Chapter 1: The Shadow of the Sun

Returning to her room, Serise collapsed limply onto the bed.

The light from the chandelier fell across her face, where a few beads of sweat still clung.

Whether it was for the beloved character or for her own survival, she wanted to change the miserable ending that had been written for her.

“When the last feather blade sank into her chest, the silver-haired girl fell weakly. Her pretty eyes no longer shone. She stared fixedly at the sky, as if voicing endless resentment.”

That was her ending in the original novel.

Serise clenched her fists and began to think of a countermeasure.

She knew the plot well, and she still remembered the Vampire Princess’s abilities and stats.

Strength D, Speed C, Life D, Destruction C, Range D, Growth SS.

Those were the Vampire Princess’s starting stats.

She had extremely high growth potential, but she was relatively weak early on, even worse than a mage casting behind a sturdy tank familiar.

Still, she felt the Vampire Princess’s ability had to be one of the most broken in the entire book.

The Vampire Princess’s growth came in three stages.

In the first stage, her initial stage, she could absorb an opponent’s blood to obtain their ability, no matter how strong the opponent was.

The more blood she drank, the more her base stats, like strength and speed, would rise accordingly.

‘I need to find a way to get stronger first.’ Serise thought silently.

In the original novel, the protagonist group discovered her ability, deemed her a massive threat, and hunted her down.

After drinking enough blood, the Vampire Princess would evolve to the second stage and unlock a new ability.

[Blood Imprint]

By drinking blood, she could plant a Blood Imprint in the target’s soul, making them her familiar and enslaving their soul and body.

They would obey her every command.

From stealing abilities to stealing people directly.

And whether she stole abilities or people, there was no limit to the number.

As long as she could develop into the late game, other people might have one familiar, while she could have one familiar after another… no, an army!

As for the third stage, she had no idea what it was.

Before the original author could explain it, the Vampire Princess died under the protagonist group’s siege.

Still, Serise had a feeling the third stage might be something absurdly strong, strong enough to defy the heavens.

Second, she needed to control Landina and keep her from carelessly wasting a contract spell with powerful effects.

That was a treasure that could turn the tables in a desperate situation!

Don’t use it in such a weird place!

And right now, she had already used one.

Human desire was the hardest thing to endure.

Trying to change the young lady’s strange orientation and intense desires at the root was clearly unrealistic.

What was easier to change… was herself?

In the original novel, the silver-haired Vampire Princess would rather die than submit, which made Landina so horny that she used the contract spell.

If Serise obeyed her, Landina probably wouldn’t use the contract spell.

Tch…

There was no other way.

She would just go along with it a little.

It was better than dying.

The young lady was a pervert, but she was still pretty.

Even so, this was absolutely not voluntary, okay!

It was all to survive, okay!

Serise lay in bed, letting her thoughts run wild.

Sleepiness gradually rose, and her eyelids kept fighting to close.

She lay there and soon fell asleep.

The gentle morning sunlight, with a few hazy rays, printed itself on the spotless white brick floor and filled the room with a silvery, gem-like gleam.

The glow fell on the silver-haired girl sleeping soundly in bed.

Rings of light bloomed across her lovely milky-white skin.

In her drowsy haze, Serise felt something round and long poking her cheek.

Its tip was a little hard.

Annoyed at having her sleep disturbed, she opened her mouth on instinct and sank her sharp fangs hard into the thing messing with her face.

“Eek!”

A girl’s startled cry reached her ears.

Serise cracked her eyes open and saw Landina standing in front of her, clutching her bitten finger, on the verge of tears.

“Serise, you’re naughty. That hurt.”

“That’s what you get for waking me up.” Serise yawned. “It’s so early. What do you want?”

“Hurry and get up. School starts today, and I have to take you to the academy to register.” Landina put her hands on her hips and looked at Serise with some resentment. “We also have to draw your opponent for the opening match, so hurry up.”

School registration?

A combat match?

Serise frowned, then quickly remembered.

According to the original novel’s plot, today was the day vacation ended and the Mage Academy opened.

Landina would take the Vampire Princess to the academy to register and draw her opponent for the opening exam match.

And her first opponent was a woman out of a nightmare.

“Fine.” Serise yawned and stretched.

Her slip strap slid from her shoulder, baring skin soft enough to break with a breath.

It made a stunning sight.

