My Vampire System novel Chapter 274

Chapter 274 The return of a legend Part 1

Inside the dimly lit room, with the torches of flames flickering. The man stood there wondering about why would anyone choose to take the ring? Out of all the items that he had left behind, it seemed strange. Any experienced vampire at first glance could tell that it was the weakest of the items that had been left and even the least valuable.

’Maybe it had been a mistake.’ The man thought. Whatever it was, for now, the man was thankful for he needed a new set of clothing. Once he changed and found the person who had woken him up. He would allow whoever had the ring to exchange it for something else he thought.

He then walked over to the other five podiums that were covered in the strange metal casing. As he placed his fingertips on the cold outside, in an instant, they seemed to react and started to vibrate.

Each one of them went back into the ground revealing the pieces of armour that were once thier. After strapping all the armour on, he was no longer naked. Although through the gaps between certain parts, bare white skin could still be seen, as he was still wearing nothing underneath.

The helmet allowed for most of his face to be seen. It had two spiralling red horns on the top, with a thin piece of metal that went down to the nose.

"This will have to do, for now, let’s just hope I wasn’t woken up in the middle of a war. Perhaps that’s why the person had left in a hurry after waking me up." The man thought.

He continued to go down the spiralling staircase, but he found everything a bit strange. If war really was going on, why wasn’t he hearing anything outside? Soon though he had his answer.

When stepping outside, he had expected one of two things. A parade of people to be there to welcome him back or a big fight to be taking place. But he saw neither of those things. Instead, all that was left was an abandoned town.

When stepping out, he could feel that there was no sign of any others like him in the area, just beasts. He didn’t give up, though.

"Maybe my senses have yet to wake up." He told himself as he continued to look around at the buildings nearby. He searched and searched, but there was nothing. A few beasts that sensed he was near scurried away not wanting anything to do with the new presence.

Finally, he came across something that looked a little interesting. It was a strange human-sized beast that looked like it had been killed not too long ago. The reason why he found it interesting though was because he could sense strange energy from it similar to his own.

"Now why would a blood crystal have been left behind with a beast." Seeing this, and feeling the same energy of the beast. He started to think maybe his awakening was an accident.

Somehow the blood crystal he had left behind with one of his family members had ended up in the hands of this beast. From the looks of the area it had been abandoned long ago, but he still had no clue how long he had been asleep for.

It was quite possible that someone had killed the beast, taken the crystal and then entered the tower unaware of everything that was happening. That would also explain why they would choose to take the ring if they had no clue what the other items did.

"Perhaps my stinginess paid off in the end." He said, laughing to himself. Before going into eternal sleep, his closest aid, Steven, had asked him to leave behind certain treasures.

They had also asked him to set up trials in the tower, but the man was too lazy for that. When picking out items, he chose the ones that he felt were the easiest to replace.

Steven was confused by his actions. If he was going into eternal sleep anyway, it would be best to leave his best equipment for those of the next generation but once a cheapskate always a cheapskate. It was impossible for Steven to change his nature.

Thinking back at how it might be possible, there was also the chance that someone not a part of his family or a different species had obtained the blood crystal. He was now glad he didn’t leave out powerful items. Otherwise, it could have caused trouble for the outside.

"Well, no use thinking about it now." The man said as he stretched his arms. "Before I choose to go back to sleep, I’m quite curious about what happened to everyone here, and I guess there’s only one way to find out."

The man continued to walk out of the town into the tunnels. The sword was now wrapped around his back, using the chains to hold it onto his chest piece of armour. It seemed like he had picked a tunnel at random when walking. Still, after choosing one path, it carried on for a while until eventually sunlight could be seen at the end.

A step was taken out of the tunnel and into the sunlight. The man was surrounded by jungle nature and the rays of sunlight shot through the trees and leaves. They were touching both the skin on his hands and the open area on his face. However, unlike with Quinn and Fex, there was no reaction for the man.

"My skin’s a little itchy, it would have been nice to have that ring. Otherwise, I might develop a rash of some sort." He complained as he scratched the front of his hand.

"Ahhhh!" A scream was suddenly heard coming from his right. Immediately, without thinking about it, he started to dash in the direction of the scream. Moving at an incredible speed, he was able to manoeuvre around avoiding the trees and hitting away the branches and vines that would block his path.

Eventually, he could see a little girl just by a river, but she wasn’t alone. A large snake, nearly four times the size of the girl, was up on its body with its head held high looking at her. The girl tried to back away, but there was nowhere left for her to go, as the river was behind her and the large black snake in front.

The snake dashed forward with its head leading forward. With nothing else to do, the girl closed her eyes and screamed once more as she felt like her life was over.
