《Who Am I?》 Creating My Character Part 1 My Name is ??? I opened my eyes to find myself inside a white open space, I felt alive in this world, I grinned as I started started running around, jumping and doing all the things I could not in the past world until a disembodied female voice interrupted me. "Welcome to Eve Online." "Eve Online is an VRW, a virtual reality world, of course the thing that differentiates us from others is the fact that we have 99% immersion! Along with our fantasy and sci-fi cross genre we guarantee that you will enjoy this game!" "Eve Online has over 109 Races that you may pick from, please choose race!" I was overwhelmed as over 109 variations of me appeared before me, each with their own special characteristics and quirks. I decided that I would give each one huge thought as this was going to be my new world, a world where I can be free... Two Hours later I was racking my brain as I was stuck between two of my favorite races, to be either a half pure-blood vampire and half blood elf or that to be the destructive race that only wishes for war, the Barbarians... After much thought I decided to go with the half blood elf/vampire, then a horrible thought occurred to me!!!!! WHAT IF THEY DON''T LET ME HAVE THAT!!?!?!?!?!? NOOOOOOOOOO!!!! "Umm...excuse me miss?" "Yes?" "Can I have my character be half pure-blood vampire and half blood elf?" The disembodied voice was quite for a while (5 minutes) I panicked thinking that was a no until she came back. "Sure, though I got to say, those are some nice racials you got there, any appearance changes Before me appeared myself, except that I was around 6''4, had a leaner build but still managed to get an 8 pack, I also had really pointy ears. "Can you please make my hair longer, a bit longer, that''s great! Make it the color of stark white, yes please like that, make my face have a tattoo on the right side and allow me to have blood red eyes pwwweeeeeaaaaassssseeeeee?" "Sure you can have blood red eyes..." I think I scared the AI with my infamous way of saying please. "What would you like your name to be?" Oh my god! MY NAME! NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Think brain Think! The world is set in a Norse setting meaning that there will be Norse gods and such, I got it! MVAHAHAHAHA BEWARE OF ME FOOLISH MORTALS! "I would like my name to be Erik Blackrock" "Name Registered, User Registering Complete, Character Creation Complete, We will now proceed with your racial tutorial, because of your unique race, you will take an extended tutorial?" A white light enveloped me and I found myself standing in a grassy field in the body of my character, a weapon rack appeared in front me. "Please choose your weapon." I took the sword that was bit longer than usual for some reason, two giant rats appeared before me. "Please attack and kill the two rats that appeared before you" Once she finished talking one of the rats lunged forward and my look changed from one of excitement to the cold and calculating persona that I had adopted. The rat tried to swipe at me with its claws but I dodged to the right and in a flash split its body in two with a clean strike, I held the second rat by its throat before plunging the blade right through its heart. I got a new notification <> I decided to do some push-ups and sit-ups to get my excitement to wane off but I noticed something. After I did 100 something push-ups which was the norm for me, I didn''t feel tired one bit, I did another 100 and I still didn''t feel tired, so I kept doing them until I reach about the 2,000 mark for both push-ups and sit-ups, I noticed that I had gotten a notification after I finished my mini-training regime << +25 STR, +10 AGI, +30 VIT, +20 SP>> So training increases your stats as well, that''s good to know. I noticed that the rats and the weapon rack had dissapeared and a sort of forge and alchemy table appeared, when I noticed both the AI started talking again. "Please go up to the alchemy table and create an health potion, there should be instructions next to the mortar and pestle, afterwards please go to the forge and choose any metal you deem fit and create a weapon for yourself afterwards we shall finish off with magic training." I didn''t comment and went to the alchemy table, as promised there were indeed instructions on how to make health potions and enough materials to make five so I quickly got to work, for some reason making the potion felt natural and proceeded way easier than I thought it would. "Huh! This is way easier than I thought ~" I quickly finished the five health potions and stuck them inside my inventory, I noticed that I had gotten the ancient alchemy skill, but why ancient? I dunno I guess I''ll read the description when I finish the tutorial I guess. The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation. I proceed into the forge and I was dumbfounded on what to do until I felt something inside me