《The Aria Chronicles》Fake Funeral
Advertisement
Tong Tong Tong!
I was about to ask my mother for advice for accessing bloodline ability when I heard down bells from the clock tower.
“We will have to go now dear, we had to make arrangement for your fake funeral.” My mother said as she kissed me on the cheek with sadness in her eyes.
“I will come a few hours later ok love, you should get some sleep.” said my mother as she kissed me again on cheek, this time I saw tears coming down her eyes.
After giving a pat on the head, my father also left with my mother while I stood silently in the room, alone.
I knew I wouldn't be able to stay with my parents long after I come to know that I would be turning into a vampire.
The king of the Aumer Kingdom vehemently hates Vampires if any vampires found in the Kingdom, they were killed by local forces and Kings inquisition.
The king holds back a little if one was a member of noble houses, he will give them time one to two months to either dispose of their vampire members or send them away.
I am a member of the Noble house and my father is its head and my father is also friends with the heir of one of the most prominent families in the kingdom.
So, I could get a minimum of two months to max three months before the king sents his inquisition to hunt me and all this is based on a condition that my parents faked my death and outsiders did not know about me turning into a vampire.
Vampires are just another race while they do drink blood but they are not completly crazy about it which was depicted in movies and books on earth.
Humans use mana while Vampire uses blood energy while other races use other energies but no matter what type of energy they use, they will need to refine that energy through the Refinement Method.
The more purified their energy is, the more powerful they became and it also helps in leveling up quickly. Many times people are not able to advance a level because they did not have energy pure enough that required them to level up.
People use Energy Refinement Methods to purify their energies and these Mana Refinements Methods also give traits to energy like elemental, astral, etc.
The choosing of the Energy Refinement Method depends on many factors such as Bloodline, own preference and most importantly Grade of Mana Refinement Methods.
Mana Refinement methods are divided into five grades which are Basic, Intermediate, Advanced, High and Peak, the higher the grade Mana Refinement method is the more benefits it will give you.

First, are the foremost quality of energy, higher grade Mana Refinement Methods helps refine more pure energy and the type it gave to energy would be stronger.
Before turning into Vampire, I used to Mana Refinement an Advanced-Grade Method named Luminous Sea Method, It is an Advanced-Grade method from my father's best friend Uncle David’s Collection.
Advanced-Grade Mana Refinement methods are crazy expensive and rare that even my parents weren't able to buy it, to the families Mana Refinement Methods are a family jewel that they pass to the future generations and Higher the Grade of that Method is, the fewer people practice it.
All my family members Mana Refinement Advanced-grade methods but the one used by my father and brother is not suitable for me as it is a lightning type method and the Green (Wood) type method my mother Mana Refinement is also not suitable for me.
My mother's House had provided me an Advanced-grade method that is suitable for Water Nymph but unexpectedly the method provided by uncle David was more suitable for me.
The Luminous Sea method is the mana refinement was the Water and Light type mana refinement method but I can't use that mana refinement that method right now for one that method was specifically for humans and two the method was a light type which was very unsuitable for vampires who’s blood energy align toward the dark.
Being a Vampire, I now have to use the Mana Refinement method that is suitable for the Vampires and my father had many of them but alas they will not be Advanced-Grade Mana Refinement Methods.
My father likes to collect various Mana Refinement methods and seeing how he had killed many vampires in the war’s, he had collected many of their Mana Refinement methods, not only that he also has many neutral Mana Refinement methods which are suitable for any race to use.
After my parents left, I tried to activate my Bloodline ability many times but all my attempts were futile and made me very tired mentally.
Sigh! The past twelve-hour had been quite whirlwind and I sometime could not believe I am completely different magical, sometimes I just feel that I am still dreaming and would wake up any time.
Shaking my head off those thoughts I walked toward the bathroom. The bathroom is similar to the modern bathroom back on earth just the style is a little different.
I took the quick shower and got into the tub after adding a few drops of exotic flower essence.
“This is heaven!” I said a laid in warm water while exhaling the fragrance of an exotic flower.

