“The god of creation was accidentally cut by the Sword of Creation while he created the world, and the blood of creation dripped onto the newly created world.

“The god of creation was merciful, and he used the blood of creation to create the first creatures in this world, the vampires.

“The vampires back then were perfect, and the god of creation loved them the most.

“The vampires could enjoy the sun, and it did them no harm. They were even more strengthened during the day than the night.”

Hearing that, the vampires below burst into a series of gasps and exclamations.

No one could argue against the fact that the vampires feared the sun, but Reed had told them for the first time that the vampires used to not fear the sun. They enjoyed it too.

Lucie could not suppress her curiosity, and she asked, “Patriarch, why could the vampires live under the sun in the beginning?”

Reed waved his hand and did not answer her directly as he continued to tell the story he had made up the night before.

“The vampires are one of the great lifeforms created by the god of creation’s blood, and the sun was also his creation. Would the god of creation create a sun that could harm his own creation? No, he would not.

“So, at the start of the world, the vampires were a holy race comparable to that of the ancient Titans.

“Aside from the ancient Titans, no one came close to the vampires. The ancient Titans ruled the sky, but the vampires ruled the earth.”

“At that time, humanity was still in a barbaric age, while the elves were still fruits on the Tree of Life. Dragons were still learning to fly, orcs had yet to appear, and the dwarves were still learning how to start a fire in the valleys.”

The vampires suddenly had reminiscent expressions on their faces. They did not expect their vampire ancestors to be so powerful.

That had once ruled the word alongside the ancient Titans! What a glorious past that was.

Reed’s expression grew more and more saintly, and his mana-infused words were inciteful.

Thanks to the Progenitor Vampire’s enthusiasm for magic, he discovered something about Charm, a Second Circle Spell, when he was doing research. As long as he did not fully activate the magic model and controlled the mana input, he could use it to increase the persuasiveness of his speech without actually casting the spell.

It was an interesting derivative usage of the spell.

“But all of this changed after a magic experiment. The ancient Titans used magic to create an Eternal Artifact, the Thunder Scepter. This powerful scepter possesses the power of thunder, and the Titans used the Thunder Scepter to steal the god of creation’s power.”

The legend of the Titans stealing the god of creation’s power was in the game’s lore. Legend had it that the Age of the Gods started after the ancient Titans stole the god of creation’s power.

Hence, there were no kinks in Reed’s addition of vampires into that lore.

In any case, outsiders would not believe that heretical drivel anyway. He only needed the vampires to believe it.

“Rumor says, after the god of creation lost part of his divine power, he left the world he loved.

“However, that was not the case. No one would leave traitors unpunished upon losing power. The god of creation did not punish the ancient Titans because he was at war with the most terrifying Lord of Chaos.”

“What is the Lord of Chaos, Father? I’ve never heard of that name before.” Lucie continued to play the role of the problem child.

Reed coughed softly and revealed more of the story he had made up.

“All worlds are created from chaos, and so is our world. The Lord of Chaos was the most terrifying dark god within the chaos, and he devoured worlds as food.”

That made the vampires gasp hard. How terrifying was this dark god that devoured worlds as food?

“Did the god of creation win?”

Reed shook his head and put Lucie’s question on hold as he continued, “The god of creation fought against the Lord of Chaos for millions of years. At a critical moment in their stalemate, the ancient Titans used the Thunder Scepter and stole the god of creation’s power.”

Eudes fumed with anger when he heard what happened. Those treacherous ancient Titans should have been hanged one by one.

“After losing part of his power, the god of creation could no longer hold on. In order to kill the Lord of Chaos, he summoned our ancestors, the holy spirits of the vampires.

“We are the descendants of the god of creation, not those traitorous ancient Titans. For this world, our ancestors embarked on a journey to the Realm of Chaos.

“The Lord of Chaos’ power was unprecedented, and the holy spirits fell one by one in battle.

“The Lord of Chaos sensed the weakening of the god of creation’s powers and started a ferocious offensive. The god of creation’s body, which was sturdier than the mountain, was greatly wounded, and the holy spirits were down to one. As the battle had reached its peak, the god of creation disregarded the void of magic and burned his own lifeforce to use the strongest Chaos Magic, which temporarily trapped the Lord of Chaos. At that moment, the god of creation handed over the Sword of Creation to the holy spirit of the vampires, the Divine Spirit. He used the last of his strength to chop off the dark god’s head.

“We finally won.

“Sadly, the god of creation lost his most vital power and suffered incurable damage during his final battle with the Lord of Chaos. In the end, he fell.

“When the Divine Spirit went beyond the Realm of Chaos, several brave human kings followed us. Even though the humans could not compare to the vampires in combat, they made great contributions too, and several humans perished while they tried to rescue the holy spirit of the vampires.

“Before he died, the Lord of Chaos used the last of his chaos power and branded the vampires who resisted him, cursing them to forever need the blood of their friends. The vampires, who once loved to live under the sun, would also forever be harmed by sunlight.”

Reed’s tone became extremely grim at this point.

“That is why we can only go about at night and cannot withstand sunlight.

“That is why we can only drink human blood and the blood of orcs, elves, or demons can never satisfy us.

“Humans were once our friends. We are the descendants of the god of creation, and our kind once made great sacrifices for this world.”

Once that last high-pitched sentence was concluded alongside the magic model of the Charm spell, the entire crowd of vampires fell into dead silence.

Reed observed the eyes of the vampires below and cheered in his heart.

It worked.