shift and I automatically started by taking the blue shining ore out of the twenty something different ore, I heard a small gasp of astonishment but I attributed it to my mind. I smelted the ore and got it out in the right temperature, before shaping it into the same sword I had used to kill the two rats, I made the hilt from the red fiery hide and wood that I found laying near the forge, at the end I did something that seriously surprised me... I felt power going to my fingertips and I started drawing weird-rune-like symbols on the blade, when I finished, the blade had a even larger blue glow than before, once again I just attributed to my mind playing tricks on me. When the sword was done, I felt very comfortable holding it as if it was destined to be there, I simply held it in my right waiting for further instructions until l noticed a black sheath that shone like crystalline, I tied around my waist and sheathed my sword inside of it while disposing of the old one. Now! I was waiting for instructions from the AI. The forge and alchemy table dissapeared and a single table appeared with two books before me. "The last part of the tutorial is magic training, as a being that has two heritages that are both magical beings you have a very unique affinity for magic, because of this you may choose to read both books if you wish, but be warned, do not delve too much into magic or else you shall find shocking revelations..." I didn''t hear the last sentence because I was already reading the first book, which promptly put, completely explained magic and how it works. Magic is the simply effort of using mana to create a natural phenomenon such has fire or water than shaping it to create something else, if one is skilled enough they may be able to create natural disasters but only the best of the best of the best can do that. Mana, which fuels all magic, is part of the trinity of powers, which are Mana, Spirit, and Energy, this three are basically the beginning of all the powers and energies that fuel skills and abilities, most can use Mana, but only a few can handle spirit and energy. The world is basically an infinite source of mana but nobody expect the greatest mage have found out about a way to convert raw mana into usable mana, because of this most magicians use meditation as a way to increase there mana reserves by absorbing raw mana slowly bit by bit. All in all if someone is efficient in all three and can manipulate them like breathing and if they are a bad guy then were screwed pretty much. When I finished reading I got a notification. <<[Mana Manipulation] Skill Obtained>> <<[Mana Meditation] Skill Obtained>> <<[Speed Reading] Skill Obtained>> I was elated that I got skills, I guess the book was a skill book? Meh! I grabbed the second book, which titled "Spellworks, Magic Theories, and Magic Drawbacks for Noobs" IT WAS HUGE, like 2 inches thick Jesus! I activated speed reading and delved right into it. A few hours later I finished the 2 inch thick book...somehow... Spells, in general, are a way of making natural and unnatural phenomenon to take effect, people use chants and invocations as to not damage themselves, I thought that was it to casting the spells but there was more, in the book they said that there was a third way too cast spells but most can''t master because it is too dangerous, imagination casting. Imagination Casting, as the name implies, instead of using chants and invocation to deliver the much needed effect, it uses the person''s imagination. For instance, in order to cast a simple fireball, you would need to say at least a ten word chant, which was really lengthy and I didn''t want to do it, but with imagination casting, you would imagine how big, how hot, and how fast it was, and with the right amount of mana, you would be able to make it happen, with the only drawback being, that if you loose your concentration OR the image of the desired effect or phenomenon, you would gain a terrible backlash, because of this most stick to invocations, chants, and grimoire to use magic. I sighed because I instinctively that I would use imagination casting instead of the other two because I was simply too hyper and impulsive. When I finished basking in my thoughts and finished reading the book, which leveled up my speed reading quite a bit, the AI spoke again, it was pretty creepy out she knew that I was listening...seriously. "You have completed all three parts of the mandatory tutorial, you shall now be randomly transported towards a spot in the dimension of Eve Online!" "We Hope you enjoy your time" "Thank You" A white light enveloped me again and I was opened my eyes to find myself... The Mad Wizards Place Part 1 The white light evaporated and I found myself standing in your usual medieval sci-fi esque town, yes your usual medieval sci-fi esque town of ghosts...there was no one there, not a soul in sight. I decided that first things first I need to check my