Chapter 158: 9


    The next day Jia Hyson went to the castle as usual in a good mood and bumped into Prince Kieran and Prince Damien.


    Casually but still politely Jia Hyson gave a small nod with a hand over his heart in greeting, "Good morning your highnesses."


    Both princes who originally had stiff expressions rxed. They were still not fully adjusted to ric''s changes since they didn''t associate much, but seeing the much low key greeting improved their original impressions. After all the original ric was very insistent on following the tradition of giving a proper 90-degree bow to them when they met, wherever they met, which was very embarrassing.


    What was more annoying was if ric felt the need to make conversation it was very boring topics that if they didn''t have much opinion of, ric would then act pretentious and say how they simply must read the ancient vampire book of h h to better educate themselves. Honestly, ric''s personality wasn''t too bad per se if you were a noble vampire, but it was incredibly annoying nheless. And when you think the person is annoying you think everything they do is annoying.


    It was so bad that every time they saw ric they felt the need to tense up subconsciously, and ignore the feeling of irritation seeing his face.


    Jia Hyson didn''t me them, after all, he would and has disliked people for simr reasons. For example, when he was a student there was a fellow ssmate who was incredibly sticky with him and often praised him.


    At first, it was okay, but the sense of ignoring Jia Hyson''s personal boundaries with the excuses of being a friend, being showered with over-exaggerated praise after every little thing, telling other people about what he had done, was very ufortable. The ssmate would also say things like, ''Oh I could never be as good as you!'', ''You''re so amazingggg!'', ''We''re besties right?'' and even ''Ah friend X went to your house? Howe I haven''te over?'' This sort of pushy licking dog* appearance directly disgusted the young Jia Hyson but at the time he didn''t know what to do about it.


    *A licking dog is like a yes man or crony. Essentially they will follow you and tter you a lot generally to get benefits (but not necessarily).


    Maybe if they were only acquaintances Jia Hyson could objectively praise the ssmate, but with a bad impression, there is always a filter that makes one think negatively about the other. For example, it''s normal to share an inside joke with friends and bring it up often, but if someone you dislike keeps bringing it up the joke is no longer so funny and you think that the person is beating a dead horse. Or if you show your bracelet off to a friend and they get a matching one it''s a sign of closeness, but if someone you dislike looks at your bracelet and the next day theye and tell you they match with you, it bes creepy, stalker-ish, and copying yourself.


    There was also the ''I am sozy, I never study but I get nearly full marks each time and I want everyone to know how surprised I am,'' ssmate, the ''Have you heard about this movie? I totally rmend this movie and I will ask you if you have watched it yet for an entire month until I find something else that I want you to also enjoy with me,'' and finally the ''I never pull my weight during group projects but I will also not acknowledge myck of participation and act friendly to try to hide the fact I''m clearly not contributing shit.'' Seriously. Just. Fuck those guys.


    So Jia Hyson does understand why people didn''t like ric. He was kind of a privileged, snobby, conservative, pretentious, stick in the mud fuckface. Honestly, if Jia Hyson met him, he might not even have the desire to fuck him.


    Bebe: ''Wow host, tell them what you really think.''


    Jia Hyson: ''I said MIGHT not.'' After all, his face and body were really good-looking ah.


    Unfortunately, it was ric''s ousted preference to go against gender norms that was the final straw and what was focused on in the plot. If it had been about his attitude, everything would have been fine. Because the most eptable discrimination in his opinion is the discrimination against personality.


    In Jia Hyson''s opinion, as long as ric''s personality is not so exaggeratedly repulsive and he has gained a neutral or, best case scenario, good impression from others, the chances of a big bacsh from his ''true perversion'' will still be very likely if found out but it won''t be as bad. People are crueler to the people they dislike, and more biased toward those that they like. At the very least it doesn''t hurt to reform people''s impression for the better for now.


