“This place is our mission, and everybody in this restaurant is a fucking vampire!”Lirielle's voice echoed throughout the restaurant as she stood on the table, pointing at Adrian with one hand while the other held her empty glass.For a few seconds, everybody just watched her, and Adrian acknowledged that she was drunk. However, he immediately started looking at the faces of the people around him, and that was when it hit him.A man sitting at the next table slowly turned his head toward her as his eyes glowed red.Another customer revealed his fangs, followed by the woman sitting beside him.All around the restaurant, the vampires began revealing their true appearances. Their eyes glowed red, their fangs extended, and sharp claws emerged from their fingers.The cheerful atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and Adrian immediately reached for his gun.“Holy shit!” he said as he looked around, counting the vampires as quickly as possible. However, he stopped halfway because there were

Lirielle’s POV“This place is our mission, and everybody in this restaurant is a fucking vampire!”I stood on the table, pointing at Adrian with one hand while holding my empty glass in the other.For a few seconds, the entire restaurant fell silent as he stared at me as though he had finally realized his senior had lost her mind.Well, the Korean barbecue had been excellent, and Adrian had turned out to be surprisingly entertaining company, but we had a mission to complete.A man sitting at the next table slowly turned his head toward me, his eyes glowing red. Another customer revealed his fangs, followed by the woman sitting beside him. Within seconds, the entire restaurant changed.Red eyes gleamed beneath the lights, fangs extended, and sharp claws emerged from fingers that had been holding chopsticks moments earlier.“Holy shit!” Adrian muttered as he reached for his gun.He began counting the vampires but stopped halfway through.“Lost count already? And we haven't even reached

She walked into the bar, and the sensation of bright lights and sounds hit her all at once.Loud music boomed from the speakers, and colourful lights illuminated the crowded room filled with people.She was wearing a face cap, a jacket, trousers, and sneakers for comfortable walking as she entered and approached the bartender.She walked to the seat in front of her and sat down, holding her nose to avoid the smell of alcohol and cigarettes. People were everywhere, on the dance floor, at tables, and on chairs, laughing, drinking, and having the time of their lives.She was sitting at the long bar counter where the bartender usually mixed drinks and slid them across to customers.“Good evening, ma'am. What can I get for you?” the bartender asked as he approached her.“I'm in the mood for something new, so I'm going to ask for your recommendation. Surprise me,” she replied, and the bartender smiled.“I'll do as you've requested,” he said and walked away.She watched the bartender mix mul

The bus rumbled along the road as it made its way back to Ashvale.It was already past midday, and the excitement of the excursion had gradually faded into exhaustion.Some students had fallen asleep against the windows, while others were busy playing games on their phones, sharing snacks, or arguing over something that would probably seem unimportant by the next morning.A few students had gathered toward the back of the bus, laughing loudly enough to disturb anyone attempting to sleep.Funny enough, none of the teachers bothered to stop them.After spending hours supervising teenagers at Angkor Wat, they had more than earned the right to enjoy a peaceful ride home.At the front of the bus, Joanne sat beside the driver, chatting with him about something Adrian couldn't hear.She appeared perfectly relaxed, as though she hadn't just delivered a warning that had turned his world upside down.One of your students is a vampire.He heard her voice again in his head as he replayed that con

The abandoned factory stood on the outskirts of Ashvale, surrounded by rusted fences and overgrown vegetation.Several broken windows lined its walls, and the enormous metal doors at the entrance were partially open. From the outside, the building looked like an ordinary abandoned facility, but unfortunately, it was anything but ordinary.Adrian stood beside Lirielle, examining the building while holding the new silver dagger she had given him."So, this is the place?" he asked."Yep.""Come on. Let's get this over with. I've got better things to do than stand outside a dirty factory," Lirielle said as she led the way.The moment they stepped through the entrance, Lirielle suddenly cupped her hands around her mouth."HEY, YOU BLOOD-SUCKING BASTARDS!"Her voice echoed throughout the enormous facility, gaining the attention of everyone inside."BLACK CROSS AGENTS ARE HERE! EVERY VAMPIRE IN THIS BUILDING IS ABOUT TO DIE!""...Do you always announce yourself before a fight?" Adrian asked,
