Vampire's Slice Of Life

?Sweet and sour stir fry, spicy dragon plant sushi, glazed chili honeycomb, sour tarts, sweet fruit custard, salty pickled cabbages, clear soup, aromatic seven herbs tea…

There were twenty different types of dishes Lith and Dennis each made. Half of them were sweet while the rest were a mix of spicy, sour, and salty.

Jenna's mouth was wide open as she saw a big tray filled with forty different types of dishes!

She had to rub her eyes constantly to see if she wasn't dreaming!

Lith and Dennis did not see her reaction and went to the idol of the deity.

They placed the big tray in front of the idol and clasped their hands.

"Revered one, accept this humble offering. It's not much, but it's the best we could cook up." Dennis said in a calm tone.

Jenna looked at him and shook her head. There was no way that a rock idol was going to eat—

Fuuussshhhh!

A breeze appeared and swept away all the dishes laid out in front, making Jenna dumbfounded while Lith and Dennis smiled.

For a minute there was no further reaction, but right then, the rock idol began shaking. .

Bright light emitted out of the rock and soon, Lith and Dennis saw an imposing figure with a gentle aura.

The face was shrouded in bright mist, but judging from his body language, the deity seemed to be in a good mood.

"You have my attention, children." A soft and gentle voice resounded in the two's ears.

Jenna, who heard this, held her head as she felt dizzy and took support of a nearby rock to stand still.

These events were far too dramatic!

She could not believe that a mere rock had an active deity within it!

"How was the food?" This was the first thing Dennis asked.

Lith would've asked the same thing honestly. It was like an inbuilt reflex they had after so many years of training.

"Ha ha~…" The deity found the situation amusing.

He thought these two would ask him for some treasure or some secrets, having impressed him, but the situation was quite different and exceeded his expectations.

"I have to say, I've never had such tasty vegetarian food before." The deity was honest.

Making vegetarian dishes tasty was not easy. At best, the deity had consumed a few sweet puddings made from soy milk and a few different types of dumplings and stir fries.

However, none of them could even come close to what Lith and Dennis had made in the span of a few hours.

From extracting sugar to turning it into custard, they had set the bar too high with their techniques. They used nothing from the outside—not even salt! Everything was harvested from the forest itself. It was truly impressive!

"It's good that you liked it. Now, since you said you're listening, I'd first like to ask—did you get me out of the illusion?"

"Yes." The deity said flatly.

Lith nodded and didn't ask further. Nobody helped anybody for free and this deity might have his reasons.

"Then, was it due to a devil?"

"Yes." The deity said flatly once again.

"Do you know anything about our companions and where they might be?"

"Heh heh~… little one, have you not heard of the legend of this world and the riddles?" The deity didn't answer straight this time.

Lith expected this much. "Yes. What about them?"

"I can only say… try to find those ingredients and upon journeying, you are sure to come across your companions."

Dennis knitted his brows. "But what if they die by the time we reach them?"

"They won't." The deity said softly. "At least till the last day, that is."

This couldn't be any more straightforward. Lith and Dennis both were told that Miwa and Ralph wouldn't be killed till the hundred and first day.

A day and a half had already passed since they arrived here, meaning they had a little less than a hundred days on them.

"I feel I've answered your queries by now. Before leaving, I'll tell you one last thing. There are many eyes on this world. Not every deity who helps you is an ally and not every deity that strikes you is a foe. Staying vigilant during the journey is good, but you need to be even more careful after your journey ends. Alright, I wish you two the best in your endeavour."

The deity vanished after saying so and left the two questioning things.

Just by a simple few sentences, he had puzzled the two to a great extent and made them wonder just what was up with this world?

Not just Lith, even Dennis and the rest had thought that this world would test their survival skills—by which they expected to get themselves thrown into harsh environments with lurking monsters, ferocious beasts, poisonous plants, and deadly traps.

They did not expect to be thrown into a world where they had to survive between the friction of two races along with many different unknown deities watching them.

The former would've been easy because these four had survived through extreme conditions of training. As for the latter… It was really a hassle.

Dennis did not know much about it, but Lith who had some knowledge about otherworldly deities knew that—Huh!?

Wait a second!

'What in the actual fuck…' Lith thought to himself.

He turned to look at Dennis and said, "Go to Jenna's place and wait for me. I have some urgent work and will be back soon."

Without waiting for a response from Dennis, Lith immediately left the place and went to some safe, secluded place.

Having found the place, he sat cross-legged and thought to himself:

'System… are you there?'

[The system has always been with Host.]

'Huh? Did the system just portray some emotion?'

[Host is imagining things.]

'Right…'

Shaking his head, Lith let go of all weird thoughts and focused on one thing—his system!

That's right! He had totally forgotten in these past years that he possessed a system!

This thing had not given him any notification over the years or made any sound, so naturally Lith forgot about its existence.

However, with the topic of otherworldly deities coming in, Lith suddenly recalled Grand Lust Sovereign and then the system.

This thing was an encyclopaedia and contained a library of information, all thanks to GLS!

Saying or thinking the word Grand Lust Sovereign repeatedly was tiring, hence Lith shortened it to GLS.

Putting aside everything, Lith immediately asked the system, 'Why haven't there been any notifications?'

[Host had asked to not notify anything.]

'What…' Lith didn't properly remember this. 'If I had asked you to not notify me, wouldn't it be for a certain period of time?'

[Host had specified: "Do not send me any notifications until I say so!"]

[Here is the clip from that day…]
