It has been three days since Leiu’s last meeting with Hye Nari. Due to the constant whining of Fairti, he had to leave him in the manor to rest and eat his fill. Meanwhile, Leiu teleported to Earth, appearing right inside of the manager’s office.
The moment he appeared, Leiu’s nose was assaulted by a strong and nauseating smell. His eyes immediately rested on Nari’s chair. Like always, she was sitting there, however, there was blood splattered on the ground, the desk, and a bit of the wall.
It was like a bucket of cold water was dumped on the youth. He stood there, astonished beyond belief, his quivering eyes staring fixedly on Hye Nari, who laid motionless and lifeless on her chair.
“Boss!”
“Okay, I got it.”“What? That’s it?” Leiu looked up to the noble youth, who didn’t question anything of what he said.Just before the regression, the two traveled to Moonlake City and throughout the route, Leiu would explain what happened to Fairti. It was an effective way to take their mind off what happened in NetherFrost. Unexpectedly, when Leiu told the first story, his friend didn’t call him a liar or doubt any word, much to his surprise.“I thought-”“What did you think?” Fairti interrupted him and chuckled.“I mean, I know enough about you to know that you’re not inte
“Since we must not rely on the last regression chance, this could be considered your last attempt, Leiu. Your ex-boss and that girl, they need to be saved at the right time and place, which would consequently shift the timeline enough for their inevitable death to be rendered obsolete. You have five days and it’s better to repeat the same things you did last time but I’d rather you didn’t leave me in the manor. The logs you spoke of will recur again and that’s enough proof that the same thing will happen and Amon will escape. Truthfully, I do not want to be there again to witness it… I don’t like ghosts.”“More like you are scared of them.” Retorted Leiu while snickering at the noble youth, who was releasing fake coughs to hide his embarrassment.
“What’d I tell you? It was a good price to pay for them, was it not?”Fairti cackled like a lunatic, pacing around the small inn room and folding his sleeves, clearly about to begin reading.“The Disruption Potion is just a precaution. The killer might be capable of long-ranged teleportation… maybe that’s how he escaped the scene in the past, err, or in the future.”Leiu did not reply, he swept his hand and stored the four potions in his inventory, along with an additional twelve Invisibility Potions.“Twelve potions means sixty-five minutes of invisibility. That’s not enough.”“I know
“So…” Fairti gestured for Bin to sit before he continued his lengthy explanation.“The Night World is, very much like the Realm of Darkness, a well-hidden dangerous world. There are big differences between the two, however. The Night World is way less known and information about it is scarce… almost non-existent. I’ve read these books but there were but a few mentions of it and all were brief and less explicit than I had imagined.”“What about the Infested Spawn?” Asked Leiu, a frown slowly forming on his uncommonly pale face.“Oh will you let me finish. The Night World is- literally- a place where there’s an eternal Night. Even if you try to use Light artifacts or Holy Magic there, it won’t illuminate
Leiu threw his chained hook at the murderer and was able to stop him with ease. The Invisibility Potion would wear off if he engages in combat so, like a ghost, he appeared in front of the two startled women. He didn’t bother explaining himself, instead, he tugged the chain and pulled the flailing masked man toward him.Without any hesitation, the Dark Knight grabbed his greatsword and cleanly decapitated the murderer, his head flying in the air then rolling on the ground. Although he very much wanted to interrogate him and learn more about his motive, he couldn’t keep him alive as that could potentially endanger Ayeon and Hye Nari.*Congratulations! You completed the ‘False Murder Quest’.**+1,000 Gold.**You obtained t
“Tatan!” Fairti was puffing his chest proudly and pointing at the product he ordered a couple of days ago. The second Leiu appeared in the inn room, he saw the blonde-haired youth and a piece of dark blue heavy armor laying on the bed, right next to him.“What’s that?”“What does it look like?! Of course, it’s an armor. A very special one that will prove extremely useful in the Night World and against the Infested Spawn. It should have cost me over 100,000 Gold but I bought it from a friend.”“I didn’t know you had friends.” Leiu shrugged and walked closer to the bed, scrutinizing the armor, which didn’t look that bad. Actually, it looked even better than the ones he’s equipping right now. It glist
Just like before his regression, Leiu found himself in a world of primordial darkness when the timer had reached zero. The sky was lacking any stars, it was a mass of ominous blackness that stretched as far as the eye could see. The ground wasn’t any different either, it was jet black and made from an unknown material. Basically, everywhere the Dark Knight looked, there was naught but the same darkness, making him feel slightly stressed.When he had been here for the first time, he didn’t pay much attention to his surroundings.. he only wanted to die so he wandered aimlessly. Now, however, he needs to tread with caution and make sure that the Infested Spawn do not ambush him, as is their wont.The Burning Jar Armor piece was doing its job perfectly. With each step he took, there was a visible and beautiful trail made from
The Night World was much worse than Leiu had anticipated. It was, literally, one fight after the other, with little time to rest of wait for his skill’s cooldowns. In almost an hour, he had barely walked a hundred meters. As Fairti repeated many times, the Infested Spawn are a relentless race that would chase him to the end of the world if must be. The good thing, however, is that the Experience gained by slaying them is really generous. Leiu actually leveled up twice and since each level up would make him instantly recover his Mana, Stamina, and Health, he didn’t feel that tired after fighting non-stop. ‘-1045’ ‘-891’ ‘-943’
