A shady Vampire
W-Whats going on? Grays voice ca out as an echo, his vision clouded by an inky black veil. A choir of whispers flooded his ears before quickly going silent, for the first ti in a while his mind was truly quiet and he no longer felt the burden of the specters that were constantly eating away at him. But that was short-lived, the specters ca rushing back, pushing his thoughts back to a corner of his mind.
When his vision finally cleared up, Laylas body was gone and the faint taste of blood remained in his mouth. Feeling confused he quickly dressed before creating a blood katana in his right hand.
{Whats going on here? What did that girl do to ?} wondered Gray as he walked towards the door. His instincts were on high alert, feeling sowhat stupid for letting himself get into such a situation.
{Did she cast a spell? But I dont feel anything off with my body.} As Gray thought this he clenched his fists.
{Ahh, my status window.}
Gray opened up his New Vautis Visual System nu before selecting the [Player stats] tab.

{What?} The question marks seed to be glitches in the system as they were constantly changing values even as he looked at them. Of course, Gray could discern that one of the unnad abilities mustve been the mist he let out during his fight with the Cimrian Shade but he couldnt recall any other skill that would show up as a glitch.
{Demon, do you know anything?} After carefully thinking about it for a mont, he turned to the only person who he thought would know sothing, but no one answered. Actually, it was as if Gray couldnt feel the demons presence in his mind anymore, all that was there were the specters writhing about.
{The vermin is gone.} Gray quickly turned around, his eyes doing a quick sweep of the room to check where the voice was coming from, but he quickly realized that the voice sounded familiar.
Layla? asked Gray, however he didnt let his guard down, if anything he was almost certain that he had been pulled into so sche.
{Not Layla,} it replied, using Laylas voice once again.
Magic? How are you doing this? Gray kept turning around the room, as if checking to see from which corner the voice was coming from.
{The door.} With that single phrase Gray turned to look at the door. The word DANGER was written across it in what looked to be black ssy-ink. Gray took a few steps away from the door before blinking his eyes as if in disbelief.
After standing there silently for several more seconds the door barged open, and a white-haired figure wearing a white mask and a white cloak appeared. Behind her were several dark elves wearing purple cloaks, Gray recognized them as the group that had been eyeing him when he first entered the tavern.
I knew it, we were too late, said the white-haired figure before disappearing.
Where did you hide her body? asked the figure from behind Gray, already searching the room.
{F-Fast.} Cold sweat ran down Grays back, without a doubt those were the only words he could use to describe what had just happened. He didnt even register that the figure was behind him before it said anything.
Answer , ordered the figure before stopping its search. The dark elves walked into the room and closed the door behind them. They seed larger than the usual, standing at least 2 ters tall, all of them towering over him. They reminded him of the amazonian woman he had seen in the online ga he would usually play.
Gray tightened the grip on his sword before relaxing.
{Theres no way Ill win here,} he decided. All he knew was that the white figure was faster than he could ever hope to reach even in his Bloodlust Mode, and for all he knew it might still be the weakest among them.
I dont understand your question, replied Gray, trying to find out what exactly was going on.
I saw you walk in with an el- never mind, where are your travel docunts? Does the vampire council know you are here? asked the figure before removing their mask. Behind it was a beautiful pale face, but besides her beauty what really captured Grays attention were her crimson red eyes.
Vampire?
Yes, speak quickly. The woman put her porcelain white mask on the table before walking towards Gray. She was perhaps 1.6 ters tall, fairly shorter than him, but he couldnt help but feel that she had the sa towering presence as the elves surrounding him.
Just like I thought, a stray vampire. And it seems youve been pulling this trick for a while now since you absolutely reek of blood, said the woman before sniffing Grays suit, her eyes shone a brilliant red before she bore her fangs.
And that blade, a blood weapon? How did you get that? Blood manipulation? A noble? Too many things dont add up, and why are you wearing an Orc ranger suit?
The questions ca like rapid-fire, Gray couldnt even hope to answer them since they ca with almost no context.
{Stray vampire? Noble?}
There seems to be a misunderstanding here, replied Gray, taking a few steps away from the hungry-looking vampire.
The vampire seed to pick this up and hid her fangs before turning to one of the elves.
Were taking him to headquarters, if the capital finds out that there is a vampire slaughtering elven citizens we could be looking at a few minor scuffles between Elden and Tikal, with those words the vampire swung her arm, aiming to strike Gray in the neck.
Gray tried blocking but the attack was just too fast, an electrifying pain traveled from his neck all the way down to his feet. Although he was still standing, it was just barely.
Hes still standing? asked the vampire as if truly curious before turning around to face the window behind her. A split second later a bullet ca whizzing through it, heading right for her head, however, as if it were moving in slow motion, she caught it.
She disappeared from the room, before reappearing with an unconscious Tesse in her right arm, while the black cub was in her left.
Friends of yours? with those words the vampire appeared in front of Gray and hit him in the neck again.
{Sleep, these enemies are too powerful for us now,} said the voice in Grays head as his vision went dark.

[System Information]
Drow Elves
Once a minority of the elven tribes, they are now thought to be extinct. Due to their natural shapeshifting abilities as well as their attunent to the dark aspects of nature, they were seen as demons by the rest of the elven community and as valuable lab subjects to the rest of rrum.
The last remaining remnants of the dying tribe reside deep within the [Great Forest] using their relationship with nature to protect themselves from the outside world. A few rumors have been circulating around Elden that the 12 knights are indeed from this race, however, such rumors are quickly snuffed and those who voice them disappear along with them.
