Chapter 1: Starting with Purification? Sorry, Your Holy Light Is Making My Experience Skyrocket!
Boom—!!!
The deafening explosion made the entire castle groan.
Boulders from the ceiling mixed with dust and came crashing down; Veridian's consciousness was torn violently out of endless chaos by that very shock.
What greeted him was an agony more unbearable than death.
It was as if someone were stirring his brain with a red‑hot iron rod!
Two utterly different sets of memories collided and tore at his mind like madmen.
One belonged to the twenty‑first century—the corporate drone who had been slowly eaten alive by cancer in a sterile hospital room.
Another presence belonged to this world: a young bloodkin named Viridian.
A vampire?
He collapsed onto the biting cold stone floor, gasping laboriously.
His sharp canine teeth had pierced his lower lip; a faint metallic tang of blood spread through his mouth, reminding him of the absurdity of this reality.
What made it worse was that the memories in this body were filled with a despair deeper than a cancer ward.
He belonged to the thirteenth clan of the bloodline, the "descendant of Cain" whose blood was the thinnest and status the lowest.
A waste.
A disgrace who couldn't even perform the initial embrace to turn an ordinary person.
And now, the only value of his existence was as a chess piece discarded by his family.
"Boom!!"
Another earth-shattering roar came from the main hall of the castle.
A blinding golden radiance, like the sun of divine retribution, fell to the ground, turning half the night sky into daylight!
Holy light!
It is the Holy Light of the Radiant Church!
That pure, majestic energy, full of devastating purifying power, made Veridian's soul instinctively scream and tremble!
"Malignant undead, beneath the Holy Light, you shall all be ash!"
"Praise Luminos, God of the Sun! Purify this place!"
Outside, the paladins' hymns—frenzied to the point of distortion—blended with the clanging of heavy armor, composing a grim symphony of death.
In the depths of his memory, his supposed "elder brother" had locked him in this side chamber just hours ago.
On that handsome, ruthless face was written nothing but contempt.
"Viridian, this is your final contribution to the family. To die at the hands of the Holy Light Knights—consider that your glory."
Glory?
Screw your glory!
In his previous life, he lay on his sickbed, watching his vital signs tick down to zero with helplessness.
In this life, he was treated as cannon fodder, waiting in the cold stone chamber for the despair of purification.
Two waves of extreme negative emotions crashed together, almost grinding his reason to powder!
Why?!
Why must I die so helplessly again!
I don't want to die!!
I want to live!!!
The hysterical roar in his heart seemed to have struck some law hidden in the void.
A strand of golden holy light, like a cunning viper, slipped in through the cracked door and precisely "kissed" the back of his hand.
"Sizzle—!"
A smell like roasting meat, scorched and sharp, rose with thin tendrils of smoke.
A burning pain that reached into his bones made his whole body jolt.
Yet, just at the instant that the agony peaked!
A cold, deathly, emotionless mechanical voice, like an oracle from beyond the ninth heaven, suddenly exploded deep within his mind!
[Host's intense will to survive detected...]
[Conditions met...]
[Proficiency System, formally activated!]
Viridian's body froze instantly.
Immediately after, a translucent, ghostly-blue panel that only he could see unfolded slowly before his eyes.
[Name: Viridian]
[Race: Bloodline (Descendant)] [Health: 10/10] [Strength: 3 (adult male: 5)] [Agility: 6 (adult male: 5)] [Constitution: 2 (adult male: 5)] [Spirit: 7 (5 for adult males)] [Skills: None] [Talents: None]The corner of Viridian's eye twitched violently.
These ridiculous stats—especially that abysmally low 2 Constitution and a mere 10 hit points...
If a passing knight sneezed outside, they'd probably blast me to bits, right?!
"Bang!!"
Just then, the already battered wooden door was utterly smashed to splinters by a tremendous kick!
