My Vampire Awakening Chapter 2

The sound of an alarm blaring at 8 AM had gone off for less than a second before a hand reached out and stopped it. It was less than a second, and it was always this way. Looking up, Galen stared at his apartment ceiling before eventually lifting his head off his bed.

His window shade turned from pitch black and flickered slowly like a tint that was wearing off, revealing the light inside his luxury apartment. Today was a Monday, and it was one of two days off that Galen had from the Order.

Meeting his sister, he had stayed up late last night drinking, and although he could enjoy the taste, there were no effects from the alcohol on his body. No headache, no pains, and he didn't even feel tired. It was the norm for him; this life had become the norm for him.

Getting up, Galen went through his routine, placing various devices on his mouth to clean his teeth while also talking to his house assistant.

The wage of being in the Order wouldn't usually allow a person to live in such a luxurious apartment, especially in the center of Green City, at least not one on Galen's level.

However, there was a lot left to Galen and Minny, being the descendants of the great Quinn. The world knew of his father's feats; he was taught in history books, but his disappearance wasn't quite recorded.

It was explained that he wanted a peaceful life and never appeared again, with no one knowing the date of his death but assumed that he had passed on.

There were really only a handful of people that knew, but in the six years after Quinn had passed, others that knew him had decided to do the same—past friends of Quinn who had the choice to continue living on but felt as if they had lived far too long.

All of them disappearing, Galen didn't understand his father or them, and as time went on he had fewer people to talk with. Regardless, a massive amount of wealth was given to him, and even if he didn't have that, there was always the option to go to the Green Family who practically controlled everything.

Military bases, countries, and a few planets outside of the one they were currently on. Galen, telling them his name and them confirming his DNA, they would always treat him to whatever he needed, but he already had everything he could have.

The things that he did want—it was impossible, and his duty in the Order was the only thing that gave him slight purpose, which was why he hated days like these—days off.

"Switch everything off, I'm heading out for the day," Galen said as he pressed his watch, and his favorite clothes appeared: a black jacket, white shirt, boots, and jeans.

Right after, he headed to the apartment's underground car park, and there was a black levitating motorbike. Although it had no motor and ran off crystal energy, it also had no wheels since it could travel through the air. The name was a keepsake from olden times.

Getting on the vehicle, Galen went off to ride through the city. When one was riding in the air, there were holographic borders one needed to follow. It acted like a highway for flying vehicles; otherwise, people would be crashing into each other all the time.

Whizzing through the city, Galen was going at fast speeds between the traffic. His mind filled with strange thoughts.

'Why can't I just be like Minny? She has a regular office job and is just enjoying things, right? Am I the only one that feels this way? Is there something wrong with me? Is it because I'm different?'

Galen didn't know the answer, and his thoughts were soon interrupted by what he could see up ahead. Up high, close to the high-rise buildings, he could see a spark in the air. Several sparks were going off, looking like thunder. But there were no clouds, and the lightning wasn't striking the ground either.

"The energy from that, I can feel it all the way from here, and what's happening right now... it can't be, can it?"

What Galen was seeing he had seen happen a few times on his tasks with the Order and in the past when he was a kid. What he was witnessing looked like an opening of a portal but on the other side.

Portal exploration had practically been banned. This was an order from Logan Green and a passed-on law, when Quinn had learned that the exploration of humans was bringing them the attention of the Celestials.

The exploration had come to a stop, to make sure that the humans would never become a threat that the Celestials wished to deal with.

Still, from time to time, strange energy occurrences would happen, and portals would break out, linked from the beast planets. When these creatures entered, the Order or general public would deal with it, since there were many that had ability powers anyway, and the beasts were small problems.

The size of what he was witnessing right now—it was unheard of, though. It was then that all of the sparks in the air started to connect. As they did, a giant ring had appeared in the sky above the city, and the center started to fill and swirl with a strange array of colors.

Immediately after, a claw was seen dropping down from the portal—four to be exact at the same time. Following after, four legs could be seen with a large white-furred body. It fell onto the city, crashing on top of several buildings and shaking the entire place.

It was a beast, with a large face, and had swirling golden hair coming from the top of its mouth along its body. The swirling yellow hair was sparking constant blue lightning in every direction.

Immediately after, a sounding alarm was heard playing throughout the city.

"Alert, Alert, in Drew District, a Demi-god tier beast has appeared."

"A Demi-god tier beast, right in the center of the city!" Galen said. "That's never happened before and so close, and that's just under a Demon Tier! The Order—they're not going to be able to handle this!"

Twisting the throttle of his bike, Galen rushed off towards the beast.
