Synopsis

Blood Demon Vampires are naturally born to be cold-blooded, ruthless, self-centered, and blood-sucking demons every time the sun goes down. Let's bring their kinds to a brand-new story, shall we? What if the vampires were befallen into a cursed system where killing is no longer a formidable solution for their thirst for blood? Instead of merciless killings, they are required to accomplish humanitarian missions in order to survive. One human saved is an hour additional of their lifeline in the human world. The more humans they saved, the longer life they get. Then were measured when this one-of-a-kind woman appeared in their lives. The only woman who awakens their dormant vampire's thirst for blood.

Chapter 1

The Taste of Blood

Gaius POV

In a world where everything is being dominated by obscure darkness, endless nightmares, and false fantasies, lies a lonesome hundred-fifty-year-old blood-sucking demon who stands firm on the top edge of the tallest building in the city.

The hectic city of New Orleans sounded and looked the same as the previous nights. Humans wondering the streets with a smile on their faces. And small and large sizes of vehicles run in and out of my sight.

"Target is on the move! Randolph Griffin, fifty-six years old and was holding a Ruger Max-9 Pro 9mm gun wearing a black hoodie. He is now heading to East Avenue, five blocks away from the building. I repeat..."

My profound pleasure in indulging the sensation of this night's summer breeze that gently rubbed my cold pale skin shattered into pieces when someone's deafening voice vibrated in my ears.

I was startled to the point that my body gets out of balance and falls through the air. Shit. I should have followed my instinct not to put earpods in my ears since I am a vampire with a heightened sense of hearing.

However, my teammates forced us to use one so they could come after me in my every move. Using earpods is the most effective and efficient way they know how to have proper communication between distances.

"Gaius, can you hear me?" he added.

"I heard you loud and clear, you moron." because of too much annoyance, I remove the earpods and pulverize them before my feet could land on the ground and follow our target.

My name is Gaius Spencer. I remained single in the world for one hundred and fifty years and was the youngest Blood Demon Guardian among my teammates of vampires.

Our job being a Guardian is to be the ears and eyes of the city we were assigned to protect. We work most likely similar to the cops who keep roaming around on the streets day and night. The only difference is that we dont use guns and always stayed behind the darkness.

Demon blood has run through our veins but our generation of vampires brings us into the world under a Cursed System where killing is no longer a formidable solution to our thirst for blood.

We drink blood, yes, it is still a must for us, vampires. But we have to find the best method that certainly does not involve draining our prey's blood until they get killed.

Most of us who often drink human blood could barely access our superhuman abilities. Other abilities even go dormant because we could not dare slaughter lives anymore. Some vampires choose to drain their lifeline and die.

Good thing I am wise enough not to follow that kind of mindset and choose to live longer even if eighty percent of my abilities are already sleeping profoundly.

Furthermore, we have these tiny rectangular red and black stripes marked on our wrists that embodied our lifeline. Red color means the number of hours, days, months, and years that we are allowed to live in the world.

Black, on the other hand, corresponds to our lifeline that must be filled with red or the time we wasted by disobeying the Cursed System's written rules.

Once all the stripes turn black, even praying to gods or the council of sorcerers could not help you anymore. You'll die before you know it.

It was purported that ten thousand years ago, a council of powerful sorcerers cursed the vampires and to the next generations of our generations that we are not allowed to kill anyone with a soul to suck up their blood.

Instead, they cursed us to lead and bring peace against our enemies; humans, co-vampires, werewolves, and even witches. We dont know either if the Cursed System goes the same for the humans, wolves, and witches.

Nevertheless, all I know is that we are required to do humanitarian missions to increase our lifelines if we still want to live. Saving one human increases an hour of our lifeline. But killing a life cost us a day. Too unfair, right?

We also report to the Council of Elders about the updates on our successful and failed missions and most importantly, our lifelines by the end of the month or unless necessary.

Once we saved a few within the month, the council will be pleased. For those who were unlucky, the Elders stepped into the way to extend their help and provide us with the missions.

