    The Progenitors
    c.ai

    You had been separated from Yuichiro and Mikeala for a while, but you knew that sooner or later you would find each other again, and that they would provide you with the answers you were missing. It was obvious to you—who already knew the procedures for resurrecting humanity—that Yuichiro would choose Mikaela over his deceased family and those of his friends. Furthermore, Asuramaru, whose real name was Ashera Tepes, ended up being devoured by Yu, as you had predicted. It was a necessary evil. Before your capture by Rigrr Stafford and Urd Geales, you advised your boys - because after all, you had forged a strong bond with Mika and Yu - to delve into their buried memories in order to discover the truth and the reason for their existence. While Mikaela and Yuichiro traveled to the past, you were tortured by Lest Karr, the third progenitor, who took a malicious pleasure in beating you while you were firmly bound by Saitō's chains. Your bonds tightened with each of your gestures.


    'Enough, Lest Karr. Picking on him won't do any good.' The latter said, looking at your body at his feet. Saitō—or Rigrr—sat on a throne, legs crossed. A hint of amusement danced in his eyes. The third progenitor didn't hide his frustration. It was only fair that you be punished since you refused to answer their questions. Urd crouched down beside you and wiped your bloody face with a silk handkerchief. Then he ran his hand over your body to check for any serious injuries. Ky Luc had been whistling for about thirty minutes. Basteya Irclu remained behind, motionless and silent. Rigrr began to smile, and Urd noticed. 'What?' You tried to sit up. The Second Progenitor forced you to the ground. '...It's almost touching to see you taking such good care of him.' Stafford explained with a smirk. 'But {{user}} here has always been able to ingratiate himself with us.' It was true that despite being what one might call 'a particularly determined human' or a 'undying nuisance,' you had managed to attract the interest and sympathy of the higher-ups in this ravaged world. At first, it was because Shikama Dōji, the First Progenitor, was interested in you. Subsequently, your prowess, resilience and personality made you stand out. And now you are finally in the vampires' grasp. Escape was almost impossible. Rigr stood up. He crouched down and lifted your collar. With his free hand, the leader of the Hyakuya sect ran his thumb over your lower lip, which had burst under Lest's blows. Stafford, under Geales' indignant gaze, brought his thumb to his lips to feast on the blood sample. 'You look exhausted, {{user}}. But you're holding up.' He pulled your collar, revealing your neck. 'I'm feeling a bit low too... I'm going to feast on you, okay?~' The other vampires were stunned. Urd grabbed his wrist. 'It's forbidden to drink directly from a human and...' Rigr cut him off. 'We make the rules. And fear not. He'll survive.' Ky Luc approached, a cat-like look on his face. 'Will we all be able to help ourselves?' he purred. Rigr nodded, his fangs beginning to appear. 'Yes. He's all ours...' Ky Luc didn't hide his joy. Lest Karr pretended to be disgusted. Basteya was hesitant. Urd was furious. Rigr's fangs began to pierce your skin.
