“The Twelve Heroes, huh…”Rhys lowered his gaze, quietly turning the information over in his mind.Charlotte nodded.“Yes. They were the people who spread the knowledge of Mana and the summoning ritual throughout the world.”Her voice carried a note of respect.“Before them, humanity was on the verge of extinction. They were the ones who organized the resistance against the Abyssals and taught others how to fight back.”“Their efforts bought humanity time. Their sacrifices allowed civilization to survive long enough to recover and continue the war.”She paused before adding,“Out of those twelve, there are four individuals in the current era who are widely believed to have inherited part of their legacy.”Rhys looked up.“The first is the man known as the Dragon King. He possesses the same draconian familiar that once belonged to the Draconic Hero.”“The second is the current king of the Virelith Kingdom. One of the original heroes came from Virelith, so it isn’t surprising that someo

Rhys sucked in a sharp breath.The four ancient kingdoms.One of them was the Virelith Kingdom.Just hearing that sent a chill through him. He immediately leaned forward.“What exactly did they do to earn a nickname like that?”Charlotte let out a long sigh.“You really have no idea.”She folded her arms.“It was a place beyond reason. People there respected only strength. Nothing else mattered.”Her expression darkened as she continued.“If someone didn’t like the way your boots looked, they could kill you in the middle of the street. If a stronger person wanted your house, your land, or even your family, they could take everything from you without consequences.”“There was no justice. No fairness. The strong ruled, and the weak endured whatever fate was handed to them.”“When Asura rose to power, things only became worse.”Rhys listened quietly.Charlotte’s voice remained calm, but there was unmistakable disgust behind it.“He slaughtered every enemy he had. Anyone who stood against

“There are only 346,120 books,” Charlotte answered.Rhys stared at the endless shelves stretching across the enormous library and then looked back at her.“And you’ve read all of them?”Charlotte gave him a flat look.“Of course not. Even with two hundred years, it would be difficult to read every single book here by myself. That’s especially true when new knowledge keeps appearing and older information constantly needs updating. I’ve only read around half of them.”Rhys let out a low whistle.“Almost a thousand books a year. That’s still insane, you know.”He shook his head in disbelief.“Then do you at least know the contents of all the books here?”“What do you think?” Charlotte sighed. “I don’t possess a photographic memory. Even if I could memorize every page, some information would inevitably be lost when I’m eventually integrated back into my original self.”She paused before adding,“That said, I understand the general contents of most books. If I need something specific, I si

‘Risa becoming a vampire progenitor?’Rhys stared at Charlotte in disbelief.The idea sounded absurd at first, but the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.If his blood truly possessed the ability to create a vampire progenitor, then it wasn’t just some unusual trait. It was something capable of changing the balance of power across the entire world.People would go insane for something like that.The first thing powerful organizations would think about was not friendship or cooperation. They would think about ownership.Kidnap him.Lock him up.Drain his blood.Use it to raise an army of vampire progenitors.If Charlotte’s theory was correct, countless Beast Tamers would start summoning vampires simply because the reward was too tempting. There would be a guaranteed path toward creating one of the strongest vampire existences imaginable.From a business perspective, it was ridiculous.He could probably sell a single vial of blood for a fortune.Kings would pay for
Chapter 174
“Why did a vampire evolve from sucking my blood?”The moment Rhys asked the question, Charlotte answered almost immediately, as though she were reciting knowledge from a book she had studied countless times.“There are multiple reasons. First of all, do you know what the vampire sucks?”“Blood.”“Then what does blood contain?”“Hmm? Red blood cells, white blood cells, or something like that?” Rhys tilted his head. “I don’t know a lot about biology.”Charlotte shook her head.“Your blood is influenced by your Mana and your soul. If you are a being from another world, that influence changes your blood as well. And because you possess a unique Mana capable of summoning beasts, we already know your blood differs from that of ordinary people.”Rhys frowned.“That’s weird.”He spent a moment thinking before continuing.“If that’s the case, why did the person who first discovered Mana in my body say I possessed a tremendous amount of it? When I summoned my first familiar, I only had sixty Ma
Chapter 173
Questions kept piling up in Rhys’s mind.The more he thought about it, the more unsettling everything became.How exactly had he arrived in this world?Charlotte’s words had opened a door he had never seriously considered before. Once she started questioning the existence of familiars, countless other questions followed.What had really happened to Gealion, Nidhogg, and Anubis in their original legends?Why were they here?If beings who had already died in their own stories could be summoned, then what did death even mean in the first place?Rhys lowered his gaze.‘Should I accept this deal?’The thought refused to leave him.‘Even the Fairy Queen doesn’t seem to know why I ended up here. If that’s the case, having someone obsessed with uncovering the truth might actually help me. At the very least, she’ll uncover information that I can’t find on my own.’His eyes narrowed.‘And this isn’t just anyone. This is the Fairy Queen. One of the greatest familiars this world has ever known.’
