Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lith tried to recall all the people he might have met since joining the academy one by one. Ralph and Dennis were shocked to know that someone had attempted to assassinate Lith, but they remained silent as they stared at him, deep in thought.

A few minutes passed and Lith sighed. He couldn’t recall anyone with whom he may or may not have had a conflict with. He turned to Ralph and Dennis and said in a neutral tone,

“Let’s go back to the dorm.”

The two nodded and left the park along with Lith.

In a dorm room, far away from the main building of the Abalax World Academy, space fluctuated and a teen holding a shotgun arrived out of thin air on the ground.

The teen was Liam Novius, who fell outside of the top 10,000 due to Lith but was later approved due to his connections and six elemental affinities. He was accepted, but he was in the year’s last batch.

Liam, the teen, dashed towards the dorm room’s little study table. He took a fist-sized bowl from a drawer that he had opened. He set the bowl on the table and, with his index finger, directed some of his spiritual energy into it.

The ordinary looking bowl started shaking and the insides of it soon turned black from its ordinary silver color. Liam stopped channeling his energy after noticing that the bowl wasn’t absorbing it anymore. He placed one end of the shotgun he was holding on the black surface of the bowl.

Instead of hitting the bowl, the shotgun was absorbed into it, and the entire shotgun vanished in a flash. Liam then threw his bracelet at it, which, like the shotgun, was absorbed.

The bowl, although ordinary looking, was an expensive and rare artifact. It was a void apparatus. As its name suggested, it was an apparatus that held the void in it. It was a very small one, but such a small apparatus was still very difficult to get.

The items the teen pushed into the bowl were both sent to the void and their existence in the material world ceased to exist, thereby destroying all evidence about the assassination attempt.

“It cost me a lot to buy all these items. All the money as rewards from the assassinations I did, as well as from my own personal savings were spent on buying these artifacts. Lith Evure… I hope my money wasn’t wasted.” Liam muttered to himself while walking towards his small bed and slept on it after he finished speaking.

The items he bought were indeed expensive. One of them was a Hess Box, an item used to open a one way portal to a certain place without creating any magical fluctuations. One way meant, a person can only go to their destination via it but can’t return through the same portal.

This helped in achieving one thing: it was to ensure that nobody would have an idea about a person coming out of nowhere. There were no magical fluctuations at all and no signs of there being a portal connected. It would only be noticed by a very high rank being.

Lith didn’t have a high enough rank to detect it. However, being from a Legendary rank bloodline, he could sense danger ahead of time instinctively, but despite this, he was unable to act in time.

The bullet of Liam’s shotgun traveled through this portal he created via the Hess Box and hit Lith. Another artifact Liam used was a Hide bracelet. As its name suggests, it was a bracelet that could help one hide.

They were of various grades and Liam had just a little above average grade bracelet. This could help him in hiding from people below rank 8 and thus was pretty helpful in his opinion.

When he was confident that everything was in place and there was no evidence, he pulled the trigger on his shotgun and fired a bullet into the portal, then bit onto the emergency teleportation talisman slip.

This talisman slip was also a rare artifact. It was an emergency teleportation slip which, just like the Hess Box, caused no magical fluctuations and helped in teleportation easily. Liam could only afford a talisman which could help him move from one country to another on a continent and not anymore.

He had previously used a talisman before to teleport from Lenz city in Espat country to Haslingberg city in Uklov country of the Neutral continent and the one he used now was an even more downgraded version, since he only had to move within a few kilometers.

Liam had thus spent a lot of money on this one assassination attempt and now he was out of funds. To get more, he would need to carry out assassinations.

Every day, with the help of the vice principal, Liam always snuck out of the academy to go complete his assassination missions. It wasn’t possible for people below Emperor rank to exit or enter the academy via artifacts or teleportation. The barriers were very powerful around Abalax World Academy.

As a result, Liam had to rely on his father’s connections and snuck out with the help of the vice principal. Liam slept soundly in his bed, knowing that Lith had a slim chance of surviving.

The bullet was also an expensive item. It was manufactured by Scelestus itself and there were many varieties of it. The one Liam purchased was a bullet that would be able to kill a vampire. Vampires are very troublesome and wouldn’t die if even a part of their body was still intact.

The only way to kill them was through destroying their whole body. The bullet Liam purchased was equipped with high grade magic circles and it ensured that, at any place the bullet hit a vampire, it would die.

Thus, Liam slept soundly without worries as he knew his assassination had a high success rate and he would get the news about it tomorrow when he woke up.

…

Lith’s dorm, Abalax sky island.

Lith parted ways with Ralph and Dennis after he reached home as he wanted to do a few things and it couldn’t be done in their presence.

Sitting cross legged on his sofa, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

…

Greenville city, Rafflesia.

On the top floor of a big pointy tower.

A red and blue heterochromatic eyed lady, who seemed to be in her early 30s, wearing a black pointy hat and purple robes was sitting on a couch and sipping tea. It was her break time and she was currently relaxing.

Buzz!

She got interrupted when she heard her phone buzz. She checked who it was and after noticing the caller, she picked it up and said in a neutral tone,

“How may I help his highness, the Vampire Prince?”

“Hi Miss Hecate, I need your help. Can you please come visit me in my dorm in the academy?” Lith’s voice rang out from the other side and he said in a neutral tone.

“Your Highness is too polite. Please just call me Hecate. What help does his highness need?” Hecate said in a little cheerful tone compared to before, clearly happy with Lith being so polite with her.

“Please come over, I’ll explain everything to you.” Lith said politely.

“Your Highness, you don’t have to be so polite. Please, I insist. I’ll come right away, please wait.” Hecate said with a rare smile on her face.

“Thank you. I’ll be waiting.” Lith said and hung up.

“The prince is so polite.” Hecate kept her phone inside her ring and said with a smile.

She had a good impression of Lith. He was always very polite with her whenever they talked. She was treated indifferently by Lilith for many years and Lucy, although as polite as Lith, never really had any interaction with Hecate. Thus, Lith showing such politeness made Hecate happy.

She had the impression that Lith would be just like her mother and be indifferent to her. She didn’t hate Lilith for being indifferent to her, as she was the same with everyone. Business was business and there was no need for emotions here. Thus, she didn’t mind Lilith’s indifference.

However, this didn’t mean that she was an emotionless golem. She was just a normal lady. Being shown kindness made everyone happy and she was no exception.

“He’s so nice,” Hecate said with a smile.

“Hmm? What? Why am I so happy again? Oh no…” Hecate became aware of her own weirdness as she realized that she, an Emperor rank, was becoming happy as a result of such a small gesture from Lith, a mere rank 2.

“Have I really developed Stockholm syndrome? Hmm… no… I haven’t. It’s just me overthinking again. Tsk, I should get to work. My thoughts are running too wild it seems.” Hecate muttered to herself in worry and clicked her tongue in annoyance at the end.

Shoving aside her thoughts, she cast a spell and vanished from her spot.
