Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn as a Vampire Dragon with a System

Chaos saw through the memories of this little young dragon; from the moment it was born that it went through a lot of hardships. It was almost eaten alive by a giant bear-like monster in the first day of being born.

The little dragon trembled in fear until the bear stopped insisting and walked away, and the little dragon fell asleep quickly after, exhausted of the horror that such an encounter caused to his young and innocent soul.

But the dragon didn't had it easy either after that, the next day it was so hungry and thirsty that it was forced to walk outside, only to be encountered by a large, green-colored viper that immediately attempted to strangle him and swallow him whole…

"Gryyauuu!"

The little dragon constantly ran away for his life, until it was finally rescued… by a giant bird that grabbed him and lifted him up, bringing it to a nest all the way up in a tree, where three voracious chicks waited for him…

"Grraauuh!"

The dragon struggled but finally managed to get off the bird's grasp, although its little body was covered in scars, and he fell like over twenty meters from the sky into the ground.

BOOM!

But his scales were strong enough to absorb a lot of the shock force, and somehow, it survived the fall, but it felt dizzy and confused.

A bad thing of course, as a giant monkey suddenly grasped him and began to asphyxiate him to later eat it.

"Grryyaaauuuhh…!"

FLASH!

Out of reflex, the little dragon unleashed a strong breath attack, burning the monkey's face.

The monkey cried in pain as it ended letting the dragon go.

The little dragon quickly tried to run away, but the monkey was persistent, grasping a large spear made of wood, it pierced the dragon's tail mercilessly.

CLASH!

"Graaooooooohhh…!"

The dragon began to cry tears of pain as it looked like his little tail being pierced by a large wooden spear, this wood wasn't normal wood at all if it could pierce the scales of a dragon…

As the monkey slowly began to reach the little dragon, the little dragon did the unthinkable, forcefully tearing apart his own tail and running away while undergoing excruciating pain...

The little dragon looked back, as he saw the giant monkey grab the tail piece and eat it as if it were an easy snack…

"Graauuh…"

Chaos saw as the little dragon underwent countless trials, each time, barely surviving.

It was an awful infancy, filled with dangers everywhere, and with nobody to ever accompany it other than countless other predators.

"…"

The memory fragment dissipated as Chaos was once more brought to the darkness.

Why did he saw such things? What was the purpose behind them?

Perhaps… there was no purpose.

But even then, it made Chaos think…

He had a very good life compared to these people, the two… that made up his body.

Unlike the vampire boy, he had a supportive group of allies that didn't forced him to do things, nor to neglect his own life.

And unlike the dragon infant, he was grown strong, and he didn't went through the horrible things he did to just survive another day.

This was Chaos deeply think about his situation, and how he ended dying.

He was very tired…

But through seeing these memories and comparing himself to these people, he realized how lucky he was to have been born with such conditions.

Even if the entire Universe wanted to kill him… even if his father and his mother were captured by the Light Heralds and held captive.

Even then… he seemed quite lucky to have been born with all of these conditions.

Despite all the things he had, Chaos always thought and wished deep down to have been reborn as a normal person.

Since his previous life that he yearned to become a normal person.

Enclosed in a cold laboratory, pierced completely by needles, and having all his energy and power drained away…

Compared to that previous life, he was finally given freedom, but that very freedom also brought his end in other ways, such as the battle against Valen.

What should Chaos do now?

Should he lay low and escape for now?

Or should be fight once more, even against such a powerful being as Valen?

What were the odds that he could survive such an encounter once more?

Although he had yet to grow attached to this world or its people, and could easily leave them, his friends and even his lover, Abyss, had grown attached to the world and its people already.

From all people, they were the ones that ended acting the most like he often does, while he was acting the opposite now…

…

He had to do it, somehow… he must grow stronger and find a way to help these people and this world.

And deep down, Chaos still had a strong pride within him, an angered and resentful pride that couldn't help but want to destroy Valen out of existence.

But could he do it?

He wasn't even as strong as he was before when he was defeated anyways, so how could he even grow strong enough to defeat him now?

At the end of the day, maybe… it seemed quite hopeless.

Desire…

Chaos had a strong desire to change his fate and the fate of the people around him, he wanted to change how things were, and make them all for the better.

But could he truly do it? Could he truly change anything?

As he submerged in the darkness while being engulfed on his won soul and body exhaustion, a sudden voice suddenly whispered to his mind.

"You…"

Chaos noticed it rather quickly, and tried to listen to it with more attention…

"You…"

"Me?"

"Yes… You…"

The voice continued to speak to him slowly, as if it were very weakened or old.

It had the resemblance of an old lady.

Who could this mysterious voice be? And what could it want with Chaos?

"You… Please…"
