On a rainy day there were about 5 boys hitting another boy who looked very ugly. They looked 12 years at best. "You ugly bastard, didn't I order you to call me master!!" One of the boys shouted while hitting him with a baseball bat.
The boys brutally hit the kid without hearing his pleas
"Ple-Please fo-forgive me, I for-forgot" The boy was getting beaten, begged. "Too late you shitty asshole" They replied in unison. "I guess I will have to do the same thing to your mother" One of them laughed.
James, the boy getting bullied was someone who was regarded as ugly and hideous by the entire society. He was bullied from the time he went to kinder garden. But no matter what others did to him the adults overlooked it. His mother, the only family he had worked as a servant, so even if she complained it fell on deaf ears.
James was used to bullying and didn't resist. But when he went to middle school, there was Charles whose mansion his mother worked in.
Charles' family was one of the most richest in the country but due to his behavior with other students and bullying he was not accepted in prestigious schools so he had no choice but to got to public school. He knew James was the son of his servant, so he made him his next target.
James also knew this, but he didn't expect Charles to be so brutal. Even though he was bullied before it was not to this extend. Charles hit him with metal objects and even broke his arm. If he didn't listen to him he also bullied his mother.
But when he was 17 years old Charles killed his mother because she dropped a plate. James reported it to the Police but they dismissed it as an accident while clearly laughing. He cried his heart out, but soon the grief turned into rage. He decided to train in martial arts. For a whole year he only trained, until his body collapsed. He learned various martial arts in case Charles had bodyguards.
He decided to kill Charles no matter the consequences. But when he was going to find him some young girls were standing in front of his house. He was going to ask them what they were doing but suddenly they pushed him down and got in his house.
Just then Charles came in with the police and arrested him for kidnapping. The girls also told that James had kidnapped them.
James lost all hope in humanity. He found out that Charles somehow knew what he wanted to do and set him up. The cops crippled him as Charles had ordered them. He was then sent to prison for 12 years
He could use any of his learned skills. There also he was tortured and bullied. By the end of the 12 years, he had no teeth left, most of his bones broken and burn marks were all over his body.
When he was released he went out in a wheel chair. Outside he saw Charles standing with a gun. He knew what was about to happen. He regretted his whole life where there was not a single peaceful moment. He saw the whole Humanity as his enemy. He wished that the Entire human civilization was annihilated. These were his last thoughts
James did not believe in rebirth. He thought it was absurd.
However, as if trying to laugh at his face.....
"Congratulations, it's a baby boy"
The woman looked extremely beautiful, she had bright red eyes, pink hair and wore a loving look.
He was wrapped in a luxurious blanket and a female woman took him. But upon seeing her, he started crying in shock.
"Sh-She is a vampire, wa-wait then am I one too!?!?" He was dumbstruck
The vampire seemed to have a loving look, a look he had always been dreaming of for the past 13 years. He felt emotional, remembering everything again. He was thankful he wasn't a human.
"He looks just like me" The woman spoke "I still don't know what to name him"
She got up and took me outside. There were many people waiting, when they saw her they all rushed to ask her what happened
"Its a boy" She replied. Everyone exclaimed in joy "We finally have a legitimate successor for the Nightshade family" They exclaimed
"What did you name him?" A tall man asked
The man was atleast 2 meters tall, which a well-defined body and handsome look, at the most the was about 30 years old.
"I couldn't think of any names, why don't you name him?"
James hoped that they name him anything other than James.
The man thought for a second and his face lit up.
"Lucius. His name will be Lucius Nightshade."
"Lucius, what a beautiful name! It suits him perfectly," The woman exclaimed, her voice filled with admiration.
The nurse came out and asked the woman to rest.
She took James and went into a huge room. She placed him in a cradle and sat down next to him.
"Looks like this woman is my mother. Ahh I shouldn't address her as woman, but I don't really want to call her mom" James thought.
"From now on I am Lucius Nightshade. James is dead" He wanted to forget his past.
The man who named Lucius entered. He kissed the woman and took Lucius up. His behavior was completely different from when he was outside. He was more like a father. Lucius had never seen his father in his past life, so he didn't know what it was like to have one.
"Elara, he looks just like you" The man exclaimed
"Hahaha, ofcourse, no way your ugly genes will be given to my child" She mocked him playfully.
"Wh-What ugly!?!? Do you know how many women were begging to talk to me before I married you? The man replied feeling very proud.
"Well you better don't talk to them, Alaric," Elara responded in a creepy tone
"Yes ma'am" he answered jokingly
They were both laughing. After sometime he left. His mother also disappeared suddenly. "Did she just use magic" He was excited. Lucius was now alone. He didn't know what to do
"Didn't people get a system when they go to another world?" Lucius wondered hoping he had one.
