Manga Story
Episode 1 — Another Day Underground Summary For eleven years, Shelter 14 has been humanity's sanctuary beneath the earth. Deep underground, life continues with surprising normalcy. Children play in the central plaza, workers report to their shifts, families gather for meals, and residents go about their daily routines believing their shelter will protect them from the horrors of the surface. Among them is Ethan Ward, a quiet maintenance assistant who spends his days repairing the aging infrastructure that keeps the shelter alive. His closest companion is Lily Harper, a cheerful six-year-old girl who follows him around the shelter and constantly drags him into conversations he never asks for. Meanwhile, Lily's mother Sarah Harper works in food distribution, Marcus Reed oversees maintenance operations, Daniel Brooks trains new security recruits, and Director Hayes monitors the shelter's systems from the command center. To most residents, today feels like any other day. But subtle signs suggest otherwise. While performing his routine tasks, Ethan passes through the Observation Corridor, where the outside world can be seen beyond reinforced glass. For only a brief moment, something appears in the distance—a silhouette standing motionless far beyond the shelter. By the time Ethan looks again, it is gone. The feeling lingers. As evening settles over Shelter 14, families gather, workers finish their shifts, and the shelter's warm lights create an illusion of safety. Then everything changes. Without warning, emergency sirens erupt throughout the shelter. Red warning lights flood every corridor. Conversations stop. Children freeze. Workers look up. The familiar announcement echoes through the shelter: "ATTENTION RESIDENTS. HUNT PROTOCOL IS NOW IN EFFECT. ALL CITIZENS RETURN TO DESIGNATED SECTORS IMMEDIATELY." For most residents, it is just another Hunt. A dangerous night they have survived many times before. But for Ethan, Lily, and everyone inside Shelter 14... it will be their last normal day. Episode Theme Safety is often an illusion. Ending Hook The Hunt has begun.

![Chapter 1 — Oh, This Is Going To Be Fun
The first thing Ereshka Libitina did after opening her eyes was laugh.
Not panic.
Not scream.
Laugh.
A delighted, borderline unhinged laugh echoed throughout the ancient forest while she sat in the middle of damp grass beneath towering trees larger than buildings, silver moonlight pouring through the branches as cold wind swept across her face.
“Hah… hahahaha…”
Her crimson eyes gleamed with excitement.
“No freaking way.”
She slapped both cheeks dramatically before looking around again just to confirm she was not hallucinating.
Gigantic forest.
Primitive atmosphere.
No city lights.
No roads.
No sounds of civilization.
Then the translucent crimson screen floating before her eyes made her grin widen even further.

Ereshka stared at the words.
Then—
She flopped backward into the grass dramatically while kicking her legs like an excited child.
“Oh my God, oh my God, OH MY GOD!”
This was real.
Actually real.
She had reincarnated into The Vampire Diaries universe.
Not just TVD either.
The entire universe.
The Originals.
Legacies.
All the lore.
All the supernatural nonsense.
All the Mikaelson family drama.
And she was here before any of it even started.
Ereshka sat up slowly, black hair falling over her shoulders while a massive grin spread across her face.
“This…” she whispered dramatically while placing a hand over her chest, “is the greatest day of my life.”
Most people would probably cry after waking up in a prehistoric death forest.
Ereshka, however, had spent years reading fanfictions, watching theories, arguing with people online about Klaus versus Marcel, rewatching Mikaelson edits at three in the morning, and yelling at her screen whenever stupid decisions happened.
Now she was here.
Actually here.
“You’re telling me,” she muttered while staring at the moon, “I get to witness the rise of the Originals firsthand?”
Pause.
A dangerous smile slowly appeared.
“…Or maybe become worse than them.”
The system chimed softly.
[MAIN QUEST]
Build A Kingdom
Requirements:
• Create a territory