Serise looked up and noticed Landina’s gaze was a little off, so she quickly grabbed a coat from the chair and put it on.

After breakfast, Serise followed Landina out and headed to the academy.

She had to admit, the food at Landina’s home was quite good.

Serise was satisfied.

Although her race was vampire, she didn’t have to live on blood alone.

She only needed to consume blood regularly.

Her tongue could still taste the deliciousness of human food.

Well, they were a great noble family after all.

At least their household wasn’t poor, and they could afford all kinds of fine food for her.

The trip wasn’t too far.

After about twenty minutes, they stopped in front of a solemn and elegant building.

Tall round domes, soaring spires, stained glass windows depicting the kingdom’s history.

It was slender, tall, sharp, and full of mystery.

This was the largest mage academy in the country.

The Arden Kingdom’s Euphemia Mage Academy.

It had an extremely strong faculty.

Every year, hundreds of outstanding mages graduated from it and became pillars of the kingdom.

It was also the academy countless commoners would kill to enter.

As long as you got in, your future was secure.

But the entrance exam was extremely strict.

If your family had no connections, getting in was as hard as reaching the heavens.

As the young lady of a great family, Landina naturally could enroll.

Still, her own strength wasn’t bad either.

After showing her student ID to the gatekeeper, Landina pulled Serise into the solemn and elegant building.

In the center of the lavishly decorated hall, where every brick and tile seemed to carry an air of nobility, stood a long nanmu wood table.

Piles of documents were stacked on it.

On one side of the table, people in academy staff uniforms wrote with their heads down or looked up to talk.

On the other side, many students lined up neatly.

“Yo, haven’t seen you all vacation. You’ve gotten this lame? What kind of familiar did you summon?”

“Just a very ordinary race. I don’t have much backing, so I couldn’t get a good catalyst or a high-level summoning formula.”

“Same here. Who do you think summoned the strongest familiar this year?”

“Who else? The news spread through the whole academy. That first-year kid. Tsk tsk, what luck. Don’t tell me he has a protagonist halo?”

“I’m so jealous.”

The two male students nearby chatted on and off.

Serise stood to the side, listening out of boredom.

“Look! She’s here, she’s here!”

“What a beautiful familiar. So big, so white, and insanely strong.”

A wave of gasps suddenly rose in the hall and drew everyone’s attention.

They looked toward the entrance.

The moment they saw her, they all froze.

It was a woman like an angel.

Or perhaps she truly was an angel.

Pale golden hair hung loosely around her.

She wore pure white Valkyrie-style armor that left parts of her body exposed.

Three pairs of flawless white wings behind her held her slightly above the ground.

She was grace itself.

That holy beauty shook the soul, as if it could dispel all darkness and evil.

Compared to the painted women of the mortal world, she was like the blazing sun beside a firefly.

“Good heavens, such holy beauty could purify all darkness and evil in the world.”

“The moment I saw her, I felt my soul being purified…”

“An angel who pities the world has descended to the mortal realm…”

The ones staring weren’t just students.

Some faculty and staff also gaped at the incomparably holy angel and praised her.

Some with weak magic even knelt on the ground in submission.

Her divine figure hovered slightly in the air.

She looked down from above at the stunned crowd.

In her gorgeous white-gold eyes was a cold indifference to everything.

The corner of her pretty mouth twitched.

Those gazes disgusted her.

“What disgusting looks.” She narrowed her eyes. “A race as low as straw dogs dares to gaze upon a god?”

If her summoner weren’t right there, she would have loved to go on a rampage and purify every lowly creature who defiled her with their eyes.

Serise stood in a corner of the hall and watched her coldly.

Her crimson pupils were like the coldest freezing point in the depths of an abyss.

She recognized the platinum-haired woman.

She was the familiar summoned by the original protagonist: the Holy Angel Selena.

The red-haired boy beside her was the original novel’s protagonist.

During vacation, he was chased and ran into his family’s warehouse in a panic.

There he found a feather left by his father, a Holy Angel’s feather.

Using it as a catalyst, he summoned the strongest familiar, Holy Angel Selena, and turned the tables.

But only Serise knew that this woman was actually a sanctimonious b*tch.

Later, when she was torturing people to death, she didn’t look like an angel who pitied the world.

She looked like a vengeful ghost coming to claim lives.

And she was also the opponent Serise had drawn for the opening match.
