Chereads / Rise of The Crimson Empire! / Chapter 4 - Chapter 3

Chapter 4 - Chapter 3

Hi again it's me Iris! Well long story short it's been about 3 months since we last talked. What? That's a long time to just not talk? Well I don't think so and I believe you don't want to have to read a day by day diary right? Yeah? Well then point proven.

Anyways in these last three months I've not done many things other than fight and learn. I've manage to get to level 9 just from killing the local wildlife and by wildlife I mean goblins, horned rabbits, wild boars, and a few deer. I guess I could have gone deeper into the forest but I just want to be on the safe side I guess. Oh and yeah when I got to level 5 I had revived a skill! The skill is a basic skill and unfortunately doesn't have a use for me any more but it's cooking. I received it after I had killed a wild boar and decided to try to cook said boar.

Why have I done that? Well if I was able to cook a good meal I would be able to better connect with the other races is my thought process, I mean you can win anyone over with good cooking. Oh and yeah apparently all my other skills had either been max level or unable to level up as when I got the cooking skill it was level one. Now it's level 7 nearly at the max of ten which I can only assume it may rank up. Well Amy has confirmed my thoughts so I had decided to work on this as well everything else as I didn't have anything else to really do.

Right anyways I have been drinking the blood of everything I had killed which had allowed me to increase all my stats by one so far! So my stats now look like this:

~Excluding the skills and other things~

So that's how it looks now, good right? No? That's all for three months? Well excuuussseee me but you try to not to be cautious in a unknown place that dragons fly about in. No I was not spending most of the time looking for dragons in the sky. Okay maybe a bit but that's not the point! Let's get back on track okay?

Now where was I ah yes well after I got to level 9 I have now decided to travel deeper into the forest before looking for civilisation. Because I have the inventory which opened up at level 5 along side the cooking skill I am able to pack everything up quickly and leave this place behind. Although somewhere deep down I'll miss this place... no maybe not but let's try to have a sentimental moment it feels like the right moment to do.

Right with that over let's move out! To... north? Or south? I've not actually explored that far but from what I can tell both north and south of the forest stretch for many miles. To the west is either an ocean or a huge f*****g lake. And to the east is a load of mountains that almost look like the Himalayan's in a way. So that means I'm not going east or west so let's go north and if it isn't any good then I'll go back and go south. Yeah sounds like a plan.

So with that said I am now heading through the forest north to find new adventure! Well that's what I'm hoping for but I may just end up finding a huge dragon (I hope) that may eat me. But what are the chances of that happening aye? Anyway I'm not rushing to travel through the forest I'm mostly just taking in the environment and the sounds of the forest.

What? You thought I'd get bored of this after three months? Well when you live in a dense concrete forest you'll never bore of the change in scenery. Not only that but the air here is so much cleaner, guess they haven't had the industrial revolution here yet.

With these thoughts of mine I continued to travel north and as a vampire I don't really need to sleep at night so I traveled day through night. Actually I don't have to sleep all that often which is something that's both convenient but also weird, I can't really explain it. Imagine having to do something for more than 20 years of your life and then suddenly stop or at least tone it down a lot. It's weird like I've lost a habit of mine.

But I'm still not going to complain it helps me be a lot more efficient with my time so I'll adapt. I hope.

As I was having this conversation with you, yes you in the red shirt and with the bed hair, a rustle came from just behind me. Turning around a big, and I mean big doggy came out. Alright maybe a wolf but it's just a giant husky to me okay? Any ways this is something I haven't encountered before and is by far a lot stronger than most things I've faced.

The giant dog just snarled at me which is quite rude of it to do so, isn't it? I mean it's like picking a fight where all you do it hurl insults instead of actually fighting. Is this what they mean by all bark but no bite? I guess so as it doesn't seem like the big doggy is going to attack but instead use intimidation tactics. Well guess I'll attack first then.

As I came to the decision I noticed that it wasn't the only one, actually there were about 4 of them including the one in front of me. Looks like I'll have a good workout then, I kinda needed one anyways. Does blood even make you go fat? Well just to be on the safe side I guess.

Quickly I dashed to the closest dog and slashed at its neck with my claws slicing the neck open and having blood spurt onto my face. Without minding it I quickly jumped to the next one and this time bit directly into its neck before sucking it dry. Oh did I mention that bloodsucking can also drain a target in like 4 seconds of biting it, pretty cool right? No? Well I think so.

After I had a meal on the second wolf the other two leaped are me in an attempt to kill the humanoid looking creature that had killed their pack mates. Unfortunately for those two I had just flung the dead wolf at them momentarily stunning the two before quickly piecing their hearts to give a quick death. See I can be merciful, sometimes.

Well anyways after this fight I had actually levelled up to level 10! Hurray! And with that cam a notification 'host congratulations on achieving level 10! Host can now select a main class and the shop has been opened! System suggests that host thinks carefully about the class option before doing anything else'

Wait class? Like a knight class or something? Cool! Well Amy let me see them please.

'Host here are your options:

Vampire knight- Vampire knights mainly focuses on tanking while also being able to dish out a decent amount of damage

Vampire mage- A mage that it well adversed in the magic attributes most suited for a vampire, the dark attribute. Able to completely master the dark element

Vampire ranger- A vampire that has become more familiarised with the bow and is able to hit targets at great distances, also proficient in small arms like daggers

Vampire swordsman- A vampire that has become an expert in wielding the sword and is able to deal good damage but lower defence

~Hidden class unlocked~

Vampire noble- As the only vampire in the world you are able to climb the ranks of the vampire social status. Become more proficient in most things while also improving bloodline to become a vampire noble.

Well... I think it's pretty obvious which class I'm going to pick, no? Of course it's the knight class! I'm joking, I'm joking! Please spare me!

Right joking aside I'll go with the vampire noble, why? Well increase in proficiency of all things and also an increase in bloodline is a major benefit. So without further ado I choose the vampire noble class Amy!

'Host has selected vampire noble class, do you confirm your choice?' Yeah please Amy 'host has confirmed class now implementing, host should be aware of pain due to bloodline improving. Host will experience a slight headache while being implemented with knowledge of your race and also slight body pain due to hosts body becoming more refined.' Wait what? I didn't sign up for th.. AHHHH!!! It HURTS!!! What do you mean slight pain?! It's like I'm being stabbed all over with knives! Help me please!

'Host should try to remain quite as it could attract unwanted attention, in other words stop b******g and get it over with'

I feel that someone just said something incredibly rude but I'm in no shape to either listen or retort. But with this pain I fell like the world is becoming darker and fuzzier. I think I'm about to pass out... yep I... was... righ..t
