Vampire's Slice Of Life

?Half a century later.

In the middle of a forest, by a river, lay Lith and his three friends, completely exhausted and drenched with water.

"Haah… Haah… Seriously… Haah… Who's idea was this…" Miwa said while breathing heavily.

"Sorry…" Lith responded while breathing heavily as well.

"I hate you… everyone… literally…" Miwa continued on with her complaining.

"I wanna go home…" Dennis said. However, right after a few seconds, continued, "…Nevermind. I don't wanna…"

"Why?" Ralph asked, while huffing.

"Cecilia will kill me…" Dennis answered.

"Honestly… You deserve it…" Ralph continued.

"Don't worry guys… I'm sure… Huff… We'll get to go back home soon…" Lith said in between his breaths.

"You idiot, don't raise any flags—"

…..

A hundred years later.

"SUNOVABITCH!" Miwa threw the pan in her hand as far as she could and fell flat on the ground.

Lith, Ralph, and Dennis fell down on the ground as well, completely exhausted.

"I told you… uwaaa… I told you not to raise a flag… uwaaa…" Miwa cried out.

"Sorry…" Lith answered.

"On the bright side, our ascension is nearing…" Dennis said out of nowhere while breathing heavily, trying to console Miwa.

"I might go crazy…" Ralph chimed in and said something out of context.

"Crazy!? I'm literally dying by staying in between you three idiots' sides. Oh heavens… I wanna go home… uwaaa…" Miwa cried out once again.

"Don't worry guys, it'll be over—"

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

…..

Another half a century later.

Standing atop a cliff stood four warriors, possessing a rough appearance.

They seemed like warriors, but were actually chefs, wearing an apron and holding a different type of cooking utensil in their hand.

One had a spatula, one held a rolling pin, one had a long grater, and one held a ladle.

The four were standing at the top of a cliff for…

"Alright, on the count of three… We'll unalive ourselves." Miwa said, her eyes being hollow, showing extreme sleep deprivation.

"Make it two, I wanna end it all as early as possible." Dennis, with his hair all roughed up, and cheeks caved in, said.

"Suicide is not an option…" Ralph said, his pink eyes starting to turn red, showing his lack of sex deprivation. "…it's a compulsion."

"Goodbye cruel world…" Lith added to the conversation.

Right as the four were about to jump, two people came flying in from out of nowhere.

"Oh, there you guys are."

The voice made the four feel a chill down their spine and they exclaimed, "FUCKING JUMP!"

The four jumped together, but sadly, were caught by the two Vampires flying towards them.

"Haha, Your Highness… There's still a few things left to do, you can't slack off." Juan, the fat chef, said.

"NOOOOOOO!"

"LET US GO YOU MONSTERS!"

"I DON'T WANNA BE A CHEF!"

"I don't wanna live… forever…"

…..

A year later.

In a forest.

"Good job, Your Highness, Ms. Miwa, Mr. Ralph, and Mr. Dennis." The tall and skinny Miguel said with a smile.

Juan clapped his hand and continued with a big smile, "After rigorous training, me and Miguel can proudly say that you four can be called as Master Chefs. However, there's still one last quest remaining. If you four are to complete it, I'm sure you'll become even better chefs than us."

"Indeed. You'll achieve the true Master Chef level and surpass your masters, which is us, and become unparalleled in this world." Miguel added.

Juan nodded. "Me and Miguel had once thought of taking on this final challenge, but couldn't do so due to circumstances."

The circumstances Juan was talking about was the birth of Lucy and then Lith.

Lucy and Lith's birth got the two busy in the castle and they couldn't take on this final challenge.

They were still Half Emperor Ranks, but after this challenge, they were bound to become peak Emperors and have their potential unlocked to even greater levels.

However, they both could take on this challenge anytime later on and it didn't matter much to them.

The two were really grateful to fate that they didn't do so as their Prince was the one who would first do it.

There was nothing better than this for them, and it was not just the Prince, the two were really proud of Miwa, Ralph, and Dennis too.

Their three disciples were really amazing!

The two were well aware of their Prince's potential and knew he could do just about anything. But his friends' talents really surprised them and shocked them further.

The two were proud masters of these younglings, who were on their way to become some of the greatest chefs this world has ever seen.

Of course, they still had a long way to go as just a few years of cooking did not mean they were well-versed with everything.

Lith, Miwa, Ralph, and Dennis were yet to play with a lot of different ingredients used for cooking.

They had just used up enough to become greatly experienced and self-sufficient. They were at a level where they could use just about any ingredient and make a great dish out of it.

They also could identify anything edible and cook it.

However, they were yet to identify everything and this was something that could be gained only via the passage of time and years of experience.

The four could be thought of as clay pottery.

They were built up and shaped properly, but a lot of refinement was needed that would make them the best out of the best out there.

This last quest would make them stand out among the rest of the pots, and after its completion, they simply need to work on refinement, that's about it.

In the last two hundred years, the four had travelled the world, learnt many different types of cuisines, learnt to make local dishes with authentic local tastes, and done a great deal of adventure.

They had worked in a thousand different types of restaurants around the globe and achieved a vast number of satisfied customers.

Where the four stood currently was the pinnacle of the culinary world. They did not know about it, but they really were the best.

Now, it was time to surpass their masters and become the greatest, the legends of the culinary world, and have their names etched in history.

Two hundred years of training was really harsh on the four, but it was orders from the Queen herself and rejecting it was not possible.

Juan and Miguel had argued about it taking a toll on the four, but the Queen simply stated that they would be fine.

Juan and Miguel could do nothing but proceed with the training and to their surprise, the four did survive through the harshest of times.

The four were currently standing with a healthy complexion on their faces, wearing a simple shirt and pants.

They did not look like nobles, rather, appeared very much like seasoned adventurers.

Their serious eyes, calm faces, and erect posture depicted their years of training. They were oozing out with a dangerous aura and this came after killing many beasts and fighting to procure many ingredients.

The four, after hearing about the last quest, did not show any sign of affirmation or negation. They simply let things flow and accepted their fate.

Juan and Miguel smiled.

Juan continued, "I hope you all surpass your masters and achieve even greater heights."

The four nodded in unison, as if they were robots, and placing their palms on their chests, bowed and said, "Thank you, Chef."

Years of training together had kept the four well coordinated. They had worked too much like a team and were really efficient at their jobs.

Miguel, smiling, said, "Now, as for the last quest. Let me tell you, it's not easy. What you have to do is…"
