The Rise Of Calamity

Once I stepped into the club, it seemed like everyone had become completely silent, all looking at me as if I was a mixture of a terrifying ghost and a gorgeous goddess.

"Looks like our main guest is here" Raquaz announced over the voice-enhancing crystal that caused his voice to echo throughout the room.

*CHEER*

*CHEER*

*CHEER*

I looked upon the cheering crowd with a dumbfounded expression.

'Since when was I this popular?'  I thought to myself

[I know right? I thought that you would have stayed the same, a loser, in both of your lives hahaha]

However, to Hela's surprise, a monovalent aura came out of me for a split second when she mentioned my past life, making her metaphorically choke on their words.

Ignoring everything around me, I walked past the cheering crowd and towards Rose.

"Miss Lilith! Can I please have your autograph!" One man with a flushed and fanatic face came up to me with a tunic shirt of his.

"Me too Miss Lilith! Another shoved his way through the crowd

"All of you move! I was here first!" Another man came out of nowhere and began to push everyone out of the way.

"Please Miss Lilith! Can you please just shake my hand?" One of the younger men stretched out his hand and begged me to shake his hand, yet instead, I slapped it away which seemed to have been the wrong choice out of the ones I had left.

"Ah! She touched me! I am never going to wash this hand ever again" The young man's face was completely flushed and he held the hand I slapped as if it was a delicate treasure. Others looked at him with envy before directing their gazes at me.

'What did I do to deserve this?' I cried inwardly

[Kill a few innocents when you rescued Olivia. Nothing much honestly]

'I know right! Ugh! Why does the universe have to be against me whenever it comes to socializing' I almost cried out of self-pity.

[Maybe you used all your good karma when you found that treasury] Hela suggested

'Maybe' I let out a sigh and finally decided to disperse the crowd that had decided to surround me.

Suddenly, a surge of killing intent exploded out of me like water erupting out of a cracked dam. It was not only destructive, but it grew in size as time passed. No matter how strong they were, almost everyone in the club felt their skin crawl as constant shudders went down their spines. It was as if thousands of ants had decided to dig into each one of their skins before slowly moving up their limbs. It was not a very nice feeling, to say the least.

After the club had quietened down a little, I finally decided to walk over to Rose who held 2 bottles in her hand waiting to give them to me.

"Here" She passed on both of them before watching them disappear the moment they touched me.

Suddenly, a wine glass appeared in my hand out of thin air before the bottle did the same and began to pour automatically into my cup. To my surprise, the blood had a much stronger scent, yet at the same time, the scent was not bad. The scent could have been considered to smell like an English flower garden in the middle of spring.

Everyone looked at me with a sense of anticipation, even the 5 who could rival Rose in power. They were all currently looking at me as I Rose my glass of blood to my nose, allowing me to take a whiff of it before finally gulping it all down without hesitation.

My eyes widened in utter shock the instant the blood touched my tongue. At the same time, I felt slightly woozy, something that I had not felt since the day I had been reincarnated into this world.

"WHOO!" I shouted at the top of my lungs after gulping down the 'wine'. Everyone else stares at me before staring at the person closest to them before also cheering and gulping down their drinks.

Overall, the entire night was not too bad. Even though the Wyvern blood had made me feel a little woozy the first time I took a sip, even a whole bottle was not able to get me drunk so I eventually decided to give up on drinking, or at least until I find some dragon blood which would probably be much better at making me drunk.

While June, River, and the rest of their party stayed at our table while speaking with Yuri and Rose every now and then to keep them in the conversation, Olivia took full part in their coverage and even lead the conversation at certain parts.

[You like her, don't you?]

'I don't know... I don't know what the difference between love and being simply sexually attracted to her body is. On the one hand, she is my closest friend, on the other hand, she is someone that I wouldn't mind having sex with every now and then. I don't want to ruin what we currently have by entangling a sexual relationship between the two of us, or at least not this early into our relationship.' I smiled wryly while looking at the cheerful Olivia speaking with everyone on the table while juggling the topics of conversation to make sure it would never become awkward.

[You have to remember that she also has a little bit of trauma after what had happened to her in the past.] 

'In the past?' I raised a brow. While I knew that there was something that had happened to her to become distrustful of men, an example being the first time she heard my voice over the mind link, I had not asked her anything about it. 

Another thing was that then, whenever I would use eyes of vanity, I would not be able to see or know what the person is experiencing, unlike now where I know exactly what the person is seeing, an example being my spar with Yuri.

[Oh yeah. Your power was a little low so you couldn't see it at the time, but one of her most traumatic experiences was walking into a burning house, seeing her limbless sister sprawled on the ground after being used like a sex doll before having to watch her mother have sex with 5 different men and enjoy it. Those were the same men that had killed her sister too by the way.]

'Oh god.... That is gruesome' My face distorted a little, but only a little.
