Bestiary/Vampires

## Vampires

An ageless Race created by Agatheina, the Goddess of Blood.

The origins of their mystical bloodline come from Agatheina's time as mortal when Genesis was a single planet. In her journey for power and reaching godhood, she had gone through countless hardsh.i.p.s, gathering the bloodline of powerful beasts and mystical materials.

After dozens of years, when she was in her last years of elderly age, she managed to complete the bloodline, inserting it into her blood and instantly gaining youth once again. However, her skin became pale white, her eyes turned scarlet red, and her hair white silver.

She felt an incredible thirst for blood and a big weakness for Light, Holy, and the Sun. Her entire body went through an evolution, obtaining Monstrous Strength that shouldn't belong in such a delicate body, amazing abilities like Demon Eyes, masterful Blood Manipulation, and other abilities like the creation of Steel Demon Hair and Thread.

Although she sees this as a curse, Agatheina also gained the ability to transform into a giant Bat-like beast with even more tremendous strength and physical prowess.

After this bloodline was obtained, she easily ascended to godhood and created her children by mating with strong human mortals.

Her first children inherited most of her abilities, but as they had their own children, the abilities started to separate between more, and each Vampire was only born with a single power, either a Demon Eye, Demon Thread/Hair, Transformation, Monster Summoning, etc.

She also could make almost any other race into a Vampire, but she rarely practiced this, only making her children convert other mortals, gaining hundreds of subordinates, which she welcomed as her own children as well.

When the Demon Gods gathered and created the Thanatos Kingdom in the Realm of Vida, she was invited to join, as she had good relationsh.i.p.s with them.

Her family then became one of the Noble Families, and even though they weren't Demons, they were greatly recognized by their strength, becoming the secret agents for royalty, directly serving the King and Queen through the years.

Most Vampires develop a weakness to Light, Holy, Fire, and the Sun, but there are occasions where Vampires are born without these weaknesses, although these are exceedingly rare.

There are other similar cases where Vampires are born with several abilities at the same time and others where their original bloodlines awaken and become even stronger after turning into Vampires.

It is an amazingly strong race, but their numbers are smaller compared to the Demons, and their lower ranks like Servant Vampires or Subordinate Vampires are usually still very weak compared to young pure-blooded Demons or even mixed blooded Demons.

However, as they evolve and develop their abilities, Vampires can easily compete with Pure-Blooded Demons even if they are raised from Subordinate or Servant Vampires.

Compared to an average Human Knight or Adventurer, however, a Subordinate Vampire is vastly superior. And because they can evolve and gain Classes, they can grow faster than Humans.

The only reason Vampires haven't overthrown humans is because Agatheina herself is wary of them, and because in the Border Continent, Humans are rare or scarce, as the greater population is gathered in the two Central Continents, guarded by gods and dozens of Heroes.
