Chapter 203: Calling Dracula
Everything turned black. There was no sound and nothing else.
It lasted for what seed like an eternity before Ryder was able to feel his hands and legs.
He opened his eyes, which were blurry initially, but they soon beca clear as he saw the roof.
He looked to his left and noticed the familiar table.
"I’m back in my room? Is this a ga over? Why wasn’t there an announcent of that?" Ryder muttered as he sat up.
He picked up his phone that was lying on the table and looked at the ti.
"What the heck? I’m in the past?" Ryder exclaid as he frowned.
"That shouldn’t be possible unless I died, and even then, I should be healed instantly because of the Nature Healing!" Ryder let out as he got off the bed.
"Janus, can you explain? Did this freaking ga again kill in real life mysteriously?" Ryder said with an annoyed look on his face as he looked at his chest that seed perfectly fine, but it was sowhat itchy.
He took off the shirt and saw a strange black-winged creature mark on his chest. The Mark was disappearing slowly as if it was being wiped. He felt a burning sensation as well, but that was not too painful.
"Janus, Answer ," Ryder inquired again.
[Ding... A main-mission has been issued to the main host]
[Have the Vampire King thank you without telling a single lie]
[Rewards for completion: Good relationship with the Vampire Clan]
[Reward for completion: 200 Origin Points]
[Punishnt for failure: You will be stuck in an infinite ti loop]
[Ti limit: Unlimited]
[Note: Until the mission is completed, you will stay in the ti loop]
Ryder just stood there blankly as he looked at the empty air before him.
"The heck is with this. You’re not answering , and now I’m in a ti loop? I thought we were cool. Why are you fuckin again?" Ryder wanted to cry, but no tears ca out.
He understood the aning of the ti loop. It ant that this sa day would keep repeating until he finished the mission, which might take a long ti, considering the fact that he wasn’t supposed to lie.
"How can I even have him thank without lying. I killed his n, and he’s here for fucking revenge. That dude will rip to shreds if I don’t lie. And if I tell a single lie before him, it would probably end up with dying. This is a freaking ss!" Ryder let out as he walked back and forth with a concerned look on his face.
"Was it you who took back in ti to start this quest? My healing should’ve healed over eight tis, at least," Ryder asked again, hoping for an answer from Janus.
[Janus did nothing of that sort. It was because the host’s soul had died. The Bracelet took you back in ti]
Janus answered Ryder in an emotionless tone.
"My soul died? What does that an? It’s a freaking ga. How can my soul die in it! Wait a minute; I think I’m starting to understand," Ryder muttered with a stunned look on his face as if he hadn’t expected this.
[Did you really guess it? I couldn’t tell you anything related to this for certain reasons, but maybe it has started now]
Janus’ voice contained a little bit of hope.
"I do understand everything now. This is not just a ga. This is much more than a ga... this is a crappy ga! It destroys souls! Those fucking bastards released this bugged ga to the public, and the freaking IMC certified it for safety. They are all corrupt! This ga is faulty and not safe at all!" Ryder cursed out loud as he smashed his fist on the wall.
[That...ah... Do the mission, and don’t think too much. One day you might co at the answer]
Even Janus seed stumped for words as he replied.
"Hey, tell more about the ti loop, at least," Ryder let out, but Janus didn’t reply.
Ryder asked again and again, but he didn’t get a reply.
"Should I tell Shu to stop playing it? I can revive, but he can’t. If this ga is really that dangerous, then he might die as well," Ryder muttered as he thought for a while. "He wouldn’t believe though. I can’t just tell him that I died, and that’s why I know."
’I guess I’ll see how it goes. Probably I died because of that Curse thing. I’m already treading in a strange territory in the ga that wasn’t available last ti for players. It might be because I ca in contact with the final boss level Character and died by his hands, which caused this bug for ,’ Ryder thought as he walked back to his bed and sat down.
He could see the pizza box nearby, so it was after he had eaten, but he still felt a little bit hungry. Alice wasn’t ho at this ti, either.
He again ordered a pizza before he started thinking about a way to solve the problem. How could he make the Vampire King to thank him when he was coming there for revenge, all while not telling a single lie.
"Well, I don’t have anything. Not a single idea. It seems impossible!" Ryder held his head after he couldn’t co to an answer even after thinking for a long ti.
"Should I call soone from the deity phone that can help talk to Mythical People? The last ti I got advice from the bread boy, that was good. I can talk to soone good this ti that would have an expertise in this field," Ryder muttered.
He ultimately decided on doing it since he didn’t have a better idea.
Ryder brought out the deity phone and used so origin points to credit it before he started going through contacts.
"There it is. I can call Dracula. He seems like soone who can give an accurate answer. He was also a Vampire according to the myths. He was pretty powerful too. He should be the best person to talk to," Ryder muttered as he looked at the na of Dracula.
Ryder tapped on the call icon.
His call was connected, and Ryder was able to hear the caller tune, but he instantly got the phone away from his ears since the caller tune seed like it was the sound of thousands of bats screaming.
"What do you want?"
Ryder heard a heavy voice from the other side. He instantly brought the phone close to his ears.
"Hey, Am I speaking to Dracula?" Ryder inquired.
He had never imagined that he would ever say this line in his lifeti, but since Ryder had t Janus, all of the weird things were happening.
"Yeah, what do you want? Hurry, I don’t have all day to waste on the phone," Dracula said.
"Right. I had a problem, and I was hoping that you can help find an answer," Ryder started explaining.
"So, there’s a powerful Vampire. He’s like the king of Vampires in this land. I entered his land sneakily to take sothing that belongs to . His General found us, and I had to kill him. Now the Vampire King has found out blood there, and he has linked the killers to our kingdom. He is on our way here for revenge. I don’t want there to be a fight between our kingdoms. I also need him to thank , but I can’t tell a single lie. What is the best way to solve this problem, according to you?" Ryder inquired in a serious tone.
"Simple. Have soone shoot a Garlic Arrow in his chest. Go there while he’s weak, acting like a passer-by. Take the arrow off. He’ll probably thank you. You won’t have to say anything," Dracula replied without taking even a second to think about it.
"That’s a good idea, but I’m not sure if garlic is effective on him. He’s a different kind of Vampire that isn’t hurt by garlic," Ryder replied.
"Strange. Alright then. When he’s resting inside a building during the day, have that building destroyed. He will be hurt by sunlight. Give him an umbrella to save him while his skin is burning, and he’ll thank you," Dracula again replied casually.
"You’re definitely joking. Are you sure that you’re the real Dracula? It’s not a scam by Janus, is it?" Ryder asked with a suspicious look on his face.
The Dracula he heard about was a serious entity who was the most fierce, but the guy he was talking to sounded like he was a troller.
"Look, kid. I’m not going to show you my id card here. It’s your choice if you want to believe or not," Dracula let out in an annoyed tone.
"Alright, forget what I said. Also, he isn’t affected by sunlight either. Can you tell of a different plan?" Ryder inquired as he shook his head.
