Vampire's Slice Of Life



Lith and the others stopped in their tracks. They looked at the young girl, wondering what made her say that.

Having all the gazes on her, the girl felt slightly embarrassed, but cleared her throat and said, "that's a Time related ritual. If you step in, you'll be pulled into some distant timeline."

This information was really shocking and the girl knew everybody would be shocked to hear it and praise her for her knowledge.

But a few seconds passed and nobody said anything, just looked at her with an unamused look.

'What? What's with the reaction?' She couldn't help but think.

Pah!

"Ow!" The girl rubbed her butt and exclaimed, turning to Lith and glaring at him hatefully. 

"For a second we thought you were trying to warn us of something," Lith said with a chuckle. "But it's just a measly ritual."

'Measly? Measly!? MEASLY!?' The girl screamed internally. This goddamn ritual was even more ancient than her ancestors!

The girl's chaotic emotions didn't go unnoticed by Lith or the maids. It was fun teasing her like this. 

She might think this was something exceptional, but it wasn't. At least to the Royals. They all knew what it was in just a single glance and were fully aware when walking inside.

"This thing will take us not just in a distant timeline, but in the past. A past belonging to one of the two sitting there." Lith said with a smile, making the girl gasp.

How did he know!? She couldn't help but think. These were ancient secrets, one hidden away from societies, lest they befell in some vile hands and caused the collapse of civilization.

All these things Lith knew of was common knowledge. This ritual was something everybody had to be aware of. It was written in the magazine:

Public health and safety, edition #73.

Every hundred years, this magazine would come out with profound knowledge for everyone in the world. It was a big thing everybody looked up to as they contained various diseases, parasites, and harmful practices.

It was a thick magazine and was divided into many sections. The main races got one section each, then there was a section for everybody in general, followed by a few sections for some select minor races. 

Throughout the hundred years, research would be done extensively and then it would be made common knowledge to the public.

One interesting thing he got to know from the magazines was that, demons, when they mixed human blood with angel blood in the ratio 100:1, they would have what Lith liked to call: Demon Cocaine!

Literally, it was cocaine for demons. A drug so potent that no amount of rehabilitation worked. The only cure to stop the addicted demons from consuming it was to get them killed and reincarnate.

The world was in an uproar when they learnt of this through the magazine and were thankful to get access to such profound knowledge.

Of course, some people tried to make their own demon cocaine and thought a higher dose never hurt nobody.

They couldn't be more wrong. 

Even a mix of 100:2, which was just slightly more, killed the demons inside out, terrifying them.

A lot of demons died due to getting the wrong mixtures and thus, their addiction to cocaine eventually died out.

Lith heard from his mother that Lucifer was really amused by this news.

She went ahead to ask her grandfather for a drop of blood, but what followed was her getting jailed in the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor singing gospels of Light for 420 days straight while also sprinkling holy water on her.

The holy water didn't do crap, it just felt annoying. It was like someone was throwing dirty water from the gutter on Lucifer.

Lucifer was so pissed and hissed angrily at her grandfather all throughout the 420 days. She swore that she would beat this old bag of bones to a pulp someday!

Nobody knew his granddaughter better than himself, and thus in the last hundred days of the torture, Alex lessened the gospels and stopped the holy water sprinklers. 

He started talking to his little girl about the things she was passionate about, even though he had no clue what they were. He was just happy to include himself in the things she liked.

As for him torturing her for 420 days, the number 420 was something his granddaughter said was 'cool', 'vibe', this one time, so he just went along with it.

Anyway, this old dude was pretty good at managing his granddaughter. By the end of her prison time, Lucifer was happy and she spent some more quality time with her grandfather after getting out, even going as far as to give him a new haircut before leaving.

Fun stories of a genius grandfather gaslighting his own granddaughter to spend time with him, thought Lith, and chuckled. 

"Let's go, we gotta defeat the final boss." Lith said.

The Yellow Phantom was confused. "What final boss? Where is it?"

Lith pointed at the two girls in deep meditation and chuckled. "Their past trauma is our final boss." 

"What?"

"Completing this ritual is the key to clearing this dungeon. These two guys probably got stuck and the dungeon was never cleared." Lith answered flatly.

"Oh…" the loli thought it made sense and nodded her head.

