"Yeah! Yeah! Pummel him!"

 "That's what I'm talking about!"

 "Loser! get up and fight!"

 Entering the battle rambo building, Aiden winced in discomfort at the loud noises the audiences were making.

 Due to being a Vampire, his senses were more enhanced than humans. As such, the noise was amplified a hundred times over.

 It was as if someone placed a megaphone besides his ear and was screaming into it.

 "First time here kid?" the middle aged man who was walking besides Aiden, smiled when he read his body language.

 "Hm. I don't know how to address you sir" Aiden replied.

 "My name is Xavier. What's yours?"

 "Aiden"

 Mr. Xavier grinned.

 "Alright Aiden, let's get you booked up!"

 Leading the way, the duo arrived at a counter.

 "I want to book a fight" Mr. Xavier said to the female behind the counter.

 "Oh? what battle stage please?" the counter lady asked.

 Mr. Xavier observed Aiden for a bit before responding.

 "The Beta stage"

"Alright. Let me prepare the booking. Is your fighter a Magi? and what level is he?" the counter lady asked.

 "Uhm. I'm not sure myself" Aiden shrugged.

 It hadn't been that long since he obtained the system, so he didn't know how the power level ranking worked.

 "It's fine. Pair him up with a 2-star Omega Warrior level magi"

 "A-Are you sure sir?" the Counter lady swept Aiden with her eyes.

 No matter how she looked at him, she didn't believe he had strength comparable to a 2-star Omega Warrior level magi.

 Magis were divided into various levels, depending on their strengths.

 The Omega Warrior was the first level and it was further classified into 3-Stars Omega Warrior level, 2-stars Omega Warrior level, 1-star Omega Warrior level and Ultra star Omega Warrior level.

 "Are you telling me what to do now?" Mr Xavier frowned with displeasure.

 "N-Not at all!" the counter lady hurriedly prepared the booking roster.

 "Would you like to place a bet on the match?" she asked.

"What are the odds?"

 "Let me see.." the counter lady read through the bookings roster for a bit before responding.

 "3/1"

 "Then, I'll bet five thousand on his win"

 After making the payment for the bet, Mr. Xavier was given a betting slip. If he ever won the bet, he would be able to withdraw his loot by using the loot.

 "Your confidence in me is quite scary and at the same time suspicious. Do you know me from anywhere before?" Aiden asked as they made their way towards backstage.

 "Well, what can I say? I sort of find you unique and interesting" Mr Xavier smiled mysteriously.

 "Unique huh?"

 Arriving at the backstage, Aiden selected the gimmick he was going to use for the battle match.

 The outfit consisted of an elbow length fingerless gloves, a red headband with a skull emblem, body suit made out of latex and combat boots.

 "You look amazing. The gimmick suits you well" Mr. Xavier praised Aiden after he had finished suiting up.

"Tch. Too tight" Aiden complained.

 But he had to admit that the outfit also made him feel lighter.

 "Next Match! Bloody Kiddie Vs Macho Steel!" the sound of the announcer's voice rang, being amplified by a mega phone.

 "That's your cue kid!" Mr Xavier pushed Aiden out of the backstage.

 "Hm. Let me see what you are capable of.. kid with no sign of beta force" Mr Xavier mumbled, a knowing  glint flashing past his eyes.

.

.

 "Bloody Kiddie? what kind of sick name is that?" Aiden mumbled as he jogged towards the direction from where the announcer's voice originated from.

 Along the way, he passed by a combatant, ridden with bloody wounds as he got wheeled away on a stretcher.

 "Tsk" Aiden licked his lips as his eyes shone with a mad glint.

 -[Your Battle intent grows..]

-[71/100]

 When Aiden arrived at the battle ring, he saw his opponent waiting for him, arms folded as he enjoyed the praises of the cheering crowds.

 Macho Steel.. living up to his name, his opponent was 12fts tall, with bulgy meaty muscles.

Sporting bronze tanned skin that glistened with sweat, Aiden felt like as if he was facing off against a war god.

 But strangely, he didn't feel any fear. Instead, he felt a strong desire for battle.

-[Your Battle intent grows..]

