บททั้งหมดของ An Alpha tryst with the vampire : บทที่ 161 - บทที่ 170

Belle was a sociopath.Ever since she was young, she had known what was right and wrong, but it never really mattered to her.What she cared about most was what suited her best. Despite this, she wore a mask that showed others the perfect person they wanted to see.She made tons of friends, and she had very few enemies. The few that she had—those who were able to see beyond her facade—were dealt with promptly.Of course, she had never killed anyone, but there was more than one way to ruin a person.Belle’s experience in High School was pretty much the same.However, despite her prim and proper behavior and her obvious appeal, she couldn’t get past two social walls that stood far taller than her.Alicia and Adonis.These two were the most popular in their class, as well as part of the most popular students in school.It annoyed her.It irked Belle to her core that she couldn’t triumph over them.She could not beat Alicia in looks, and Adonis had a more authentic personality than she

The students—or rather, Otherworlders—understood what was expected of them.As they all stood in the gladiator ring, different thoughts were going on in their respective minds.What kinds of monsters would they fight? Would they be tough opponents? Would it be dangerous?Naturally, some were scared. However, most were thrilled by the upcoming challenge.They were confident that none of their instructors would let anything bad happen to them.Their lives weren’t at risk at all.Among the eager participants was Rey, buzzing with excitement for two main reasons.One, he wanted to see how his Class would give him extra Stats after Leveling Up.‘I’m very close, so I should be able to hit Level 20 today…’Then, there was the second reason.‘I want to see how everyone does in this practical exercise…’They had never fought monsters during training, so this would be a new experience for most of the people gathered in the massive field.‘How will they handle it? What strategies will they use?

Rey found it weird that Belle had just asked the question so casually, but after considering the fact that she freely told him hers, it had to mean they were close.Since he didn’t know the nature of their relationship, he decided not to bother with it and just listen like the busybody that he was.As he stood there, a sudden voice interrupted.“Hey Rey, do you have a moment?” Rey heard a whisper behind him he kept his attention fixed on Belle and Adonis, dismissing the voice.“You really did well with those—”“Not now! Hold on…” Rey didn’t even bother looking behind him as he kept his gaze on the two.“O-okay…”He felt a little bad for what he did, but this was a crucial moment for him.Once he heard what he wanted, he would apologize and hear the person out.Since he didn’t recognize the voice, it was probably a random student.“… Ah, I’m in Level 9 now.”‘WHAAAAAT?!’ Rey couldn’t believe his ears.“Almost Level 10 too…”‘HOW IS THIS EVEN FAIR?!’ He wanted to scream these words ou

“I was only ever interested in one, but when I realized he was a jerk, I cut ties with him.”Alicia then speculated that the senior’s bruised ego might have driven him to spread rumors about her. However, Alicia’s reputation was solid enough that people mostly interpreted it as her casually dating seniors—nothing more, nothing less.Rey's surprise was evident as he muttered, “Oh, wow. I never imagined it was like that.” He turned to Alicia, who simply shrugged in response.“Things aren’t always what they seem. If we listen to everyone’s opinions and don’t take time to form our own, we’ll just end up drowning in misinformation.”Rey thought about Alicia's words, finding them surprisingly insightful, yet he struggled to express his thoughts without seeming cheesy.“That's actually quite smart.” He finally settled on the most neutral way to put it."I know, right?" Alicia replied, her hand playfully sweeping back her long hair as she chuckled, trying to act like a wise diva."Pfft!" Rey

“U-uhh…”Alicia let out a groan as she slowly blinked her eyes open. The room around her was covered in darkness, and her vision struggled to clear the blur. The combination of darkness and her bleary sight made everything a chaotic mess.Her whole body ached and with each movement, her head pounded. Even the simple act of opening her eyes felt like a chore due to the pain that radiated throughout her body.“You’re… awake… huh?” A familiar voice asked, coming from somewhere close by.Though she couldn’t make out the face, she recognized the familiar voice instantly.“B-Billy…?” Her voice was barely a whisper, her throat feeling like it was on fire with each word.Her discomfort made it hard to focus on anything else.‘What happened? Why am I here? Where is this place? Why is Billy—?’Just as Alicia was about to piece together her thoughts, fragments of recent memories flooded her mind.She remembered how Rey approached her in the library, and how they went to a shady shop.And then…
