After getting bae, Paul quickly went to the bathroom, and once prepared, he decided to log in bato Fantasy Story Ohere were several things he wao che after all.
First of all, it was Jese’s avatar, his pyable character, which he called Ermelinda, a half-elf female avatar that, showing in her avatar description and information, had a petite build, dark red hair tied into adorable braids, blue eyes, and pale white skin, with freckles around his fad shoulders.
She seemed to be a type of magic spear knight, as she was holding a magic spear made of some type of magic spiritual wood, whose bde was also a strange, red-colored crystal. Her armor was also made of some sort of special spiritual magic wood.
This only made Vd more ied ierials that could be found in Fantasia. It wasn’t as if there weren’t wood types in Obscuritas either, but they seemed like the normal type so far.
However, Fantasia was a whole “magic forest” type of Realm, so it was obvious their trees and forests would hold special effects and abilities; armor made of wood seemed iing.
“He’s off-line for now, Chris too…” he said as he looked at the system window. “I should go Rank Up my Css I guess, while I have time.”
He quickly walked downstairs without finding his mother, but he heard his sister’s voice calling for him the momeepped down.
“Big brother! You’re back?”
Camil was i this time, trying to cook something. It looked like some sort of very rough stew with purple-colored potatoes and radish, and some pieces of red meat and spices.
The potatoes and radish-like tubers were cut very toughly, and the meat wasn’t cut tenderly into thin slices either, looking like a big pieeat.
“Ah yeah! You’re cooking something, Camil?”
“Yeah! I’m maki stew!” she said cutely. “Mama taught me how to do it, but she had to leave because she was busy taking care of the city! It’s almost done; let’s eat together!”
“O-Oh, well, I’ll e ba a bit; I o go Rank Up my Css,” said Vd.
“Oh, really? Theoo! I haven’t dohis thing before, so I want to see what I get!” said Camil.
“ht, you haven’t Ranked Up yet, huh?” wondered Vd. “Sure, e along then. Turn off the stove first though.”
“Okay! It’s done anyways,” nodded Camil, turning off the fire and pg several cloths on top of the pot to maintain the warmth. “Let’s go!”
Today Camil was wearing something ore tomboyish. Bck leather shorts, a white blouse, and a bck leather jacket, with red decorations resembling roses.
“Do I look cute today?” she wondered. “Mama bought me these today! While you were away… Ah right, she also got you some new clothes!”
“Is that so… I’ll check them ter then,” Vd nodded as he patted Camil’s head. “And yeah, you look cute as always. Let’s go.”
The tire siblings made their way through the city of Elderbridge; there were no longer any toughs anywhere. Wherever he looked or spread his senses, he couldn’t find anybody doing shabby things.
The city had already begun to improve; with the twest anizations gone and mostly all their members dead too, and with rger amounts of food and jobs for everyone, people were finally beginning to improve their lives.
“The city looks lively today!” Camil said, looking around, as she saw the pza where the Dungeon Gates were located.
There were several children pying with one another and parents watg from afar. There were even small carts selling products, such as food, able items, and snacks.
Camil swallowed saliva as the two siblings passed close to a small cart that was selling “blood dies,” which were caramelized blood dots, popur amongst children.
Most people in Obscuritas drank blood; it wasn’t a thing only Vampires did. Mostly because water was often times inated and because their strong physiologies allowed them to easily gain sustenand hydration from it.
If only vampires drank it regurly, then there wouldn’t be much of a point in selling so many things made using blood, as it wouldn’t be rentable to just sell it to the few handfuls of vampires out there.
Although the popution of “half breeds,” which were dhampirs, half-vampires and half-other races, wasn’t that low, sometimes reag a hundred, it was still small in parison to the rest.
“You want some? Your brother’s riow, so I afford a little snao problem,” said Vd.
“Really?! I want the big one!” said Camil while drooling, pointing at a huge blood dy shaped like a heart attached to a little stick; it was a lollipop.
“Sure, but don’t tell mom I bought you dy before lunch,” nodded Vd. “One of those, please.”
Vd paid and bought the lollipop, giving it to his sister. The little vampire girl rejoiced, lig it happily. Vd ended up purchasing a few himself to see if they were that tasty.
“Hmm? These are surprisingly good?!”
