumas from his previous life, living there felt like a dream.

He could be himself, love the people who loved him, and above all, be strong to defend himself. However, something seemed wrong about this whole reincarnation story.

Unfortunately, he couldn't dwell on it too much at that moment. He needed to go to the library in the morning to receive the prize from the competition. But did he want that? No, he didn't even care about the prizes. He just wanted to show off. In the beginning, it was the Director who wanted to antagonize him in front of everyone.

Dante found himself in front of the imposing Magic Tower, with its carved pillars and images of famous wizards adorning its structure. Even though Dante didn't recognize the faces carved there, he simply moved forward and entered the place.

"I know you're a spear specialist, but this one might end up killing you with its holy power," remarked the Director, returning to the side of the boy who was staring fixedly at the spear.

Dante focused his senses on the spear and perceived its properties. He clearly wanted to grab this weapon, especially since he already had Excalibur stored away, but unfortunately, it was impossible at that moment.

"Holy power... it's a pity I have to hold off on claiming the title of hero until I can fully defend myself," thought Dante, resigned.

Dante returned to his exploration, observing the other items. Fortunately, something caught the boy's attention: a strange mana slowly beckoned to him as he walked.

He turned to where the mana pointed and saw a pair of black earrings with black jewels.

"Director, what is this item?" Dante asked because unlike the other items in the room, there was no identification for the pair of earrings.

"It's called Kynee. Despite the immense amount of mana, it has no practical use," Gaspar said as he opened the showcase where the earrings were displayed.

'Kynee... It's the same feeling as Durandal...,' Dante thought.

"I'll take this," Dante said as he approached and held the pair of black earrings. He couldn't be mistaken.

"Are you sure, boy? There are several items more special than that," Gaspar asked, but Dante ignored him and quickly pierced both his ears and put on the earrings.

Originally, he didn't have piercings because he always regenerated, but he did it without a second thought. It was as if the mana of the earring was screaming to him.

"Well, if that's what you want... Your reward has been given," Gaspar said as he turned around. "You still have some time. If you want to head down to the library and take a look, it's up to you. I have to go to Umbral now," he said and teleported away.

"Weird old man," Dante said as he opened the exit door.
