Chapter 1: Prologue

What It's Like Being a Vampire

Prologue

"What’s it like to become a vampire?”

When Xiang Kun first came across this question on Zhihu, he didn’t take it seriously. After all, most of the highly upvoted answers were either stories obviously made up on a whim, featuring vampires as either wealthy, handsome heirs or brooding, deeply romantic old playboys – essentially, romance novels.

The few who did seriously delve into the origins of vampire legends and potential medical explanations were few and far between, mostly overshadowed. Clearly, most people didn’t think this question needed to be taken seriously.

The one who posted this question probably did so with a rather tongue-in-cheek attitude.

For Kun, it was like reading a novel. After casually reading a few answers, he switched to other topics.

Little did he know that before long, he would be more than qualified to answer this question himself.