stats to see how powerful I am currently. "Status" <> <> <> <> <>> <>> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> < > So...the weird wind that I feel constantly going around me is mana from what I have deduced, what I also noticed is that I could actually move the mana around a bit, I tried to make it a ball of light and surprisingly enough a small ball of light appeared before me, I decided that the infinite potentials of this can wait because finding out about ghost towns is more important then OP skills and abilities... I decided to check out the town but to no avail, I found not a single living soul, even the food was simply left smoking good food...was left...WHAT HAS THE WORLD COME TO!!!!!!! I decided to give in since my human brain can''t comprehend what was going on and check the notifications, of course I did this in the mayors mansion while eating some high grade chicken... <[Quest]> [Name: The Misery of Duskhaven] [Description: The people of Duskhaven have gone missing! The town that has met many tragedies as yet to meet another one, but now it has! Find out what happened and rescue them if possible!] [Rank: B+] [Reward: 500 Gold|30000 XP|???] So the dark eerie coldness I felt from the mana was actually traces of dark magic? Well that explains a lot, seems like I am going to have to go to the catacomb and most likely fight some dark wizard...meh! I raided the long-term food storage and took about 100 pieces of dried jerky and beef, along with some bread, cause you know right, I am going to save them hehe, can''t fight on an empty stomach! I had traversed the whole town and had passed by what seemed like to be a underground entrance way so after taking all the food and putting it in my inventory I went there as I entered I gained notifications which confirmed my suspicions. I looked at the dark hall that was illuminated with simple torches with a bored expression...until I saw what occupied this whole floor of the dungeon...skeletons.. This posed a problem because I don''t know how to deal with skeletons, I took out my gleaming blue sword and decided to just use trial and error to deal with them, the worst that could happen would be that I die and lose a level and some stats. As if on instinct I rushed and before any of the skeletons could react, took a clean swipe at the neck of the skeleton nearest to me and it just fell down and dissapeared, like that I quickly exterminated what remained of the original horde all of which had fallen to my blue blade... If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it. As I sat down I noticed that my level increased from level 1 to level 16 and that I had 75 unused stat points, I did a fair calculation and knew that I would use magic soon but was a melee fighter currently so I inputted 20 in STR, 20 in AGI, 35 in VIT, which bumped up my health from the original 1,750 to 1,890. I ate some beef jerky and collected all the loot, which mainly consisted of rusting weapons and armor that I can smelt down for ore, luckily the inventory was infinite, so I could carry them all because of my enormous STR stat... As I walked towards the second floor a single chest greeted me before the door, having heard the stories about mimics and the like, I decided to take a quick nap before going to open the chest, fortunately, the chest was not a mimic, it was a trap, which brought in a huge skeletal wolf that gave me goose bumps, I looked on top of its head to see what it was. We stared silently at each other for a few minutes before the wolf finally decided to start the battle by charging at me and trying to take a large bite out of me, luckily I jumped, yes jumped, up on top of its head, it was actually possible because of my AGI stat, now staying on top of its head was difficult. You see as much as I want to reenact that one scene from God of War with the cyclopes it would probably be easier to swing my sword than staying on, a few minutes later I had a good stand on it so I started my counter attack and boy did the numerical attack values make me feel good. After I delivered the daze the wolf stopped doing whatever it was trying to do and fell on all its floors, trying to lift its head up groggily but failing terrible, doing this time I quickly jumped off its massive 2 meter tall body and disabled its legs and started my final attack by drawing mana and filling it up into my sword, as I got ready to attack I suddenly did something that I surprised myself with... As if acting on instinct I got into a stance that I have never seen, both my hands on my sword, feet opened wide, my body calm, my mind calm, my expression calm, as quick as lightning I slashed with the sword upward then downward horizontally, cleanly destroying the skeletal wolf in two... <+10,000 XP | Silver Demon Chest | +10 VIT | +50 Fighting Spirit> I didn''t have time to check all the notifications because I felt my fleeting conciousness slowly floating