Alternate World Online - Chapter 97

Dro took a deep breath and closed his eyes. With his eyes closed, Dro held his breath for a moment before breathing out. When he breathed out his eyes slowly opened and he looked at Erylis.

“What happens now?” Dro asked as he looked at the face of the Vampire Queen. No anger could be seen in the eyes of Dro, only calmness.

Erylis looked at his calm eyes and spoke, “You have lost both your strength and equipment. Now you need to recover your strength.”

Dro looked at the Queen. He didn’t see any more Quest markers above her head. Dro sighed and thought, “So no Quests from here until ?”

Dro frowned and thought, “But why I am and why do I have no items? Is this because I have died?” Dro shook his head and thought, “Well no matter as long as I am alive.”

“Let’s go, Reiya.” The Vampire Elf nodded her head and said,”Where are we going, master?” Erylis frowned and suddenly said, “Dro leave Reiya behind and rise back to your strength on your own. Without the aid of anything or anyone. If you do that I will give you a legendary grade weapon.”

Dro looked at Erylis and frowned, “Why?”

Erylis didn’t answer Dro’s question. She just looked into his eyes and asked, “Do you accept or not?”

Dro frowned as the legendary item was very tempting to him. Dro turned his head to Reiya and met her eyes. She only nodded her slightly. Dro took a deep breath and replied, “If you give me the reason why you want me to reach my strength back alone. I will consider the offer.”

Erylis closed her eyes and sighed, “Very well. I don’t need another Vampire king under me. I need a strong progenitor who can fight on his own and who is not reliant on his familiars. ”

Dro looked at Erylis. He furrowed his brows and opened his mouth to speak but before even a single word could come out from his mouth. A sudden voice sounded. “Dro is not weak and he will do it.” The person that spoke the words was Reiya.

Both Erylis and Dro looked at this girl. They both were caught off guard by her sudden statement. Erylis looked at Dro and asked, “Are you as confident as much as your familiar?”

Dro looked at Reiya, “Are you sure Reiya?”

Reiya nodded her head, “I will be fine. Just don’t take too long as I still have a request that you didn’t yet do.” Dro nodded, “Alright.”

Dro turned to Erylis and said, “I will do it.”

“Very well Dro, let’s see if you can really do it.” Erylis looked at Dro with a smile on her face.

Erylis said, “Go back to Vampire Novice Village for now. It has repopulated and I am sure they have work for you to do.” Dro nodded, “Alright.”

“When I looked at my skills earlier I saw that the should be able to bring me to any place I liked.” Dro smiled and extended his head, . The gate opened up before him. Dro looked at Erylis and Reiya, “I will be back.” Erylis and Reiya both nodded their heads and Dro disappeared into the .

Erylis turned her eyes to Reiya, “Until Dro returns you will listen to my orders.” Reiya frowned but still answered, “Yes, my Queen.”

“Your first task is this. Go around my territory and search for any werewolf survivors. Kill every single one of them. You just have to search up to the wall.” Reiya raised her head and a glint of rage flashed in her pupils. She thought, “It was because of a werewolf that Dro had died. I will kill every single one of those filthy dogs.”

<…>

Dro walked out of the and looked around. When he saw the familiar zone he sighed and thought, “I am back here again,” Dro recognised that the area he stood in. Was the area when he appeared in the Vampire lands for the first time.

Dro turned his head to left and to the right as he looked around his surroundings. When he saw that there was not a single NPC in the area, he walked towards the direction of the .

Dro thought, “Erylis said that I can’t get a help of anyone. Does that mean I can’t make new Vampires? And have to reach just by myself?” Dro shook his head.

When Dro reached the city he looked around and saw that there were now Quests for him in . Dor sighed and thought, “Here we go again.” Dro approached the first quest giver and asked, “What do you need to be done?”

The Vampire turned in Dro’s direction and he knelt on the ground, “Your Excellency?!” Dro sighed, “Get up and tell me what do you need to be done?” The Vampire nodded his head and he got up from the ground and spoke, “Your Excellency please gather ten Vampire Bat pelts.”

<+1000 XP>

<accept, decline=””></accept,>

“Very well. I will do this task.” The Vampire bowed his head deeply, “Thank you, your Excellency.” Dro walked away from the Vampire and glanced at his empty hand. He thought, “I don’t even have a weapon. Am I supposed to fight bare-fisted?”

Dro sighed and walked to the location of the Vampire Bats. Dro knew exactly where the beasts were as he had already levelled in this zone. Dro quickly made his way and saw the monster in the distance,

Dro clasped his fist and punched towards the Vampire Bat that floated above the ground. The attack connected and damage floated up, <-43> After the attack landed Dro followed up with two more blows,

<-43>

Dro managed to launch three barehanded attacks before the Vampire Bat could strike at him. With the health of the Vampire Bat depleted a message floated up,

<+100 XP (2x Bonus)>

Dro looked at the message and spoke out, “That’s right. Since I reached the max level all players were given the experience boost.” Dro smirked, “This might be easier than the first time.”
