Vampires.
They considered themselves noble and elegant, carefully considering reproduction, so their numbers were very few.
No matter how threatening each individual might be, as long as they couldn’t exert widespread influence, their treatnt couldn’t surpass that of heinous criminals causing social unrest.
Even Jeong Seo-yul, chosen as a hero after coming to this world, initially thought so.
She continued to achieve results and eventually had the opportunity to receive direct support from the imperial family.
“So, are you Jeong Seo-yul, one of the most outstanding heroes in the empire?”
But when the situation ca to confronting the leaders, the truth was shocking.
The leaders, who had previously sat on the throne looking down at the crowd and their vassals, were now bowing their heads to a single vampire lying in bed.
“A vampire, why would the royal family…?”
“Hehe, there’s no need to be so hostile. Although humans are nothing more than livestock to us, we acknowledge that treasures can sotis erge even among livestock.”
Livestock? Did even the royal family appear as such to that arrogant monster?
No, from when had they been bowing their heads to vampires in the first place?
Since the ti they had summoned heroes? Or even before that?
Was humanity in this world always under the reign of vampires?
“And to excavate such treasures, even we who are confined must play a role.”
Although she felt herself losing composure at this revelation, the vampire continued speaking without caring about her reaction.
While trampling on the heads of the royals, who had lost their minds under his hypnotism, and ordering them to lick his feet as if they were truly livestock.
“What do you want from …?”
The sight made Jeong Seo-yul lose even the minimum resistance she had left.
Serving the corrupt nobles steeped in decadence and luxury, pretending to mingle with idiots playing heroes, all to catch the eye of the royals and increase her social status.
To find out that the truth of the world she struggled in was like this—it was no wonder her enthusiasm waned.
“Didn’t I tell you? Special treasures sotis co from livestock.”
But what was evident in the eyes watching her was curiosity.
“And you are one of those treasures found among our livestock… a gem worthy of being shaped only when it stands out in my eyes.”
“A gem? Am I not just another human you disdain? What makes you evaluate like this?”
“Didn’t you strive for growth instead of being satisfied with your current position? anwhile, the other heroes were only eager to accept the excessive treatnt given to them, like livestock getting fat on the feed provided in their pen.”
In his eyes, even the heroes endowed with special powers were no different from such livestock.
Upon hearing the vampire’s comparison, the first thing that ca to Jeong Seo-yul’s mind was the vile behavior shown by those called heroes in this world.
“Did the heroes all turn into such beings because of your doing?”
In reality, the royal family was allowing corrupt rulers and reckless heroes to act without restraint.
“What are you trying to achieve by ruining humanity in this world like this?”
“I suppose you could call it ‘weeding out’ for the era to co.”
The vampire responded nonchalantly to Jeong Seo-yul’s question about his intentions.
“Weeding out?”
“Jeong Seo-yul, do you really think that all people deserve respect just because they are the sa species as you? Can you accept that you, who have continued to strive and grow, unable to be satisfied with rely being praised and fed, are on the sa level as those who have beco corrupt pigs through neglect?”
“…”
“Yes, you must feel it too. This world is full of inferior people occupying positions they don’t deserve.”
She had thought about it to so extent even in her original world.
She just hadn’t expressed it outwardly.
The ideology that those who are not excellent or suffer from disabilities should be eliminated, called ‘eugenics,’ is never welcod in modern tis.
“In a world gradually crumbling, resources will be limited, and only a few will be able to grasp them. Even so, we hold up heroes as idols and say that those of higher status must sacrifice for the foundation of others. Isn’t that a terrible waste?”
And this logic was precisely why the vampires had secretly created the current society from behind the scenes.
They dream of creating a ‘utopia for the chosen ones’ by discovering individuals suitable in their eyes from the vast livestock of human society.
“Now, Jeong Seo-yul. Drink. You have the right to beco one of us.”
She t the criteria to enter that utopia.
As she faced the wine glass filled with blood that was presented to her, Jeong Seo-yul swallowed and asked seriously.
