Primordial Vampire God System

'Teacher...'

Azriel finally remembered.

He finally realized the truth.

What he was seeing right now was not the fake reality,

Rather, what he was 'living' for the last tens of thousands of years was a Fake Reality.

His life as Azriel Origin was not his life.

He was not Azriel Origin.

He was Azriel Ruinous.

He was not a Vampire Progenitor, he was just a Slave Vampire who somehow got the inheritance of the Vampire Progenitor.

The life he was living right now wasn't his life. This was all just an illusion.

However, things weren't that simple.

Azriel knew how to break this illusion and return,

But.

Was he willing to do it?

Azriel was tired of living.

That was the reason why he placed himself in that coffin.

Now the question was,

Does Azriel Ruinous, who has lived more than 40,000 years as Azriel Origin, willing to return and live again?

Honestly, Azriel didn't want to.

His 'Mission' of bringing back the Vampires wasn't really that difficult.

Actually, a few thousand more years and the Vampires would probably return.

That is just how this world works.

Azriel realizes this truth.

And that is the reason he feels this.

'Is it even worth it?

Why bother?

Everything is just too boring...'

Azriel's 'body' continued to live.

He trained under Luminia, then, he met Ithania, and the two of them got close to each other. Then, they went on a Mission and recruited more slave vampires.

Seeing everything, a small smile appeared on Azriel's face.

The blurry memories of his life as Azriel Ruinous turned clearer and clearer.

Time passed and soon, another Mission popped up.

[Mission: Complete the Trial of the Forsaken Mountains.]

[Mission Description: Complete the Trial of the Forsaken Mountains.]

[Reward: ???]

[Warning: You can't level up until you complete this Mission]

[Time Limit: No Limit.]

Azriel's face turned solemn as he read this mission, then, he discussed this with Luminia, and soon, the two of them came to a conclusion.

"If there is anyone who can complete this Trial, it is you."

It was decided.

Azriel would take this Trial.

"I heard you are going to take the Trial of the Forsaken Mountains," Ithania questioned with a solemn look on her face.

"I am." Azriel nodded.

"Do you really have to do it?"

"Heeh? Are you worried about me?" Azriel chuckled.

"Why would I be worried about you?

A monster like you can't fail in any stupid Trial." Ithania smiled.

"Also, keep this in your mind,

Our Team of Brute and Brain won't exist if you, the Brute, don't return.

So make sure you come back, alright?"

A smile appeared on Azriel's face,

"Don't worry, I'll be back before you know it."

Ithania smiled.

"I'll be waiting."

Time passed by and soon, it was time for Azriel to go to the Forsaken Mountains.

Luminia was the one who took Azriel with her.

The two of them ventured deep inside the Forsaken Mountains and then, Luminia muttered,

"I won't be following you from now on. Remember, be cautious, don't get overconfident, trust yourself, fight with everything you have and,

Come back alive."

Azriel smiled,

"Yes, I will, I promise you."

Hearing those words, 'Azriel', who was watching everything in silence opened his eyes and a solemn look appeared on his face.

Then, a small shiver went through his back,

'Shit... I would have died if those two learned about what I was thinking...'

Then, he shook his head and a smile appeared on his face,

'Alright, this is enough rest.'

Azriel had decided.

Vampires would be back even if he doesn't do anything?

So what?

Why does that matter?

Also, how long would it take for the Vampires to return if he leaves everything on time?

Too long!

Azriel Origin might be a patient man,

Azriel Ruinous wasn't.

'I need to return.'

The smile on Azriel's face widened.

'After all, I promised that I will.'

Suddenly, Azriel's surroundings turned brighter and brighter, and then,

*BOOM*

Everything exploded.

...

'Hmm?'

Azriel looked around with a frown on his face.

This place...

It seemed familiar...

However, Azriel had no idea where it was.

Azriel knew that he has been to this place before, however, when or where was missing.

'What is this pla-'

Azriel wondered in his head however as soon as he tried to stand up from this strange stone bed he was lying on, he paused.

Something was wrong.

Azriel...

He could feel that he was incomparably weaker than before.

His body was too heavy, it was as if he was bound by countless chains made of the strongest material present in Yrniel.

With that meager speed, Azriel rushed towards the mirror, and soon,

"!!!"

His eyes widened in surprise.

"M-My face..."

Azriel's hands then moved to his face and soon, he realized.

He was back.

He was back to his original body.

At the same time, he also realized why he was unable to break through this strange illusion.

When it first started, he was unable to control his only body and was only able to look around, however, as more and more decades passed, he slowly started getting invested in whatever was happening around him and once his mind was completely inherited into that illusion, he started controlling Azriel Origin's body as well, making it look and feel even more real.

It was a long game.

Someone like Azriel was never meant to beat this Trial until the Trial ended itself.

"You are awake?"

As Azriel was thinking about all this, he heard a voice.

"Hm?"

Azriel turned around and there, she saw a woman who had 3 pairs of Wings on her back.

"Crown..."

Azriel recalled.

"It seems that you remember me."

Crown smiled.

Azriel just smiled as an answer.

"Congratulations, you have cleared the Third Step and have become the first person to have ever completed the Trial of the World's Core.

Are you ready to get your reward?"

"Huh? There was a Reward?" Azriel frowned.

"Well, it was a Trial, so the one who cleared it has to be rewarded, correct?" Crown smiled.

Azriel thought about it and nodded.

"That makes sense.

So? What are my rewards?"

Crown then walked towards him with a smile on her face and once she was close enough,

She kneeled.
