66 Chapter 66

Knightsbridge, located in the west ends of central London. It was the site of stately houses and clubs and of the famous department store, because of such it was deemed as one of the more luxurious areas.

It was the first time Xavier had been in this area, he was also unconscious so he didn't know much about the path to the mansion. But that was the least of his worries.

After all, in the city, he couldn't just feel the presence of ghouls, but also the presence of countless powerful vampires.

"...I said I'd be coming out to get supplies, but what is this..." Muttered Xavier as he leaned in from the edge of the top of a building.

On the streets below, he could see what appeared to be countless swarms of ghouls roaming around and breaking into broken down buildings in search of any life they could find.

'Why the hell are there so many ghouls here? Aren't expensive areas less densely populated?'

The amount of swarms he'd seen were growing frequent. Xavier looked up at the sky, ignoring the dark sphere over his head, it was night time, the time which they were active.

Moving during the day would have been better, but so far the ghouls hadn't shown interest in him and Xavier didn't have the option of waiting that long nor was he certain whether or not he'd survive direct exposure to sunlight.

As far as Xavier knew, the sun was harmful to Vampires, but at the same time he survived direct exposure to UV lights by the Vampire Opposition Corps with only his stats being reduced temporarily.

Xavier pulled his phone out of his pocket before looking at the time.

[23:58] is what it read.

*Sigh*

'It's already close to midnight... I left the house at around twenty-two... Was I lost for that long?' He questioned.

The mansion was surprisingly big, Xavier had never seen one as big during his short stay in London. All of the other mansions in the area were also a sight to behold.

They were quite a distance away from the centre of the district where there were all the hospitals and shops which had the supplies which Xavier needed.

'System, what level am I right now?'

[Name: Xavier Trigger.]

[Level: 8.]

[Levels remaining until evolution: 2.]

After reading the notifications on a screen before him, Xavier tapped on his camera roll.

*Tap*

His camera opened, showing a reflection of his face.

He was wearing a black cloak which covered his physique along with a plain white mask which covered his entire face. On his back was a giant hiking bag for the supplies and bloodbags.

His spiky part black, part silver hair stood out from the cloak's hoodie and his crimson eyes appeared to glow as they gazed at the phone.

'The mask suits me...'

-Memory

Inside of the mansion's first floor, Xavier approached the door leave. He ignored the stares and glares from the other Vampires and grabbed onto the handle.

The moment he did so however, he was stopped by Anastasia who suddenly called out to him.

"Xavier."

Xavier turned around only to find her already standing right behind him. She was holding onto a plain white wooden mask with two holes carved out for his eyes and two different Vampire sword and sheathes.

They were in their sheathes so Xavier couldn't tell what they exactly looked like, but he could feel a powerful aura coming out of them. One had a black handle while the other had a white one.

"Before you go, take this and this.."

She handing him both of the swords and their sheathes along with the mask.

"Worried about me already?" Xavier teased.

In response to this, she sent him a glare before walking away.

"The young lady had told me to give this to you if you'd decided to go out before she awoke."

"And it's better to keep your identity hidden so your family isn't put isn't dragged into any more problems because of your foolishness."

"I thought so." Responded Xavier before back towards the door.

Upon turning the doorknob an additional question entered his ears.

"Will you need a guide?" Anastasia asked.

"Nope, I'll be just fine." Xavier responded with a smile.

-Memory End.

[23:59...]

,m Xavier slowly stood up before leaning forward over the edge.

'Now that I think about it, I haven't done this before, have I?' Xavier

[00:00]

The moment it turned midnight, a grin grew on Xavier's face. In that instant, his figure which had been leaning forward had completely lost it's footing.

Xavier was plummeting towards the ground at incredibly high speeds. His clothes were swaying all over the place as the wind crashed against his face.

While falling headfirst, Xavier stared at the giant black sphere.

'A dimensional portal is what you said, right? When will it activate?' Xavier asked.

[Due to a lack of information, unable to answer the user's questions.]

[However, no signs of the portal opening have taken place.]

Xavier rotated his body mid-air, positioning his feet against the building's wall as he continued to plummet.

'Now to push off with all my strength...!'

Muscles bulged out of Xavier's veiny legs, before he thrust them out. Kicking off and propelling himself over towards the building across the street.

Xaiver felt incredibly, as he soared across the air a bright blush oculd be seen on his face which was growing a smile in excitement.

'I'm flyin-'

*SHATTER!*

Xavier's thoughts were interrupted as he suddenly crashed into the glass panel of the building ahead of him. Sliding and rolling before crashing into a bunch of tables which were on his path.

[HP: 47/50]

"Ouch..." Xavier groaned in pain as he slowly got up and got a good look, of the room.

Before him was a room filled with tables and chairs neatly organised, and at the very end of the room was a counter filled with whine, and all types of expensive liquor.

Xavier looked over at the counter with an excited grin. Although he was now officially an adult and allowed to drink, he'd never done so because of his age.

"These are necessary supplies." Xavier muttered as he put down his back.

*Thump*

The moment his bag touched the floor however, he felt a shiver rush down his spine. Upon glancing up, a droplet of saliva landed on his forehead.

In the ceiling above him was a creature with crimson red glowing eyes glaring right at him.

But It wasn't just one, as most of the ceiling lit up with the red glowing eyes.

It was a horrifying sight enough to make even the bravest of people faint at a glance.

For Xavier however.

The grin on his face widened as a strong red blush spread across it. All he could see was XP that he needed to level up.

*Growl!* *SWOOSH!*
