THE LIFELINE

Get out of this house and never come back you illegitimate child" you Mrs haff told Edward. She instructed the made to throw his luggage. "Mom, you are abandoning me for a man that is not my father, all his sons are building their future and prepare towards the it the way they like but you want him to dictate mine to me, not possible" Edward told Mrs haff. "Pak, Pak, Pak" he was gifted three simultaneous slaps. Mrs haff wanted to give him another one but she was stopped by her husband Edward's step-dad. They heard a at the gate, "open the gate" his step-dad instructed the maid.

Three well armed soldiers entered. "That's him" Mrs haff pointed at Edward. "I can't believe you are doing this mom", he said to his mom. "Pak" I he was give a slap that made him retreated five steps. "Carry him", one of the soldiers instructed and he was carried to the gate while his luggage was burnt that night.

Edward is the son of Mrs haff, he also has an elder sister, two elder brothers with a step-sister. There are some circumstances surrounding his birth that was not told to him. The hospital he was give birth to was at a remote village. His father was killed that night by some weird creatures, it was his grandfather that saved him and his mother, the moved to the city when Edward's grandfather left them. He has some features that cannot be considered in the human world. He has a red eyeball, long hair, the upper part was black while the lower part of the hair is pure red and it add a strangeness to his handsome self. He also has a strange fast healing ability with non humanistic memory. The combination of this makes him an handsome and intelligent person with some danger added to it. He just wrote his WAEC and JAMB, he was instructed to register for surveying but he registered for computer engineering, that was the reason behind the event that took place that night.

A week later he was released from the army custody with no injury. He was beaten badly and also tortured the way hardened criminal are been tortured but his injuries were able to heal without any medication or treatment. He went to Mrs haff's house, there was no one at home, he entered the house with the spare keys he stole. He took the Important documents and searched the house for his luggages but he found nothing. He locked the house and was about to go when he heard sirens. "Stop you are under arrest for breaking into a persons house". The police surrounded him, an handcuff was put on his hands and he was dragged away. Mrs haff took the case to court. A bright Monday morning the birds are singing and people are preparing to go to their work place, but people from Mrs haff's family and a few of Edward's friend are at the entrance of the SUPREME COURT. Mrs haff, her husband with chris (Edward's step-sister) are standing at one corner while Edward's friend is at another Comer of the side. The court is very large, the surroundings is up to one acre, one part of it is, private helicopter with haff's group in it. Sitting inside it are Edward's three elders. The elder sister come down from the is helicopter and she joi to Mrs haff. "Mom I want to talk with you", she told Mrs haff. They went to one remote corner of the court. "Mom what are you doing" Jane started. "To who"? Mrs haff asked innocently. "Edward" she answered, "oh, that demon doing what should be done by an animal, he broke into the house and stole our goods, not only that he almost killed Chris" Mrs haff answered". You are defaming your son so that he can be killed, I can't believe what you are doing ever since you married him, you're turned evi...., "pak" Jane was gifted a slap. "Mom, you slapped me" she asked. "Pak" she was gifted another one. Mrs haff went out angrily.

Edward was dragged down the police van with handcuff on his hand. Mrs haff gave a signal to Chris and she went to meet a person. Reporters and some people rushed in. "You evil beast". They started to throw eggs at him, the police left him and went to one corner. He was beaten, the police later intervene he was already bleeding, a drop of blood dropped from his head into his mouth. "First step in becoming a blooded vampire.....". It was shown on a system and he looked at it surprised. "You are a vampire by birth, but you are not active, it was your grandfather that locked me and it's only a drop of blood from you and water of mystery that will turn you into a pure blooded one. The system further explained." Who killed my father" he thought then the system told him that it was the council that killed his father, they were looking for Edward and they had to kill his father. It was you grandfather that placed a seal on you that's why you've not been discovered and killed, the system said. "Why are they after me he further thought", close your eyes the system instructed him. He closed his eyes and he saw a red and white matter moving around his body with some lightning. Sorry am late, he was brought back to life by the voice of the judge. Everyone entered the court. "Who is the lawyer of haff's family". Their judge moved forward. "Who is the lawyer of Mr Edward". The judge asked again. No one came out, after some minutes Jane and a person entered,. "It was a lawyer that Jane hired, she is the most influential person In law firm. Mrs haff got angry to the extent that she started to shake her visibly. The trial started and Edward was gaining upper hand.

