Max woke up with a splitting headache for like the fifth time this week.
There was blood and organs all around him, as he seemed to be inside a medical room of some sort.
' Was I hospitalised? ' Max wondered for a moment, but soon the memories flooded back in as he remembered the events leading to him blacking out.
' So I'm a vampire now, I guess ' Max thought
Surprisingly, Max did not panic one bit upon waking up, his mind was crystal clear and his emotions were cold and stable.
Max distinctly remembered feeling uneasy at the sight of the room, the first time he woke up here, however, this time around the blood and the organs did not seem to make him uneasy at all, if anything it gave him a tingling sensation.
As the scent of blood entered Max's nose, Max instinctively bared his newly grown fangs as he hissed like a vampiric creature.
The hiss was almost instinctive, uncontrollable just like a sneeze, a reaction to the ' Thirst ' his body felt at the sight of blood.
No longer bound by the restraints that were placed on his body when he first came here, Max was able to move this time around as he stood up from the table he was sleeping on, feeling odd for some reason.
The first thing that Max noticed was that his height had increased, his own body felt larger than usual for him.
Max was at a decent 6 feet height before this incident, however, now he seemed to have grown at least 3-4 inches, growing more physically dominant.
The next thing that Max noticed was that the quality of his vision had improved significantly, and he could zoom in and zoom out of focus on an object at will, almost like a camera lens.
This was an odd feeling for Max, who had been a human for his entire life uptil now, with a stagnant vision lens.
The ability to zoom in and out of focus felt foreign and unusual to him, but his practical mind understood the uses that this sort of ability had and he was glad for it.
The third thing that Max noticed was that he felt extremely powerful. His muscles felt several times stronger than he remembered them to be.
" Show system screen ". Max murmured as his system screen appeared before him

Straight away, Max noted a lot of changes to his system screen.
The biggest change was obviously that his race had changed from Human to Primordial vampire, however, there were many other one's as well.
Max's level had improved from 3 to 10, levelling up 7 times somehow during the procedure.
His stats had changed as well, everything except intelligence stat saw a boost with the biggest change being in strength and constitution stats, which were improved by a large margin.
Max was right to feel powerful, his body had undoubtedly changed for the better.
Another major change was that Max had gained a few actual skills, two passive skills and one active skill.
Max pulled the information of the skills that he had gained
[ Night Vision ] ( Passive ) - You can see as clearly in the dark as you can in the light.
[ Blood Manipulation ] ( Beginner ) - You have the ability to manipulate small quantities of blood. Provided it's already in liquid form and exposed to the environment.
[ Basic Moonlight Self Healing ] ( Passive ) - A bloodline trait of the Nightblade clan, allows users to heal wounds naturally under the moonlight.
' Not bad skills at all ' A voice mumbled in Max's head as a smile appeared on Max's face.
' Grandpa Drax…. ' Max thought with an emotional voice and received a snort from Drax as a response
Max did not mind the response, he knew that if he was alive at this moment, a big part of it was only because of Drax, although the memories of his vampirefication were fuzzy, he remembered mumbling with Drax nonstop during the process.
Max tried to walk towards the exit, but was stopped at the sight of his own self when he came across his reflection against the shiny steel of a medical machine.
Max had jade white skin now, the same shade maintained by Korean supermodels but his eyes were a deep blood red, not a beautiful crimson like Asiva's, but a murderous red like that of Severus.
He still had his flowing black hair and black eyebrows for which he was glad, however he looked a lot more vampire now than he looked human.
Before Max could come to terms with the reality of his new identity, the door to the lab burst open as Severus barged inside clapping as he beamed with joy looking at Max still being mentally sane
" Max! You have ABSOLUTELY no idea, just how glad I am to see that you have not been consumed by bloodlust and madness and still have a sense of self and sanity.
I would have been in deep sorrow if you err died. But all's good now that you have woken up! " Severus placed his hands across Max's shoulders and stared deep into his eyes as he cast an inspection spell over Max's body.
Max frowned, however did not resist as he knew that it was futile to resist anyway, however, the reaction from Severus when he realised that Max actually obtained the blood manipulation ability was absolutely priceless.
" OH HAVE MERCY! MY LORD HEAVENS ! ". Severus said as he panted, seemingly losing his balance and crashing on the floor
" The dream of my ancestors is completed! WE HAVE DONE IT! I HAVE DONE IT! ". Severus screamed in joy as he laughed rolling on the floor in absolute madness.