    However, it''s also a bit of a tightrope as Jia Hyson is also interested in minimising his involvement with the plot characters- specifically Damien. After all, in this teen romance book, the entire story was centred around Jessica Fang and Prince Damien Rose. Of course, the supporting characters were present too but their lines and screen time were significantly less.


    If Jessica Fang''s series was a y, the protagonists would have at least three booklets worth of script to memorise and the closest supporting characters would probably only get ten sheets of paper at best. Even Kieran who starred as the main antagonist in the first book was mainly written as the one manipting behind the shadows and only got to receive the spotlight for a few scenes before receiving his lunchbox*.


    *Receiving a lunchbox- essentially used in reference to actors/extras. When they finish early (e.g. the character dies) they can get a lunchbox and go home. Therefore this trend became a saying which means either you''re out of the picture or, you straight up die. E.g. After the cannon fodder tries to kill the female lead, the male lead swoops in to save the day and the cannon fodder receives a lunchbox.


    Thinking about that, Jia Hyson looks at the rather good looking Prince Kieran.


    Prince Kieran: Eh? (,,,,) ? ? Suddenly big brother''s annoyingckey is looking at him so tenderly?


    Jia Hyson: Ah, it''s such a pity such a good looking young man will be cast out in a few years. I should see if I can get a taste of him before he goes. ()


    Prince Damien: Feeling a bit left out _(:< )_


    In fact, if Prince Ss waszy but effortlessly gorgeous with a schrly air, then Prince Damien was the brooding handsome to the point of beautiful type that looked best staring out in the window while it rains. Prince Kieran on the other hand was just handsome. Like there was nothing particrly outstanding but he was indeed handsome. But it was like a normal guy handsome. Like he was wow, but not WOAH.


    Prince Kieran: I have the inexplicable urge to burst into tears. QwQ


    It was a little tragic. The amount of thought put into Kieran was probably nil, with his basic brown hair, basic symmetrical face that had nothing to fault but nothing to praise other than being quite friendly looking-pared to Ss with his half-lidded eyes that produced azy yet provocative gaze, longshes and long strikingly silver hair, and Damien who had pitch-ck slightly wavy hair and a face that was solemn as a carved statue and just as wless- it really made one question the authenticity of their blood ties.


    In fact, the only thing that connected all three of them was their pitch ck eyes.


    Yes. All three had ck eyes.


    In fact, ck eyes were a sign of royalty for the Golden Rose Coven. Why wasn''t it gold? Because the Golden Rose Coven wasn''t named after the royal family''s eyes like some sort of cliche. It was named the Golden Rose coven because of a love story about golden roses Like a different sort of cliche.


    Jia Hyson wasn''t that surprised honestly. In these sort of romantic fantasy stories, ck eyes, grey eyes, silver, gold, purple- these were all unique but at the same time normal colours. Not to mention every time they drink blood their eyes all naturally turn red. These sort of magical eyes, really makes Jia Hyson want to gouge one out and study it ah~ (,,,>  <,,) < p>


    So in such a setting, Jia Hyson was toozy to find the holders of the shards. Eye colour was the only indicator he knew and with that advantage gone, he couldn''t do anything even if he actively tried.


    It is true one could argue that he has a one in three chance of getting it right if he targets the Golden Rose coven but you also have to consider the fact that over the generations there were many of the royal bloodlines that married out. It wasn''t like in the novels where the ''same soul'' is always close by, the identity was really random as thest world has so thoroughly shown.


    So in conclusion, if he likes, he will seduce, if it''s a hassle then don''t. There''s no need to think much about it, as long as it doesn''t affect the changes he wants to implement then it''s fine. And even if it does affect them, he can always figure something out.


    Bebe: ''You are just the definition of steering the boat wherever the winds lead* huh.''


    * [] Kn fng sh du: Steer the boat wherever the winds lead = Not sticking to the big n. Going with the flow. A fickle mind.


