Part 1
The Town of Duskhaven
I logged back in and found that Lexi was still sleeping, I decided that to better my odds of winning against the gods I would first need to go find where the abyss was to free my people, the Dhampir.
Although I did decide to check my [Ancient Magician] title and my [Realm of Blood] trait, they were both pretty useful.
[Ancient Magician]
[Description: The first order of mages, using the primeval techniques and elements, this mages were regarded as some of the strongest and most influential beings in the world]
[Effect 1: +50 WIS]
[Effect 2: -25% Cooldown on all magic related skills]
[Effect 3: ??? | Required 500 WIS]
[Effect 4: ??? | Required 5,000 WIS]
[Realm of Blood] [Rank SS Trait]
[Description: Your rage manifests itself through the fourth realm, all existences in your vicinity shall feel themselves being choked as there blood tries to run away from you, weaker enemies will even faint or die...]
[Effect 1: <
[Effect 2: If the user wills inhumane amounts of rage, blood demons shall manifest and attack anything near the user]
As I looked at the description I felt elated, though the trait might pose problems later on if I can't control, but whatever, it only activates when I feel rage.
With my interview of my skills finished I woke up Lexi, my ever so fluffy titan wolf, and we started the long trek out of the tomb.
I kept myself calm as I thanked all the citizens and politely declined all the offers of marriage and free items, I quickly made my way towards the adventurers guild to ask them where the nearest floored dungeon is and what the abyss is.
On my way I saw white flashes of light, indicating that the town of Duskhaven returned to its spotlight as the best beginner town in Eve Online.
As I entered the adventurers guild I saw a lot of adventurers sitting in the pub or talking to each other, they were a giant rowdy bunch. Thankfully they didn't notice me because of my cookie cloak, yes I am, going to from now on call the demonic, monstrous, inhuman cloak of death, the cookie cloak. God bless my great naming sense.
I went up to the receptionist and asked her if I can meet the guild master, she looked at my as if I was joking until she saw my face, afterwards with some yelling and running I was finally sitting across the monster drinking tea.
"So...to what do I attribute this visit to?"
"Information."
"On what may I ask?"
"The Abyss..."
The monster dropped her cup and started emanating astronomical amounts of pressure, though compared to my [Realm of Blood] trait, it was like a drop water against the entire ocean.
"How do you know about the abyss! SPEAK BOY!"
"Dhampir. I must free my race..."
" *sigh* What do you know about the abyss, young Dhampir?"
"I only know that it is the prison for my race."
"Good that you came to me first boy, essentially, the Abyss, was originally a prison for the strongest and most vile and evil beings, after the Dhampir's were place that changed, all the evil beings were killed off, it is now essentially the plane were even the gods fear to tread..."
"Because of the lesser evil beings placed their, it became a nest of all the X rank and higher monsters, dark dragons, shadow titans, anything you can think of, you bet it'll have nested there."
"Is their level requirement?"
"Yes, in order to even think of entering the abyss, you must surpass the first barrier of power that leads to godhood, you must reach level 1,000, then the spirits of your power shall challenge you."
" *sigh* I knew it wasn't going to be easy...than may I ask if you know whether there are any dungeons that house remnants of the blood mages?"
"A recent dungeon that popped up a couple weeks away from here would be your best guess, it has 300 floors, elite monsters are the norm there, so I suggest you go there, it would be the best place for you to train at least up to halfway of the power barrier."
"Thank you, well then, I shall be on my way, do you know the nearest city to the dungeon? Also its name please?"
"Sure thing child, the dungeon is known as the [Titan Abode], the nearest city to it would the be the kingdom of Blodia, once the greatest empire of the blood mages, rivaling the ice mages, now a remnant of its original power, do not thank yet though, the road in front of you will be the most difficult..."
"Well...then I shall be on my way...thank you."
I used my special racial and left the guild quickly. In my confusion I killed the level 15 demon drake that was the special boss of the forest surrounding Duskkhaven, while sitting on the enormous corpse, I let Lexi hunt a bit while I decided to check my racials.
