After my outburst, I felt a lot better. After all, I did just get killed, I think it's understandable that I would be arguably pissed.
After a thorough inspection of my body, I determined the differences between this body and my old one, and I was pleasantly surprised.
I could feel that despite this being a new and untrained body, it was close to my old body in strength and magical power.
Second, I was good-looking, which is always a bonus. Third, I still had my abilities from my old body, which I had been quite worried about losing.
The fourth and final change was in shape and size. I was way, way smaller than my old body, which could be mistaken for a half-giant. This body was around the size of the average human, and I my weight was distributed differently due to being of the different gender.
I went through a round of exercises, from basic push-ups, squats, and yoga to martial techniques. It would take a while for me to completely adapt to this new body, but I suppose I'll take anything over true death.
I let out a deep breath as I finished the final technique. I wasn't particularly disappointed with this body, even if it was weird.
Now... What to do. As the question rolled around my mind like a candy you don't wanna chew or swallow, I sat next to a tree and leaned back on it, staring into nothingness.
I didn't particularly want to go back crusading against humanity and it's alike. That had consumed my entire second life, and while I don't regret it, there are several things I wish I didn't do and some I wish I did.
However... I didn't know my purpose. I definitely couldn't go and just live with humans, for I was still the Vampire, the ruler of the night. The humans would definitely do anything in their power to end me, again.
Going to check out if that Demon King brat was still alive could be an option, however, I had no idea where to begin.
I sighed. Thinking about it would only lead me in circles, never accomplishing anything. Might as well do as I always did, go with the flow and crush any obstacles.
I stood up and looked up at the sky, the cursed sun shining down brightly.
The rays of the cursed thing sizzled my flesh slightly, but it was nothing dangerous. I had long since invented ways to deal with the sun, and as long as I gained enough exposure to it, my body would eventually become immune to it.
I activated my blood senses and felt the familiar smell of blood. I smiled darkly as I rushed toward the source.

"Give up all your belongings and those 2 women and I might spare you" A filthy-looking man laughed as he looked at a small group in front of him.
This group was composed of a young human male with sword and shield, a female elf not too far from his age and a human female with a robe and staff.
All in all, it was a pretty normal scene. A bunch of naive youngsters caught by a group of worthless thugs. Things like these were nothing but common.
"Never!" The naive kid shouted as he used his body to hide the two girls behind him.
"Hehe... I knew you were gonna say that! Now, my men are going to shoot you up, and then I'm going to enjoy those two pretties behind you..." The filthy man said. "Or... Perhaps we could keep you alive... I heard the boss enjoys blondes like you..."
The three kids shivered as they heard this. The robed girl shouted "You'll never defeat Brian! We'll defeat you and bring you to justice!"
One of the filthy man's minions laughed darkly as he said lustfully "Defeat us? Yeah, sure. You'll defeat us in bed while chained up."
The robed woman bit her lips in fear, trying not to scream. She was terrified beyond words.
"Kekeke... Time's up. I'm bored with you kids. Make sure not to kill any of them." The filthy man said as he slowly walked towards them, drawing his sword.
However, before a fight could truly break out, one of the men shouted. "Boss! Look!"
"What is it!?" The boss answered, annoyed. He didn't even consider the kids a threat, because they really weren't.
The story has been taken without consent; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
Turning around, he saw a small figure walking towards them from further up the road. His smile hardened as he squinted to see better, but he relaxed after noticing it was just another harmless-looking woman.
"Hehe! It's our lucky day. Three pretties tonight... We'll be feasting!" He shouted as he looked at the three kids.
"Just wait there for a moment. Do anything dumb and we'll cut off your legs and arms..." He smiled darkly and walked waited for the girly to either run or rush over.
She did neither. She just walked till she was less than 20 meters from the encircled group.
"Rox, go seize that girl. The rest of you, bind these three." The filthy man said, his voice turning hoarse from excitement.
Soon enough, the four kids had been bound and tied, then thrown on the floor in a more remote area. The three kids had resisted fiercely, but they had been easily overwhelmed.