    Jia Hyson: _()_/


    He didn''t have much to talk about with the two younger princes given they had an age difference and they were reluctant acquaintances (on the princes'' part at least) at best. So aftermenting on the weather and making a jab at an unlikeable teacher that they all share which brought a chuckle out of the pair of brothers, Jia Hyson bowed his head and bid farewell, reminding them with a gentle firmness not to bete and to study well. Even though this nagging was normal, with how casual and gently it was phrased it was no longer so irritating to the ear.


    Trotting to ss, Jia Hyson looked back and gave an awkward smile and a wave before facing forward, hiding the smug smirk from Kieran and Damien.


    Heh, it''s not too difficult. Just give it a little time and a few small opportunities and he can wash himself white* easily. Jia Hyson was sure at this time they will take the opportunity to gossip about his changes. As long as he is on their minds, he wins this round.


    *Washing his dirty reputation white/clean essentially.


    Bebe: Tinyppingcat.gif


    Jia Hyson: ''I don''t know how to interpret that so I''m going to interpret it as support UwU.''


    "Hey, brother, big brother''sckey seems much better now don''t you think?"


    "En," Damien agrees contemtively, "As long as he continues improving maybe he will be seriously considered as a candidate for king''s advisor."


    Originally ric was a candidate for the role, after all, he was a Rong, he was intelligent,wful and held a powerful skill. Unfortunately, advisors neededpatibility with their rulers. All three of the princes found ric quite abhorrent to be around, with only Ss barely tolerating it out of sheer apathy andziness.


    However, if ric bes bearable and much more flexible in mind then he is indeed someone incredibly desirable as an ally.


    Thinking that far, Damien drops the thought in favour of his uing sses. He wasn''t very interested in the throne after all, as long as Ss gets his act together then there was no question on who will lead the coven. Damien was happy with this hoping his elder brother can eventually ascend the throne so he could finally pursue a freedom unavable to a prince such as he.


    Kieran hums nomittally, in contrast, his ck eyes sh in contemtion and calction.


    Generally, sses were quitex. Unlike humans who had to cram the summary of hundreds of years of knowledge into twelve years of schooling plus however many years of higher education into their heads before being sent off to the adult world- vampires, who were full of youth and longevity, had the privilege to just simply not worry about that. Like, any of that really.


    This was especially the case with noble vampire families who have made fortunes upon fortunes for centuries. Everyone was born into old money and their treasure rooms were filled with priceless antiques.


    Of course, it wasn''t like they weren''t all fortunate. There were always stories of vampires who were lulled into the pit of gambling and ruined their entire fortune due to that. Or seduced by someone and lost it all. Or offended someone that they shouldn''t. These things was something more fearful than vampire hunters really. Especially gambling.


    When you live for so long you be a little bored and emotionally dulled. Gambling was a monster that can open up your heart and fill it with greed and instant gratification. The mindset of a vampire is that they were rich and there was little to lose, and slowly but surely they will walk deeper and deeper into the bottomless swamp called addiction.


    Such a thing cannot be fought against with magic or logic and the longer you live the easier it is to ignore it, always deluding yourself into thinking you can make it back eventually. Many vampires over time noticed how troubling this tendency to gamble was with the rise of casino poprity. So to try to avoid such a pathetic oue, they made sure to give a lot of anti-gambling propaganda, encouraging them to only bet with simple stakes and understand that there''s a limit to what you can do lest you regret it.


    The morning ss Jia Hyson was taking was a moral ss focusing once again on anti-gambling which was a topic that generallyes up every few months. After that ording to today''s timetable he will go learn mathematics, chemistry, biology and finally have a break before undertaking sses in leadership, fighting, power training and business.


    It was quite interesting the way sses were formatted. This was because of how vampires age, both biologically and psychologically.


    For pure vampires, their ages stagnate at puberty for a very long time with only some small fluctuations of physical growth. Maybe to bnce out their long life cycle and natural fighting power, the world''s consciousness had created vampires to take much longer to mature mentally than humans.


    Jia Hyson felt like this made sense. After all, would a self-respecting proper adult vampire of 1000 years old really be willing to dress up in a middle school or high school uniform for fun?


