《Xenos The Abysmal》Shadow
Advertisement
After a long nap, it was now late in the afternoon. Xenos decided that he would ask about his bloodline and went to his mom, Eden.
Searching for his mother he instead found the head maid, Elena, with her long ponytail tied with an orange ribbon, like always.
"Hey Elena, do you know where my mom is?"
"My cute young master, you should know that Milady is currently resting in her garden." She said looking at the adorable silver-haired child.
"Um thanks, see you, Elena." He said scurrying away.
He went to the indoor garden which was in the middle of the castle encompassed with glass where his mother was usually relaxing. After passing through thousands of flowers in the center was an open area with a structure surrounded by pink and white flowers. The attractive 5 dense petals holding on as a spiral has a unique smell, like no other flower, some smell sweet or spicy, others smell like jasmine, peaches or citrus. As Xenos stared at them he remembered Eden's words.
"Xenos, my love, these flowers although beautiful in appearance and have a smell like no other, possesses a poisonous, milky sap, they are just like some people. Just know that you cannot trust everyone, that appearances should not be mistaken for truth."
"Stupid flowers, at least they look nice," Xenos said.
"Host, why does your mother have these flowers around her?"
"How would I know?"
Xenos continued walked to the structure absorbing the wonderfully fragrant smell. The structure constructed from wood had a traditional design that exudes a warm-village feel, in which you can appreciate the coziness it brings to the garden from its presence. In the middle dozing on a sling made of fabric suspended between two points of the structure, was a ravishing beauty resting in it. The silver-haired woman had on a burgundy blouse with a brooch, a white skirt, and black tights, with her thigh-high white boots laying on the wooden floor.
Xenos came up to the sling and called out, "Mom, I want to ask you something."

Eden woke up rubbing her eyes, "Dear, what is it, do you wish to join me?"
"No I don't, I wanted to know about myself."
Tilting her head she mumbled, "Interesting, you are going through puberty already."
"No mom, I want to know about my bloodline, I know I'm not fully human."
"Oh that, you are part vampire dear."
'Did she have to say it so nonchalantly.' Xenos thought.
"Will we be hunted mom, this is the human empire, some of the maids said that most non-humans are discriminated here, especially since we are in the capital."
Eden got up from her laying position, now sitting up as her silver hair fell below her shoulders and looked at Xenos' red eyes with hers, both shining like rubies.
"Well as long as nobody knows we're fine, don't worry dear, actually compared to humans, vampires are a lot better. Sadly I was born human, but your father made me into a vampire after he gave me some of his blood essences. Xenos, vampires have superhuman capabilities out doing humans in all sectors, well at face value, without all the extra training, mana strengthening and everything, so we hold the advantage. For you compared to a normal human, like your maid Gwen, you are a lot more powerful at the same age, even cuter, which comes from race advantage. There are also other abilities like your teleportation, which you weirdly had at your age, as you haven't even drunk any blood before."
"How do you know that?" Xenos asked genuinely curious.
"Ahahaha... oh dear, I'm so sorry but have you ever seen your own shadow?"
"My shadow? Shouldn't it be right there..." he said while turning towards the ground.
"There's nothing?" Xenos said.
"Yes honey, a vampire who never drinks blood, will not have a shadow, this is also the reason you've never gone out to where there are lots of people, staying secluded in the castle, while sometimes going out to see creatures of the world. To fix that we gave you Gwen, but you will have to tell her what you are..." she said smirking.

