The Vampire of the Abyss (Arifureta Fanfiction) Shizuku X Hajime X Harem

Ch 1: The White Bat

---This Chapter is written by Void-King---

Shizuku runs and runs into this endless darkness, but it seems that she is getting nowhere. What worries her the most is that the place she is in right now doesn't have any monsters.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Shizuku said while running.

Unknown to her, a pair of red glowing eyes were looking at her as if she were its prey. It was stalking the young girl, waiting for her to tire out from running.

Shizuku keeps running and running into this darkness that seems endless until she Heared a sound that echoes within the room, accompanied by the eerie flutter of wings. A gigantic white bat, its eyes burning a malevolent crimson, descends from the cave's ceiling.

Seeing the Giant Bat Shizuku draws her artifacts, ready to confront the menacing creature that descended from the shadows of the cave's ceiling.

'What is this creature?' She thought. Shizuku's heart raced, and her body started to tremble, her breath visible in the cold, damp air. The tension in the room was palpable as the two beings locked eyes.

Silence echoes through the room, and Shizuku is the first to strike. She lunges herself at the colossal bat.

Even though she is scared, she needs to finish this enemy that stands in front of her. Every second spent here could lessen Hajime's chance of survival.

Shizuku swings her sword towards the giant bat, her sword slicing through the air. The bat reacts with surprising speed, dodging her initial strike and retaliating with a flurry of razor-sharp wing attacks. Shizuku parries and dodges with remarkable agility, her sword dancing like an extension of her very being.

This is no surprise since Shizuku is someone who comes from a family filled with warriors, and Shizuku has superior speed, even faster than that of the Hero Kouki. And Most of her skills specialize in hit-and-run tactics.

Their battle rages on, echoing through the cave as they clash, a ballet of skill and ferocity. Shizuku's white-knuckled grip on her sword never wavers as she fights valiantly to defend herself against the relentless creature. Sweat and blood that comes from her injury glisten on her brow, and her breath quickens with each passing moment.

Then, in a moment of perilous misstep that she made, the gigantic bat lunges forward.

'No... I can't dodge this,' Shizuku thinks as she readies herself to receive a blow from the Wings of the bat. But instead, the bat sinks its fangs deep into Shizuku's neck.

Shizuku was Suprise on what the bad did but a moment later, Pain started to sears through her body as she gasps in agony, feeling her very essence being drained away. Time seems to slow as she realizes the dire consequences of this bite.

As the bat retracts, leaving Shizuku trembling and weakened, for an unknown reason, the bat moves away from her as if it has lost interest in Shizuku.

Meanwhile, a transformation begins to take hold of Shizuku's body. Her once raven-black hair turns as white that is whiter than the snow, and her eyes, now reflecting the same sinister crimson as the bat's, bear the mark of her newfound affliction. Two tiny fangs have taken root in her mouth, forever marking her as a half-vampire.

Shizuku's breaths now come in shallow, measured puffs as she struggles to come to terms with her altered existence. The darkness of the room is the last thing she sees before she loses consciousness.

Meanwhile, Hajime has faced a giant white bear that has cut his arms and eaten them due to the fear of dying. Hajime digs a hole using his transmute skills until he loses consciousness due to exhaustion from using transmute over and over.
