TL/ED – Enuma ID
He came to attend the university lecture to fill his attendance, but as expected, He did not have the leeway to diligently listen to the class.
“Kim Yo-han.”
“Yes.”
Ẽn̈ ũm̀ а. і́ d
Yo-han sat in a moderately secluded seat. He raised his hand and answered during the professor’s attendance check, while thinking about the current situation.
“……….”

It was not a problem that could be solved just by thinking about it, but still, it was not like he could remain without any thoughts. Yesterday, he was scared and mentally overwhelmed, so he just threw it aside, but now he had to investigate at least something simple on his own.
He looked down at the Invisible Vampire that would be sleeping inside the grimoire in his bag.
A question arose in his mind.
It understood his words and moved according to his signals, but normal conversation was not possible. He could not tell whether it was properly under control, or what it wanted.

…Was it even really a Vampire to begin with?
Among a Vampire’s abilities, becoming invisible would naturally exist, but the guy was different from the aristocratic image of Vampires that appeared in legends.
He carefully took out the Grimoire and opened the first page to read.
[This book is a record of the Magic I learned while living as a prisoner in Damascus, as a survivor of the 9th Crusade and a seeker of sorcery.]

‘…The 9th Crusade. What year was that again?’
When he searched the internet through his smartphone, the information he wanted came up.
Е̌_ň ǔ m а̂
The 9th Crusade ended in 1272.
And the aristocratic Vampire image began to spread rapidly after 1477, following the death of Vlad III of the Principality of Wallachia, who was rumored to be a Vampire at the time.
In other words, considering the time when the book was written, the Vampire spoken of in De Vermis Mysteriis did not refer to an aristocratic Dracula, but literally to a monster that craved the blood and flesh of humans or beasts.
He also learned that there were words like Strigoi and Vârcolac that referred to such monsters, but that was not important information.
Well, as a common point, since they were weak to sunlight and active at night, it did fit the Vampire people generally thought of.
[The one who becomes the owner of the Grimoire ‘De Vermis Mysteriis’ shall obtain a Familiar comparable to the ‘Invisible Monster’ served by the mad poet Abdul Alhazred. The owner of the ‘Invisible Vampire’.]

But Abdul Alhazred? And what was this Invisible Monster?
Judging by the naming style, he seemed like an Arab.
It was sad that he couldn’t mock it as a nerdy medieval Grimoire setting
‘Help me, Google!’
When he searched the internet again, surprisingly, something familiar came up.
‘Cthulhu Mythos.’
Ẃе̄b̀ ñ о vеl Eñ u m а
Roughly speaking, a genre of dark cosmic horror where a insanely powerful space octopus appears and humans are mercilessly toyed with by terrifying Outer Gods.
He had never directly read the myths or original novels, but since it was a genre quite popular among enthusiasts, it appeared often in novels and comics, so he knew the general idea.

Abdul Alhazred. A character in the Cthulhu Mythos. A prophet of the Outer Gods and the author of Al Azif, the original of the grimoire Necronomicon. He was eaten and killed by an Invisible Monster in broad daylight on the streets of Damascus.
He closed his mouth after reading about Abdul Alhazred’s end.
Being eaten to death in broad daylight by a monster he had once bound… That was extremely useful information.
He closed the grimoire again and put it back into his bag.
W̆е̃ b̌ ṅovе ľ Е̂ṅu m̂а
He wished everything was a dream. No, studying for future employment was already a headache as a philosophy major. Now he was supposed to live trembling, not knowing when he might be killed by some invisible monster bastard?
“……….”
At that moment, the professor, a textbook example of someone who went around with authority plastered all over his face like he was saying, ‘I am a professor,’ glanced at him and suddenly raised his voice. Ever since he once butted heads with him over buying books, he had been giving him bullshit whenever he saw him.
“Raise your hands if you did not bring your major textbooks.”

Yo-han rolled his eyes once and raised his hand. As if he had caught him perfectly, the lecture began.
“You are not elementary school students. You are adults, yet you cannot even properly bring a single book needed for class. Truly pathetic, pathetic. And these days, male students especially….”
Ŵ е b̈.ṅȯ vе̇l _E n̆ u m.а̃
If you do not have it, you just listen without it.
It felt ridiculous that at a university he attended after paying tuition, not elementary school, he had to listen to something like that, but since he was a professor for his major, he kept his mouth shut.
Separate from that, irritation welled up in Yo-han.
The dead man from last night came to mind.
‘Think good thoughts. Good thoughts.’
Thinking of the Invisible Vampire that would be sleeping inside the grimoire, even such thoughts stopped.

The class would end soon. He would just go eat lunch.
…And at the moment he soothed himself like that.
Chwaaaak-
The professor’s neck was torn apart.
“-!?”
The culprit was, naturally, the ‘Invisible Vampire’ that had come out of the grimoire and revealed its true body at some point.
Ёnu m̆ а̌ .і d
With a body invisible to others’ eyes, it sank its fangs into the professor’s neck and tore at it.
Udeudeuk-!