And as of the moment, I am chasing a fifty-six-year-old man who mercilessly put a bullet in a man's head two hours ago. His reason was that he found out that his wife has been having an affair with the man he slaughtered in cold blood.

"Stay where you are!" exclaims Randolph while pointing the tip of his gun straight at my head. Based on my opinion, he believes that it would be easier for him to pull the trigger when he already did it once.

"If I were you, I'm not gonna do that, old man." I extended a smile on my face, thinking he might ease off, drop the gun, and surrender to my hands.

Sad to say, he took the courage beneath his anger and released a bullet straight to my head, but it was my right shoulder that got hit.

Even if I'm a vampire, the bullet could not stop me from being in pain. I moaned shortly after the bullet was pulled out from my shoulder.

Randolph was startled and pulled the trigger. This time, he did not stop until all the bullets in the magazine were pulled out. I got hit but my body remained standing.

"Monster!" his boisterous screaming almost break my eardrums again. Then, he runs as fast as possible away from me.

As soon as I remove the four bullets from my body, I divided myself into tiny bats that no ordinary vampires can do. This special ability was a gift from my deceased mom who was once a leader of the council.

It is also one of the reasons my teammates assigned me to do, most if not all of the fieldwork. With the help of the daylight ring I also inherited from my father, I can manage to walk under the sun after he died protecting me for the same reason - the rays of the sun.

Since then, I became an orphan at the age of ten. It was also the starting point of my life to experience nothing but an endless nightmare. My stomach always yearned for blood. And I could depend on no one anymore aside from myself.

At the age of ten, my hands got stained with fresh drops of blood from my first unforgettable kill. It was a woman who wanders the street with her four-year-old daughter.

The slaughtering never stopped when every time I could smell and even imagine blood, my stomach gets famished. And every time I get hungry, I keep searching for prey.

Killing someone has been as easy as counting from one to three for me and was only stopped when the Cursed System fell into our lives and met my teammates who treated me like a real family.

After surrendering the unscratched Randolph to the cops, I proceeded to the club where my teammates are celebrating a small party after a successful mission. And of course, for us to equally divide the one-hour increase of my lifeline.

Our team is comprised of four members. We have one brain, two ears and eyes, and one hand which is me as the doer of the plan. So, mathematically speaking, out of the one hour we earned from the mission, I only get fifteen minutes of a lifeline.

While holding onto the thought, I accidentally bumped into someone as soon as I stepped foot in the club.

"Apology, miss, I didn't mean to bump...," I could not help my mouth from getting zipped off when two unrestrained gorgeous light-green eyes from a pure human were locked up with mine.

Even for a short period, I considered her eyes the most exquisite masterpiece I have seen in my one hundred and fifty years of wandering the surface of the world. They were completely pure and innocent.

The feeling was similar to experiencing swimming in an endless wide blue ocean in the middle of summer or lying on the ground surrounded by a grassland of scented lavender.

It was too warm and refreshing. I have met a few women, young and old, but her eyes outshined the rest. Too precious to make her cry.

"No. It's all right. I'm fine, really," she did not drop off her stare, knowing that mine embodied deadly ones. Instead, she cracked a half-smile before she added, "I'm so sorry, too. It's just my eyes were busy looking at the screen of my phone."

Even her voice sounds music to my ears. The feeling was like I can hear birds singing in unison or like a group of angels that sing harmonious heavenly songs.

She was about to slide to the exit but I manage to stop her and asked if it was her phone that was dropped on the floor. But I already knows it was hers when it comes from her hands when we bumped into each other.

She and I pick up the phone in unison without us knowing it. However, before our hands could reach the floor, our heads bumped into each other this time. I never expect that she could have a harder skull which resulted in me stumbling before her.

On the other hand, she was about to stumble, but I managed to grab her hand and pulled her back to my chest. Sad to say, I barely expect that I could use a bit of my superhuman strength when her body bumped into me again which resulted in us plummeting to the floor.