-[87/100]

 When the audiences saw Aiden entering the ring, a string of booings ensued.

 "What is a kid like that doing there??'

 "Kid! step out of that ring. It isn't a playground!"

 "Is there even a need to watch this? Macho Steel is going to pulverize that kid in an instant!"

 Hearing the degenatory remarks flying around, Aiden smirked devilishly.

 "Wipe that grin on your face, are you looking down on me?" Macho Steel roared as he dashed at Aiden.

 For every mighty step he took, the ring trembled.

 "Eat my fist! I don't even have to use my mojo on a wet nosed brat like you!' he swung his big fist at Aiden's head, with the intent to smash it into blood patty.

 Many of the audiences licked their lips, anticipating the scene of Macho Steel, pulverizing Aiden's head.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as they pictured.

 Pa!

 To their greatest shock, Aiden caught the meaty fist with his small palm, that same devilish smirk on his lips.

 "Is that so?"

 Aiden twisted his arm, snapping the arms of Macho Steel into an irregular shape.

 "Uwaaa!" the hefty man staggered, while screaming miserably.

 "Eat mine too!" Aiden pounced on him, raining fast punches on his chest.

 Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow! Pow!

 At that moment, nothing but Macho Steel's chest mattered to Aiden. He felt a strange kind of exhilaration as he inflicted damage to his opponent.

 It was an addictive sensation. He just couldn't get enough of it. He wanted more. More!?

 "Stop!!" the announcer's loud voice rang in his hear. Due to being a Vampire, the sound was amplified a hundred fold, vibrating strongly in his head.

 Only through this did he manage to stop.

 Looking down, he saw that Macho Steel's chest was all but a disgusting mush, with all his intestines and organs exposed.

-[Congratulations. Host has completed side mission: Defeat First Contender]

-[Host will recieve the below rewards..]

-[1 skill]

-[5 Blood drachmas]

 However, Aiden was too frightened to even check the system's notification. Staring at his blood stained fist and the bloodied corpse underneath him, he couldn't make out a coherent thought.

 "I-I did this?"

.

.

 "You were really wild out there. Was that the side effect of your mojo?" Mr. Xavier laughed as soon as Aiden returned back to backstage.

 "Here, clean yourself up. It's gross to look at" he removed a white handkerchief from his trouser pocket, tossing it at Aiden.

 "I've done what you asked for. Isn't it time for you to keep to your end of the bargain?" Aiden skillfully evaded the question, while wiping off the blood on his fist and face.

 "Smart kid. I won't pry on your secret though"

 "As for the surprise, what do you think of yourself becoming a student at Nightshade Royale Academy?" Mr. Xavier grinned.

    "Nightshade Royal Academy?" Aiden repeated with skpectism. "Tsk. Tsk. It is an Academy owned by the Nightshade Country" Mr. Xavier grinned. "Say what?!" Aiden almost had an heart attack. "You aren't kidding withme right?" he asked suspiciously. In this current world, there were cities, counties, States, dukedoms, kingdoms, empires and continents. The Sentry Association was an organization that had jurisdiction over all Magis. Their counterpart were the Mercenary Fraternity, that often lived in the shadows. However, there also existed noble and royal power that ruled over their own regions in the world. Starting from the bottom were the Lords. They often ruled over hamlets and villages. Then were the Barons who ruled over towns. Viscounts were nobles and rulers of cities. Counts were nobles who ruled over counties. Earls were nobles ranked higher than Counts. They ruled over states. Dukes ruled over Dukedoms, Kings ruled over Countries, Emperors ruled over Continents.As for

    "This is the Academy?" Aiden mumbled as he alighted down from a black limousine. The sheer size and decor of the Academy's building was beyond anything he could ever imagine. Taking a look at the premises, he noticed that all the students came in expensive looking cars. From the grandeur of their movement and the dignified air surrounding them, even an infant could tell that they were all nobles. "Pheew. I can do this" Aiden took a breather as he sauntered towards the school building. At the lobby area, there were four platforms with plaques besides them. Freshmen Sophomore Junior Senior "Hm. According to my card. I am at the class D for the Freshmen Students" Aiden mumbled to himself as he followed a group who were headed for the platform with the *Freshmen* plaque besides it. "Though, I wonder what the platform is used for?" he mumbled with curiosity. As if answering his question, a male noble amongst the group stepped on the platform.As soon as he did, the platform got

