Sunlight broke through the clouds, shining on Akira's face, making him yawn and stretch his body lazily.
Conducting hygiene, Akira looked outside with bitterness in his eyes.
He has been in this world for as long as he can remember, 23 years in fact, however, he knows that he is not from this world. He was like a triangle in a world that was a circle. He just didn't fit.
His memories are faded, and he cannot remember much about his past life. That didn't change the fact he was disappointed that he could not use chakra.
Akira wanted to be able to use jutsu and jump from trees like ninjas; unfortunately, he was as regular as it comes.
He didn't remember anything worthwhile from his past life, making him incapable of making a living, so he had remained mediocre in these 23 years.
Currently, he is living in the Forest of Death by himself. His parents were victims of the power struggle inside the Village Hidden in the Leaves when he was six. Afraid that he may end up like his parents, Akira escaped.
If his parents, who were Genins, couldn't survive, little had to say about him, who is but a mere civilian.
The recognised ranks of ninjas, as his parents told him, are Genins, Elite Genin, Chunin, Elite Chunin, Special Jonin, Jonin and Kage. Each rank was stronger than the last. How much stronger is unknown.
The way the one-eyed old man looked at him, made Akira even more determined to leave the village which he did, but maybe because he was in a rush, he ended up deep in the Forest of Death, far away from human contact.
He had been in the Forest of Death for the last 17 years, fighting the beasts. He could even fight the chakra beast, but he never won. He could do all of these because his body is naturally stronger than normal people's bodies.
Looking at the corner of his eyes, Akira saw the loading bar he grew to love and hate, a second from loading.
While Akira didn't have much information about his past life, he knew that the loading bar was something that could help him survive in this world. He just had to wait a few more minutes, and it will be fully unlocked.

Looking at the decreasing time, Akira started to sweat nervously, as he had to make a choice quickly!
All of the races were good, but Akira had to choose one, making it even harder. Gritting his teeth, Akira chose one randomly.
~Ding~
[Congratulations for choosing the Vampire race. Hosts have gained the following racial skills: [(Embrace), [(Charm), [(Heightened Senses), [(Night Vision), and [(Shadow Movement)].]
[(Embrace): Allow the Host to transform a creature into a loyal subordinate that is weaker than the Host and can only become stronger as the Host himself becomes stronger. (0/1)
[(Charm): Force any creature to obey the Host via eye contact. The higher the subject's intelligence, the faster it can break free of control.

~Ding~
[Host has gained the following weaknesses: Sunlight, Holy Magic, Fire, and Lightning]
~Ding!~
[Changes to Host will now commence, System advises the host to find a dark place so as to not die from exposure to sunlight.]
Akira quickly closed the curtains and fell on his bed, feeling his mind becoming heavier before he passed out.
Akira seemed to find himself in a world of darkness with many creatures who were making bone-chilling roars and screams!
Many eyes seemed to be observing him from the darkness, but two crimson eyes that belonged to a teenage girl with silver hair kept them at bay.
The girl looks at him with amusement, as he also looks at her with confusion. The girl pointed her finger at him, and everything became pitch black.
~Ding!~
[Blood Goddess Shalltear Bloodfallen has granted Host the following skill: [(Blood Pool)] (lvl 0))]
[(Blood Pool): Host is able to sense and control blood as long as it is outside one's body. A higher level will give the Host higher control.]
~Ding~
[Blood Goddess Shalltear Bloodfallen has requested the Host to kill a hundred people in her name. Reward: Blood Pool 1]
The first thing that greeted Akira was the notification before him.
Putting two and two together, Akira figures that the silver-haired girl is the so-called Blood Goddess.
As for why he had fallen under the gaze of a goddess? Akira did not care.
Dismissing the notification, Akira observed himself and saw he didn't experience any changes apart from his skin becoming pale and a sense of power welling up in him.
"Did my temperature drop? I also can't feel my heartbeat. My hearing seems to have increased. Now I can hear everything in my immediate surroundings." Akira stood up, but that simple action propelled him into the ceiling, making his head look at the outside of the simple house.
Akira didn't feel any pain. It was like he touched cotton.
~Ding~
[Host is an immortal being, a Vampire. A vampire is an undead that cannot die via normal means. The host has no temperature because the Host has already died. Host as a vampire has ten times the strength of a human.]
Akira's memory cleared a little when he woke up, so he remembered the abilities of vampires from his past life and concluded his abilities were stronger.
Unlike those vampires, he can upgrade his skills and become stronger.
