It was almost noon when Chris woke up. He went outside for a thirty minute light running to break a sweat. Once back home his housemaid had already prepared for him a warm bath. After he was finished with the bath and felt relaxed, he made his way to the hall where his housemaid served him a healthy breakfast the cook had made. When he finished it was already an hour and a half after noon. He made his way back to his room and sat in front of his desktop. He searched the web for information on Vampire Kingdom but he couldn't find any information except that it has already been more than 6 years(real time)since some players visited the Vampire Kingdom. Apparently you need a private invitation/permission of a higher class Vampire to enter their realm. Chris wondered what was going to happen to him if Vampires found out he entered their realm without permission. He already had a lot of enemies and the Vampires weren't his allies either. They were just...neutral.

'' I guess I have to find information inside the game by myself. ''

Chris stood up and headed towards the capsule. He opened it and entered inside it. This time he didn't have to wait inside the darkness like the first time. He listened to the familiar female voice calling him.

CONNECT TO ROYAL ROAD?

YES / NO

'' Yes! ''

* * *

Curun?r opened his eyes and found himself exactly at the same point he had disconnected the last time. He didn't have any time to waste, his provisions would run out soon. Once again he started running down and up the hill ridges on the same direction he headed the day before. It was much easier thanks to the stats he had gained, however now that his stats were higher, the stat increase slowed down by a lot. He stopped for another break when he passed ten hills in total. It took him almost half the time to do that compared to the day before, showing to him how big of a change can a few additional stats be. His stats however, weren't the only thing had changed. He had three breads left and no water in his canteen.

'' I have to find civilization soon or I 'm goin to die from hunger. ''

His satiation and stamina bar soon were full and he continued his endless journey. Only five hours later he got a disturbing message.

* Ding! *

You are in a dehydrated state, you are suffering from excessive loss of water from your body. Stamina and Satiation drop one and a half times faster.

Curun?r frowned as he checked the message but he only had the option to move until he was able to find a source of water. As time passed it was harder for him to move even though his stamina wasn't at dangerous levels. Four hours later got another message about his status and a new stat.

You are in a dehydrated state, you are suffering from excessive loss of water from your body. Stamina and Satiation drop two times faster.

Strength -2

Agility -2

Vitality -2

New stat: Sustenance

Sustenance: You are likely to use less stamina in action. You are prohibited from distributing stat bonus points to this stat

Curun?r thanked the God that took pity on him and gave him this new stat. He had a small hope about getting out of this hell. Every hope he had hower was lost 1 hour later.

You are in a dehydrated state, you are suffering from excessive loss of water from your body. Stamina and Satiation drop three times faster. You have a high fever! You are losing 10 HP per minute.

Strength -5

Agility -5

Vitality -5

When he got the message he was once again at the top of another hill. He fell on his knees since he wasn't able to continue, he had no stamina and nothing to eat. In addition he was losing health points every minute which meant he would soon die. He closed his eyes and waited for his torture to end.

'' Dammit, after all this way and this is the result. ''

Curun?r couldn't handle the effects of the dehydration anymore. His throat was more dry than the dessert or at least that's how he thought. Every breath felt like a hundred razors scratching his throat. He remained like that with his eyes closed waiting for his death. He was concentating every sense of his on this very moment. He wanted to feel this helplessness with every cell of his body because, this was the first and the last time he would ever allow himself to be in this kind of state. His thoughts and senses howerver were desturbred by a sound he had never heard till now in this world. It was the sound of .......

'' Water! ''

He opened his eyes to look around from where he thought the sound was coming and he indeed saw water. He saw a river no more than one hundred meters away from him. Curun?r put all the strength he had left in his legs, stood up and moved towards the river. In his dehydrated state and tired body Curun?r looked more like a zombie than a person. These one hundred meters seemed like a kilometer for him. Upon reaching the river Curun?r put water in his hands and then drank from them. He repeated that action until he thought wasn't possible for him to drink more. He lyed on the floor for a while to catch his breath and after a while he felt much better. He wasn't in a dehydrated state, his stamina descrease and stats were back to normal, and most importantly he stopped losing health points. With his stamina full after a while and his satiation at fifty percent he stood up to take a better look around the place.

The river had a strong flow and was quite deep. He definitely needed a bridge to cross over to the other side. He moved alongside the river in case he finds one along the way or find a part of the river that wasn't that deep. He would try to make a raft if only he had the tools but the only thing he had at the moment were his dirty clothes. It wasn't long after that he heard wierd noises. It sounded like animals were fighting each other and after Curun?r came closer to the source of the noise he saw two monsters fighting in front of a cave. One of them was a huge spider which was defending its territory as it seemed at the start. The other looked like a big wild yak with twisted horns pointing to the front. Looking closer you could see a small newborn yak next to the big one. In conclusion the spider was trying to get it's meal with a little dessert as a bonus.

The spider screeched at the yak which was using its body as a shield to protect the newborn. It started circling around the yak trying to find an opening. The yak didn't engage and watched the spider. Then the spider made a fast move and attacked the big yak using its fangs. Obviously the spider couldn't win with its strength against the yak but it was possible with its agility and poison, and so it did. Even though the big yak had thick fur, eventually the spider's fangs were able to pierce it and spread its poison. The big yak endured the pain since avoiding the spider's attacks wasn't an option. The moment the big yak avoids an attack the spider will attack the newborn. So the yak tryed to attack or better say counter the spider after its attack. It was able to take thirty percent of the spider's life but the yak had lost sixty percent of it's own because of the multiplyed effect the poison had since the spider used poison in every attack. With so much poison in its body the yak was getting slower and in the end the spider succeded an attack on the newborn yak. The big yak was angry before, but now.....now it was furious. It unlished its fighting spirit which stunned the spider and Curun?r even though he was about fifty meters away from the battle.

