"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

    "No more bets!" The Dealer suddenly announced as he began spinning the roulette wheel before tossing the ball in. All the gamblers held their breaths as they watched the wheel spin, each silently praying for the ball to stop at the number or group of numbers they choose. Spin. Spin. Spin. Time seemed to have slowed down as all eyes were on the spinning wheel. Pulock. It finally stopped spinning. However when all the gamblers saw the number it fell on, their eyes bulged in shock. "Number 1! It stopped at number 1!" a gambler sucked in a deep breath as he cast an envious but surprised look at Raya. — So lucky! The Dealer placed the puke on number 1. Removing the other chips on the roulette table, he handed Raya a cash note. "Once you are ready to leave the casino, head over to the cashier to receive your cash" "Hmph. To think you'd be so lucky" Laybron snorted with displeasure. "Heh. I told you I am the Queen of Roulette" Raya grinned as she tucked in the cash note into the c

    Monday Morning... Aiden woke up with lazy groaned as soon as he heard the alarm ring. After the incident that happened the previous night, he hadn't been in contact with Raya or the rest of the Blood Fiend gangsters since then. Recalling the altercation Raya had with Zabulon and the scene of her consuming his heart, he felt a chill run down his spine. He never knew there was such a side to Vampires. Hell! He didn't even know much about Vampires. Just then, he received a notification from the system. —[You have Sired a Ghoul!] "Hm?" Aiden was taken aback when he read the system notification. He sired a ghoul? When? how? Hell, he didn't even know what a ghoul was. "Perhaps the system is broken or something" he mumbled to himself. Pushing off these thoughts from his head, he headed into the bathroom to freshen up... When Aiden arrived at class, he noticed that the manner at which his classmates looked at him had taken a taken a mighty change. Walking towards his seat, he dropp

    Tap. Tap. Tap. Sounds of rapid footsteps echoed out loud as two figures walked down a long winding hallway. One of them was a middle aged man in English suit and well trimmed beards, who had the appearance of a refined tycoon and mogul. Walking besides him was a young lady in a silk blouse and office skirt reaching barely past her thighs. She had curly blonde locks and fiery red lipstick on her lips. "Say Sir. Bart, you appear very tired. Perhaps, I should give you a little massage while we are on the Raiver back to Fenris City?" the lady asked the middle aged man identified as Sir. Bart, with a coquettish tone. "Tch. I'm just too pissed off that's all. Although I won't miss out on your massage, my dear Elle. How can I say no to your magic-like fingers. "Heh. So, how was the 3rd degree Council?" the lady whose name was Elle asked. "Tch. My qualifications to become a Baron was revoked " Sir Bart replied with a scowl as he seemed to have recalled an unpleasant memory. "It was

    "What is the meaning of this?!" August brows creased as he scanned his eyes around, observing the twelve matrix pillars around him. He attempted to move only to realize that his movement speed came out far slower than he planned. "No!" he shook his head as he suddenly realized something. It wasn't just his movement speed that was being affected, he could also sense that the flow of his beta force was beginning to slow down as well. "You've begun feeling the effect no?" with her previously pale expression regaining its color, Captain Millie's Rune Cape appeared behind her as she took into the skies, looking down on the confused August with a sneer. "Basically you are trapped in the Diamond grade Rune Matrix, Twelve Points G Pole.." "D-diamond grade?!" August chest tightened. What the hell was this?! he just concluded battling an opponent with a delta level enchanted armament, now he was trapped within a friggin diamond grade rune matrix Although he had no idea what the capab

    "Is it just me? or does somebody else have to say it?" Captain Millie gulped nervously as her eyes were fixedly trained on the cloud of swirling dust in the distance. "You aren't the only one.. Captain Sarai's energy signature disappeared.." Captain High Valley balled his fist. Although it was a given that taking down August was going to result in serious casualties and perhaps death, it still didn't hurt less when it eventually happened. "Brace yourselves!" Owling's warning had only just rang out when a fast moving figure shot out from the cloud of dust. Although August seemed to be clearly using the Celestial Steps footwork, his trajectory appeared to be strictly linear. "To think he's already capable of utilizing the second level of Celestial Steps, Blazing Trail.." Captain High Valley's expression went ashen. "Now!" Owling held out his fist. At that moment, Captain Millie and a chubby male Sentry who went by the name Beau, suddenly shot into the air as their fingers perfo

    "Who are you and why do you look like me?" Aiden shot Nedia an accusing glare as he tried activating [Lightning Gauntlet] while adopting a fighting stance. —[Action Failed] "Impossible!" Aiden's expression went ashen. "Don't bother. As long as you are here, you are completely under my mercy.." Nedia clicked his tongue as he observed Aiden keenly. "Not bad. You got my looks.." he nodded in satisfaction. "What are you talking about? why the hell do you look like me?" "I look like you?.." Nedia's lips curled as his gaze became ruthless. ".. Ballsy!" With a single lift of his brows, a terrifying pressure descending upon Nedia as he got pummeled into the lake of blood. As soon as that happened, he noticed the entire scenery seemed to have experienced a transition. He was no longer in the red world, but in a countryside village like environment. "I.. I know this place!" floating in the air from above, Aiden's gaze fell on a smallish figure that bore a striking resemblance to h