    Like damn are they shameless or are they perverts?


    Bebe: ''Aren''t you a self respecting proper adult?''


    Jia Hyson: ''That''s different.''


    Jia Hyson: ''I''m shameless AND a pervert.'' (-)b


    Bebe: ()


    Plus a lot of those elderly blood-sucking high-school cosyers in television and stories weren''t exactly the smartest or most restrained individuals ever. Jia Hyson didn''t consume much vampire teen romance content in fairness, but when he did, he couldn''t help but fall into contemtion and think- hey, you, did you eat all those years you lived through? Or did you sleep through them all? Why you so dumb?


    If they exined that vampires actually had longer puberty than other species and their maturity was generally very slow to develop, then that more or less exined everything all quite well.


    Not to mention it''s less pedophilic to think about when someone who''s the same age as some heritage sites goes and fucks some horny sixteen-year old that''s a slut for brooding white guys with fangs and, presumably, but not necessarily, in some sort of ck leather.


    Therefore the importance of learning how to socially interact, how to make decisions, how to think critically and control emotions were more stressed upon in the first thirty years of their lives than advancing their knowledge further than the middle school level.


    That''s right, ric may look like a cute teenager but he was actually nearly twenty-eight. Ss was the same, Damien was twenty-six, and Kieran, twenty-two.


    And yeah, Jia Hyson thought it was weird too.


    But then.


    He realised.


    Between twenty-eight and one hundred and twenty-eight the former is technically definitely better.


    Though oddly enough it didn''t feel better haha. Pukesblood.gif _:(`):_


    It took Jia Hyson a decent amount of time to mentally adjust to the worldview, but once he did he found it easy to let it go. In his opinion, he looked like a teenager, he supposedly had the mentality of a teenager, therefore, disregarding the objectivity that is the passage of time, he should be considered as a teenager.


    Of course, while his mental adjustments took a while, it was drastically much shorter than many others that had been in a simr situation. There were many hosts who couldn''t stomach the idea at all and wouldn''t touch or look at any human in a sexual light during their entire stay in the world they had transmigrated.


    Jia Hyson felt that this was a bit much ah. After all, as transmigrators, they were all eventually going to be thousand-year-old monsters. At this point what''s a ten to ten thousand year age difference between lovers? Besides, the taboo of vampires and humans was really too appealing to pass up ah~


    Anyway, the main point was this difference in maturation and physical growth between vampires and humans is why St Lah''s Academy was such an important institution.


    St Lah''s Academy allowed vampires to not only learn to socialise in a new environment with humans, and generate ties to the powerful ones but also to actually experience a higher education they weren''t getting in the castle''s learning environment. After all, most of the vampires had no true passion in actually working as a full-time teachers, so most of the content was taught more casually.


    It was okay for strengthening character and teaching simpler knowledge but it really was better to be exposed to teachers with an actual passion for teaching. The only exception was if a vampire takes an interest in a ''budding talent'' and was willing to teach the young one full time. However, that''s usually for those artistic types, where it was easier to express their potential talents. For the science inclined vampires they had to wait until they went to a real school to show off. Or just continue to float through life.


    Either way, vampires under six hundred must undergo this high school experience every thirty years or so as it will help allow everyone to be more in touch with the era. After the first time at St Lah''s Academy, they had the option to go back the next time or try a more ''public'' school that was still under the control of vampires. Of course, grades will be less and less important over time, with the main thing being to re-associate and identify with the culture and times.


    But vampires are still expected to produce at least a passing mark. It was just a pride thing. You didn''t want to be the four-hundred and twenty-year-old high school dropout after all.


    After going through St Lah''s, if anyone wanted to go further in educating themselves then at least everyone could be confident the young vampires could enter a human university with minimal worries. Honestly, it was quite flexible. Maybe after the first time, you finish St Lah''s education you want to pursue a degree in architecture, then as long as you had a passing evaluation toward socialising with humans, did not harrass, stalk, assault or reveal your identity status, you were free to go somewhere to pursue the dream- and be inevitably crushed by the reality of doing architecture as a career*.


