"A what? What's that?"

"My race, I'm a vampire, and you perhaps are a succubus? Why are you trying to feed on a little girl?" I come closer to her with my mana sword, ready to take her head.

"WAIT, WAIT, WAIT!" Coming closer to her, she drops to the ground, terrified of me.

"You got one minute to say an excuse." I'm right beside her with my sword at her neck.

"Are you looking for a place to stay? Selling your body won't fix your problems, plus you are quite young."

"What? OF course not. I want a place to feed you, idiot."

"Oh. I didn't know. I was trying to charm you to try stopping you from doing something you would regret. Do you believe me?" Her eyes tell the truth, I think. Even if she lied, I could kill her later, and so I dispel my mana sword.

"Okey. I believe you, but that doesn't mean I trust you. Do anything to me, and you will end up like him. "

"I wouldn't dream of it! After you took down a level 39 so fast, I would be stupid in trying."

"Wait, you know their level? How?"

"Identify, do you not have the skill?"

"Sadly, no."

"But it's a general skill. Everybody has it."

"A general skill, what's that?"

"You are kidding me, right?" I glare at her, and she shrinks at my sight.

"General skills are different than job and class skills. Everybody can get them, but they require a lot of work.."

"I see."

Looking better at her, she seems kind of young, maybe 20 years old? She is the first demon I see; perhaps I could stay with her? She also smells like chocolate; I guess my vampire smell is something of a conscious choice if I don't want to know what a person's blood smell I don't?

"Say, do you have a house or a place to sleep?"

"Yes, do you want to sleep with me? Okay, that sounded wrong, I mean to say, do you want to stay at my house?" Her eyes lighted up like a candle in the night.

"Yes, until I get a job if that's fine by you?"

"Great! Come with me!"

Come with me, she says, but its more like 'I take your hand and get pulled by me' type of situation. After a few minutes, maybe like 30 or 20, we arrive at an institution? Why would she be here? Is she a student? The gate we entered has four guards, which is too much, in my opinion.

"Welcome back, Teacher Mary; I through, the principal, asked you not to bring any strays again to the academy?" A guard with light green hair and eyes meets us in front of the gate. With a spear in his hand and a symbol on his armor, I don't recognize stares at me as if he wanted to kill me, which the galere is responded with one of my own only he flinches.

"Stand down; she is a guest. I don't I have to tell the principal, some rumors about you now, do I?" The guard's eyes move from mine and start to panic at the succubus words.

"N-no teacher, she can come in."

He moves aside so we can pass, and once again, she takes my hand and begins to pull me wherever she wants. The buildings in this place are a lot like the apartments on earth. I guess there are a lot of students in the camp for there to be so many apartments. There are what, 10-15 apartments? Are there that many students? She still holds my hand as we walk on a paved road to some ordinary houses. Arriving at one, she pushes the door to the house and enters, leaving me at the front door. Should I make a rumor about vampires? You know, the rumor that they can't get in a house unless they are invited. I could get a head start and make my rumors and fool everyone. Yeah sure, let's do that. So like that, I wait in the front door until she notices that I'm not with her. And wait, and wait until I think two minutes she comes rushing at the front door seeing me with curiosity.

"What's wrong?" I look at her then at the glass window. Seeing that I don't talk she moves in front of me cups my face, and with a worrisome look, she asks:

"Hey, talk to me. What's wrong?"

"... I can't get in the house" What I said couldn't even be considered a whisper. 

This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it

"Could you repeat that?"

"I can't get into the house."

"Why?"

"I have to be invited by the owner." A lie. Maybe she won't believe me; if that happens, I would have to control her to forget about me. Ah, right, also the guards.

"That's it?  You have to be invited?"

"By the owner, yes."

"Well, then come in."

"You have to say my name."

"And your name is?"

"Ellesha."

"Okey. Ellesha, come in."

And with that, a rumor is born. I hope it won't come back later to bite. Anyway, the house is pretty decent considering the fact that a succubus lives in here. The living room has a couch, a coffee table, and what would I assume a T.V.? Does this world even have the technology necessary for that? Like any rational being, I sat on the couch, and at the same moment, she crouches in front of me. Why did you sit there?

