My World Traveling System: The Harbinger of Death

-----

The Vampire World of Abyss, a world where only darkness and blood reigned supreme. It was not always like this. The world of Abyss once held another name, Radiant. It was a world reigned by light where there was not an eternal night. A world governed by humans, created by the love of the Sun God and the Moon Goddess… However, the Moon Goddess and the Sun God were complete opposites.

One favored the light and the other the darkness, although their love seemed to cross the boundaries of their differences, these differences remained and always tickled the other a bit, especially because while the God of the Sun created nature, plants, animals, and humans, elves, and other races that enjoyed the light of the sun, the Goddess of the Moon created races that enjoyed the darkness of the night, bats, bugs, all sorts of critters, vermin, rats, monsters, demons, beasts, vampires… and more.

These two Gods had filled the world with a lot of life but also a lot of dangers. The God of the Sun opposed what the Goddess of the Moon had created, and despite their love, he betrayed her and made his creations abhor her own creations, teaching humanity to slay the demons and monsters she created. Over eons, this conflict turned into the natural order of the world, as monsters terrorized humanity while humanity fought back against them.

The goddess of the moon grew sorrowful as she saw her former beloved husband wanting to slaughter all her creations, feeling alone as he grew more and more selfish and arrogant over the praises of his own creations, creating dozens of demigods out of them to hold him high in a pedestal. Meanwhile, the goddess of the moon hid in the other side of the world, only emerging in the night when the sun god couldn't see her.

She always felt alone, until one day, she noticed a young man. It was a Vampire boy. Since the creation of this race, that only the Progenitor had been born into a Vampire, but this boy was mysterious born as one. The love that his mother had with her deceased husband was so strong that by only spending a night together months ago before his passing, she ended pregnant, a miracle amongst the Vampires, who had a very low chance to become pregnant.

"Who could this child be?"

It was a child who was barely 9 years of age, alone, and covered in blood. His pale skin was as white as porcelain, his bright red eyes as strong red as blood itself, his silvery-white hair was spiky and looked nasty. His clothes, which were mere rags, were all covered in blood. The goddess looked back and tracked his house, only to find it burned, there was a corpse inside, completely burnt to a crisp.

And outside that house, there were several corpses of people who had their throats cut down and their heads detached, all humans. The Goddess realized that the humans had tracked the Vampiress who was his mother… and burned her alive alongside her home while the boy was out.

When he came back, he only found soldiers laughing as he heard the screams of agony of his mother being burned to death. In a fit of fury, he slaughtered them all, awakening his vampiric powers. But it was too late when he gained his consciousness, the entire house was already burned, and his mother… long dead.

The child looked into the horizon above a cliff, expressionless, his face looked dry. He had already cried all the tears he had and felt empty inside.

The boy looked down into the long fall from the cliff, wondering if this would kill him. At such a young age, he was already thinking that there was nothing else in life now… death was perhaps the only option.

"Mother…"

The Moon Goddess felt so heartbroken by his story that she couldn't help but stop him. She whispered into his ears, telling him to stop. That suicide wasn't the option, and that he had to keep living for his mother.

"Please… don't kill yourself. There is more to life, you must live because that's what your mother must have wanted…"

"Ah… W-Who are you? Who is speaking into my head?!"

"I am… the goddess of the moon. My child… I cannot let you die."

"Eh? You let my mother died… why would I believe you?! Everyone say that the Goddess of the Moon doesn't protect her creations… That she's just a coward! You let the Sun God and his people slaughter all of us… My mother was… the last of her family…"

"Y-You're… don't tell me you're the last Vampire?!"

"…"

"I can't… believe this… I have been slumbering for many years, hoping for things to get better for my creations… I've only been giving the Sun God a playground to do as he pleases… I cannot… allow this to continue…"

"Y-You're actually reconsidering what you've done?"

"Yes… I don't want this to continue as it is… If I keep like this, all my children will die… I feel ashamed… Please, lend me your strength!"

"What? I am merely a child… What can I even do on my own?"

"You're strong… the bloodline of the Vampires, the last bloodline rushes through your veins, my child… You're capable of turning more into Vampires, so your race might one day be revived… I shall grant you my blessings and part of my power and soul… Use them to grow stronger in this harsh world, and fight, fight as much as you can to survive and protect your siblings, all the children I have created…"

"…"

"Would you do this for me?"

"…Alright."

And since that moment, a pact between the last Vampire and the incompetent and cowardly Moon Goddess was made, as the boy received the powers of the goddess of the moon and decided to avenge his mother and protect the creations of the Moon Goddess… ultimately, he would one day shroud the world in eternal darkness.
