"Argh!" I groaned as I opened my eyes. Looking around, I was in my room and on the floor. "Huh? How did I end up sleeping on the floor?" I asked myself in surprise.
Surprisingly, I could not remember anything from last night. How and why I ended up sleeping on the floor."It's 6 am already," I mumbled and decided to get up.I took off my clothes and went to take my bath. I could not wait to leave the house once and for all.After dressing and all that, I carried my bags and left my room. They were still sleeping and so by the time they'll be awake, they won't see me in the house. With a sigh of relief, I opened the door and walked out of it.Getting outside, I was surprised to see Taylor waiting for me by the side of the gate. The moment he saw me, he smiled and rushed over."I thought you would not come out again," he said with a smile."Why wouldn't I?" I asked back and he replied with a shrug. "Let's just go," I said to him and began to walk.He helped me with one of my bags and so we went to school. After we got to the school, we were supposed to head straight to the male dorms but then something caught out attention."Should we go check it out?" Taylor asked and I nodded.Curiously, we headed to where the group of students had gathered and pushed our way to the front of the crowd. There we saw a frail-looking boy being beaten by a group of bullies.The boy had green hair and eyes, his skin looked pale... Like he had no blood inside of him. His eyes looked dead to me and he was crying silently. Above all, he was a level 1 ability user."What did he do to them?" I turned and asked someone close to me."According to what I've heard, the five of them are all childhood friends. They come from the same town and so they know each other. The green-haired boy is a rich kid but unfortunately, he was born out of wedlock. His mother ran away from the household a year later he was born, leaving him to suffer at the hands of his step-family and father. I think it's why these four boys are beating him. More or less, we should not meddle in their affairs, those boys are strong."After listening to the boy's reply, I stared at the four boys. One of them is a level 5 ability user while the other three are level 4 users. The boys were pretty strong, no lie. I would have loved to save the green-haired boy because he reminds me so much of myself but then I am only a level 2 user with no ability. How could I wish of saving him?"What are you thinking about?" I heard Taylor whisper close to me.I turned and shook my head, "I wish I could save him but I can't fight against them," I replied to him."Then what are we waiting for? Let's save him!" Taylor said and made to jump to the front but I was able to stop him right in time."What are you doing? Is that how you want to save him?" I asked him while staring at him in disbelief."If not like this then how?" He asked and peeled away from my hold. He rushed to the front and the first thing he did was kick the level 5 ability user on his knee. "Let the boy go!" He mumbled to the boy.The boy groaned but that didn't deal much damage to him. He turned and glared at Taylor and the first thing that came to his mind was to check his power level. Seeing the number 6 on his wrist, the boy was quite taken aback but because he didn't want to look scared, he took hold of himself and stood up."Who are you?" The boy asked Taylor."My name is Taylor and that's my friend, Ryan," Taylor replied and motioned for me to come out."What the fuck?" I groaned. I didn't want to get involved because of my power level, I had expected him to just do his thing but now... calling me out? hah!Nevertheless, I dropped my bag and joined him."Level 2?" The boy scoffed after seeing my power level. "What are you doing with a loser like him?" He asked Taylor. Taylor chuckled and then replied. "What I do with him is none of your business. Your question should be... Why are we here?"The boy was pissed but he was rational enough to know that he was no match for Taylor but even at that... "You are meddling in my business, are you not aware? This brat here is my business, you should not meddle in it!" He replied."I don't care what your reason is for beating him but I despise the likes of you and will stop at nothing to see that justice is served. We will leave here with him and there is nothing... Absolutely nothing that you will do about it! And if you dare make a move to attack any of us, I'll make sure you leave this school on wheels."'Wow! I didn't know he had this side of him!' I thought to myself while staring at Taylor. The guts, the spirit... Everything about him is so cool that I can't help but envy him. Even the green-haired boy was lost in a daze, bet no one has stood up for him before."Let's go!" Taylor whispered to me.I came back to my senses and helped the green-haired boy up to his feet. The boy was seriously beaten into a poop and so I had no choice but to hold him so that he won't have to fall. After Taylor had carried my bags, we walked away from there and headed to the dorms."Your room is the last one?" I asked Taylor as he led us to the last room in the building."Yes, of course. What? Don't you like it?" He replied and asked."Far from it. I'm just curious as to why your dorm is the last one here. I find it to be quite suspicious," I replied and glanced at him to see his reaction. He briefly smirked but that didn't go unnoticed by me because I had my eyes solely on him."I'm glad that you find it suspicious but don't worry, I won't do anything life-threatening," he replied and went to open the door because we had reached the room.--------------------AN: Hello readers, it's the author here!!This is the tenth chapter and so I decided to engage my dear readers in a little convo.1: How do you see these few chapters?2: What are your thoughts about them, where do I need to correct?3: What do you not like in the available characters?4: Do you have any idea that you think may be cool if added?Feel free to answer the questions.....Entering inside, I was quite fascinated with the view.It was thrice the size of a normal dorm back in my previous world. The bed was large enough to fit more than two people, and the room itself was decorated with blue curtains and some family photos. In these photos were six individuals — The older man and woman, a young man and a lady by his side, and then Taylor and a little girl by his side. "They are my family," he replied to my curiousness. "My father and mother, big brother and sister and that's me and my little sister.""You've got a wonderful family," I said to him, earning a smile from him.I noticed something about the rest of his family members except for him."Their hair is a mixture of red and white but why is yours just red?" I asked him. Instead of replying to me, he smiled and walked into one of the smaller rooms there. His silence meant that he didn't want to tell me anything and so I had to respect his decision, not minding whatever reasons he may have.I helped th