• Spread the influence of Sin

???
Failure:
Kingdom destruction
Ereshka blinked once.
Then burst into laughter again.
“A kingdom?!”
She rose dramatically to her feet and pointed at the sky.
“What tha hell!! A F*** kingdom in this backward era?!”
Her voice echoed throughout the forest.
Birds exploded from nearby trees.
Silence followed.
Then—
Crunch.
Crunch.
Crunch.
Ereshka slowly lowered her arm.
“…Oh?”
Several figures emerged from the darkness between the trees.
Seven people.
Four girls.
Three boys.
All wearing primitive clothing made from leather and fur.
All absurdly attractive despite looking like they belonged in ancient history.
And every single one of them froze after seeing her.
To be fair, Ereshka probably looked insane right now.
A pale teenage girl in modern clothes standing dramatically in the middle of nowhere while glowing crimson windows floated around her.
The oldest among the group, a tall young man with bronze skin and sharp golden eyes, instinctively stepped in front of the others protectively.
Ereshka noticed immediately.
Leader type.
Wrath maybe.
Interesting.
Meanwhile the oldest woman narrowed her eyes suspiciously.
“…Who are you?”
Ereshka slowly smiled.
Oh, she was absolutely milking this moment.
She took one elegant step forward before letting her voice lower into something smooth and theatrical.
“A traveler.”
The siblings stared blankly.
“…From where?” one of the younger girls asked.
Ereshka lifted her chin slightly.
“Far beyond your comprehension.”
Complete nonsense.
Utter nonsense.
But judging from their expressions?
It worked perfectly.
Inside, she was cackling.
God, she loved acting mysterious.
The system chimed again.
[SOUL SEARCH ACTIVATED]
Compatible Souls Detected.
Seven Deadly Sin Candidates Found:
• Seraphine Vesper Nerezzath — Pride
• Lyra Vesper Nerezzath — Envy
• Nyssara Vesper Nerezzath — Lust
• Vaelith Vesper Nerezzath — Greed
• Draven Vesper Nerezzath — Wrath
• Kael Vesper Nerezzath — Sloth
• Mordren Vesper Nerezzath — Gluttony
Potential Loyalty:
EXTREME
Ereshka’s eyes sparkled.
“Oh this is getting good.”
“What is?” Kael asked cautiously.
“Nothing.”
The siblings exchanged confused looks.
Ereshka observed them carefully now.
They all shared similar features.
Dark hair.
Sharp eyes.
Dangerously pretty faces.
The Vesper Nerezzath line.
Interesting name.
More importantly—
Not one of them looked afraid of her.
Curious?
Yes.
Wary?
Definitely.
But fear?
None.
That was unusual.
Most humans should have been terrified.
Instead they looked… drawn to her.
Especially the sister called Nyssara whose eyes practically gleamed with fascination.
Ereshka smiled slightly.
Cute.
The oldest sister crossed her arms.
“You still have not answered properly.”
“And you still haven’t offered hospitality,” Ereshka replied instantly with an offended gasp worthy of Rebekah Mikaelson herself. “Honestly, where are your manners?”
The siblings looked stunned.
Draven blinked slowly.
“…Manners?”
“Yes.”
“You screamed at the sky.”
“That is not the point.”
“…You are strange.”
“Thank you.”
Ereshka walked past them casually before inspecting the surrounding forest with visible disappointment.
“No castle.”
Silence.
“No servants.”
More silence.
“No dramatic gothic architecture whatsoever.”
The siblings stared at her like she was insane.
Which—
Fair.
Then Ereshka suddenly spun around dramatically.
“Right. Since fate has clearly brought us together, congratulations! You are now my first followers.”
“…What?” Seraphine asked flatly.
“You heard me.”
Draven frowned.
“Why would we follow you?”
Ereshka grinned.
Because honestly?
She had absolutely no idea.
But confidence was key.
So she slowly walked toward him until only a small distance remained between them, crimson eyes meeting golden ones fearlessly.
Then she smirked.
“Because your instincts are already telling you to.”
Silence.
Draven froze.
Not because magic affected him.
Not yet.
But because somehow—
She was right.
The atmosphere around this girl felt wrong.
Beautiful.
Dangerous.
Ancient.
Like staring into darkness and finding the darkness smiling back.
Ereshka noticed his expression and nearly laughed.
God this was fun.
The system chimed again.
[FIRST DAILY SIGN-IN AVAILABLE]
Claim Rewards?
[Y/N]
Without hesitation—
“Yes.”
Crimson energy erupted around her.
The seven siblings stumbled backward as black-red power spiraled through the forest like living smoke while infernal symbols burned beneath Ereshka’s feet.
Her hair lifted slightly.
Her eyes glowed brighter.
And then—
The rewards appeared.

