Suddenly, Mr. Kain dropped a card on the table."That's my business card""Mhm?"Aiden picked up the card curiously. It was blood red in color with the emblem of two fangs crested on it."Crimson Bling Club?" he questioned after reading the address on the card. "That's my secret business place" Mr. Kain nodded. "Tch. Why are you even telling me all this?" Aiden dropped the business card, appearing frustrated. He felt that the other party was just using him to run around in circles. For him, it was very frustrating! "You are a naturally born fighter Aiden boy. If I am not mistaken, the Royal Academy is only limited to just a few spars.." Mr. Kain broke off into a crafty grin. "What if I can provide to you a stage where you can let your demon loose, with no restrictions whatsoever?" Aiden's ears perked up in interest when he heard this offer. "Explain clearly?" He demanded. "Hehe. Meet me up at Crimson Blind club tomorrow evening if you want to learn more" Mr. Kain pushed the b
After Rio snapped at Rochester, he turned towards Aiden who was casually in the middle of lunch. When Rio noticed the one person he just referred as trash, ignoring him in such a public place, anger welled up within him. "You've grown guts Aiden... To think you'd one day start ignoring me" Rio snorted. "Good" Aiden suddenly replied. "Eh?" "I never knew you were speaking to since my name isn't trash," Aiden shrugged. "You!!" Rio's eyes exploded with anger. "Hehehe. Indeed. Because you managed to become a student of the Royal Academy you now think you are all that?" "Ler me tell you what? No matter what happens, trash will always be trash," "No matter what sly method you used in sneaking yourself in, there's no way you'd amount to anything " "Scram" Aiden coldly stated. "You bastard!" Rio punched towards Aiden's face. Even though he couldn't yet coat his body with Beta Force, but his flesh and bones were still more sturdier than that of a regular human. If a regular human
"Hm? What are you doing?" Owling frowned when he noticed Aiden reaching for his pocket just as he wanted to commence his round of interrogation."I kind of have a cold, so.." Aiden gave an excuse as he popped ten Blood Pills into his mouth."That many?" Owling frowned.He had an inkling that Aiden's actions had suspicious motives, however he just shrugged it anyways as him just being Overly—Vigilant.—[You have received +100 Blood Drachmas]—[100 Blood Drachmas has been deducted to Counter Hypnotic skill]"Alright. What School do you attend?" he continued with his round of questioning.After asking Aiden three more random questions, he went straight to the the point."What were you doing yesterday after the end of school hours?"'Here it comes!' Aiden's heart skipped a bit.However he forced himself to remain as calm as possible. If his guess was right, he was supposed to be under the effects of the other party's Hypnosis.Although he didn't know how this was made possible since he di
"It is time" Aiden glanced at the clock on the desk in his room that tread the below time.. *7:48 pm* He had just finished taking dinner and had bid his goodnight to Mr. Xavier before going off to bed. But was he really going to do that? Stroking the business card that Mr. Kain gave him, Aiden sucked in a deep breath as his eyes flashed with determination. Some minutes later, he whipped on a black hoodie he found in the wardrobe before opening the window lightly. The mansion was 8000sq. fts, not to mention that Aiden's room was located at the top floor. If a regular human dared to jump down, the lightest injury they would receive was the dislocation of their leg bone. But for Aiden who was a Vampire, he saw no risk performing such a jump. Tap! After jumping down the window, he landed on the ground with a light tap, trying his best to be as stealth as possible. After glancing around and confirming that there was nobody in sight, he made his way towards the gate... "That Ba
Kelvin stared at Aiden in surprise. He was quite confident in the strength of his subordinate, yet this dude before him easily took care of him.Not just him, even the two bouncers has no choice but to look at Aiden in a different light."Hmph. You Bastard! What do you think you are doing?!" Kelvin snorted in anger as he pointed at Aiden before pointing towards his subordinate who was on the red carpet floor."How dare you touch my subordinate huh?!""Are you insane or something?" Aiden stared at the other party like he was looking at a lunatic."He attacked me first. What just happened was self defense""Hmph" Kelvin harrumphed coldly."That's because you were blocking my path forward. He was just acting under my command. You attacking him makes it obvious that you don't put me in your eyes""And why do I have to do that? Who the hell do you think you are anyways?" Now Aiden was mad and fed up with the other party's attitude.Fetching out the invitation card, he tossed it at the firs
"Congratulations Aiden boy. You are now part of the family " Mr. Kain patted Aiden on his shoulder. Aiden flickered his wrist, revealing a tattoo on his left wrist. It was the tattoo of a skull head with two elegonated canines. Instead of the skull to be white, it was instead crimson red and very wte catching. "That is the symbol of the Blood Reapers gang" Mr. Kain explained upon noticing that Aiden was observing the tattoo. "Make sure it is hidden. If the Sentries dare see it on you, I'm afraid that you won't like the end result" he added a warning. "Sigh.." Aiden rolled back the sleeves of the hoodie. He didn't know whether he had made the correct choice or not. "So what now?" The deed had already been done and there was no turning back now. "Return home for tonight. Tomorrow, Raya is going to to take you to our Tailor " "Tailor?" "Yes. Since the Sentries and LEA are always on our tail, it's natural that we disguise ourselves, to prevent our real identity from being expos
