Vampire's Slice of Life

Lith began discussing politics once the guy called Max asked him that question and blended properly with the group of five.

The discussion of the group attracted quite a few people who were dissatisfied as well by the current administration, and thus began a ranting session.

Lith got pulled deeper into the conversation and he let himself be as there were certain things he wanted to know from this bunch of people.

While he was busy trying to solve the problems in the Elven Continent, completely opposite things were happening in the Human Continent.

Ancestor's City, Raizen.

In the Human Ancestor's court, a secret discussion was happening between the top most officials of the Human Race.

However, amongst the officials, there was an odd one out.

Sitting at the very first seat close to the Human Ancestor, this odd person was none other than Lucas, the system user.

After failing to have an all elemental affinity, Lucas was depressed. But being experienced and a seasoned warrior, he collected himself and worked hard to prevent the apocalyptic mission given by the system.

As per the system, the duration of the apocalypse had been shortened and this wasn't good news. At first Lucas didn't feel much pressure, but he repeatedly got three notifications in just a year's worth of time and this concerned him greatly.

The concerns for the future made him forget about the setback and move. He went on to kill a teenager that possessed five elemental affinities that were completely different from his own.

Lucas was now a one of a kind person in this world with ten elemental affinities. Although not an all elemental being, having ten was still pretty solid.

With this potential, he finally entered the Human Continent and met different authorities. He started from the bottom and once the Ancestor got wind of his potential, he was brought straight to the top.

Due to his years of experience, Lucas didn't need to think much on what he needed to do to impress the Human Ancestor Darren Whitter.

Once Darren became impressed, Lucas ensured to do more things to impress him even further and get closer. All these things led to him securing a seat in the Human Court and he was now an established official of the Human Race.

Lucas became a newly appointed member of the court but it wasn't official for the time being as Lucas was just a mortal. Once he became an immortal, he would officially be given everything an Emperor Rank powerhouse had.

Although it was envious, his ten elemental affinity was something that made the powerhouses even more envious. They all felt it was only correct for him to have such things due to his potential.

Lucas was someone who would become an Emperor Rank sooner or later, they all thought and let him be in the court.

By being in the court, Lucas brought many reforms that made the humans benefit in just a short span of a year. His position solidified further in the court and everyone started taking him seriously, Darren included.

Having the status now, Lucas called for a secret meeting today and everyone had thus gathered in the court to see what Lucas had to say.

Since everyone was here now, Lucas got up from his seat and after making a formal greeting to the Ancestor, he addressed the court,

"Ladies and gentlemen, I understand that time is precious for all so I'll try not to waste it and get straight to the point." 

Everyone nodded their heads hearing that. Time was indeed precious.

Lucas continued, "So long story short, I've called for this meeting because I noticed something very interesting. Something so important that if we put proper efforts into it…"

Lucas's eyes shone with seriousness as he took a pause.

"...the balance of the world may topple." 

Everyone in the court, Darren included, raised their eyebrows in surprise. The words Lucas had just said, they wouldn't have taken it seriously as Lucas seemed just like a kid, but they knew they had to as he had deemed himself worthy by his past actions.

Darren stroked his long beard and before others could speak, asked Lucas, "What do you mean by it?" 

Lucas turned to face Darren and after giving him a bow, answered,

"Ancestor, in the Elven Society, things have become unstable. If I am not wrong, the people there are planning to overthrow their government." 

"What!?" Few Emperor Ranks rose from their seats and asked in shock.

This was all time big news, not just for the Humans, but globally. An entire race was planning something so big and that too, against their own overlords? 

How did they have the balls to do something like that? The Emperor Ranks in the room couldn't understand and became shocked after knowing it.

Darren showed his palm and gestured to the people to sit down and listen to Lucas fully.

Lucas, continuing to look at Darren, said, "As of now, things are at the initial stages so you may not find a lot of things. However, to show proof to you that something indeed is cooking there, please have a look at this." 

Lucas took out his phone and with the help of magic, projected the screen out to make everyone have a look at it.

There was a video that Lucas wanted the people in the court to see.

In that video, there were two Viscount families who were clashing. One of them was the Scalanis family and the other was their rival.

Lucas was there at that time and actively took part in it.

The humans were in the court were surprised and once the video was finished, Lucas addressed,

"Although I understand it doesn't show anything other than two families clashing and might be normal noble conflict, I can say with assurance that such a situation is just the spark that's going to set the whole race on fire." 

"We need to take measures at this point and ensure that we benefit the most out of it. As things are in the early stages, we can actively take part and meddle with them. Once the situation escalates, the Elf Queen is going to involve herself and it wouldn't be good news for us."

"Fret not, the Elf Queen won't do anything until and unless the society seems to be on the verge of collapse. In the Elven Society, people are free to do whatever they please and she couldn't care less about the common people wanting to topple the government."

"Only when the times are dire, will she involve herself. So yes, it would be in the best interests of us to involve ourselves right at the early stages."

Lucas tried putting forth the plan in which the humans could dominate the elves.

Humans weren't the dominant race in this world, they sure were one of the main eight, but weren't the one above all. Since time immemorial, they had dreamed to be on the top but saw no signs of something like that happening.

Lucas hit their sore spot with this news and rekindled the dormant spirit of world dominance within them. He gave them a ray of hope and waited to see how they'll react to it.

Everyone was quiet and thinking things through. The court noticed a pin drop silence and after a good few minutes, Graham, Darren's favourite Emperor, rose from his seat and said,

"If he's right, this opportunity will bring us great prosperity and…"

Graham talked about the pros and cons of things and unknowingly, chaired the discussion.

For the next few days, the Human Emperor Ranks and their Supreme discussed only about the Elven Society and finally at the end, came to a common consensus that they should not let go of this opportunity.

Back in the Elven Continent, Lith on the other hand, after roaming the streets and talking to many commoners, realized that things didn't seem to be good.

The commoners disliked the nobles in this society and the hate seemed to be growing with each passing day. Plus, the establishments of the upper nobles forbade the lower ones to enter in them and this brought more friction into the society.

Lith was sitting in the one of the courtyards of the Elven castle and was going through some papers that he made during his visit regarding these things.

It had been just a few minutes since he sat here and tried analyzing them when…

"Little cousin~"
