After the surprise test, the school closed for the day.
Heaven knew how exhausted I was by that time, the test was something I did not expect to be brain-cracking. I had written what I think is right and now, I'm relying on my luck to pass it.I met up with Taylor and we briefly talked about the moving-in of a thing. Tomorrow is going to be a weekend and so I'll have to move in tomorrow. After talking with him, I left him and headed home.Upon arrival, I saw the mother and son duo waiting for me in the sitting room. The moment the lady saw me, she stood up and blocked my way."What are you still doing here? I thought Alex told you to leave this house for good?" She asked while eyeing me like I was some pest... Or maybe I am actually."He did, but am I supposed to leave empty-handed?" I asked her and rolled my eyes at her.Just as I expected, she got more infuriated, "You son of a bitch!" She yelled and rushed to slap me.Calling Ryan's mother a bitch was like calling mine a bitch. How dare she refer to my mother as a bitch? Who gave her that privilege? My face darkened, I clenched my fist and waited for her to try and hit me.The moment she tried to hit me, I caught her hand and held it tightly. She was taken aback by my action and so was Alex. He rushed over immediately to hit me but I tilted my hand to the side and glared at him. I don't know why that happened but the moment he saw the look on my face, he backed away to the surprise of his mother."Alex! What are you doing? Come and help your mother!" She yelled to him but he didn't move an inch from where he was standing.Feeling satisfied with his action, I turned back and faced his mother who was trying to free herself from my hold."Thank your stars that I have high respect for old people like you, if not, I would have made you wish you were dead!" I growled at her and then pushed her to Alex who caught her immediately to stop her from falling. I glared at the two of them briefly before I left and went into my room, slamming the door hard behind me.Entering the room, I took off my uniform and went into the bathroom to bathe and also cool my head off. I switched on the shower and went under it to allow the cold water to pour down on me. It took me more than fifteen minutes to be through because I had to carefully watch my new hair.Having white hair is sure a hassle, each time I take my bath, I would scrub and scrub to keep it clean or it'll look dirty and I wouldn't want that. I can't help but imagine how tiresome it was for the owner of this body to maintain its beauty. Bet he would be mocking me wherever he is right now, tsk!I came out of the bathroom, wrapped in my short towel. I strolled to the mirror to gaze fully at this new body of mine."This body sure looks attractive," I mumbled while staring at myself. My former body was the opposite of this one. While the old one looked rough, malnourished, and pale despite the years of training, this one looked smooth, fleshy, and attractive. "It's no wonder Rina fell for him," I said and let out a sigh.I stopped staring at myself and walked away from the mirror. I needed to pack all my stuff so that first thing tomorrow morning I'm leaving this goddam house. Initially, I was being skeptical about Taylor and the reasons why he wants me as his roommate but after having a thorough thought, I find out that staying with him was a lot better than staying here.I quickly wore my clothes and began to pack some of the things that the old Ryan had, most especially his books. Seeing the number of books piled up, I began to wonder just how much the boy loved reading. And surprisingly, they were mostly about demons. Why was he so much into demons? He can't possibly be a demon right?"No!" I shook my head at the thought.Demons could be real, especially in this world but there is no how that the old Ryan is a demon. It can't be possible, one reason is that this body doesn't look that of a demon.I sighed at my thoughts and continued to pack his clothes, I stuffed them inside one of the bags and when I was done with it, I proceeded to pack the few shoes he had. They weren't much, so I was quick in packing them.Seeing that I was done packing my stuff, I heaved a sigh and wanted to go to the bed but just then, I jammed my leg against one of the bags, and I stumbled and fell."Damn it!" I groaned with gritted teeth. I wasn't pained because I fell but because I had hit one of my toes against a hard surface. The pain of hitting a toe against a hard object was something else. I stayed for some seconds lying on the ground and wriggling in pain and then when it had subsided, I tried to get up.Turning my face to the bedside, I saw a book under the bed. Curiosity, they say kills the cat but unfortunately, I am not a cat. I crawled close to the bed and pulled out the book, then began to examine it carefully.It was an old-looking book that I found to be strangely odd. I felt the aura it was emitting to be ominous, its cover was dyed red which made it look like it was made with some kind of blood or something. It had the symbol of a red eye drawn inside a circle on the front cover."What kind of book is this?" I mumbled after opening the first page of the book. There was nothing written inside of it, not a word was written at all. "Is it some kind of prank or what?" I asked with a squeezed face. Getting pissed off at the fact that there was nothing inside the book, I flung it away but all of a sudden, the book flew towards me and before I knew what was happening I lost consciousness."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
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