    *Disimer: This does not apply to all architects. Just like, a lot of them Shoutout to my architect friends and uncle who will never see this oh~


    Getting to ss, Jia Hyson saw that Prince Ss as usual was slumped over the desk, arms crossed to block out the light as his head rests in the gap to produce the best nap environment possible.


    "Prince Ss," Jia Hyson greets with a smile and a respectful nod as he took the initiative to sit next to the other. As someone he was more familiar with it made sense not to be as formal. Besides, Ss was sozy, and Jia Hyson was alsozy, there was no need to do extra if neither party cared.


    Prince Ss stiffens in ce before rxing and muttering a muffled greeting. He made no move to sit up and look at him, as if fully invested in napping throughout the entire ss.


    Jia Hyson didn''t think much of it and was even quite jealous of the other. While he usually gives a lot of his knowledge back to his teachers the moment he graduates, he still knows the main points.


    Not to mention, education only got stricter with higher and higher standards over time, this period was simr to the early 2000s so the demand was not too big, simr to his original world. Also, it was undeniable the American education system was far lesspetitive than the one in China where many students cried tears of blood before exams. Therefore this basic middle school education was really too dull for Jia Hyson.


    However, his character was an uptight stickler for the rules and respected authority greatly. Obviously, that meant ric was a top student who was attentive and enthusiastic about learning to better himself. If he was a teacher''s pet he must be the type of pet to winpetitions.


    Jia Hyson sighs. Ah, it was really dislikable.


    Because of this bullshit character setting, he had to use his old tricks from his student days. Staring at the teacher while dazing off, but still having the self-awareness to nod every once in a while with an expression of understanding, making eye contact with the teacher but not too much eye contact, and asionally furrowing his brow in confusion, an expression of struggling toprehend before ''writing notes''. As long as he does this correctly, he would rarely be called upon and would have the aura of someone who loves to learn.


    ''You need to adjust the pectoral muscles they''re too square-like and unnatural.'' Bebe idlyments as it watches it''s host doodling on the edges on the paper of the notebook. As an experienced system, it understood many hosts will experience the same boredom when returning to school. Granted if they had transmigrated to a high-school level education or somewhere like Korea, they couldn''t afford such a tepid attitude toward studying but, for most of the ones who had to enter middle school level or below they were usually quite bored.


    Not to mention this was a world of romance and adventure, who doesn''t know in this sort of world, school could be passed with just a studying montage in order to let the protagonists immersed in love and mystery pass sessfully!


    In ces with such stories, the world''s consciousness set their education requirements lower to help facilitate the plots. Of course, this is problematic if implemented on a global scale so generally they only do it to a few countries while the rest will have normal standards or even higher than average standards of education.


    Therefore, Bebe was not too invested in encouraging Jia Hyson to study hard at this point in time and even taught him a few games it usually ys with his old hosts. For example, the ''blind'' drawing game where Bebe says a word they had to draw and then takes away their vision temporarily so they must draw itpletely blind. Or Bebe could temporarily take over the host body''s hand for a few seconds to scribble something and the other could then create something out of it, or maybe make the hand heavy so it bes harder to draw.


    Either way with another person in your head, it provided much more entertainment to pass the time, and Bebe was also good at keeping watch and reminding Jia Hyson if the teacher was talking about some vital points he should actually note down. If he missed it, then Bebe simply ryed it to him, even adding the definitions of certain terms if sensing his confusion.


    Other than actually having to spend the effort pretending to be a good student, it was actually pretty good. Jia Hyson was a little emotional. Ah, what he would have killed for to have a Bebe in his original school days.


    As he continues being a good student on the surface, while ying around, Prince Ss who was self-consciously hiding his face suddenly felt very lonely.


    Hey, hey, shouldn''t ric talk to him by now? Didn''t he use to love to be naggy and forcefully make him wake up and pay attention to ss?