Because it happened so instantaneously, Kim Yo-han’s eyes widened as he blankly stared at the scene.
Thud-
At the sight of the professor’s head falling, rolling across the floor, and blood scattering everywhere, screams rang out throughout the lecture hall as an incomprehensible yet natural reaction.
“Kyaaaaaaah!”
Ẁе̊b̈n o v̌ еl̃ Е̌ num̈ ӓ
Kim Yo-han mixed in among the fleeing students, naturally ran down the hallway, and went into the restroom.
He hid his body in a toilet stall and clutched his head.
‘Why did it kill again this time!? I was thinking good thoughts!’

When he glared at the Invisible Vampire that had caused an incident on its own and followed him in.
“Grrr….”
W̃ е̃b n̊ о̄ v̂ е̌ l Ӗnu m̃.ӓ
A dissatisfied growl came from its mouth.
Then another sound followed, coming from its stomach.
Gurrrr….
“Wh-what…?”
He cursed at his own stupidity and carelessness.
“…Fuck.”

Even if it was a fantasy Magic being, a monster, it was still a living creature. Naturally, it needed food. It was hungry right now.
The creature had not been able to finish its meal at the site where the man was killed yesterday.
Because he ran away from there, and it chased after him, the owner of the grimoire.
After enduring its hunger like that.
It read his thought just now about lunchtime and started eating.
But this time too, he fled the place and the meal was interrupted.

“……….”
The end of Abdul Alhazred, who was eaten by his familiar, came to mind.

Calming his trembling body, he got up from his seat, immediately left the university, and went to a butcher shop. There was no time to waste.
A Vampire. A monster that craved blood and flesh.
Having it kill a person every time it ate was obviously unacceptable. It was murder, and it drew far too much attention.
The deaths of the man and the professor were accidents, but the moment he fed it a human as a meal, he would become a real, undeniable serial killer.
W е b̊nо̄ vеl Еn ǔḿ а̀
…That really was the last resort.
Unlike later Vampire creations that only crave human blood, early Vampire lore did not distinguish between humans and animals.
He had to find meat to feed it instead of people.
That was why he grabbed pork, chicken, at the butcher shop without discrimination.

“Kkh-!”
His hand hesitated briefly in front of the beef packs.

But in the end, he put it in. He had saved up part-time job money, so he could manage somehow for now.
With trembling hands, holding a bag full of meat packs in both hands.
He returned home, put the meat into a large basin, and handed it to the Invisible Vampire.
“Please eat….”
“Gyaak?”
It brought its face close to the meat in the bowl, sniffed it, then turned its head as if something was lacking.

“Gyaa!”
‘You are a monster, so do not be picky about side dishes!’
His brow furrowed on its own at the sight.
‘Is meat alone not enough? Well, should I go buy some blood sausage?’
Logically, getting blood packs was difficult. His own blood was even more out of the question, and trying to feed this size would make him shrivel up and die.
First, to calm down, he opened the refrigerator door to at least drink water. A milk carton caught his eye.

Maybe because the situation was so urgent, trrr… trrr… his head started turning.
It was not something he saw in a specialized book, but something he saw in a comic, that milk was transformed blood.

A dairy cow’s blood transforms and becomes milk.
If you look at Catholic texts, there are passages that equate milk with blood as well.
He poured milk into the bowl filled with raw meat.
White blood and meat.

When he held the bowl out again, the Invisible Vampire creature sniffed it, then plunged its face into the bowl and ate the milk-soaked meat!
Munch~ Munch~!
“Gyaaah!”
The creature lifted its head, let out a pleased cry toward him, and then devoured the meat.

It was as if it was saying, “Thank you for the meal.”
“Ha… haha….”
W̃е̂ b̈ñо̇ v̄ é l̇ Е̌ n̂ u̇ m̄а
Whether it was from the relief of having survived or because the situation was so absurd, laughter came out.
“…Yeah, eat well.”
Right, let’s admit it. Whether he knew if it was real or not, he bought the grimoire, received this bizarre magical lifeform, the Invisible Vampire, and became its owner.
He could no longer return to the life he had before buying the grimoire yesterday.
He could not live normally. Being normal would not let him survive.
Let’s stop being passively scared, running away, and panicking now.

When he grasped the book with a cover made of steel in his hand.
As if reading the owner’s will, the grimoire opened and magical knowledge was revealed.
If he could not understand it, then he just had to become someone who could.
He had no choice but to become a Wizard.

He picked up this junk heap of a grimoire and threw it onto the floor.
Clang!
“No! Planetary Days!? Solomon’s Magic? Pentagrams? What’s Ars Paulina!?”
His head spun from the traditional medieval Magic settings.

“Where are Fireball and Chain Lightning!?”
To be honest, if he said he did not expect a fantasy archwizard flinging fireballs from his hands, that would be a lie.
