2024-10-29 19:42:56Rebecca Hudgens, the elite vampire player, is on the 12th floor of the Intermediate Stage.
She’s chasing an elite orc spy of the Necromancer Guild that she caught exchanging information with an elf she just killed on the spot.
Good thing there are a few elite vampires around in that place to take care of the training, security, and welfare of the vampire initiates, or else those elite players who belonged to the enemy would have wrecked the place, and laid waste to their plans without a second thought.
She thought to herself.
Those damn beasts these fucking orcs ride on are extremely fast. Good thing I got superspeed as an ability, and I can turn into a large bat. I need to close the distance fast, or this orc will escape.
She thought as she turned into a bat and increased her speed to catch up with that of the fleeing orc.
A few hours of a wild chase up and down the floors of the Intermediate Stage happened before she finally cornered the elite orc, who stopped to rest in an inn on the 3rd floor of the Intermediate Stage.
“Inuk the Clever, give it up. I caught you. What are you doing, spying on vampire territory? You’re really as clever as the stories I’ve heard about you.”
Rebecca said while carrying a goblet of wine that she ordered from the inn counter.
She approached Inuk and sat in a seat next to him.
“Rebecca Hudgens, what do you want?”
The elite orc replied to Rebecca, obviously surprised.
“Pretending to be dumb, eh, sly orc? I know what you did. Who sent you to spy on the vampires?”
Rebecca said with an evil grin.
She poured the goblet of wine she is holding straight onto the head of the orc.
“Will you talk, or not? It happens that I’m craving orc blood, and if you don’t cooperate, you’ll end up as my next meal.’
A dagger with rune inscriptions on the handle materialized in Rebecca’s pale right hand.
She placed her dagger at the orc’s neck and bared her fangs.
A sudden and hushed silence filled the once noisy inn, as the other players turned their heads to watch the quickly escalating scene.
“isn’t that Rebecca the elite vampire? Looks like someone unfortunate enough pissed her off so badly he’s about to become her next meal.”
Rebecca could overhear the other players talking to each other in hushed tones thanks to her heightened senses, but she didn’t care.
“For Hashimoto’s sake, Rebecca. Put that dagger down. I’ll talk. “
Inuk said calmly, trying not to make his rising panic obvious.
Rebecca put her dagger down, then ordered another goblet of wine.
She finished the whole shot of wine in one sitting.
“Let’s talk somewhere private. The other players here can overhear our conversation. It’s a pain in the ass to contain an information leak because someone starts babbling, correct?”
Rebecca said to Inuk
Inuk immediately understood what Rebecca meant, and he agreed.
Rebecca grabbed Inuk’s arm, and they reappeared later in the woods.
“What is this place? Where did you bring me? I told you the whole truth earlier while we were traveling, I swear. “
Inuk said in alarm as he realized what Rebecca is plotting while they walked along the dark path.
“Wrong, Inuk. You’re lying all along. Didn’t you consider for once that I’m a mind reader? I can make up better excuses than you, sly orc.”
Rebecca bared her fangs again at Inuk.
Before Inuk could react, she used her superspeed and the enchanted rope she bought from the system store to tie Inuk securely in a seated position to one of those tall trees dotting the entire background.
“Give me a convincing reason why I shouldn’t kill you, Inuk. Oh, and the hungry creatures of darkness are on the prowl here again.”
Rebecca said menacingly to Inuk, her fangs still bared.
Her dagger reappeared in her pale right hand, and she pressed it at Inuk’s neck.
“Don’t even think of breaking free. This rope is enchanted, specially made to contain tank-build players with the strength of a warrior like you.”
Rebecca smirked.
“We’re both sly and clever, Rebecca. There’s no need to do this. I’m willing to come clean and switch sides. I can be your spy and spy on the Necromancer Guild for you. You should reconsider this.”
“And why should I trust you and believe you? I caught you lying earlier. I caught you exchanging info with that elf. Tell me, did you bribe that elf to give you information? You should have at least covered up your tracks, you sly bastard.”
“I can make myself of use, and be your most trusted and capable ally if you spare me. Please. “
Inuk pleaded with Rebecca, but she just laughed him off.
“Who are you to talk to me about loyalty and trust? I know your history. You lied, bought, bribed, and manipulated your way to the top, correct? I know we’re no different, but the difference is I did it to safeguard the vampires. As for you, you’re a turncoat who only thinks about your own skin. “
Before Inuk could open his mouth again, she shut him up with a tirade of her own.
“I know what you’re thinking. You look panicked, for someone who sent a lot of players to their deaths. Has it occurred to you that one day, you’ll get caught by the enemy, and tables will turn? I’ve been left to die, gaslighted, and turned on by scum like you, scum I once thought to be allies. Where are they now? I had all of them put to death. “
“Why are you telling me this?”
‘You’re too dangerous to be left alive. Goodbye, half-human orc.”
Rebecca fatally stabbed Inuk in the abdomen, making the half-orc cry out in pain.
Then she turned around, and walked away, ignoring the half-orc’s desperate pleas for forgiveness and assistance as the half-orc felt his life slowly drain away.
She knew that if the wound from the dagger doesn’t kill him, then the creatures of darkness, attracted by the scent of his blood, will finish him off.

