- Who am I talking to?At that moment, ten meters away from me, a female figure appeared from the darkness. As she approached me, I saw her more and more clearly.When she came to me at arm's length, I could see her completely.She was an elf of indescribable beauty with long, braided silver hair. On her head was a golden tiara with small rubies embedded in its outline. Her clothes shimmered bright red, as if they were embroidered from flames. Looking into her beautiful blue eyes, I immediately realized who was in front of me.— Elaine? I asked.- Yes it's me. But it doesn't matter now, what are you doing here? she asked with concern in her voice.What am I doing here? Damn, why isn't she blocked? I don't know what to say to her...- Wait, wait. Where am I at all? And why are you here? I asked.“It's hard to explain…” Elaine thought.“But you try, because I have no idea what this place is. And I ended up here quite by accident. We were relaxing with friends, and I drank some rubbish,
When I went outside, I was horrified. Most of the houses had almost all the windows broken. Empty bottles and torn clothes lay all over the street. Everywhere you looked, you could see an unconscious elf or orc. There was a huge pool of blood around the corner.- Fuck off! What have you done here? I asked in bewilderment, looking at the devastation in the city.- Yes, we ourselves did not expect, Loire and Efil parted a little.- A little?! What the hell is this? I shouted and pointed with my finger in the direction of a completely naked waitress, hanging on a post in an unnatural position and unconscious.- I'm shocked ... If this crap happens every time, then I don't drink with you anymore ... Oh, and here they are.The barely alive Loire and Efil moved in our direction, in their arms they carried ... Hinz!- How shoud I understand this? I pointed to the kobold.- Ltd! Sol, great! It was a great party, and your friends are just fire! he yelled back at me.- No, you're definitely all
After her words, the petty fussed and retired to the kitchen.Literally a minute later we had four mugs of dark beer in front of us. We drank from them together, and Efil spoke:“Sol… I heard you have attained the rank of Demonid. Yes, and in your world you are at a fairly high level in terms of strength. Luara and I have already discussed this, she agrees to my request. But I can't help but ask directly, after all, it is connected with you.- What's the request?— You have already heard, I have a husband — Edgar. He is strong enough and refuses help... But there is one thing that he cannot cope with alone. Nobody can handle it. This is where you need to be smart. You see, the neighboring kingdom… Erdania… They are preparing for war. My husband is now clearing the dungeons with part of our troops in search of valuable artifacts, thanks to which we can replenish the treasury of the kingdom. This is necessary because we cannot stand against Erdania alone, and the money will give us the
“Bring me a drink…” he commanded his subordinates.During the long years that he spent here, he managed to put together an impressive army of enslaved captives. All of them serve him faithfully, even if they try to resist it. Today, there will be a replenishment in his army."Have fun, man..."***Where did it take me? It looks like some kind of crypt. Brr... It's cold in here. Most likely, the undead or something worse lives here. Let's hope that nothing serious and the main danger lay in the gate itself.I took out a mushroom that gave me night vision from the ring, and after eating it, I moved forward. Luckily I have a few left.Moving through the crypt, I did not find anyone. There was a feeling that the dungeon was empty. But I understood that this was a deception, because I constantly felt someone's eyes on me.For half an hour of wandering, I never met anyone, but I found a descent. Most likely, this dungeon is multi-level.Without pulling the cat by the tail, I went downstairs
I was lying on the floor in a fetal position, and hellish pain spread all over my body. It came from the neck region. There was a feeling as if a red-hot dagger was stuck in my throat, I could not describe this feeling in another way.- What is happening to me? groaning, I asked.- Can you talk? I confess that you surprised me, so I'll tell you.I looked up, and I managed to make out the silhouette of a creature that vaguely resembles a man. He sat on a pile of bones, apparently, it was a makeshift throne. Apparently, he is in charge here ... Well, I got here ...I won't go into details, you don't need to know. The only thing I can say is that soon you will begin to obey me,” the creature said, and its eyes flashed with a bright flame.“Ugh… become a vampire?”— Quite right! And what's more, thanks to you, I can finally get out of here!Vampire? Damn, damn, damn! This just wasn't enough for me! Wait, what else is this?I glanced at the flashing icon in the corner of my vision. As I co
The main plan is to weaken the vampires. For this, everyone who was here ate a clove of garlic. Fortunately, I just had a couple of heads lying around in the spatial ring. I don’t remember exactly where I got them from there, but we will consider that we were lucky. The captives said it should work. I will believe them, yet they know much more about vampires than I do.According to them, this will not kill the bloodsuckers, but it will make them much weaker. They are equal in strength to an ordinary person. But for this, a certain time must pass, something about half an hour.We agreed that as soon as this moment comes, I will release the prisoners, and they will be able to deal with the offenders with their own hands.Of course, I could deal with the vampires myself, so as not to put the captives at risk ... But there are always those who will not come to feed, and this will be a big risk for me ... After all, when I deal with the weakened, but still alive vampires, I a blow from qui
I waited in the shade for about half an hour, but I did not notice any signs that everything had begun. Most likely, not everyone has managed to gather yet, or Rake is simply waiting for a more opportune moment to attack.After another ten minutes, strange sounds began to be heard from the direction where the old man had gone. Following them, a heart-rending scream was heard from Lestat's room.- Who?! Who dare?! shouted the Ancient One.It seems that it has begun ... Now the most important thing is not to make a mistake and deliver an accurate blow with a dagger right in the heart.A moment after his cry, the gates swung open, and I saw Lestat standing on the threshold. A grimace of hatred and anger was reflected on his face.I didn't have time to blink, as he immediately disappeared from view. Crap! I'm too relaxed!Concentrating, I tried to catch his movements - I succeeded! Fortunately, I managed to react in time, and now I already saw that he was moving in my direction with great
I left the room and looked around. Where could he go? He seemed to be saying something about the outside world… So, most likely, he is going to go outside…The question is, can he do it? In theory, the dungeon is still not considered cleared, which means that Rake was the boss of this dungeon. It is likely that all those adventurers who lie behind me are not real. Maybe they're just part of the script. Such an option cannot be ruled out. Still, this dungeon is not standard, and it clearly has some kind of plot. The quest was given to me...But there is another option… What if these are all unplanned events? Just a series of accidents that escalated into something terrible.Thinking like that made my stomach twist and my vision blurred.The first option is better, in which they were all created along with this dungeon. But who knows... Perhaps these dungeons are also not a convention, but a very real location in one of the worlds.Okay, time to stop thinking about it and start looking
