There were only three Legendary ranks since time immemorial and why there were only three and why two didn’t exist, nobody knew.

There are many Supreme ranks in hiding or in other dimensions and only fifteen roam around the world. Nobody really knows who is where or who is a Supreme rank and nor do they care.

Once in a while, certain beings from the other dimensions come out into the main world to cause chaos. They were either the ones who just found out about dimension gaps and thought of taking control of the other side or the ones who were previously into hiding to improve their strength.

Time to time, these beings would come out and try to create mass genocide or destruction of property. To stop them, guilds give certain mandatory missions to their members and those who complete it, get incentives or class upgrades. They might even get rewards and medallions from certain countries in which such a disaster had been stopped.

In the last thousand years, eleven SSS class, four disaster class and one Catastrophe class mission was issued by the top guilds of the world for such beings. The Catastrophe class mission wasn’t solved by any Adventurer.

A Supreme rank being was out of seclusion and he thought that he was the strongest and thus, he chose to take over the races. 𝒃𝙚𝙙𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝒍.𝒐𝙧𝒈

The Human race’s Supreme rank Darren Whitter, the Angel race’s Heavenly Emperor Alex Paladin and the Elven race’s Elven Queen Agalea Grace joined hands to kill this Supreme rank.

That guy, after realising he was just foolish, begged for mercy and asked the Supreme ranks to spare him. The other Supreme ranks, after beating him half to death, spared him. He was later taken as a subordinate to Darren Whitter as that guy was from the Human race.

The other two Supreme ranks easily let him become a subordinate to Darren as in their mind, they knew of one existence which could easily crush them if they created problems. Thus, a Catastrophe class mission was solved.

Lith walked over to the reception of the small guild. He saw a young Vampire lady. She had the standard red eyes and black hair of the Vampire race.

Except noble Vampires who have strong bloodlines or some strong Vampires, everyone has red eyes. It is a trait of being a Vampire. The noble ones do have red eyes too but that is only during a battle or when they are in rage. Colour other than red is a trait of only nobles and strong Vampires.

Most Vampires need to drink blood frequently or they may lose control and go crazy or worst case, die. They thus live most of their time having the thirst to drink blood and this thirst causes their eyes to turn red. The nobles or stronger ones do not have such strong thirst and thus their eyes are not red. These Vampires who live constantly with this thirst, after a period of time, have their eyes take on a permanent red colour.

If one could somehow retain their urges and reach rank 6, their eyes would not be red but some different colour. During and after rank 6, they do not need to drink blood for nutrition too often as magical energy nourishes their body. Their urges drop and their eyes do not take on the red colour at normal times. Only during rage or during battle will it turn red. During these times, these beings are the closest to their truest instincts, which is to be a predator and therefore have red eyes. During normal times, they are calm and composed and do thus do not work on instincts and have those eyes.

The Vampires take the topic of blood seriously and they do not go around drinking their fellow people’s blood randomly. It is not a good thing. Thus, sharing blood between each other is only between family, friends or lovers. They also find the region around their neck as sacred and one’s who drink blood from each other’s neck are married people only. No one else can drink blood from their neck if it isn’t their husband/wife.

Although adultery is common and many crazy stuff occur on a day to day basis in the Vampire society, nobody really touches each other’s neck or tries to drink each other’s blood. The neck is a sacred place and they respect it very much. The ladies who are married, though may cheat on their husband, they still do not allow the other party to drink their blood from their neck. It is like an unspoken rule. The lady may kill the man if he tries to do that on the spot or may kill herself if she is unable to stop him. People take their necks very seriously.

All in all, only nobles or strong Vampires have normal eyes and the neck is a sacred place and drinking each other’s blood randomly is a crime and may get you killed if you do that without consent. It is almost similar to **pe.

Lith looked at the lady in front and when he saw her eyes, he remembered the time when he had the concern as to why his eyes weren’t red and asked his mother about it. She gave him a long lecture on why it was so and also started explaining about the time when he bit her neck. She told him it was a wrong thing to do and is only done between husband and wife. Neck is a sacred place for Vampires. Lith would’ve started feeling guilty about it but Lilith then said

“Although it is such a thing among everyone, mama doesn’t care one bit about it. You and your big sis can bite mama wherever you want you know?” and gave him a wink. Lith understood his mother’s nature very well. If her children wanted to do something, she would let them do it and not care about anything. She was a true powerhouse, she could do anything.

Lith and Lucy were in a disguise. They had their appearance changed to a normal Vampire couple. Black hair, red eyes and an ordinary face. Though Lucy had such a disguise too, it didn’t hide her alluring curves at all. Any man would drool just by looking at her body even though her face was ordinary.

Lith had asked his big sister why a couple and not family and she only winked at him and didn’t say anything. He thought ‘so you wanna be a couple? After this dungeon adventure, I ll play along with you then.’ Day by day, he is getting more shameless and bold.

“Hello sir and ma’am, how may I help you?” The Vampire lady asked in a polite tone.

“We need to register ourselves to get an identity card.” Lucy said in a neutral tone without waiting for Lith to speak.

“Very well. Please fill this form and come in for a picture and you’ll be done soon.”

The lady said after handing out a form.

The form had general things like sex, age, name and occupation etc. Lith filled it with some fake details. He wrote his name as Frey Woods. It was taken from the name of his maid. The maid who once rode him to the merchant district along with his mother and big sis, it was her, Freya Woods.

He wrote his age as 23 and sex as male. His occupation, he wrote it honestly. It was as Mage. He wanted to be a Mage and would continue on this path in future. Thus he wrote it.

“Hmm? You want to be a Mage? Dear, isn’t combat your forte? You know almost 3 weapons now. The sword, the spear and the gauntlets. Why choose Mage then? You can take on as Assassin, hunter or Knight something.” Lucy asked after looking at the form.

“It is exactly because of that big sis. Close range combat is my forte and if I become a Mage, I ll be able to enjoy magic as well as combat. The people would definitely only think of me as a weak mage and try to attack me in close range. It’ll be a good show from then on.” Lith said in a neutral tone.

Lith told her half the truth. The full thing was that, he enjoyed magic and combat and also, he chose Mage just because people would underestimate him and he could then face slap them. It was a thing he used to find interesting in the novels he read back in his previous life.

“Well, you have weird choices, dear. Alright, whatever. You can do anything you like. Big sis will always support you.” Lucy said with a smile and gave him a peck on his lips.

Lith too smiled and then submitted the form. They then took a photo and left onto their adventure after getting their identity card.

They were now heading to the border of Nightingale and Darkwing. It was to explore the D class dungeon.
