Vampire's Slice Of Life

Oblivious to what was happening in the outside world, Lith continued to think of reasons for the core to appear here.

"Last time I don't know what happened, but as soon as I said immortal core, I was sucked out of here and began my ascension to Rank 9 I think. This time, even after saying those same words, nothing's happening. Does that mean that unless I figure out what the right thing to exit from here is, I won't be able to ascend to Half Saint Rank?"

"Also, will coming into contact with that core present in front be good? Or will it be bad? It's actually pretty interesting knowing there's an immortal core with all elemental affinities present here. Because as far as I know, there's just me, mom, and Lucy with an all elemental affinity."

"However, I still don't understand, what is this thing doing here and why am I here in front of it?"

"I don't remember Lucy or mom saying anything regarding such an event happening during ascensions. Lucy had normal things happening to her and the same was the case for mother when they ascended."

"Something isn't right and things are changing. I wonder what's the cause of it? Does it have something related to my reincarnation? I can't really think of any other factor other than that."

Lith had been through various things these past twenty one years but there was nothing that was too exaggerated or special. The only special thing Lith felt about him was the fact that he had reincarnated from Earth to this place and he also assumed that he reincarnated as Lilith's son due to sheer luck.

There was no other explanation available to him currently and although he knew that letting his mother know about his reincarnation wouldn't be a problem, he didn't want to do that and cause unnecessary drama in the house.

Regressors, reincarnators, and transmigrators should always keep their identity to themselves unless absolutely necessary. Lith had learnt it through the various novels he had read in his past life.

Although this world was pretty chill about all such things and there were many reincarnators and transmigrators roaming the streets of the world, Lith still didn't want to risk things.

"If I don't get an answer to my questions and if I am stuck somewhere and the only possible way out would be to reveal my identity as a reincarnator to mother, I'll do that. But not now." Lith said softly.

"For now, I still need to think of ways to get out. Sigh… I wonder how long it will take?"

Astral realm.

A blonde-haired teen was standing atop a tower with his hands behind his back and was gazing at the golden beam of light.

Although his appearance looked like a teen, the seriousness on his face made it evident that he had been through many trials in his short life.

"A sixth one." The blonde-haired teen said softly.

"Yes, master." A man standing behind the teen said in a courteous and subservient manner.

"Is he perhaps from our place?"

"Maybe. But judging from the past events, it is highly unlikely. The four people before master are nowhere near us."

The blonde-haired teen didn't reply to the butler and continued to gaze at the golden beam of light.

"Who would've thought that me creating a scene in the Astral World wasn't anything new and I wasn't anyone special. I bet that person in that golden beam might be thinking the same. Maybe, he too, just like me, is thinking if he's someone special because of the chaos he has created now."

"Master is spec—"

"No, Marco. Don't say a word. I am not even the strongest in this world, let alone the universe. Calling myself special is exaggerating things."

The teen then closed his eyes and said with slight melancholy

"I am just a normal teen, trying to survive in this harsh world."

…..

Somewhere far away from the blonde-haired teen in the Astral Realm, a tall red-haired girl, sitting on a throne was gazing at the golden beam of light.

There was indifference on her face and she had no amusement whatsoever.

The girl appeared to be someone in her late teens and her indifference made her appear really cold and unapproachable.

Her persona matched with her actions as the throne she was sitting on was lying on top of a stage made up of dead bodies of people.

In front of her were corpses, behind her were corpses — all around there were corpses.

These were the people this girl had slain and was sitting on top of them without a sense of remorse or guilt.

"A sixth one." She said indifferently.

"How many more will there be?" She asked, but there was no one alive to answer her.

She then stood up and placing her hands on the hilt of her sword, said calmly,

"I hope all of us meet soon. I really am bored."

"Run! This might be our chance to strike it big this time! Keep running! We'll make it towards the light sooner!" A man yelled and encouraged his partners to move faster.

"We are! We are! Let's go!"

The people could see the base of the golden beam of light and were really excited to move towards it and see what treasures it might have.

Their hopes were up and they felt that they were really lucky. However, right after a minute, a giant pitch black monster having red eyes and with an irregular body shape appeared right in front of them and let out a soul piercing screech!

VOOOOOOOOMMMM!

"AHHHHH! DAMN IT! WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT!?"

The people shouted and closed their ears in hopes of not being able to hear that monster.

But that was a futile effort as right within the next second, they all dropped onto the ground and started shaking intensely as if they had a seizure.

A second later, the monster appeared in front of them and swallowed them.

The monster then moved in search of other prey and the area became barren once again.

But it wasn't for long until three people arrived running at this place.

"Are there any more people you see in the vicinity?" Arya asked Lilith while moving forwards.

It was Lilith who instructed Arya to tame the monsters in this place and have them take out the people moving towards the golden beam.

Arya provided the monsters with the location of the people whenever possible on Lilith's instruction and till now, they for sure might've taken out around twenty people.

"No." Lilith answered simply and continued to run.

Her entire focus was on Lith and to ensure no mishap occurred. She thus didn't put her energy into attacking people. Her main priority was Lith's safety and nothing else mattered.

Arya didn't ask further and continued to run. Lucy was the same and she was slightly behind the two people while running.

A few minutes later, the trio stopped as they encountered some people in their paths.

There were three half naked men standing in front of them with blood and dirt on their face and bodies. They were holding weapons and around them were bodies of the people they had killed.

Just looking at their face, it was evident that they weren't up to anything good.

Lilith turned towards Lucy and walked close to her. She held her face and said softly,

"Go home, dear. I don't want to risk your safety as well."

"But mom—"

Lucy didn't get a chance to speak as Lilith kissed her forehead and Lucy went out of the Astral World.

A one sided slaughter was about to begin and Lilith didn't want her child to see this side of her.

She turned towards the three men standing and gazed at them with absolute indifference.

The three men had no idea what they were into and were continuing to lecherously gaze at Lilith and Arya and were licking their lips.

One of the man among the three said while gazing at Lilith's curves,

"It will be a fun time with these delicious pieces of meat."
