Reborn in TVD with Devil System

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. · [DEVIL SYSTEM INITIALIZED] · Host: · Ereshka Libitina · Race: · Primordial Devil · Titles: · • First Demon Empress · • The Beginning of Sin · Timeline: · 100,000 Years Before The Original Family · Functions Unlocked: · • Daily Sign-In · • Monthly Sign-In · • Yearly Sign-In · • Quest System · • Soul Registry · • Infernal Bloodline Creation · 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 · • Gather followers · • Establish an Infernal Bloodline · • Spread the influence of Sin · Rewards: · ??? · 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. · [DAILY SIGN-IN REWARDS] · Passive: · Super Regeneration · Skill: · Devil Whisper · • Your words subtly influence emotions and desires. · Skill: · Soul Search · • Detect emotions, intentions, compatibility, and hidden desires. · Skill: · Devil Contract · • Create absolute infernal agreements. · Skill: · Devil Bite · • Your blood may evolve compatible beings into Infernal Kin. · 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.
