Chapter 21 23:Night Creak City
Chapter 21 23:Night Creak City
Unlike the oceanic blue sky, the sky atop the demon world shone with crimson.
Staring at the inky red sky, countless thoughts swirled in my mind as I sat there treating my shoulder by pouring a few drops of potion on it that covered the wound a bit.
A stinging itch made my shoulder quiver a bit, but it was acceptable. Looking down at dried cold corpses, I wondered.
"Am I feeling numb because I lost my emotion, or is it because my mind has subconsciously gotten used to this?"
This seemingly unimportant question holds great importance that might decide my future path.
"Haa! This game world is countless times more complex in real time. With the way things are going on, I might forget important things. Thankfully, I had prepared a note... Wait a minute?"
"What was my previous name?"
The moment I muttered this, a chilling unsettling feeling washed over me.
I tried to remember my mom and dad's names, but except for their images, I couldn't remember much.
"This..."
Beads of sweat formed on my forehead as I realized that I had not only forgotten my name but also my friends. The image of my previous life was like a blurry landscape stretching into darkness.
"Let's... calm down. Maybe it's because of 17 years of solitude that led to this distorted memory. However, I remember the game details quite well."
I rubbed my chin and then sighed.
The trial clearly said you would lose something, and the moment I was burnt by the darkness flames, I felt something was being stripped from me.
I didn't know what specifically happened there in the game, but the one who originally inherited the class was one of the major villains revealed later.
He was truly a tough nemesis that led to a few sacrifices in the main cast.
"Whatever! It's not a big deal as I have already written down important things."
"Then, I should hurry and try my luck with finding the major antagonist and see if I can use him."
With this thought, I wrapped up my things and looted the corpses.
"Hmm! What's this?" I muttered, finding a small vial containing a dark liquid from the Dark Magus.
Except for that, I found seven 100 Crypt notes combined and a few miscellaneous items. I even found a shadow pouch from the cloak of Krus.
"Shadow pouch... that's a good find."
The shadow pouch is a novice-rank artifact that, when you die in a dark place, becomes one with your shadow. Except for you, no one can find it when they search your body.
Then, opening the map, I located my destination and cracked my neck.
"Enough warm-up... it's time the shit gets real."
.......
"No, don't listen to her. She doesn't shake her hips well like me."
"Hey, wait... wait..." One of the succubi extended her hand to touch me, but I tilted my shoulder to dodge, causing her to stumble.
"KYAA!"
She gasped heavily as she slipped on the floor and then started crying.
"Uwuwuw... this man hurt me..."
"What? This sick bastard dared to harm one of us?"
"Hey, hold him!"
The situation became tense as, hearing the succubus's scream, the incubi ran towards me with annoyed expressions and grabbed my collar. I stared at him blankly.
"Bastard, how dare you hurt one of ours?"
"If you don't want to die, pay up!"
"Pay... pay for what?" I asked, clearly shocked by this idiotic behavior.
What is this?
Pro max method of scamming?
"Uwuwuw... I'm hurt and broke my ankle because you pushed me. You need to give me money to get treated."
"Yeah, just give her 2000 Crypts."
"WHATTT?" I shouted.
"2000... my ass! A beginner healing potion costs just a mere 100 Crypts, and I didn't even touch her."
"Pay up or get beaten. Do you think you can take us on alone?" the incubus shouted and then whispered into my ears.
"I don't care if you're innocent or not, just pay up or else..."
His voice became quite seductive, and I saw his eyes glowing. Clearly, he was using his skills to break my mind.
I looked at him and the crowd of prostitutes surrounding him.
There didn't seem to be any law here, nor was anyone coming to interfere... No, wait a minute. Something is wrong.
Something is wrong.
Did they create such a farce to loot me?
Damn! Didn't that mean I needed to get serious?