away as the backlash from exerting so much power... <> <> <> <> <>> <>> <> <> <> <> <> <> <> < > The Legendary Dhampir Hello my noble readers MVAHAHAHAH Your pathetic excuse for an author here, anyways I decided to input some trippy cross-over with the epic novel of the ice lord stuff called "Loiterous" its a epic novel and I like it, I hope the author won''t mind that I am stealing - Ahem! I mean borrowing his characters, thanks for reading and if you like drop a critic review >: ) Part 1 The Second Floor I woke up and found that I haven''t died...surprisingly, I looked around and noticed a giant blood red sleeping hound that I was currently leaning on, as I woke up it did too because it suddenly stood up and looked at me in the eyes, it was probably what, 1 meter tall? "Hey! Are you awake!" "Wha- Who''s saying this?" "Its me, the giant colossal skeletal titan you beat up..." "I can understand that but...I don''t get how your here?" "Well you pretty much released my soul, which was tethered to that body by some nasty wizard currently occupying this place." "How does that work..." "I don''t know, soul magic is the trickiest of them all, even those that use it don''t know much about it." "Sounds interest, so whats your name? I am Erik Blackrock!" The wolf was stumped, to be specific the titan wolf was stumped, most of her kind were persecuted because of their huge power and size, an adult titan wolf is around 3 to 4 meters tall, so she was, to say the least, seriously stumped as to why this man would ask for her name... "My name is Lexalomi, or short for Lexi, I am blood titan wolf!" "Cool! You wanna help me clear out this place?" "How can you be so straightforward! Don''t you understand that my kind is viewed as the most dangerous, savage, and inhuman kind of all the monsters? Why are you so nice!" "Why not? I decided a long time ago that our past is not what defines us, rather what we decide to do, for instance if you took the viewing to heart you would be as they saw, rather you would become "savage" and "dangerous" instead of a simple girl as I see you right now, though I gotta say, your fur looks sick~" "Umph! Your a curious human boy! Fine! I shall follow you on your adventures, you seem like the type that is going to stir up the world." I am guessing they brought down her level to mine as to not make me too overpowered, or else everything will be seriously easy if I had a level 3,567 companion with me. I guess she still doesn''t trust me, I decided to go check out the silver chest that looked pretty demonic, I got a pretty good haul from it as well... <> Along with some healing potions and some gold I felt pretty good about myself, I decided to try out dual wielding and found it pretty easy, with the blue in my left and the white in my right, I tried some continous slashes here and there, this was mainly easy because I could dual-wield in real life as well, I quickly gained the dual-wielding skill and sat down to share a meal between be and Lexi before descending towards the second floor of the tombs... In the second floor of the tomb there were skeletons in the first two rooms but in the third came the dreaded fight in which I almost lost my life, there were dragur, though they are different from skeletons, they have flesh, and are intelligence, which made the fight with them a lot harder, after a few near death fights I figured out there way of fighting and the hassle became easier, I reached the final room, but this time instead of a chest trap the boss was simply standing in the middle, waiting for me, the giant monstrosity got up when I entered. I groaned, even though my level had risen from 20 to 36 from all the dragur I knew that this was out of my league... I stilled my mind and started the battle, my concentration was at its highest during the battle, I waited till he had an opening while I was dodging and when he did I decided all for nothing and used [Air Destruction] the attack value made my jaw drop, along with the backlash as well. <[Air Destruction] Delivered Fatal Attack -450,000> When I read the last one I felt myself be extremely exhausted, I didn''t know what to do for just keeping my consciousness here was taking all of my effort, I had no idea how I was going to finish until I saw a giant red mass suddenly move and kill the destroyer... With my final job done I went to the black oblivion of sleep, not bothering to check the notifications. Part 2 The Mad Wizard Oshkosh I woke up once again while leaning on the dark puddle of cuteness known as Lexi, god~ her fur is so soft~... "Are you even listening to me!" "Hai~..." "Snap out of it!" BONK "Ok OK! I snapped out!" "If I was a second late you would''ve died!" "So~ You weren''t" "I swear to god..." "Anyways lets go down to the last lair, were probably going to fight the mad wizard so I am going to use my [Air Destruction] skill again, coupling that with mana slash, it should work out unless