SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 1

Chapter 1: Second chance

Early morning.

The sunlight bled softly through the curtains, painting golden streaks across the cluttered apartment floor. Dust motes drifted in the air, undisturbed. A man was sprawled on the bed loudly snoring. He was so out of it as if this was the first time in years he was sleeping so well.

And then, bang bang bang.

The door shook like someone was about to kick it off its hinges. Damon flinched awake, groggily sitting up.

Another knock, louder this time, almost furious.

He stumbled to his feet, rubbing the sleep from his eyes and cursing under his breath. "If this is another delivery I didn't order..."

He swung the door open.

And froze.

Standing there, backlit by the morning sun, was a woman who looked like she had just stepped out of a modeling catalog.

She was stunning, dangerously so. Long blonde hair fell in lazy waves over a crimson jacket that clung to her in all the ways that made reality feel unreal. Her legs were long and sculpted, and her posture was effortlessly confident. Her beauty had that impossible, cinematic quality, the kind teenage boys stashed under their pillows in glossy magazine form.

But her blue eyes...

They were cold. Unblinking. Lacking even an ounce of emotion.

Damon's mouth hung open. How was she here? Why was she here? He stood like a statue and gawked at her, his brain completely short-circuiting.

A look of disgust flashed past the beautiful face but Damon did not care. He was not staring because she was beautiful. He was staring because this woman should not be here right now!

"Your mail." The ice-cold beauty extended her hand.

When Damon did not respond, she shoved a small, matte-black envelope into his hands, then turned on her heel like the conversation was over. Her boots clacked once on the floor before she paused at the apartment in front of his. _{freewebnσvel.cøm}

She opened the door, went inside, and shut the door on his face. She was gone.

Damon stood there for a long time completely dumbfounded before he scrambled back into his studio apartment, crashing onto the bed, his chest heaving up and down. He was having a panic attack.

Why was she here? What was happening?

Of course, he knew the woman before. He knew her a long time ago, so why was she here now?
