Kai started testing his new power, the first power that he tested out was enhanced senses.
Kai could see a few mosquitos' wing constantly moving, while they were flying from a distance of three kilometers away. He then realized that if he focused, he could see all the small and delicate patterns on the mosquitos' fluttering wings.
The second sense was the sense of smell. Kai could smell everything in what he estimated was ten kilometers. As kai was exploring his sense of smell he caught the scent of something, metallic and delicious hidden under an extremely horrible smell, a smell that resembled body odor according to his memories.
The Delicious scent was coming outside of the earthy smell, Kai assumed that the earthy smell was the forest and the delicious scent was human blood. Kai estimated that a few kilometers away from the forest, was a human settlement. Maybe a town or a village.
The next sense that Kai tested was sound. Kai could hear boars running through the forest, flies' wings vibrate from each flap, and an engine's soft purr from what Kai assumed was nine or ten kilometers from his current location.
The fourth sense was the sense of taste. Kai could taste various objects in his surroundings, the blood that had dripped out of the boar when Kai had been drinking his blood, he could taste the bark of the surrounding trees in the relatively large forest.
The last sense was the sense of touch. Kai estimated that that he could know what was going to come in contact with his body from five meters away. He could do this because of his skin was reacting to the air flow, in addition to what Kai thought was his sixth sense.
The next power that Kai tested was his speed and agility. Kai started to run at full speed and ran around the full perimeter of the forest. Kai estimated that the forest was thirty kilometers long and wide and it only took him ten seconds to completely circle the forest which meant that each second that he ran at full speed was 3000 meters Kai thought in surprise and contentment.
Kai then remembered that when he had researched how much is the speed of sound? The answer was 343 meters per second which meant that he was running at nine times the speed of sound!
In addition to his physical speed, he also found out that if he wanted to, he could think so fast that time seemed to slow down for him.
The third power was Kai's physical strength. Kai first tried to punch a relatively large tree with the least amount of force that he could muster only 1% of his full strength. But when Kai's fist hit the tree it exploded with lots of shrapnel hitting Kai. Kai didn't take any damage from the shrapnel and instead stood in wonder, while looking down at his fist.
He then decided that he will need a bigger and sturdier target, so he tried to remember if he had seen any when he had raced around the entire forest. Kai remembered that on the opposite side of the forest was a huge boulder ten times his height(Kai stood at 1.86m of 6.2 feet tall). Once Kai reached the boulder's location, he pulled his arm back and once again punched the boulder with only 1% of his true strength.
The boulder had one fist sized hole, in addition to many small cracks. However, Kai was happy that the boulder withstood the impact of his fist and this time doubled his power so that this time he would punch the cracked boulder with 2% of his strength.
When Kai's fist touched the boulder, his fist and entire arm made its way into the boulder easily, like how a hot knife cuts butter. Kai shook his arm while trying to get his arm out, however the already almost 20 meters cracked boulder couldn't withstand Kai's strength and split apart, while the boulder became a large pile of rocks.
Kai thought to himself that he should stop his strength test, otherwise he would destroy the forest.
Kai moved onto the durability and endurance test. He started the test with extending his arm and placing it onto the biggest chunk of rock of the now-destroyed boulder. He then punched his arm with 1% of his strength, but Kai felt like nothing happened except that the rock broke in two and Kai felt a slight force touch his arm.
Kai understood that he would need to put in more strength into his punches in order to feel something, so this time he used 10% of his strength and punched down. when Kai felt the impact of his punch the entire ground rumbled, and a crater was created under Kai's body and the surrounding three meters.
Because Kai didn't feel any pain only a little discomfort he continued to punch his arm, this time with 50%. He punched his arm with extreme speed and force, and a huge rumble was heard from the surrounding 500 meters, while dust clouds rose from the earth to the direction of the sky. Kai could be seen in a huge 10 meters deep, 50-meter-wide crater.

Kai came to the conclusion that his durability had reached the point of withstanding an atomic bomb and only coming out of it with some cuts and bruises.
Kai remembered that vampires are meant to have enhanced rapid healing, so in order to test out his healing factor, Kai pulled his arm and ripped it off his torso with pure brute strength. Kai felt terrible, but he still convinced himself to continue his "experiment".