"Ah, goddam it!" I groaned while holding my stomach. I was standing by the door and waiting for the two boys to be done changing clothes. It was already past twelve and we were yet to have our breakfast. I get it if maybe Taylor isn't the food type and if probably, Ray doesn't want to eat because of what happened earlier but that doesn't mean we can't go to the canteen... I am damn hungry! The last time I ate was at the canteen yesterday, I had nothing for dinner and so it is expected of me to be hungry. These two boys didn't want to go out initially but after pleading for minutes they decided to follow me, but even at that, they were still dragging their feet. "Can you two be fast? Please, ah!" I yelled impatiently at them. I could not get a hold of myself, I have never felt this hungry before, it was as if I haven't had anything to eat for days or possibly weeks."Sorry for keeping you waiting," Ray replied as he approached me.I glanced at him and then nodded, it was not him t
"Where is Taylor?" Ray asked me as he got up from bed.It was midnight already and I was still unable to sleep. I didn't know why but maybe it should be because I was feeling unrest. It's all because of him! His words hit me really hard. I thought I was going to overlook them just like I always do but the answer is no. "I don't know. When he returns, you ask him yourself," I replied to him."You don't know? I thought you two are friends—""Friends or not, it doesn't mean anything. Ask him when he returns, I want to take a walk outside."The way I answered him... It was wrong, I know but I can't help it. For now, I need to cool my head off, he should try and understand me and if he doesn't, I'll still apologize to him later. I opened the door and left.I needed to cool my head, I should stop thinking about what he said but the more I try, the more my heart gets heavy. I wanted to scream out loud but it was late in the night, and I can't disturb the entire school."Not strong?" I groane
I have no idea what happened next but when I opened my eyes, I saw myself in the dorm room. "Ryan, you are awake!" Ray exclaimed next to me. I turned and stared at him, he looked worried as fuck."Where is Taylor?" Instead of answering his question, I asked about him as he was the last person I saw before blacking out. "Ray, you can leave first. We'll meet you at the canteen later," Taylor said as he came out of the bathroom. He briefly glanced at me before returning his gaze to Ray."But you guys haven't told me anything yet," Ray protested with a displayed look."It's why I said, we will meet you at the canteen. Just get going already," Taylor said and gently pushed him out of the room before closing the door."Taylor, I—""What are you?" He asked, not allowing me to make the statement I wanted to.I stared at him in the eyes, he was looking at me strangely. His question... What am I?"I don't know. How about you tell me?" I replied to him.He stared at me for a while and then look
And so now, the whole students are on high alert after hearing about the creed. The creed or not, I am not to be concerned about it. I had a more important thing to do, which is finding out more about vamps. In my previous world, I only read about them or watched them in the movies, I had believed that they were nonexistent until now. For me to have become a vamp was something I did not know would eventually happen to me someday, not like I'm upset about it but it is just too surprising.Although I am not yet certain that I'm a cold-blooded creature at least, the signs are there. My red glowing eyes, my hunger for strength, my highlighted senses... I mean they are what a vamp should have, right?I do not want to make stupid assumptions, it was better to find out myself than rely on a mere analysis made by Taylor. And so during break time, instead of meeting with my roommates at the canteen, I turned around and headed to the school library. An extremely large building on its own.En
It was night time and just like the other night, Taylor left again. The moment Ray slept off, I used this opportunity and left as well. I headed to the old building because it was a much better place to do things as long as you don't get seen by other students. Remembering that the school had placed a curfew, I needed to be extra careful so that I won't get caught by any security man.I reached the old building without getting caught and headed to one of the rooms at the far end of it where students will likely not go. After settling down, I used the marker I found in the classroom and then began to draw the picture on the cover of that book. I could still remember the details vividly and so it wasn't difficult for me to draw them.Soon, I was done with the drawing. The next step was for me to cut myself a bit and let the blood drop in the center of it. I took out the knife I came with and cut myself in the wrist, was expecting it to be painful but I didn't feel anything at all. Given
Now that the entrance door has been broken, my next move is to go save Ray.The students are all scattered all over the place, some of those who thought they were bold end up dying like chickens while those that were deemed foolish are the ones still alive and fighting for their lives by running to hide or escape.These aliens are so powerful, and that is without a doubt. With their long arms, they attack students from afar, and with their speed, they stop those trying to get past them.*Ding*[Defeat about 10 aliens to acquire a new skill]'What!' I screamed internally at my system request. It wants me to kill about ten aliens in this place, but how am I supposed to do that? I don't even know what my abilities are and I'm afraid that I'll end up going crazy for blood if I exhaust myself. All this but still, I have to fight these aliens if I must survive. 'System, display my stats!' I am in a well-hidden place and so I can view my stats and know the abilities I have. This way, I shou
I landed on the floor and watched as the Alien's head rolled on the floor, causing his blue blood to spatter around.Seeing this, my first question was, "How was the rod able to carry out a perfect slash just like a sword?" It was surprising to me but then, not all that surprising. This was a result of the demon energy I put into it."Ryan?" I heard Ray call me. I had totally forgotten that he was there. I looked at him, and for sure, he was staring at me with wide eyes."Don't say a word about this to anyone!" I reminded him just in case. "Really? So... Does that mean we now share a secret?" He asked back. I would be lying if I say that he wasn't pretty much excited about this. The look in his eyes... Hah!"I don't know exactly what you mean, but whatever it is, don't forget what I just told you," I replied to him. *Ding*[One alien killed, complete your task and acquire a new skill]I ignored my system notification and focused on the alien. This alien was too easy to be killed,
