Yo, what's good? To those who picked this story up… nice to meet you, you absolute legend. Thanks for rolling the dice on my chaotic brainchild.
Hello again to anyone who's been following along... this is Reincarnated as the Blood Curse Wielder by clivepogiirl.
First off, let's get the serious stuff out of the way so nobody comes after me: This is a work of fiction. Any resemblance to real people, groups, places, or events is purely coincidental. Humans on Earth cannot use magic (at least I don't think so... I haven't tried hard enough yet). And seriously, do not try to run in front of a speeding van to save your crush. That's a one-way ticket to the hospital, not a reincarnation ticket. This story will not make you reincarnate, so don't even think about testing it.
Now, the big question everyone's probably wondering: Why is the protagonist a girl?
It all started with my girlfriend (or ex, probably... life be wild like that). She was the one who hyped me up and said she wanted a strong female-led story. I was just 15 at the time, full of vibes and zero chill, so I said "bet" and started writing Eirene. Fast forward to now... I'm turning 16 next month and damn, a lot has changed. A whole lot. Breakups hit different, man. The story kinda evolved with me. What began as something cute for her turned into my personal outlet for all the messy feelings, the blood cravings (metaphorically), and the "why is life like this" energy.
I'm a Filipino dude, by the way. That's why the handle is clivepogiirl. "Clive" is my real name, "pogi" means handsome (self-proclaimed, don't @ me), and "irl" stands for in real life. Basically I'm out here advertising myself in the pen name like a true pogi. No cap.
As a total beginner writer, please forgive the half-assed settings, the random plot twists that came out of nowhere, the sudden beef stew scenes, and all the extra stuff I threw in just because it popped into my head at 2 a.m. The story jumps around more than my focus during online class. One chapter we're selling meat, next chapter we're chugging blood and evolving like it's a mobile game. My bad. I added whatever felt cool in the moment... no strict outline, just pure vibes and chaos. This whole thing is basically my hobby, my escape, and sometimes my therapy session with extra steps.
Even with all the typos, awkward sentences, and moments that make me cringe so hard I wanna hide under the blanket, I actually finished Volume 1. That's lowkey a big W for me. Eirene went from a scared reincarnated girl who just wanted to protect her man to a fanged queen with a self-healing blood sword and serious main character energy. Character development? I don't know her… but she ate.
Shoutout to everyone who read this mess. Whether you were laughing at the ridiculous parts, facepalming at the edginess, rooting for Eirene while she was out here committing war crimes with blood magic, or just vibing with the found family moments... thank you fr. Mya and her cat energy, Elias being the ultimate tsundere brother, the guild shenanigans, the beef stew nostalgia… all of it means something to me.
I'm gonna keep cooking Volume 2. There's still the continuation of Town Allure arc, Elicia's mysterious glow-up, Elias's revenge plot, deeper Blood Curse lore, and whatever unhinged ideas my brain decides to drop next. Probably more gore. You already know.
So yeah, that's it for now. Stay safe out there, stay hydrated (with water, not blood), and if you ever get isekai'd… try not to get flattened on day one.
See you in the next volume, mga pogi at poging girls. Keep it real.

P.S.
If you actually tried to test the "push someone out of a van" thing after reading this… bruh. I warned you. Go touch grass instead. And if you liked the story, drop a comment or whatever... it would really make this 16-year-old writer's day. Peace!
