Rebirth: Childhood friend of the heroine-Chapter 200 - 199- Time skip

For Alex and the others, the next few days were nothing but about training.

With a goal in mind, they were forcing themselves beyond their limits.

Yes, there was a very bleak chance for anyone other than Alex, Edric, and Rebecca to get selected—especially considering their supernatural growth rate—however, Celestria and Amanda were not hesitating in putting their all during the training.

Sarah was a non-combatant warrior, so she wasn't even thinking of her spot among the ten warriors. However, she played a crucial role in helping others, allowing them to be a little reckless.

For Amanda and Celestria, even if there was a one percent chance, they wanted to be among the ten warriors who would fight for their existence.

Rebecca was not training with them recently—rather it was Jullie and Rebecca who were getting taught under Natasha's tutelage.

It was better for her to be taught by someone with more experience in the specialty Rebecca believed she had.

While Celestria and Amanda fought along with Alex and Edric against the Soulless, the two boys also spar against a few vampire servants.

Being the servants of the Vampire Lords, they were nothing to take lightly.

Each one of them was as strong as a Seven-starred warrior back in the Human realm.

If talking about strength, then only a few individuals, like the Grandmaster or the Knight General, could go against these servants, but even so, the battle would be quite a tough one.

Slowly, Alex was fulfilling the requirements of every quest the System assigned. Most of them revolved around combat, while a few were oddly unconventional—like using his Soul Energy for seemingly pointless tasks, such as creating a pocket dimension out of a boulder.

Having been stingy with his Soul Energy all his life, Alex was naturally quite annoyed by all this. However, Natasha helped him amass an astronomical amount of SE by sending him to the prison to hunt down a few vampire criminals.

Naturally, vampires—having lived for so long and taken countless lives—possessed an immense amount of SE. That's why Alex never ran out of energy during his bizarre training sessions.

Edric has acquired another form recently—a Vampiric form.

Yeah, he can become a vampire.

It was a risky gamble, but it worked, and now he can also manipulate blood and has gained a unique skill called 'Blood Prison'.

Alex was somewhat envious of how the guy didn't have to pay any price for such broken powers. Meanwhile, he, on the other hand, had to prepare his soul just to begin practicing the Curse's powers.

Edric's Soul energy was increasing day by day since he was taking hunting jobs here in the Blood Domain as well.

Now when Alex looks at the guy, he can tell that he is finally on the path to becoming comparable to his canon counterpart.

Edric may be one of the ten warriors participating in the trials.

Last night, the Vampire Monarch returned home after staying away for three weeks.

He has visited several tribes in the meantime and also visited the elven realm once.

Today, he invited Alex and the others to dinner. Although the maid had described it as a casual gathering, Alex knew he would hear something important. That's why he decided to forgo his extra training, ensuring he would be fully attentive during the meal.

"I received a letter from Father—most of the nations have started to fortify their defenses, thinking that it is just another war that they need to go through." Inside the room, Alex and his three lovers were present as they got ready for dinner.

Alex was getting help from Celestria to get his bowtie done when he heard Sarah.

"Apparently, they think that the history is going to repeat itself again…and with the Vampire Monarch and the strong warriors in every realm would allow them to face this crisis as well." The Saintess added, with a tinge of grief in her voice.

They didn't know that the scale of this disaster was nothing compared to what Nebula had faced in the past.

If the ten warriors fail to conquer the trial, the residents of Nebula won't even get a chance to fight for their existence.

The beings involved in this were simply beyond mortal comprehension and tolerance.

"They have to rely on a lie to believe that the future will be bright," Alex voiced, his tone mirroring Sarah's.

Rebecca also added, "Father sent me a letter stating that His Majesty has already named me, Alex, and Edric from Grimland."

Celestria followed, "I also received the letter from Brother about it…and it seems they would soon send a letter to you three; to summon you."

Alex hummed, "I was thinking of visiting the human realm…it's been a while since I met Beatrice…and then I have to greet my three fathers-in-law too."

Hearing his words, the three women blushed slightly.

The last meeting with Lord Hades didn't go as Alex wanted since he believed that Sarah was rushing things between herself and Alex. That's why he told them to give the relationship some time before deciding if they still wanted to spend their future together.

However, seeing Sarah in the Church when Alex was at the death door would have allowed the man to realize how much Alex mattered to her.

Then there was Celestia's father, who had already considered Alex as his son-in-law.

And about Lord Steelhound, then although he must have guessed his daughter's closeness to him…however, unless Alex doesn't introduce himself to the man, he knows that Victor won't accept him.

Although Alex knew that he would be able to convince his three fathers-in-law…the major problem was…his polygamous relationship. Will they accept it? What if they reject? Won't that raise the situation where his girls have to choose between him and their family?

Although he knew that they would choose him without a single thought, this was about their whole life. Living without the people with whom they spent most of their lives…

"Alex," His daze was broken when he felt warmth on his cheek before he directed his eyes to the beauty in front of him, as he heard, "You are not alone in this…we will always be there with you."

"You already have a lot of stressful things to think about, don't concern yourself about our families," Rebecca added as she held his hand fondly.

"I know my father and I know how to convince him, so stop making that face right now," Sarah demanded.

All three of them have loving families who care about nothing more than their daughter's happiness. And with absolute certainty, they know who could keep them happy.

Their life without Alex was incomplete. And the very thought of getting separated from him gave them horror greater than death.

United for different reasons, but it was an unshakable belief that they adore their man more than a fanatic worship their God.

Alex didn't suppress a sigh of relief, as he said, "I sometimes feel jealous of myself that I got such wonderful wives. Thank you for being a part of my life."

°°°°°°

Dressed in formal attires—Alex was reluctant but was forced by his lover—the group of seven, including Jullie, appeared in the dining hall.

Natasha was already present there, sitting on the left side of the head position and reading something.

Angela gave them a soft wave to which the others nodded or smiled.

They took their seats with Alex sitting between Celestria and Sarah—they have mutually decided that Sarah is the first wife and Rebecca the third—so the sitting position was sorted

Amanda and Edric sat across from them, before the raven-haired ushered, "Why don't you sit down as well?"

Angela, smiling, shook her head, "It's okay, Sir Edric. I feel elated serving others."

Edric didn't insist before he turned toward Alex, "Doing something after dinner? I need your help."

Alex was unaware of what might need his presence, so he absentmindedly shrugged.

Soon, the man of the house and the ruler of the Domain appeared before them.

Everyone got up, including Natasha, to greet the man.

"Please sit down." Azeroth ushered.

Once they were seated, the oldest one asked, "I hope you all are in good health. I heard about your recent ventures, and I am delighted to hear that you all have made significant progress."

A few smiled, while a few nodded in acknowledgment.

It was Alex who said, "Thanks to your cooperation, we are utilizing the resource for our benefit."

Azeroth, smiling, said, "It's all for a better future, so you need not to thank me. Just keep growing so you all can make your world proud one day."

This was not just mere encouragement but hope in his voice when Azeroth uttered them.

He was well aware that the people before him had the potential to stand at the pinnacle and play a vital role in deciding the fate of the world.

Soon the maids began to move, serving them the starters.

Azeroth suddenly released an 'Ah~' before he pulled a yellowish envelope from his chest pocket and extended it toward Alex.

"This...?" Alex asked.

"An invitation...from the beast realm. They want you to go and meet their champion."

Alex was unsure how to respond to the sudden news, but what followed the letter was a bigger shocking news, "Your friend, the daughter of Knight Commander Aborne is also there, so you may find comfortable visiting the realm."

"..." What is Valarie doing there now?