the wizard summons some dark god or something like, but there like a 1 in million percent chance of that happening right~?" "Gah! Lets just go already" After my long winded conversation with the angry wolf, I ate some dried jerky and drank some water before descending towards the last floor with Lexi. As the stares came to an end I saw why he was called a mad wizard, there was a huge line of of people of all ages that had fear inscribed upon there faces, but what truly triggered the legendary blood rage was that the wailing and flailing small child that the wizard was holding, as he was about to plunge the sacrificial knife inside of the poor child I only saw red... [Lexalomi POV] Even though I have been awake for a few hours I had gotten to know a lot about the man that I chose as my master, under that imposing look and aura I knew that he was a caring, charismatic, and kind, it was one of the main reasons that I had chosen to follow him. Yet currently, as I saw the poor child that the wizard was to sacrifice I saw something that would stop me from trying to anger my master. This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it Change would be the correct word, as I looked at my master who was currently holding the mad wizard by his neck I can say that he had changed... He looked more elegant and handsome, his long white hair became even longer and more beautiful, his skin turned paler but, the most astonishing change were his eyes, they turned blood red, his expression was that of sadness as if he had looked around, and his power. I knew that the being in front of me was a thing of legends, a dhampir. Regarded as the strongest race of magicians and warriors many wanted to employ their services, though eventually there benefactors turned against them, the gods, along with kings, fearing for there power, decided to seal off all dhampir into the deepest bowel''s of the abyss... He emitted an astronomical amount of killing intent, enough that almost all fainted except me and the wizard, I was barely holding on to myself. What was more astonishing was the fact that he as brushing off all the grand-mage spells thrown at him like it simply dirt. Then suddenly I felt a terrible scream, as I looked I saw why most feared the dhampir, I saw him draining out the blood of the wizard, and then in a elegant and thunderous voice he talked... "Never...again...shall I see you...harm someone...lowly filth..." "Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-" "Die..." I felt the presence of the wizard gone, meaning he was dead, I was about to fall when I saw Erik come in front of me... "Sleep Lexi, you''ve earned it" [Erik POV] I looked at the sleeping form of Lexi, my wolf companion, and sighed. It was clear why she was scared, even I was surprised by myself. I decided to check my notifications, also the decision I had made. <Skill [Blood Rage] Activated> <Drained the blood of Oshkosh, the Mad Wizard> < +30,000 XP | 1 Epic Weapon - Claim Available | +100 INT | +100 WIS | +100 VIT | Runic Gold Chest > <You have delved deeper into your dhampir heritage and have changed your race to the mythical [Dhampir]> "Dhampir Race Description" <The Dhampir were a mythical race of the strongest mages and magicians, there blood mages and blood warriors were considered the strongest, with there friends and allies, the ice mages, they had protected the world from evil many times, sadly, the gods and kings, fearing for their powers, had used blackmail and dark magic to wipe them out, currently there is an ice lord that has come into power [Icicle Whitesnow], trying to restore his races former glory, you are obligated too as well, because of this, you have been granted the title [Blood King]> <<Title: Blood King <Description: The highest title a person that has not been born into royalty can achieve, most blood mages and warriors envy and respect those that have obtained this title <Effect 1: +150% Increased Blood Magic Proficiency <Effect 2: +50% Increased Magic Proficiency <Effect 3: ??? Require 5,000 WIS <Effect 4: ??? Require 10,000 WIS>> I had also noticed that I have two impossible quests...I sighed, well at least I have something to occupy me for a while. <<Quest: Savior of Dhampir <Description: The Dhampir, the legendary and mythical race of the strongest and noble vampires, have been trapped inside the deepest bowls of the abyss, you have been chosen to free them. <Rank: SSS+> <Rewards: 1,000,000 XP| +2,000 to all Stats|1 Artifact Rank Weapon|Dhampir Race Unlocked|???