The fourth girl had just let herself be taken, looking more curious than scared. The bandits just laughed at her look, thinking her a spoiled noble.
However, when they tried to strip the four, that's when things changed.
"Touch me and I'll make sure you suffer the worst pain imaginable." The strange girl, the ex-Night King said.
"I'd like to see you try..." The filthy man said, walking over. Looking at the girl, he licked his lips. Long dark hair, a cute but still mature face and just perfect chest. All that a creepy rapist would ever want.
"Alright." The girl said, her face breaking into a strange smile.
Before the filthy man could retort, the ropes binding the Night King snapped, and before everyone's eyes, the girl seized the filthy man's face faster than lightning and slammed his head into the ground.
As blood leaked from his broken nose and teeth, the girl let out a creepy laugh that sounded so out of place it sent shivers down the spines of the bandits, who were too stunned to do anything.
"HmHMMHmmHmMHm... Now, this... Is my kind... of kink..." She lowered her head to lick the blood on the filthy man's face, who was still confused at what had happened.
Feeling a strangely cold tongue licking his face, he tried to struggle, but he was powerless as the girl's grasp seemed to be unbreakable.
"So good..." She half-moaned as her eyes glazed. "It's been too long..."
"HELP ME, YOU IDIOTS!" The filthy man cried out, completely terrified. This spurred the other bandits in action, as they tried to run to their boss' help.
"Be good for me and let me suck you..." She whispered as her mouth enlarged far beyond what it should and her teeth grew to almost three times their size.
Just as the men were about to reach their boss, she turned towards them and let out a roar. "Fuck off, worthless maggots!"
The men were stunned yet again, however, a strange power seemed to prevent them from returning themselves as they just stood there, staring blankly.
"Now... I said I would make you suffer... Let's make sure you do..." She whispered into his ears as the filthy man felt something drilling into his sides and back, making him cry out in pain.
He tried to look at what was happening. He was horrified to see little snakes of blood drilling out from his body and then back in, riddling him with holes and unimaginable pain.
He started crying as he begged. "Please! I won't ever do anything bad again! Please spare me, my lord! aaaAAAAA" He cried even harder, but then stopped as something clogged his throat.
"Shhh... Not so loud... I like my food to stay silent while I dine..." The monster next to him whispered. At this moment, he was regretting everything.
Finally, the filthy man's life ended as the ex-Night King sunk her teeth into his neck and sucked the life out of him, leaving only an empty husk devoid of substance.
Turning towards the still stunned thugs, she beckoned them over with her hand, and they slowly waddled over to her without a hint of resistance.
After sucking the life out of every thug while taking her time, she turned towards the three kids, who she had spared from the effect of her previous roar.
They looked at her as if they were looking at the devil itself. She laughed creepily as she bent in front of them.
They were still tied up, so they could do nothing but look at her as she stared into their eyes. "Obey me... Obey me... Obey me... You are my slaves..."
After a minute, the three kids began repeating with her. "Obey you... Obey you... Obey you... I am your slave..."
Satisfied, she switched her words. "You will tell me everything you know..."
* * * * * * * * * *
After sucking the life out of the three brats, I finally felt satisfied. It had taken a bit longer to deal with these worthless maggots than it should have, but I wanted to have fun during my first meal in this new life.
The three kids had vomited out quite a lot of information. Summed up, 600 years had passed since my supposed death, and the world had returned more or less to the way it was before me.
The hero who killed me had 'returned to his world', although knowing humanity, they probably just killed him somehow. Or worse, depending on his luck.
Beyond that, I was actually surprised to find that my hypnotic abilities had become quite a bit stronger than before.
Anyways, after hearing the story from the three kids, I decided that perhaps visiting a human city might be a good idea. There seemed to be quite a lot of good stuff going around in there, and besides, from what they said, the population of the cities there is something like 100 times what it used to be in my times.
A population boom would be nothing surprising after my death, but I wasn't expecting such a big one. Apparently, the nobles had become even more corrupt than my times too...
I sighed. To help, to live with, or to kill. What to do...
