Chapter 4: Forest
Zane noticed something inside the tubes—a reddish liquid and something solid inside, looking like a human body.
"What are these?" he asked.
"The blood within the coffin needed to be repeatedly changed, so I constantly have to refill it. These tubes hold a mixture of humans and animals, their blood preserved inside their body with the help of the liquid," he explained.
This was a grotesque sight right here, but for some reason, Zane didn’t feel even the slightest bit disgusted.
’Why don’t I feel bad at the fact that she just told me that for a thousand years she had been gathering humans and monsters to give me a steady supply of blood?
Is it because I am no longer human? That would be the only reason why I don’t feel anything about it,’ Zane thought.
"I see, thank you for doing that for all this time," Zane said.
She got flustered the moment he thanked her, looking away in a shy manner. "I was only doing what I was supposed to do, Master," she replied.
"Well, if you had stopped, I would have died," he said and patted her head, stunning her.
’If you hadn’t, I would have probably been brought in here as a normal player. I don’t know if it’s a bad or good thing that I’m now a vampire, but I have to gather information.
If I don’t know what is going on, I might never be able to get back to Earth. That’s my first goal for now—gather information that will help me get back to the real world,’ Zane thought.
"So what do you wish to do now, Master? This place has only existed to keep you while you slept, but now you have woken up," Lucy said.
