Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine

"But who is going to turn her into a vampire?" In a state of panic, rather than rejecting such an offer, Alex asked how it could be possible.

He couldn't lose someone close to him again. Someone who cares for him…he won't let them die like this again.

He couldn't prevent his mother's death since she was already beyond help when he reached her, but right now, there was a hope that he could save his teacher.

Natasha said, "The blood ritual. Along with mine, a human's blood needs to be fed."

"Can you do it?" He urgently asked, the breathing of the woman was turning fainter by the second.

Natasha nodded before she instantly moved back and found a clearing amidst the broken mess.

She drew her blood and began to draw on the ground while chanting something under her breath.

Alex hugged Jullie closely and continued to whisper, 'Everything would be all right...just hang in there...'

Natasha moved in a circular path, drawing a circle on the ground which was the Binding Layer.

Then, she connected three lines before drawing another circle, which was the Transition Layer.

And then connecting it to the final layer in the middle which was the Core of Transformation.

Once she was done, she said, "Lay her down in the middle."

Alex nodded, and while avoiding stepping on the patterns, he rested Jullie in the middle of the ritual mark. Continue your adventure with My Virtual Library Empire

Natasha stood at the edge of the circle, her platinum hair levitated as the dark magic pulsed beneath her feet.

She raised her hands, fingers curling as if weaving an unseen thread, and began to chant in a voice both melodic and cold,

"Blood that binds, blood that stains,

From mortal flesh, I strip the chains.

By fangs unbroken, by night untamed,

Rise anew, in darkness claimed."

Saying so, she dropped a few droplets of blood in the outer ring.

The ring glowed with deep crimson illumination before the energy surged toward Jullie.@@novelbin@@

*CREAK*

Jullie's body lay motionless within the glowing magic circle, her skin pale as death. The ritual's dark energy wrapped around her like creeping vines, seeping into her flesh.

At first, nothing happened. Then—her fingers twitched.

Her veins darkened, turning black as they pulsed violently as if something was forcing life back into her dying body. Her breathing, weak and ragged, suddenly stopped. The circle flared. A sharp crack echoed through the air as her ribs shifted, her bones reinforcing themselves.

Her muscles tightened, reshaping, as her once frail body took on a new, eerie strength. Her lips parted slightly, revealing sharp canines that hadn't been there before. A deep red glow flickered behind her closed eyelids, her heartbeat slow, but steady—unnatural.

Her transformation wasn't gentle—it was like her body was being forced into something new, something dark, something powerful.

Natasha gestured towards Alex before the silver head also slit his wrist and began pouring his blood into the second circle, while Natasha continued to chant,

"Blood remember, shadows weave,

Show the master you must heed.

No chains may break, no lies may sever,

Bound in truth, bound forever."

The blood from Alex levitated upon reaching the core, getting absorbed by Jullie.

Her body curled, dark energy wrapped around her like a blanket as Alex felt an ominous sensation from the person.

Natasha was nervous since this was the first time she had performed this ritual.

Changing a human or any other race intoa vampire was forbidden because of several reasons. And if she hadn't identified Alex as her father today, she wouldn't have bothered with the woman.

However, now her life and death mattered to her since the woman mattered to her father.

Alex covered his wound and watched in anticipation, waiting for Jullie to move...to open her eyes...or he would regret it for the rest of his life.

"Come on...Professor-ah!" A gasp left his lips as suddenly, before he could move, something wrapped around his waist, and something sharp was inserted in his neck.

Alex slowly turned his gaze and found flowing violet hair beside him.

"Professor Jullie...?"

She didn't hear his voice, nor did she reply...but it was a fact that she was alive.

Natasha heaved a sigh of relief as the ritual circle faded into nothingness.

Slowly, she approached the duo before explaining to him, "She has just awakened her vampire side, so it's common for her to show an unnatural side."

Alex held her back to support Jullie as he asked, "She will be all right, right?"

Natasha nodded, "She is a Vampire now; unless her head and body aren't separated, she would live for a thousand years, at least."

Alex finally, heaved a long sigh of relief. Although he knew he hadn't taken many things into consideration, what mattered the most was for Jullie to live.

Natasha further informed, "She will be hungry, for power and blood. She would try to break things, would lose her control over her emotions, and try to hurt people."

Alex raised his brows in slight anxiety, "How long will this stay? This unstable state?"

Natasha seemed contemplative, "Around three months...or maybe more. It all depends on how much the person wants to control their blood lust. Some took more than three years, and some a few weeks."

Alex believed that Jullie would be able to handle her emotions well...however, until that period, "It would be risky to take her back to the human realm."

Being surrounded by tempting hunts, Jullie would surely lose her control and might attack someone, only to regret it later. And for that, only Alex would be responsible since he failed to protect her.

"She can stay here, under my surveillance. I have trained a few young ones before, and this woman seemed quite mature for her age, in her human form."

Alex was taken aback, "You really will...but why are you helping me out this much?" Although he was the guest of the Vampire Monarch, his daughter wasn't accountable for taking care of Alex and his problems.

Even though he asked, Alex was not expecting any answer, and just as he thought, "I can't tell you that."

...but why was she blushing and fidgeting though...