The power slowly faded.
Silence consumed the forest.
Then Mordren whispered shakily—
“…She has horns.”
Ereshka blinked.
“What?”
Everyone pointed downward.
She looked at the ground.
Her shadow indeed had massive curved horns.
Pause.
Then—
“That,” Ereshka declared proudly, “is incredibly sexy.”
The siblings collectively lost the ability to speak.
And somewhere deep within the ancient forest, beneath silver moonlight and towering trees untouched by history, the very first Demon Empress smiled with genuine excitement because for the first time in her entire existence—
Life was finally interesting.
Chapter 2 — The Birth of Sin
The moment Ereshka made her decision—
She moved.
One second she stood before the seven siblings smiling softly beneath the moonlight.
The next—
She vanished.
Draven’s instincts exploded in warning.
Too late.
A sharp sting pierced his neck.
His eyes widened.
Then Ereshka appeared behind Lyra.
Bite.
Nyssara.
Bite.
Seraphine.
Bite.
One after another she moved through the forest in crimson blurs so unnaturally fast that the siblings could not even process what was happening before darkness consumed them entirely.
Bodies collapsed onto the forest floor.
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
Silence returned.
Ereshka stood alone among them while licking a drop of blood from her lips thoughtfully.
“…Okay that was hot.”
The system chimed softly.
[DEVIL BITE SUCCESSFUL]
The Seven Deadly Sin Candidates are undergoing Infernal Evolution.
Estimated Completion Time:
2 Months
Warning:
Transformation process is extremely painful.
Recommendation:
Prepare secure resting chambers.
Ereshka stared at the unconscious siblings.
Then dramatically placed both hands on her hips.
“Well,” she announced proudly to absolutely nobody, “looks like motherhood came early.”
The forest remained silent.
“…Rude.”
She sighed before grabbing Draven under one arm with surprising ease.
Then immediately fell sideways.
“OH COME ON!”
Apparently carrying fully grown humans was harder than expected.
After several extremely undignified attempts involving dragging, grunting, and threatening unconscious people, Ereshka finally managed to place all seven bodies beside one another in a neat line near the riverbank.
She stepped back to admire her work.
“…This looks mildly cult-ish.”
Pause.
“…I love it.”
The system window appeared again.
[BLOODLINE STATUS]
Primordial Devil Bloodline:
0.1% Unlocked
Current Physical Capability:
Peak Human Limit
Note:
Host is NOT omnipotent.
Ereshka stared blankly.
“…Excuse me?”
She immediately walked toward the nearest tree before dramatically swinging a stone axe into it.
CRACK.
The tree barely dented.
Ereshka blinked once.
Then twice.
“You’re telling me I’m only peak human?”
[ANSWER: YES]
“But I moved like lightning earlier!”
[DEVIL BITE temporarily enhances Host speed.]
“That is criminally misleading.”
Still…
Ereshka slowly smiled.
0.1%.
Not even one full percent.
And she could already move faster than humans could perceive.
Oh this was going to become absurd later.
Excitement sparkled in her crimson eyes.
Then she cracked her neck.
“Fine.”
If she wanted a kingdom—
She would build one herself.
And thus began the most exhausting week of Ereshka’s second life.
—
Trees fell one after another beneath endless axe swings while ancient forests echoed with frustrated screaming every few hours.
“WHY ARE TREES SO BIG?!”
CRACK.
“I MISS POWER TOOLS!”
CRACK.
“WHO INVENTED MANUAL LABOR?!”
CRACK.
The answer was probably humans.
Which only annoyed her more.
Still—
She adapted frighteningly fast.
During her previous life, Ereshka had spent years visiting her grandfather’s isolated mountain cabin during summer holidays, learning how to skin animals, preserve meat, build wooden structures, and survive without modern conveniences because her grandfather had firmly believed that “every child should know how to survive civilization collapsing.”
At the time she thought it was excessive.
Now?
The memories were priceless.
Slowly the clearing transformed.
First came support beams.
Then walls.
Then elevated flooring.
Then massive dark windows crafted from polished river crystal.
Ereshka worked without rest for seven entire days thanks to her Super Regeneration constantly removing fatigue before it could overwhelm her.
By the third day she hunted deer using sharpened wooden spears.
By the fifth day she had crafted proper bedding from fur and leather.
By the sixth—
The cabin no longer resembled a cabin.
It resembled a gothic mansion hidden within the forest.
Dark wood.
Towering ceilings.
Sharp architecture.
Elegant stairways.
Massive fireplaces.
And outside beneath enormous black trees—
Seven beautifully crafted caskets rested within a candlelit underground chamber she personally carved herself.
Each coffin carried intricate infernal carvings.
Seraphine’s carried elegant crown-like markings.
Draven’s looked brutal and jagged.
Nyssara’s was almost hauntingly beautiful.
Ereshka stood within the chamber admiring them proudly.
“…This is either the coolest thing ever,” she murmured, “or I’m becoming a supervillain.”
The system immediately responded.
[ANSWER: BOTH]
“…Fair enough.”
By the end of the week, moonlight illuminated her completed home beautifully.
The structure looked eerie.
Ancient.
Like something a witch from forgotten legends would inhabit.
Ereshka loved every second of it.
She collapsed dramatically onto a fur-covered chair near the fireplace while roasted venison cooked nearby.
“…I built a mini mansion in prehistoric TVD.”
She took a bite of meat proudly.
“Niklaus Mikaelson would respect the grind.”
The fire crackled softly.
Outside, rain began falling against the dark forest.
For the first time since reincarnating—
Ereshka allowed herself to relax.
Then her eyes widened suddenly.
“Oh right.”
Sign-ins.
She had completely forgotten.
“System, claim all missed sign-ins.”
Instantly—
The room exploded with crimson screens.