After thirsty minutes, a person entered and went directly to Mrs haff. "Evidence" Mrs haff raised her hand and shouted. They took the drive from her and gave it to the judge. The judge played it and gave it to the two lawyers and it was later played. It was a video of Edward Entering the house and pointing a gun at Chris. Every one was surprised including Jane and her layer. I think with this evidence you are guilty of robbery and attempts of murder, "therefore you you are hereby sentenced to death by firing squad", the judge pronounced.

Is this how you are going to die, Edward thought to himself. The clerk wanted to dismiss everyone when someone entered, it was his grandfather, a computer wizard that is influential than most politicians. His grandfather has lived up to 1200 years, he is a man with white hair and a red eye ball, a person every vampire tribe don't want to you with into the world of power and a person most influential figures don't want to you with because, he can destroy millions of things with a call. His grandfather also had a daughter that had another daughter who is the famous musician in china and also a pure blooded vampire but does not have a system. "Who told you the evidence are real". Crest talen (Edward's grandfather) said. The people freezed with the judge. "Father " Mrs haff said. "Crest whispered some things see into his grand daughter (Percy talen) the famous musicians" ear who later whispered something into the guards ear. The guard went toward the judge and gave him a disk. It was played. "Yes, I want his face to be on that man's face, no mistake ", everyone was surprised while Mrs Haff and Chris looked down. "Vicious human beings, wicked beings, all kind of comments were thrown at them. Honey from china investigative system shows that this video is 99.99% fake. "The guards said", and typed something after ten minutes, the screen replayed to the false evidence and was showing red. Ahh everyone shouted. "Silence crest ordered and there was silence everywhere. He went to Mrs Haff and said I disown you today and am taking my grandson away. The handcuffs were removed from Edwards hand. He went towards his grandfather and hugged him. They hugged each other tightly more, "grandson am sorry that am late" crest said (Edwards grandfather). "Grandfather" he said, an unknown power want to enter my body not quite long ago. Do you want to all it Yes or No his grandfather said. He told him that the system picked him because it knows his grandfather can't do anything to Edward. This is your cousin crest face Percy and said to Edward. "Woah" everyone in the court shouted including the reporters, they wanted to take pictures but they were stopped by the fierce look on the guard face. Percy spread her arms open, she is a well endowed slim lady. I'm sorry for not been there where you needed me the most. She moved closer to him and hugged him. If you turn me down next time I will deal with you brother, I never thought I have someone like you, "Percy said". He looked towards his grandfather's place and he saw Jane talking talking to crest. Jane he called out!!! The other two hated him because of his strange features. Jane hugged him. I'll miss you brother, she said to him. Don't worry I'll get in touch with you, he told her amidst tears. They went towards the helicopter waiting for them outside. The moment he went out of the shade and came directly In contact with sunlight. Direct contact with sunlight, "all stats have been decreased by 70%" the system told him. He almost fell down but Percy was fast enough to carry him. They went towards the helicopter, reporters came out and took their pictures. There were flashes of light following them. The helicopter took off. In the plane Edward already freshened up and he was wearing a new cloth. The time to china is one week but you've gotten to china before that time, I know you have questions to ask me, "Edwards grandfather told Edward". What did you pass into. Edward asked. I pass some strength into you, you see you are a different vampire because of the system you have, the moment you broke the spell I gave to you you've become a different person but not yet a vampire unless you drink water of mystery but you can now do things like a vampire. "Master we've arrived", the pilot told him. His grandfather brought a box out and open it, inside it a long paper and a sword. " You will get the water of mystery yourself", the map will tell you where it is so you will put it in this, crest gave him a red bottle with fangs on it. What is the meaning of the sword I'm given, he thought, "it is a useful sword for you since you are not yet powerful, you will meet basic tier beast and they are useful because of their crystal that can be used to make weapons at this stage, you don't have problem except you meet intermediate beast because they drink water of mystery to level up faster", the system explained. These are food and water for you because it will take at least some hours, Percy told him.

