"Half Demon and Half Undead?" Ryder exclaimed in shock.

"Yes. My mother was from the Winged Demon Species of Demon Realm, and my father was from the Vampire Clan of the Undead Realm," Miyali answered him.

"Vampire? There was no mention of vampires in the game, even in the last timeline?" Ryder muttered in confusion.

"What about that guy who that Demon Lord killed? Didn't you call him father as well?" Ryder asked her.

"He was the brother of my mother. He was taking care of me like a father since my mother died when I was only a few years old. To not get people suspicious about me, he had me call him father. Although he wasn't my birth father, he was no less than a father to me," Miyali replied.

"What about your father? I don't know much about vampires in this place, but shouldn't vampires be immortal?" Ryder asked her.

"I don't know much about my father or where he is now. All I was told was that he was a vampire from the Undead Realm," Miyali looked down and responded.

"Alright, don't worry about that. Stay here comfortably and think of it as your home. I'll try asking around about vampires. Maybe we will find out more about you," Ryder told her, smilingly.

He was about to ask about why her eyes were a deeper shade of red now, but that's when there was a knock on the door.

Ryder walked toward the door and opened it, only to find Miku standing outside. Rale stood behind her.

"Oh, you're back. Wait a minute, I'll be right outside," Ryder told Rale before he looked back towards Miyali. 

"I'm going now; I should be back soon. If you need anything, you can ask Miku," Ryder told Miyali before he left her room.

"Rale, come with me," Ryder said as he started walking towards the underground location where spatial tunnels were located.

"Do you have anything to do here in the next few days?" Ryder asked Rale.

"Nothing significant, Your Highness," Rale responded.

"Good then. Let's go to the human realm again," Ryder told him.

"There? Is there something else we need to take?" Rale inquired.

"Not exactly. Think of it as a fun bonding exercise," Ryder chuckled as he said.

"We'll be going outside disguised as human adventures. I want to experience how they gain strength," Ryder said to him.

"Should I bring others as well?" Rale asked.

"No need. The two of us should be enough," Ryder told him.

"Alright," Rale nodded his head.

"Miku, we're going again. If someone comes, tell them that I'm sleeping. I should be back in a day or so," Ryder told Miku as he stepped down the stairs.

He stood before the first spatial tunnel and brought out his key. He opened the spatial tunnel door and entered inside. Rale entered after him.

Both of them appeared in the Malta Valley, the same location as last time.

"The location we need to go to is somewhat far away. You can carry me as you fly so that we aren't late," Ryder told Rale. That was one of the main reasons he brought Rale with him.

"Yes, Your Highness," Rale said as he held Ryder's hand. 2 wings appeared behind his back, and he began flying.

Rale flew, and Ryder told him the direction. 

Ryder was on the way when he got the message from Shu asking him where he was and how long it would take him.

"I'm on the way. I should be there in a few hours. I won't be late," Ryder responded.

"Alright. I'll wait with the others," Shu replied to him.

After a few hours, Rale and Ryder entered the Stech Kingdom.

They got to the City on the south and landed right outside the city.

"Wear your cloak and try not to take that off," Ryder told Rale, who did as he was commanded.

They entered the city and walked towards the center of the city.

As Ryder got there, he found Shu standing there. Shu looked similar to how he looked in real life, but there were a few changes. He had long hair in the game, and he even changed the color of his eyes.

A few adventures were standing beside Shu.

"Brother R... Hades, you're finally here. Right on time," Shu said, smilingly.

"Big Daddy, is that the person we were waiting for?" a girl that was standing on the right side of shu asked him.

"Yes. He will be our teammate in this exploration. Oh right, who's the person behind you?" Shu asked Ryder.

"He's a friend," Ryder replied.

"What do you think you're doing? As far as I know, Big Daddy only invited you. We don't need any more players in this mission. Do you think we're opening a charity here? You'll bring anyone with you, and we'll take it? You should know that each extra member means lesser rewards for each of its members," another girl said. She was wearing a Mage dress as well and held a staff in her hand.

Before Shu could silence the girl, Ryder started speaking.

"You don't need to worry about that. He doesn't need experience. He'll be with me, but he won't join the quest or the team. He's here just to explore the dungeon," Ryder told her.

"That's better," the girl snorted.

"You don't need to do that, Brother. We can have another player in our team," Shu told Ryder.

" I'm not kidding. He really is not here for the quest, so forget it. Anyway, aren't you going to introduce everyone?" Ryder changed the topic.

"Alright, if you say so. She is Mimi121; she's our Level 13 mage. That's SexyLady; she's our Level 12 Hunter. That's BlizzardCane; he's our Level 12 warrior. He's MountainMan, another Level 12 warrior. He's CharmingHunk, our 3rd warrior. He's level 13. She's Mamamiya, our second mage, level 13. She's PokiChu, our last mage, Level 13. Those two girls are our priest, she's LightinDarkness, and the one on her left is Darknessinlight. They are both sisters, and they're both level 12. And lastly, she's our second Hunter, Dumdum, a level 13," Shu introduced his team.

"Now you should introduce yourself," Shu told Ryder, mostly because he himself didn't know Ryder's class.

"I'm Hades; I'm a mage. I'm at level 15," Ryder told them.

"Level 15? You're the strongest on our team? Why don't you have a staff if you're a high-level mage?" SexyLady asked.

"I have a staff. I kept it in my storage," Ryder smilingly said as he brought out his Moon Scythe, which was already transformed to a magical staff using transformation.

"That's an excellent staff. Which grade is it?" Mamamiya asked Ryder.
