Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

A blood moon will appear wherever the Embrace ceremony is performed.

Inside Rose Manor, the Embrace Ceremony, held by Viscount Rose for the son of the mayor of Moonlight Town, officially begins!

[Prologue: Calling the Night]

"Let the eternal night be our witness, let the blood moon be our warning."

"At this moment, mortal life comes to a halt, and the journey to eternal life begins."

"Since you have abandoned the falsehood of the sun, embrace the reality of the night."

"Are you willing?"

The Viscount Rose, dressed in a blood-red gown and holding a silver cup, approached the mayor's son and recited the ceremonial inscription.

The mayor's son gazed at the Viscount Rose with adoration and said, "I do!"

Viscount Rose extended a finger and pricked his palm before clenching his fist.

Fresh blood dripped from his fist, falling into a silver cup containing the blood of a pure virgin, seven drops in total.

The Viscount Rose handed the silver cup to the mayor's son, who then drank the blood in one gulp.

[First Offering - A Broken Heart]

"The human heart beats between fear and desire. Now, I pierce it with a silver blade, not to kill, but to annihilate."

"When the mind is still, obsessions dissipate; when the blood is cold, delusions vanish."

"If you fear pain, you may retreat now—but if you insist on going forward, then swear by pain and take stillness as your name."

Viscount Rose handed the ceremonial dagger to the mayor's son, staring intently into his eyes.

The mayor's son gripped the dagger with both hands behind his back and slowly plunged it into his own heart!

The intense pain contorted his face, yet a smile remained on his lips.

This act symbolizes abandoning the heart of an ordinary person.

The seven drops of primordial blood that Viscount Rose gave him to drink earlier will help him stay alive temporarily.

Of course, the probability of death at this stage is still quite high.

However, the mayor's son was lucky and survived the first hurdle.

[Second Sacrifice - Blood Removal]

"I will drink your blood until your soul hangs by a thread."

"Your past is gone with your blood; your name is gone into eternal night."

"This is not plunder, but purification—only an empty cup can hold new wine."

Viscount Rose held the mayor's son in his arms, two sharp fangs peeking out from between his sexy red lips.

He leans over and opens his mouth.

The sharp teeth pierced the mayor's son's carotid artery.

The mayor's son's face began to turn deathly pale at a visible speed, then bluish, and shriveled up...

This step is arguably the most dangerous of the three Embrace rituals.

Because the practitioner needs to drink all the blood from the victim's body until the victim is on the verge of death!

【Three Sacrifices - Blood Offering】

"Now I pour my very essence into your parched veins."

"This blood is not a gift, but a shackle; not redemption, but a covenant."

"Your life is now bound to my blood; your sins will also be borne by my blood."

"If you break your oath, may your blood burn your bones; if you remain faithful, may the night grant you a crown."

The Fidelius's fangs were still lodged in the mayor's son's carotid artery.

Unlike before, it is now Viscount Rose who is injecting the primordial blood within his own body into the mayor's son's empty blood vessels.

This process usually takes more than ten minutes, during which the practitioner can access the fragments of the subject's memories.

After the blood donation is completed, the Embrace ritual is basically finished.

Those who are reborn through blood donation become new descendants of the vampires, receive a name from the practitioner, and establish a blood pact with the practitioner.

That is, to become the first embrace of the spellcaster.

Unfortunately, the mayor's son was destined to have no chance of becoming a new descendant of vampires.

Because Chu Yang, who had sneaked into the Rose Manor from the back garden, had already arrived at the Embrace Ceremony site thanks to the invisibility effect of "coming and going without a trace".

He watched almost the entire Embrace ceremony with great interest.

Then, when the ceremony reaches the final step, the "Three Sacrifices and Blood Offering,"...

Chu Yang summoned Qian Yue!

The sword technique, "First Move," is unleashed!

50% chance to trigger double casting!

Two cyan blades of light poured out one after another, engulfing the entire ritual altar!

The Viscount Rose, who was presiding over the embrace ceremony, and the mayor's son, whom she was holding, died on the spot!

