"Help! Help!" The voice cried. Erix's sense intensified the moment he heard that noise. He halted walking and focused his hearing around him to know where exactly the sound was coming from. "I guess it's coming from here," Erix finalized after he heard the cry again. The sound came from the forest on the left side of the road. Without wasting time, he dashed toward the direction of the sound. Normally, it could have been impossible for typical humans to see in that dark forest, but since he had a night perception, he had no difficulty seeing what the forest interior looked like. His vision was very clear as though it was daytime. While running, he tried as much as could not make too much noise to avoid alerting whatever was waiting for him at the other end. "Help me!" This time, the voice was clearer, meaning he was very close to it. As he got closer he noticed some things; The voice weakened each time it cried for help. Not only that, but it also sounded feminine. 'W
"I could have agreed to your words, but I don't just trust humans. Don't worry, I promise to give you a painless death." Erix said with a menacing smile."I can only assure you of one thing, I will accomplish the revenge you seek on your friend.""Ple….." The blonde-haired girl was unable to complete those words because Erix leaped over her and dug his claws into her neck.Since her whole body including her hands was tied to a tree, she could only wiggle under Erix's hold.The moment Erix's claw landed on her body, a warm tasty liquid streamed into his mouth straight down to his throat.The taste was enthralling. Her blood was oddly sweeter than the blood he had drank in the past. It was very sweet that he didn't let a drop of it escape his mouth.Perhaps the fear and adrenaline in her body made her blood additional tasty.'You're correct. That's why most vampires loved to taunt their victims a little before savoring their blood. The effect of adrenaline in their body makes their bloo
'Alright, since you don't want to sleep, I will use this opportunity to answer all those questions you asked when you were inside that game.' Lena replied. 'The reasons why you can't go to the demon world are simple; You are not yet strong. Demon world works virtually the same as how the human world does.' 'The illusion of survival of the fittest still stands. The weak are regarded as nothing while the strong are beheld as valuables. Though not quite as much as the way humans do disregard the weak among them.' 'Strong demons don't bully the weak ones as humans do. They only categorize them as trash, but not to the extent of making their life miserable by tormenting them.' 'Your going there will only include you in one of the overlooked weak demons. First get stronger before going there.' 'Your future with this system is great. It's greater than what you reckon. I want you to see earth as a preparatory arena. A place where you prepare yourself for the future.' 'Have you ever for o
Finally, the weekend has come to an end. And the students are finally gonna resume their normal school activities.Erix was the first to wake up that morning. He did his daily quests as usual and woke his friends when he was done preparing for school.He had many things to achieve today. Later today, he will be heading to the VR game to complete the quest he received yesterday. He is expected to defeat Zora and change the perspective of people about him.For sure, thinking of all this made him really nervous. But he still chose to believe in himself in the end.Who knows how far Orah has progressed in finding him?"What if he shows up today?" This was the thought that kept occurring in his mind throughout that morning.However, after some time, he banished those thoughts from his mind.Orah will nonetheless find him, so it was totally useless worrying about the inevitable.After they were done preparing for school, they bossed straight to the canteen and had their breakfast. As usual
Erix walked straight into the VR capsule the moment he arrived at the game store. Entering inside, he paid for six hours.Of course, he wasn't satisfied with just six hours. He wanted to pay for more time. But after deliberate thought about it, he decided to just pay for six hours. He has a reason for acting that way; Nothing stops him from paying for more time if he happens to expend the whole six hours and still wasn't satisfied. But he would be at a huge loss if he pays for what he couldn't keep up with. So for this reason, he decided to pay for just six hours as he was sure he would be able to expend the whole of it.As usual, Erix was transported into a white space. And in front of him was the menu. He decided to take a quick look at his inbox before proceeding. Unwrapping his inbox, he was shocked to see his followers had started to show an increase again.He had thought it would continue to decrease since many people now see him in a bad light after his futile fight with Z
The spectators began murmuring among themselves when they saw what was going on.Confusion was boldly written all over their faces.This wasn't what they were expecting. In fact, it wasn't logically right.How could a normal person be laughing while there was a full sword inside his stomach? Of course, it was unusual. Erix was smiling with a full sword inside his stomach."Are you even sure this boy is sane?" A boy asked in shock."Of course, he is. But I don't think he is normal." Another boy replied."Then who the f**k rejoices over a sword stuck inside their belly, if not a lunatic?" The first boy asked. "This is crazy. Wait, look at what he is doing, he is giggling like a madman." The first boy said as he pointed towards the ring area.The second boy looked up at the ring area and instantly froze in shock when he saw Erix chuckling away his time, this was even more than what he was doing earlier."M-Maybe you're right about him being a madman," The second boy stuttered in shock.
Erix was shocked when he saw that message. [Zora is requesting to have an immediate fight with you!][Would you accept the request?][Yes] [No]The message was vivid and clear in front of his eyes.Zora wanted to fight him again. 'Told ya! If my speculation were right, she will surely invite you over for another fight.' Lena rejoiced at her intelligence."B-But, I mean, why would she want to fight me again? I should be the one doing this, not the other way round. It's quite surprising, to be honest." Erix said, still finding it hard to believe.Zora defeated him in their previous fight, so why was she requesting to fight him again?'If she is planning to beat me like she did last time, then I'm sorry to free her from that illusion because she won't be successful this time around.' Erix thought.'Alright, stop wasting time. Accept it quickly. The countdown will soon end.' Lena said.'Ok,' Erix said before he quickly accepted the fight request.[A yes option has been selected][Would y
[9/25 HP]This was the message that popped into Erix's vision the moment he backed off from Zora. The pain was excruciating. Those spears were poking the tip of his heart.Shortly after he detached himself from Zora, he began to slowly pull out the pikes. In no time, he pulled out the two spears from his shoulder."Arrgh!" He let out an agonizing scream when those spears left his body.[5/25 HP][Host is in critical condition][Your hunger grows]Erix wasn't disturbed when he saw those messages. His blood bank was there to support him.[Blood bank auto-activated!][20 ml of blood has been used from your blood bank][25/25 HP]This message was endorsed by a fast regeneration. All the damages inflicted by those water spears healed up instantly."This is nice," Erix muttered before he quickly got into stance.This time he planned to attack with just his blood slashes and gauntlets as he was low on demon energy.Zora, on the other hand, was still handling the damage she got from those vi
