"Agh, it's so cold..."
'Is this death?'
'It must be. I was once told that death could be deathly cold...'
'But... hell is supposed to be hot... Why is it cold?'
'If I don't go to hell, how could I find those bastards?'
A swirl of thoughts engulfed Matt's mind as they pounded him back and forth.
He had died; he was sure of it. Maybe that's why he hadn't opened his eyes; he was afraid to et what lay on the other side of death.
Still, the fact that he hadn't forgotten those bastards who murdered him brought a smile to his face. It wasn't a smile that anyone would like to see; it was a demonic smile.
For he was convinced that he would soon find and torture those traitorous bastards.
Still, soon, a swirl of different thoughts ca into his body, mixed with a strange pain deep inside.
"I'm in pain... My bones..."
"Agh, shit, it's like I'm freezing..."
His mouth soon filled with complaints about the place where he had arrived after dying, so he opened his eyes.
Then he was stunned.
A beautiful icy world greeted his eyes and a few snowflakes flew into his eyes when he opened them.
The snowstorm lashing the surrounding area also threatened to freeze him.
That stunned him, and he looked to his right.
'Ice?' Then he turned to his left and saw only ice.
There were massive ice columns in this place, but there was also a big icy forest that looked a bit scary because of the darkness that enveloped this place.
Matt was stunned, but then he looked down at himself.
'Didn't I die? Did I co to fall to the North Pole after exploding my body?' Was the first thought that ca to his mind after realizing he still had a body.
Still, he was stunned when he thought this and rembered his first thought.
'Cold? I, the Ice Assassin, felt cold?'
In fact, he was still feeling a terrifying cold that seed to implant itself in his bones.
It left him stunned, unable to comprehend what was happening.
So, he tried to look up in shock again, but suddenly, a whirlwind of strange mories hit his mind.
For a brief mont, he felt as if countless ice pangs were stabbing his brain, and he gritted his teeth to resist the pain.
His mind was stunned after realizing what kind of mories he was having.
'This is... I reincarnated?' A fleeting thought crossed his mind, but suddenly, a strange sound brought him out of his mories.
"Grr..."
The sound was barely audible in this massive icy storm that wanted to freeze him to death, but it was so strange and out of place that Matt looked up, confused.
"Grrr!"
"..."
Two faces looked at each other at that mont in this icy darkness.
One of the faces had black hair and red eyes. The other was the face of a vast beast showing its teeth, demonstrating its deep intentions of wanting to eat the human-looking man alive.
It was so close that it caused Matt to back away quickly from the strong impact.
Then, he realized that this guy wasn't the only one here.
He looked up to see another huge wolf face staring at him with the intention to eat him.
'I'm dead!' he thought.
Never in his life had he seen wolves as big as these, and these looked so hungry that if he managed to escape, it was a divine miracle.
Still, Matt didn't want to die being torn to pieces by a few wolves.
So, as best he could, he got up and quickly jumped out of there. He didn't even want to look back; he imdiately started running toward the forest.
"AUUUUUUU!" At that mont, a great wolf howl sounded from the vicinity, and Matt jumped forward out of instinct.
Then a huge explosion rose where it had been, as a wolf, even bigger than the previous ones, fell there.
That increased Matt's determination to get away from here as much as possible.
But a wave of pain hit his mind again as other strange mories ca to him.
This wave of mories constantly ca to his mind, and it felt like they were attacking him.
So, Matt had to grit his teeth and run through the icy forest there.
anwhile, the pain in his mind was increasing, but the pain in his bones was also significant.
'Aghh, shit. It's so painful.'
Still, he clung tightly to his consciousness and didn't even understand why.
Right now, he didn't want to understand it either because the pain in his mind was unbearable.
He just wanted to keep his mories intact.
He was the Ice Assassin, a high-level Earth hunter who died at the treacherous hands of those he once called friends and whom he once saved.
His wife had died in his arms, and that was one more pain that haunted him.
But painful though it was, he could not forget it.
He didn't understand what had happened to him, and he didn't even know where he was, but if he could get the slightest chance to return for those bastards, he would use it. The sa was true for the slightest opportunity in his mind to see his wife again.
But now strange mories, and of a person who was not him, threatened to supplant those mories. That filled him with determination to control those incoming mories.
While the sound of the beasts behind him trying to eat him filled him with the determination to run.
If he stopped for a brief mont, he was dead. So, he ran without ceasing.
Although his body ached, and his bones creaked from the pain, he forced himself to run with steadfastness and determination.
Yet suddenly, he was disturbed by sothing and stopped instantly. His body skidded across the ice, but he managed to stop.
Then he stood firmly on a strange, slippery ice, which could reflect light.
This massive semi-transparent ice looked like a giant mirror that reflected him there.
'Is it ?'
His mind was filled with confusion. He was still processing that he seed to have been reincarnated, but now he saw that it was his appearance from when he was 20 years old.
Had he been reincarnated into a body identical to him?
The only difference he found was that pair of beautiful red eyes. They looked nacing, even more so if you mixed it with the slightly large fangs that were revealed on his lips, giving him a sinister and strange appearance.
Still, the mories and his current appearance gave him an answer.
'I've been reincarnated as a vampire...' It was the most fleeting thought that crossed his mind at that instant.
His new and strange appearance had made him forget that huge and powerful wolves were chasing him, but the roar of one of them in his ear woke him up.