    Recently he''s been doing less and less but at least he will always try to motivate me during the first lesson right?


    Prince Ss awkwardly shifts his position and turns his head, peeking at the Jia Hyson before turning away, pretending to still be sleeping. Looking at him again, he was reminded of the explicit scene from before and his ears and face inexplicably became a little hot.


    Ah, for the first time it seems he will have trouble sleeping through ss.


    After the first ss ended, Jia Hyson was ready to remind Ss to wake up only to find, to his surprise, the other had already sat up, eyes bright and awake, not like he had just woken up at all. "Prince Ss? You" This guy who loves to sleep actually was so awake during the first ss?


    Jia Hyson was a skilled writer and an evenzier human being. But even he couldn''tprehend theziness of Prince Ss. He''s been in this world neither for a short or long time, but he swears that the number of times Prince Ss was fully awake before eleven in the morning was less than the number of fingers he had on his hands.


    Seeing the shock, and distrust of his most loyal subject, Prince Ss felt unhappy and subconsciously defended himself. "It is too boring to sleep the entire time. I figured it may be interesting to do a little foundational work so I don''t have to do so muchter on."


    "Really?"


    Prince Ss gave Jia Hyson azy look, raising his eyebrow questioningly, "Didn''t you say those words to me? So surprising I decided to listen?"


    Jia Hyson: ''Well. To be perfectly honest, yes.'' This guy was sozy it was no wonder there were so many people who didn''t want him to be a candidate to take over the coven.


    Bebe: ''Bebe also votes yes too.'' This guy was sozy you could drug a sloth and the animal would probably still be more active and motivated than this vampire.


    Prince Ss: Suddenly feeling so angry.


    Disliking the doubtfulness so obviously shown on ric''s attractive face, the crown prince of the Golden Rose coven childishly and impulsively grabbed the other person''s notebook. Usually, he was toozy to showcase the usual immaturity of vampires his age but this time he was directly stimted and did not take the time to think of finding an alternative way to impress ric. "Hmph, you give me your notes, I''ll show you how good I can be."


    Even if Prince Ss wasn''t energetic, he still had the prestigious blood of royalty in his veins and his speed was not Jia Hyson''s match. Jia Hyson couldn''t even react when the notebook was already snatched. By the time he did, it was toote and recalling the ''colourful'' notes he had been taking since he got here, he immediately blushed and panicked.


    "Your highness, please give that back!"


    Of course, how could he? Blocking the rather weak attempts in grabbing the book back with one hand, Prince Ss used his dexterous fingers of his other hand to adjust the book so he can clearly take in the notes for today''s sses and prove his potential to be a good student.


    Wouldn''t it be very cool to ric, this top student, if with just a nce, Prince Ss could recite the entire page? He was a little interested in seeing the expression, though ric''s current embarrassed one was also good-looking.


    However, when he actually saw the notes, it turned out he was the one who was shocked.


    It''s not that no notes were taken. In fact, the main key points of the lesson were noted down in simple dot points. But other than a few lines of neat writing, the rest of the page was covered in doodling and word games. There were a few somewhat serious small sketches of a man''s chest, some monsters, a little fairy in the corner, round cute looking animals, some very strange squiggles that somewhat looked like a bumblebee


    Both Jia Hyson and Bebe cursed in their heart and felt really bad as they waited for the other''s reaction.


    Jia Hyson: Fuck, it''s over, the character copsed.


    Bebe: Bebe is sorry, Bebe will never underestimate drugged sloths again. ( ^ )


    Unwilling to copse without doing something, Jia Hyson took advantage of Prince Ss'' sluggishness as he stares at the messy notes, and seizes his notebook with a flushed face.


    Prince Ss, seeing the other''s embarrassment, couldn''t resist chuckling. His ck eyes twinkled in faint teasing. Because of his lethargic character, Ss didn''t actually talk a lot as he felt it was a bit of a pain. But sometimes silence was more painful than words.


