Vampire's Slice of Life

Mayzin scoffed at Lith's blatant flirting. She smacked the back of his head and said, "If you can talk, it means you're in good shape. Now get up, do the last rep, I don't have all the time in the world."

Lith chuckled at his aunt's cold remarks. He couldn't see her, but she seemed cute when scolding him.

Lith mustered up energy and finished up with the last push-up.

The training was finished and Mayzin let him take a break.

During his break, Lith planned out a few things for the future and relaxed for a while.

Once he was ready, he met his aunt and then went back to training.

SMACK!

"Stupid, you have to block!" Mayzin yelled after smacking Lith's head.

The two were sparring and Lith was supposed to defend against all the incoming attacks from his aunt.

Mayzin had suppressed herself to Lith's level and was attacking him every instant. She was the peak Space Path expert in this world and could easily zap around and attack.

Despite being in the same realm, Lith stood no chance whatsoever when fighting a true expert.

In his younger days when training with Lucy and his mother, he didn't have a Magic Core and sparred with them like a mortal.

There was no teleporting around, there were no using elements, and it was all raw strength and fights.

It was only in the academy did Lith train properly when sparring with Arya or Emilia. But, it was for a short amount of time and couldn't even be called training.

This one with his aunt, it was more serious and hardcore. She was not sparing Lith even for a single moment.

Lucy, Lilith, Arya, and Emilia… everyone had gone easy because Lith was far too young at that time and couldn't be forced too much to train hard.

The serious training now was out of Lith's expectations and was making him understand just how much room he had to grow further.

Whenever Mayzin attacked, multiple ways of defending against them would pop up in Lith's mind. Though, only one would work and the success rate was less than ten percent.

This meant, Lith was getting beaten up really badly in this sparring session.

It was alright to him because it was his mistake to have so many thoughts instead of a single one that could help him block the best.

Lith was trying to have less thoughts as time went on and let his body's natural response to danger take over and help block.

His reflexes were getting quicker and with each hit Lith was learning well.

…..

A year passed.

The strength and condition training was over with Lith learning a lot many things and getting his overall physique amped up.

Mayzin left him alone for a while and he reflected on the things he learnt while his body recovered.

He was beaten up far too roughly and his body needed time to recover from this.

While he rested, back in Nightingale…

Lilith was in the throne room, fulfilling her Queen duties. A part of her attention was on the maidservants discussing things with her while the rest of her attention was divided between her two babies.

Lucy was doing well wherever she was and in Lith's case, Lilith thought to herself:

'She sure went all out…'

Mayzin had not spared any efforts in her training and Lilith didn't know what to feel about this.

As of now, nobody had hurt Lith as much as Mayzin did, but she did it for his own good, so the feelings were mixed and conflicted.

Lilith could only watch with a sad face as her baby suffered, but thankfully, his condition wasn't as bad as Lucy's, so Lilith didn't feel the need to intervene.

In the last one year, Lucy had brought upon some serious trouble in another world.

The world she was in had a total conflict with the elemental energies and spiritual powers she had. Their way of cultivation was through eating magical herbs and growing.

All of Lucy's prowess were suppressed and sealed by the laws of that world.

Add to that, she was a divine beauty and the people of that world naturally couldn't help themselves from attacking her and ravaging her.

Thankfully, Lucy's foundation was too strong as a martial artist and the guys who had attacked her were mere mortals.

Lucy killed them in mere breaths, but these few moments were quite tense for Lilith and got her super worried.

Lilith planned to give Lucy a visit and take her out of that world, but she bit her lip and controlled herself from doing so. Her children had to go through this to grow and nothing could be done about it.

Lilith was once in their shoes and she was well aware of the days she had seen.

It wasn't sunshine and roses even for a single day despite getting adopted by a noble vampire clan early in her life.

The clan that had adopted her had done so solely due to her beauty. She was really beautiful and could be a good tribute to the then Vampire King.

However, Lilith had far too good of a potential and those guys ended up helping her cultivate. Her progress made her get to the top ranks of the clans and eventually she became the heir.

There had been lots and lots of trouble during this period with threats coming in from all sides.

The men had thoughts of defiling Lilith and hiding her from the King, but she was protected by the clan head, who was a female and the person who adopted Lilith.

Lilith's virginity as a vampire was precious and thus she was saved from getting defiled.

Lilith never forgot about any of this thing and secretly worked hard to reach the peak of power.

When did she become a Supreme Rank, even she didn't know as she was far too busy with everything.

The only major ascension she was aware of was the one to Legendary Rank. It was in this realm did she ended up having the World Spirit manifest into existence.

There was an instant beef between the two and the World Spirit didn't like her.

The World Spirit had no gender, but for some reason, just to spite Lilith, he ended up taking on the form of an old man and caused her trouble.

The World Spirit could never be an enemy of hers, but there was nothing that stopped it from causing as much trouble as it could to Lilith.

One day while travelling around and searching for ways in which it could trouble Lilith, the World Spirit ended up killing someone and mysteriously got an ability.

This ability allowed it to summon souls from another world and have them reincarnate here.

These souls all had something special on them as they came from the other world to this place. It was called an Unique Ability and as the World Spirit got light of it, it began summoning souls to cause trouble to Lilith.

The plan barely worked as a complete opposite thing happened.

The souls enjoyed their time here and actually assimilated and brought about great changes to this world, instead of preparing for wars and attacking each other.

The world thus got introduced to various types of culture and developed their own things slowly over time.

The Vampires adopted the Victorian Era themes from Earth, listened to classical music like sonatas, symphonies, and stuff, while the other races adopted other things.

The World Spirit was dejected after knowing they never caused any trouble to Lilith, but it didn't lose hope and continued to summon souls.

At the end of the day, the World Spirit cared for this world even though it hated Lilith.

Unique abilities were a good thing to have and the World Spirit was really wise like the old man's appearance it had taken.

The world would benefit from those abilities and progress, thus the World Spirit kept summing souls.

In any case, Lilith didn't give a single care to this as it was nothing but a joke to her.

She even forgot about the existence of the World Spirit for quite a good while as she was busy doing her own things and didn't have time to play with it, thus ignoring it completely.

She was going through her experiences and after finding her way of life, got pregnant and had kids. She was busy raising them and despite the experiences she herself had, Lilith was still very worried for Lith and Lucy.

Lucy somehow managed to survive in that magical herb world and was getting stronger with each passing, despite the many hardships.

She was a battle maniac through and through, but was forced to accumulate herbs and absorb them, making her slow down slightly. There weren't many battles and it was against her nature.

But she didn't complain and used whatever means available to her and get through this adversity.

Lucy's these troublesome matters made Lilith worry and her attention was slightly shifted towards her and not on Lith, thereby making her worry less about him.

At least Lith was in a safe place while training. Not to mention, Lilith had a lot of trust in Mayzin. She knew that Mayzin wouldn't hurt her baby in a damaging way, thus she never intervened.

Still, Lilith was sad to see both her children suffer. She couldn't bear to watch them like this and resorted to doing her duties as a Queen to divert some of her attention away and be calm.

Oblivious to all thoughts of his mother, Lith was relaxed and continued to reflect upon his lessons.

Once he was finished reflecting, he decided to take a nap and went to sleep. Just like that, time continued to pass further….
