Chapter-6 The Fear

The night lit the stars because he was afraid of his own darkness.

Early in the morning, even without the sun.

Underneath a specific region of the castle, Cain was shirtless showing his muscles perfectly aligned as if he had sculpted by god or Lucifer himself.

He looked at the dark energy emanating from his hand with a lively smile. That's the energy every monster needs to get stronger.

Fear, this and the collective name for almost all monsters, whether western or eastern, use to call the energy that gave them life. As the name indicates, the fear and emotion generated when an intelligent being is afraid of something.

With this were born the first monsters, Youkais, spirits and so on. The born monsters of negative energy, were naturally perverse and violent, so they quickly used the advantage of their absolute strength to dominate the weaker races, thus gaining even more fear of human beings and other races with intelligence.

But that didn't last long either. Humans discovered very special energy that was easily manipulated for those who had talent. In the West it was called sis, in the East, it had more names like Reiki, spiritual energy. With the discovery of universal magic, humans and other races were able to counter-attack the monsters.

This gave rise to a rather rigorous profession in the world, Monster Hunter or as they say in the East, exorcist.

This made an eternal feud between the humans and the monsters that practically hate each other, until the last cell of their blood.

As a vampire, Cain need not worry too much about the amount of fear in his body, because almost the entire continent of Europe knows the legend of vampires, so just wait and in time he will become stronger with time.

But it is precisely time that Cain does not have. He knows that for the next four hundred years. Humans will lose the fear they have for the monsters with firearms that they themselves invented, and the so-called science that will explain how, the world works in the form of equations.

In the next few centuries less and fewer monsters will be born until naturally, the monsters go into extinction.

Fortunately, to stop this process of extinction, there is a world called Gensokyo where monsters and humans live together. Although they still fight each other.

Since he awoke, Cain feels that something bad is going to happen so he, needs to get stronger, as soon as possible.

"Begin..." Cain whispered closing his eyes and visualizing a whole world full of red lines, he tried to move these red lines but they refused to move even for an inch.

Cain did not give up and tried to move the red lines with everything he could, but the result was the same, the red lines that controlled reality refused to move.

Cain tried to use something different to move the lines of reality and used fear and saw that he made one of the red lines wave slightly, although almost imperceptible but moved.

Seeing this, Cain knows that now to manipulate reality, he must use, fear as fuel for all ability begins to work.

Cain took a deep breath and calmed down, he then began to train again with the minimum movements necessary.

Every time he used fear, it was easier in the next movement and so it went on until late afternoon when Cain was lying on the ground breathing heavily, but the smile of satisfaction could not be hidden from his lips.

Every time, he became familiar with using fear, he became stronger. This feeling of feeling his own power growing. cannot be described in words.

To finish the day's training, Cain gently touched the ground and began to mobilize the rest of the fear he still had in his body, to the fingertips of his hand.

He then activates the ability to manipulate reality and gently touches the red lines with his fingertips and the ground begins to open, until a crevice five meters long and two meters wide forms.

Although exhausted and full of fatigue, Cain still showed a great smile full of happiness and satisfaction seeing his hard work on the ground.

Cain then got up slowly from the ground and walked outside the training camp, he planned to take a bath and then go to eat something to quench his bloodlust.

Leaving the training camp, Cain was greeted by a small maid waiting for him while he held in his arms a black cloth resembling a towel only thinner.

The girl looked thirteen, she had short silver hair and two beautiful blue eyes, along with the maid's clothes, she looked extraordinarily lovely.

"Master, your towel." The little white-haired maid spoke timidly to Cain as she handed him the black towel and then took a few steps back, awaiting Cain's next orders in silence.

"What's your name and are you human?" Cain asked, wiping the sweat off his body with the black towel while looking at the maid with curiosity, strangely enough, he found the girl quite familiar.

"Master, my name and Sakuya Izayoi and yes, I am human," Sakuya spoke bowing to Cain as she tried to calm her little heart, which was almost bursting from her chest.

Hearing the girl's name, Cain became confused and soon recognized Sakuya Izayoi as his sister Remilia's future head maid. Cain was sure that Sakuya was a vampire hunter, so how, she could be in the castle of the Scarlet family.

"Sakuya you're not from the castle, right," Cain asked, looking at the girl with curiosity, after all, manipulating space and time is not for anyone, much less a thirteen-year-old human.

He still remembers when Sakuya compressed time and space to create an alternative universe. Only to increase the size of Remilia's future residence.

"Yes Master, I am not from the castle. I was rescued by Lady Remilia four months ago, and to reward her kindness, I decided to be a castle maid." Sakuya spoke respectfully to Cain, who smiled at Sakuya's nervous look.

"No need to be afraid, I won't bite, of course not now..." Cain spoke gently as he lifted Sakuya's chin with his finger and looked directly into her blue eyes.

Feeling the inebriating smell of blood on Sakuya's neck, Cain almost lost control and sucked her blood, but he calmed down at the last moment when he was almost biting Sakuya's beautiful neck.

"As of today, you are my personal servant, you need to obey no orders but my own," Cain spoke by gently biting Sakuya's neck as he looked at her with provocation.

After playing with his new maid, Cain went straight to the bath.