    Not long after Nyx departure, a new teacher walked into the Class D. It was a female with dark spots underneath her eyes. Her lips were covered in black lip gloss and she was a devilish beauty. Comparing her to the maid at Xavier's house, Aiden shook his head. When speaking of natural assets although the Teacher before him was slightly above average, she didn't come close. "Good morning Class D! I am Lisa, your Geography Teacher!" "Oh. She has a beautiful voice. Not bad" Aiden mumbled to himself. "Hm.. Let's begin our classes then. Today's topic is going to be the distinction of regions.." Lisa began her teaching, which she did for over thirty minutes. If not for her beautiful face, many students (mostly guys) would've dozed off because of just how boring the Geography class was. Very soon, Geography class period ended and the next teacher took over. This time, it was a slender man with delicate skin and feminine features.When the females in the class saw this teacher, their e

    Aiden couldn't believe what he just heard. Xavier was the Country's protector?! "So, are you related to him in some way?" Charlotte asked. "Something like that. Hm? how did you figure that out? don't tell me your mojo is telepathy?" Aiden gave Charlotte a wary look. "Pft. If I had such a mojo, I would be in Class A, not Class D" Charlotte giggled. "As for how I did it, I kinda compared you both skin tone. Not to mention that you both have a dangerous vibe around you" Charlotte explained. "Ohh" Aiden nodded. Grabbing the syrup can, he splayed it on the french fries before tossing it into his mouth. -[Ping! You have ingested a harmful substance!] As soon as the system sent this warning, Aiden felt a sharp pain in his stomach. It felt like a scorpion was clawing at his guts. "Ugh!" he groaned as he held his stomach in pain, sweat trickling down his face. "Are you okay?" Charlotte sharply noticed the look of pain in his face. "I.. I think I ate something poisonous" Aiden stutte

    "Mold beta to connect to our mojo?" the Students murmured to themselves. "Watch" The Mojo Analysis Teacher brought out his palm. "Fire gauntlet!" A burst of brilliant flames wrapped his hands, reaching his elbow. "This is an hex I casted. My mojo is pyrokinesis or flames manipulation. By molding and connecting the beta force to my mojo, I was able to cast this hex" The flame gauntlet dispersed. The Teacher continued. "However for novices like you with limited amounts of beta force, casting hexes would easily sap away most of your beta force since you still haven't learnt control. And when that happens, your opponent will exploit such an opening to take you down. So it is advised to save your hexes for last, when you are confident in taking down your opponent with that single hex" "Now. To connect your beta force to your mojo recquires meditation. An intense one at that. Picture your beta force as a bowl of soap and your mojo as a sponge""Then try visualizing that sponge soaking

    Aiden stared at his clothes which were now soaked with the blood of the shriveled up corpses lying around. Lick. He moved his tongue, licking up the blood stained on his upper lips. For strange reasons, the blood taster sweeter than even the sweetest gelato he had ever eaten. Staring at his blood soaked clothes, he groaned. Anytime his bloodlust grew, a bloodbath always followed after. He had to think of a way to deal with his huge apetite to drink blood or risk alerting the Sentries or the LEA.

  • The Vampire System    Chapter 12 — Classification Of Geniuses

    "Talent often refers to the potential of a Magi's mojo. Starting from the bottom are.. Pawn tier talent, Rook tier talent, knight tier talent, Bishop tier talent, Queen tier talent, King tier talent and Demonic talent" "Just like it's name, a Magi possesing a mojo with pawn tier talent has a limit of only mastering two hexes in their life time. Not only that, their rate of comprehension is pitifully low, as such it is very rare to see a Magi of such a calibre surpass the Omega King rank. It's like waiting for it to snow during june" Charlotte giggled. "As for Magis with mojo having rook tier talent, the maximum amount of hexes they can master in their lifetime is three. Their rate of comprehension is slightly above those with pawn tier talents and their cultivation limit is the Gamma Lord rank" "Compared to the first two categories, those with Knight tier talents can master the maximum of six hexes. Their rate of comprehension is average and their cultivation limit is the Delta Warr

