MIDNIGHT PRINCE: Empire of Sin

Natasha Antonovna Nikitina. She was one of Adam's best friends at the university and someone who was generally easy to talk to despite her great background.

When seeing her banter and trade insults with Sae on a daily basis, one would never even believe in a million years that she was actually a rich young lady from a prestigious family in the city of LA. She did not wear branded clothes when coming to the University premise, or in general to be frank, and while her car was quite expensive, it wasn't something so extraordinarily luxurious that people would stare in awe whenever she drove it in the public.

All in all, she was a person worth respecting who was down to earth and never lorded her status in her interactions with others. It was easy to see that she was someone from a great family from the olden times rather than from an upstart family of the modern era.

But, Adam would have never guessed that she was in reality a werewolf. A shapeshifter to be precise.

Affiliation: Great Wolf

Alias: Silver Princess

Race: Shapeshifter-- Werewolf

Age: 21]

Adam wasn't the only one to be surprised by the current situation.

Genesis had told him that now that he had opened all the minor chakra in his body, even if he were to use the Lock, it would change literally nothing as the people from the supernatural side would still be able to feel his Prana.

Moreover, since his Prana was in constant circulation thanks to his two main Chakra pathways,

locking them would actually be the cause of constant pain that would probably weaken him over the period when the lock was activated for.

Cecilia was also of the same opinion as Genesis about the usage of the Lock. Which now meant that the lock was a no-go unless truly necessary.

The time necessary to unlock his two main Chakra, after kickstarting it by deactivating the Lock, might be the difference between life and death in the future.

She asked him to keep The World, the main spiritual power that established his domain on reality, constantly active now in a passive format. This would heighten his response time in case of any dangers and would also serve as a form of training for him to prolong the activation of his ability and also make it easier for him to process information in real time.

For all the reasons above, Adam went from being someone normal for any human to someone clearly from the supernatural side in the eyes of those who were able to feel his supernatural status. And that someone happened to be his best friend Natasha.

"Adam..."

Natasha stopped when she caught sight of Adam.
She had been ready to greet him at first but now, she was looking at him with clear bewilderment.

Tension rose between the two as Adam saw the color of her emotions for him go from a friendly Green to a wary Yellow in real time.

"Adam! How have you been!?"

Someone jumped at him from behind. Adam nearly moved away by reflex, a perk of his training with his mother for the past few days, but stopped himself once he realized that it was, in fact, Sae-- his other bosom friend who recently also became his sex friend.

"Hi... You seem pretty chirpy today..."

Adam took away his eyes from Natasha and smiled brightly at the girl hanging on his back while directing a mischievous smile toward him.

"Hehehe. I am happy to see you. Also damn. Look at you. You finally decided to do away with the glasses, huh?"

He nodded to her words, "I am wearing a pair of contact lenses now. Seemed more convenient."

He wasn't. Yesterday, after much effort he had finally been able to stop his eyes from shining like he was some lamp in a dark passageway. Though they still shone when he used his powers actively it wasn't enough to be a problem.

Even though he was speaking to Sae, he was keeping his 'eyes' on Natasha. He was relieved to see that her color went back to green again in the meantime.

The color around Sae though was a coquettish mix of pink and red.

Affiliation: none

Alias: none

Race: Human

Age: 21]

He let out a sigh of relief inwardly. He didn't know what he would have done if Sae ended up being a supernatural creature as well.

This time, imperceptibly their sitting arrangement changed as Adam was sandwiched between Natasha and Sae. He would have liked to put Sae between them but he didn't want to use her as a shield in this situation.

"By the way, where is Al? He is rarely late like today."

"I don't think Alberto will be able to come today. His family seems to be quite busy and he needs to be there for them."

Natasha spoke quietly while giving Adam a look and then focused on her phone.

Sae meanwhile didn't seem to care very much even though she was the one to bring up the topic. Alberto wasn't a child and his grades wouldn't suffer just because of a few absences.

She was more focused on humming a little song. Right now she was wearing a more conservative dress than she used to.

It was a simple black skirt that went past her knees, something that was uncharacteristic of her usually flaunting self, and a beautiful white shirt as well as a white Cardigan.

"I guess getting laid really put you in good mood."

Both Adam and Sae literally choked a little at this explosive statement. She had spoken loud enough for the two of them to hear her words but not enough for the others to notice it.

"You told her?"

"I didn't have a choice..."

The two began to talk in hushed voices, clearly a little agitated due to the bomb she threw at them. Meanwhile, Natasha looked at them with a grin.

She had been a little wary at first, thinking that Adam was an enemy. But she realized now that he was no different from usual.

She didn't know what happened and why he was suddenly part of the supernatural world. But she could ask about that later.

Now though, she just wanted to tease her friends a little.

She just hoped that he didn't enter some weird cult. While she had nothing against priest-type supernatural beings, she knew that the vast majority either fell prey to old evil gods or outright devils.

They either ended up dead, crazy, or became extremely dangerous criminals.

The only ones who seemed to be the exceptions were witches and warlocks. But Natahsa would argue that witches were already quite crazy by definition.

Adam was a sweet boy and her dear friend. Someone she cherished deeply. It was her duty to make sure that nothing bad happened to him.

The three of them stopped joking around when the professor of the day entered the classroom but it was then that his phone buzzed. Multiple times even. Which prompted him to open the lock to stare at the assortment of messages that popped up on the screen.

[Sender: Yui

Adam, we will not be able to open tonight. You should stay at home and also avoid staying late at night for the rest of the week.]

[Sender: Natasha.

Let's go to a restaurant after school. We need to speak.]


[Sender: Sae.