If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it. Basically the strength and speed of your normal vampire, but there was something missing, Ahem! I remembered, yes...I have the urge to drink blood now. Instead tasting like iron horseshit it tastes like my favorite drink of iced green tea. Lexi came back after a while and sat down on her paws, looking at me expectantly. " *sigh* Come on Lexi, lets get going, you wanna race?" "Race! Hah! As if I, an Titan Wolf, would loose to a mere Dhampir!" "Alright then, how about a bet?" "Sure." "If you win, I'll do a single stupid dance, but if I win, then you have to fight in your true form hehe..." "Damn bastard! How'd you find about my true form, you know what! Nevermind, I accept, to where are we racing to?" "The kingdom of Blodia, are you ready?" "Hell yea!" "1" "2" "3" "GO" At go I activated my special racial [Dhampir Speed] and bolted off, to a experienced adventurers eyes I would seem like a blur, I looked back and saw the young blood wolf trying to keep up with me in vain. -5 HOURS LATER- " *breathing heavily* hah damn- hah- bastard- hah- how can you- hah- go so fast- yet- not break a sweat-" "Haha! You lost Lexi, now lets find a inn before you shift." I picked up her exhausted form and quickly sped towards the highest grade inn, the price did not matter because I had 500 gold on me, I sighed as I walked into the 5 room suite, I felt a burst of mana and in my arms, instead of a giant wolf, was a beautiful 18 year old girl, with the face of a goddess, long blood red wavy hair, and blood red eyes (I checked), she could only be described as a goddess and...she was naked, so before anyone misunderstood I put her in a bed and let her sleep peacefully while I went to sleep in the other. The oblivious relief of dreams overtook me quickly, and I found myself inside paradise, literally. No really, with all the green plains, beautiful flowers, and the white nomadic expensive looking buildings it could only be described as paradise. I sighed for the third time, man this was becoming a habit. "Welcome, Young Dhampir..." said a pink haired small girl, though I knew she was no small girl, I felt monstrous amounts of power from inside of her. "Heya~ So...to whom do I owe the pleasure too that summoned me so rudely?" "Haha! Your a bold one, even for a dhampir! To talk to brashly with me when you know how powerful I am." "Yes its very funny, so which one are you? Spirit, God, or Deity? Also, don't mind me asking, but are you positive that you want to kill me? I mean I could help you in the future you know." "And why, might I ask, do you presume I wish to kill you?" "Most gods or other beings of power do, fate as not been very nice to me." "That mentality is good young one, though I must say, as much as you wish die, I don't want to kill you. Why would I? When I am the queen of Dhampirs, Mina Bloodborne." I kneeled on one leg. "Sorry my queen...I did not know, so I am guessing that this is the abyss?" "No need for formalities with me boy, and yes you are right, it is the abyss, the wretched place that binds our race." "Well, for a prison of eternal damnation meant for evil beings it looks like a nice place." "That would be too good to be true, I summoned you to my domain boy, as much as I am powerful and you compare to an insect in front of me, you were given the unfortunate job of saving your whole race sadly." "OH SHUT UP! I'll get strong soon enough, though I gotta ask, whats the stat of the weakest Dhampir? Just wondering." "Hmm? Well, on average, I'd say about 100,000 on all stats? Give or take?" I felt something crack inside of me... "Oi! Oi! Are you ok! Stop looking this depressed right now!" "It is ok my queen, this one understands, he shall go commit suicide right now!" "Oi! What the hell are you talking about?" "Stop this instant boy!" She slapped me, and I laughed. "Jeez, going that far to just annoy me, you remind me of someone very annoying, GAH! Anyways boy, I can't hold you for any longer so I will say two things." "First of all, you shall find many answers in the [Titan Abode] dungeon, and you shall also gain great allies." "Second of all, look after that girl that you have with you, protect her carefully boy, she will soon be someone very important, both to you, and to the whole world." "What! Why? Hey! Wai- NO!" I felt myself waking up and I inadvertently felt something, or someone, hit my head and a large thud could be heard. "NOO! MOI GAUD! LEXI-BOO ARE YOU OK!!!!"
