chapter 4

We were met at the sect's gates by the two who had introduced us to this place. The man took knight and undying and headed into the sect, leaving me alone with teacher. She looked me up and down. "You did good kid, her raspy voice ringing out. But I don't think the code name Death suits you. From the look in your eyes I can that your essence needs to be replenished. From the manual your predecessor left you need to replenish it or you will die of starvation, regardless if you eat or not. You should feel it, deep in your soul you should feel that unquenchable hunger."

I nodded I agreement. I could feel myself starving. And the craving. Not for food but for something else. I didnt know what this essence she spoke of was, but It must be what I needed.

"Well tough shit kid, until your ability awakens you wont be able to get a single drop of essence even if I forced you it. That's just how it works."

She tossed a couple of books at me.

"These two books are going to be your life. The black one is a beginner telekinesis cultivation method. Its pretty weak, but until you master it you can't move on to a specialty. The second is your predecessor Alucard's cultivation method. It's a cultivation method geared towards vampires. He was an actual vampire, you however only have vampiric essence. Hopefully it will work, as you need the essence, and the only method you currently have to absorb essence is through this method. This is of course assuming you can awaken your ability before you starve. If you don't nothing can save you, and your feight will just be to be another wandering corpse like those out there. That's all our fates once we die."

She talked as we walked, and before long we appeared before a large building. It had a huge banner labeled The Undying Legion.

"Welcome to your new home, you belong to the legion from this poi t forward. They are all stronger, faster, and more resilient than you are. However they still agreed to take you, a vampire doesn't just drop out of the sky everyday you know. You will find their cultivation method unique, however it will compliment your vampiric cultivation method quite well. Also you will find your comrade Undying, or whatever her new codename is, has already arrived. "

She left just like that. Some teacher she was, handing me a couple books and handing me off to someone else. Whatever better than nothing I guess. The doors before me opened and a short but busty woman opened the door. Her eyes were a deep red color and her hair matched.

"You must be the vampire" her voice was deep and sulky, instantly putting me into a mild state of arousal. It was obviously meant to catch me off guard, and it almost succeeded. What followed was a quick jab that would have had me on the floor breathless had I fallen under her spell. However I managed to clumsily dodge, taking the hit to my shoulder. It hurt, like getting hit by a truck but all centered only shoulder. I flew back several feet before falling to the ground. A shiver went down my spine. If I had fallen for her trap I would be dead.

The woman nodded at me, giving me a hand up. You're a little weak, but your senses are sharp. When she noticed the books and rabbit in my arms a smile broke out on her face. "A Darkling Rabbit!! These things are so cute!! You don't have to worry about this little girl here, The darling legion is immune to their low grade vampiric aura. Our constitutions are just too high for them to effect us." She went on to lovingly pet warren, who was eyeing her cleavage with a look that no rabbit should have. The little rabbit abandoned me just like that! Whatever happened to bro's before.. well you know.

After warren had been abducted, the woman led me in. "It's so nice to have a junior brother here! I don't even know how long it's been since a male came to this hall, for some reason their physiques cant take our cultivation method, no matter how high their constitution is..."

Wait.. how longs it's been since a male came here? What do you mean. My thoughts were interrupted by the site before me, Undying was surrounded by.. you guessed it, a large group of girls in various states of dress.. or undress in many of the cases. Instead of the anger you would think would greet me the girls looked at me with enthusiasm, quickly swarming towards me. A girl whined seeing the woman who brought me in standing so close to me. "Don't hog the new guy Rose! You know how longs it's been since we've had a Male visitor"

"Yea rose!" Another voice rang out "but why did they give him Death as a code bame?? Hes Soooo cute! Just like his little bunny!!"

A series of shrieks let out as they noticed Warren. Each of them trying to get closer to his little furry body. He seemed to be rather enjoying himself, a mischievous gleam in his eyes. I hardly tears streamed down my face. Finally I got every man's dream of my own harem and they just want the damn rabbit!!!

"Ok ladies" a familiar voice called out, "calm down, both Death and his familiar will be staying here indefinitely, however I do agree, the name death does not seem to fit him. So let's just change it to Dark, on account of his Darkling Rabbit "

In front of me on a balcony overlooking the room was a half dressed woman, she had short red hair, a scar going diagonally down her face, and a large axe strapped to her back. That's right it was my teacher. She didn't abandon me after all!!!