Lith then turned to his maids and smirked. "You girls wanna make a bet?"

"What bet, Your Highness?" Luna asked on behalf of the others.

"A bet on whether I'll be successful in scamming those two beauties into being mine." 

The maids rolled their eyes. 

Qingyue at the side chimes in and said, "Your Highness, a more appropriate bet would be whether those two will become our sisters or our madams."

The other two maids nodded while Lith laughed out loud.

Luna then smiled as something clicked her and looking at the laughing Lith, said, "I have something else we can bet on."

"Hahaha, what is it?" Lith asked, still laughing.

This time Luna smirked and said, "Let's bet if Madam will punish His Highness after going back or not."

Lith's laughter froze on the spot, making the maids giggle.

An ominous feeling swelled up within Lith and his expression became grave. 'I need to save my chastity! A grown man like me can't be spanked by his mother, it'll be too shameful!'

Shoving aside everything, Lith pulled his maids into the ritual.

"WAIT! NOOO—" 

The loli cried out, but it was all for naught as she got sucked into the ritual.

She had no idea whatsoever about the things these guys were talking about and was pretending to be non-existent. The more these people delayed from getting into the ritual, the better it was for her and them.

This was a fucking dangerous ritual!

But this hateful pervert just had to jump in! She swore to the heavens if she got a chance, she would beat this guy up! Which sheep jumps into the wolf's mouth so willingly!?

.....

Ten million years ago.

Human Continent.

"NOOOOOOOOOO! MY BABBYYYYYYYY!" 

A red-haired woman wailed as chains surrounded her neck, wrists, and ankles. 

Her hands were held by two guards and no matter how much she cried out, nobody seemed to listen to her.

Mud covered the woman's body, the dried up tear trails were moistened again by more tears flowing from her eyes. A great amount of blood was leaking down the woman's thigh and had it not been for the single piece of linen on her body, there would be nothing left to humiliate her.

At the woman's side was a black-haired man, unconscious and chained like the woman as well. 

This man's chains were simple as well. Not heavy and containing a thousand talismans like the woman.

There were ten guards and a hundred villagers surrounding them, watching the scene unfold. Not a single person had a look of pity for the couple. Rather, it was disgust visible all over.

"Wake him up!" The leader of the guards, holding a newborn in his hands, shouted, making the guard beside the man to quickly slap the guy awake.

As the man got conscious and had a look, he screamed, "BASTARDS OF A THOUSAND FATHERS! I HAVE TOLD YOU A THOUSAND TIMES, SHE IS NOT COLLUDING WITH NO DEVIL!!"

The leader of the guards looked at the man with emotionless eyes and said, "it's the Imperial Decree. You had your chance to explain yourself and failed the trial."

"NOOOOOOO! PLEASE, DON'T DO ANYTHING TO

MY BABY! KILL ME! KILL ME! KILL ME! BUT LET THE BABY GOOOOO!" The woman continued to wail, this time so loudly that she was going to pass out.

The leader of the guard, still emotionless, said, "you will be executed, the colluder of devil. But fine, if this is your dying wish. I'll take this newborn to the Imperial Court and see what its fate is."

Saying so, the man gestured to his men to kill the two. The men nodded and took the woman inside the rundown shack, what followed were the loud screams and shrieks of horror of both a man and a woman.

This voice made the leader close his eyes and think, 'they didn't leave even a woman who just gave birth… these disgusting bastards…'

The shrikes died down eventually and the leader left with his guards for the Imperial Palace with the newborn in his hands.

The leader of the guard was just another cultivator. He wasn't a big shot, merely a small fry following orders of the Imperial Court. Whatever the rest of the guards were doing was not something he had in control.

These guards under him were actually the Imperial Princes and his friends in disguise. They tagged along and r*p*d all the accused women before killing them.

It was horrifying, but there was nothing this small cultivator could stop. It was a cruel world and despite being the tranquility era, things were hardly tranquil.

The leader knew this couple was innocent and were just being framed. They were being framed because the woman was a beauty and as per the Imperial code of conduct, the Princes were forbidden from touching any subject.

However, this code didn't apply to criminals and these guys were exploiting that.

The leader of the guards could only sigh. He looked at the sleeping newborn in his hands and thought internally, 'I hope at least you get to live a good life…'