Rebecca Hudgens, the elite vampire player, reflected on her actions earlier as she made her way back to the territory of the vampires.She did what she had to do to remove the threat to the vampire initiates.She couldn’t stand the likes of Inuk the Clever, who only thought of saving their own skin, although she uses just the same methods as the half-human orc she left to die.She didn’t want a repeat of what happened in the past.The memory was like a bitter stain that she found hard to erase, no matter how hard she tried, or what she did to forget.She still remembered that day, as if it just happened yesterday.She was still a newbie vampire who just passed the vampiric initiation.The ancient war between the werewolves and the vampires still raged on that day, and everyone was on high alert.She didn’t know back then that the vampire-werewolf war was instigated by the goddess of death, Morrigan, to prevent the vampires and the werewolves from rallying to the side of the dragon god

Galadriel is at the Creator Stage, sitting outside Hashioki’s living quarters, and staring out the window.The cute, sexy, and attractive elven ranger who looks younger than her actual age, wearing the typical attire of an elven archer, seemed to be waiting for someone to arrive.“Hashioki, where are you? I got wind of a nasty rumor regarding the archdemon Beleth.”The cute and sexy elven ranger typed in the system’s in-game chat to Hashioki.“Galadriel. Let me guess. Are you right outside my room? Wait for me. I’m on my way from a very important meeting.”Hashioki typed back.“All right, I’ll wait for you. Take care out there.”Galadriel typed in a reply.Galadriel waited for a few minutes, and sure enough, Hashioki arrived.“Sorry I made you wait, Galadriel. Come in.”Hashioki unlocked the door to his living quarters, then he let Galadriel come inside.“Your living quarters are still as simple, clean, bare, and modern as ever, Hashioki.”Galadriel remarked, unsurprised.“You know I’

The demon Beleth is outside the castle grounds, in the battle arena, fighting with Alastair.Many lower demons flocked to see two high-ranked demons fight each other from the safety of the seats that surrounded the Demon Arena, protected by a powerful magic barrier that shields the spectators from powerful blows and magic done to each other by combatants in the Demon's Arena. A majority of the seats are filled with spectators, The Battle Arena is where demons and their allies fought seriously to hone their skills. "Total Darkness Activate"Beleth chanted. The Battle Arena grounds went dark. Beleth sped towards the location of Alastair while atop his pale horse, with a spear in his hand. Alastair at first fumbled in the darkness before he chanted a spell that allowed him to see in the dark. Alastair teleported at the back of Beleth. He lifted Beleth's pale horse effortlessly off the ground and flung Beleth's pale horse right above Beleth, who managed to teleport safely to the

While Beleth ate and drank in the wide, expansive garden grounds, he thought that he was alone.He is proved wrong when he sensed something invisible prying around. He sensed a gumiho named Gyeo-wool lurking around. "Gyeo-wool, I know you're there. Show yourself." A young-looking lady, who wore an attire that looked like it came from the early Joseon era, came into sight. A cold and chilly atmosphere filled the entire garden, and snow started to fall gently. "Lucky for me that these plants are magically enhanced and cold-proofed, or else they would have melted when you are around, my dear." Beleth said softly, gently caressing the gumiho's cute face, while caressing her bright red hair. "What do you care about more, your plants, or me? This is the only time I've managed to sneak my way into your castle again. You know Lilith's temper." Gyeo-wool whined. "You, of course, my dear. These plants are easy to replace." Beleth soothed Gyeo-wool. "Since when were you here, Gyeo-wo

Noctis and Takara are inside the auction house. "You got stuff to auction, my dear?" Noctis asked Takara. They held hands while walking together to the auction counter. "Yes, my dear Zero. I obtained the Nemean Lion's Fur Coat after defeating it. I don't find it suitable, so I might as well sell it at the auction." "Wait. Did you just say Nemean Lion's Fur Coat? Let's have it enhanced first at the Blacksmith's Shop, have the blacksmith place Legendary and God-class features on this cloak, and change this cloak from rare item to God-class." Noctis stopped Takara from approaching the counter, and started dragging her outside. " Why the need to go to such lengths? It's just a damn item that any normal player will kill to obtain. What do I gain here?? What are you plotting? I guess you're also aware that upgrading an item from rare to normal in a Blacksmith's shop is rarely successful. I'd say it has a 60% chance of failing." Takara asked with her eyebrows raised and her lips for

Noctis and Takara are inside the inn on the 10th Floor of the Novice Stage. They drank koshu, or Japanese white wine, paired with a good hearty Japanese feast of sushi ,gyoza, yakitori , kashipan, yakisoba, takoyaki, and tonkatsu. They ate and drank on a complete Japanese dining set. They ignored the envious looks of the ordinary players, who cast looks at them, while murmuring to each other in hushed tones. "Isn't that Player Zero, who topped the charts in opening tests? And landed in the top 1 ranking for Novices?""I saw him easily beat up Joe Franco, the Guild Leader of the Scraper Guild. It was a rare sight to see, an overpowered newbie who just casually tossed aside Joe Franco as if Joe was just an ant to be stepped on." "Isn't that girl the multi-elemental mage Takara Elric? I saw player Zero rescue that attractive girl and got her out of the clutch of Joe Franco. Scared and intimidated the shit out of Joe, rather." "You're right man. Damn, what I'd give to get that girl

