Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 647 Lith Encounters Lucas

The notification shocked Lith and he stopped right where he was, befuddled with the current scenario.

ʼI thought I had seen everything, but this world never ceases to surprise me.ʼ He thought to himself and shook his head with a smile.

He wasnʼt even thirty yet but the amount of surprises heʼs been through were astonishing.

The first surprise started with him being a vampire, the finding out his mother was the Vampire Queen and eventually knowing more about this world and stumbling across his wives caused more surprises to occur.

There had been so many of these instances that Lith was starting to get numb to them. Thankfully, he wasnʼt at the stage where he was totally unfazed by things yet and thus had a normal reaction of feeling shocked when he saw the notification.

After the initial shock, Lith looked around to see who this system user was.

There was a sea of people lying down on the ground, unable to handle Luciferʼs pressure and finding the one was a bit difficult.

ʼSystem can you pinpoint the location of another system?ʼ Lith asked, trying his luck.

[Yes. Turn right and take thirty steps.]

ʼOh, nice.ʼ The system made it easier for Lith to find the person and he was in luck. He walked as per the instructions of the system and stood right in front a black-haired person.

Lith couldnʼt see the face of the person since he was lying face down. 

ʼThis is the one?ʼ Lith asked the system.

[Yes.]

Lith nodded and squatted down to see the guyʼs face.

As he did that, Lucas who was lying down in shock, suddenly screamed in his mind:

ʼNOOOOOOOOOO!ʼ 

ʼThis is the worst of the worst scenarios that could happen!ʼ

ʼIt wasnʼt supposed to be like this. The Vampire Prince wasnʼt supposed to see me until I was at least a Demigod! WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING!?ʼ 

ʼSYSTEM! SYSTEM! FUCKING DO SO—ʼ

[Detected: Hostʼs emotions are unstable.]

[Applying calming potion…]

ʼTO HECK WITH YOUR CALM—ing po…ʼ

All of Lucasʼs panic died down as the system put him under a potion. The system then applied a sleeping potion and put Lucas further into an unconscious state so that he wouldnʼt be aware of his surroundings.

Lith, who was squatting down, turned Lucasʼs face and saw his black-haired, black-eyed face. It seemed average and the guy seemed to be sleeping.

ʼDid he pass out due to auntʼs pressure? Or did he get a system notification like me as well and did something to himself to pass out? Weird.ʼ 

Lith rubbed his chin and pondered over what might have happened.

A minute later. 

ʼHeʼs a Rank 8, a peak one at that. In a few years heʼll probably be Rank 9. This guy has good potential.ʼ Lith was starting to have thoughts of taking Lucas on his side and making him a Royal Servant.

His mother went out of her way and made two hundred people high ranking immortals. They are now the Royal Servants, the strongest force owned by any family in the whole world.

Lith didnʼt have plans to do what his mother did since she already went through so much effort. She did all of this for him and instead of being an ungrateful son, Lith would use them and add more people into it to make it an even stronger force.

Lucas would seem like a good addition to it since he had the potential. However, a question popped up in Lithʼs mind.

Whose side will this guy be on?

Heʼs a Human and they loathe all races, including their own at times. If he couldnʼt stay loyal to his own people, chances of him being loyal to a Vampire are an all time low.

Not all Humans would be like Qingyue who, despite being a Human, would put her life on the line for Lith and his family, a bunch of vampires, if need arises.

Her commitment levels are way too high and the standards she had created are difficult to find.

Lith was thus questioning whether to think of recruiting this guy or not.

After a while of looking around and then at Lucas, Lith came to a conclusion of waiting and watching.

The Humans near his aunt were kowtowing in fear and that was only because they didnʼt want to die. 

The Human Supreme Rank hadnʼt shown himself yet, meaning either he was afraid of his aunt or he didnʼt want to have a conflict with her.

This meant that the Humans were powerless in front of Lucifer and submitted to her, despite loathing the Demon race.

Humans have the highest intelligence among all other races. Although it was good, it had a drawback which made their emotions highly unstable and more prone to changes than others.