Perhaps it was his oire Avatar finding all blood delicious by default, but the taste of the caramel and the saltiness of blood created an addig fvor that he couldn’t have enough.
Ohey reached the Church of the Evil Gods, the only church avaible iy as of now with a Css-ging stone, he had already eaten all the dies.
“Thank goodhis is a game; eating this much sugar would definitely not do any good to my body. I’ve worked so hard to get fit…” Vd felt relieved he could piggy out all he wanted in the game without sequences, IRL.
Ohey reached the church, the two guards g the two, instantly reizing their faces and auras this time.
It wasn’t like before at all!
Prince Vd had already bee famous all across Elderbridge due to his incredible feats, and even Camil became well known after fighting and defending the city.
The soldiers, meraries, adventurers, and even pyers had talked about everything they did everywhere, so it had already bee well known.
The guards, which were actually Padins in training of the Evil God Churd had ion with the Iron Blood Empire, still learned everything, as they oftealked with these people in taverns at night.
“Prince Vd?!”
“And Princess Camil…!”
Vd and Camil g them with pierg stares, the power of Vampires overflowing from their bodies.
Vampires oftentimes were sidered “superior races” or “high races” due to their powerful {Authority}, which develops as they grow.
The strohey bee, the strohis {Authority} bees, which makes other beings that don’t belong to “high races” instinctively feel fear and respect.
It wasn’t a Skill, but an innate ability of their race. Dhampirs took loo develop it, sometimes never developing it at all.
But Vd and Camil were the exception; their {Authority} was already strong, surging like powerful, overwhelming Auras.
Of course, they could also retract it and aal, but when it was time to show off their Authority as both strong people and as members of royalty, they had to release it.
Why?
To show others their pce!
The two guards, which were a blood elf and a half-orc, stepped back as they gritted their teeth; they didn’t want to, but their entire bodies were sweating cold sweat.
Without saying a word, Vd and Camil were telling them that “you are below me” and that “don’t you dare get close to me.”.
They didn’t even talk back to them; after the disrespect they showed the st time, Vd simply decided to not even address them as people but as bothersome things in the way.
“…”
He gred at them, and they immediately moved away to let them pass.
They didn’t even ask for a fee to pay to enter.
In fact, that was all bullshit; royalty enter any building free of charge.
As they ehe church, Camil giggled.
“Did you see that, brother? They were all scared, hehehe!” She giggled like a little demon herself.
“Yeah, it’s good they know their pce,” Vd nodded. “Now, I’ll go first; you stay here and wait; it won’t take me long.”
“Oh, okay!” nodded Camil adorably.
Vd stepped forward.
“Okay, let’s do this again then… Should I take the blessings of the Heavenly Demon again?”
He touched the stone as his mind was transported elsewhere.
FLASH!
This time, it wasn’t the same pce as before; it wasn’t the white area filled with the gods him.
No, this time…
“W-What the hell is this pce?!”
Vd panicked, realizing he was standing on a small, floating bck stone in the middle of the void.
Above him, he could see a dark sky, with a single, white eye staring at him, though he realized it didn’t belong to any divinity.
It was something like a moon, but not a moon.
Below him, the bck void, and more clouds, which stantly released lightning.
“This pce… What the hell is-”
“Hmm, iing, so this is the seindscape you were sent to… Quite the lugubrious pce. Reminds me of the Void yons of my Realm.”
“Huh?!”
Vd gasped in surprise as he saw the ghostly figure of the Heavenly Demon floating behind him, gring at him with a face full of pride and arrogance.
“What? I’m obviously here, as I was before,” he sighed. “However, it seems I o longer influehis pce like before. It is integrally structured differently… heless, because our souls are one, I seem to be able to ma my own self in here, to a limited extent.”
“T-That’s shog,” said Vd. “So, uh, hey.”
“Stop ag so awkwardly,” sighed the Heavenly Demon. “I have no time for your stupidity, my reination. It’s time for a. Look ahead of yourself.”
“Ah!”
Vd gnced in front of him, realizing there were several paths f out of floating bck stone debris floating around.
They all gravitated around his own stone and then formed paths elsewhere. The skies above and below trembled as gigantic floating isnds emerged.
RUMBLE!
From these dark, lugubrious-looking floating isnds, enormous temples, castles, or even ruins were erected, overflowing with different divine auras.
“What…?”
Vd was left speechless, and even more when a new system notification popped up.