Even the system itself was hiding her existence.

Ancient things.
Possibly older than vampires.
Older than witches.
Maybe even gods.
Instead of fear—
A slow smile spread across her face.
Excitement.
Pure excitement.
Because hidden dangers meant hidden lore.
And hidden lore meant this world was even bigger than canon ever showed.
The system chimed one final time.

• Infernal Tailoring Knowledge

Ereshka leaned back in her chair slowly while crimson firelight reflected in her eyes.
Outside the storm raged across the ancient forest.
Below her mansion—
Seven future monsters slept within gothic caskets while their bodies evolved into something no world had ever seen before.
And sitting alone in the middle of it all, wearing oversized clothes stained with dirt and deer blood—
The future Demon Empress smiled beautifully.
“…This,” she whispered softly to herself, “is going to be ridiculously entertaining.”

Chapter 3 — The Devil’s Gifts
Rain hammered against the mansion windows while crimson firelight danced across dark wooden walls, and deep beneath the cabin seven gothic caskets rested in absolute silence while the bodies inside slowly transformed into the first infernal beings this world would ever know.
Meanwhile—
Ereshka sat upside down on a chair.
“…System,” she said while lazily swinging one leg over the armrest, “I think I might genuinely be overpowered.”
The crimson screen appeared instantly.
[CORRECTION]
Host is currently extremely weak.
“…You are such a hater.”
The system ignored her emotional suffering completely.
Ereshka clicked her tongue before grabbing a roasted piece of venison from the table and dramatically pointing at the floating screen.
“Alright then. Explain every skill properly.”
A pause.
Then dozens of crimson windows unfolded before her eyes like blooming flowers.
Ereshka’s grin widened immediately.
“Oh this is my favorite part.”

Then without hesitation—

Blood splattered across the table.
The wound closed instantly.
Ereshka gasped.
“…That is disgustingly cool.”
Then she paused.
“…Wait.”
Her eyes narrowed suspiciously.
“Does that mean I’m technically immortal already?”
[NEGATIVE]

Ereshka slowly stood.
A moment later her entire demeanor changed completely.
Her posture softened elegantly.
Her expression became warm and regal.
Even her eyes looked gentler.
“Darling,” she said softly in a completely different tone, “you simply must learn presentation.”
Another shift.
Suddenly she radiated cold murderous authority.
“Disappoint me again,” she whispered darkly, “and I’ll remove your spine.”
Another shift.
Bright smile.
Cheerful voice.
“Oh my God, you’re adorable!”
Ereshka blinked.
Then burst into manic laughter.
“THIS IS SO BROKEN!”
The system wisely stayed silent.
The next screen appeared.

For once—
Ereshka did not joke.
She stared silently at the words while rain continued crashing outside the mansion.
“Even gods…”
So there truly were beings in this universe powerful enough for the system to actively protect her from.
Ancient entities.
Unknown monsters.
Perhaps things even older than the witches.
Older than psychic dimensions.
Older than hell itself.
Instead of fear—
Excitement curled inside her chest again.
Because hidden dangers meant hidden mysteries.
And hidden mysteries made this world infinitely more entertaining.
The system chimed once more.
[WARNING]
Host psychological profile indicates increasing sadistic tendencies.
Ereshka blinked innocently.
“I have no idea what you mean.”
[RECORDED EVIDENCE SUGGESTS OTHERWISE]
“That sounds fake.”
She stood up smoothly before walking toward the massive mansion windows overlooking the dark forest beyond.
Lightning flashed across the sky.
Her crimson eyes reflected in the glass.
Behind her—
Warm firelight illuminated gothic furniture, fur carpets, dark wooden staircases, and elegant candlelit halls she had built entirely by herself within a single week.
Below her—
Seven future monsters slept peacefully in infernal caskets.
Ahead of her—
An entire supernatural world remained untouched by history.
No Mikaelsons yet.
No vampires.
No Salvatore brothers.
No Mystic Falls.
Nothing.
Just endless possibilities.
A slow smile spread across Ereshka’s face.
Then she spoke softly to her reflection.
“Take things slow, hm?”
Her smile widened dangerously.
“…I’ll consider it.”](https://media.mangaai.com/20fb1cfb-3565-4c4a-bf17-77f94e00bd34.png)