The next day, Takara and Noctis returned to the VIP corner of the Blacksmith shop. "Takara, Zero, what are you doing here? I guess it's not about those items you had customized, is it?" Yuusei said, "Precisely. What we want to talk about is your history with the former Gamer Guild. But before that, let's have Takara here to see what she can do so no one will eavesdrop." Noctis replied to Yuusei. "I'm a multi-elemental battle mage, not a witch. Luckily, I'm prepared for situations like this. Thanks for the new spell book you gave me, my dear. It really comes in handy." "Will the both of you cut this lovey dovey stuff, you lovebirds? Just get started and cast the spell already, Takara. I don't have time to witness you being sweet to each other 24/7. I got some refining to do afterwards." Yuusei cut in impatiently.

The Assassin Gamer Chapter 20: A Fight With A Wild Basilisk
The elite werewolf player Raymond Collins is in the wilds, helping Asuka Enomoto, the witch assistant of Chiyo Chinen hunt down a fierce but wild basilisk. "What do you need a fierce basilisk for, Asuka? Do you need some basilisk parts? You witches and warlocks do use weird concoctions for your brews." Raymond said as he turned back into his wolf form and charged at the basilisk. "Be careful, Raymond. That basilisk can spew venom and fly around the place." "I know it. I'm not dumb. Just do your thing and give me back-up with your spells already." Raymond said to Asuka through telepathy while in wolf form. Raymond pounced at the Basilisk, which couldn't avoid and fly upwards in time, as the sheer strength of Raymond in his wolf form completely suppressed the basilisk's evasiveness. " This snake is slimy as hell. At this rate, I can only suppress this high-leveled snake for a few minutes. Do it now, Asuka." Raymond said telepathically to Asuka while atop the struggling basilisk,

Now that the three of us are here, let's sort out the misunderstanding between the two of you, alright? This can't be allowed to go on, or else it will develop into a civil war, and the Majority Faction will take advantage of this." The young and sexy vampire cleared her throat, and began to speak. " Hmph. "Both Hades and Methis said together in unison, looking down their noses at the attire that Etsu wore.

They sat at a VIP table in the Inn, busy eating a meal of oven roasted chicken, while drinking expensive cider. "I believe you didn't invite us to this meal for nothing, and for free, Lelouch. You even took extra precautions to place a shield barrier around us that prevents the others in the VIP section from overhearing what we're talking about. Who are you? What do you want?

Chapter 34: Out-bidding The Other Faction
"The Last Item to be auctioned off today is the Nemean Lion's Fur Coat. The starting bid is 30 million gems." Yurika announced from the stage of the Auction House. "I bid 40 million gems for this fur coat." Noctis looked around to see an elite orc player bid for the fur coat. Let's see how this develops. The Orc Guild belongs to the Majority Faction, and his brother used to clash with, and often kill Orc players from the Majority Faction for trying to get into his way. The Orcs are strong, muscular and tanky, with great defense, attack power and strength, but they are slow due to their size, so the speed stats of the fur coat will be just a minor boost. Noctis thought to himself. "I bid 100 million gems"An elite goblin player from the Goblins Guild countered. The goblins also belong to the Majority faction. They are said to be extremely rich, hoarding a lot of gold and jewels in their headquarters. They specialize in sneak attacks and setting up ambushes, making the most use

Why did you bid for that mace, when you're not even a fighter class? The weapon isn't compatible with you. And why did you let your sister fend for herself, with zero support, when you could have at least backed her behind the scenes since you got a Nobility Badge? "Awkward silence filled the air for a few minutes before Iona managed to reply back through the message function of the game system. " I wanted to get back at Esumi for disrespecting my sister upfront. So I decided that I might as well spoil his plan for the 100th time again.

Chapter 32: Esumi Gets Shamed
A few hours passed inside the Auction House.

It's a wonder they can hike the value of so-so items that high. I'm not surprised. Dogs always fight for scraps, not the whole meal. Noctis thought to himself, totally unimpressed by the items being auctioned off. "It's a wonder that fights don't break out inside the Auction House. I can already sense that the tension is about to break the fragile peace inside from here." Noctis remarked while observing the whole scene. "Simple. If a player attempts a fight inside the Auction House, he'll be an open target to the other players inside the Auction House.

They went to the counter of the Auction House, and presented the three legendary class items to the sexy and attractive girl wearing a tight fitted adventurer's clothes that exposed her flawless skin and sexy body who is seated behind the counter. The girl's eyes widened in surprise at the sight of the three items. "The mace, pendant, and coat are normally items dropped by minibosses after they die. To think someone managed to change the class from Rare to Legend class. This will definitely cause an uproar among the elite players. Are these the items that you want auctioned off?