"So Ellesha, I want to say first that you are the first vampire I met. Are there any rules I need to follow or things I need to know? Like, for example, the way you stopped at the front door because you need an invitation?"

"Before that, could you tell me your name?"

"Right! How could I forget about that? My name is Mary Grace, and as the guard at the gate said I'm a teacher at the academy of culture."

"Culture? What kind of academy is this?"

"This place is for any race that they want to free themself from their nature. Like a wrath demon trying not to give in the nature of killing when its angry or a succubus like me, trying to contain themself. They are trained by a young age to prevent doing something that they don't want to do."

Oh, so like a neutral ground for every race. That's kind of nice. I doubt a succubus could live without sex through. Are they perhaps trying to unite themself? Isn't it supposed to be every race for themself?

"Ellesha, could you tell me your rules that I need to follow? If that's okay with you?"

"Why are you so persistent about this?"

"Because as a child, I always watched some demons or beast-men do something that they regret. And seeing you kill that ruffian without batting an eye, I know I needed to help you. Do you enjoy killing?"

Wow. I never expected to meet a psychologist in another world, even if she is a succubus. If somebody asked me if I enjoy killing, the answer would be a no. But she didn't ask me this because she wants to know that. What's her motive? Wait a minute does she think I'm a child?

"Do you think I'm a child?"

"You are. Are you not?"

"No, Mary, I'm not. I'm 900 years old, and I also don't enjoy killing." Now, if you could consider wonder, confusion, and curiosity all at the same time, that would be her face right now.

"Wh-what? How?"

Sigh. "Vampires are ageless. We don't age. We drink blood to sustain our hunger and life. Many in my court debate what would happen if we didn't drink any blood when one transforms into a vampire, and before you ask, yes, any race could be a vampire, and no, I won't make anyone one."

"Wow. So you have to drink blood to survive? Do you have any preference or any blood will do?"

"Not any blood will do, and I also have my preferences. Like you, for example, you smell like chocolate. Ah. Also, if a vampire doesn't drink any blood, they go berserker and kill anything alive until they sate their thirst. "

"... Could I have some proof that everything you say is true?"

"Sure." I get up from the couch; I wonder what skill's I should use. My eyes and claws look so cool; I should start with that.

Racial Skill: Vampire Sight

Racial Skill: Metal Short-Claws

"Is this enough proof?" Why isn't she terrified? The look on her face definitely isn't arousal. Definitely not! Is she perhaps a masochist? That would explain her face and the smell her lower region gives.

Ahem. "Could you stop looking at me like that?"

"Ah. Sorry." Her face turns completely red at my words.

"Pedo."

"Wha? You are 900 years old that makes you-"

"Makes me what? Hmm?"

 Completely embarrassed, her words part her lips as she slightly bows. "Sorry."

"I maybe 900 years old, but in this form, I would like it if it wasn't sexualized."

Hear head perks up at that. "You have more than one form?"

Retracting my claws and deactivating my eyes I ance again sit down on the couch and wonder what time it is.

"Yes, I have more than one form, but I won't show them to you. Now I believe I followed you here so I could stay and sleep. Do you even have a room, or should I sleep on the couch?"

She looks at the wall close to the T.V., and sure enough, there is a clock there. How do I know, I followed her sight. It's one in the morning. Gee. And I don't feel tired at all. When I was on earth, I would get tired in the middle of the night, now? I guess I could go for some days or maybe even a week without sleep.

"Yes. It's already past twelve. I do have an empty room. Follow me."

The rest of her house is really simple. After the living room comes a corridor with three doors, one which I guess is the bathroom. Mary opens one room and goes in with me following behind. Quite the space she has here. The bed is in the middle of the room, following the window right in front of the bed. Nothing else is in this room beside the bed. Weird, isn't it?

"This is your room as long as you want to stay. We will talk tomorrow. Good night."

"Night."

She closes the door as she leaves, leaving me here with the comfortable bed that I jumped on. Mind you; I removed my clothes and my boots before that. I like to sleep naked without restraint. I feel freer that way.  I wonder what I should do tomorrow. Talk some more with Mary, look for a job, and find out about general skills. Who knows maybe I would find a useful skill. Yawn. Maybe. With these thoughts that were running through my brain, I slowly drift off to sleep in the comfy bed dreaming of delicious blood and Mary.
