n“Thank you. It’s been nice making a deal with you,” I smiled before quickly taking Wu out of the palace. I wanted to evolve as soon as possible, even if it meant not giving the Quincy a proper goodbye.

n“Sir, our current army is at a clean five thousand. We thought we should report to you as this achievement will take us far. Also, we’ve all been meaning to ask… but how many soldiers exactly should we build up?” Magnus informed me.

nThe first vampire general of this new army I had been forming was the only general I really communicated with. The others were on special missions besides summoning their own soldiers, which would inevitably be mine.

nFor example, Alba, the second general, is currently on a mission to find my other friends. If I wanted to take over this place, it would be nice to have an extra backup. But at the same time, I wanted to know the status of their evolution. If I could help them evolve, then that would be amazing for not only them but also me.

nIn addition, she is leveling up and becoming her own independent person. She’s forming an army outside the walls rather than the cramped capital that every other one of my subordinates resided in.

nNext, there was the third general, Linus. He was the only general who had actually made a personal request to train every single one of the troops. We may be able to summon vampires who are extremely strong, but if they don’t know how to fight while taking orders, then everything could possibly go to **.

nOh yeah, the fifth general, Lucious, was helping with that as well. But on the other hand, Fastina was busy pumping out as many vampires as possible. It has only been a few days, and she’s summoned well over half the amount of vampires currently in this city.

nIt was so much, in fact, that her skill upgraded, allowing her to summon vampires permanently rather than for a slim amount of time. This was a fact that I almost forgot about, and if it wasn’t for Magnus informing me, I probably would have had a minuscule army by the time a big war arrived.

nCurrently, all of the generals were working on upgrading this skill, but of course, it would take some time. Upgrading skills weren’t easy, but with enough time and dedication, I’m sure they could get there eventually.

n“Sir, is there something wrong?”

n“Oh, I apologize… my mind drifted off for a moment,” I replied, running a comb through my long hair, debating whether I should cut it. As of now, it drifted down to my waist, so it would surely get in the way while I was in battle, and tying it up each time just seemed like a pain. What if I got caught off guard and my hair swaying in my face is what causes me to lose or possibly die? “Build up as many as you can… and I have a question for you.”

n“Ask me anything, sir.”

n“Would you like me to upgrade you? You’re the first general, but you’re as powerful as every other general. If you want the others to listen to you, you should at least be stronger than the fifth one, correct?”

n“I apologize, sir, but I see no use in me being stronger than them. They all trust me, and I trust all of them. But, if that is your wish, then I cannot deny it.”

n“Okay, well, how about for selfish reasons? In here, you cannot expand your power like Alba. She’s growing stronger and stronger by the minute, being outside the walls of this capital. She’s slaughtering monsters, gaining experience, and inevitably growing stronger than you… do you want to lose to her?”

nHe thought it over, mulling over the idea right in front of me. He stared at the ground, his expression not even twitching as a growing sensation of pride began to build up within him. As a vampire, there was a locked-up ego deep within him. A desire to be stronger than anybody else, and as he spoke his next words, I couldn’t help but grin.

n“Upgrade me, sir.”

n“It will be painful. Are you sure you’re ready?” I asked, walking over to the man who gulped. I placed my hand on his chest, and with the few new skills that I had, I activated them but didn’t use them as I waited for the man’s response.

n“Yes, sir…. ARGHHHHHHHHH!”

nAn earth-shattering cry released from the depths of his diaphragm. It echoed through my room as his chest split open while I used Royal Flesh Manipulation. He literally looked like his body cavity was opening, revealing a single core.

nIt was probably yesterday that I figured this out. Monstrous Demonic Vampiric Eggs was strange as it didn’t give me an egg, but instead a smooth and almost shiny ball of red. It smelled like blood, but that was its only resemblance. Even its taste was something close to wood rather than metal.

nAfter mulling it over, I looped everything back to the creation of vampires. This new class is what gave me these skills, and as a general is normally somebody who commands others, I assumed pretty much every single one of these new skills that I got was related to influencing others.

nThe only skill that wasn’t related to control was probably Shroud of Essence Draining Mist, but when compared to the other four, you could still make the argument that these skills were meant to control. Everything about this was meant to control others.

n“Monstrous Demonic Vampiric Eggs…” I muttered, causing a dark orb of blood to gather in the palm of my hand. Simultaneously, I yanked out the bright blood-red orb within Magnus’ chest and then pushed the new orb in, hoping for the best. If it failed, I could just create a new general… a bit of a pain, but it’ll have to do.

nThankfully though, his body didn’t reject it as every square inch of his skin began to pulsate a black light. He dropped to his knees as the orb spread black veins throughout his body, visible to the naked eye as it shifted through the very outer layer of his flesh. It was like hundreds of black worms were squirming through his body, attempting to eat and gnaw away at anything they could find, turning him into a new being of absolute power.

n“Huff… huff… huff… huff… that **ing hurt…”

nAnd soon, the process had finished. His pale white skin had turned a pitch-black while his eyes were now a deep dark red. His long white hair had turned a similar shade of red while flowing down to his knees. Two stubby black horns only as long and large as his fist protruded from his forehead, and the two bat-like wings that he had doubled in size, piercing through his buttoned-down white shirt.

nA creation of yours has forcefully evolved

nVampire (Magnus) → Vampiric Demon (Magnus)

n“How convenient…” I smiled as the man took a look at his new status, his eyes widened at what I could assume was a plethora of new skills. He most likely witnessed a jump in stats as well, now that he was a demon.

n“Sir, I believe you should do this with the other generals. I was selfish at first, but… I have gained a new skill called Summon: Vampire Soldiers. There would be no need to train the new ones who are bound to fade away anyway, and I can only assume they are permanent as this is what the fourth general has.”

n“I see… then call the other generals to come to me. The second general is fine… I don’t want to ruin whatever she is doing. But the others, tell them to arrive before me by tomorrow. If they don’t, tell them, they’ve missed out on a rare opportunity… I’m not coming to find them.”

n“As you wish, sir,” The man grinned, his two vampiric fangs still protruding from his top array of teeth.
