Vampire's Slice of Life

Ever since Lith came back from the Astral Plane, he had been feeling a threat for some reason.

This made him wonder about one thing.

What if…

What if there was someone stronger than his mother present in the world? What if that person ever tried to force himself onto his mother? What would Lith do then? 

He was too weak right now and if such a thing happened…

Just thinking of this caused a shiver down Lith's spine. This was his worst nightmare and he couldn't sleep well on some days when he thought of this thing.

His everything would be taken from him if he wasn't strong enough. He would be left so broken when that happened that he would crave death every living second of his life. He wouldn't be able to forgive himself if something ever happened to his mother and sister.

Thus, Lith seriously wanted to be stronger. 

When he came back from the Astral Plane, Lith recalled one thing from his past life.

In the many Xianxia novels that he had read, the main character never really knew, until very late, that there existed an entirely different realm than the one he was in.

There existed worlds that consisted of people far stronger than his own world and if they ever were to invade his small and tiny world, he was doomed.

Thus Lith had a thought regarding this. What if this world he was in was just hidden? Or maybe the people in this world just haven't discovered the other worlds yet._{pᴀɴᴅᴀ-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.ᴄᴏᴍ}

The latter half wasn't really believable to Lith since he knew there were many reincarnated Earthlings in this world. They had decent knowledge of outer space and someone must've definitely tried to discover the other worlds.

But as of now, there was no news of other worlds in this world. Despite being technologically advanced, the people here haven't discovered any other world yet.

This was definitely very fishy.

But yes, this made Lith's concerns even stronger and he felt a sense of urgency. 

He knew he needed to rush things and cultivate as hard as he could to be stronger.

Not only that, Lith also decided to be on the lookout for things that may provide hints for the other worlds. 

He wanted to know what the truth was. 

For these many reasons, Lith felt no remorse or pity for killing innocents such as the spiky blonde-haired guy in front of him.

Lith was selfish and this nature of his had been passed on him from his past life self. 

Every experience mattered and Lith was working hard just for that.

Lith looked at the spiky blonde-haired guy for a while and monitored him and the surrounding. Finding no threat to be present around, Lith dashed close to him and stabbed his spear in the guy's back and pinned him to the ground._{pᴀɴᴅᴀ ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ}

He ensured that the guy wouldn't be killed and also get pinned.

Lith quickly teleported in front of him and slashed his throat lightly, just making sure that his voice box was ruptured and he wouldn't be able to make any sound.

The guy was terrified and he looked at Lith with fear in his eyes.

Lith looked at him but didn't feel anything. He knew the guy would reincarnate if he killed him and if he did so with his memories intact, it would cause trouble to Lith.

He thus needed to eradicate him fully.

But Lith stopped himself from doing so as he saw that the guy's fear had gone and he was looking not at Lith, but at the picture behind him.

Lith turned to look at it and figured that it may be the picture of his mother that was killed by the Kenzal Clan members. 

Lith sighed, noticing this. 

Mother's were his weak spot as he too had one. He knew what the guy must be feeling and he could relate things with him.

But Lith had no choice but to kill the guy now.

Lith walked close to him but stopped the dagger in his hand just a few inches before his face._{ρꪖꪕᦔꪖꪕ(ꪫ)ꪣꫀ​ꪶ​}

Was it really the case? Did he really need to kill this innocent fellow?

Lith questioned himself.

Was there no other way?

Lith questioned again.

A few seconds of pondering made Lith realize that this wasn't the case. 

There was another way. 

pAɴᴅᴀɴ[0)ᴠᴇʟ He took out his phone and texted his mother, asking her a few things. She replied back instantly and in a few minutes, Lith was done talking to her and put his phone back in.

Lith had a mask on his face. He removed it and showed his true face to the guy in front of him.

The guy still didn't look at Lith and was just staring at his mother's picture with an emotional gaze. Tears were dripping down his face as he saw her.

Lith looked at him and said calmly, "do you wish to take revenge?"

The guy's attention was brought back to Lith when he said that.

Without thinking, the guy nodded his head repeatedly because he couldn't speak.

Lith then asked, "I'll help you get revenge. But…"

Lith bent down and raised the guy's chin and made him look into his deep purple eyes.

"…will you do as I say? Will you become my subordinate?"

The guy felt goosebumps as he saw Lith's dead serious eyes. It felt scary, yet so divine that it made him want to worship him.

He nodded his head right after repeatedly without hesitation.

Lith then healed the guy's throat and asked, "are you sure? Will you do everything I ask you to do without questions?"

The guy nodded and said with determination,"I will."

He still had a spear pass through his body and he was pinned down on the ground. But it didn't matter to him more than revenge.

Lith nodded and said, "then… are you willing to reincarnate?"

The guy fell silent as he heard that. 

Reincarnate… It was absurd even thinking about this topic. But…

The guy pondered for a bit and said to Lith with determination, "if I can get revenge, I'll do anything you say."

Lith smiled and said, "Good. Then you're going to reincarnate right now. Your memories will be intact, I assure you."

"Thirty years later, I'll come meet you and take you in as my subordinate. You'll cultivate well till then and after meeting me, take your revenge immediately."

The guy nodded his head and didn't ask anymore questions.

It was a good deal for him. He only needed to wait for thirty years and not more.

He knew that he really had no choice right now than to accept this condition. He was sure to die today in the hands of Lith whether he accepted or rejected this proposal.

So he decided to accept it. 

But Lith's aura and the overall charisma of his provided some assurance to the guy. He felt that Lith wasn't someone who would scam him and felt that he was trustworthy. Thus it cleared any last hesitation that he may have had.

Lith smiled and closed the guy's eyes with his hands. He then said to him, "I'll see you in thirty years."
