"Sigh… I don\'t know if I should be happy about it or sad," Leeway spoke as he shook his head in slight dejection. Gabriel, who was observing us, was quite confused at the moment. Though I could see a glint of complexion in his eyes as he saw the number before looking at me.

"Nothing. Gabriel… actually something happened," Leeway then began to explain the story of Alissa and two memories he had. He also explained how I had memories of the other life and not this life… which made Gabriel a bit surprised, but he then calmed down a little as he smiled,

"Do you want me to teach Michael how to use his energy properly?"

Leeway nodded with a smile as he looked at me and spoke,"you can trust Gabriel as much as you trust me."

\'None?\' I questioned. Even though this guy was my best friend… I did not know if he was my best friend. But still, there is no harm in taking things slow. For now, let\'s observe…

I nodded at him, making him smile as he then spoke,"Gabriel. Tell him the ins and outs of this place. And make sure he doesn\'t get harmed by any of my brothers or sisters." Leeway sure looked like the party leaders you find in fantasy worlds. He had that charisma, too. Sad that he looked like he was trying too hard at everything he was doing…

"I will leave now, Michael. Gabriel will fill you in with everything. See you later," Leeway spoke as he moved away from the room, leaving Gabriel and I by ourselves.

I saw his back slowly vanishing away from my view as I then turned to Gabriel, who seemed to ponder a little before speaking,

"It would be better if I start from the beginning."

"You don\'t hate me?" I was a bit curious. The previous butler and that cousin of Leeway, Adriel, were pretty much open about their hatred. They might even kill me if they had the chance to… but I wonder why Gabriel acts differently.

"I do," he answered honestly. Though I still didn\'t find any hate inside of him. 

"But that and this are different. It is my duty to fulfill my master\'s wishes. What I feel has nothing to do with what I have to do," he said as he looked at me before continuing,"if you stop smiling like an idiot, then can we begin?"

I chuckled as I nodded before letting him speak.

He then began to explain about vampires, which was pretty much the same as what I heard from Silver. And then there were things about dark forces that are in control of most things. They are far more dangerous than vampires, but for some reason they don\'t take any steps unless they really want something.

Then he added about the relationship between the Holy Empire, which Leeway was a part of, and its allies, who also wanted to get rid of all the dark forces.

\'The dark forces? I wonder if it has anything to do with Angela… Let\'s find that out later,\' I thought for a couple of seconds before turning towards Gabriel.

"So these allies of the Holy Empire… what kind of people are they?" I wondered if they were worth taking control over or not. 

"The Crimson Church contains holy vampires and witches who fight against the dark forces. As for the hunters, they are a bunch of assassins with special powers and take on any form of a job. They not only hunt vampires but also humans. All that matters to them is the price," spoke Gabriel as he pondered in bits about it.

"Who is the leader of those hunters?" I asked as my interest piqued… by themselves they are worthless, but if I add something of my own, maybe I can make things interesting? Let\'s see what we can do here…

"That is something that nobody knows," Gabriel spoke as he sighed before adding,"all we know is that it\'s something really powerful, someone who can rival the King of the Holy Empire or the Queen of the Crimson Church." "Nobody saw him or her?" I asked again with my curiosity piqued up, but Gabriel simply shook his head as he answered,"no. Anyone who has seen him is dead by now."

\'Interesting,\' I thought as I pondered deep about it before moving back to the previous topic,

"What about the dark forces?" 

"They call themselves Dark Oracle and in the eyes of the general public, they are nothing but a myth. Only the highest of each faction is allowed to make contact with them… that too only by their permission. There isn\'t a white line for them that they are bad or good. They kill as well as save, so it\'s kinda hard to paint them with one color. But one thing that everyone agrees with anonymously is that they are monsters among monsters. Each and everyone of them. If they declare you dead… then you are dead," Spoke Gabriel as I could see genuine fear in his eyes. 

"Okay…. That\'s enough for me… is there anything else we need to do?" I asked as I looked at Gabriel, who was back to his poker face as he spoke,"I am going to give you some books that you need to read and practice. You may not know anything about this, but you need to learn it. That\'s the only right way to gain power in this world."

I then saw him walking outside the room as he gestured for me to follow him. Though I was bored, I decided to follow him through the castle as I reached near a library. Gabriel moved near the corner as he took out a bunch of books and slowly brought them to me. 

"Here. Start with these. This should help you build some basics," he spoke as he then placed the books on the table right in front of me. His eyes looked around before speaking,

"I have some errands to run, so I will be leaving. I will return by the end of the day to check on your progress."

I nodded at him before he vanished from there in an instant. I could see his movements pretty much clearly and using the [Space Time Map] I could see that he was running outside the mansion towards a certain entity. Did somebody or something intrude into this mansion?

Not caring much about it, I opened the book for a couple of seconds, went through the records as I understood half of it. Perhaps because my intelligence stat was so low that I wasn\'t able to understand anything? Maybe…

Not even a few minutes later, most of the people who were present in the surrounding area also began moving towards the entity that Gabriel was fighting. Seems like the fight is big… 

\'Damn! It\'s one against 12 now… must be pretty strong,\' I exclaimed a little before I closed the book. To be honest, both the book and the fight weren\'t really interesting for me. 

\'I should meet up with, Caroline,\' I thought for a few seconds before I decided to do something else first…

"Angela." I muttered her name as I called her towards me, using the thread she formed when we had sex. Never knew that I would use it too soon and for something like this…