    "Hmm.. from what you've told me so far about this Rio character, you envy him.." Dr. List observed Aiden keenly. They've been ten minutes deep in their therapy session and so far, she's succeeded in holding a two way conversation with him. For her, this was progress. "I envy the privileges he had. There was even a time when I wished to have his life.." Aiden shook his head self loathingly. "Oh? and why would you ever think of that? you have to know that no matter how it appears to be on the surface, nobody's life is a rose without its thorns.." Aiden's brows knitted as he adopted a serious tone. "Rio was different. He had everything I ever wanted.. loving parents who spent all their time doting on him, a confident social life.. if I started listing them I'm afraid I won't be able to stop.." "Hmm.. makes sense. However you mentioned parents who spent all their time doting on him.. do you mean to say they are dead?" Aiden nodded, causing Dr. List to exhale. "That must've been

    "He must be dead.." Captain Sarai's lips twisted into a grimace of relief as she stared at the cloud of icy mist before her a couple distances away. "It wasn't so hard now was it.." her victorious grin was cut shot when she noticed a fluid sliding down from her nose. Dabbing it with her fingers, her brows furrowed. "Blood?" at that moment, her vision suddenly became fuzzy as she nearly tripped before finally finding her balance. "Tch. It would seem that I am near my limit.. " she clicked her tongue regretfully before glancing towards the rising cloud of icy mist. "Luckily I was able to dish out serious damage before my fumes ran out.." "Oh really?" a mocking sneer suddenly echoed, causing a shiver to run up Captain Sarai's spine. She instantly stomped her right heel on the ground, initiating a backflip as she landed a dozen paces away. She had only just done that when a heavy and equally fast object slammed down on her previous position. If she had been any second later, no do

    "So I'm going to ask again.." Dr. List smiled briefly at Aiden. "Are you nervous because this is your first experience at therapy?" Aiden bit his lower lips. He appeared to be on the verge on saying something before pushing his lips as he nodded. Dr. List narrowed her eyes, easily seeing through his lies. "So I heard from your friend outside that you've been experiencing some mental nightmarish experiences?" Dr. List donned her professional face. "She's just exaggerating.. I was just having a bad dream. That's all.." "Heh.." Dr. List adjusted the rims of her glasses. "You aren't being completely honest with me. This surely isn't your first time experiencing this kind of trance like state.. am I wrong?" Aiden tried averting his gaze as his lips moved, obviously in the process of spewing another lie. However somebody else beat him to the punch. "Now, let's put that on a temporary pause and talk about you instead.." "Me?" Aiden was momentarily taken aback by the sudden transit

    "Huh?" the look of confidence on August expression soon disappeared a couple moments after. "What is the meaning of this?!" his expression went ashen. No matter how much energy he channeled into the longsword, not a single rune lit up. Forget partial activation, there wasn't even a single reaction. "What did you do?!" clenching his jaws in rage, he roared in outrage. "What I did?" "For somebody of your status, I thought you'd know about this fact by now?' the sneer in Captain Sarai's statement stroked August rage even more. "The situation is simple really. I have received the recognition of my artifact spirit, you haven't. As such no matter whether your enchanted armament surpasses mine in rankings, it won't mean shit. Right now, your enchanted armament is nothing but a useless hunk of metal.. " "No. No!" August expression fell. "You must be lying!" Channeling more energy into the longsword, a greenish halo surrounded its surface as an Hex Pattern appeared behind August wit

    Within the swirling cloud of dust.. Bang! Bang! Bang! A katana and a fist collided multiple times before suddenly coming to a stop as both opposing parties skipped back, drawing distance between themselves. "Oh?" August lips curled in amusement as he noticed the beads of sweat across Captain Saria's forehead. "Are you worried that you might cause more damage than good? don't worry I can tell that the runic matrix around us is sturdy enough to withstand anything you throw at it.." "... However I don't think the same can be said for me!" tapping his feet on the ground, August disappeared. "Hngh" flipping the hilt of her katana, Captain Sarai suddenly pierced it towards her right. "Nice try!" August suddenly arrived at that particular spot. The tip of the katana was merely a couple inches from piercing through his throat. However August footwork speed suddenly tripled as the blade missed him narrowly. Extending his right palm, he slammed it against Captain Sarai's face, as he sh

    "Seriously? you lot are just going to stand there staring at me like it's a contest? aren't you the upholders of justice?" August jeered mockingly, causing the Guild Captains to clench their jaws in rage. Fortunately all of them who were present were battle veterans. They could instantly deduce that August was merely trying to goad them into making the first move. Although his traitorous schemes were now exposed, that didn't make him any less dangerous. He was the Captain of an X-rank Guild.. an existence like that were rumored to possess the power to challenge an entire country without any foreign intervention. Although it was often regarded as an alligory, that went to show just how terrifying Captains from X-rank Guilds were. "Screw this!" one of the Sentries finally decided to make that first move. He was known as Loras, the Captain of a D-rank Guild. Lunging towards August, his storage ring glowed as a curved dagger slipped into his grasp which he slashed towards August n