He went out of the plane and he started to go along a dirty narrow path. He walked for one hour before he reached the end of the narrow path, he saw a cave. "Let me eat in that" he thought and went towards the cave. A red light came out from his chest and went towards the cave like a tiny rope. How many beast are there? He got the trick. There are three basic tier beasts, advise you not to go there, the system told him.

He went towards the cave and knocked. "Rooooooooahhhh", he was greeted by roars of beasts. He hid, the three rushed out and looked for the intruder, one spotted him and ran towards him, he wielded his sword. Let's do this he thought. He change into fighting stance. The beast was bringing his claw to his face, he pinned its head down to the ground then climber on it and chop its head off. The other two sensed one is not with them and they looked back. Then they saw Edward and ran towards him. Do you want to retain the crystal? The system asked, "yes he thought". The other two jumped up and brought their fangs down to him, he rolled to the ground, "you see that tree you can climb on it", the system told him. He ran towards the tree and climbed it with his legs, he jumped on a beast and stabbed it, the beast died immediately. He jumped down and ran towards the third beast and dogged the fang coming towards him then he stabbed the beast. Do you want to obtain beast crystal? The system asked, yes... Edward thought. The fight took thirty minutes strength.... recovering the system told him. You can taste the blood it gives five extra stat with some chances to break through levels, the system explained further more. He went towards the beast, but it is irritating he told himself. He took a drop of blood and started to drink water, challenge passed. Drinking 1 litre of water gives 1 stat.

The system told him. He took an ham burger out and ate it. Which path again he thought, your left, the system told him. He went towards the path , he spent thirty minutes before he met with a fanged boar. Run.... this is an intermediate beast you can't kill it you will have to take defeat for instance level up to level ten before you can chop off its head, the system told him. Don't worry I can face it he assure himself. Its fang are poisonous the system said. In front of the fanged boar was a lady fighting with it. He ran there and wielded his sword. The beast saw him and ran towards him. "Gbrawwwwwwwww" the metal sword met the metal fang hit themselves and he retreated five to six steps. The beast bought the claw to his eyes, he blocked it with the sword and he was thrown ten metres back. The fanged boar ran towards him again, he dodged and stabbed it, "Roarrrrr" the boar shouted and he was thrown ten metres again, he was paralyzed for a minute. The boar ran towards him, he struggled but couldn't stand. He then closed his eyes awaits death, when he heard sounds of metal fang hitting themselves he opened his eyes and saw a dragon holding the boar. He quickly took advantage of the dragons' help and climbed onto the dragon then chop the head of the boar off. Do you want to obtain beast crystal? The system asked, yes he thought. An unknown Force want to..... the system went off and some white matters entered his body, they merged with the white matter and turned into another thing. He can't be the chosen one the lady thought., "Please what's that", he asked the lady. Dragon core the lady answered. You have to reach the foundation establishment realm, and you cultivate by obtaining nature essence, the dragon core proves that you are the chosen person. Dragons live among human, many of them are sent from the Almighty, you have a large responsibility, don't worry fate will bring us together because part of my immortal body is with you. I'm kress pagton, the princess of the east ocean dragon clan, the lady told him and disappeared. He went towards the dead boar and took the blood.

The other basic beasts sensed something and they went towards him, they saw the dead boar and ran away. He walks for another four hours before he met a cave.He entered the cave but saw nothing except for a little white pet.

"Give it blood to tame it", the system told the system told him. He gave the pet his blood. That's a snow lion, it will become loyal and take you as it's master, it can fly and defend you the system explained. However, it is still a level one beast you have to noture it but it can kill basic beasts now, the system further explained. The little white pet was rolling on the ground in front of him. How can I cultivate it he asked the system??? The system answered. He sat down cross legged and closed his eyes, he saw some pure smoke entering his body and unlocking his mendians, he already reached the foundation establishment realm. He continued to obtain the pure smoke and unlock an opening. He already reached li opening. He felt a pain in his body, he slept and drenched his teeth, the pain was like his bones were breaking and reforming. Ahhhhhhhh he shouted due to the unbearable pain. After some minutes the pain subsided. Am alive he looked himself.