"Teacher!!" I cried, tears running down my face for real. I thought you had abandoned me!!"

Teacher chuckled" you may call me Lotus, and the undying legion is mine. You will wish I had abandoned you though, our legion might have a lot of beauties, but that does not mean life here is easy. In fact it will be hard, and not like your little friend."

She looked over the group of women, Rose take Lily and Dark to their rooms, in an hour we will have a feast to celebrate our new recruits!

Rose grabbed Undying, or rather lily now, and myself leading us down a hallway. She stopped halfway down the hallway, showing lily to a rather spacious room. Before continuing down. My room was on the end, isolated from the others. Its size was not as big as lily's, and was empty except a simple bed and a closet. Folded on the bed was a simple pair of black pants, and a sleeveless hooded cloak, Also black. Grab your clothes and follow me. I will take you to the bath. She covered her nose believe me you need it, she then laughed and walked back down the hall, towards the room we had just come from. I noticed as we walked that none of the rooms had doors, and I saw a lit more of my new comrades then I ever expected, a few even winked at me, as they noticed my eyes wandering around the scenery. If this was a manga I would have a nose bleed for sure!!

The bath ended up being on the end of a hall on the opposite side of the room I had met all the girls. There was of course only the one bath, and all the girls shared it. When I arrived I realized it was already in use, several girls were already busy bathing, and I could see Lily approaching the water, her body as bare as the day she was born. Her cheeks burning a shade of red as she noticed my gaze, but she did not attempt to cover herself up, instead her eyes ran over my body, an expectant look in her eyes as she waited for me to undress.

Tears ran down my face in my mind as I realized I had been reduced to eye candy for these girls! I was like an object just there for their entertainment!! I hardened my heart, as I undressed, and it soon became obvious to the entire bath that it wasn't the only thing that had hardened. Oh well, thankfully I had always been gifted in that department. Let them get an eyeful.

The water was surprisingly hot, which I would have known from the steam if my eyes had not been feasting on the scenery in front of me. As I looked around the bath, I realized how much Lily stood out with her blonde hair, all the other girls hair was various shades of red. With matching eyes. The seen sent a shiver down my spine. Just how much effort had to go into only recruiting girls with these striking features?? And why was Lily let in despite her lack there of??

The bath passed rather quickly, and no inappropriate scenes followed, other than the red eyes eying me like prey. My little buddy quickly shrank down to size as a sense of fear instinctively entered my heart.

As I dressed I realized the black clothes fit me quite well, which was rather strange, I had never told anyone my sizes how did they know?

As I slowly walked towards the large gathering room I had met the girls in, I realized that it was rather dark. Shadows could be seen appearing and disappearing as the small flames of candles danced. My eyes were met with a scene of the girls dressed in cloaks similar to mine, with nothing underneath. Each and every one of them had their heads covered by a hood.

In the center of a round table stood a large bowl, above it hanged some type of beast, it's throat slit, blood running into the bowl. Teacher lotus's voice rang out, and my eyes immediately were drawn to her location. Her rather large breasts could not be contained by the cloak, as they peaked out.

"This is your future Dark, Lily. This is what life has In store for you. Our undying legion are half vampires, we drink the blood of beasts, and soak in their blood to get stronger. Men are unable to cultivate this way do the the abundance and hang energy in their bodies. But it leads to far greater power than other cultivation methods. The requirements are to have increased vitality, and of course to be female. Dark is a special case. As his essence is vampiric, what the creator of this method had. This method was basically designed with him in mind. The benefits he will receive are even greater than ourselves. "

"Any such cultivation method has side effects of course. As the yin energy in our bodies increase it turns our eyes and hair red, our yin energy becomes toxic to those who do not cultivate as we do, so we will never have mates. And of course the requirement of blood. We must always feast on blood, or our essence will deplete and we will die"

"Lily you still have a choice, you can back out now, even though it would be a waste of your potential. Dark however, if you do not awaken your gift and cultivate, you will die."