After a second Kai's remaining stump of his hand as well as the ripped arm in his other arm were both wiggling at the joint. Kai instinctively dropped his arm on the ground. However, the arm stood up on its fingers, like it had a mind of its own, and pushed itself off the ground into Kai's stump and safely reconnect itself. Kai flexed his arm and moved his fingers to see if there were any problems but there were none.
Kai understood that he had a healing factor similar to the X-men's' wolverine, or the rest of the vampires in twilight franchise if not better. In the book and the movie, the readers couldn't completely understand the prowess of the vampires' regeneration, because the enemy was already prepared for the regenerative ability of the vampires with fire and burned them before they had a chance to regenerate.
Kai fondly remembered that one time, he and his mother were fiercely debating on whether the vampires' regeneration ability was strong. He thought to himself {ha, who would have thought that I would experience it now, at least I know that I won that debate}.
Kai decided to check if he has any mental abilities now that he'd finished checking out his physical ones. These mental abilities were called "gifts".
"Gifts" are supernatural ability birthed by a human before he is turned into a vampire. The gift is usually superior quality or ability that is magnified when becoming a vampire, that becomes a type of mental power.
Kai had another theory- if you died/transformed in a certain way, you will have a "gift that will be influenced by how you were transformed/died. For example if you're last moments before your transformation were full of loneliness, there's a high chance you will have an ability that has something to do with loneliness (Alec's sensory deprivation, or influencing your emotions to feel depressed...).
Kai had no idea if he had any "gifts", but he guessed if he had any it would have something to do with blood, due to him dying surrounded by a pool of his own blood. However, he first checked to see if he had a stereotypical mental power like telekinesis or telepathy, but much to his disappointment he discovered that he didn't have them.
Kai then tried to concentrate and send his consciousness into his body to sense if there was anything there, again he failed but he managed to feel some sort of weird energy flowing through his body in constant loops. Kai tried to change the loop of energy by "opening" a hole in the loop, he managed but Kai couldn't control the energy as it flowed in the direction of his head.
Once the energy flowed into his head it stopped once it reached Kai's brain and instead moved towards the direction of Kai's eyes. Once the energy entered Kai's eyes, Kai could see strands of golden mist course through the surroundings. The strands of mist tended to avoid almost every living organism including plants and trees, while they touched minerals.
Kai looked down at his abdomen and saw that he was absorbing the strands of mist, and in addition he was glowing in a faint golden color which he assumed was a result of absorbing the mist. Once Kai stopped changing the flow of the loop, he stopped seeing the golden strands of mist in addition to the golden glow of his body, but he could still faintly feel the mist being absorbed into himself if he concentrated hard enough.
Kai dashed back to the creek that was on the other side of the forest, channeled the mysterious energy back into his eyes and glanced down at the creek. In his reflection Kai saw that his crimson colored eyes had a golden glow coming out of them the same color of the mist. The glow was coming from the many rings of mysterious runes that were circling his pupils.
Kai thought to himself that if you looked at the runes circling his pupils for long enough, you would become hypnotized. Kai thought to himself that maybe his theory was wrong if his "gift" is seeing weird mist and causing hypnotism, when he remembered that mysterious almost demonic energy that stirred when he first hunted the boar.
Now that Kai new the full extent of his abilities he discovered that he was much stronger than the description of the twilight vampires given in the book. Kai decided to think of a theory that explained why he was much stronger than the "normal vampires". He finally concluded that he was much stronger because he was the progenitor in this world or simply the first vampire.
After making that shocking discovery, Kai decided to stop calling himself Kai(Rejoice) and decided to call himself Kai(warrior) and for his last name he chose the name Natasa(resurrection), because he wanted to let the Kai that lay powerlessly while he was at someone else's mercy die and let the warrior who was resurrected from the land of the dead take over.
Now Kai had been reborn, gone was the powerless wimp who died in that attack, in his place stood the Vampire Progenitor who was a god compared to humans.
Kai now had to set goals for himself:
The first-find a human settlement.
The second-discover where he is and what year it is
The last that may seem laughable but at the same time the most important-FIND SOME CLOTHES!
And so, the start of Kai's adventure began, with Kai making his way in the direction of the human scent he had smelled earlier.
