Vampire's Slice Of Life

Lith and Emilia discussed a few things for a while and during this time, Lith realized that his ascension took a long time.

It had been around a day and a half since he started his breakthrough and there were also a lot of anomalies that occurred. Lith was surprised knowing all of these things and he assumed that they occurred due to him entering that strange gray world.

As for what Lith knew about this world, it was nothing. He had read many books and been on many forums but there was not a single mention of this world. Lith decided to ask about it to Emilia but she also shook her head and said that she didn’t know.

It felt a bit strange to Lith. He talked a bit more to her and knowing that she really didn’t know anything, he decided to talk to his mother about it. If she didn’t know anything either, then there was no one in the world who would know better. His mother was a Supreme Rank and a ruler of an entire race and continent. She would definitely know a lot of things.

Lith and Emilia talked for a bit more and it was finally time to bid farewell. They had spent a whole month together, tried a lot of recipes, had a lot of fun, and most importantly, they got pretty close to each other. They were good friends at this point.

“So, it’s farewell time?” Lith asked with a slightly sad smile.

Just like Emilia, he too enjoyed her company. It was fun corrupti– teasing this innocent and holy being. At first it was a bit awkward since Emilia didn’t get jokes at all and was very serious, but as time passed, and all thanks to cooking, she became much more open in front of Lith and it was easy to have fun with her.

Previously, she was maintaining her professional attitude in front of Lith since she was his teacher as well as the principal, but as time passed, all formalities were dropped.

Emilia let out a small chuckle as she heard Lith say that and said while patting his head, “why are you putting up such an expression, it’s not like I am going away forever, am I?”

Lith sighed and said to her, “we won’t be able to spend so much time together again.”

Emilia nodded and said, “that’s true. I cannot be with you at all times. But… I have learnt a lot in this past one month and I feel like there’s much more to learn. So, when I get free time, I’ll definitely spend it here.”

Lith nodded and said, “I understand.”

“I’ll see you later then.” Emilia waved her hand and said while leaving.

“Bye-bye.” Lith said to her.

After Emilia left, Lith sat down on the sofa and looked at the condition of his room. There were some small craters here and there but everything else was undamaged.

“Miss Emilia was exaggerating or what? She said there were a lot of explosions but I don’t see any damage here. Hmm… probably, she controlled the explosions and didn’t let it damage things much.”

After looking around a bit more, he took out his phone and dialled his mother’s number. The call got connected almost instantly and Lith heard his mother’s gentle and melodious voice.

They greeted each other and checked up on each other’s health. They then talked about Lith’s ascension and Lith asked her a few questions. He then came to the main topic for what he had called her and asked,

“Mom, you know, when I was ascending, I entered a strange world or strange state something, I don’t know what it was. But apparently, everything there was gray and I was in a meditative position, completely immobile. Do you know anything about it?”

“I do.” Lilith said simply.

“You do? Wow.” Lith exclaimed.

“Want me to explain it?”

“Yes, yes, please.” Lith said hurriedly.

Lilith chuckled and said, “Fufufu… I won’t. On phone that is. I am coming over right now.”

“Eh? Alright. That works too.”

Lilith hung up after Lith said that and Lith waited quietly to see her.

…..

At the base of a tall mountain.

Lilith and Mayzin were sitting close to a round table.

Lilith put down her phone and said while looking at Mayzin, “I’ll be back after a few hours.”

Mayzin nodded and said, “take your time. And say hi to him on my behalf.”

Hearing this, Lilith smiled and asked, “falling for him already?”

Mayzin stared at Lilith for a few seconds and tried to comprehend how Lilith came to such a conclusion. She then shook her head as it would be a waste of time to try and understand Lilith’s brain.

Mayzin looked at Lilith and said, “there’s no such thing and stop shipping me with him. I’ll never fall for someone so young.”

Lilith chuckled hearing it and said, “we’ll see about that. Don’t forget the bet.”

Finishing saying that, Lilith vanished from her spot without waiting for Mayzin’s reply.

…..

Lith’s dorm, Abalax Sky Island.

Space fluctuated a few meters away from Lith and Lilith arrived in his dorm.

She took a step forward and directly came in front of him and hugged him.

“Mama missed you, baby.” Lilith said and kissed Lith on top of his head.

Lith’s face was stuffed in her big bosom and had he not experienced this many times before, he would be suffocating currently.

He looked up to see her in the eyes and said, “mom, it’s only been a week since we last saw each other.”

Lilith shook her head and said, “no. It’s been a month or two. You only met me when you needed to drink blood every week. You didn’t hangout with mama much.”

Lith hugged Lilith back and said, “fine. Hug as long as you want then.”

Lilith felt happy when Lith said that and continued to hug him.

A few minutes passed and noticing that his mother was showing no signs of leaving him, Lith sighed and thought to himself,

‘The flow of time is really very different for a mortal and an immortal.’

Lith patted Lilith’s pat back and said to her softly, “mom, it’s been a few minutes already. If you stay in such a position, we won’t be able to talk.”

Hearing this, Lilith bent her body down and touched her face with Lith’s from the side. She swayed side to side and said,

“Five more minutes.”

“Okay.” Lith agreed and let her do as she pleased.

Five minutes passed and Lilith let go of Lith without him needing to ask.

Lilith held Lith’s hand and walked towards the couch and sat there after reaching it.

She crossed her legs and facing him, she asked, “what would you like to ask mama first?”

“The strange gray world.” Lith answered immediately.

Lilith nodded her head and said, “it’s called the Astral World. The material body cannot enter that place and that place is of a higher dimension than the one we are currently in. To reach there, one needs to have a very high comprehension and application skills.

Not everyone has access to it. The Supreme Ranks being no exception to this. Out of the sixteen Supreme Ranks present currently, only six have access to it.

That place is very special, to know more, you’ll need to explore it. But right now what you should know is that you need to comprehend laws well and only then will you be able to explore that world. If you don’t, you’ll stay immobile like before.”

Lith was listening intently and when he heard the last part, he looked at his mother suspiciously and asked, “mom, you were there in that world, weren’t you? You saved me from those two deadly weapons, right?”

Lilith chuckled and said, “Fufufu… I don’t know. You can keep guessing.”

Lith knitted his brows and repeated again, “it was you, wasn’t it?”

Lilith chuckled and said shrugging, ,”who knows?”

“Stop playing with me, mom. Please tell if it was you or not?” Lith said hurriedly.

Lilith grabbed Lith’s hand and pulled him again in her embrace. She held him by the waist and said,

“Coming back to the topic of the Astral Worlds. There’s only one plane in this place and the world’s are arranged in different places in this plane. Just like space and time, this plane exists everywhere and people from various different places have access to it.

The ones present in this place are the geniuses among geniuses and the fight for survival is very tough and difficult in this place. The plane has many territories and many rulers. There’s lots of benefits available there and naturally, there’s monopoly over many things by various clans and families.”

Lith pondered over what Lilith had just said and after a few seconds, he asked, “do you have a monopoly over there in something as well.”

Lilith smiled hearing it and like before, said with a shrug,

“who knows?”