It doesn't matter if he's dead as long as he is himself. Plus, a vampire is certainly a cool race. Undying as long as one's heart isn't pierced and weak to sunlight, this is a broken race! His potential is certainly high.
Akira decided to test his newfound power. However, since the System said his power would follow the guise of jutsu, he randomly made a hand sign he had seen his parents use before, feeling his power activating.
[(Shadow Art: Shadow Movement)]
Before he could think, Akira arrived in a new location covered in shadows.
"Ahahah, so powerful." Akira thought about what he felt, 'As long as I make hand signs, I can activate any of my skills. When I use Shadow Movement, I feel I can only appear twenty meters from where I use the skill. Maybe it's because I'm too weak.'
"Let's see what my other skills can do."
Making random hand signs, Akira whispers silently.
[(Summoning Art: Summon Household)]
A large summoning formation appeared on the ground before a large number of shadow animals appeared, surrounding him.
Looking at the shadow wolves, rats and bats, Akira's mind flashes, 'I seem to be able to command them with my mind. This will do nicely. Also, what do I use as a power source? Can I summon them indefinitely? I need to test that. Also, when I activate this skill in the future, I should touch the ground for effect.'
Looking at the animals around, Akira sends a command via his mind, 'Scout the Forest of Death, and return when you are finished.'
The animals disappeared into shadows, not affecting the surroundings at all.
Standing up, Akira felt hungry as his stomach grumbled.
Returning to his shack of a home, Akira looked around for food and found a basket of fruits. Biting into a fruit, he spat it out in disgust.
"Even as a vampire, human food shouldn't taste like this." Akira sighed as he didn't want to drink human blood, not because he was once human, but because not everyone was as hygienic as he was.
As someone from Earth, he knew what kind of disease a human could carry, and he didn't believe this world was excluded from this. There might be deadlier diseases since ninjas exist.
Just thinking about it made his face pale slightly in disgust.
~Ding~
[Does the Host want to use Lottery Draw?]
"Yes."
~Ding~
[Congratulations, Host obtains (Robe of Darkness), (Ring of Concealment), and (Blood Potion)]
[(Legendary) (Robe of Darkness): (The Robe of Darkness) is an item once worn by an Ancestral Vampire under the command of a Blood God. The robe possesses the ability to increase the strength of vampires and all racial skills.
(Rare) (Ring of Concealment): (The Ring of Concealment) created in the Court of Monsters - Nazarick - protects creatures of darkness from the rays of sunlight.
(Rare) (Blood Potion): (Blood Potion) is created by the God of Potion - Nferia Bareare - under the request of the Blood Goddess. The potion is capable of curbing the urge to drink blood for a week.]
~Ding~
[….Er..ror found, items must abide by the rules of the World of Shinobi. All items have been adjusted thusly.
The (Robe of Darkness) has become a Yorukage robe and Kage hat of Yorugakure, representing your status as Lord of the Night.
The (Ring of Concealment) has become a seal mark. It's incapable of leaving your body unless you choose otherwise.
(Blood Potion) has become a bottle of blood pill. Each pill can control your craving for blood for a day. Current amount (7/7).]
~Ding~
[Error!! It's been determined that no such force exists. The system suggests the Host create a village in the Land of Shadows, becoming the Yorukage. Reward: Random Spell draw, lvl 5]
Looking at the suggestion of the system, Akira thought it was interesting. He already decided to leave the Forest of Death, so having a mission to work towards is not bad.
"I accept the mission."
~Ding~
[Host accepts items or uses them to open pocket dimension?]
"Give me the items." As he spoke, a pitch black cloak with a golden letter embroidered on the back, which reads, 'Yorukage'.
Putting the cloak on, it covered his entire skin except for his head. From afar, he looks like a ball of darkness, with a human head.
The Kage hat was black as well, with golden embroidered at the front, of a golden bat with crimson eyes.
Putting the hat on, Akira looks dignified and mysterious. Anyone who saw him would automatically think he was powerful.
Looking at himself in a bowl of water, Akira smirks at how handsome he is. He also noticed his crimson eyes for the first time.
"Now, it's time to go." Akira merged into the shadows and rapidly left the area before appearing at the edge of the Forest of Death in less than 2 minutes.
Akira thought secretly, 'The range of [(Shadow Movement)] has increased. The (Robe of Darkness) is powerful indeed.'
[Summons: Lord Akira, other than some powerful chakra beasts, nothing suspicious has been found.]
[Akira: Okay, return and maintain 360 security around me.]
[Summons: Yes, Lord Akira.]
