Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online
Megaera, NPC Sucks
I turned my gaze towards the sound of the applause coming from. Alert themselves (for the time being), finally his figure began to be seen.
Wearing all-black clothes with a little tattered and a mask? Judging from the way she walked, it seemed like she was a woman, to her height of about 175 cm. Yeah, he's pretty tall.
However, as if not seeing the vigilance I was showing, he kept coming closer.
Refraining from doing the assessment, I asked, “Who are you?”
I was a little impatient, he had interrupted my meal plan. Well, even though it was a rat (in particular its blood), it was still a valuable source of Satiation recovery but there was no way I would eat it in front of others.
Besides, I'm worried about those little rats recovering if I don't kill — or eat right away.
“Heeh .. It looks like you are a bit impatient, a descendant of Vampire.”
“—?!”
“In addition, have not you yourself experienced a drought where?”
I held my breath for a moment. Well, he's right, I've been into a drought condition where. My legs continue to tremble, even to stand upright like this alone is already difficult. But there is something more important than that.
“Yaa, I am indeed a descendant of Vampire,” I replied in a slightly deeper tone. “Although so, how did you know that I am a descendant of Vampire?”
“Hmm?” He looked puzzled, before finally starting to laugh out loud, “Huhuhuhu! This is the young man! Those who have talent but do not even recognize ability.”
He calmed down, sighed softly then finally pointed at me and said, “Your.”
“Aura?”
Is he joking? This is not another world, ‘kan? Wait, technically EFO is a game with its own world setting, so this might not be too wrong, huh?
“Yes, aura. If you don't even know that, I doubt if what I saw before was mere coincidence.”
Result, I still don't understand an inch of what he's saying. He, who seemed to have seen my incomprehension snorted before answering in a mocking tone.
“Yes. Aura, you. That aura is present in every living being in this world. Try to focus your gaze and you will be able to feel the aura more clearly. As long as you know, the aura in the body is unique. Maybe the source is not just one, but, in the end it will all mix into one.”
His index finger raised, as if confirming his words that all were one. However, it seemed that he was not over yet as he lightly shook his index finger, as if denying what he himself had said earlier.
“Although, the aura contained in each person can not mix perfectly. Either way, one form of it will leak out, and the more recognizable the sense of the aura the more difficult it is to mix it with another.”
In the end, the index finger was pointing back at me. “And in you the distinctive aura of a descendant of Vampires wafted. What a disgusting aura! Contains displeasure, the desire to see blood, the thirst for blood. Yes, like the Vampire lineage though not too sharp and much softer, could it be because you are a mixed descendant?”
I flinched for a moment. Could it be because this so-called aura NPC I met earlier attacked me?
However, it seems like he misinterpreted my reaction and muttered, “It seems like it is.”
Let's think about the matter of this aura after logging out. Maybe this is the key to why I was attacked before, for now I have to focus on the person in front of me.
“Alright, I get it,” I said lightly. “Now, after speaking at such length shouldn't you introduce yourself?”
“Do you not have to introduce yourself first before asking others?” tepiss.
Well, he's right so I don't dispute that. Even so, even so, somehow I feel annoyed ...! It's probably the result of him interrupting me while I'm going to eat, huh?
“Then, I'm Dirae. Well, as you might expect, I'm Half Vampire Bloodline, Dhampire Dirae.” Then, I looked at him demanding a reply.
“Because you yourself have introduced yourself, now it seems to be my turn?”
Yeah, I know now that he's really shitty. Not because it interfered with my meal plan.
“Greetings, Dirae. Me is Megaera, the Vows Extinguish.”
Uhh, I was more upset after she introduced herself with a triumphant smile, perhaps. Okay, put this feeling out.
“So, what do you want, Megaera.”
“I'll train you.”
“Hah?”
Did I just hear wrong? What does it mean to coach? Is that really the training I know?
“What exactly is your goal?”
Responding to me, Megaera let out a small voice. Maybe smile behind his mask. “I have some circumstances of my own. From what I see, it seems that help from you is needed even if you are Dhampire, I do not beat it.”
“About what exactly is it?”
“To put it simply, the attraction with magic you showed earlier. However, you are still too weak to help. So, do you want to receive training from me?”
I still have a little doubt if he's telling the truth. Moreover, what I did before was not magic, but just controlling the fog of mana. Even so ...
[Premiering of Megaera
Difficulty: D Rank
Megaera has some needs that need help from you. However, you are still far from enough to be able to help her and she will push you to the limit of the minimum criteria required.
Success Conditions: The total number of Skill levels possessed reached 200.
Failure Conditions: Not reaching the proposed condition within 20 days
Prize : Megaera Favorability +5. Character Descends Card, ‘Megaera’ ×1.
Punishment: Megaera Favorability - 20. The entire level rise of the Skill during the Quest was gone.
*Time count starts from the moment the Quest is accepted, even when the log out count will continue to run]
... Quest's notification rang out, making me want to not believe him. Besides, he turns out to be an NPC, huh. I had guessed it ever since he started talking about aura, but his behavior was really humane —especially in terms of irritating me.
“So are you willing to be under my guidance? Mah, although this will only be a short relationship if you fail.”
“Give me 3 seconds,” I replied to Megaera's words and thought for a moment.
“1 ...”
The success conditions of this Quest were quite strict, the total number of Skill 200 levels within 20 days of game time.
“... 2 ...”
For a basic Skill (Undeveloped Skill), raising it from level 0 to 10 was indeed quite easy, but leveling up from here would be more difficult.
“... 3 ...”
In addition, if I do not meet my own success conditions and fail, then the effort to raise the skill level for 20 days will be wasted ....
“Alright, I received it,” I answered still received it and heard the sound of a sign that Quest was accepted.
However, when I saw Megaera's smile as if saying ‘this is a clear result’, I sighed. If it wasn't for the Quest reward, I wouldn't have done it.
Of course not because Megaera likes to go up 5 points, but because of Character Descends Card. As I recall there is no information about this, or perhaps the information about it is still hidden?
Alright, since Megaera herself is an NPC, I want to continue with the pending meal plan. Ate.
“Chuuuu ..”
“Whisper once. Fire Ball.”
Yeah, until Megaera releases the Fire Ball at the little rats. Eh?
“Wait! What are you doing?!”

You are one of two paths, choosing the middle path where one step on the right and one step on the left. Making their attitude toward you tends to be subtle, but to what extent can you continue to be in the midst of both?]
