I woke up in the morning in good mood.
I had got the power of stone which I wrote about in this world.
I put on the uniform and went to kitchen to prepare breakfast. Apparently today is my turn.
When I got to the kitchen. Aria was already preparing for the dinner.
"Aria today is my turn."
"Ah its ok brother let me do it today."
"No it's not good. Since it is my turn I will do it."
I pushed her away from the kitchen with a smile and started preparing the breakfast.
Aria sitting on the table kept looking at me.
"Umm… Aria is something wrong."
"Brother are you feeling ok?"
"Huh?"
"Last night you looked sad. Like you had a lot on your mind."
'She could tell?'
"Haha yes I am ok. Last night something did happen but it is nothing major and besides I am feeling ok now."
She smiled.
"Really that's great."
Marc and Aria have been living together for almost 3 years. I guess she can tell about her brother's state of mind after living with him for a while now.
"Moreover tell me about yourself. How is your school these days?"
"Oh just as same as before but you know at the lunch yesterday…"
Aria started talking about her experience in the school.
I talked with her on the breakfast. It is not so bad having a sibling. At the very least the home doesn't feel as empty as it did in my previous life.
After breakfast I went to the school.
I looked around the city. The city of hazel a completely man-made city on water. It is very big hosting a population of about 50 million.
For the most part it looks just like any other large city back on earth. The only difference is that this is the only place in this world where humans, elves and vampires live in harmony.
Occasionally you we see some people with pointy ears on the street. Vampire's appearance is pretty much same as a human except for their pointy teeth so spotting them is a bit difficult.
Speaking of pointy teeth, my ones are hidden. In the novel Marc's teeth only showed when he decided to drink blood. I guess it is some sort of Lord's privilege.
Going through the train stations I reached my school.
Studying in class was very normal. It was like I am just a normal high school student here.
Everything went normally until during lunch break when Sir Mason aka the teacher who knows about my situation called me to his office.
"Marc. How are you feeling?"
"Sir I am feeling fine. How are you?"
"…"
I guess my reply was strange. I am a bit nervous though.
"Tell me everything."
Mason ignored my awkward response and got straight to the point.
I took a deep breath and told him everything I remember about yesterday.
Marc went to mechanical district to meet someone but he does not remember who and everything after reaching there is a blank. Other than that Marc has no memories of that person.
"Umm… Is that all?"
I nodded.
"Yes."
Mason went into deep thought.
After a few seconds he looked towards me.
"So what do you plan to do now?"
I said after a second.
"I would like to continue my high school life… for now."
"Really?"
"Yes."
Mason said after a pause.
"Kid. If you want to continue your life as a student, I will help to keep your secret a secret. But just remember world is not a nice place. Even if you don't go to find trouble the trouble will come to find you."
He got up from his seat.
"You are a lord. A being who crushes others for its own benefit. That identity even without any power is more than enough to make others fear you. I am not telling you to become like other lords but you need to at least figure out what you want."
He paused.
"Alright. Go back to your class."
I nodded and went out.
The school life of Marc is very simple. He doesn't even have any friends.
Which is strange since there were 2 friends of Marc in the novel. One male human and a female elf.
I did not even see anyone with that description in the school. I know the male is a secret agent sent to keep an eye on Marc but there wasn't much information on female elf in the novel other than the fact that she helps Marc by hacking and getting info.
During my school day I was constantly thinking about how I am going to get the blood without anyone watching me. I want to keep my identity of being Marc the good boy at least until the novel starts. I will have absolute advantage if my enemies underestimate me.
I have a general plan of using the 'stone' to change my appearance and then suck blood in the dark of night. But still some questions keep bugging me.
'What if someone recognizes me?'
'What if someone is already following me 24/7?'
'What if they see me change my appearance? Can people see through walls in this world?'
Just in this thinking the day came to an end.
I left school and went straight to my apartment.
I changed in some normal clothes and went out.
I went to a nearby park's toilet.
Once inside I changed my shirt. I was wearing another shirt inside the upper one. I wore upper one on the inside and changed my appearance. I changed my hair to black and eyes to brown as well as a few adjustments to my face.
The 'stone' always makes changing appearance easy.
After that I went to nearby station and started my journey. My goal was to go as far as possible from my apartment.
After 4 hours I reached one of the 4 corners of the city. It would have taken me about 1 hour to reach here but I had decided to choose stations at random and cycle my appearance and clothes a few times.
It was a tiring and expensive journey but I finally reached my destination. The red light district. Every large city has at least one.
It was about 8 pm so there were not many people here. The night was just starting in the red light district.
I went to a remote alley of the area.
Near a large dumpster I found a broken mirror. I held it and looked at my reflection in the mirror.
I took a deep breath.
'Moment of truth.'
I closed my eyes and channeled the 'stone' to alter my body.
Slowly my hair started turning black and also growing long. Slowly my chest started increasing in size and I could feel my Excalibur slowly disappear.
My body, mass and skeleton was changing at a visible speed.
Thankfully no one was present in this remote area. And if all my hard work cannot throw off a stalker then I don't know what will.
After transformation I opened my eyes.
Red eyes, long black hair and fair skin. I seriously looked like a female, no I have become a female.
"Awesome."
Even my voice was that of a female.
In my own novel I first made the MC use stone to change into a guard and infiltrate a castle. Then I decided to make him turn into a female and seduce the commander because why the fuck not. I remember that day the comment section turned into a round table conference of a very important topic 'which part of female is most attractive.'
I smiled and put the mirror down.
My plan is simple. I am going to make a pervert follow me into a deep dark alley and drink his blood.
A woman will never follow a male into a dark alley but a man will always follow a woman into a dark alley.
I smirked while looking into the mirror once again.
'Now all I need is a lone idiot.'
