The Crimson Awakening

"Stand in that circle," Zilyana tells me, and I rise from my spot, making my way towards her. She points to a circular symbol on the ground, emanating a vibrant cyan glow.

As soon as I step into the symbol, a brilliant light erupts, enveloping me completely. Once again, the intensity of the light makes it difficult to see anything clearly.

With a sudden start, I open my eyes and find myself inside an expansive room. 

"Whoa," I mutter, taking a few steps forward. I am currently in one of the most extraordinary and breathtaking places I have ever encountered. The scene before me leaves me in awe.

First, let me describe the walls of this room. They're adorned with beautiful, pulsating tree vines in a myriad of colors and energies. Even the ground pulses with potent energy, and I can feel the vines shifting beneath my feet, as if they possess a life force of their own.

Looking ahead, I notice two massive vine pillars emerging from the ground, each bearing a large crystal orb atop it. The sight of all these vines evokes a nostalgic feeling, reminding me of a certain person and all the wild adventures we embarked on together.

Sighing, I approach the pillars. As I draw closer, I spot a small opening above them in the roof, formed by entwined vines. What lies beyond this opening remains a mystery to me.

I am supposed to place my hands on the orbs, the conventional method... but am I being monitored right now?

Without hesitation, I rest my hands upon the orbs. In an instant, they start to shift from their original color to a brilliant white, radiating blinding light. Gradually, the orbs' color begins to transform into black.

The orbs emit an intense heat, causing discomfort to surge through my body. Although I'm tempted to retract my hands, it feels as if they're glued to the orbs, rendering movement impossible.

Ah, damn it!

"Argh!!!" I groan as the muscles and veins in my hands pulsate with an uncanny liveliness, while my brain feels as though it's about to explode. I can sense it—an overwhelming surge of power coursing through my entire being.

The pain only worsens; it feels as though I'm being pricked by countless needles. Even as the strongest vampire with an exceptional pain tolerance, I struggle to endure the torment these pu—

"ARGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!" A sharp, agonizing pain overwhelms me as the orb turns a fiery red. My eyes bulge, and my skin adopts a bright crimson hue.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A crimson bolt of lightning suddenly bursts from the opening above, striking my head, particularly my left eye. My eyepatch disintegrates within seconds.

"ARGH!!!!!!"

"ARGH!!!!!"

"AAARGH…!!! DAMN IT!!!"

Unbearable pain engulfs me as the red lightning relentlessly targets my eye, while a surge of energy from the orb floods my body. During this ordeal, my hair begins to float, swaying gently, as a crimson aura envelops me from head to toe.

Meanwhile, outside the tower, the sky is blanketed in red clouds, accompanied by vivid crimson lightning illuminating the heavens, striking the pinnacle of the tower. While such phenomena do occur during the awakening of talented individuals, this display appears to be on an entirely different scale.

RUMBLE. RUMBLE. RUMBLE.

Another surge of red lightning courses through the sky, this time with even greater force, causing the two cloaked spectators standing outside to tremble on their feet.

This is precisely why guests are prohibited from venturing outside during the awakening ceremony. Such sights might lead to misunderstandings and the spread of rumors.

"Activate the Array! We cannot allow these red lightning bolts to reach the public!" shouts one of the cloaked figures, using hand gestures to trace symbols in the air—a clear display of their magical abilities.

Nodding in agreement, the second cloaked figure plunges a golden staff into the ground. In an instant, a radiant pillar of light erupts from it, shooting straight into the sky.

In a flash, a massive, circular yellow barrier activates, encompassing the entire tower, except for the hall, and creating an illusory effect that renders the tower invisible.

"What the hell just happened?" I mutter as my senses gradually return. I was struck by lightning while inside the awakening room—

Wait... the awakening room.

Now that I realize it, I'm standing several meters away from the tower, outside. Firstly, I have no idea how I ended up outside, but I'm certain that after my awakening, I was automatically expelled (teleported) from the tower. And secondly, the pain I felt earlier has diminished significantly; in fact, I feel stronger than before.

Suddenly, a bright white flash materializes before my eyes.

    "Alex…"A familiar voice emerges behind me.I turn around and see Marilyn and Mom staring at me intensely. Mom is accompanied by Mrs. Valindra, and Gustav is standing nearby with a gloomy expression. Adrian isn't here. Maybe he went to integrate with a system, like me, since he's also an awakened one.Without wasting time, I power walk toward them, giving Mom and Mrs. Valindra a deep bow as I get closer.Contrary to my expectations, Mom suddenly pulls me into a tight hug, pressing my head against her chest."Where have you been, Alex? You came back later than the other kids," Mom says worriedly while caressing my hair."I'm surprised too, Mom. I was the first to enter the awakening room, but I came out late.""Fufu, despite its small appearance, the awakening tower is actually bigger than you think, with many awakening rooms inside. So, don't let it bother you," Mom replies while continuing to caress my hair."Cough… Isn't it degrading for the elven queen to be this affectionate with

