Vampire Core: Reborn as the Hot Evil Vampire Lord, But I’m Socially Awkward!: Volume 2
[That time I was reborn as the evil and hot Vampire Lord and had to seduce the heroic adventurers who are invading my dark castle in order to save myself because my other new magical powers suck, but I’m actually very socially awkward!] [VOLUME 2]
Inkume, once the world’s most introverted shut‑in, is now the “terrifying” Vampire Lord every adventurer wants to slay, and unfortunately, the only weapon he has is the supernatural charm he never asked for.
After surviving the first wave of paladins, priestesses, and determined heroines, the Holy Church has doubled down. Raids are tougher, rumors wilder, and Inkume’s dungeon castle is one unlucky crit roll away from collapse. Worse, each new “vampire core ability” he unlocks is more ridiculous than the last, forcing him to rely even harder on the one power he barely seducing his enemies before they stab him.
To endure the crusade, Inkume must turn invading heroes into allies, minions, or… something in between. Shy witches, fierce knights, hungry monster girls, every encounter is another chance to build his forces or embarrass himself horribly. Meanwhile, the dungeon hides secrets of its own, and Inkume’s evolving powers may be far more dangerous than he realizes.
Can an awkward man pretending to be a seductive villain really charm his way through a holy crusade, expand his dark kingdom, and survive his own absurd abilities?
