8 Returning Back To The Village!

After opening the character window, he read through it line by line; only stopping when his eyes landed on his title. His eyebrows furrowed and he thought, "What is even the purpose of the title, is it just cosmetic like in the other MMOs?" He extended his hand and tapped the title gently, not expecting anything to happen as he thought that the text was not interactive, but against his expectations, a window opened.

He blinked his eyes and smiled. "So titles are not simply cosmetic but they also have rewards associated with them. Nice! I like it!" he thought and then tapped the close button. The title window closed and the character window was once again before his eyes. "I wonder if everything is interactive in this window?" he thought before starting to tap everything he could lay his eyes on.

The first one being his items. He tapped on the first item he laid his eyes on. The item – . Tapping on it, he was given four options and out of the four, the third one was greyed out as it was unavailable.

"Hmm," Dro hummed then tapped the close button which once again returned the character window back to his eyes. He tapped on the other items that he had equipped but even as he did, the same results followed – he was given the same options each time. He already guessed that the same results would follow but he still did so just to make sure that everything was indeed the same across all his item slots. After all, it was best not to assume as you may never know what you may find at the end of the route before walking through it.

After the items, he tapped on his name, class and race but in each case, nothing happened but when he then tapped on his level and unlike three earlier cases, a window opened.

"There is already a bar for my experience in the HUD, why did they add it the character window as well?" he thought as he tilted his head in confusion and closed the window.

The next one was the title but he didn't tap it as he already knew that it summoned the title window. Instead of the title, he taped on health – .

"So I get 30 health for every Vitality point, that's good to know," he thought then closed the window and tapped on the first stat – Strength. But even as he tapped on the first one, the explanation for all of them appeared.

After closing the stats window, he continued clicking on each stat, he did so for the same reason he tapped on each of his items. He wanted to make sure that all of them, had the same explanation.

After closing the window he once again looked at the character window and saw that he arrived at the skills. He scanned through the skills with his eyes.

After reading through each skill's description, he tried tapping on them, one by one but nothing happened – no window opened. Dro nodded and thought, "That's all it seems." He dismissed the character window and looked at the town ahead. He looked at it for a short moment before departing towards it.

Once he entered the village, he first glanced at the minimap and saw that now there were two exclamation marks, one orange and one yellow. "So there is one normal quest and one hidden quest, I should first go and take the normal one," he thought before walking towards the yellow exclamation marker.

In just a few moments, Dro saw a man who had a yellow exclamation marker above his head. The man looked plain compared to the counts yet alone Riku or even Erylis. The man didn't wear a cloak, or fancy looking clothing, the clothes he wore, looked plain and simple. It was clear that this Vampire had a really low position in the Vampire society. Well, it was no surprise considering, he was just a villager of Vampire Novice Village.

Once Dro stopped in front of this man, the man immediately kneeled down onto the ground and shouted out, "Your Excellency!"

When the Vampire knelt in front of Dro, a strange feeling of satisfaction rose up within Dro's heart. "Is there something wrong?" he asked.

"Your Excellency, you will help me a lowly villager?"

Dro nodded, "Yes, how can I help?"

"Progenitor it shames me to ask you the Proteginator but please bring me 6 Vampire Bat pelts, these bats are roaming around the village and are not hard to find."

"Very well, I shall do it."

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

After accepting the quest he walked away from this man and walked to the orange quest, the hidden quest. Like before the man that had the orange quest marker was dressed in poor clothes and it was obvious that he had a very low status in the Vampire society.

Dro approached him and the man gave Dro a dumbfounded look. "Progenitor? Here?" he mumbled and looked at Dro with dumbfounded look for a single breath of time before recovering and kneeling down onto the ground. "I apologise for my rudeness, your Excellency… Your Excellency, there is grave news that I must pass onto you. Will you listen? It is very important!"

"What do you need?" Dro asked while grinning inwardly, he really liked that everyone that he talked to knelt to him.

"South of the village there is a cave, and that cave is infested with the filthy mutts, the werewolves. Lord Progenitor, you must slay those mutts!"

Dro nodded, "Alright."

"I wish you a good hunt, Lord Progenitor!"

After accepting the quest, he backed away from the quest giver and thought, "Now there are no more quests, so I should go find the counts and ask about this threat that the village faces." Dro quickly found the Chapel from his memory and he pushed the door open.

Once he stepped inside, he caught a glimpse of five counts as he entered they were all standing proudly but the moment Dro stepped inside, they all immediately kneeled down onto the ground and in loud clear voices said, "We greet the fifth Progenitor!" If one looked at their faces one could that they were all pale and not because of their skin colour but because they were terrified what Dro could do to them if he was feeling vengeful.
