Deep in the forest
墨書 Inktalez
Revenge doesn't know why he's called Revenge; his name means "revenge."
He has long black hair and unique gray-blue pupils. He always likes to stare into other people's eyes when speaking, as if he can see through their hearts. In reality, he is just being polite. He is human, but he looks too much like a vampire, cold and elegant.
He always dreams of being deep in the forest, with a strong, half-naked man who, despite his fierce appearance, has a bright smile as he runs towards a woman. Her skin is unusually pale in this dense forest, and she is wearing an elegant red dress, returning the man's smile. This scene always feels eerie, yet familiar.
In the era of "Revenge," it is a dark time ruled by vampires. The powerful vampire families have divided the world's resources, energy, political power, and economic structure. Due to the unequal distribution of resources among the vampire families, the Central Council was established for fairness. Humans, through their struggle, have also gained a few seats. Revenge often wonders if these human legislators, sitting next to vampires who could swallow them at any moment, tremble when they vote. What's more, his father is one of the human legislators, and he holds significant power.
The world is divided into three major regions, with strict laws prohibiting passage between them, maintaining a delicate balance. The main city area is the home of the vampire family and the Central Council, holding a large amount of land and resources. The sub-city area is crowded with a large number of humans, who have established their own power but are more like lambs to the slaughter. It is said that the Central Council regularly sends some unfortunate people to the main city area to be captured and killed, and these people are called "offerings." Revenge is not familiar with the no-man's-land, but knows that it is home to dangerous werewolves and many unknown creatures. Unlike most people, Revenge is the child of a council member, but most humans no longer resist, being infatuated with poetry, games, music, and gods.
Revenge's full name is Revenge L. Myers, and the the Myers family is a well-known livestock business in the first district of the sub-city area, with ancestors who reportedly provided supplies to the human navy. The the Myers family is respected by humans, has obtained a seat in the council, and has the strength to resist the small vampire family.
The the Myers family is actually quite unique. The father, Mediocre, appears to be a frail, thin man who always nervously pushes up the glasses on his nose, as if they might slip off at any moment. The mother, Chara, can be imagined as being beautiful and charming in her youth, and her sister looks just like her, equally beautiful and charming. In Revenge's eyes, the the Myers family are true warriors, fighting for the rights of humanity and loving both humanity and their family.
As for himself, he is a student at the University of the First District of the Deputy City, majoring in law. Ironically, in this world, the true law is the law of the jungle, the law of nature, and he doesn't know whom his study of law is meant to constrain.
The afternoon sun shines through the thick clouds, casting dappled light onto the streets of Human city. This place used to be a symbol of prosperity and vitality, but now it seems unusually quiet and desolate. In this era, although the city's appearance remains unchanged, with clean streets and orderly buildings, there are few people walking on the streets. Every person who goes out carries an urgent and alert expression, because they know that once they leave their homes, they may never be able to return.
Despite being strictly forbidden by his parents to go out, Revenge's curiosity and adventurous spirit make it impossible for him to be content with this imprisoned life. On this day, he decides to venture out again. He tiptoes out of his bedroom and as he descends the stairs, he hears his parents' conversation about "voting" and politics, which to him, are filled with hypocrisy and meaninglessness.
Revenge quickly walked through the hall, pushing open the door decorated with garlic strings - this was carefully designed to prevent vampires, and every household had one. He leaped over the carefully placed holy water pool in front of the door, another barrier for residents' self-protection. He pushed open the community gate engraved with a large cross and stepped into the almost forgotten outside world.
There was no one on the street, and the air was filled with a sense of unease and fear. Although the shops were open, they were dark and empty inside, and the shopkeepers only occasionally appeared, quickly completing necessary transactions before disappearing behind the safety of the scenes. Revenge's heart raced, each step landing on the cold cobblestones, echoing footsteps on the deserted street.
His destination was the subway station leading to deep in the forest, which was considered one of the few relatively safe exits to the outside world. Nevertheless, the deserted subway station still sent shivers down his spine, as if every corner could be hiding danger. Revenge's heart was filled with complex emotions, a mixture of curiosity for the unknown and inevitable fear.
He passed through one desolate ticket gate after another and boarded the train bound for the forest. The train car was empty, with only the echoing mechanical sounds and occasional shadows passing through the windows accompanying him. The train slowly started, heading towards that area full of mystery and danger, deep in the forest.
He quickly arrived at the edge of the city. The towering city walls reached into the clouds, constructed from thick, heavy stones, each bearing the marks of time. Moss and vines growing on the walls seemed to hold untold secrets. Whenever the wind blew, the vines on the wall swayed gently, making a rustling sound, as if whispering.
Revenge walked in the shadow of the high wall, feeling the cold air emanating from it. His gaze pierced through the thick stone crevices, attempting to glimpse the real world outside. But his attention was soon drawn to a figure, a girl with flaxen hair, whose silhouette stood out conspicuously in the sunlight.
The girl was wearing a light, thin white dress, standing barefoot on the ground covered with fallen leaves. Her hair was gently swaying, and the sunlight filtered through the treetops, casting dappled light on her face, making her look like a forest nymph. Revenge dared not look at her snow-white ankles, only at the girl's eyes, which were both mysterious and teasing, making his face turn red.
Revenge broke the silence and asked, "How did you end up here? There's nothing good in this forest except for wild beasts."
The girl turned her head and gazed at him with her clear, watery eyes, smiling as she said, "I'm looking for something to eat."
Revenge chuckled lightly and replied, "In a place like this, you can only find mushrooms and tree bark at most."
The girl seemed uninterested in the topic and instead asked, "What's your name?"
"Revenge," he replied.
"It's a very special name," the girl giggled, then suddenly leaned in closer and whispered, "You look delicious."
Revenge felt an unprecedented ambiguity, but the girl's actions were unusually gentle. She gently took his hand, her fingertips sliding over his skin, leaving behind a chilling sensation. His skin felt a strange stimulation under her touch, both cold and exciting. His heart was in turmoil, while he tried to appear mature and composed on the surface.
Did he have an affair?
Revenge, this kid has good conditions in all aspects, good at studying, good-looking, and smart.
He was restless and turned to look at the girl.
The girl's eyes gradually changed, the initial clarity and innocence disappeared, replaced by an unfathomable, greedy gleam. Her face slowly approached Revenge, her breathing became rapid and heavy, each breath exuding a cold mist. Revenge felt her breath was plundering the warmth from his body, making him colder with each breath.
He turned to look at the girl again, only to see that her eyes no longer held the previous tenderness, but were filled with a thirst for blood. Her teeth gradually sharpened, like the sharpest dagger of the night, gleaming with a cold light. The girl's face contorted with extreme hunger, her beauty turning into a terrifying temptation in that moment.
"I always learn about my food before I eat," her voice was low and hoarse, like a whisper from another world. As she spoke, she suddenly pulled Revenge into a cold embrace, and he could feel her sharp teeth touch his neck, lightly and almost lovingly grazing his skin.
Just as Revenge was about to give up resistance and accept this terrible fate, the girl suddenly screamed in agony. Her body convulsed violently, and black blood spilled from the corner of her mouth. Her eyes reflected deep fear and confusion, as if tormented by some invisible force. A few seconds later, her body collapsed weakly to the ground, life rapidly slipping away.
The girl collapsed to the ground, her life rapidly slipping away. Revenge was filled with terror, amidst the chaos, he felt a strong dizziness, and then everything plunged into darkness...