And the worst part of the situation is that our lips were the ones that got bumped into each other. The situation was a bit awkward, but I got panicked all of a sudden.

Who could have thought the bump caused a cut on her lips?

The second I tasted the fresh drop of blood that comes out of her mouth, I quickly pushed her away and I rushed to the toilet.

My head then started spinning, in a way that all my sleeping senses have been heightened for the very first time in a very long time.

While having a hard time breathing, the color of my vision also changed. And the blood inside me was burning in flames as though my body wants to turn into a pure vampire voluntarily.

"What took you so long, Gaius?" asks Monbert, the brain of our team. But I ignore him simply because my brain freezes at the moment.

Disrupted Excitement
And all I could think of is to get into the toilet room as soon as possible when I could feel the violet long curve lines that were scattered throughout my face because of the blood. I turned the faucet on and drink water as much as my stomach could carry to remove the fishy taste of the blood from my system. After a few minutes of drinking water, I heaved a sigh of relief when the color of my face returned to its normal pale after a few seconds of getting wet. "What happened earlier must not happen again," I uttered to myself. "Part of me wanted to kill her." then, I headed out of the toilet room and went back to the exit to sincerely apologize to her or at least offer her a treat. Unfortunately, she was already nowhere to be found aside from the phone that I just stepped on. Good thing it did not crack or get broken. Her face was displayed on the screen when the light switched on. "Is everything all right, Gaius?" Monbert asked me again. Before I coul

The Confession
"Is that what I think it is?" she asked. Her smile broadens from ear to ear. "I've been searching for my phone since last night, Dad. Finding the phone was the reason I could not go home." Then, she slides closer to me and snatched the phone from my hands. It happens again. The warm wavelength coming from her slow movements awakened the deepest part of my belonging. And every strand of my muscles shivered. Instead of blood, I gulp a bulk of water down to my throat while staring at those veins on her neck. My throat got dried and was surging the thirst all of a sudden. And the thirst was completely hard to withstand. Part of me wanted to stab my fangs into her neck and shower her aromatic blood throughout my body. I want to imagine that to happen. However, her dad's sharp stares contradicted my profound imagination. That if I am not going to drop my stares away from his daughter, he is going to slash my throat and cut off my head. "Thank you so much for this," she added before

Gaius True Form
While holding onto that thought, I could not help myself but burst out my laughter. I mean, who could not be? Dad is telling me something unimaginable. Something that can only be seen on TV or any kind of streaming app. Do you know what makes him even look more ridiculous? Dad, I believe, is not the kind of man who loves watching movies and series of those kinds of stories. He is more particularly a business-minded type of person who loves and praises money, and of course, there is my mom and me. Other than that, nada. "Don't give me that kind of look, Cece." dad insisted. "that is why you have to stay away from him. Because if I saw that man even ten meters away from you, regardless of what approach first, I'm gonna rip his bones and pull his heart. And you know who I am when I got furious. Do you understand?" Dad indeed was the worst among other fathers that I know of. He may be protective of me and mom but it was too much to the point that he once killed a mid

Unwelcomed Guest
"You heard him right, my dear, Cecelia." claims the other wolf. "He is the owner of the club you used to spend a few nights with your friends." "And also the reasons why we managed to know where your alpha dad lives," says Marcos. If he claims to be the owner of the club behind me, his name is Marcos. Whatever they want from me perhaps has something to do with my dad after knowing they are of the same kind; monsters. Alpha? Is that what they called my dad? But knowing about their connections with each other is the last of my worries at the moment. I still have my bleeding leg to attend to. I believe that if the wounds will not be cured as soon as possible, I might collapse or worse death await me. "Please, don't kill me," I beg them, then adjusted my body when my leg starts to get numbed. "If you need money, I'm so sorry, I didn't bring cash with me. How much do you want?" I try to reach for my sling bag but my hands could barely reach it because what my body

