Vampire's Slice Of Life

BOOM!

A giant monster landed at the edge of the small pond where Ralph was a second ago. Due to its high momentum, the pond, as well as the Oasis, was destroyed and got covered with sand all over.

Ralph had distanced himself from the small pond when he saw the monster closing in on him. He had an affinity for Space and could cast Short Jump.

Ralph looked at the monster and found it to be a Sand Golem. Judging by how it descended from the sky, Ralph guessed that the golem must have the prowess of a Rank 4, as Sand Golems below Rank 4 couldn’t jump so high and also couldn’t survive the strong impact of landing from such a height.

“As I guessed, a useless obstacle.” Ralph said in a neutral tone.

He was out in the wild and this was a survival tournament, of course, there were bound to be wild monsters attacking. However, to Ralph, it was just useless. He could easily run away from them or if he puts in a little effort, kill them.

Ralph questioned himself whether to run away or fight the monster. After thinking for a few seconds, he decided to kill the monster.

The Sand Golem’s monster core was an important ingredient for making the Calming Nerves Potion—a calming potion, helpful in getting a person out of berserk or hyperactive state.

The Sand Golem charged towards Ralph and he too charged towards it and his fight against it began.

…

In a glacier region.

Lith was flying above the glaciers and was trying to move towards the inner parts of the safe zone. The safe zone was shrinking rapidly and the blue layer that he saw on the map wasn’t just on the map.

The dimensions’ name was Blue Haze for a reason.

Once every year, the entire dimension is covered by a semi-transparent blue haze throughout its entirety. This haze didn’t affect any organisms or anyone belonging to this world. However, it caused damage to the outsiders and if one stayed for a longer period in this haze, they may even die.

The haze had no effect on people of Rank 9

The haze does not expand constantly. It expands for some time and then stops for a certain period. The students thus have time to move to the safe zones as soon as possible.

But currently, the situation wasn’t good on Lith’s side. The haze was expanding and hadn’t stopped. He was in the extreme south of the world and if he didn’t rush to the center, he would suffer damage from the haze.

Looking back, Lith saw a blue haze closing in on him. The entire area a few hundred kilometers away from him was covered in a blue haze from the sky to the ground and with each passing second, more and more area was getting covered by the haze.

Lith knew he had to hurry or things would be bad. He willed the wind elements around and quickly flew to the safe zone. Periodically, he used the Space spell Short Jump while flying.

Fifteen minutes passed.

Lith finally made it to the inside of the safe zone. He looked back and saw the blue haze just a few kilometers from him. The haze had stopped expanding and won’t do so for the next few hours. Lith had time on him to move deeper into the safe zone.

Lith rested for a few minutes and then headed deep into the safe zone.

He had left the glacier region and was now in a snowy mountain range. He took out his identity badge and checked the map. He had to cross this region, followed by a desert region, then another mountain range, and then another…

“Oof… There are so many places. Just how big is this dimension?” Lith felt tired just by looking at the distance.

He has been flying for the past few days and now there was more flying. He wondered when will all of this be over. This tournament and everything seemed stupid in his opinion. This was more like roaming around than surviving. There weren’t even monsters around that could give him a challenge.

Everything was a waste of time. Eliminate other students? Has he not defeated most of them in the entrance exam? It hadn’t been more than four months since the entrance exams were over and apart from Ralph and Dennis, nobody even had half the merit points that Lith had.

Lith’s determination to drop out of the academy became strong as he thought of all these things. But that was for later. Now he needed to finish with the tournament.

He turned his head towards the snowy mountain range in front of him and extended his wings out. He shoved aside the thoughts of dropping out and other things to not get distracted and flew towards the snowy mountains.

…

In a snowy mountain range.

BURST!

A firakan’s body burst as Dennis willed the water elements around and crushed the firakan’s body between two thick sheets of ice.

“Damn it! There’s no end to these! How’s it on your end?” Dennis cursed and asked the cow fighting beside him.

“Moo!” The cow mooed and expressed its opinion.

“Ugh… My brain can’t translate what you’re saying now. Never mind, are you injured?” Dennis said while slashing his sword at the firakans.

“Moo!” The cow nodded its head while punching a firakan in front of him.

“I am injured too and my healing ability is not able to keep up. Sigh… It seems I’ll have to use those two elements…”

“Moo?” The cow asked in confusion. What elements is he talking about? Is this something edible? A type of food he mentioned before that he’ll feed it?

Dennis clicked his tongue. “Tsk. Stop asking stupid questions, idiot cow. I am now gonna cast some spells and use those elements, even though I don’t want to. Don’t you dare tell anyone about this. I am gonna turn you to a steak if you do that.”

“MOO!?”