The mist began to dissipate throughout Moonlight Town.

The blood moon in the sky gradually faded its red light.

The initial embrace ceremony was disrupted, and Chu Yang also heard the notification sound indicating that the mission was completed.

However, the battle was not over.

First, the six handsome men of the Rose Viscount embraced and surrounded Qian Yue.

The six attacked together, forcing Qian Yue to quickly dodge.

A second later, the "First Form" was unleashed, colliding with the attacks of the six people.

Qian Yue was injured for the first time, and her health dropped by more than 2,000 points.

However, the more than two thousand health points that had been lost were instantly restored!

Because Qian Yue currently possesses the relic [Bloodlust Pendant] and the companion artifact [Blood River], both of which are blood-sucking items, granting her 40% physical blood-sucking ability!

Of the six newborns, three died on the spot, and three were seriously injured and fell into a daze.

Qian Yue, however, is still at full health!

The fate of the three new descendants, caught in a daze, is already sealed.

When Qian Yue unleashed the second cyan blade of light, they died on the spot.

Just then, on the ceremonial platform, the Viscount Rose, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly stood up straight.

A red soul emerged from behind the corpse and gradually merged into its body!

Viscount Rose opened his eyes!

The Viscount Rose, who should have died, has been resurrected!

"You!...You're asking for it!"

The resurrected Viscount Rose vanished, transforming into a swarm of bats that pounced on Thousand Moons.

But Qian Yue seemed to have anticipated this, dodging to the side and then turning around to unleash another strike.

The swarm of bats was almost wiped out by the sky full of blue sword light, but one bat that escaped flew into the sky and transformed back into the appearance of the Viscount Rose.

However, at this moment, Viscount Rose now had a pair of huge, scarlet fleshy wings behind him.

Perhaps out of fear of Qian Yue's terrifying swordsmanship, Viscount Rose hovered in the air, no longer daring to approach Qian Yue.

He only dared to use ranged spells in the air to fight against Qian Yue.

However, whether it was the blood bats she summoned or the rose petals that fell like sharp blades, they all vanished into thin air under Qian Yue's "One Style" blade.

While the Viscount Rose was in the air, pondering how to deal with the despicable human girl below.

The spirit form of a blue elven archer appeared behind Qian Yue!

[Declaration of Guaranteed Hit] Soul Skill activated!

Qian Yue suddenly swung her sword at Viscount Rose, who was more than 20 meters away from her. At the same time, the elven archer also shot out a blue arrow.

After flying six meters, the cyan blade light merged with the cyan arrow and continued to fly forward.

Startled, Viscount Rose retreated rapidly, trying to dodge the cyan blade light unleashed by Qian Yue.

However, no matter how far she flew or where she went, the cyan blade light relentlessly pursued her.

Because this strike is guaranteed to hit.

"Pfft~!"

Viscount Rose, who was already hundreds of meters away from Qianyue in mid-air, was struck by the "First Style" and coughed up a mouthful of blood, falling into a daze.

The Rosary Viscount was falling rapidly from the sky.

Just as his dizziness subsided and he was about to take off again...

Qian Yue's newly unleashed cyan blade light caught up with her once more!

When the second cyan blade of light struck Viscount Rose, Chu Yang heard the system notification that Viscount Rose had been killed.

Chu Yang walked expressionlessly to the body of Viscount Rose and opened the blue treasure chest that had fallen from his body.

The death and resurrection of the Viscount Rose, and his subsequent death.

All of this was within Chu Yang's calculations.

When Viscount Rose held her Embrace ceremony, Chu Yang had already mastered most of her abilities.

This includes the ability for the opponent to revive after death.

Viscount Rose was able to be resurrected because of an external spirit she possessed called "Second Life".

Simply put, when you die, the "second life" allows you to revive once on the spot.

Such a powerful soul skill naturally has side effects.

It will deduct 100 lifespan points!

However, even if you lose your lifespan, it's still much better than dying on the spot.

Moreover, vampires are inherently a long-lived species.

A lifespan of a thousand years is considered normal for vampires.
