The Bored Immortal

His eyes were vivid crimson in color, similar to Eli's, and his skin was as pale as hers but perfect and smooth like marble.

His hair also grew longer till it reached his neck, with some of it falling over his forehead and looked thicker and silkier. In fact, he unconsciously touched his hair, feeling that he had never expected hair could feel so soft and smooth to the touch.

Before, his hair was thin and short. In fact, it was worsening, including his health, as the years passed because of his body's condition.

But now, as he looked at his body, every single part of his body was rippling with muscles and even ten-pack abs. He touched and pressed them with his own fingers to see if he was dreaming all of this or not.

His arms looked big, and his sculpted chest was wide, with his body having a large frame.

"I-Is this...really me? What...happened...how…" Azu mumbled as he continued to stare at the mirror with a bewildered look.

He saw that his pants were now torn and tightly wrapped around his thighs. He guessed that it was because his height increased, and as his legs grew, his pants weren't long enough based on his old height.

Erina smiled, not expecting such an astonishing change to happen, and still couldn't believe how this became a success when originally she thought he was done for because of how his body was made.

She only wanted to make Eli feel less regret by letting her try everything.

"You have to thank these two for your present condition. They turned you," Erina said as she placed her hands on Eli and Tara's shoulder.

"Turned me?" Viktor was surprised as he turned towards them and asked.

Tara's expression became a bit flustered since she never thought she would be giving away her vital essence to Azu...especially this soon. It was something she could only do once in her entire lifetime.

Eli had a stiff expression since, just like Tara, she was inwardly embarrassed about giving away her Origin blood to Azu. She didn't think much in the heat of the moment, and only now did she realize the consequences of what she did though she didn't feel a tinge of regret.

"These two sacrificed a lot by—-"

"Grandmother, no!"

"Grandma!"

The two girls shouted at the same time, making Erina swallow her words with an amused smile while Azu had a confused look, wondering what was going on.

"What I wanted to say was that these two helped you awaken your bloodlines, both of your father and mother's that were lying dormant in your body. So to be exact, they didn't turn you but awakened your inner potential. What you are now is what you should have supposed to have been had your bloodlines not rejected each other. But as our races have been fighting each other against each other since times immemorial, our bloodline's nature became the same as well...to reject and fight each other. Only your human side was keeping you alive these years, but still, you would have died before you turned twenty since your body was suffering too much from your bloodlines rejecting each other. I am sure you already knew this."

Azu slowly nodded since he had already heard from different physicians about how his health was continuously deteriorating, making him weaker as years passed and that he wouldn't live beyond twenty.

Everyone said that even his birth was a bizarre event, and he was not supposed to be born since a vampire, and a werewolf can never have a child together. It was a fact set in stone, and naturally, also, it was impossible.

It was only because his mother was half-human as well, he happened to be born even though it was also something said to have been impossible.

"But despite this, you fought till here, staying alive for so many years. Even if there were strange incidents like yours in history, they all died with various complications within just a short time after being born, or sometimes they didn't even have the chance to be born. But now you don't have to worry about that since you have been granted boundless vitality and became something more than a vampire and werewolf...something more powerful from the fusion of these two. You are the first of your kind among us," Erina said with a pleased smile.

Tara and Eli also smiled, feeling proud and happy that Azu no longer had death looming over him and he could finally live the life he deserved.

Azu felt overwhelmed with lots of emotions as he looked at the two girls, knowing that these two girls saved him and gave him a second chance…a new life.

He never felt so warm in his chest, and as he continued to look at their faces, his heart began to rapidly beat like never before, "Thank you...Eli and Tara. Without you two...I wouldn't be still alive…"

"T-There's no need for that, Azu…I have to take responsibility..."

"Yes...You are someone I care about. So it's natural that I should help you…"

The two girls suddenly felt their cheeks becoming warm under his intense gaze and looked away at the same time, much to the amusement of Erina, who inwardly sighed, thinking how nice it was to be young.

But she couldn't help but worry for these two girls because of what they did to save Au. She couldn't help but feel that a storm of trouble was coming their way and wondered what kind of a man Azu would grow up into, especially considering his immense potential.

But he remembered these two girls talking about doing something dangerous and asked worriedly, "Did you two do anything dangerous to help me? I heard you two talking about breaking into a dangerous place."

The two girls' expressions became complicated since they didn't expect Azu to be still conscious enough to hear all this while he was sick.