'Right, I have to run away.' He thought and tried to run once more, ignoring everything he had seen. This was not the ti to think nonsense.
But suddenly, he felt considerable stabs in his back as if they wanted to tear him to the bone.
His body shot forward with force while the wolves skidded across the huge chunk of foreign ice on the ground. Matt could see this because he was flipped over and looked at the ground when he was hit.
Suddenly, he saw the wolves reveal their nails and dig them hard into the ice.
*TRHKKKKK*
The sound of the ice squeaking echoed loudly over his ear, and he saw that all the wolves managed to stop just before they fell to a massive cliff while he was still in the air...
'Cliff?' His mind and vision filled with a massive cliff below him.
'I'm dead...' It was the last thought that crossed his mind before his body began to fall as the force of gravity pulled him down.
...
"Charlotte!" Matt stood up abruptly as he reached up, trying to grab the beautiful hand before him.
His heart pounded, fearing losing her again, but his hand reached for nothing.
That left him stunned.
His red eyes began to co to their senses while the cloudiness in his mind dissipated.
As it dissipated, he looked to his sides doubtfully.
He was on a huge pink bed with an exquisite fragrance while a giant lamp hovered and illuminated the slightly dark room.
To his right and left were a few pieces of furniture and work writers, which matched the color of the bed very well.
'A woman's room?' As he realized this, his mories surged back into his mind.
'The last thing I rember is when I was falling down that cliff... Did I die?' His mind was confused, but after checking his body, he noticed it was the sa one he had seen on that ice reflecting the light.
'I didn't die...'
'Why is it that every ti I experience death, I wake up in a different place and with a trendous contrast from the previous one?'
As his mind wandered through mories and he tried to think about what had happened, a strange sound caught his attention.
He imdiately looked there and saw the door to the room open. A wonderful, red-eyed young woman with long white hair appeared before him.
She was stunned after seeing him awake, and a cute, innocent smile ford.
"You're awake!" A refreshingly soft voice filled the room.
Matt was stunned and stared at her.
She had red eyes and white hair, was a little tall, and had a tender and beautiful face. Her slightly visible fangs made her beauty ethereal.
Matt guessed she had rescued him.
"This... Did you rescue ? Where am I?" Matt asked.
The lady in the doorway smiled and walked toward him with slight glee.
"You were badly hurt when I found you in that place, so I brought you to my house. I'm glad to see you've recovered. Right now, we're in Allen's Vampire City, and I'm Alice Allen. What's your na?" Her smile was genuine as she sat down next to him.
Matt nodded slightly towards her.
But the confusion in his mind prevented him from answering quickly.
'Allen's Vampire City?' I've never heard a na like that before... Could we be in the demon territories?' he thought.
But not to keep her waiting too long, he answered her question. "Nice to et you, Miss Alice. My na is Matt; thank you for saving ."
Alice smiled and nodded at him.
"Here, Matt. It's dicine. It will help you a lot." She said, also passing him water.
Matt was a little hesitant but still swallowed it without blinking so as not to arouse suspicion.
It was a red pill of dubious provenance, but it tasted delicious.
'Is it blood? It tastes great, though...'
With his palate satisfied, Matt looked at her again.
"Miss Alice, are we in Demon Territory?" He asked.
But Alice frowned and cocked her head in confusion. "Demon Territory? What's that?" she asked, making Matt feel his heart skip a beat.
On Earth, the Demons gave that na to the territory they controlled, and vampires could only be found there.
That left him confused.
And he didn't think this lady was uninford because she could talk.
Among demons, those who could talk were high-level people, so she was not uninford.
The uninford one was him.
She saw him confused and spoke to give him more information.
"We are in the Dark Kingdom, within the Territory of the Five Kingdoms and the Seven Vampire Clans. I don't know where that place you say is, but maybe my father can find out. If you want, I will ask my father when he cos back." She spoke.
But she didn't expect her answer to confuse Matt even more.
'Five Kingdoms territory? And since when are there Seven Vampire Clans?' Confusion reigned in his mind, but a vague and fleeting thought suddenly crossed his mind.
That thought made him calm down on the outside, although he was in trendous chaos inside.
Thus, he looked at Alice Allen.
"Miss, I have no mory of this place. Could you show around town? Maybe I can rember sothing, and I would also like to visit a place with books." Matt's question was normal and calm, but Alice noticed sothing and looked at him.
"Could it be that you have amnesia?" she asked.
Matt frowned slightly, but in fact, he had no mory of this place. There were mories in his head that made him have a crazy idea, but no mories of the five kingdoms.
Therefore, he could be considered to have amnesia.
That's why he nodded, revealing a confused look.
"It's possible. I don't rember a lot of things." His face looked slightly pitiful, and he lowered his head to look even more miserable.
Not knowing it would touch a soft spot in Alice, who stood up imdiately.
"Well, co with . I have to go check on so things in town, so I'll give you a ride. Co on, I'm sure you'll be able to rember several things." She quickly replied with a smile.
Perhaps she was trying to cheer him up.
Still, with her in agreent, both left the mansion shortly after that.
The strange possibility in Matt's mind, though far-fetched, was not impossible.
So, as soon as he arrived in the city, he first looked up at the sky.
Disbelief reigned on his face as his mind rumbled with a thought.
'Shit... This isn't earth, where am I?' he thought in shock.
Three giant moons of different colors and sizes perched before him.