Curun?r's body stiffened and froze when was hit by the fighting spirit of the big yak. The air around seemed to be dense and he felt the gravity under his feet to pull him harder. In his eyes the yak now looked more like a demon and every fiber of his body screamed to him to turn back and run away but at the same time his eyes refused to leave the demon out of their sight. Curun?r on one hand wanted to leave and save his life but at the other he wanted to see what was going to happen next. At that point he heard a couple of messages but he ignored them.

The yak charged to the stunned spider sending it as a result on the wall next to the cave entrance. The spider once again stunned from the charged blow. The yak then attacked with its horns the underbelly of the spider making huge damage. It moved its neck furiously scraping spider bodyparts left and right. Before the spider could make a move it had died, turned gray and disappeared. Soon after that the yak fell on the ground and died too. The black goo that was all over it from the spider's belly was poisonous and it farther amplified the effect.

Curun?r after witnessing the battle had to admit how weak he was. The charge of the yak would kill him in the air before he could reach the wall and there were times that he couldn't see clearly the spider's moves. They were more like a blur to him and all of these together made it clear that these monsters were hundreds of levels higher than him. He couldn't hunt them anytime soon. Having a clear mind Curun?r decided to check the messages he took earlier.

New stat: Fighting Spirit

Fighting Spirit: You can call on superhuman strength temporarily, or bring weaker monsters to their knees with a force in your eyes alone. You are prohibited from distributing stat bonus points to this stat, and it rises spontaneously. Depending on the avatar’s action, especially if you fight monsters for a long time, or often confront monsters stronger than your current level.

New Skill: Dual Minded

Curun?r was dumbfounded. He had gained his first skill at last and was excited to see what it did.

'' Show Skill Dual Minded ''

Dual Minded[Passive]

Your mixed ancestry makes you resistant to mental attacks. You have 30% resistance to fear, illusion, fighting spirit, killing intent and other kinds of mental attacks.

'' Wow! Although it's little disapointing I didn't get an active skill, still this one will be very usefull now and in the future. ''

After he checked his new skill and stat he walked towards where the newborn yak was. It was lying on the ground with foam coming out of its mouth. Curun?r was able to look closer the newborn yak. It had short brown fur with a white spot at the back of his neck. Its size wasn't bigger than a dog and its eyes were black. Curun?r got another message then.

New Skill: Observe

'' Show Skill Observe ''

Observe[Active]

Curun?r got another usefull skill and decided to use it on the newborn yak.

'' Observe ''

* Ding! *

Observe level 2

He wanted to celebrate for using a skill for the first time and leveling it up but he restrained himself. He carried to newborn yak next to the river and washed its mouth of the foam. He also tried to help it drink some water but it was hardly breathing at that point. Moments later the poison of the spider had finally killed it, it turn grey and disappeared too. Curun?r felt kind of bad for the little yak but he didn't have time to waste, or else he would die too. He stood up and started walking alongside the river again but before he could make one step he heard a strong moan from behind him.

'' MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ''

Curun?r turned around and saw a wild yak coming from the same direction he did. The yak unleashed his fighting spirit and charged at him.

'' Oh shit! It thinks I am the one who killed the newborn. ''

He was right. Upon its arrival the yak saw the newborn disappear right in front of Curun?r and since no one else was around it holded him responsible for the newborn's death.

Curun?r wasn't affected much from the fighting spirit of the yak since he now had resistance to mental attacks and the yak was about two hundred meters away but he knew what was going to happen if he didn't run. The yak was much faster than Curun?r and that's why you could see the difference between them getting descreased by the second.

200m between them

*huff* *huff* *huff*

'' Damn it, what the hell did I do to deserve something like that ''

150m between them

*huuff* *huuff* *huuff*

'' Arriving at that particular moment what a freaking coincidence ''

100m between them

Dual Minded level 2

*aahuuuff* *aahuuuff* *ahuuuff*

'' Unless, it wasn't a freaking coincidence ''

Being chased by something like that can definitely make a person paranoid and crazy.

'' It's THEM! ''

50m between them

Fighting Spirit increases by 1

*aahhuuuufff* *aahhuuuufff* *aahhuuuufff*

'' THEY did this. THEY are watching me running for my life while a monster is trying to turn my ass to Swiss cheese ''

10m between them

Dual Minded level 3

*ahhhaaaaaa* *ahhhaaaaaa* *ahhhaaaaaa*

'' You think I am gonna let you torture me as you please? ''

Curun?r knowing that he would die if he wasn't able to do something fast, did the only thing he could at this point. He jumped in the river......

'' YOU FUCKING DEVELOPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERSSSSSSSSSSSS ''

When he fell inside the water he lost any kind of control he had over his body because of the strong flow. He tried to make his way up to the surface but he couldn't. He couldn't distinguish up from down between all that twisting the flow of the river did to his body. At some point he fell on a big rock losing some of his life but that also gave him the chance to hold on from something. Holding the rock with all his strength he pushed himself up to the surface where he gasped for air. After a few breaths Curun?r looked around trying to find a way to get out of this mess but what he saw astonished him. Huge rocks that seemed a lot like gates were at each side of the river. That was the last thing Curun?r saw right before a log tree hit his head and lost conciousness.