    "Demonic tier talent?" all of Class D stared at Aiden strangely. "Your mojo has demonic tier talent?" Nyx repeated with a bored expression. "Yeah" Aiden shrugged. "Then I look forward to your performance". . . "Does your mojo really have demonic tier talent?" Charlotte hurriedly asked Aiden as soon as he arrived besides her. "I think so. Although I'm not really certain" Aiden replied. "Now that you all have introduced yourselves and what kind of mojos you posses, it is time for me to move over to the next segment, connecting to your mojo" Nyx said, waving his hands, causing a stack of booklets to materialize from thin air. "These are Hex Tomes" He introduced. "Hex Tomes?" the Students mumbled, it was obvious that the word sounded foreign. "It is always said that the mojo of every Magi is distinct, yet there are many cases of Magis possesing mojos like fire manipulation, ice manipulation and the likes. Doesn't that contradict the popular saying?"The students of Cla

    Bang! Bang! Bang! The loud noise of heavy collision echoed loudly as earthen shards occasionally flew carelessly into the air. The premises of the dojo was now a deep flattened field. From a safe distance, two pairs of eyes intently observed the battle taking place as two fast moving figures clashed with each other, moving so fast that they appeared like quick sparks of light. Bang! A loud collision echoed as both fighters came to a tactic agreement, leaping back as they drew some distance between themselves. "Ah.ah.ah..." the Warlock tried regulating his rate of breathing as he intently observed Aiden, another glowing arrow already nocked on his bow. However if one observed closely, they would notice a silent quaking of his fingers. Under the span of seven minutes during their head on collision, he's managed to draw fifty shots and only fired twelve. Every time he tried firing a shot, Aiden would suddenly close the distance between them, causing the Warlock to abandon his att

    "Hey brat! what do you think you are doing here snooping around?" an unfriendly voice suddenly scowled, snapping Aiden out from his daze. A wry smile soon appeared on his lips when he noticed he was currently at the entrance of the dojo formerly run by Boss Kaine. How the hell did he even wind up here? "Bastard! are you ignoring me?!" Looking over, Aiden's finally discovered the culprit. It was three unfriendly looking men in tank tops. Besides them was an engineer who held a wide sheet of paper with a blueprint drawn on it. Aiden's attention was instantly drawn by the blueprint. "What's that?" curiosity got the better part of him. "Arrogant. I asked you a question and you dare reply with another question? who tht hell do you think you are?!" the ringleader flared up. "Look at his tattoo!" one of his lackeys called out to him urgently. All eyes instantly fell on Aiden's left wrist. Or to be more precise.. the tattoo.. It was the tattoo of a skull head with two elegonated

    According to teachings at the Academy, The way of comprehension is simple, but at the same time difficult as well. First, you have to sink your consciousness into your Neidan Region/ Conscious Paradox.. Every Magi has a Neidan Region within their body. Next, observe the various Neidan Strokes you find in your Neidan Region. Once you think you have comprehended enough of these Neidan Strokes, try visualizing the patterns like you are writing them down on your Hex Tome. if the Neidan Strokes pattern belongs to an Hex, it will be inscribed in your Hex Tome and a new Hex will be formed. And when casting an Hex, a Magi has to rearrange the specific Neidan strokes to form the necessary pattern, creating an hex pattern. Since their Hex Tome is linked to their Conscious Paradox, the formation of the Hex pattern appears within it. Once the pattern is completed, the Hex pattern flies out from the Hex Tome, manifesting in the real world, successfully casting the Hex. If the Magi's control or

    There was a stage in life where your mind wanders so far off, it would seem like the world had been put in a standstill and you are trapped within your own mind. This was called being lost in thoughts.. Currently Aiden had his back kissing the sheets of his bed as he stared dazed at the ceiling of his room, lost in thought and completely unaware of the crickets chirping or night owls hooting. In his mind, he was currently replaying the explosive truth he learnt earlier in the day. Apparently although he and the Blood Dragon Legion managed to defeat General Jazz and his cohorts, that other party landed an ultimate blow that killed him. As for the three months time he spent in slumber, it was called the Cold Slumber.. a state Vampire undergoes when they suffer mortal death. However according to what Marie told him, all Vampires who awoke from their Cold Slumber never experienced short term memory loss.. Aiden's case was bizarre and completely unheard of.