>> <<Quest: The Destroyer of Gods <Description: The gods have marked you as there enemy, you are prepared to go to war with them, they are biding there time, but you must remember, that you shall fight against the gods, along with the ice lord [Icicle Whitesnow], to renew peace and bring back the true deities of the world, bring glory to the former alliance of Blood and Ice! <Rank: XX+ <Rewards: 50,000,000 XP|Godhood|+5,000 to all Stats|2 Artifact Rank Equipment/Weapon|1 Race Specific Artifact Rank Item| 1 Class Specific Artifact Rank Weapon>> I looked at the rewards with $ eyes, but than I sighed, I swear to god this game hates me. Even if the rewards were the most luscious I would most likely die if I went alone, but I have to work with that Icicle dude! You people have any idea how scary he is! I''ve seen the videos... I noticed that I have two gold chests and 1 epic weapon so I decided to open both chests and claim the epic weapon, I gotta say, I got some good things hehe. <Ancient Blood Orb of Magilia> <Epic> <Durability: 5,000/5,000> <Magic DMG: 5,000-10,000> <Description: The ancient orb of Magilia Bloodborne, the only ancient magician that was said to be on par with the strongest ice mage..> < +100 WIS| +100 INT| +50 VIT > < +50% Magic DMG > < -25% All Magic Skill Cooldowns > <Journal of Magilia> <Rare> <Book> <Description: The journal and teachings of Magilia Bloodborne, the strongest blood magician, and one of the strongest ancient magicians...> <Darkblood Cloak> <Unique> <Durability: -/-> <Defense: 500-1000> <Description: The cloak worn by the ancient blood mages was said to be the strongest and most fear inducing cloaks of them all, though in all seriousness the cloak was just made from some usual bloodcloth, and was originally created to create cookies...> WELL At least I got some fun things to do hehe, I decided to check my stats one last time before logging off. <Name: Erik Blackrock> <Race: Dhampir Elf> <Level: 41> <Title: [Slayer], [Blood King], [Ancient Magician]> <Class 1: -> <Class 2: -> <Class 3: -> <HP: 4,100> <MP: 5,000> <SP: 5,000> <STR: 256> <AGI: 224> <DEX: 249> <VIT: 267> <INT: 286> <WIS: 285> <LUC: 100> <Fighting Spirit: 150> <Skills> <<Ancient Alchemy [Beginner LV: 4]>> <<Ancient Blacksmithing [Beginner LV: 3]>> <<Ancient Magic Mastery [Intermediate LV: 1]>> <<Dual Wielding Mastery [Beginner LV: 9]>> <<Mana Manipulation [Intermediate LV: 3]>> <<Mana Meditation [Beginner LV: 1]>> <<Mana Coating [Intermediate LV: 5] <<Speed Reading [Beginner LV: 1]>>> <<Sword Mastery [Intermediate LV: 7]>>> <<Orb Mastery [Beginner LV: 1]>> <Racials> <<Magic Affinity [MAX]>> <<Mana Sense [Intermediate LV: 9]>> <<Mana Control [Intermediate LV: 1]>> <<Light Movement [MAX]>> <<Elemental Affinity [MAX]>> <<Blood Magic [MAX]>> <<Hemophobia [MAX]>> <<Blood Rage [Beginner LV: 1]>> <Traits> < > <<Realm of Blood [Rank SS]>> Huh! I got 1 new title and a new trait! WHAAAT! The Queen of Dhampirs Part 1 The Town of Duskhaven I logged back in and found that Lexi was still sleeping, I decided that to better my odds of winning against the gods I would first need to go find where the abyss was to free my people, the Dhampir. Although I did decide to check my [Ancient Magician] title and my [Realm of Blood] trait, they were both pretty useful. [Ancient Magician] [Description: The first order of mages, using the primeval techniques and elements, this mages were regarded as some of the strongest and most influential beings in the world] [Effect 1: +50 WIS] [Effect 2: -25% Cooldown on all magic related skills] [Effect 3: ??? | Required 500 WIS] [Effect 4: ??? | Required 5,000 WIS] [Realm of Blood] [Rank SS Trait] [Description: Your rage manifests itself through the fourth realm, all existences in your vicinity shall feel themselves being choked as there blood tries to run away from you, weaker enemies will even faint or die...] [Effect 1: <<Deadly Pressure>> is activated upon all beings who are in a 5 mile radius of you] [Effect 2: If the user wills inhumane amounts of rage, blood demons shall manifest and attack anything near the user] As I looked at the description I felt elated, though the trait might pose problems later on if I can''t control, but whatever, it only activates when I feel rage. With my interview of my skills finished I woke up Lexi, my ever so fluffy titan wolf, and we started the long trek out of the tomb. I kept myself calm as I thanked all the citizens and politely declined all the offers of marriage and free items, I quickly made my way towards the adventurers guild to ask them where the nearest floored dungeon is and what the abyss is. On my way I saw white flashes of light, indicating that the town of Duskhaven returned to its spotlight as the best beginner town in Eve Online. As I entered the adventurers guild I saw a lot of adventurers sitting in the pub or talking to each other, they were a giant rowdy bunch. Thankfully they didn''t notice me because of my cookie cloak, yes I am, going to from now on call the demonic, monstrous, inhuman cloak of death, the cookie cloak. God bless my great naming sense. I went up to the receptionist and asked her if I can meet the guild master, she looked at my as if I was joking until she saw my face, afterwards with some yelling and running I was finally sitting across the monster drinking tea. "So...to what do I attribute