Aiden spent the rest of the day practicing with Butler Nicholas. Just like the latter instructed, he usually used the Klypt Gauntlets anytime he attacked. The goal was to become familiar with the gauntlets, like they were not just weapons but an extension of his limbs. Time flew by and soon, the sky began to slowly get dark "Because of your training, we missed lunch" the Butler shook his head as he glanced at Aiden who was panting heavily, the Klypt Gauntlets wrapped around his both hands. Since he was aiming to comprehend Weapon Force, he refrained from using any skills, opting for only ordinary slashes and swipes. "You are too damn strong, I can't believe that I wasn't able to land a strike on you, no matter how much I tried" Aiden shook his head as he sent the Gauntlets back into the System's In-built Inventory. "Did you make any progress?" Butler Nicholas asked. "No. But I feel like today's training wasn't a waste.." Aiden shook his head. "Very good. At least you are not
"This is the place?" Aiden stared at the building before him."What? Don't tell me you've never been to this sort of place before?" Raya scoffed as she got down from her bike.In front of them was a casino. At the top was a plaque that read:*Lavish Games and Thrills*"What are we doing here in a casino? Aren't gangsters supposed to be assassins, smuggling drugs or something?" Aiden scrunched his noise.From this distance, he could already hear sounds of loud lighters coming from the casino building."Well, gambling is one of our source of making quick cash. Hey, weren't you all-righteous a night ago?" Raya rolled her eyes."Tch"The duo walked over towards the casino however they were blocked by the two bouncers at the entrance."Hey Carson, you remember me right?" Raya winked at the bouncer at the left."You bitch. We've been strictly instructed not to allow you Blood Reapers bastard in. Scram now" the bouncer at the left replied with an unkind expression."Aw. Your boss is so heart
"This.." the newly arrived Kingsguard was about to put on airs when he noticed the familiar head on Aiden's palm, as well as the headless corpse besides him.He and his colleague had been both tasked to confront Prince Eragon during his march and apprehend him. A few moments before, they were both racing each other and now, his colleague was nothing but an headless corpse?! Shing!While the Kingsguard was still reeling from the shock, an ear piercing sword cry rang out as a sharp saber light stabbed towards him.Oge made her move.Bang!The runic symbols swirling besides the Kingsguard swiftly merged together to form a shield, blocking the sudden attack. The force of the collision caused cracks to appear on its surface.Whoosh!Oge disappeared from where she was standing, appearing mid air the next second as her saber stabbed towards the eyes of the Kingsguard. She was both merciless and direct.. not giving the opponent the opportunity to counterattack.Clang!The runic shield trans
It was unknown who let the cat out of the bag, but two explosive news rocked the whole Hidden Realm.. The first was that, General Jazz was still in a secluded retreat and the second was actually more explosive than it's predecessor.. The Crown Prince was nearly assassinated within the castle walls!!! No matter how General Jazz loyalist tried suppressing this news, they couldn't stop the several tongues wagging within the shadows. For a long time, the mere mention of General Jazz was like a butcher blade hanging over many of their throats. He was a tyrannical figure who wasn't merciful when it came to punishing those not on his side. Unfortunately no matter how dissatisfied they were, nobody dared revolt. However with the release of these two explosive news, the whole Hidden Realm experienced a transformation. "You shouldn't be parading the streets. By the decree of General Jazz you are to stay within the confines of your homes" a Winged Panda Man race member who was clad in worn
"Hmpfh!" slamming both of his palms together, a burst of blue colored flames erupted from the forehead of the Delegate that took the form of a Phoenix with a Qillin horn that shot towards the descending Lord Commander.Bang!The silver sword of the Lord Commander sliced the flame phoenix into two, while a curved sword light streaked towards the Delegate who held up both palms in front of him, creating a flame prison that protected him from the sword light.The collision merely made the flame prison quake. However it was a far cry from collapsing."A flame seed huh" the Lord Commander swiftly arrived in front of the Crown Prince as he gave the Delegate a sharp look.Although he tried hiding it, his brows creased in worry."Hmpfh. You lot think that we Delegates are soft persimmons. You think we are just skins and bones with only our brains having value" the Delegate spat hatefully as he controlled the flame prison with his hands, causing it to change shape into that of a gigantic sword
