Julius had seen a lot of s.h.i.+t in his life, but not what he witnessed . f.u.c.k this . There were some things that was not worth dying over, even for an adventurer as strong as him .

He continued to shove his belongings into a suitcase while muttering to himself .

"f.u.c.k this group, f.u.c.k this city, f.u.c.k this weather, f.u.c.k these people, and f.u.c.k vampires . " He was out! And that guy…Seth's leader . He saw that transformation . "I'm getting the f.u.c.k out of here . I need a break . Maybe some dark elf company . "

They called themselves Alethian, dwelling in a nation known as Messalay . He hoped that rumor wasn't true about the once-peaceful race giving themselves over to the supreme demon lord . It was enough that they were an all-female race that relied on human men to seed them . Magically, the babies somehow remained pureblood . The last thing anyone wanted was them to become monster girls . Julius loved s.e.x, but he would be d.a.m.ned if he let a woman take away his dignity . Julius let his thoughts wander back to an hour ago as he locked up his suitcase . That pink-haired girl was…a Kitsune . Fox pseudo-ent.i.ties from myth . Insanity . He shuddered . She hurt, a lot but blocked out the pain, maybe ignored it . She was fading… That winged…angel, not…Julius didn't know what it was—but the monster seemed to be holding itself back . A war within himself—his little brother did call it leader .

Julius's eyes widened as he realized the answer . The Omen's sphere . He absorbed it and…Oh f.u.c.k no—he'd get the h.e.l.l out of there before they came after him . He could face them down when they weren't going all G.o.d mode .

That kitsune risked being erased from time—in fact, would've been dead if she took only a few seconds longer to accomplish whatever the h.e.l.l she did . But even worse is that…the G.o.d could've simply deleted her . Julius felt that ability . Why didn't he? h.e.l.l, why did Julius's so-called leader send him there? f.u.c.k this . He wanted no part of the taint and monsters internally fighting with it .

Julius made the Jump with his suitcase . He knew the Blood Servant watched him go . Fuyuko would soon know—as if Julius gave a f.u.c.k . He was no slave . He made no oath to the group . Only his own interests mattered .

The mansion…

"So the dragons didn't wipe all of you out," Alena said . "To think that you'd hide it from them . I didn't say anything because I do have respect for light deities, but you should consider—"

"No," Harumi interrupted . "I don't have much control over it . It's a miracle really, Clyde went easy on me . He wrestled for lucidity the entire time, stopping the taint from simply erasing me . " Harumi caressed the young man's cheek, dropping a tear . "I grew up a human—in fact I'm still human…I just can't control my other half . "

"Not your other half," Alena said . "Just you . I wouldn't be surprised if parts of you sometimes seeped out randomly during the day . Harumi, you must learn to accept yourself—"

"Do not lecture me, angel," Harumi snapped . "I risked a lot tonight . Was seconds from being wiped from existence, risked drawing in dragons, and still, two of the vampires remain . Turning into the kitsune is losing my sense of self, my human heart—and I wouldn't doubt I'd hurt my friends without caring a wick . "

Alena nodded .

"Very well, it is your choice . You were cute though . Such ears and tail could win any man over . "

Harumi glared at the smiling angel .

"Well angel," Harumi said . "You and I are now in oath . Do not speak of this . "

Alena placed a hand on the pink-haired young woman's shoulders .

"Your secret is safe with me . One day I hope you share it with them . "

"Two of us remain, angel," Harumi said with an icy undertone . "And we were never brought up properly . Remember that . "

"I will," Alena said .

Tuesday . Week 4 . Month 1 . Year 1 . Season: Autumn . Last week of the month…

[You have triggered Unsatisfying Sleep . Defense down by 35% ]

The sound of the alarm from his phone and in his head woke him… After all of the bulls.h.i.+t from the previous night, he was expected to just go back to school?

He decided, before moving a muscle, to inspect his stats because holy h.e.l.l did, he slaughter . Delayed prompts out of the a.s.s . The first one made him feel alarmed . So much s.h.i.+t was happening to him too fast—he needed answers as soon as possible . Just what is the Stone, its purpose? His lost family line… . Who is Tokken? A name…that popped into his head .

[Your full deity form has been sealed . Let it be known that it will not hold very long, probably no more than a week . The sealer has no idea that you merely accessed just 5% of your power . ]

[You have earned the t.i.tle Vampire Slayer . You have earned the t.i.tle, Ma.s.sacre Man!]

[You have nearly eliminated an entire vampire clan . Finish the job . Quest: kill the vampire king and emperor . Accept? Reward: unknown . ]

Clyde shrugged and just accepted . He felt this one should've been mandatory .

[Secret quest completed: Chika's revival with the help of the heavens . Warning: if anyone in your party dies, they will stay dead . It is a harsh reality that is best learned now before you leave this city . Reward: there is one more thing you must do to achieve it . Step 2: Chika's bane . ]

[You have gained 2 . 5 million EXP . 2 million dollars . You have reached levels 65-68! Several of your skills gained two levels! You have learned Tier 1 skill: Star storm level 1 . ]

Clyde sat up, not eager to deal with school…School . Something about that triggered an odd feeling . He made the redhead speak about her leaders before…

f.u.c.k, he really wasn't himself . And ONLY FIVE PERCENT? How overpowered would he become?

