The Game Rune System - Chapter 76
It would take some time before Big Mom’s daughter arrived here in this area. Wouldn’t it be suspicious if she appeared after one day of zealous games between vampires and mercenaries!
It certainly would be weird for the game masters.
The MOBA GAME needed more fame and with how mysterious it had been, Tetsuya knew that mercenaries would do a good job by spreading the news!
He entered the city like any other newbie mercenary, then went to his house.
“A few days, at most two weeks,” Tetsuya uttered, “By this time, we will have a lot of strong people play the game, so let’s shape up.”
Tetsuya greeted Rainbow Adventurers who had already heard some rumors about the game, then entered his own room.
The MOBA GAME, even though it happened for one day, already provided Tetsuya with various rewards that would make many people drool over them.
The most important thing was that his demon bloodline strengthened naturally.
Any demon would like to see its victims getting bullied through their own power.
In Tetsuya’s case, he had Playful Demon’s bloodline, so it took joy to see people getting outplayed, used in a playful manner and so on.
The MOBA GAME also had a lot of resources, but it rewarded the game masters heftily.
Not only did Tetsuya get stronger as a playful demon’s descendant, he also got a lot of runes to analyze through.
The most important runes belonged to vampires and mercenaries.
Mainly the two mercenaries that were the leader and the healer. Those runes benefited Tetsuya the most as he could strengthen himself and gain some new experience with the swordsmanship while the healer was naturally needed for his players and his potions as well.
The Vampire had two types of runes described within his game system, Raw Blood and Royal Darkness.
The latter was probably because Evelyn was a lady belonging to royalty. She really had that demeanor and noble aura, so it wasn’t a surprise.
Tetsuya began to analyze all those runes while preparing for tomorrow’s games.
“Oh, Blood Wine… This sounds tasty,” He laughed during vampire runes analyzing.

While Tetsuya was busily doing his tasks to not disappoint any new gamers, the first gamers had been running through Bende City without even being able to catch the breath.
They needed to pass this message to the nobility as soon as possible!
Their rank was also high, so no way the nobles wouldn’t listen to them!
Cedra, the leader, soon appeared before the noble’s territory.
As one would have guessed already, the guards were here and their eyes immediately pierced through sweaty and shabby adventurers.
Even if those had high quality equipment for such class as mercenaries, their appearances were like refugees who had been doing their utmost best to run away!
The guards didn’t like that and raised their swords, “Run somewhere else, you fools!” Their swords let out sharp aura, but Cedra immediately waved his hands!
“We have an important message to Noble Hunu!” He shouted, “Call his butlers or someone important! I don’t care! We must pass this message!” It didn’t seem like the money was important here, but Cedra would still bargain for a little.
That was the mercenary’s way!
They needed to profit through everything, even a little information!
However, this information was so huge that Cedra just felt right for thinking like that!
The guards just glanced at each other, then one of them turned around, “Fine, don’t you dare to move away now,” He threatened, as calling the important people for nothing would make him dead, then went to the noble’s house.
A suspense soon unfolded before the mercenaries and noble’s people.
They waited for the guard to return impatiently, some hitting the ground with their boots.
However, the mercenaries didn’t have to wait for too long as after fifteen minutes, the eldery man in black suit appeared before them!
The guard respectfully stood behind him, but it was just a butler.
Even if he was a butler, his words had a lot of meaning here and so mercenaries’ faces lit up.
They stood up and greeted him, “Sorry for troubling you! We have too valuable information to pass to Noble Hunu!” Cedra was the one who shouted the loudest.
He got carefully analyzed by butler’s eyes, “How much?”
Of course, the butler knew how people in the wilderness moved.
In desperate times, mercenaries would even make a valuation out of their breath! They were such people.
“A few gold coins! We will be content with just ten!” Cedra threw astronomical numbers that made even guards’ thick faces to twitch.
If they were like that, then the butler’s face could be easily imagined. His features distorted so much that he wanted to punch those mercenaries.
However, Cedra quickly continued, “New race… We found new race whose beauty would satisfy and the most prickly womanizers,” Cedra threw the bomb.
The fact that the new race had been found by them was suspicious, but Noble Hunu liked women from various circles. His harem was filled with various women and each was unique on its own.
There was only one human woman in this harem as he liked variety so much!
“We know how to beat them! We know a way to make them down!” Cedra continued to convince the butler, then the old man took a faint and small rune.
This rune could tell people’s lies and its light told the old man that Cedra had not been lying at all.
“Follow me,” He said it out loud, then the mercenaries entered the noble’s house.
They weren’t scared of dying or suddenly getting assassinated here as a lot of people had seen them standing before the noble’s house.
The rumors would easily spread if they died and no mercenary would work with Noble Hunu which would be a huge blunder by his people.
That was why they just followed with huge expectations written on their faces.
Soon enough, the butler guided the mercenaries to the room that was not so grand, but still comfy to be in.
This room was prepared for such occasions where the noble, from higher social ladder, and people from the bottom ladder would meet up.
The butler took one side while the mercenaries sat in the row on the other.
“This is five gold. I will pass the rest if your information turns out to be satisfying,” The butler threw five gold coins out of his pocket, then urged the mercenaries to speak.
Cedra took that job as the leader and immediately called what he learned by fighting with the bloodsuckers, “They are vampires!”
He immediately connected to the weird movement of the birds, “We have already confirmed that those bloodsucking birds are under their control! They used blood and some powerful red aura to fight!”
“Vampires…” The butler raised his hand, then the book flew towards his hand! He began to use some kind of technique as the pages flipped really fast.
He then told Cedra to continue, “Don’t mind me.”
“Y-yes… So we are sure that those vampires had been preparing something with their blood techniques! They must have set up this game as they were just dominating here! You don’t die in this game, but just fight and fight! We lost a lot of blood, so we have assumed that this is how they gather blood! By constantly fighting us!”
Cedra explained the game rules and that this was fair game despite the creators on the other side.
He told what he learned and even explained that one could get some more levels faster on other lanes! It was kinda true, but also false though!
Soon, he spoke about Royal Darkness, “That royal woman… She was really sexy… and powerful. With her wings and darkness around her, she was like the queen! A woman worthy of Noble Hunu!”
“This old record says that vampires have been dealing with uncontrollable darkness… and even had a full continent swallowed by it,” The butler commented, his eyes on the book.
“Eh?” Cedra exclaimed in a weird voice, his eyes blinking nonstop.
He soon began to tremble and the same went for his friends that had been listening to the conversation all this time.
This sounded… too amazing and frightening!
–
Another day rose up!
Tetsuya also rose from the bed before anyone else!
He left a message to his Rainbow Adventurers to get one more mercenary with them and go to the birds’ forest to hunt!
He passed a message and spoke about the rumors that were already shrouding Bende City!
Tetsuya quickly left the house and went to the forest where his game master seat waited for him!
But on his way here, Tetsuya spotted a lot of people in shiny armors going forward!
There was one handsome noble sitting on the carriage like a king, his eyes looking forward to the game and the vampires’ beauty!
Tetsuya smiled, “Nice… Loyalty Rune is a powerful rune, so I as well might analyze it more… And is it an ax I see here? Haha~~” His mood immediately skyrocketed.
