Vampire's Slice Of Life

Chapter 968 Chance

A harmless human, wearing a black long sleeve t-shirt, olive green cargo pants, and black sneakers descended down from the portal. His gaze was neutral and his eyes didn't seem to be focusing on anything.

The human was 172 cm in height with black hair having one of the most common hairstyles from Earth.

He was not particularly handsome or ugly, just a normal looking everyday college student with dark circles, showcasing his sleep deprivation.

Lith's heart pounded intensely, to the point he felt it may leap out of his chest. The chills had not vanished either and his hair still stood on their ends.

The human fully descended down and as his feet touched the ground, his eyes seemed to have some focus restored.

The human turned to look at Lith and walked up to him, under his shocked gaze.

A creep smile formed on his face as he stood before and extended his hand out in greeting. "Hello."

Lith breathed heavily and tried to stop himself from panicking.

'This is not good. This is definitely not good.'

There were some secrets in Lith's life which were buried deep in his heart. Some that even his mother or sister did not know about.

It was not that Lith didn't want to share it with them. It was just the time wasn't right.

However, with the human boy appearing in front of him, who was a hundred percent aged 19, one of Lith's deepest secrets was out in the open.

The boy was none other than Lith himself.

The human Lith that was a student on planet Earth.

Words weren't enough to convey what Lith was feeling right now. If it weren't for years of training, his mind would've collapsed from the sudden shock.

Forcefully trying to calm himself down, Lith looked at the human and didn't greet him. He simply stared at him and wondered what this tribulation was meant to be.

The human Lith, finding no response from the vampire Lith, took his hand back and shrugged.

"You seemed to have become quite arrogant, Chance," said the human in a flat tone.

Lith shuddered at the word, a spine-tingling sensation enveloping his whole body.

Watching his reaction, the boy, who was a head shorter, and pitifully uncharismatic, tilted his head and asked, "Why do you seem so shocked? Are you not happy to see me, Chance?"

Hearing the word 'Chance' for the second time, Lith snapped back to reality and had a proper look at his former self.

This was him, named Chance, when he was on Earth.

It had been such a long time here that Lith had forgotten his own name from before. His memories from Earth were clouded and he barely remembered anything.

If it weren't for the fact that many elements from Earth were available in this world, he would've totally forgotten it.

Classics such as the Moonlight Sonata or anime or games or literature… A lot of things were available that reminded him of that place and didn't let him forget.

After his reincarnation, Lith was bombarded with a ton of information and things related to his past life were bound to be buried deep in the back of his mind.

With his former self standing in front of him now, Lith did not know what this tribulation meant or what the heavens wanted to achieve.

All he knew was that a lot of trouble awaited him and he had a lot of explaining to do to his mother, sister, and the rest of his family.

Lith sighed visibly. He did not want a situation like this to occur, but now that it was here, it was time to face it.

Panicking won't do him any good and after the initial shock, he turned calm.

Looking back at his former self, Lith flashed a faint smile, completely identical to his mother's, and said, "Who's Chance?"

Chance, his former self, was visibly taken aback by the comment, not expecting such a response.

He blinked his eyes and stared at Lith in confusion. "You are Chance."

Lith took a step forward, then looked down at Chance, metaphorically and literally.

Chance looked up in response.

"I'm Lith, in case you don't already know. Lith Lilith Evure, to be precise."

"Huh?" Chance seemed visibly offended. "What do you mean? You're Chance—"

Lith slapped his hand on Chance's shoulder and stared right into his brown eyes with his own amethyst ones. A cold glint flashed through them.

"I hope I don't need to repeat myself again."

Chance gulped, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down.

Lith didn't speak with his former self and looked up at the tribulation clouds. "I don't know what you wished to achieve, heavens, but I can tell you with assurance, I am not developing a heart demon due to this thing or feel like my mind collapsing. I have to say, you got me, but I'm over it now."

The dark tribulation clouds stopped thundering, turning silent, as if they understood Lith's comment.

"I suppose it's over, yes? I wish to keep this alive, but—"

As if sensing Lith's resolve, the dark clouds rumbled and Chance's body shuddered.

Lith turned to look at him and saw his face distorting, then his body melting into a black liquid.

His eyes turned lifeless and slowly, his body sizzled, turned into a black liquid, then turned into a mist and flowed into his Magic Core.

Lith raised his eyebrows in surprise, but then, a cool current spread everywhere within him and a sense of clarity returned to him, along with feeling rejuvenated, refreshed, and much stronger than before.

What changes had taken place, Lith would see it later.

Lith had to say, the heavens sure knew the carrot and stick method. First it gave him the stick, now it gave him the carrot when it realized there was no point in continuing.

This tribulation had a certain meaning to it and it definitely wasn't out of place. Lith had a feeling. He would ponder over it later.

For now, he gazed down at his abdomen and looked at his Magic Core. It was shaking and Lith could feel the internal tribulation descend.

He was going to be busy once again.

Surprisingly, Lith was more worried about the problems that would take place after the tribulation was over, rather than the current one itself.

Shaking his head, he thought, 'I should've told mom and sis earlier about it. But what's done is done. I just hope they aren't saddened after hearing this. I wish they would just punish me or beat me for keeping this hidden, but… sigh… I can't really predict what their reactions would be.'

Lith was worried. But nothing could be done about it. Such things weren't in his control.

Lith took a deep breath and sat down cross-legged, letting his consciousness flow into his Magic Core, and awaiting the internal tribulation.