"But what if she hates me?"
"Maybe she will, maybe she won't, this is why you'll ask her," Eden told him, closing one of her eyes.
"Alright mother, but if she doesn't accept me, then what?" He said timidly.
"We'll probably have to get rid of her," She said smiling.
"Oh..."
"Now as for your bloodline, if you have any more questions you should ask your father, as he grew up a vampire. Go if you don't have more questions or want to sleep here with me..." She said half asleep.
"Ok see you for dinner" He spoke out while leaving the garden.
As he walked through the halls he started thinking.
"Will they really kill her for knowing my true race, damn this world truly is different, not only in their people but their morals as well."
"Host, they are merely making sure we are not all killed merely due to one person."
"Yeah but something about it just feels a bit wrong, maybe I've just grown a bit attached to my purple-haired maid."
Seeing a lean middle-aged man with light facial hair he called out.
"Claud, do you know where my father is?"
"Young Master, Milord should be in his study, busy at work."
"Oh okay, thank you." He said walking away.
The butler Claud looked at his young masters back thinking, "Not too shabby, compared to most noble children, Xenos is much better."
Opening the door to where he read his first book, he saw a handsome man with white-blonde hair with a quill in his hand, writing.
Noticing the door opening, Orion, however, did not stop to look and said, "Xenos how are you, I'm a bit busy, but it seems you have a question to ask so go ahead."
Xenos seeing this said, "Mom told me to ask you about my vampire bloodline."
Orion's lips turned, giving out a splendid smile and said, "That's great, how about tonight, but that is if you can get your first taste of blood, this must be from Gwen."
"Mom told me about this, but I don't want Gwen to be upset or hate me, especially if you end up killing her."
Orion's smile turned even more radiant, knowing what his beautiful wife did, and said: "We do this for a reason Xenos, so unless you have a different question other than about your bloodline you should go and do what you must first."
As Xenos walked out of the room he heard a 'Ding'.
"Host, new mission"
"Sia, Show Missions."
Tell Gwen that you are a vampire, and drink her blood.
Reward: 5 BP, Pyrokinesis, +20 in all stats, +5 MP, Shadow.
"Well seems easy enough, let's do this."
"Host, don't be too forceful, Gwen is quite nice to you."
"Yeah I know, but I need to make sure she accepts me."
As he walked through the halls of the castle passing maids and butlers he spotted a familiar purple-haired girl, he followed her.
The person with shiny purple hair along with blue eyes walked into her room as she had just finished her daily duties, her master, Xenos, didn't really have many needs besides cleaning his clothes and bedroom.
"Ahhhhh why won't master ask more from me." She said as she jumped onto her bed hugging some loose fabric.
Xenos who entered into the girl's room with Shadow Steps and was hidden in the dark using Hide, saw this.
"What the f*ck," he thought.
"Host it seems she might like you."
"Sure seems like it, well this makes it easier I guess, I got a perfect plan for this." He thought nefariously.

8 174The First Magician
James died from touching something he, in hindsight, should definitely not have. As luck would have it, he was reborn into a world with magic, levels, skills, and stats. Just like an RPG! The most curious thing about this new world was that magic had only existed for thirty years. What kind of life will James lead in a world filled with monsters, dungeons, and magic? Usually will update Wednesday and Saturday, but there's always the chance I haven't gotten around to writing in a while so there may be a break. Additionally, I intend to edit heavily between arcs.

—A Celebration of all things chess... Shounen Sports–manga Style. Anasthese is the current reigning World Champion for the Junior Chess Female Division. For years, she's wanted nothing more than to beat the Male Division Champion, Rei. These two are considered prodigies way ahead of their age; none of their peers even come close to holding a candle against them. But be that as it may, Anasthese too, cannot hold a candle to Rei... She's never beaten Rei once he's serious. Anasthese has always considered Rei the best of her generation. It's her lifelong goal to beat and surpass him. That's why, when Rei's cancer had become fatal after their 3rd year running, Anasthese took it hard. Rei will die, with her never having beaten him, not even once. Things take an unexpected turn when Rei reveals that he is far from the "invincible" player Anasthese envisions him to be. Even he has someome he could never beat, not even if his life depended on it... a fellow apprentice who studied with him under GM Amane. A guy so-called "Net". This enrages Anasthese. A person stronger than Rei should not exist. Because if he did, then what has all her efforts for the past years been for? And if this Net "does" exist, why doesn't he challenge Rei for the title? Rei tells her it's not that simple... Net's playstyle is void. It's an enigma. It's chess that should not exist, and should physically not be possible to play. It goes against all logic, and it's power is not something that can be measured in numbers. It's something that would "absolutely not work" in a professional setting. Anasthese attends Rei's funeral as a last rite before setting off for Japan, bound towards the disintegrating Futenma Shintenkan Highschool chessclub, of which there are only two members left: Mukuro and Net. She has to see it with her own eyes, a playstyle that Rei lost to... And as Anasthese stays for the long-term, various misadventures are started at Futenma High, including rebuildung the club, Anasthese's "Royal Guards" (four girls dedicated to serving Anasthese and helping challenge Rei) coming to take her back to America, and unexpected guests gracing the local Sports Meet chess scene. From a guy who can only play well everytime money's involved, to a girl who plays on a weird "Magical Girls vs Orcs" chess set, get introduced to the quirky playstyles that make chess wonderful. (Disclaimer: I am not a chess pro, I'm only 1400. Expect me to have no idea what I'm talking about at certain times...)