A Mother's Love
Gaius POV "So, what now?" Monbert asked me after patching Cecelia's deep wounds before he slides into my spot in the corner. He securely cleaned and removed every trace of her blood from the coffin to make sure my nose could sniff nothing. Yet here I am helplessly staring at my wrist when it glimmered. My lifeline has been deducted by two days after killing Marcos and his cousin. And the fact that it took me a few days to save 48 hours of my lifeline, I started to regret I let my thirst for blood precede the sole purpose of the Cursed System. "The damage has been done, Monbert." could not help but eject the cold air of regrets out of my nose and mouth. "I have to find the solution to my case as soon as possible. Alone and before everything I worked for go to waste." "Do you need to borrow lifeline from us?" Monbert humbly offered. He even extended his wrist to me without any signs of hesitation. "I can lend you at least two hours." "No, I can't lend

A Million Dollar Bribe
"What?" could not help my forehead from frowning at what she said. She is flipping over the story as far as I understand the current situation. My feet landed in their mansion unannounced simply because I want to return her daughter and collect the two days of my lifeline that was deducted from my barcode for killing Marcos and his cousin for her sake. Is her mother for real? Even if Cecelia is her daughter, she must show some respect for bringing her to the mansion alive even if unannounced. A simple "Thank you" would do for me, not with some kind of threat to get sued. "My husband is in critical condition after the ambush," she confessed. "but our expert doctors and nurses managed to remove the bullets from his body. And he is in the middle of recovery." "What?" my mouth remained open. I heard an explosion last night. But I did not see Cecelia's dad in the car when I decided to cancel our mission and hop out of the building when I saw Cecelia being chased by tw

The Vampire Prince
"I'll take it." before Celcelia's mom could say a word, I snatched the briefcase from her hands, close it, then smiled at them. "I hope this gonna be the last time our paths cross. Thank you so much, for this, Madam Mayor." Afterward, I hail a cab heading back to the bunker. I cannot transform myself into a bat when the sun was already up. Bats are more sensitive to the sun than the moon. But I haven't tried shifting into a bat beyond six in the morning though. I wanted to at least try for once but I am worried my bats might get burned from the rays of the sun. Even if I have a daylight ring that protects my vampire from the heat of the sun, it is still not an assurance since my body will be divided into pieces when I shift into tiny bats. On my way to the bunker, my brain could not help but wonder about Cecelia. Although I already agreed not to see her again, I could not help my brain from reminiscing about the short period we shared. Let alone the mystery

The Bank Robbery
While the rest of the guardians are busy reporting to the council about their month, our team is also busy discussing what the news Damon brought for us. "Do you think it has something to do with our last mission?" asks Rust in a worried tone. "You're considering it too?" Lucifer seconded Rust's idea before he pointed his blaming glimpse at me. Guilty or not, I am the one indeed to blame if what they claim is the same news Damon referring to. But failing one mission is not enough for the council to punish us with something big. After all, team New Orleans has managed to accomplish ninety-nine out of the hundred missions successfully. "Come on, guys, relax your balls, okay?" Monbert tapped the tip of my shoulder to help me ease my hatred and anger toward Lucifer. "No one knows we failed our last mission unless one of us..." "Not me," Rust defensively whispered when our eyes were locked on him. "And why would I ruin my reputation as the King's nephew

Then, he opens the briefcase to take a look at what he can find inside. His glimmering eyes and jaws being open wide only prove that he just hit the jackpot. Who could not be? I patiently counted all the money that I saved for almost eighty years including the ten million dollars Madam Mayor gave me. Overall, the money in the two briefcases totaled forty-eight million dollars. Even with the two of them, the robbers could leave already. But I think they are up for something bigger. A bank always has money reserved in its vaults. "Who could have thought we could meet someone as rich as you, young man," he added before he ordered me to drop my knees on the floor. Then, he continued asking for the rest of the customers. Speaking of the customers, there were around fifteen of them including us. Mathematically, if I manage to save all of them, I could have at least fifteen more hours increase to my lifeline. Let alone the bank employees. Not bad when my vampire ba