    "Sister…."Suddenly, the figure spins around, and a breathtaking girl, about my height with a petite figure, appears before me."Alex!" Anya calls out as she sees me and starts sprinting in my direction. She's around thirteen, a skilled magician. She looks like a younger version of Mom, with green eyes and long, thick, blonde hair.As she nears, she jumps into my arms, causing both of us to tumble onto the grass and roll a bit. So now, I find myself on top of her.After embracing each other for a while, we disentangle ourselves and remain lying on the grass."I missed you, Alex. You hardly come to see me since Arya left. And whenever I come to check on you, you're usually not around," Anya murmurs while gazing at the sky.Hearing her words, I look at her, still awestruck by her beautiful voice and everything about her. Anya is just unique compared to the rest of us; she's the epitome of cuteness. Even when she's angry, she manages to look incredibly adorable."Don't take it that way.

It's like the aura of a vampire noble, but this body isn't suited for it.I think to myself, glancing at my veins bulging and glowing red as if something is flowing through them.

    "Why did you teach him how to use the fireball spell?!" Mom bellows as she appears in front of us."I... I didn't teach him any spell. I was also shocked when I saw him cast a fireball spell," Anya replies, staring at the ground.I simply facepalm in exasperation."Mom, she didn't teach me. Besides, she almost got injured! You should scold me instead!" I say, grabbing her shoulders."Huh... I think you're missing the point here. There's no way that fireball would injure Anya. She's obviously faking it," Mom says, looking at me as if I'm naive."Anya..." I mutter, glancing at her."Fufufu, I wanted to see your reaction. Though that fireball was huge, there's no way it would have hurt me," Anya teases, making strange faces.Sigh... I can't believe I fell for Anya's trick."By the way, brother, how was your awakening ceremony?" Anya asks, wrapping her hands around my neck.This girl... she's only asking now?"It went well..."

    Looking at the massive carriage, it resembles a muscular, hyper mini-spaceship from my past life, capable of light-speed travel. I casually wave my hand, conjuring the carriage right in front of me. Its deep blue hue is adorned with intricate black designs, and two crystal headlights add an extra touch. While these headlights are a common feature, there's a subtle hue that sets them apart.To be honest, no matter how I perceive this world, it still feels strange to me. Advanced technologies that leave me awestruck coexist with a medieval atmosphere that feels entirely foreign compared to my past life.Now, what grabs my attention the most are the gleaming white tires, crafted from an unfamiliar material. Taking brisk steps, I approach the carriage and begin running my hand along one of its tires, relishing its unique texture."Your Highness, it seems you're captivated by the tires, hehe. But that's not the only fascinating aspect of this carriage," Adrian explains, wearing a smile as

    "We've been traveling for almost an hour now, right?" I ask Marilyn, who's currently sitting beside me with her head resting on my shoulders."Actually... It's just been thirty minutes, master. Do you even realize how fast this carriage is moving?" Marilyn replies, her head still resting nonchalantly on my shoulders."Can it go faster?""...""...""It can go faster... However, the faster it goes, the more energy it consumes. You don't want to know how much energy this carriage used to guzzle when it was driven by the elf monarch," Marilyn says with a wide grimace that doesn't suit her."Well, we can just buy some energy crystals," I say with a shrug."Yeah... that's true, but you don't understand how expensive energy crystals can be. There are different grades, and this carriage uses high-grade crystals," Marilyn explains, sounding a bit worried this time.Mmm... let me guess..."You're worried about the money we'll spend on those crystals, right?"

We share the same level, a revelation that sends a jolt of surprise through me."Goblin Master Rank 1? Same level as me, eh?" I mutter, unable to believe my eyes. In the next moment, I grab the hilt of my sword and draw it, preparing for what comes next."Kekekek~ Kekekek~ Foodoo~ Foodoo~" The Goblin begins uttering gibberish as it approaches me, a disturbing chant that sends shivers down my spine.Enveloping my entire body with aura, I charge forward, slashing my sword at the Goblin.

    "W-What... You want to go to the Death Valley?!" Marilyn asks me with a stutter, her eyes widening in surprise."Well, I am kinda bored, you know? So, I thought it was best if I head there today," I tell Marilyn while rubbing the back of my head, trying to downplay my restlessness."But we agreed that we were going to go together... W-Why do you want to go alone?" Marilyn asks, her fingers fidgeting nervously."Sigh... I told you, I am kinda bored of this place. I want to return home as soon as possible before going to Xyrus Academy," I reply again, my impatience starting to show."So, you've decided to attend Xyrus Academy just like your sisters, the prestigious academy of Treazerall? That's where I also graduated, and trust me, it's not fun," Marilyn mutters, glancing pensively at the sky."Since I am also bored, let's go there together," Marilyn says with a smile, her face slowly regaining its usual color.Her suggestion surprises me, and I can't help but smile in return.

It's a delightful blend of herbs and smoky goodness.As the Rabbits cook, Marilyn occasionally glances my way, her cheeks flushed from the heat of the fire and perhaps from something more than just the flames.
