Vampire's Slice of Life

In the dark place lit by the shine of the immortal core, Lith was meditating.

It had been a long time since he began pondering over things and finding no way out, he got up and stretched to break the barrier in front.

Stretching his arms, Lith said calmly, "If I can't use my brain to get out of here, I'll simply do what Lucy or Alexandra would've done in this situation." 

Lith chuckled after saying so.

He was trying to use his brain to come up with a logical answer to get out of here. But there was nothing it seemed and now the only way out was to resort to using force and break the barrier.

Lith did have the thought about breaking the barrier at the start but he also had another thought that it might complicate things.

That shiny immortal core was really special and one of its kind.

All immortal cores were unique in their own ways and this one here, it even had all the elements associated with it.

This made Lith think that breaking the barrier might have some consequences and thus Lith didn't do it and thought of other ways.

However, there were none and now he could only do what he was trying to avoid.

Lith took a step forward and was just at an arm's length away from the barrier.

He took an attacking stance and exhaling and readying his body, he punched the barrier with all his might.

BOOM!

Just as Lith's fist touched the barrier, his mind went blank and his consciousness faded away from the dark place.

However, due to his punch, the barrier shook and a small crack appeared at the place Lith had punched this.

Through this crack, a silver streak of light, coming from the immortal core, escaped and shot straight at the vast darkness.

Lith's mind was blank.

There was nothing going on and he was feeling nothing as well.

There was no sense of time, there was no sense of touch, smell, nothing at all.

Lith felt himself falling down and down and down…

A while later, Lith became slightly conscious and thought after looking around at the dark surroundings, ‘What's happening…' 

Lith's thoughts were slowed down and he wasn't able to have super fast thoughts or link things.

It took him a lot of time to have another thought and it was:

‘Where am I?' 

Lith's thought process then slowly started speeding up and he thought, ‘Did I perhaps…'

‘…die again?'

Just as he thought that, memories returned of his life to him.

Looking at them and realising he might've died due to punching that barrier, Lith's mood was about to turn melancholic when he felt a sharp pain everywhere.

‘Oof. What's this pain?' The pain wasn't any he had experienced before.

He had been through harsh training by Lucy and his pain tolerance was really high. No amount of body damage to him would result in him saying that.

However, this felt completely different from having his body harmed as it his consciousness that was taking the damage rather than his body or soul and it was a first for Lith.

Lith had no idea that his consciousness was taking damage and he just felt sharp pain all over.

Soon…

Some of Lith's memories started fading and his consciousness was disappearing slowly.

Lith had no control over this and he could only just grimace in pain.

A while passed as this happened and Lith had almost only a little memory left.

These little memories flashed in front of Lith's eyes and he saw the two year old him running the castle, chasing after his mother, Lilith, and his older sister, Lucy.

Lilith and Lucy were laughing as they slowly jogged away from Lith. To them, Lith's cuteness was too much to handle and they were laughing in happiness as they tried him do his best to catch them.

Lith was running with all his might while Lilith and Lucy were trying to not simply walk with all their might. They were jogging so slow that it was almost as if they were walking. However, they didn't want to discourage Lith and acted as if they were running.

Lith had a frustrated look on his face as despite running with all he got, he wasn't even able to close the distance between them.<novelnext> For more chapters, please visit panda-n( 0 ve)l.com</novelnext>

However, in the next few minutes, Lith somehow closed the distance and caught Lilith's leg.

"Uwhaa!" Lith let out a happy cry but all that was heard was a baby's happy shouts.

Lilith bent down and held Lith's face in between her hands. 

"Fufufu… baby caught mama it seems." She said happily.

Lith smiled as he saw his mother's happy face. Lilith's bright expression was contagious and his previous frustration was all gone. He even forgot the fact that he only caught Lilith because she slowed down too much to not tire him and end this play.

Lith, with the big smile on his face, said, "Mama…"

Just as Lith saw his two year old self say that, he soon saw Lilith's figure disappear and Lucy who was behind him was gone as well.

Everything around Lith was fading and he was about to lose his last bit of memory as well now.

The current Lith, whose consciousness was disappearing, with his last amount of thoughts, said to himself with a smile,

‘It was a good life…'

Astral Realm.

"LITHHHHHHH!" 

Lilith and Arya shouted with all their might as they reached the base of the golden beam of light in which Lith was.

They rushed upwards and Lilith really had a very bad feeling about everything.

Arya may not feel it, but Lilith definitely felt her connection with Lith disappear slowly.

It was as if her baby was dying and being erased from existence. It wasn't a good feeling at all!

p、a,nd a-n、o、ve,l Lilith's worries were at their peak and if anyone, anyone even in the slightest tried to stop her or bother her, she had the resolution to turn the whole damn world upside-down!

Lilith flew so fast, she left Arya way behind her and as she was trying to reach Lith, a scene flashed in front of her eyes.

There was a being, one that appeared far more overbearing and mighty than anyone Lilith had ever seen. The being's presence made even Lilith feel like a lowly person.

The being was sitting on a mighty black throne and had their head legs crossed and face rest on their fist at the side.

This being… this overbearing and mighty person..

It was a woman.

Not just any woman, it was a silver-haired, purple-eyed lady wearing majestic robes and having a divine figure.

The face of the lady was far more beautiful than Lilith herself and one look at this person, one would feel that all their troubles were solved, their life's propose was fulfilled and everything was there with them to their satisfaction.

This overbearing and mighty figure, this being that appeared even more terrifying than a god, it was…

Lilith herself!

"Don't panic." The majestic being said.

The voice was calm and it was soothing to hear.

The current Lilith who was panicking and rushing towards Lith felt all her worries to fade away. But soon, she became conscious of it again and couldn't help but panic again.

Lith's safety really mattered to her and she didn't want to lose her baby at any cost.

Lilith continued to rush towards Lith with all her might and despite looking at Lith's figure in the air, she wasn't able to see him and the only thing in front of her eyes was the figure of the mighty being that was Lilith herself.

"My past self, I said stop panicking and listen to me for a second. There's a way to help him." The mighty and overbearing Lilith, or more correctly, Lilith's future self, said calmly.

"Huh?" Lilith stopped immediately as she heard that.

"Attack his core with all you've got and destroy it right at this instant. That's the only solution." Lilith's future self said calmly.

The current Lilith's brows knitted and she said "That would kill him. I would rather kill myself than do that."

The future Lilith sighed and rubbed her temples. 

"I am really a troublesome mother, not willing to listen to even my own self. My love for my children, it really makes me have trust issues even with myself." 

The future Lilith then sighed again and shook her head. 

"I guess there's no other way than to explain you the reasons…"
