My Vampire System novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 The lone worker

Out somewhere in an unknown area, in uncharted territory, a top of the line spaceship could be seen floating in place. One would think there would be a top-level highly coordinated crew on board but left to protect the large ship that could house around two thousand or so soldiers, was a single man.

Or a single young adult, called Peter. It had been a while now since the others had left him to take care of the ship and he could safely say there were no problems. At least with the ship itself, for there was one large problem with himself. It was the fact that he was bored.

There were a few reasons why Peter had been selected as the perfect candidate. The main ones being that he never needed to sleep. If there was ever an enemy coming at any time of the day, he would be able to tell.

His ability to absorb and repay knowledge quickly was another point. Everything when Logan needed to tell him about the control’s of the ship. It had sunken in and only needed to be said once.

He had received no contact in the ship from any of his team-mates. That included Quinn, but he wasn’t too worried. At one point, Peter could feel himself getting stronger, which meant Quinn was getting stronger as well.

However, there was one thing that Peter could do to pass the time while on the ship, and that was playing the VR game, power fighters. There was a gaming room onboard the ship that had a few VR capsules for them to play in. At first, Peter had steered away from playing the game taking his duty seriously.

But during his time in the ship, he didn’t see anything happening. Not a single interesting thing had occurred. It turns out space was pretty boring once you got past all the pretty sights. Especially the part they were in right now.

The large ship was partly still in the Milky Way solar system and they far out from the path that one would have to go to head to the warp stations. The warpstaions was practically a large teleporter that the humans used to move their ships. There were four in total spread far apart from each other, each owned by the big family and the military and Truedream sharing one of them.

This was because the beast planets weren’t located in the same solar system as the one on earth. Although the warp station was no longer heavily manned or controlled by the military or families like it used to be, just like the earth stations. Such a large and powerful looking ship would have brought them a lot of attention, which was why they had chosen to use the smaller ships to arrive at the Crow’s base.

So the area, the large ship and Peter were in, was a dead space located in the Graylash family area but there were no planets nearby, or anything. In the end, he gave in to his temptation and started to play the VR game once more. He wasn’t just planning on playing the game but also improving his skills.

He realised that when he went to the vampire world, he couldn’t rely on his strength and healing ability. There were plenty of vampires who already had that. The place where he lacked was fighting skill.

But there was no Edward to teach him here, so the only thing he could do was watch the skills people used in the game and try to imitate them.

When looking on, he quickly realised his problem. If he didn’t have a traveller ID, he would only be able to face opponents ranked from F to D. Still, he would play the game anyway.

His opponents were less than impressive, most of them were slow, and didn’t really help Peter learn anything. Still, it was the only thing he could do. His one hour soon became two which soon became three, and among the low ranks, he was making a name for himself again.

"ZombieP, he just beats up everyone with his fists, the game says he doesn’t even have any beast armour attachments, how is he so strong?"

"Strength ability, maybe?"

"Nahh, I’ve seen his username before, when I was at the military, this guy, he can heal really fast, that’s why he’s called Zombiep"

A few opponents had injured him and had gotten to witness this, but they still couldn’t figure out how he was beating people so easily. With each match, he played he would get an invitation asking him to join their faction. He would ignore it and continue to play the game.

This time though, when Peter logged out from the game and headed to the main command centre, he could see one of the screens flashing red.

’Damn, did something happen while I was playing the game?’ He rushed over to what looked like a radar screen.

The sensors on the ship had picked up something.

"Display image," Peter said.

The centre section of the glass screen that would usually show the outside space changed showing an image of a small ship that was approaching them.

’Now this is a little interesting. Quinn did say if I couldn’t deal with it then I shouldn’t, but this should be enough, right?’

Now the ship had been seen, Peter couldn’t let them get away. The particles surrounded the cannon’s and the small ship tried to move away, but it was too late. _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}