Bang!!A loud explosive noise resounded as the doors to a chamber flew past its hinges, blowing up into smithereens before it's many pieces crashed against the floor of the expensively looking tiled chamber."What messages do you have about my father? why didn't he just speak to me directly once he came out from seclusion?" the Crown Prince retreated his outstretched leg as she bouyantly walked into the chambers..Apart from the shiny decor of the chambers that could make Marie go crazy with greed, there was only a single soul present..Well, before the Crown Prince made his 'loud appearance ' that is. Unlike other Winged Panda Men, this was was far more chubbier and shorter. Not to mention, he was clad in yellow eastern styled scholarly robes and was lacking a tail. During the time when the Winged Panda Man race was still glorious and the world of Dystopia was still thriving, there was two distinct types of Winged Panda Men. The Warriors and the Delegates/Scholars.Just like th
When Aiden returned to the Strategy Hall with Nimara, whether it was Prince Eragon or his supporters, they were all pleasantly surprised. When Nimara personally pledged to support Prince Eragon, the banished Prince breathed a sigh in relief. It could be seen that he placed a majority of his confidence in the success of the Ancestral Ceremony. After much discussion, a decision was made. Aiden, Rin and Oge alongside one of the retired Kingsguards were going to accompany Prince Eragon to the Ancestral Tombs This was a counter measure Incase any of General Jazz loyalist tried to interfere. Also according to Nimara, the Ancestral Ceremony wasn't simple.. Prince Eragon could die if he didn't tread carefully. As for the rest, they were going to silently gather their forces. Once Prince Eragon returned from the Tombs, the rebellion was going to begin in full swing. "Are you sure you don't want me tagging along? I won't target her if that's what you are afraid of" Marie whispered to Aid
"How did it go?" Aiden had just stepped outside when he saw Marie giving him a curious look. "Were you waiting for me all this while?" he raised a brow while smirking in amusement. Before Marie could reply, she noticed somebody else coming out. It was the Maester! "She's agreed to help us" Aiden informed Marie who gave him a suspicious look. "Did you.." As if reading her mind, Aiden shook his head. "I didn't bite her. What do you think I am? a dog?" Rubbing his temples, he continued. "Let's just say, we both have a mutual reason for a partnership" Giving the Maester a look, he began making his way towards the strategy hall, intentionally hastening his walking pace to avoid getting any more questions from Marie. "What did she mean by the bite?" the Maester whispered to Aiden as they walked along the winding hallway. "Like I explained to you earlier, I am a Vampire and there are some of us capable of turning other people into one of us through biting them. I happened to be
"What the Hell?!" although Aiden had seen a lot of gore after obtaining the system, he couldn't hold back the surprised yelp. Instinctively blocking his face with both hands, the flying head was about to slam into him when something bizzare happened. The blood dripping from the Maester's decapitated neck suddenly seemed to have adopted an elastic property, extending towards the flying head before drawing it back. Right before Aiden and Marie's stunned faces, the head of the Maester got easily retached, leaving not the slightest mark or scar behind. It was like nothing had happened. "What are you?" "What the hell?!" The two Vampires screamed at the same time, causing them to give each other a look. "You first" Aiden shook his head weakly. "Did you just witness what happened just now?" "Oh yeah.. oh wait! yep you just sliced off her head. What the hell were you thinking just now?" Aiden rubbed his temples with exasperation. "You were told to interrogate the prisoner, not k
Aiden had barely recovered from the shocking statement when a snort suddenly rang out. "He's the one who killed three Kingsguards? looks like the Kingsguards have slacked off during General Jazz absence" Although the members of the Blood Dragon Legion who were present didn't understand what these words meant considering it was spoken in the native tongue of the Winged Panda Men, Aiden had the system which could automatically translate the language of the Winged Panda Man race. As for the speaker, it was one of three Elders present. Pretending like he was completely oblivious to the other party's remarks, Aiden gave Prince Eragon a look. "How is it going outside? Now that their Queen has been captured surely there are Soldiers patrolling every inch and corner right" "Actually.." Prince Eragon shrugged helplessly. "It is the opposite. It is currently morning and the news of the Maester's kidnap has not yet been in circulation.. " "That's good right?" Aiden rose his left brow.
When Aiden woke up, the first thing he felt was.. The itch.. followed by the burn.. And then the pain! —[Your Bloodlust Rises!]—[57/100] Sure enough, this system notification was the first thing he saw. Groaning dryly, Aiden noticed he was laying on a bed in an unfamiliar room. He tried rising up, only to discover that apart from the looming hunger pang, every fibre in his body hurt like hell! It was like a huge truck had just run right through a cricket.. and he was that cricket. "What the hell happened!" "Argh!" a searing headache hit Aiden when he tried going down the memory lane. "Am.. Am I sick?" Aiden was wrought with confusion when he noticed his vision slowly grow fuzzy. —[Your Bloodlust Rises!]—[87/100] Aiden was taken aback by the sudden sharp increase. He swiftly consumed a hundred blood drachmas, causing his stock to reduce all the way to three hundred. However even after he did this, it took about twenty minutes for his fuzzy vision to go back to normal, sam
