SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 8

Chapter 8: My Lord Blood God

Damon arrived at the city gates in under an hour as he ran non-stop using the very well known shortcut between the small town and the city.

Nieta Falls was one of the smaller cities, and the place wasn't crowded especially because players were yet to descend into the city en masse.

There were several level 5 to 10 beasts littered in the forest surrounding the city and if one did not know a safe path, they would be doomed unless they could handle a few of the beasts. In general, a player at least needed to be at level 10 to get here safely.

This was why Damon was a little surprised when he did not get the first achievement for arriving at the city. But then again, he had already spent two hours with the rabbits and another hour or so finishing up his race change quest. This was plenty of time for someone else to discover the city.

He could spot about a dozen players exploring the city streets as he walked in. Not too many but not too few either. There was one good quest that he wanted to do in this city, which might get snatched up by these players, but the awakening process was still his number one priority.

Damon hurriedly walked straight to the Cathedral of Silent Waters when an arrogant voice sounded behind him. "Where are you going in such a hurry?"

"Hmmm?" Damon turned to see the same three guys who had tried to follow him back in the starting town.

They were easy to recognize, loud, cocky, and wearing the exact same mismatched starter gear as before. The one in front had his nickname proudly displayed over his head in glaring red text: [DaddyBrutal].

"Well, well, if it isn't the Blood God," DaddyBrutal sneered, arms crossed. "You left in a real hurry back there. Got a nice juicy quest? How about you not be a stingy little bitch and share it with the rest of us? This Daddy will reward you well. Look at this." He pulled a woman to his side and winked.

Damon could tell in a single glance that she was a prostitute and the guy was acting as if he was a big deal just because he managed to pay for a prostitute. He gave a flat stare and turned to leave. "I don't talk to idiots."

That got a reaction. The guy's face twisted into an angry scowl, and his buddies behind him [Sniper] and [SirShankzAlot] started muttering "oooohs" like they were still in middle school.

Damon didn't stop walking. He had no time for idiots. Not today. "If you're looking for a fight," he added, not even turning around, "try the forest. Maybe a rabbit will take you seriously."

"Bitch, you are going to regret this. I have connections in this place, I am telling you. Look. I have the first discoverer title.

Damon didn't stop. "Congratulations," he called over his shoulder. "Must've been hard, finding your way here without a GPS and adult supervision."

DaddyBrutal's shout of rage echoed behind him, but Damon was already gone, slipping around the corner and then through a couple of alleyways. He had no interest in indulging these idiots, even though he was mildly curious how they managed to get the first discoverer title for the city.

But then again, it was not a big deal. It gave a single stat point boost, and unless one went about solely discovering all the cities one after the other which was near impossible, the achievement didn't really matter.

As for the nonsense they were spouting, he was way too mature to care about that. Or maybe he was not.

Damon could sense a player following behind him. The trio must have had a fourth stealth player among them who was tailing him now and trying to catch with him. Probably hoping to spy on his movements and steal whatever secrets they thought he had.

PVP was not allowed inside the city, and from the looks of it these guys knew it. They were pretty brazenly following him without worrying about any repercussions. But they missed a key piece of information.

The charm Damon wore around his neck took care of this little detail for him.

Damon slowed down and acted as if he was looking around. Then, just as the player caught up with him, he decisively made his move.

He aimed for the man's throat and swiped his long nails, and in a single second, the guy was sent flying back with a loud, wet crack, slamming against the alley wall like a ragdoll. A gasp escaped from his lips, blood spurting as he dropped dead to the ground.

[Ding! You have killed player [Lurking Panda]. You have gained +1 notoriety.]