As I laid in the tub calmly, I thought about my future in this world.
I can most stay for three months with my parents and after that, I will have to leave as my staying here will put all of them in danger.
All the other kingdom and empires won't treat Vampires this vehemently as this, as humans Vampires also divided in various factions and kingdoms and most of the kingdom allied or in best term with some vampire factions.
The vampires are just another race of this world like Ogres, Troll’s and Spirit (Beastmen) and other races. Like earth here is also everything depended on benefits, yesterday’s enemy can become a best friend today if both side’s interests are aligned.
My father had said that just because of his personal hate against vampires, the king had missed many golden opportunities that would have benefited both him and kingdom and despite its excessive behavior against vampires and losing of many opportunities, no one dares to talk against him as he is very powerful.
My father said that he is a Demigod I (King) Level Practitioner and could crush the combined force of all powerhouse in the kingdom single-handedly, that’s how powerful he is.
Those who have strength could do whatever they want while weaklings could only watch and get crushed.
I am not worried about where I will go as families of both my father and mother have vast connections, I am sure they will send me somewhere where I am absolutely safe.
After becoming a Vampire, I started to feel a little thirsty and I know what this thirst I am feeling for but this thirst can easily be controlled.
The blood is the food of the Vampire but if one doesn’t drink it it is fine also but many vampires drink it as not only it gave them the energy but it also tastes delicious too especially when it blood of powerhouse that is higher level than them
Seeing water getting cold, I get out of the shower and dried my body with the towel but when I stood in front of a full-size mirror, I could help but sigh.
This new bloodline of mine had increased my beauty too much, even supermodels would look ugly duckling in front of me, that's how beautiful I have become.
I am not supremely beautiful just because of my facial features and enchanting body but it also because of the mystical charm that my body emits.
I didn't know when but my mother had brought all my clothes from my room here.
I chose the comfortable cloths and wore it, normally when I sleep I like to sleep in my panties but here I can not do that for various reasons.
I am not feeling tired physically but mentally as everything happened these past twelve hours was really too much.
‘Love wake up!....’
It didnt take me long to fall asleep, my sleep was quiet and peaceful and I hadn't woken up if not for hearing someone calling me and feeling shake on my shoulder.
“Wake up love, you have slept for the whole day and it is evening now.” said my mother, hearing that, I looked at the window to see it is dark outside.
Seeing it dark, I woke lazily and went to the bathroom to freshen up, when I return from the bathroom room after freshening up, I saw a bunch of books and dinner plate on the table aside from my parents.
Grrr
My stomach made a sound as I saw the dinner plate and all of sudden, I started to feel both hungry and thirsty.
“Honey, you should eat a little. You haven't eaten anything since yesterday.” said my mother, if it were other time I would be too annoyed to eat while both of my parents looking at me but this time I was too hungry to notice their gazes.
This is my first time eating since coming to this new world, it both feels familiar and unfamiliar eating the food.
The food is very tasty, one of the best I've ever eaten. If not me eating under the gazes of both of my parents, I would have slowly, taking pleasure in every bite.
After eating dinner, I felt quite satiated in the stomach but that slight thirst is still there.
“How are the twins?” I asked my mother about my little brother and sister.
I have younger twins siblings, they are just three years old and the past host of this body had been very close to her siblings.
Hearing my question, my mother had massaged her temple slightly before answering my question, “They overheard about your death from maids before I could explain to them properly, I had use quite a lot of energy just to make them quite.” said my mother in a heavy voice.

Ætla Verǫld
AV Online was just a flash in the pan—a harsh, experimental land which lost most of its players in mere weeks. Only the dedicated few remained, carving out their destinies in corners of the vast abandoned world. Lily Quinn wasn't one of them. With a career worth millions in the esports world, she didn't have time for a game like Avo—but when an exclusive beta test for the new version showed up on her doorstep, she couldn't say no… as much as she wanted to. Literally hooked into the simulation, Lily reluctantly entered a world beyond anything she'd ever dreamed of. Accompanied by seven other beta testers desperate to save their beloved game, Lily dives into a vibrant, beautiful world, where mystery and adventure waits around every corner. Despite her reservations, Lily finds a joyful escape in Avo, shattering her cold, hollow reality. It was just a game though… until the group discovered they couldn't log out. Trapped in a game with no rules, and surrounded by cutthroat players eager to kill for a quick windfall, Lily and her ragged band have no choice but to fight their way out, or die in a game that has turned all too real. Hi there! I'm setting off on yet another adventure, come join me :3 Unusually for me, there's only one perspective this time, and it's quite a bit more action-oriented than I usually write. Don't worry, though: everything's still as character-driven as always, and I never get tired of writing dialogue. Just to acknowledge it up front: this story is heavily inspired by EVE Online and the many stories generated by that world. However, since this is a fantasy setting, not sci-fi, don't expect any real parallels. Chapter publish rate for this one will be whenever I write them, as with Epilogue. I don't expect to move as fast here though, since it's not for NaNo. The plan is chapters somewhere in the 4k-5k range, and hopefully frequently. The Last Science takes priority as always though. Special thanks to Reaver and Ace Arriande for pushing me to get this going, and to all my fellow writers whom I've stolen from been inspired by. You're all wonderful people and I love you Quick reminder: Patrons get to read ahead of what's published! Also, try my other works: The Last Science — A Tale of Modern Magic Epilogue — A Post-Fantasy Psychodrama What are you still doing on the synopsis? Get to reading!

The Cage
Mighty abominations and their more powerful gods dance between the galaxies in eternal migration, exploring, experimenting and playing. They leave destruction in their wake, heedless of the suffering of the sapients they slaughter, alter or drive to extinction as they toy with entire star systems for passing amusement. These monsters are called mankind. They are finally betrayed and defeated, but they cannot be killed. They are diminished and stripped of all memory of what they were, locked in a bottle reality on a false world called Earth. For thousands of years, mingled shards of their Broken Gods continue to chance across the cage that holds the species of their birth. The shards merge with suitable hosts to create empowered archetypes who awaken to supernatural Gifts and fractured dreams of a lost history. The greatest among them are magnificent heroes and villains: The Vigilante. The Mastermind. The Assassin. The Polymath. This is the story of their inferiors: The Beggar. The Homewrecker. The Gambler. The Henchman. The Miser. The Monster. Together, they will attempt to save the world, free humankind and escape the Cage. This will probably end really badly. *Cover art taken from internet source of free-use, uncopyrighted photos and images.