this visit to?" "Information." "On what may I ask?" "The Abyss..." The monster dropped her cup and started emanating astronomical amounts of pressure, though compared to my [Realm of Blood] trait, it was like a drop water against the entire ocean. "How do you know about the abyss! SPEAK BOY!" "Dhampir. I must free my race..." " *sigh* What do you know about the abyss, young Dhampir?" "I only know that it is the prison for my race." "Good that you came to me first boy, essentially, the Abyss, was originally a prison for the strongest and most vile and evil beings, after the Dhampir''s were place that changed, all the evil beings were killed off, it is now essentially the plane were even the gods fear to tread..." "Because of the lesser evil beings placed their, it became a nest of all the X rank and higher monsters, dark dragons, shadow titans, anything you can think of, you bet it''ll have nested there." "Is their level requirement?" "Yes, in order to even think of entering the abyss, you must surpass the first barrier of power that leads to godhood, you must reach level 1,000, then the spirits of your power shall challenge you." " *sigh* I knew it wasn''t going to be easy...than may I ask if you know whether there are any dungeons that house remnants of the blood mages?" "A recent dungeon that popped up a couple weeks away from here would be your best guess, it has 300 floors, elite monsters are the norm there, so I suggest you go there, it would be the best place for you to train at least up to halfway of the power barrier." "Thank you, well then, I shall be on my way, do you know the nearest city to the dungeon? Also its name please?" "Sure thing child, the dungeon is known as the [Titan Abode], the nearest city to it would the be the kingdom of Blodia, once the greatest empire of the blood mages, rivaling the ice mages, now a remnant of its original power, do not thank yet though, the road in front of you will be the most difficult..." "Well...then I shall be on my way...thank you." I used my special racial and left the guild quickly. In my confusion I killed the level 15 demon drake that was the special boss of the forest surrounding Duskkhaven, while sitting on the enormous corpse, I let Lexi hunt a bit while I decided to check my racials. <Dhampir Strength> <SSS Rank Trait> <Description: The strength of the weakest and strongest Dhampir was not something to laugh at, they could pick and hold up, giant colossal dragons, with a single hand, because of this, the legendary dubbed "Strength of a Dhampir" resounded through out the continents. The story has been illicitly taken; should you find it on Amazon, report the infringement. <Dhampir Speed> <SSS Rank Trait> <Description: On par with there strength, the Dhampir''s utilized an almost unimaginable amounts of speed, covering an hours distance of running within a minute.> Basically the strength and speed of your normal vampire, but there was something missing, Ahem! I remembered, yes...I have the urge to drink blood now. Instead tasting like iron horseshit it tastes like my favorite drink of iced green tea. Lexi came back after a while and sat down on her paws, looking at me expectantly. " *sigh* Come on Lexi, lets get going, you wanna race?" "Race! Hah! As if I, an Titan Wolf, would loose to a mere Dhampir!" "Alright then, how about a bet?" "Sure." "If you win, I''ll do a single stupid dance, but if I win, then you have to fight in your true form hehe..." "Damn bastard! How''d you find about my true form, you know what! Nevermind, I accept, to where are we racing to?" "The kingdom of Blodia, are you ready?" "Hell yea!" "1" "2" "3" "GO" At go I activated my special racial [Dhampir Speed] and bolted off, to a experienced adventurers eyes I would seem like a blur, I looked back and saw the young blood wolf trying to keep up with me in vain. -5 HOURS LATER- " *breathing heavily* hah damn- hah- bastard- hah- how can you- hah- go so fast- yet- not break a sweat-" "Haha! You lost Lexi, now lets find a inn before you shift." I picked up her exhausted form and quickly sped towards the highest grade inn, the price did not matter because I had 500 gold on me, I sighed as I walked into the 5 room suite, I felt a burst of mana and in my arms, instead of a giant wolf, was a beautiful 18 year old girl, with the face of a goddess, long blood red wavy hair, and blood red eyes (I checked), she could only be described as a goddess and...she was naked, so before anyone misunderstood I put her in a bed and let her sleep peacefully while I went to sleep in the other. The oblivious relief of dreams overtook me quickly, and I found myself inside paradise, literally. No really, with all the green plains, beautiful flowers, and the white nomadic expensive looking buildings it could only be described as paradise. I sighed for the third time, man this was becoming a habit. "Welcome, Young Dhampir..." said a pink haired small girl, though