    Annoyed and flustered, Jia Hyson lightly hits Ss'' shoulder with yful irritation, "You-! As the crown prince, you shouldn''t be doing something as vulgar as stealing you know!" Heins.


    "As a potential royal advisor, you shouldn''t be cking on your studies either." Ss points out mildly.


    Jia Hyson tsks, crossing his arms defensively and speaking more casually now that he sees Ss was willing to banter with him, "It''s only morality ss, besides aren''t you just the pot calling the kettle ck?" Continuing to pretend to be embarrassed, Jia Hyson gathers up his things to leave. "Come on, we''re going to bete for the next ss now ah."


    Ss reluctantly follows obediently, unwilling to stop their current conversation. Still, as they walk quietly to ss, he couldn''t refuse the urge to nce at ric a few times, once again amazed at how much the other had changed. No, maybe it was more like, how different ric was once he finally rxed and let down his walls a little.


    Looking at the beautiful profile of ric, his delicate features, those bright blue eyes, and naturally long darkshes, Ss smiles faintly.


    It turns out that ric likes to pretend to be a good child.


    It turns out that he also gets bored in ss and draws all over his books.


    It turns out this good child is secretly a little devil who is quite a pervert too.


    It turns out he was not annoying at all, but actually, if you look closer he was actually really cute ah.


    Before he was unwilling and toozy to see past the surface of the vampire. But now that ric had smoothed out a lot of his rigid thorny personality and was willingly showing him just a little of his true self, Ss found that he was a little addicted to finding out more and more.


    Ss felt like sleeping was still his favourite thing to do. But maybe he should spare a bit more time to reacquaint himself with his cutepanion from now on.

    <strong>AN: </strong>


    Hey guys~ Sorry going back to work was way more tiring than expected so I couldn''t do what I wanted and post something by Thursday ah~ I know you guys enjoy this story a lot but please don''t do things likement about when the next chapter ising ormenting about I haven''t released a chapter yet etc. It''s very pressuring and a big turn off for me ah. If you were an early fan you know I used to post 3x a week but because I got a lot of thosements I was so turned off I just did once a week- also I started work too but the pls updatements thing definitely killed some of my goodwill toward readers ah.


    So I think the most pressing thing here in this chapter is the age thing. Generally, vampires are kinda exempt from the whole pedophilia thing as long as the human is sixteen and above from my small understanding of how vampire tropes work work.


    Ok. Confession time- I did not consume much modern teen vampire media as a teenager. Like, in retrospect I''ve watched the entire first twilight movie- wasn''t super into it hence I didn''t watch anything more and I didn''t read the books- but I did watch likementaries of people like AlexMyers or PrettyMuchIt on the twilight series in the past few years I never watched Buffy and it''s mainly anime vampires I consumed I suppose. So I have many ideas but like, I don''t have a strong basis, there''s definitely going to be some sort of vampire tropes I''ll probably miss or didn''t interpret well but I think I got a decent amount into the world-building?


    Honestly there''s just so much world building. I have many ideas and just gotta- gotta *mimics shoving it down your throats*.


    Anyway this story is definitely sus. There''s gonna be the vampire age difference thing, non con dub con situations- anyway I know I was very moral the first few chapters but throw those newly built morals away and lock em up for now~


    Also, there was a lot who really enjoyed the ''introspective'' style and I admit, it''s because I spent like two months reading Good Mother System and Good Dad System (same author) and it''s. So. Good. It''s mtl but ITS GOOD MTL OKAY JUST BELIEVE ME! I cry its so good. I was directly influenced, so if you liked the introspective style READ IT OMG. I cry. My heart.


    Also, also~ The Zombie Emperor''s Part-time Job I wrote a very short first chapter for it~ I need to write like 4k words for it to be properly registered but if you just search my username on WN the story shoulde up for you guys to take a look at (loophole hehe)~


    Anyway that''s my authors note~ I hope you guys have a good week~
