RE:BORN Zombie

Who said war was a bad thing? Under good circumstances, it could be the best thing to happen, it all depends on which side one is affiliated with. In Victor's case, his side was the victorious one, so naturally it would be favourable. There were no celebrations or cheers after his side won the war though. His army was made of zombified vampires, so the emotions department was on strict lock down.

With the ample supply of evolution material, Victor was able to advance further in rank and advanced to the next rank which was and Ancestral Vampire. It brought with it new levels of strength and power, with this singular achievement being enough for the entire journey to be worth it.

With this rank came new abilities and possibilities. For example, Victor could now control vampires under a particular rank even though they were not of his lineage. If they were of his lineage, he was able to control those of higher rank, as high as the rank directly below his, which was vampire lord.

"It's decided then, I will grow a vampire community and army. That way I won't really need to have the need for them to be walking corpses, and they would be able to create more vampires, increasing the army.. I mean, society."

Something he g=found out earlier some time ago back on earth was that the vampires he awakened back into his legion had for some reason lost their ability to turn humans into vampires. This made him think that their race had been altered as they had now become a bit of zombies. This caused the question of the exact changes that happened to the bodies of the one he raised, and Victor made a note to check it out in future when he had the time.

Of course, as a true collector, Victor made sure to live some vampires alive after the battle that he thought were good enough. He didn't actually live them alive, but made them part of his legion. They weren't part of his lineage, so he didn't have control over them, but even though they happened to be of lower rank and he had control, he still wouldn't trust them as he couldn't say how reliable the hold he had was. Better safe than sorry.

After receiving information, Victor continued on his way to further drive the vampires into extinction. This was not his original plan and was not even in his mind, but his goal required him to do this, so eh..

After spending close to two months in this world, Victor was finally ready to leave and return to earth. Unfortunately, he had not been able to further evolve his vampire bloodline, but he got two other interesting bloodlines which he incorporated into his base form. If it wasn't because of the distance and time it took to travel from place to place, Victor would have been done with everything, but it had to be so. He may be fast, but he was not flash, even quicksilver had to take breaks.

Victor made sure to visit most of the interesting places and as much as he could, tried to acquire unique creatures. As it goes, unique isn't a common thing to come by, so Victor could only get so much.

Amongst these creatures were

A slime, which despite being of basic intelligence and acting mostly on instincts was pretty strong, and it's cutting ability was enough to break even Amadon's defence easily, if it could touch him. Other things would simply be divided into two. Victor couldn't tell exact what the limit of this was, but it was pretty reliable.

There was a werewolf who claimed to be the last of his kind, a pretty huge wyvern that was bigger than any one Victor had ever seen, not like he had seen that many, but he was sure those one was of a different kind entirely. There was another creature that looked like countless rubber thread were put together to form a pretty giant worm, though it looked pretty disgusting, Victor could see it being useful, so he added it to his collection.

After all that, they had to travel all the way back towards the gate, and Victor could only hope it was still open. He now had over 200 new legion members, and all of them were enough to cause the rank of a dungeon to be S rank, it was an amazing haul.

There were still vampires scattered around that survived, but Victor couldn't bring himself to bother about those ones. They couldn't really rebuild their community, and unless they found and raised pigs, there weren't a lot of animals they could survive on. Whatever fate lied ahead of them was none of his concern. He may have been the cause of their situation, but it was how things always went, same happened to the humans, it was only their turn. Not that he fell any sentiment though.

Victor was a bit surprised to see that the gate was still open even after a month and half had passed. To say the truth, he wasn't expecting this outcome. He had expected the gate to have done something else, like close, but 'I guess it was never a simple gate after all.' He thought to himself.

Victor travelled on the back of the Wyvern, so his journey was relatively quick, and he had to unsummon it before heading out through the gate. Of course he wouldn't parade his power so blatantly around, so every other legion member was also not out at the moment.

The pass through the gate was smooth and easy, as normal, and in an instant he was on the other side of the gate, back on earth.

As he walked through the city where the gate was situated, he could still smell the rotten flesh that littered the entire city. As it would seem, this was what became of such cities that experienced such breaks and got destroyed.

However, ignoring the flesh and all, something seemed to be off, if not a little bit. Whatever it was, Victor decided it would be a good idea to head to the Under Current base and meet with Maggie. He needed not to check on those he left at home, as he was sure they were all good, after all he could tell if they died, and he hadn't gotten any such feeling.

Finally he could move all the great distances with his teleportation skill. Victor directly teleported himself to Maggie's laboratory, but she happened not to be there. He immediately used his map to see where everyone was within the building, but then nothing seemed to be amiss like a meeting or such. Unfortunately, the mark he placed directly on her had disappeared after she broke off old skin or whatever it was she did, so he couldn't teleport directly to her location.

Victor decided to first find someone holding a good position in the organization first to get information.
