Due to the War between Humans and the Aliens, every person when they reached the age of 15 and 16 was required to go to an ability school for three years. Even though Humans and Aliens were at a peaceful period, everyone knew that it wouldn't last forever. In every three years, a selected few would be taken from the military academy to head for war. Once they are gone, not all make it back alive. Actually, there was a secret the military are keeping from everyone but according to a saying "The truth will finally be revealed."
Every day there was news of Aliens, antagonizing the human world and war felt like it could start again at any moment. In terms of technology, these aliens were more advanced than humans, in terms of weapons, they had the best of the best weapons. Actually, they make weapons out of their bodies. And that alone could make them strong against any human opponent. Meaning humans can't defeat them easily due to the weapon like body they possess.
Xin quickly went to inform Mrs Brenton about the call he had gotten from a sergeant and to his surprise, Mrs Brenton and her children were shocked as they heard that he'll be heading to the military academy tomorrow morning.
"How come? how is that even possible??" Megan questioned her mother. "He is an orphan, yet he receives good treatment than us." As soon as the twin said this, she hurriedly left the room.
"Get out of our house, I don't wish to see you anymore." Butch said, pushing him put of their room.
Mrs Brenton was silent but Xin could feel that she's angry and also lost in thought. To not cause any more problem, Xin left for his room as he prepared for the next day. He's no longer the Xin who would be bullied all the time by his guardian's children, he's now a military student. Although he felt like his plan to have revenge was fading as time passes, yet he knew it's best to get stronger first so he could enjoy the last of the humans he kills. Perhaps going to the military academy wasn't a bad idea. He won't only have his revenge but he will find out who killed his parents.
It was 9pm in the night and Xin was just about to sleep after arranging his luggages. It was at that time that he heard a knock on the door. He felt like something bad is about to happen and so he was prepared to give the enemy, either the twins or Mrs Brenton a taste of his fist. He won't care what happens to them since he's leaving them anyway. If he kills them, he could just hide their corpse till he leaves in the morning. And no evidence would lead to him that he killed anyone of them.
He opened the door and the two twins stepped inside his room, they closed the door behind themselves as they stared angrily at Xin.
"Do you think you are a celebrity now? Don't you know you must serve us till your death you crazy son of a bitch!" Megan shouted and the two kids started running towards Xin with knives in their hands. Xin could see it, these two kids are not normal, it seems like they were possessed or something. The black of their eyes were white with no other colour. Whatever possessed them was trying to kill Xin at all cost.
At that moment, Xin felt his eyes itching and he saw that it was glowing red like blood. But at that point, his mind suddenly went blank as he didn't know what was happening again.
The next morning the sun was up and Xin woke up all in pain. His head was aching tremendously but it wasn't that bad. He peeped through the window and he could see that a bus was waiting outside for him with a soldier standing at the doorstep. He quickly took his suitcase as he headed downstairs to the main door. He passed by the twins room and saw that they were asleep. Same for Mrs Brenton. He remembered what happened last night but he felt like it was all a nightmare due to how weak and tired he was last night. He thought maybe he was asleep and he had dreamt of the twins trying to kill him with knives. It actually didn't make sense to him and concluding that it couldn't be real, Xin quickly dismissed the terrifying nightmare.
Right now, he need to head into that military academy before any of the Brenton's wakes up.
"We've been here for over ten minutes waiting for you to get down. Why weren't you picking your calls?!" Sergeant Leo, a man with long grey beards shouted. He was also the sergeant who had called him yesterday. As soon as he opened the door, he had met with sergeant Leo's angry face.
"I'm sorry, I slept too late yesterday and slept past the waking time."
"Whatever." The Seargent said.
As soon as Xin stepped outside the sun, his body started itching as if he was attacked with a cactus plant. He was feeling sick and tired and could fall down at any time.
Suddenly, the system started notifying him of different things.
< You body is directly in the sun >
< –2 points of every stats >
< All stats has been reduced by 2 stat points >
< The Sun is affecting your Vampiric Cells and the User's safety can't be guaranteed>
< The User should stay out of sun for personal safety>
< New Daily Quest: Stay out of Sun for five hours >
< Quest rewards: 5exp >
< Each of your stats decreases by 2 every thirty minutes as long as you are in the Sun. While the cooling time is 15 minutes >
It means that if Xin stays in the Sun, his 10 points stat which would be 8 points stats will decrease by 2 points every thirty minutes, making it 6 points. The cooling time is the time when Xin recovers all his Stat points back. All at once.
Xin saw the new daily quest despite the way he was feeling and had decided to head inside the bus quickly before sergeant Leo notices his sluggishness. He had delayed them already, and seeing him walking like a crippled toad might make him request the dismissal of his admission into the Military Academy.
Finally, Xin had reached the bus that was parked just outside the gate of Brenton's house. Upon entering the bus, he noticed that the bus was occupying lots of students, those younger and older than him. There might be some from his school but it's not everyone that he recognizes, but there's a possibility of some of the ones in the bus recognizing him.
Xin sat on an empty seat that was close to the door of the bus. As soon as Xin entered the bus and avoided the sun, his body went back to the way it was and the pain he once felt had disappeared into thin air.
"I guess my body gets weaker in the sunlight which means that I'm something that can't survive much in the sunlight." Xin said before his eyes lightened up in amusement. "That means I'm a Vampire. Again!"
