0.11
For the past three months, I had been burdened with this nightmare of a child. He appears like a reaper when least expected, and disappears into thin air when I most require him. Yesterday, he had turned 11 years old, as decided by Jacob and the nightingale, so as to “mark” a date that child of unknown origins came to exist. He was stolen of his first kiss by the nightingale, and I had presented him with a few clothes that I had bought from Gargol's at a cheap price.
But even after all this time, the nightingales have not found a single clue about where the boy had come from. However, his bloodline has been identified. A descendant of the extinct white saber tooth tiger, according to Jacob, but I had thought him to be the descendant of a regular white cat from his ears and tail that had become fluffy this past month.
However, the signs from the boy this past month made me completely agree with Jacob on his hypothesis.
After being ordered to eat, the boy will continue devouring until nothing is left in front of him, where a regular kitten could never be able to achieve that kind of appetite. Furthermore, the imposing feeling he gives off even as he sulks with his hunched back, points to a higher position up the food-chain.
I even felt hints of an aura revolving around him at times, especially when he is ordered to go all out as he practices the sword with the nightingale.
“Margaret.” A warm wind falls upon my nape, and in my surprise, I jump from my chair and stare at the blindfolded white haired boy, his ears unceasingly twitching at all times.
“Prefection! Did you need something?”
“Did you need me?”
“Uhh...”

“I answered your call.”
Also, this boy seems to have some sort of hidden power that reads thoughts. Without mentioning his eyes, this boy is a monster amongst those of his own age. It would be scary to see what this boy could do if he was let loose amongst the other children.
I stiffen my expression and look around me, searching for the white fluffy tail that had already disappeared from right under my nose. It seemed like all it took was a blink to make him disappear. I sometimes fear that he would appear when I am within the bath, whilst doing certain things.
Even though I have already gotten the displeasure of washing the boy, and seeing all the marks he has endured upon his body. Even Jacob could not erase all the scars and chains the little tiger carried. However, I doubt the boy will ever be free and unbroken, he has not changed ever since the nightingale carried him in from Jacob.
I fear for the future of this boy, and letting the nightingale adopt the child has proved to have been a mistake that all the villagers agree upon. With her, he will just continue to deteriorate from the path of recovery, if there was ever a path to begin with.
…
“Faster.”
Thud
“More complex”
Thud
“Less power”
Thud
The boy flew back, carrying dust along with him. His grip indenting upon the wood of the sword, as he launches himself back to the whirlpool of chaos.
I had been right when saying the boy will never be free. His prodigious leaps and bounds with the sword only continue to chain him down to that of a killer, and it is all due to the plan of that devilish nightingale that continues to press the boy even harder, as he starts to show signs of greatness. I really wish the boy had no talent at all.

The boy stops in the middle of his charge and lifts his head in my direction, his blindfold slips and our eyes connect. The boy stands in front of me, traversing a distance of over 50 meters in a single instant.
“Do you require me?”
He asks, but his dead eyes stare into my very soul and I feel his probing at every corner. He already knows my answer and my thoughts, so why does he still ask?
A smirk creeps up the boys face, and I blanch in surprise as I blink, only to notice the boy is back on the practice grounds facing the nightingale.
Has my sight started to fail me?

World of Alvarra: Rise of the Vampire Lord
Van was born a dhampir with memories of past lives that plague him. If he does not overcome them, he may face a slow descent into insanity. Growing up in a world where the memories of his past lives, clash with the truth of this strange new world. A world where women outnumber men to a large margin and are in control. Filled with magic, ki, aura, and creatures from other dimensions trying to break into his world to devour it. Will Van survive and thrive and make sense of it all? This is a story where I’m hoping to take some things and put them on its head. Everyone has heard of isekai about now, but has anyone ever really contemplated what it would be like to have voices, visions, or archaic ideas and views swim around a person's mind? We also hear about how the mc’s always gets the harem. But what if that's because there are more women than men and women are somewhat biologically different then the women we know from our world. Imagine a society where anyone can become strong and since there are more women than men, there are more stronger women than stronger men and now apply medieval history and a view that men are lower than women because the goddess made women in her image. And what if, the mc isn’t the only one with memories of past lives, and he meets some people who have been driven insane because of it? This is my first time writing a book and showing it to potential thousands of people. I won’t promise that my work will be good right off the bat. But I'm hoping that, with enough constructive criticism, I can provide an interesting read for all comers and improve to match and exceed the expectations put on me. The image used above does not belong to me. Warning! There is blood, gore, sex, and rape!(not anymore...) I may not be a good writer yet, but I will try to give a more realistic and authentic view of this world. This world and what you know of it will be of the view of the mc. So if something does not make sense to you, it probably does not to the mc ethier. Finally. For the sex or smut, scenes. I will hide them under spoiler. But you should not have to worry about it until somewhere around chapter nineteen or twenty, so if you don’t want to continue reading a book with sex, stop there. I will also be putting an NSFW sign in the chapter heading to warn people ahead of time. (all sex scenes will now be moved to my Patreon and scribblehub.) Thank you for reading and please help me become the writer I am hoping to be as well as the writer you all deserve to read from.