[You will be powerful enough one day to stand toe to toe with the Founders of Taint and Purity . ]

Ominous, Clyde thought . Hisa cried that information to him as well, that among the most powerful of the light and dark elements were taint and purity . s.h.i.+t that no one, not even the most evil motherf.u.c.kers, wanted to deal with .

Clyde could vaguely remember showering the previous night…well, getting thrown into the shower by someone . The water jolted him awake long enough to wash and dry off . It explained why he was currently naked . His life mate peered at him with loving eyes . Eyes that accepted him, no matter what .

In a flash, she melted into his embrace then they kissed .

"Could you promise not to go all evil overlord on us again," Alice said after they washed up . Clyde laughed .

Harumi looked worse for the wear, head on the table, barely looking up at them .

"Poor girl's got the worse of headaches," Yuki said . "I gave her something that should help . "

"Harumi, I don't know what you did and how, but…thank you for slapping some sense into me last night," he said . "I honestly have little memory of it, just vague impressions and fighting with a worse taint . I think it kicked my a.s.s this time . "

Harumi lurched from the seat, wrapping her arms around Clyde . He was a bit taken back .

"Don't scare me like that again," she said . "Please don't . "

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Harumi has increased to Absolute endearment, friend closer level 7 . ]

Absolute…? A fluke? Maybe Absolute and Supreme relations.h.i.+p levels weren't reserved for just dietic beings and ent.i.ties . He was sure he would've sensed that by now . And with all of the fight…the thought dropped .

Harumi faced him alone . She hid a form from them . Clyde had no choice but to honor her decision . Why hide it? He'd like to see what she looked like . How strange, she felt so human…right? What did it truly meant in this world to feel human?

He snapped to himself when he realized he was rubbing Harumi's head . Like a dog .

[Talent, Main character stuff: head pat . ]

Harumi seemed to melt into him, her face in a place of bliss .

[Your relations.h.i.+p with Harumi has increased to friend closer level 9, Absolute endearment, and ???]

Clyde's eyes widened, but he stopped, quite frankly unsure what to feel . For some reason, it didn't feel as embarra.s.sing as before . He hoped he wasn't becoming an embodiment of an anime main character . Too late for that, probably .

"Don't stop," Harumi said, triggering a loud throat clearing from Yuki .

"Could you refrain from s.e.xual activity in the dining room?" she said . Clyde cleared his throat too .

"No idea what you're talking about—anyway, we've got cla.s.ses," Clyde said . "Where's Melody?"

"She left with Maki," Yuki said . "Doing me a favor this morning . That grape-headed girl keeps asking to see you . Annoying . You know, I think I'll make you walk her on a leash . "

"One second," Alice said, "let me check on Mother . " She darted toward the back .

"And Chika?" Clyde said, forcing himself not to imagine Maki with a leash on all fours .

"Here!"

Chika dove into his arms . She was d.a.m.ned cheerful for someone who literally died the previous night . The young man wouldn't dare say that aloud though . She kissed him .

"Gooood morning," she said .

"Morning," Clyde said . "Hey, you sure you don't want to take a sick day off?"

"Heck no," Chika said, playfully . "Besides, I need to speak with Kiko . "

Alice returned to the room with a cupcake in hand . Sweets…very early . Clyde gave her a look . She smiled innocently .

"Shall we go?" she said .

"Yep-yep, hang onto your stomachs," Clyde said .

Harumi groaned .

The Academy… .

The dean grinned at Sazuki after he locked the door . He knew the look of defiance in her eyes was simply a mask . He smelled it . The scents he craved at last . Nothing would get in the way of this . A prepared meal that needed last-minute spices .

"My dear Sazuki, you've ignored the jobs that I've given you," he said then raised his voice to a dangerous low snarl, almost like an enraged father . "Do you have any idea what h.e.l.l I went through with that detective? I do not appreciate being accused of conspiracy . It is ludicrously—You…"

His cute little student council president trembled . The scent of fear oozed, palpable . Delicious .

"Your future…"

"Please," Sazuki said . "I've worked so hard—"

"Silence! You should've just done as you told, gave me what I wanted about the Clyde boy, so that I could've pa.s.sed that on to the detective . With nothing, mentioning him was pointless . I also can't do anything to Maki due to her family's influence . You have disappointed me, young lady . You have angered me . " He shook his head . "Scholars.h.i.+ps, Dean's list, the job I had with your name in mind—do you believe I can trust you with any of that?"

Tears streamed from Sazuki's eyes as he wanted . He wasn't interested in the s.e.x, not during school hours . But lunch . That was another thing .

Raising a finger, which she didn't suspect to be filled to the brim with vampire magic, he unleashed his spell . His fangs ached to be stuck into something…

[Hector Von Lin activated Concrete air whip . ]

The invisible whip bashed and slashed the wide-eyed girl into the bookshelf behind her . Large textbooks fell on top of Sazuki . And no one came .

"Thanks for the meal, human trash . "