Due to this, Lith felt it was best to watch for a while. Who knows this guy might as well be plotting to exterminate all races from this world other than the Humans. 

Bringing him to Nightingale would only cause more doom. If the system with this guy was powerful, he could very well topple this whole world. He was someone who needed to be handled carefully.

ʼSystem, does the system in this guy know about your existence?ʼ Lith asked, just to be sure.

[Answering Host: No.]

ʼHow are you so sure?ʼ It felt weird to get such an answer. The system that Lith had seemed too confident with its assessments.

[Answering…]

[The system the Host has differs fundamentally in the aspects such as…]

The system gave Lith a long explanation as to what was different and what the one Lucas had was.

Apparently Lithʼs system was basically a dead world. A world that was on the verge of collapse turned itself into a system and combined together with Lith to save its legacy. 

People could reincarnate but inanimate objects like a literal world couldnʼt. It thus had other means to continue itself, which was through a system. 

Lith possessed the resources, manuals, techniques, and almost everything that the world on the verge of collapse had. The only thing was, he couldnʼt see everything in one go and also couldnʼt get any resource he wanted.

There were only a select few resources given out for free at different Magic Ranks and most had to be either bought via gold coins or via trades.

This systemʼs purpose was to always uplift the host in all possible ways so that once he became strong enough, he could bring the collapsed world back to existence. It was a mutually beneficial relationship where both won.

As for Lucasʼs system, what Lith was told was that someone gave it to him and it wasnʼt a traditional one like a dying world. Instead, this system was made for a single purpose, and to fulfil that, it would go to any lengths possible.

Not to mention, Lucasʼs system still had some remnant will within it, which may probably be controlling Lucas. This wasnʼt good news for anybody and Lith dropped the plans to get him on his side for now.

Lithʼs system also told him that Lucasʼs system might be spying on him while Lucas was unconscious. 

Lith nodded in response to it and took the necessary measures to not appear suspicious to get away from Lucas and his system.

Once Lith was done with it, he went back to Lucifer and stood beside her, watching what she was doing.

The Human Emperor Ranks apologized to Lucifer and begged her to take her Devils away.

Lucifer felt their apology wasnʼt enough and being the ruler of Devils themselves, gave them a few conditions which they would need to follow. If they didnʼt, she would take no action and the Humans could watch their own race die.

The Humans panicked and instantly accepted the conditions, even though they were highly unfavourable.

After wrapping things up in the Human Continent, Lucifer teleported away along with Lith.

Reaching the Demon Castle, she went to her throne room and sat on the throne like the Queen she was. Lith stood beside her and simply watched what she was doing.

Lucifer crossed her legs and gazed down. She stared at the Abyss below the castle and snapping her fingers once, said softly,

”Return.”

A black whirlpool formed in front of Lucifer. It became bigger with time but after a while, slowly started vanishing and finally disappeared.

Lucifer slumped back on the throne after the Devils were put back in the Abyss. ”Phew, a lot of work today.”

Lith nodded from the side. ”Indeed. But you did everything. Hmm… aunt isnʼt as useless as I thought.”

Lucifer rolled her eyes and said, ”if youʼre thinking you can offend me or insult me with that comment, youʼre dead wrong. Try harder.”

Lith chuckled and walked close to Lucifer. ”It wasnʼt a joke. Anyway, my job here is done. Iʼll be leaving now. Have a good day.”

Lith kissed Luciferʼs forehead after saying so.

Lucifer responded by holding Lithʼs head and bringing his lips close to hers, eventually giving him a deep kiss.

Once she felt satisfied, she let him go and said, ”Donʼt bother to come back until youʼre a Half King. Otherwise Iʼll whoop your ass.”

Lith smiled. ”I am pretty sure itʼll be the other way round, just like how it is usually.”

Lith was referring to spanking Lucifer during their intimate sessions.

Lucifer got up and shook her head. ”You talk too much.”

She held Lithʼs collar and picking him up, continued, ”Now, get out. Let me watch anime in peace.”

Lucifer threw Lith down into a vortex and made him disappear. She then stretched and said, feeling lazy,

”Time to watch Defense of Dwarves season 5.”
