Date- –/–/ 2320

Time- –/–

Location- Sky Blossom City, outskirts

For Bloodette from the moment her memory began, she only remembers the barren dungeon in which she is sealed. For her, this place was her home even though it imprisoned and isolated her from the real world outside. Bloodette does not know why she is sealed in this dungeon but for her, this is the place where she was born and raised by the world and its rules.

Bloodette has this special and deep connection with the World where she is nurtured and nourished by the world rule ‘blood’. Day by day despite doing nothing her strength increases at a steady yet slow pace. It almost took decades for her strength to reach her current level. According to the world rule ‘Blood’ once her strength reaches Supreme rank then she can break free of the dungeon seal and return to the outside world.

Bloodette constantly asked her friend the world rule ‘blood’ why she cannot break free of the dungeon seal now, she always received the same answer that the outside world is not safe for her. Her friend made it sound like the dungeon seal did not imprison her but protected her from the dangers of the outside world.

Reborn Bloodette was like a newborn with a completely blank slate for a memory. She was like a fresh piece of mold that could be shaped into any form. Under the protection of the dungeon seal and the guidance of the world rule ‘blood,’ she grew up as a willful naive greenhouse flower with high curiosity for the world outside of her prison.

Growing up Bloodette spent most of her time at the dungeon entrance gazing at the world outside with a longing gaze. She would look at the humans that would pass by her dungeon and try to communicate with them but it seemed as if they could not listen to her voice and would pass by the dungeon. It was as if they did not notice the existence of the dungeon.

Until one day, a young girl in her mid-teenage covered in bruises and wounds ran into the dungeon entrance to hide from her pursuers.

” fook, where did that little bitch go?”

“Come on, let’s go. We already have enough girls for today’s consignment. We can get that girl for the next one. You know boss does not like delays in shipment.”

“That girl is different. I think She has contracted a grimoire and can be sold for a higher price. But you are right, we can not delay any longer, we will get her next time.”

Unlike other humans who did not even notice the existence of the dungeon right in front of them, the girl not only noticed the dungeon but she entered it without any problem. Seeing her pursuers leave the girl hiding in the dungeon entrance sighed in relief before fainting in exhaustion.

Bloodette who always wished to go to the outside world was shy and scared at her first encounter with the humans. Being a loner for her entire life Bloodette did not know how to socialize and her friend the world rule ‘blood’ was no good at it either. According to it, she could drink the blood of the human in front of her to increase her strength at a faster pace. Bloodette ignored the instructions of the world rule ‘blood’. And also did not disturb the unconscious girl instead she healed her wounds and watched over the girl from afar. As she continued to gather the courage to make contact with the girl.

The unconscious girl soon regained consciousness and left the dungeon before Bloodette could gain the courage to reach out to the girl. Thankfully it was not the last time she will be seeing the girl. As the girl had found the uniqueness of the dungeon that it was only visible to her and it could heal her wounds started to use the dungeon as her secret base to hide from her pursuers, heal her wounds and store her day-to-day haul.

Eventually, a year passed and both the girl and bloodette had grown a lot since then. The girl had grown stronger; she would no longer have bruises and wounds on her as she returned to the dungeon. As for Bloodette treating the injuries of the girl in secret for a year she had become a high-level medic. This weird arrangement continued between the girl and the bloodette until one day the girl yelled inside the dungeon

“Hello, is anybody there? Thank you for healing my wounds and taking care of me.

I wanted to pretend like usual but today is the last day I will be coming to this place as soon I will leave with my mother. Thank you for everything”. She had noticed Bloodette’s presence but chose to pretend as if she did not. Having said her words the girl walked towards the exit.

“Little girl… Please don’t leave.” Hearing that the girl will not be coming back again Bloodette panicked and in a panic, she forgot her shyness and called out to the girl.

” Hi, my name is Cortney. What is yours?” Cortney was not afraid to hear a voice from within the dungeon and Instead introduced herself to the voice.

“… I am Bloodette” answered Bloodette as she showed her humanoid physique made of blood to the girl.

” Wow, your entire body is red in color. How cool is that?” Cortney was not scared seeing a humanoid creature made of blood, having gained her origin card recently, she had a new understanding of monsters.

“Really… are you going to leave?” Bloodette was happy to see the girl was not afraid of her appearance. To interact with the little girl, she had taken the humanoid form. It seemed to have worked in her favor. Bloodette was enthusiastic knowing that the little girl did not fear her appearance but the enthusiasm did not last long thinking that the girl will be leaving soon.

“No, I lied to get you to talk to me.” Cortney said with a smile

“Sorry, lied? What is it?” Bloodette asked with a puzzled face. Lied, was a new word to Bloodette she did not understand what it meant
