Vampire's Slice Of Life

The Human race, one consisting of twelve Emperor Ranks, was a force to reckon with. They were really strong in all aspects ranging from their economy to their military.

Despite such strength, they were still not the overlords of the world because if they tried to be, the other races would ally together and suppress them.

The suppression would cause severe losses such as death of many Emperor Ranks and there was even a possibility of the death of their Supreme Rank, which would result in them getting stripped off of their main race status.

The consequences were severe but it didn't mean they couldn't dream about it.

The humans were a race that had survived the harshest of times. Even though after the Late Chaotic Era all sentient beings were wiped out, due to their vast intellect and wisdom, the humans had still survived.

No matter what times, be it the Desolate Era or the Chaotic Era, due to being much weaker than the other races physically, the humans had the ability to properly adapt themselves to their surroundings.

And knowing how war caused the Chaotic Era and how it ended, the humans were well aware that such an event mustn't happen again.

Everyone was now living in a prosperous and peaceful era, the one known as the Tranquillity Era, but despite knowing it, the humans still had the fire in them to rule over all other races.

Their race was suppressed in the old times and although they now had equal position, they had never once gotten to be the sole overlords.

This dream of ruling over everyone was something that was ingrained in the minds of everyone. The times may have passed but the humans were told about the history of the world generations after generations through direct communication.

There weren't any scriptures present that talked about these teachings because the humans of the past were afraid that the other races might band together and attack them if word of such a thing was out.

Thus, through indirect and soft methods, the future generations were told about the atrocities committed by the other races and every child had once dreamt of ruling over the other races.

But, as times changed, and after so many years, the humans of the current times had long forgotten about such a dream. They had gotten used to the current peaceful lifestyle and the good times.

The peaceful times had begun from the Ancient Tranquillity Era which was 500 million years ago and the humans from the Mediaeval Tranquillity Era(100 million years ago) felt that it was unnecessary to think about ruling over others.

The humans became peace loving and felt it was too much of a hassle to war with others. They adopted the motto of 'Live and let live.' and due to this, the current generations of humans were of the mindset of being peaceful.

However, there was still a bunch which didn't falter and they still had the fire in them to rule over everyone.

Despite becoming Emperor Ranks and knowing it was a waste to war, they hadn't changed their mindset.

The Human Emperor Ranks were thus present into three factions due to such a thing.

One faction wanted to war with the other races and rule over them while the other faction didn't want to do such things and wanted to live a peaceful life.

As for the third faction, they were neutral and had decided to wait and see how things would be. They weren't sure on what was the best among the two since going to war and ruling over everyone could result in great riches, but being content with what they had was also a good thing.

The neutral faction thus wasn't for or against the opinions of the other two factions and they acted as observers and also a group that was a bridge of communication between the warring and the peaceful faction.

Among the twelve Emperor Ranks, four had the mindset of going to war, four opposed it, and four were neutral.

It was well balanced and this was a major problem.

The warring and the peaceful factions always tried to pull people from the neutral and the opposite faction in their own so that they had a better status, but despite many years of trying, nobody had budged from their position and they could only hope to have a new Emperor Rank join them or have a miracle occur that would cause someone to leave their faction and join them.

There was a lot of tension present internally in the Human race but on surface, they appeared to be a close knit group and someone who would unite anytime if trouble arised.

The humans weren't like the other races who strictly believed in the power hierarchy. They were their own individual selves who liked to act upon their own thoughts.

They also didn't have any bloodline suppression among themselves and if needed, the ones at the bottom could band together and defeat someone a bit above them in hierarchy.

This had caused a major conflict in interests among them and the Human Continent a pretty lively place with all the small wars and the other things going on in it.

The humans had always tried to show that they were united, but the rulers of the other races knew about the truth and nothing was hidden from the eyes of the Supreme Ranks.

The Vampire Royal Clan, being the rulers of the Vampire race, was naturally not behind and didn't lack information on the internal politics of the humans.

No matter how much the humans had tried to hide it, having one of the strongest forces in the world, led by the strongest being in the world, there was nothing that could be hidden for long.

The head of the Vampire Royal Servants, the chief maid Luna, had all the information her Prince needed with her.

She told him about everything regarding the politics and once she was done, the Vampire Prince, Lith, couldn't help but flash an evil smile.

"I didn't know that there would be a place tailor-made for my needs. Good. Good."
