I sit up in my bed and take in my surroundings.
Oh right, I stole that guys room, wonder where he is now?
I got out of bed, onto the hard wooden floor, and put my cloak on.
Hm, that guy's sleeping on the floor. Why's he not got a shirt on, he's going to freeze.
But if that means I can stare at those chiselled abs then I'm all for it.
I wonder if he'll let me have something to eat when he wakes up. I don't want to be forced to go and track down a rabbit or some unlucky deer.
I kick him in the ribs to wake him up.
"Five more minutes."
"No, I'm hungry, and we have some things to discuss."
He grumbles as he opens his eyes and sits up.
"Now then for my first question, let me have some blood."
"That's not a question."
I grab his neck and bite down.
"When did I say you could do that?"
Finishing my meal I pull back.
Delicious.
"I never heard you say no. Anyway, second question, why is a member of the Laconia family in Bulgare? The only time they leave their own territory is to try and curry favour with the king and queen of Graecia."
"I left. I can't use magic so they said I was a disgrace to my name and that if I had any honour I would leave, so I came here."
I cocked my head.
He can't use magic? I should check his stats to be sure.
[Name: Leon Laconia
Race: Human
Level: Null

Dexterity: Null
Intelligence: Null
Luck: Null
Skills: Null
Title's: Null]
He really doesn't have any magic. Without magic the system won't even recognise physical stats or allow for level based improvement. That's insane, that means he got this strong through his own efforts and hard work rather than some power system.
"It's really true, the system really doesn't apply to you."
"Alright now that that's over with I've got a question for you, why is a vampire of Transylvania this far South?"
Well I can't say this wasn't unexpected, We are known for being weak to sunlight, even if that is just a myth.
"I'm here because I ran away from my family. I was too weak to keep up with them, my stats barely reach 200, how pitiful is that? Though I guess you wouldn't know what that means. Vampires have stat averages of 1500. For a royal vampire it's around 15,000. Everybody loved me back home, they didn't look down on me, they treated me as an equal, but still, how could I stay there knowing I'd just be a burden. That's why I changed my name and fled south."
"I can imagine how it feels, especially with people like Dracula and Alucard around who are said to be so powerful death itself fears them."
He's right, vampires are supposed to live the same length of time as a human and yet somehow father and grandfather have each lived for hundreds of years.
"Why did you become an adventurer, surely becoming one of the Spartan warriors would have suited you better."
I look at Leons face to see a child like glint in his eyes.
"I want to be a hero. Someone who protects the weak and fights to bring order and peace. However, I still need money, so I became an adventurer."
I smile, I can't sense any deceit or ulterior motives, it seems he truly just wants to protect people.
"If that's the case, why don't we partner up, I bet we could save twice the amount of people with the two of us."
Leon turned to me with a childlike smile on his face.
"Sure!"
His innocence is so cute. I just wish I could stay in this moment forever.
