Everything around went white. Like a flash bang it temporarily blinded .
Blinking a few tis I suddenly heard distant noises.
When my vision was back I found myself in a room engraved in various gold symbols and other decorations.
The room itself had many paintings seemingly covering every wall leaving only the door and a window uncovered.
The moon light was seeping through the window seemingly trying to enter the room.
In the middle of the room, in a huge spacious bed a middle-aged man was sleeping. So of his hair were grey and his face was full of wrinkles, nevertheless he was handso.
Like a ghost I was at the right corner of the room, levitating, with no ability to move.
Looking down at my body, I was transparent, I could still see the rough shape of my arms, but I was barely visible.
Gazing around the room I noticed the door open with a quiet creaking sound, of course, since it was in the middle of the night the sound was implented a few tis.
' Even the ga follows the universe's laws '
I tried to shake my head.
Tap...
Soon a dark silhouette entered the room. His huge fra was that of a well trained soldier.
With a dark mask on his face he quietly looked around the room searching for anything hidden.
Coming closer to the sleeping man, he removed one of his gloves.
The palm of his hand was completely black, it could be called rotten.
Unsheathing his sword the man cut his wrist off letting the dark blood seep into the mattress. His yellow eyes were glowing in the dark room giving him an eerie look.
Even after cutting the wrist he didn't even flinch. It seed as if the pain was an everyday occurrence to him.
Even I who was watching this felt shivers run down my back.
Suddenly the middle aged man's eyes opened wide and he swung his sword that previously wasn't in his hand.
Whoosh...
The sword pierced through the invaders neck beheading him instantly and splashing more blood on the man and the bed.
Cough... Cough...
The middle-aged man started coughing, he even spat blood. The last thing I heard before I was back at the bridge was soone barging into the room.
" My King! "
~~~~
I was back to my body at the beginning on the bridge.
What I've just witnessed was one of the cut scenes. This cut scene specifically showed the past of how the king beca corrupted.
Ding...
A system ssage popped up.
< Subdue the Corrupted King! >
< Do you want to accept the quest? >
< ACCEPT > | < DECLINE >
Without thinking I pressed the Accept button.
< The Corrupted King Quest Accepted! >
Closing all the ssages I continued to walk on the bridge. After a few minutes I've finally reached the shore where huge gates with guards guarding them stood.
Walking closer I saw one of the soldiers give a look before gesturing to soone on the wall.
Crack...
The gates creaked as they were slowly opened. I couldn't help, but think if the guards let pass if they knew I was a Demon.
Walking through the gates I felt so gazes linger on as, but I just shook my head.
' Guards can't attack without a reason '
Entering the castle I saw a crowd of people forming near a trapdoor with stairs going down.
' The Raid location '
I thought while glancing around for a group. Most of the people I saw were human swordsn.
' I need an item to inspect player Status '
I thought while grumbling. Suddenly I recalled sothing, opening my notes and quickly reading through them.
~ Notes ~
1️⃣ ~ Retrieve Reward from the city Mayor, for defeating 50 golems.
2️⃣ ~ Buy a shit ton of HP potions.
~~~~
Scratching my neck I looked around only to notice a small carriage with a sign ' Potions ' written on it.
' Fuck '
I cursed seeing an Old dude's face appear in the window.
" Hello, how may I help you, good sir? "
The man spoke with a tone seemingly full of joy and excitent.
" Shut the fuck up! "
I hissed through my teeth. The man before was the one responsible for almost making go bankrupt a few tis in my previous life. I couldn't help, but recall an occasion when I was poisoned and ca to his shop to buy a cure. As soon as he heard that I was poisoned the price of the cure doubled leaving to die and drop half of my stuff.
My outrage quite startled the man.
" Sir, please calm down "
The shop owner said while wiping away a drop of sweat.
Well he could say whatever he wanted. I didn't care.
" I need CHEAP healing potion "
I said still gnashing my teeth. If he dares to up the prize even by a little I'll grill him with my flas.
I didn't even notice as between my fingers white flas and Shadow energy were starting to combine together creating a small light show.
The back of the rchant went cold seeing a custor this mad for no reason.
' Psychopath '
He thought while biting his nails. Looking down at my arms he saw so kind of fla and strange dark substance connecting with each other in between my fingers.
" ..How... Much po..tions do you need? "
He struggled to speak, but managed to make a sentence.
" At least 20 "
I said, managing to calm myself down. I was surrounded by dozens of guards able to overpower even a level 10 monster. I couldn't cause a ruckus, especially with so many players, so of them might even have a hero syndro.
With a bitter smile I quickly bought the Potions for a normal prize, 20 Gold coins per Bottle and throwing one last glance to the rchant moved towards the crowd surrounding the trapdoor.
Moving closer and closer I felt soone's hand land on my shoulder.
" Do you want to join our group? "