    When Aiden returned back to the mansion, it was almost evening time. As for his afternoon, he spent it on a casual stroll around Fenris City. Just like what Akira told him, the Blood Reapers gang had been completely overrun.. all their territories now belonged to the Red Sharks or the gangs affiliated with them. As for the Academy, he only observed the gates from a safe distance before leaving. He had no idea why he had been in a deep slumber for three months however one thing he could confirm was that a lot of drastic changes had occured while he was in slumber. First and foremost, all his acquired skills seemed to have reverted down to lv0 meaning he could no longer use them. Not to mention the addition of new stats. Last time he checked, there was no energy stat for his mojo. However Aiden had a feeling that whatever these changes were, it had to have something to do with the Hidden Realm of Hallowmere. The second biggest change was Xavier's death! "First my parents, now my

    "Tell me really, what the hell is going on?!" Aiden was starting to forget how many times he'd asked this puzzling question as he sat besides Akira inside a bar. "Want a drink?" Akira raised her glass at him, slushing the red content within. "No. I prefer drinking straight from the veins.." "Hmm.." Akira took a small sip. "Do you remember this bar?" her tone went serious. "Y-Yeah? Doesn't Mobby Steel run the place?" Aiden shrugged. Last time he checked, this Mobby Steel in particular was a member of Division Two in the Blood Reapers gang.. to be more precise, he was Alaric's subordinate. "Don't tell me there's an ambush lurking in the corner.. after all, Alaric has some beef with me.. and you just happened to be the root of it all.." Aiden squinted his eyes suspiciously. Ignoring his comment, Akira took a sip before she continued speaking. "Alaric deserted the Blood Reapers. He's now a Red Shark.." "Eh?" Aiden was taken aback.

    The sound of boot colliding with muddy soil made a disgusting squishing noise as a hooded figure walked across the sidewalk of a ghetto street. The skies above was cloudy and once in a while, a drizzle of rain would descend. Perhaps because their head was pointed down, the hooded figure ended up bumping into a group of three tough looking men. "Hey brat! watch it!" the one at the middle scowled. He had the tattoo of a roaring viper across the left side of his neck and a thick blunt trapped between his lips. "Walk away.." the hooded figure mumbled as they attempted to walk around the group. However, the three tough looking men were not having any of it. "You sure are gutsy brat" they blocked the path of the hooded figure. "You dared bump into Boss Kian? if you don't want to lose an eye, better kowtow, apologize and leave your wallet behind" the Thug at the left snickered while sneakily exposing the sharp dagger hidden in his pocket.

Tap. Tap. Tap. A red carpet was released from within the jet as a figure slowly but confidently stepped out. Sporting short curly silver colored hair, August was currently missing his fancy pair of glasses. Instead, he now had an eye patch covering the left side of his face while his previously supple skin was now a bronze tan. He was clad in black English suit, Oxford shoes and had his hair tied into a ponytail. He no longer looked like the typical teenage genius the public once knew him to be. It was like he had completed a difficult transition to become a man! Pwish! Pwish! Pwish! Quick fingered journalist instantly took quick shots when they saw August finally make an appearance.

    Kicking the ground with the back of her feet, Petrova leaped into the air, trying to draw as much distance as she could afford.. At the same time, she brought out three arrows from the quiver behind her as she nocked it on her bow, tugged and then released the strings.. From removing the arrows, all the way to nocking and then releasing them, Petrova's movement was fluid, fast and graceful. Boom Three red lights streaked into the clouds. Followed by a loud bang, about thirty red arrow lights descended down upon General Jazz like a meteor shower. Bang! Bang! Bang! The arrow lights easily shattered the dozens of fist images headed towards Petrova before losing all their power, dispersing into the wind as the three arrows flew back into Petrova's quiver. Just like the bow Petrova was weilding, these arrows were actually armaments as well. There was no way she was just going to just leave them laying about carelessly. However instead of being satisfied, Petrova's expression wen
