《Dusk God》Chapter 9- Live Of a Adventure
Advertisement
With the puppets working at the mansion, I went out of the dungeon to talk to my new maids (Ex-Slaves) and divide them into cooking and cleaning while I made Richard the main butler.
Going to the study, I find that there are documents and books everywhere. So with a Wave of the hand, I made the system move it all with my magic and scan them down for information.
I had learned almost nothing new and confirmed that there are a lot of books on human biology and other doctors like items. It seems this family was interested in the human body for many generations. Which makes the puzzle of the riddle more confusing, after all looking for a human in this place was looking for a needle in a haystack with all the human research.
After the system scanned everything, I made it look for anything that might be related to the riddle that the viscount’s family past down. After seeing that there was indeed some information about it even though little, the system sent the books into my head for later.
I learned from the documents on the table that the former Viscount Franc the Third had left was about the current situation of the enterprise. The whole family wealth including the mansion and other worthy items came up to 134 thousand platinum. {(Authors note:134 Thousand may seem like a lot, but not in this world. This world focuses on items for bigger trades)}
After a week of studying in the room.
“Come in,” I say knowing that Richard if on the other side. After he came in he informed me that a royal knight was in the guest room.
I changed my Robe that, covered my body with noble-like clothing.
So after walking through the faint light lit halls and made my way over to the room.
I open the door to see a level 423 woman in a full plated armor set.
“Hello Sir, my name is Kristie and I have come over on the order of the king.” She says while not looking me at all.

“Well then, I am Dracula Pre,” I say before sitting down.
“So is there anything that I should know?” I asked as she looks off onto the floor distracted by nothing.
“Ahhh. Yes my lord the king wants an audience with you regarding the land of the kingdom.” She says with a forced smile and looked at me surprised.
“Oh, that’s it,” I say while looking impressed. Which made the knight that was frozen for a second make a frown.
“Yes that’s it my Lord, but don’t think you can say it like that. My Lord this is disrespecting the king and I shall not allow it.”
“I don’t mind that, but do you?” I said with a wicked smile that made the knight who was going to reach for her sword freeze, like a cat that had its tail stepped on.
“No my lord I don’t mind I just wanted to remind you because it might make people doubt your loyalty to the king.” She said while cold sweat went down her back.
‘Do you really think the king scares me?’ I wanted to ask, but I wanted to test her.
“So do you want to stay for dinner and we can leave tomorrow or do you want to leave now? I haven’t eaten yet.” I say with a sweet smile that made her white face turn slightly red.
“My lord, the king has given a time of a week to reach the capital and I will just stand with my lord with whatever decision you say.” She says with a loyal air surrounding her.
“I see then, we will leave tomorrow morning because the capital is 5 days away from here.”
After talking for a while, I made Richard make sure she finally fell asleep. With all her armor she took off I told the maids to find her clothes for the journey.
And I made the blood puppet One look for her belongings from the inns in the town.

After getting a cart for traveling readily with clothes and food did I go to sleep?
I woke up early to the sound of a woman's scream. I made my way to the source and find it to be the dungeon where Two stayed in to find Kristie and Two the Blood Puppet.
“Oh, you were looking where you weren't supposed to haven't you,” I say with an eerie smile made the floor crack under the presser.
“WHAT IS THAT?” She yelled seeing the dark red blurry making tools and a mineshaft that led out of town to an ore vein.
“Nothing much just a puppet I made, now then what do you think we should do with you?” I said with an indifferent expression. Which made her grab a sword on one of the shelves nearby.
“I shall tell you I am an SSS ranked and that you shouldn’t overrate yourself I know you only a recently became a ranked A ranker in the adventures guild.” She says with a focused eyes.
“Girl, do you really think I am A ranker in strength?” I said something to at least to scare her, but it didn’t seem to work.
“Did you call me a girl I'm old enough to be your grandma boy!” She yells seeming to not know that he had said anything else.
“Really you must be at least older than this planet to be so,” I say while laughing. She just looks at me not getting any joke I said.
“What is the strongest being on this planet Kristie?” I asked to see what she thinks.
“The Dragon King in the south, he is an X ranker after all.” She says like she is stating the obvious.
“What if I told you I could kill the so-called Dragon King with a wave of my hand?”
“I would say your crazy.” She replies not believing it.
“So I have to show you ha?”
“Ha, you won't be able to survive today what thinks you can fight later?” She tries to intimidate but fails.
“Bind,” I say and black ropes appears on her body tying her down. I pick up the stolen sword and say.
“What do you think now?” Which after doing so makes her face whiten and grind her teeth together.
“I think you die when the kingdom finds out, do you think that I'm the only SSS ranker in the kingdom?” She says anxiously.
“I know that there are four others in the whole kingdom and only you and another guy is loyal to the king,” I say with a long laugh.
“Do you think I'm stupid? I know that there is only 2 of you and that the king only sent you because he wanted you to look around first before I came over.”
“And since he thought you’ll be enough to deal with it he sent you,” I said with an intelligent air surrounding me.
“Or do you think I wouldn’t know that the resources around here I own is important enough for an investigation.” After saying so she makes a frightened expression, even after I said that she denied nothing, showing I was right.
“Yes, I know of the items that were found recently, who do you think found people to dig it up?” She who is bound by the rope of darkness could only hope that he didn’t want to kill her as she couldn’t even move an inch in the binding he chased.
She then tried to make a last resort by sending a signal to the king by the pendant of the royal guards, but before she could all she could do was look into a pair of glowing red eyes.
She later woke up in a cart and couldn't remember the events that took place earlier.

MAZE - The Endless Quest
As all kids do, Hera wanted to be an explorer. Sadly when she turned 18, she discovered that her stats and lack of skills made her fail the requirements to become one, and she went to work on a bookstore. That should have been the end of her story. But when she wins a lottery to have her level up, she discovers a hidden skill and a rare one at that. The system gave her dream back, and this time she is not letting it go. ############################## The story is about a world where game-like systems are the norm. Everyone has a level, status, and even skills are a common thing. If your stats are good, you can also become an explorer, someone that ventures inside a place called MAZE, a dungeon of sorts filled with monsters, creatures, and things that the natural world is missing, such as magic and demi-humans. The story follows Hera, a woman who wanted to be an explorer, but her status were too low to become one. One day she wins a raffle that allows her to level up for the first time giving her the chance to achieve her childhood dream. It's more about how things work and what you can do with them than about power or revenge. The rhythm might be a bit slow for some, but that is the idea. I want to give sort of a slice of life feeling to most of it.

Escape
Nathaniel has used what money he had to buy a VR cocoon and to pay off the next few months' worth of bills. He has two ways to move forward in life- to find a new job, or to hope that he can make enough money playing Final Escape to feed his meager, human body. He has rolled randomly, as only a fool would do, and finds himself playing a Kobold magus who wields the power of life itself. Hopefully, his role-playing is entertaining enough to generate revenue, because the game is changing his real self... or else, his real self is changing the human-shaped shell he used to wear.
