Chapter 24 - Vampire?!

"W- what is he?! It is… something like that it is impossible to happen!" She continued running down the stairs.

Ryan bolted out of the infirmary he tried putting his T-shirt on while running down the stairs.

'Huh? Shit, why is he so fast?' She spotted Ryan chasing her. She stopped to take cover behind a pillar.

Without noticing her Ryan ran past her into the long hallway, she took that opportunity to run in the opposite direction.

"Why was I not able to smell that person? They must have seen everything this is bad. Who was that?"

She got her breathing under control. She was hidden behind a wall around in the corner. She stopped there to catch her breath then go back to her room. Report it to a teacher tomorrow or just keep it to herself.

Ryan stopped running after he saw the dead-end of the building. He ran up to the top floor.

"Damn they got away. Just why was not I able to hear that person's footsteps? I didn't even smell them until I noticed them. This has never happened before I sed to hear, smell all kinds of different people even when I didn't want to…."

"Was not he the Ryan?" She thought, "The one who was attacked today? What was he doing…?" She put her hand on her chest.

"I should go back and find who the person was..." Ryan decided to go back to the infirmary. He shuffled down the stairs.

"What did I just witness! It was not an illusion I am sure of it. He took the blood into his body as soon as he did it his scar started to heal. It healed perfectly! There's no way he has a Trait like that..."

"Whoever it was, it was not a teacher cause teacher won't run away like that so it must be a student. If it was someone I know then they would have just asked me what the thing was but they didn't which means it was someone I have not ever met… then who…?" Ryan thought strolling back to the infirmary.

"Blood… healing… at night..." She gasped, "I- is he a vampire?" A wild thought entered her mind.

Ryan reached the infirmary everything was as he left it. He packed things up and went to his bed, it was already late.

"Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait," She was still not clear with her thoughts, "His senses as they say is his Trait are good. Only Vampires have that strong senses, his speed… the way, the speed he chased me was too fast for a human-like Ryan, only Vampires are that fast. He just inserted blood into his body- vampires need blood too; and then his scar started healing- the healing is something only Vampires have!" She took a breath after muttering all this.

"So, he is Ryan who is a vampire, and now I busted his secret! Oh no~ what do I do now? What do I do?! He knows that someone knows his secret if he comes to know that the one is me then for sure he will kill me! What do I do? Tell a teacher? No one will believe such a thing. Vampires? Come on they are just folklores no one will believe me!

This is just absurd why am I stuck in this kind of situation? He might find about me soon. The time he does it, he will hunt me down and kill me, or maybe- eat me up! He must have smelled me he knows how I smell the next time I come in front of him he will suck the blood out of me! This is… the end of my life…"

While she was exaggerating about the situation on the other hand Ryan was trying to get some sleep. The thought of someone seeing him was bothering him.

"I wonder what that person might be thinking right now... Uh! This is not the time to think about such a topic. I need to find who that person was." Ryan rested his hand on his chest while staring at the roof.

"If I tried I might remember that person's smell. I still have it in my nose just once, just only once if I smelled that person nearby I won't let them get away."

He had the smell fixed in his senses. He remembers every person's smell but this one was faint he thought he would barely be able to keep this smell till morning.

"And just what the hell is with my finger!" He snapped out of his calm self, "This hurts since the time I gained consciousness my whole body has calmed down then what is up with you?!" He got up and sat leaning against the wall.

The ring finger was the one that was in pain. Ryan lifted it to observe why it was hurting. The finger was perfectly fine but it was throbbing from inside.

"Heal!" He ordered. But he got no response in return. He was getting irritated because of the throbbing pain in his ring finger.

"This is definitely something else. It is not an injury from my fight the Ring could have healed it already." Ryan decided.

He clenched his fist trying to endure the pain. He opened his fist he held the Ring in his between his fingers he was planning on pulling the Ring out.

"Maybe the Ring is too tight?" he grabbed it, he tried pulling it but it didn't come off. He tried again: A hologram screen appeared in front of his eyes Ryan panicked his head hit the wall behind him.

"Ow..." He rubbed his head, "What is this? Looks the same as the Stat chart they show in games..." he bent forward to touch the screen.

His hand went through it. A blue screen with some letters in green on it. The screen appeared like this:

Blue background and green letters saying:

< New4 >

< Stats >

< Attacks >

< Bloods >

< Quests >

< Settings >

The 'New' option was blinking restlessly with bright green color.

"W-what the hell is this? Is this even save to touch it?" He moved his right finger towards the 'New' block or option. He thought his finger might pass through the screen again but this time- "Ah! I touched it."

After Ryan touched the 'New' block it redirected Ryan to a new tab which appeared something like this:

< Quest 0 >

< Quest 1 >

< Quest 2 >

< Quest 3 >

Ryan was confused, "Aah so this is what the quest thing was about huh" He was about to touch the first block when suddenly he heard the System.

< Quest four appeared: Explore the Ring System >
