"Once upon a time...
In the land of the East...
People are obsessed with cultivating immortals and cannot extricate themselves..."
"Speak nicely!" Qu Lingyuan rolled her eyes and stood on the beach with her hands on her hips, her long black hair flying in the sea breeze.
After leaving the previous world, she could finally roll her eyes freely without worrying about making others bald.
Yi Ling felt wronged: "Okay."
He was telling Qu Lingyuan about the characters in this world.
This is a world set in Western magic, but Qu Lingyuan is an immortal cultivator from the East who accidentally breaks through the barrier between the East and West in the vast ocean and gloriously becomes the first "stowaway".
Qu Lingyuan found it difficult to accept this background. Although this was the West, the appearance and language of the people were no different from those in the East.
It's just the difference between practicing Taoism in the East and practicing magic in the West.
"Western magic is divided into white magic, black magic, and necromancy. Necromancy is a branch of black magic, which also includes necromancers and vampires. Please note that black magic and necromancy do not represent evil... Take good notes, there will be a test later."
Seeing that Qu Lingyuan was lost in thought, Yi Ling immediately tapped her head with the light screen in his hand.
"I'm not a cultivator, so how can I learn magic?" Qu Lingyuan said with a bitter face.
Why is her character so unique? A cultivator is an outlier in the magical world. If caught, they will be burned to death!
Yi Ling tilted his head and said as a matter of course, "Why not? Newborn babies in the West are also ordinary people. You are an ordinary person now."
He really doesn't understand the human thought process. Why do humans have the idea that if they do one thing, they can't do another?
"Oh." Qu Lingyuan nodded indifferently.
"No, you're not an ordinary person." Yi Ling suddenly thought of something and added, "You're just an eighteen-year-old who hasn't learned any magic yet...a waste."
“…” Qu Lingyuan wanted to bang her head against the wall. She suspected that she was a Muggle.
The family structure of this world is relatively complex. Although the West does not have individual countries like the East, there are many large families here. They have a huge system with deep roots and complex network of relationships, and they control everything in the outside world openly and secretly.
These big families have their own joint organizations to protect their common interests and maintain social order.
White magicians, black magicians, and necromancers are all options that ordinary humans can choose when attending magic school. Like university majors, they are not good or bad, they are just a classification.
Vampires are born vampires and do not belong to humans, but they live in the same society as humans. Even the greatest nobleman in the West is a vampire.
They would not harm people randomly on the street, and their food usually came from slaves kept in the family.
The useless teenagers in some small families who cannot learn magic are usually sent to the slave market to be sold. Only those whose blood tastes good are lucky enough to be taken away by vampires and raised as food.
Others, if they are lucky, will do hard labor, while if they are unlucky and beautiful, they will become playthings of the nobles.
"Wait, a loser who can't even learn magic in his teens, isn't that me???" Qu Lingyuan's hair stood on end as she shivered with fear.
Yi Ling smiled again. "You don't have to worry. In this world, you are an orphan. You don't belong to any family. No one would just pick someone up from the street and sell them in the market. Buyers would also need health certificates and ID proof."
"I always feel like you are scolding me..." Qu Lingyuan looked at him suspiciously.
The hero of this world is called Troy, the young master of the most powerful noble family in the West, and a vampire.
The original heroine was called Irene. She was a white magician from a poor family but had excellent grades in magic.
The two met in a very clichéd way. Because of her excellent academic performance, Irene was exempted from tuition and entered an aristocratic school. This school was founded by Troy's family, so Troy also went to school here.
Troy is a rare genius. He no longer needs school teaching. However, his mother insists that he experience school life completely and requires him to stay here until graduation before continuing to live there.
He and Irene are in the same grade. When Irene entered the magic forest for a test, she encountered an accident and ran into a powerful monster that should not have appeared in the periphery. At the critical moment, she was rescued by the powerful Troy.
From then on, Irene had a crush on Troy, but Troy's family background, ability, and appearance all surrounded him like a halo, making the inferior Irene dare not approach him, and she could only hide in the distance and watch him silently.
Troy hadn't noticed Irene yet, but Ona noticed Irene first.
Ona is a young lady from another vampire family, and she has also had a crush on Troy for a long time.
Women are always sensitive to their love rivals. Ona is narrow-minded and conceited. She feels from the bottom of her heart that Irene is not worthy of Troy's love, but she has no intention of killing Irene at the beginning.
One day, Irene fell on the stairs after school and was pulled up by Troy, who was also passing by after school, and Ona saw it.
Ona knew Troy; he didn't like physical contact with women.
So Ona got anxious.
She observed Irene for several days until one day she heard Irene's best friend say, "Master Troy doesn't like physical contact with women. He must feel differently about you. Why don't you confess your feelings to him?"
Irene nodded with a blushing face and said that she would prepare herself mentally and confess her feelings in a few days.
After hearing this conversation, Ona left with her fists clenched.
There was a book about forbidden black magic in her home, locked in the top floor of the library. When she was a child, she was playful and stole the key to open it. She saw some things about forbidden magic, including a black magic skill called magic snatching.
Demon Stealer can forcibly deprive others of their magical abilities and add them to yourself. Any magic can be taken away. Using it once will consume a lot of energy and it will take a long time to recover.
Oona didn't care about anything else. She secretly learned the forbidden black magic, took away Irene's magic power, turned Irene into an ordinary person, a waste, and then kidnapped her to the slave market.
Irene was beautiful and was bought by a young master of a wealthy family, becoming the most miserable slave.
The young master had a special fetish. He liked to abuse people and saw beautiful girls covered in blood and with scars on their fair skin.
Not long after, Irene died in an iron cage painted black, with chains around her neck and ankles, and her body covered with scars. Her death was miserable.
After the original heroine died and the hero lost his destined partner, he became a couple with Ona according to his family's arrangement.
——
"Should I give Ona some magic to deal with her demon-stealing ability?" Qu Lingyuan felt hopeless again.
"It's okay actually, because you have no magic power now, so her magic stealing will not work on you. What's more, Ona no longer has the energy to use magic stealing a second time in the short term." Yi Ling said.
