Chapter 8: Do You Have a Sister?
Chapter 8: Do You Have a Sister?
Fang Cheng hadn’t expected Kanzaki Rin to spy on him late at night. His mind went blank, pushing through by perseverance alone.
By his four hundredth push-up, his hands felt numb and detached.
The prompt in his vision finally changed:
[Stamina +1]
Seeing this, Fang Cheng collapsed face-first onto the sweat-soaked carpet, panting like an exhausted dog.
“Hahaha!”
He suddenly burst into laughter between gasps.
He’d been right—his body now worked like a game character. Daily exercise gave 1 Stamina point. Even as a vampire, two hours of training shouldn’t boost stamina, but game mechanics defied logic.
Each Stamina point boosted strength, speed, endurance, etc.—a full-body upgrade. Best of all, there was no cap. Keep grinding, and he might rival even that bald superhero.
This also proved his immortality wasn’t vampiric. Despite Kanzaki Rin’s warnings, he’d never craved blood. But he’d let others keep misunderstanding—his built-in cheat stayed secret.
Cheered by this future, Fang Cheng hummed off to shower.
Across the city, Kanzaki Rin finished her sushi and paused surveillance. She logged into a game on her phone, though her gaze kept flicking to the notebook’s monitoring scene to ensure Fang Cheng stayed home.
Fresh from the shower, Fang Cheng flopped onto his bed and opened a LOL-like mobile game using the original owner’s account. Familiar gameplay and borrowed memories made it easy.
Two ranked matches later, he teamed with “Super Cute Super Powerful God.” His own ID? “God Slayer.” Poetic, really.
As ADC paired with this “support,” Fang Cheng’s calm shattered instantly. The support stole his minions without even buying starter items.
God Slayer: “Stop trolling.”
Super Cute Super Powerful God: “Fair competition!”
God Slayer: “I f*ing…”
Fang Cheng focused on last-hitting, denying the support steals. When the enemy jungler attacked, Fang Cheng dodged a skill—only to find his support had fled using Flash.
God Slayer: “SHIELD ME, YOU COWARD!”
Super Cute Super Powerful God: “Sacrifices must be made.”
God Slayer: “F* YOUR—”
With bot lane in ruins, the team surrendered at 15 minutes. Fang Cheng quit the game before rage gave him a stroke.
He opened a search engine to search for information about vampires and other monsters. There were too many results, so he had to start reading from the beginning.
…
Early the next morning, Fang Cheng woke up with dark circles under his eyes.
While researching vampires last night, he\’d found an article hundreds of thousands of words long that was exceptionally well-written. He\’d kept reading until 4 a.m.
Only at the end did he realize it was actually part of a long novel series\’ setting. What a waste of time!
After getting up, Fang Cheng habitually checked his phone and found a text from an unknown number.
\"Fang-kun, this is Asaka. Please remember this number.\"
Asaka Akihime was the girl who\’d messaged Fang Cheng last night.
Sending the text in the morning – was she hinting he should attend school?
Fang Cheng saw through her considerate gesture. She was a gentle girl who always thought of others.
Still undecided about school, Fang Cheng didn\’t reply. He saved her number as \"Two Big White Rabbits.\"
Wait, why rabbits?
And why two?
He dismissed the pointless question and started brushing his teeth while preparing breakfast.
Though cooking being a male protagonist\’s standard skill felt cliché, Fang Cheng prided himself on his culinary ability thanks to a friend who\’d graduated from a cooking school.
Not only had his friend taught him everything, but also how to flip a wok with an excavator.
After a late breakfast, Fang Cheng decided to explore his neighborhood.
It was pathetic – the original owner had lived here for years but didn\’t even know the nearby streets.
Leaving his apartment building, Fang Cheng checked carefully but saw no sign of that stalker girl.
He relaxed, relieved to avoid constant surveillance.
But his expression darkened when a patrol drone started openly following him the moment he stepped outside.
Damaging drones meant jail time. Not wanting to give Kanzaki Rin any excuse to arrest him, Fang Cheng retreated.
When he reemerged, he wore his school uniform and carried a backpack.
Schools were the only places patrol drones couldn\’t enter.
Attending class might make Kanzaki Rin lower her guard while proving he was a law-abiding student with good habits.
Following his memories, Fang Cheng took the subway to Kashima High School\’s vicinity. The prestigious private school came into view after a short walk.
His deceased parents had been barely middle-class, yet scraped together tuition for this school – though his grades never justified the expense.
First period had ended. Students milled about campus during break time.
Entering school grounds, Fang Cheng saw the drone that had tailed him through two subway stops finally hovering outside the gates.
He waved mockingly at it before heading to class.
Class 2C was on the third floor. When Fang Cheng entered through the back door, most classmates were already present.
Students shot surprised looks at the recent truant. His short hair, missing glasses, and handsome features made girls notice this previously invisible classmate.
But that was all. The original owner had no friends here – not bullied, just never included.

Though East Asia\’s political alliance had weakened national borders, regional prejudice persisted.
Many families like his had settled in Area 11, but full integration remained hard. Using his Chinese name instead of a Japanese one showed how isolated he\’d been.
Fang Cheng\’s seat was at the back – not the window-side protagonist spot occupied by a delicate-looking boy with an Azazil-like gentle aura.
As Fang Cheng sat down, a beautiful girl with frameless glasses approached. \"Fang-kun, I thought you weren\’t coming today!\"
This was Asaka Akihime, last night\’s texter.
Her Chinese name Ye Yuqing explained why the half-Japanese girl helped the original owner avoid total isolation.
Now Fang Cheng understood the \"Two Big White Rabbits\" reference. How did she even walk straight with those?
\"Hmm? Something wrong?\"
Asaka tilted her head, uneasy under his stare.
\"Ye Yuqing…\" Fang Cheng mused, rubbing his chin. \"Do you have a sister named Ye Yuxing? Or maybe Ye Zimei?\"
