[You are now well-fed. Your insanity fades.]
Riven regained his sanity an hour later, with the fuzzy details beginning to outline themselves now that he was in a right state of mind. He rapidly blinked and furrowed his brows, finding himself wrist-deep in Ben’s intestines. Once he realized what he was doing, he began to backpedal and scream. It was a scream not filled with the primal rage or hunger he’d experienced before, but now it was that of horror at what he’d done—a scream of disgust and revulsion. He began to hyperventilate and stumbled backward away from the corpse, not knowing how or why he’d co to do this until mories of his primal hunger flooded back into his mind as one mory after the other.
The pleading, crying last monts of the man Riven had known for less than half an hour ca pouring in.
Riven gagged and vomited profusely, feeling sick with himself and incredibly confused. The notifications he’d received when his vampiric bloodline had been awakened had co so fast and the change had been so sudden that he’d had no ti to really comprehend what it’d all ant up until now. He managed to calm down after that and remained staring at the floor between his knees in a hunched-over position amid a mountain of body parts while he took ti to reflect upon the day’s events.
[You are now able to exit your tutorial dungeon and proceed to the starter area, where you will pick your starting destination and be provided details of what Elysium has in store for you. In order to do so, please focus on the command Exit Dungeon to summon a stair portal to your location.]
The two chests of Elysium coins were still there. Five of the torches had been blown out or extinguished during the fight, so the lighting in the room was far The monetary system here was very straightforward, from what Athela had told him in her brief lecture of Elysium economics, and the system had done a good job of integrating the currency and making system altars the basis of most prices—sotis even being on the higher end of things if people wanted to be competitive. It often was able to stabilize inflation this way. Of course, rarer items often didn’t appear in the Elysium altar shops, and one had to look elsewhere for them. Often the system altars were completely random or sotis even had unique selections based on the specific altar, refreshing every month with a new set of inventory. He’d also gathered that one copper piece was worth slightly less than one US dollar when comparing altar prices on foodstuffs to those at a local grocery store back ho… Ten copper pieces equaled a silver piece, ten silver pieces equaled a gold piece, and ten gold pieces equaled a platinum piece, aning that one platinum coin was worth about nine hundred to one thousand US dollars in comparison to old-world money, and then there were a few other types of coins above that, which Riven likely wouldn’t see for a very, very long ti, if ever.
But Riven wasn’t quite sure this was still the case, as Athela hadn’t gone into much detail during her brief overview, and he quickly decided that he was going to play dumb here and act like he simply didn’t know. He’d press the dungeon for information and see what he could find out.
So Riven nodded. “Sure. What’s your deal? Let’s hear it.”
