Zhi Shendra.
"It's been a while..."
Xue Ren thought as he was moving towards his office. This man gave him strong movement technique for a simple knowledge from Zero World. Xue Ren found it funny how simple knowledge like about internet rewarded him with Starlight Movement technique.
Soon, he finally arrived at his destination!
As he entered the room, Xue Ren immediately noticed the librarian. Young man could feel that Zhi Shendra just used several medicines as the smell was still lingering in the air. Also the healing energy was clearly visible...
"Something happened?"
"Hah! Yeah... some dude has killed first young master of Li, then took young miss from Di."
Librarian chuckled and so Xue Ren. Zhi Shendra corrected his glasses as he continued...
"Haven't you wondered why did the case with mythical beast was left for youngsters?"
"I have."
The man looked over the window. On his face a little irritation has appeared. With sigh he turned over to Xue Ren as he said...
"Vampires."
"!!!"
One word and it was enough to make Xue Ren's heart to beat faster.
Thump! Thump! Thump!
Then, Zhi Shendra has told him that their continent has been under attack by vampires for several centuries... They took the Zigzdra Continent for themselves and their next aim was the closest ones, Umanu and Drigdz Continents...
"The vampires have been quite a simple creatures. The purer the blood, the stronger can they raise their aura and make their bodies stronger. They can also drink to heal themselves and even regenerate their aura a bit."
Xue Ren knew all of this...
"But it all changed... with the introduction of 'Noble Blood Art'..."
Noble Blood Art...
The moment he heard those words, Xue Ren heart stopped and he lost consciousness as the memories from the past once again appeared inside his mind...
The young servant inside the noble library 'Crimson Library' was the sight that barely could be seen. Many looked down on him and insulted, but he took all of this bravely. No matter which noble, he bowed and payed the respect.
He treated them as the servant should. And the noble that he belonged to even better. It's all thanks to him that he could learn all of this knowledge. Young Endrun has been reading books about the races that specialized in body strengthening. Then, he moved his aim to the books about aura releasing.
He wanted to get stronger... get status and find a place for yourself and his mother...
The days passed and Endrun's knowledge got to the level of genius... One day, he heard someone calling him. That voice was magnificent and it wasn't because it was void of discontent or disdain. It was simply magnificent.
Inside the dark library his eyes shone with red light that sought knowledge. Althought dark, he could read easily. And because of this darkness, he didn't expect someone to call him. Anyway, in this place where mostly nobles spend their time, Endrun had to respond.
His eyes looked over the book he was reading and he immediately became petrified...
'Her Highness Maria V. Chrysan!'
Endrun became mesmerized by her eyes. They were red just like his and his mother yet they had charisma and light that could charm anyone... Because of those eyes, he could only look at her perfect face and her blonde hair that was flowing down neatly.
But soon, he understood his mistake and kneeled down. So low that his forehead was touching the floor. The princess looked at him without any emotion.
"You have been coming here everyday... Follow me."
As she said those words, young servant stood up and followed. He couldn't refuse or even think about her intentions. As lowly servant, he had to be obedient... no matter what.
2nd floor...
3rd floor...
4th floor...
5th floor...
He has never dreamed about coming here. Inside this place, Miss Maria simply took out one of the books and started reading. Endrun stood several steps behind her as he waited for orders.
"You have my permission. Immerse yourself in the knowledge that you seek."
Maria's voice reverberated. After a brief of hesitation, Endrun moved to the bookshelf. With his shaking hands, he took the book and just like Her Highness said, immersed himself in the knowledge.
His progress could be easily imagined.
Soon, Xue Ren woke up and whispered her name again...
"Maria V. Chrysan..."
Simply saying her name made his heart to be stung with several needles.
"One of the oldest vampire princesses."
Zhi Shendra voice surprised him. Xue Ren immediately stood up as he looked at the librarian. Completely oblivious that his eyes were deep red...
"So? What's your relationship with vampire princess?"
He asked him with usual, crazy smile. Xue Ren didn't know what to do. Zhi Shendra didn't kill him while he was asleep or at least didn't try... Sho Yue was still in her little black cat form after all!
"I don't know."
"Hmm... It looked like reincarnation's memories rampaged through you. But to reincarnate from vampire into human then change again into vampire? What the fuck is this?"
"...Aren't you going to kill me?"
His words made the librarian to look at him with strange gaze. It was as if he found out his words to be amusing. He corrected his glassed as he said...
"Do you think I am that stupid to kill every vampire, because I have met several annoying ones?"
"..."
"Kid, although I have never seen a reincarnator, I have read about them." He took out the book. "I have confirmed that you are reincarnator, albeit, strange one. About that strangeness of yours... It can be explained by two words - Zero World!"
The book had ancient look and also looked quite old. But Xue Ren still was wary against him. Such sight of Xue Ren made Zhi Shendra to laugh loudly.
"I hate vampires, but I hate even more those bastards who take me to fight with them!"
Zhi Shendra was simple man. He wanted knowledge. It didn't matter which continent he was in, but no matter where he went, there were always a bastards who annoyed him to the point where he would rather be in Bluedawn City. There, he at least had quite good relationship with Di. As for others...
"Fucking old bastards!"