A young knight clad in silver-white armor, wielding a long cross-shaped sword, charged in.
The holy light emanating from him was like an all-consuming furnace with no shadows—an intense blaze that seared every inch of Viridian's skin!
Agony! Piercing, bone-deep agony!
The numbers on the status panel flickered clearly, jumping for a single beat.
[HP: 9/10]
Immediately after, a new line of golden text flashed and popped up on the panel.
[Ding! You are continuously receiving faint Holy Light damage. Passive skill [Holy Light Resistance] has been unlocked! Current proficiency: 1/100.]
[Ding! [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +1!]
[Ding! [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +1!]
Viridian's breath, in that moment, completely stilled.
His pupils suddenly contracted into dangerous pinpoints.
He stared fixedly at the prompt that kept pulsing, and in his mind it felt as if millions of thunderclaps had exploded at once!
Injured… can that unlock skills?
Getting a singe from the holy light… is that increasing proficiency?!
The trainee knight noticed him too; his young face was a tangle of first-time battle nerves and a feverish sense of mission.
"An isolated vampire whelp? Filthy thing, receive the purification of the Sun God!"
He raised the long sword high, and a gentle yet lethally deadly holy light for Viridian gleamed along the blade.
The brilliance of death.
A moment ago, it had been a life-stealing poison.
But now...
In Viridian's eyes, that fear and despair of death were, in the space of a single second, utterly replaced by a morbid, feverish radiance mixed with ecstasy and madness!
A dead end?
No!
What the hell kind of dead end is that!
This was clearly a broad highway to immortality! A divine "newbie gift pack" that others could never beg for!
"Heh heh..."
"Hehehehe..."
Under the stunned gaze of the trainee knight, the vampiric whelp who should have been trembling under his holy light and howling for mercy not only did not retreat, but instead let out a low, eerie laugh.
That laughter seemed to come from the abyss, making the young knight feel a sudden, inexplicable pang of dread.
The next second, a scene that would haunt him for the rest of his life unfolded.
The gaunt member of the bloodline not only failed to dodge, but instead reached out with the one hand that had been seared by holy light, flesh torn and raw, toward that ever-closer golden radiance!
Madness! He must be mad!
Sizzle—!!
A burning pain ten times fiercer than before washed over him; flesh curled, white bone exposed!
Agony flooded him like a tide, as if it would shred his nerves apart!
[HP: 8/10]
But at the same time!
The tortures from hell were accompanied by the gospel from heaven!
[Ding! You are scorched by Holy Light, [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +5!]
[Ding! [Holy Light Resistance] proficiency +5!]
[Ding! You have been cut by a sharp object (shard). The passive skill "Tough Skin" has been unlocked. Current proficiency 1/100!]
[Ding! You are enduring excruciating pain. The passive skill "Pain Endurance" has been unlocked. Current proficiency 1/100!]
A barrage of system notifications, like the most splendid waterfall, crazily flooded Veridian’s mind!
That cold mechanical voice, at this moment, sounded like the most beautiful, most enchanting symphony in the whole world!
Refreshing!
So fucking refreshing!
"You... you monster! What are you doing?!"
The trainee knight recoiled half a step at the bizarre scene before him; he had never seen such a sinister undead creature.
Viridian slowly lifted his head, his pale face contorted with excruciating pain, yet bursting into a grin so radiant it was grotesque from overwhelming ecstasy.
His crimson eyes locked onto the knight, and that look was not that of someone facing a judge.
It was more like he was looking at a...
A walking, steaming, unimaginably huge experience bundle!
He licked his split lips; his voice was hoarse, but carried a chilling sort of pleasure.
"Just a little more…"
"Your holy light is too weak!"

