Reincarnated From Vanity

Chapter 5 • Awakening | Reincarnated From Vanity

Morning dew moisten young and lush green grass.
It's compiled tears hangs only to vanish, seized by the noon of day?
This cool feeling to the touch.
Very pleasant,... indeed.

Mist of a new day invites such pale-ish indistinct realism...
The breath of the living rushes a cold shiver.
The sky,.. yet to untangle its grieving adorning.
But for now, shall the sun showeth it's face.
And renewed hoped revived?

I've awokenen,

By this tingling feeling.
My foot that felt of pins and needles.
Suspicion of morning cramps?

Following a wryly yawn as I rubbed my eyes.
Supposedly alike sleeping beauty?
In such case would I be pulling your leg now.

But it's a rather beautiful scene as well.
Tips of nature extending to proclaim vast lands.
Branches of all gave a light shade.
And leftovers of late civilization deteriorate.
Slight fog and most gentle sunlight.

The hint of that sour sweet scent following a downpour.
And the chilling air astill, it's presence all around...

Distant delight to ears of hearing.
To hear sirens of nature unfold,
The psalms of aves along daybreak!

This imminent presence of crashing waters somewhere...
Rivers that springs forth gifts of life!

There I leaned my back against the wall,
And my legs extending outwards.
The cool shade from a rustic wall,
And oftentimes a caressing of common wind.

Couldn't I be melancholic in a while?
The mirroric calm within.

Casting aside that,
This odd feeling that stick out like a sore thumb
What was that tingling sensation?

Examining around,
My body was mostly under shade, but then
My foot that's a tad left off.
Reacting as a normal being would?
I woke up fully from a sunburn as so it seems

Sunburnt of such degree?!?

But I suppose hence the stereotypical vampire applies to all worlds~

A new day and a new beginning proclaimed, as I retract my legs away from what seems harmless shine.

Unfortunately despite this gratify scenery, such was I not being to enjoy to the fullest.
Eversince had I incarnated, I had yet to satisfy my famishment.
And do just barely to dwadle most of it by dozing off.

My stomach growled in dissatisfaction.
I guess tummy is not apleased~
As I grew more weaken and cold.
Under great hunger and malnutrition.

But what's more devastating was this impending exsiccate.
This great thirst that I somehow can't quench?
No matter how much fluids had I swallowed.
This imminent and over whelming torridity inside.
Alike the scorching of flames, I'm swelling up inside.

My face and chest could be seen blush red, a sign of dehydration?
And my breathing grew ever so rough?

Ahh.. But it's really is a dilemma...
Between my sighng of awe and distress.
But I thought dying here was fine too.
At mist of this true calm and beauty.

Ah a trampling misfortune after another I digressed.

Till heard was I a rustle.
Somewhere in a distance.
Barely distinguished from the peaceful orchestra around.

A hare of a kind appeared around the corner.
As it was gazing on berries in a bush nearby.
Gradually I turn my head aside.
TttteeeeeerrrkkkK...
Damn... I can hear a terrifying creak from my neck
As if I was that old already

And the rabbit I saw that came by
It was an a particular rabbit, sure.
Unusual size for sure; for a rabbit, it was 1.5x bigger than the norm?
And insane pulsing veins, and one other thing...
It had also a crystalic like horn...

It could be described rather bizarre than adorable.
I squint my eye to see clearer.
Am I seeing right?
Sure I was, this is in a fantasy afterall.

I can't help it...
I gazed at the rabbit like an animal.
We had approximately 30 meters between us.
But already, I sensed my mouth watering.
My lips felt a sharp sensation, carnivorous fangs.
Sight became a little disoriented as if I was on hallucinogens.
This was the last straw, Desperados!
It was as if my body received what it had finnally longer for!

Food?!?!?!

I sling foward, despite my condition before.
All I could think for was blood.

Blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood blood!

It was my unconscious lust.

And before I knew it, my fangs had already sunk to the rabbit neck.
And it's body was within my grasp.
Twitch in despair was all it could do.
While it's heartbeat grew faint...

Ikitakimasu~

I too, of course was surprised,
The time flow went slurred as I accelerated even faster.
It was like instantaneous yet I felt each second slowed,
But I couldn't care less.

Persuing to the act,
my fangs sucked the poor creature causing a blood bath.
As if there was no tomorrow.
Every single ingle drop was ought not to be wasted.
Though streaks of blood were seen flowing down to my throat and chest.
Causing a few stains?
I wore only filthy rags then anyways.

It's bulky frame began to shrivel as I felt an euphoric sensation endorsing me.
This milky and sweet taste,
Washes out my former thirst.
Till it was no more, as it was like a distant dream.
The warm and fuzzy feeling inside continued to peak as the creature became nothing but skin and bones.

And till the deed was done, as it had obviously been long dead.
Eye sockets had caved in and it skin became tough.
Our condition swapped?

Arigato~

I whispered to it's withering enlongated ears.
Whilst clutching to it anear my chest.
I'm literally cuddling a corpse...

*drop SFX (knees drop)
As I rest on my knees,
As I came to my senses,

I feel rejuvenated!
I felt alive, never been more alive!
Awah~ I never thought blood could be this satisfying?
Well but, I was human then~

My strength camed back, Feels like top notch condition.
And now new senses foreign from before began to emerge.
New capabilities unfold?
I can sense it, something like a third sense?
This, this fundemental thing...
I could feel it's pressence everywhere!
In every individual strands of grass, till the old and slow moving feeling in tree trunks.
Fleeting perplexion!

<[Energy Essence Perception] acquired>

And suddenly it rang...
A young and monotonous voice showed itself.
In voice as such of a young male, bout~ on his 20s?
With a very western accent,
It rang very audibly, in my head?
Must have been a mistake?
I had look about, but only to no avail?
Is someone watching?
....

Must be just me, I'll just let trivial things slide?

Sela~
