God Is A Game Designer - 64 C64 We Plan At Dawn

Thirtieth of New Coming of the Year 997 – Inside the Crimson Manor

Nathan awoke from his slumber, his body cool as the room around him was rather cold after the long night, the sounds in the distance of people working as he heard someone outside the back door. It was clear they were cleaning the pool during this time.

Nathan stood up as he moved into the en-suite bathroom, his eyes looking to the mirror as he noticed small but noticeable changes, he appeared slightly taller, and his body had started to fill out somewhat, his malnourished look has become less pronounced. It was clear that the powers themselves had caused his previously malnourished body to grow healthy and correct itself to a natural state.

While this seemed like a slow change of pace, it was natural since his own power words never affect direct change in him. He had noticed the difference in many others around him when the transformation process continued, but sadly in him, it always remained the status quo.

Nathan left his room as he walked down the hallway, the floor creaking lightly under his footsteps before he eventually arrived in the massive dining hall.

It was early in the morning as the sun had just started to rise over the eastern horizon. Nathan took a seat on one of the dining tables near the middle.

The few vampires around seemed surprised at him, everyone staring at him as they had felt the power coming from him. While they usually could sense nothing from the man. This time it was different as they had connected to his source of energy. Everyone felt the power erupting from him like a continuously erupting volcano.

It only took a few moments before the few vampires around bowed, everyone, getting onto hand’s and knees, praying towards him as they had given them a new lease on life.

They had all felt the multiple channels of power entering them, everyone feeling even more alive than ever before as fertility, aqua and journeying magic came to them, few of them still outside flying around with the new divinity.

Nathan sat thinking about everything as he heard the chair across from him getting pulled out, a dark elven male smiling at him as he sat across from him with a cheeky smile.

“Pleasure to meet with you, I hope you do not mind. It’s rather lonely to sit by yourself, my friend?”

Nathan looked at the man for a moment, eyes looking him over as he took a moment to think about the offer. It was clear this man had some business with him; he just needed to figure out why.

“My name is Denoth; I’m a trader by heart and an actual trader in Sengi Underway.”

Nathan raised his eyebrow as he heard this, he was heading to the underway and eventually he had to start a trading contract with them.

“That is very interesting. I’m Nathan, and I’m from a new settlement called Sanctuary down south.”

Denoth’s smile seemed to grow as he picked up a menu, looking over the choices as he looked around, only seeing bowing vampires as he sighed. “What is up with these ladies, so odd.”

He whispered this before putting down the menu, turning back to Nathan with the smile plastered over his mouth.

“Oh, you are the caravan leader then, I spoke to several beautiful ladies on the trip here to the manor. I heard you have some exciting items to sell.”

Nathan listened as his eyes moved to one of the women bowing, as his eyes connected with her, the woman instantly stood and walked over as if commanded by just a gaze.

“Oh service finally, that is excellent.”

Denoth pulled the menu back up as he started to gaze through the options. “I’ll have the steamed eggs, sausage and bacon with the sauce you guys make especially please.”

Denoth finished his order as he looked over to Nathan who shook his head to the woman.

“I’m fine for now. Thank you.”

The woman left without another word as she bowed her head in respect to the man before fleeing to complete the order.

“May I ask Nathan what items you are willing to trade so that we can make a good bargain with you?”

Nathan shook his head as he looked the man straight in the eyes. “It’s not that I’m looking to do just a trade now but an ongoing trade. I have so much food, water and wood that I’m trading for the future. We need everything the Sengi Underway produces and from my knowledge you need everything we produce.”

“So what I am going to offer you will be something closer to a monopoly as you will be the one I trust for this I will need something in return.”

Denoth’s face turned from his usual happy smiling self to a frown as he leaned back against his chair.

“I can tell you are not a merchant by trade then, that offer is far too good to be true, how can you even enforce that?”

Denoth let out a sigh as he leaned further back in his chair, his hopes dashed.

“Let’s say that the path to get to our location is very hard; I can provide a way for instant access to and from our site and as long as you can provide all the materials we need. Then you are more than welcome to sell the goods you get from us, and we will not say anything to anyone else.”

Denoth listened before shaking his head.

“But what about everyone else in your area, will they agree to such a thing?”

Nathan listened as he was starting to get bored of this conversation, it was clear the man did not trust him and he had to prove his worth before he gained anything.

“I think I can prove to you our worth with ease. I’ll show you after lunch.”

Nathan let out a soft smile as he stared at him.

“I hope you dont get sick easily.”