Just Became a Vampire, I Clinged to Life by Grinding Health Chapter 150
“Ashen Council…”Lilith mouthed the unfamiliar name, her pulse tightening like a drawn wire.Gaia’s last whisper still echoed through the bridge—its ancient presence fading, leaving behind a silence vast enough to drown a galaxy.“Thank you.”The words came not through speakers but directly into their minds, faint as dying starlight. Gaia’s final thought watched the quiet void now freed of the swarm’s madness, where only the distant suns still burned in mute witness.Veridian did not answer. A promise was a promise. The transaction was complete.He lifted his hand. At his fingertip coiled a wisp of purest Termination—not energy, not light, but the embodied concept of an ending, the point where even “protection” itself ceased to exist.He touched the void.The power leapt forth, silent as breath, striking the fading core of Gaia’s consciousne

The ancient voice echoed through the mental link, carrying with it a weariness that seemed to have endured across countless ages.Veridian’s will did not waver in the slightest. He didn’t even answer the question—instead, he asked in return, his tone as cold as the vacuum between stars.“You—or rather, you all—where do you come from?”Lilith stood beside him, lips pressed tightly together as she tried to process what had just happened.The Heart of the Swarm was not a chaotic beast—it was rational. That realization frightened her more than facing the swarm itself.The voice was silent for a moment, as though struggling to find words—or perhaps recalling a memory buried too deep in the abyss of time.“I… I am called Gaia. I am not a being of this universe.”As it spoke, torrents of vast information flooded directly into Veridian’s an

“Talk?”Lilith’s voice quavered; the word itself seemed absurd, trembling as it left her lips. Talk—with that? With the Hive Mind that had just vomited out a moon-sized abomination?Veridian didn’t answer her question. He simply acted.“Nexus,” he commanded, calm and measured, “activate the Genesis Engine. Engage phase-walking protocol. Target: the Heart of the Hive.”The Expedition’s engines made no sound.Instead of roaring to life, the vessel grew still—eerily still. Then its massive hull began to blur, edges dissolving like ink in water. A shimmer rippled through its frame, and in the next heartbeat, the warship became translucent, a phantom adrift between realities.And then, the ghost ship plunged straight into the crimson nebula of living flesh.Lilith’s pupils contracted to pinpoints. She could <

“The core… it sees us!”Lilith’s voice trembled—a terror older than reason, born from the marrow of life itself.Veridian’s gaze did not linger on the starmap for even a heartbeat.That colossal eye spanning the heavens, brimming with cold malice, stirred nothing within him.“No,” he said evenly, as though reciting a law of physics. “It doesn’t see us.”Lilith turned toward him, confused. Beyond the viewport, the red tide of the swarm was rising—a galactic tsunami of flesh and chitin surging from every direction toward the Expedition.The sheer magnitude of it crushed the mind; despair built not from power, but from numbers beyond comprehension.“But they—”“It only senses the void,” Veridian interrupted, his tone calm, almost patient.“I’ve cut the Expedition from the inf

The Expedition tore through the fabric of space, completing its jump.Outside the bridge viewport, the cold, infinite darkness of the void was gone—replaced by a vast nebula of flesh and sinew, dark crimson and pulsating, like the entrails of some cosmic beast.Viscous clouds churned and bled with motion; within them, billions of glimmering motes flickered like fireflies in blood—each a living Zerg organism.The sheer scale of the nebula dwarfed entire star systems.Lilith’s stomach lurched. A wave of nausea rose from the primal depths of her biology—an instinctive revulsion born of life itself recoiling from its antithesis.“Expedition, enter stealth mode. Begin data acquisition.”Veridian’s voice was calm as still water, cutting through the dead silence of the bridge.Optical camouflage engaged instantly; the warship’s presence was erased from the physical spectrum.

The pain that pierced Veridian’s soul came swiftly—and vanished just as quickly—but it left behind a trace he could not ignore.His expression darkened slightly as his consciousness sank into the core of his being.There lay the perfect loop of law-runes, a luminous circle woven from pure order. It was the foundation of his power, the symbol of his existence, the embodiment of the “Absolute Order” he had built himself upon. Yet now, on that immaculate ring, a flaw had appeared.At the node that governed the concept of “Void,” a microscopic breach had opened—a gap smaller than a grain of dust, but vast in meaning.From it emanated a faint wisp of Chaos, clinging there like a line of corrupted code deep within the logic of his soul—an anomaly that defied identification, coexisting alongside his own law of the Void.Veridian immediately summoned the silvery Primordial power he had just used to clea
