In My Favorite Novel As The Final Villain

"This feels like... A heart," he murmured, his hands roaming over a heart-shaped object.

The particles of darkness covering Theos\' body suddenly dispersed, as did the markings on his body, which shrank and finally returned to their original state.

Theos felt a pleasant sensation coursing through his entire being, an unimaginable satisfaction as if he were lying on a cloud itself.

But he didn\'t let this feeling and satisfaction take over him, instead, he had an unimaginable happiness... He had found it!

"The Vampire Heart," he finally said, grabbing the object with one hand and extending it into the air.

The crimson light immediately diminished, revealing a kind of heart-shaped crystal the size of a fist.

[The host has contact with the Vampire Heart.]

The system notified what Theos already knew, but Theos did not let it distract him. He immediately brought the vampire heart to his mouth and...

He ate it!

*Burp*

Theos burped after swallowing the vampire heart, at first he didn\'t feel a single difference from his previous state.

"Agh," but suddenly Theos winced and fell to the ground, clutching the heart area.

His body had begun a transformation!

Theos\' skin began to stain in a transparent tone, anyone who saw him would have seen all his bones and organs.

And if that wasn\'t enough, his crimson eye glowed brightly, causing blood to spurt out of the eye.

[Transformation has begun, Transformation to the Vampire race.]

The notification echoed in Theos\' mind, but he did not pay attention to it, rather, the pain did not let him hear anything at all.

The pain, unbearable, like a thousand knives stabbing his body in fire, made him writhe in pain.

"....", but Theos did not complain even once, enduring the pain in silence.

With each passing second his body continued to change, with grotesque and sickening sounds.

The wounds received in battle healed and closed at an impressive speed. Even the bones and flesh on his back took on the shape of a pair of bat wings, which grew larger and larger until they reached two meters in height.

[Vampire Transformation, completed]

[Congrats to the host, He got a new race!]

As the system notifications came in, the pain subsided considerably, until finally he no longer felt pain.

"Agh," Theos grimaced, trying to get up from the ground.

However, he almost slipped as he wanted to get up, looking down, he noticed a large pool of blood and other fluids.

"What the...", he couldn\'t believe that so much blood had leaked out of his body, and with all and all, he was still alive.

After a few minutes, he managed a way to lift himself off the ground, away from the pool of blood he had created.

[New breed!]

The system notified again, causing Theos to feel a tremendous headache. \'What the fuck is going on? Even that guy in the novel didn\'t feel this much pain from becoming a Vampire. Even my body is very tolerant to pain, so why did I feel so much pain,\' he thought.

He couldn\'t understand, he hadn\'t foreseen that he was going to feel so much pain when he became a Vampire. If he had known, he wouldn\'t have done it in the first place.

It wasn\'t because he couldn\'t stand the pain, but because he considered it too risky to lie motionless on the ground for minutes. Were there good people in this world? No! His guards themselves could have killed him, although it was almost impossible, there is no such thing as impossible.

And if that wasn\'t enough, the Vampires themselves could come in here and see him motionless! What would they do? Heal him?

After destroying his territory, and killing his King and relatives, could they help him, no way!

\'Better not do this carelessly again, this time, I was lucky,\' Theos concluded, making a mental note about this lesson.

Still, his body felt extremely weak and tired, as if he couldn\'t bear to walk more than 10 steps and fall.

Theos had a speculation as to why this was.

\'It\'s daytime, where vampires are weaker, that\'s why vampires are so weak and couldn\'t give me battle, and that\'s why I was able to defeat the king,\' Theos remembered clearly.

Like all fantasies, the Vampire race is very weak in the daytime, weakening their strength by almost 50% if there is sunshine, and for Theos, a "new" Vampire, basically his strength was weakened by 99%.

"I should get back," Theos muttered, clutching his aching head.

His mind was spinning, but still, he found a way to get out of the palace and walk. To recover faster, he pulled out A-rank potions, swallowing one immediately.

Instantly there was an improvement in his body, he didn\'t feel as weakened, but still, he felt his body weak and strange.

"How are they doing?" asked Theos as he approached one of the guards.

The guard turned to give a bow and speak. Fixing his vision on Theos, the guard was surprised by his incredible physical change in such a short time. "Sir, what happened to me?"

"I didn\'t ask you that," Theos narrowed his eyes in annoyance.

The guard quickly gave several bows in apology. "Forgive my boldness, sir." He continued speaking under Theos\' nod. "Everything is in order, every single vampire is doing their job, even the children."

Theos nodded with a satisfied expression. "Good, let them keep it up, let them bring at least a third of a ton of those black stones."

"Understood."

The guard walked away to inform his companions what his master wanted. Theos, on the other hand, was getting more and more used to his body.

With an indifferent and cool expression, along with a straight and noble posture, no one suspected that he was in a weakened state.

\'It\'s time to make my army strong,\' Theos thought as he approached one of the vampires.