I knew she was no small girl, I felt monstrous amounts of power from inside of her. "Heya~ So...to whom do I owe the pleasure too that summoned me so rudely?" "Haha! Your a bold one, even for a dhampir! To talk to brashly with me when you know how powerful I am." "Yes its very funny, so which one are you? Spirit, God, or Deity? Also, don''t mind me asking, but are you positive that you want to kill me? I mean I could help you in the future you know." "And why, might I ask, do you presume I wish to kill you?" "Most gods or other beings of power do, fate as not been very nice to me." "That mentality is good young one, though I must say, as much as you wish die, I don''t want to kill you. Why would I? When I am the queen of Dhampirs, Mina Bloodborne." I kneeled on one leg. "Sorry my queen...I did not know, so I am guessing that this is the abyss?" "No need for formalities with me boy, and yes you are right, it is the abyss, the wretched place that binds our race." "Well, for a prison of eternal damnation meant for evil beings it looks like a nice place." "That would be too good to be true, I summoned you to my domain boy, as much as I am powerful and you compare to an insect in front of me, you were given the unfortunate job of saving your whole race sadly." "OH SHUT UP! I''ll get strong soon enough, though I gotta ask, whats the stat of the weakest Dhampir? Just wondering." "Hmm? Well, on average, I''d say about 100,000 on all stats? Give or take?" I felt something crack inside of me... "Oi! Oi! Are you ok! Stop looking this depressed right now!" "It is ok my queen, this one understands, he shall go commit suicide right now!" "Oi! What the hell are you talking about?" "Stop this instant boy!" She slapped me, and I laughed. "Jeez, going that far to just annoy me, you remind me of someone very annoying, GAH! Anyways boy, I can''t hold you for any longer so I will say two things." "First of all, you shall find many answers in the [Titan Abode] dungeon, and you shall also gain great allies." "Second of all, look after that girl that you have with you, protect her carefully boy, she will soon be someone very important, both to you, and to the whole world." "What! Why? Hey! Wai- NO!" I felt myself waking up and I inadvertently felt something, or someone, hit my head and a large thud could be heard. "NOO! MOI GAUD! LEXI-BOO ARE YOU OK!!!!" The Titan Abode I picked up the red goddess and she groaned as she grumbled Lexi: Shut up stupid...gah! Also my name is not Lexi but Rene! Get it through your thick skull you dumbass! Me: Yes Yes now come on get up! Let''s go eat and go to the dungeon! $_$ We have alot of farming to do hehe = ). Rene: STUPID! BAKA! I am naked you dumbass! Get me a dress or else... < 30 Minutes Later > The young dhampir and a red goddess that was wearing a blood red dress could be seen walking towards the entrance of the new dungeon [The Titan''s Abode]. One could see many woman looking and sighing at the handsome male and many men throwing lustful glances the red goddess and envious looks at the male. Rene: So~ How are you~ Me: *shudder* Didn''t I say I was sorry for forgetting a dress? Rene: Oh I know you were~ I though a simple reminder wouldn''t hurt~ Would you like another one~ Me: *violent shudder* Nope Me: So what are you going to use to fight? Rene: Magic, originally I was a blood titan wolf but for some reason I ascended and my true form is very...human to say the least. Here it also says I have superior affinity for magic in entirety and since I already read many books on it I decided to just go along with it... Me: That''s cool~ If you encounter this story on Amazon, note that it''s taken without permission from the author. Report it. Rene: From what I heard the dungeon has over 100 floors meaning we should take a break after the 50th floor where a boss monster would most likely spawn. Me: *sigh* I. Don''t. Want. To. Fight. Rene: You want a friendly reminder from me~? Me: I''ll fight. Rene: There are only two types of monsters in this dungeons elementals and magic contrusts and golems meaning that the end boss would most likely be a titan or something along the lines of that so be prepared. Me: Can I just throw a blood orb? Rene: Hell no! I don''t want to get sued by the kingdom for destroy there only source of income AND destroying their forest. Yes I was proficient in blood magic now. Its really easy contrary to pop belief. The blood orb was a spell that I had created overnight and to say it was destructive would be an understatement. It could probably swallow the kingdom whole if I let it. I think it came out like that because I had in mind the monstrous beingings that are probably residing inside the abyss but oh well~. With that we progressed through the first 50 floors easily killing the supreme construct. He dropped a cool cloak that obviously went to Rene. We met trouble at the 89th floor. It was not good trouble to say the least...
