Rob is more at ease now.

However, science still is not a replacement for the supernatural.

Lately, Rob has been communicating extensively with Alex III about many topics, from the supernatural to dreams to science.

Their opinions are the same: science is awesome but has limitations.

The supernatural is the only way for Rob to be a true immortal.

Alex III is far ahead of him when it comes to the rumor.

At the moment, Alex III is directly in control of a massive portion of inhabited land in Alex kingdom's dream world and can influence that entire world w. with the rivers and mountains alliance.

Even after this long, more than half of the people in both worlds are linked and have doppelgangers on the other side.

Anyone born would automatically be connected to another newborn on the other side; when the link dies, it won't be replaced with another, but with mortality rates low, most would have links throughout their lives.

As a result, a rumor spreading on one side means it will inevitably leak to the other.

Alex is well-known as a vampire on Alex's dream world's side. Everyone knows the king of Alex's kingdom and the president of the Mountains and Rivers Alliance is a vampire.

This fame also spread to the Star World's side, where most people also believe the same.

Alex III is not far from achieving his dream.

This fame, however, didn't transfer to Rob. Nobody on Star World's side thinks of him as a ghost.

Sighing from his inferiority to Alex III, Rob stood up from his chair and went to the cabinet meeting.

Now, he would also participate in cabinet meetings.

...

Rose and all the other ministers were in a room, with Rob at the highest seat.

Rose has already changed her body, so she looks like a beautiful young woman.

As for her brain, she plans to do the procedure with a rejuvenation elixir a few years later.

That procedure would take a few months, so he has to choose a temporary successor to get it done.

"Rose, we should form a supernatural alliance!" Rob learned this method from Alex.

UISEC is the strongest and most prosperous country; no matter which alliance it joins, it will dominate it.

Rose nodded.

An economic alliance benefits trade; her party is the free-market, low-tax party.

She doesn't like policies like tariffs. A union is entirely in line with her party's ideology. As a result, after some discussion on details, she agreed.

...

Alex III looked at his hands; they were cold and very pale.

"This is not normal!" he stroked his beard while thinking.

A while ago, he felt a problem with his heart.

The royal physician checked him, and he fainted.

Even though most people believe in the rumor of him being a vampire, those close to him don't believe it.

The royal physician, of course, knew he was not a vampire.

But that was before.

Now, the royal physician is most convinced that Alex III is a vampire. After all, he checked Alex III's heartbeat and knew for a fact that he was walking around with no heartbeat.

If he is not a vampire, then he is a zombie!

"But I don't feel the need to drink blood," Alex III shrugged helplessly.

"Maybe my transformation isn't complete yet?" he thought of a possibility.

But he didn't have to wait for long.

After a few days, he felt uncomfortable in the sun and began feeling the 'hunger.'

After bringing a 'death row' to try, his fangs also came out.

This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.

He drank the poor prisoner completely dry and threw him away.

"Hahahaha," Alex III laughed loudly with blood splattered all over his face.

His longtime plan finally worked as planned.

"Now, I am immortal!" he sighed with relief.

Being immortal was his core plan; if it failed in the main world, he could have been left with no choice but to run to a sub-world.

"Let's test it! Jack!" he called Jack.

Jack came in, looked at all the blood, and shivered.

The vampire rumor turned out to be true!

"Go and bring 100 war prisoners to the fighting arena. I will meet you there!"

After taking over a few countries, Alex kingdom now has many prisoners.

The prisoners were mostly those who refused to surrender.

Jack bowed and left.

Alex went out and felt a burning sensation. Even though the sun cannot kill him quickly, he would be burnt to death if he remains under the sun for long.

"Everything has drawbacks! Still, immortality is far more precious than the sunlight!" he thought.

Vampires are powerful fantasy creatures.

They get stronger the longer they age; they need to drink lots of blood at first, but they can live even with a drop of blood as they age.

However, older vampires are also more vulnerable to sunlight.

Alex III should be careful about it. However, Alex III is a newborn vampire, so the sun is not fatal for him at the moment.

...

At night, in the arena.

The area was lit up by the moonlight, which was very bright.

Alex III was standing on one side calmly.

In front of him were 100 fully armed prisoners.

"If you can kill me, you will be set free!" Alex III said.

He wore regular clothes, not at all taking 100 warriors seriously.

The prisoners looked at each other, and after a few moments, one who looked like their leader stared intensely at Alex III and then shouted.

With the shout, everyone sprinted toward Alex.

Alex III closed his eyes and opened them again.

Vampires are fast and powerful.

