Vampire's Slice Of Life

"Yes, Madam. It surely is a good place." 

Rain replied to Arya's words.

Arya turned her face towards her and looked at her. She had a black blindfold on her eyes and couldn't see Rain with her eyes but there were various other ways. She smiled and said to her,

"Do you know how I found this, Rain?"

Rain shook her head. "Isn't that something confidential that only Madam should have information about?"

Arya laughed and said, "Not really. There are so many people working here and they know how to go in and out of this place. Since they know the existence of this place, you know the existence of this place, I don't think it'll hurt much to let you know a bit about its history as well."

Rain bowed and replied, "It's all upto Madam's wishes."

Rain didn't agree or disagree with Arya and left everything onto her.

"Tsk. Rain, you should always look in the person's eyes while speaking and also, speak what you actually feel and want." Arya took a sip of tea after saying so.

Rain thought to herself, 'but Madam, I can't even see your eyes…' She soon stopped thinking of useless stuff and said to Arya, "Madam, I respect you and have no other opinion on this. Whatever you say will be the right thing for me."

Arya put the cup down and said to Rain, "It seems I can't do anything about this even after so many years. No worries, anyway, so as I was saying… I found this place by accident."

Arya began speaking the tale of how she found the Hidden Continent.

This one time, Arya was bored and so she decided to fly from one end of the world to another. The Dragon Continent had the Equator passing through it and so Arya decided to fly along that.

She was an Emperor Rank for far too long and had nothing better to do. Usually, people didn't do such things as it was a waste of time. Flying like how Arya was trying to do was boring and arduous. There was nothing to see and it was just the blue skies and blue oceanic water in the vision with little to no signs of life present. 

Another thing was that it was risky. What if they decided to rest in some place in the middle of nowhere and some high level monster attacked them? Even though they may survive, they would be seriously injured. How are they supposed to travel back to their place with such injuries?

All in all, it was not worth the risk and almost nobody had plans or interests in flying like that. Even if some did do it, it was usually nothing too significant of an achievement and nobody really cared about it.

So, as Arya was bored and had nothing to do, she ventured out and started flying. After flying for a while, she saw an island with two palm trees. She wanted to rest a bit and so to reach closer to the island, she decided to use teleportation.

But to Arya's surprise, she wasn't able to. Feeling curious, Arya flew closer to the island and after reaching there, she inspected each and every place. She found there to be nothing extraordinary or out of place and everything felt normal. But, Arya didn't give up searching and soon she noticed that there were three rocks present around each of the two palm trees.

She got curious and wondered why it was there. Fiddling around with it for a while and one thing leading to another, Arya soon found some clues that led her to discover the code to enter some other dimension.

After Arya entered that dimension, she was shocked. The reason was that she was in the sky above a massive chunk of land. This chunk was almost as big as the Dragon Continent.

After she descended down on the land and roaming this place a bit, she, with the knowledge she possessed and after finding a few hints and clues on the land, came to a conclusion that this place was indeed the Hidden Continent.

The world was said to have 10 continents and not 9. The Neutral Continent was at an equal distance from every continent present and acted as a hub for a lot of things. Though that was the case, people thought that if they moved in the direction opposite to the Neutral Continent from their own, they would find the Neutral Continent or some continent like the Neutral Continent again.

But to everyone's surprise, at the opposite place of the Neutral Continent, there was nothing present other than the ocean and it disappointed a lot of people.

Soon, many scholars from all over the world came together and formulated a hypothesis that there definitely existed a 10th continent, which was the same as Neutral Continent, that is, equidistant from every other 8 continent and could act as a stop between two continents.

But for some reason or the other, this 10th continent was not available now. But they firmly believed that it was there, they just couldn't see it. Thus, they named it the Hidden Continent and said that if there were ever to be a 10th continent in this world, it would be definitely present in the place opposite to the Neutral Continent and equidistant from the other 8 continents.

By accident, Arya found this place and she ended up shifting everything related to Scelestus here. After she shifted everything to this place, she made the people bound through a seal to never speak about this and added a lot of clauses in them so that there was no loophole present that the people could take advantage of.

Thus, the main headquarters of Scelestus were present in this place and as Arya roamed this place more, she found a few tribes still living here and took them under her. She ensured that they got well educated and updated with the current world and after everything was done, she made them the employees of Scelestus and had them work for her.

She gave everyone a good life and also a chance to venture in the outside world and interact with the people from the outside. These people then became very loyal to Arya and Rain was among one of these people who was eternally grateful to Arya for giving her such a good shot at a new life. She cultivated hard and was now a King Rank.

Rain finally understood the history about the Hidden Continent and how Arya appeared in this place so suddenly. But despite knowing the story, she still had the same respect for Arya as before and was eternally grateful to her for giving her such a good life.

After the thing about the Hidden Continent was over, Arya decided to do some work in the organization. It was her organization and it was in this place that the servers hosting the entire Dark Web were present. There was a reason why Scelestus had the monopoly over them and it was this.

These servers were never seen by the public and they also couldn't find them. This thus became the safest place for everyone and hacking was almost nigh impossible. Of course, the only exception to all such things was Scelestus itself and could do anything they wanted. But despite having such power, they didn't do much and stayed passive and like a pacifist for most of the time.

Arya walked towards her chair and sitting on it, she took out her laptop and began working on it. This was her organization, she had to work as well. It wouldn't do without working. Now that she became a Supreme Rank, there was even more work in the initial days.

Rain left the place and went about her business and Arya continued to do her thing.

…..

A few months passed.

Lith could feel that he was very close to making a breakthrough to Rank 4. He was surprised with this speed as well but thinking that it was all due to his potential, he didn't dwell much on it and decided to continue cultivating.

He was out of his meditative state and Lilith knew about it. She looked at him and said, 

"You got distracted quite easily."

Lith opened his eyes and looking at Lilith, he said softly, "I comprehended a few things and wanted a bit of rest."

"Oh? But isn't meditating the same as resting?"

"No, it isn't. I may be not doing anything physically, mentally I am doing a lot.of things without breaks. It's tiring." 

"I see. Right, I can now recall and remember that I used to have those days as well. No worries, take a break and continue again after a while."

Lith shook his head. "No, I am not taking a break."

Lilith chuckled and getting close to him, she hugged him from behind and nibbling on his ear, she said, "you are taking a break."

"N–" Lith was about to say something when Lilith put a finger on his lips and shut him up.

"I won't take a no. Burnout is a real thing and it'll affect your cultivation if you are burnt out. Do you understand what mama is saying?" 

Lith thought for a bit and nodded. He was a college student previously and knew about such a thing. He felt that his mother's concerns were reasonable and thus he decided to take a break.

Lilith sat down beside him and put her silver hair to one side. She revealed her smooth neck and said to Lith, 

"Quench your thirst and sleep for a bit."