"System?" He called in his mind. It felt funny now that he was saying it himself.
Suddenly everything went black. Lucius was in a dark space with a screen like projection. He saw humans of this world destroying other races mercilessly, torturing children and women alike, betraying their own kind, enslaving various races, while the rich and powerful living like without a care in the world harassing the poor who couldn't retaliate, Lucius understood that humans of every world were greedy and cruel.
But even though he saw many brutal scenes he didn't feel a thing.
"Is it because I am a vampire?" He pondered while those the screen was still running
Suddenly a system window appeared, It said, "Detecting host....Lucius Nightshade, System bonded", In a female voice
Lucius rejoiced that he had a system.
"Welcome Lucius, I am the 12th generation model of scientific experiment 0401 in the Alphexa civilization" The system responded emotionlessly.
"Alphexa civilization? What's that" He questioned.
"I cannot answer that, Host" The system replied.
"Now I shall explain the functions and information on this world"
Lucius was excited. The ends of his lips curled up.
"The World of Lorien is made up of many races, the most dominant of them all: Humans, They were far stronger compared to others. Even the combined might of all the races in Lorien could hold a candle to humans. But this was not always the case. The humans about 2000 years ago were the weakest race, but they were left alone by other races as they didn't pose a threat. But they slowly grew, yet the reason for their strength was not this but Starlight Quartz: a shimmering mineral that glows with celestial energy."
The System continued, "To understand this I will explain more about the power ranking of this world, The only thing that all races in Lorien have in common is the ranking system. There are a total of 9 ranks I can currently explain. It is called The Mortal Realm. Each rank has four stages : Early , Middles , Late and Peak."
"Starlight quartz is the most important material for faster progression of power. The humans discovered it first. The other races found out about it only when several rank 8 and 9 figures emerged. But it was too late, the humans now started their domination on the whole world."
"Thankfully the humans couldn't fully conquer the world due to the treaty between them and other races 2300 years ago for their protection"
"The time limit of the treaty was 2500 years, and it is going to expire soon. The 12th generation 0401 was made to either Annihilate or balance the power of humans"
"The host can choose any of the options and if you are able to complete he task you will be able to transport the humans of Earth to Lorien." System finished.
Lucius was took time to take in the information. But he got ecstatic when he thought about what all he could do to Charles. He could do anything he wanted to every single one of them who ignored me and bullied me. His face got weird even though he was a baby.
"I'll choose to annihilate them, how the hell am I going to balance them" He replied.
'System are they any rewards for me, like newbie gift or something" Lucius asked in excitement.
"No" The system replied nonchalantly.
".....Wh-What?? Nothing?" He replied with disappointment.
"The host will receive your first reward when you kill a human" System replied.
"Haaa....well that's better than nothing" He thought, "I wonder how long I will wait"
"Call me Host from now own" He ordered.
"Understood Host" System replied
"Should I say status window? ahh its too cringe" he said to himself
"St-Status window" He blurted out embarrassed.
The screen appeared in front of him. It said Status

"Whoa.... that is a lot stuff" Lucius exclaimed.
"Damn all most of my stats are 1. Is it because I'm a baby?" He asked himself.
"Wait.... WTF. Rizz?!?! seriously? and I have 0. Is the system playing with me?" he looked at the window suspiciously.
"Lets not think too much about the locked th-" he was abruptly cut off
The system suddenly spoke "The system will rank all skills based on its efficiency and difficulty to attain. Common < Uncommon < Rare < Epic < Legendary < Mythical < Ancient. Each grade has 3 stages for example Common- , Common and Common+. This also applies for artifacts" It explained.
"Hmm that sure is nice, but what is this domain creation?" He asked curiously.
"Domain is an enclosed space which the host can creates which ensure that anyone 2 ranks above your rank won't be able to escape and when host creates a domain with a skill, the skill will transform into a domain. When a person is inside this domain, their strength is reduced and the skill will be used repeatedly for 30 seconds." System explained
"Wow, that is overpowered, am I really the MC?" Lucius thought.
"Looks like I have to choose a resistance, since I am a vampire should I choose Blood?" he wondered.
"System, If I select one is it permanent? He asked.
"Yes, it is, but you can get more as you power increases" It replied.
"Hmmm, should I choose something that will help me defeat humans or something that will help me grow" he pondered.
"I choose blood" he told the system. "For now I have to increase my power within the vampire race before fighting humans, so blood is the best choice for now. Vampires surely use blood right?" He thought feeling unsure.
"Understood, now the host is significantly resistant to blood element" The system replied.
"Ok, Is there anything else left to choose?" Lucius questioned.
"Yes you have to choose your path" It said.
Suddenly a long screen appeared. Lucius was taken aback.