The movement of those warriors in front of him is as slow as a snail.

He began to move.

"So wonderful!" he was amazed.

Even though those people were running, he saw them as barely moving, but his movement was the same as normal.

The only obstacle was the air resistance; his body was strong and could move incredibly fast.

He strolled around them while stroking his beard.

He put his hand on the neck of a soldier and gripped it.

Without much effort, the poor soldier's head separated.

Alex III took the head and looked at it carefully.

The poor man had yet not realized what happened.

No drop of blood had yet come out of the gaping wound on the man's neck.

After a while, the man's eyes blinked.

"He is just finding out," Alex III chuckled.

He put the head back to where it was. Of course, it was already cut off, so 'putting it back' won't mean anything.

He continued moving and looking at the world in slow motion.

Soon, he reached the commander.

Alex III thought for a moment and then smiled.

With his right hand, he punched the commander in the face.

After a few seconds, Alex III heard a bang!

"I'm a few times faster than the sound! So amazing! How strong am I going to be when I age?"

The man's face was crushed, with a punch mark right in the middle, in the place that was supposed to be the nose.

Alex III moved around and saw another soldier.

He put his hand in where the man's heart was and moved it in. After a while, he took out something.

It was a heart, though not beating.

The man didn't change his expression; he didn't know he just lost his heart.

"Interesting! Now, a question! Can I sew his heart back? Would he be fine?" he thought.

He was pretty impressed with the medical science of the Star Dreamworld.

People in Alex's kingdom are all dumb!

They don't understand anything related to modern science.

He gave up sewing the heart back and continued moving.

Alex III moved to the next soldier.

"As I recall, we have a shortage in the harem," he thought.

In the past, they would have gotten enough men to volunteer to become eunuchs.

But after the vampire ordeal, it was rumored that Alex III eats his concubines. Even with the great pay eunuchs receive, there are not enough volunteers.

"Should I make a few eunuchs here?" He looked at the crotch of the soldier in front of him.

After some thought, he decided to try it.

Of course, he couldn't just let these enemy soldiers walk into his harem, even if they were eunuchs.

These are just experiments to see how they react, how their behavior changes, and if it's possible to use enemy soldiers in harems.

Alex III doesn't want to disband his harem.

After he became a vampire, he had even more desire. He felt annoyed; he preferred just reading books, but he still needed his harem until he found a way.

After a while, he chose ten to be eunuchs.

Then, he went by the rest, one by one, and cut off the head of every one of them.

As for the ten' volunteers,' he already 'eunuched' them.

He went back to where he was standing before.

Looking at his hand, he nodded. Despite killing so many, there is not one drop of blood on him.

"So clean and tidy! I like it," he smiled happily.

Then, he closed his eyes.

...

A moment ago

Jack was looking at Alex.

He was standing, and in front of him were 100 strong soldiers. He blinked.

The next moment.

…

"AAAAAA!"

Jack heard horrifying screams!

His eyes widened.

Blood! Blood everywhere.

Those hundred people all lost their heads in one blink of an eye.

A few were away and were screaming.

He looked at where Alex was.

He didn't move; he was just standing.

"Danger!" he felt while terrified.

Whatever it was, it killed so many people at once. Alex III is in danger! Even if he is a vampire, he might be unable to escape it.

Without care for his own safety, Jack screamed for guards, then ran toward Alex III.

"Your Majesty, run!" he screamed.

Alex III looked in his direction, not moving.

After less than 10 seconds, Jack reached Alex III and hugged him away!

Despite being a vampire, Alex III was light.

With Alex III in hand, he ran toward the guards that began to gather.

"Go and search all around!" Jack ordered.

The chief guard asked, "What is going on?"

"I don't know! Something terrifying beheaded them in a second! Everyone, form a circle around His Majesty!"

"Hey, Jack, put me down!" Alex III said from Jack's hug.

Suddenly realizing Alex was still in his hug, Jack put him down and apologized.

"Jack, you don't need to worry! Those ten are 'volunteered' for Eunuch training! Observe them and record how they react and their behavior and physique change. As for the rest, do whatever you want," Alex III said.

"Open the way!" he ordered.

By now, guards had formed a circle around him.

"Your Majesty, it's dangerous!" Jack warned.

"Idiot! You haven't got it yet? I was the one who beheaded them! Now, let's go back!" he said.

Jack didn't react momentarily; then cold sweat gathered on his forehead.

Alex III shook his head and closed his eyes.

The next moment, he disappeared!

Jack remained there like a statue for a few minutes before coming to himself and returning to the palace.
