I banged my forge hammer against the large table, where a naked and horribly injured human woman lied. Dracula had asked me a peculiar request, to bring this human back from the dead. It was peculiar because he was currently trying to exterminate all humans.

I banged my hammer again, creating another high pitched echo. I had covered up the woman’s intimate parts with shredded cloth, to maintain her last bit of modesty. I banged my hammer one last time before she slowly opened her eyes.

They turned a bright shade of blue before fading. That was my emblem. I took a few steps back.

The deep wounds in her leg and stomach remained, but she was still undead. That was how my alchemy worked.

“…Are you…okay?” I asked quietly.
