Vampire Prince Trapped Into a Hunter

Chapter 4 – FIRST STEP TO HUNTER

“You?”

I looked at him in wonder.

“You ant monster just now right?!”

“What's wrong with you?!”

I asked the figure that was originally a creepy monster, but it had suddenly turned into an adorable black puppet, fixed with its ant species.

“Oh this? I don't know, too, Master. To my knowledge, I obtained this form after refining the contract with the Master. This possibility is due to which Master is very little.”

“I am this great you said bermana little!”

I want to explode.

But as soon as I glanced my MP to the system board,

MP: 3

I can't dispute what the ant puppet said.

“By the way, Master, how about my name?”

I could see the expectant face of the black ant doll on me giving it a name.

“What's name? Hmm. I've never had a pet, so I don't know what's a good name either. But since you are a ‘ant’ (aka ants), how about I call you Anto? How?”

“…”

“Yosh, from now on your name is Anto.”

“Master, but the name is too tacky.”.

“Sst!”

[The Lobe Digger Hunter has arrived at the scene. It seemed that the dungeon break in the outside world had been successfully overcome. Asking the headquarters to confirm who the brash hunter dares to take over my job without permission.]

A voice that seemed angry for some reason because his dungeon break had been successfully overcome suddenly sounded. I nimbly silenced Anto's noisy mouth, though I later learned that his voice was telepathic, which no one but me could hear.

Most likely, that person and his group were hunters in this human world.

Thank goodness there was so much smoke everywhere that I, Arcia, and Anto were invisible to them.

I also took advantage of the opportunity to pull Arcia to escape secretly.

I looked back at the dungeon break scene in the park through the little box that Arcia referred to as this television. Apparently the incident of the dungeon break itself in the outside world is a very rare event even the first time it happened in the city of Sunda Palapa.

That's because usually dungeon breaks only occur in the interdimensional gap only. That too, usually the hunters will immediately complete the dungeon first by entering it through a portal that is connected to defeat the boss of the monsters inside there so that the dungeon break will not occur.

The incident just now was really strange. Not only did the portal connecting the two worlds appear in the outside world, but also once it appeared, it instantly happened a dungeon break, whereas normally a dungeon break would take at most three days to occur for the lowest level dungeon if the boss of the monster inside the dungeon was not killed within a certain period of time.

The woman in the small box (news reader) said that this all had something to do with the dungeon where I came from. Does this have anything to do with me finally being freed from that dungeon? I don't know either.

What gives me a headache now is that I can't deny Viar's involvement, the lowly human I now take over his identity, is, as a key in the completion of the dungeon, what they know is that Viar is the only survivor of the dungeon in question.

I could tell that it was wrong about the reason why the dungeon could disappear was because now it had lost its essence aka its dungeon boss, which was me. But there's no way I'm going to reveal it to anyone.

And as a result, I now have to be interrogated by security personnel in this human world.

I hid as much information as possible that could endanger my identity as a vampire prince to be discovered and also that could attract unnecessary attention to me. I'm just saying that I accidentally defeated his dungeon boss by stabbing him from behind after I attempted to hide and finally found a loophole to do so through my ‘stealth’ skill.

I could see the look on my face of disbelief in my words, but there was no evidence to refute my lies. After all it was true that this lowly human with this face managed to trick me for a moment with that strange skill.

“Sister, Brother, why does Big Brother seem to be trying to go down? Isn't this an opportunity to get even bigger rewards Sister if Brother exaggerates Brother's performance a little?”

“Human girls, it is not good to lie with our own abilities because it will someday be able to harm us.”

“But if you say you beat the boss monster in the dungeon alone, maybe I will also believe, Brother, about I've seen the greatness of Brother in the park at that time. Oh yes, why did Big Brother also keep a secret that it was Brother who defeated the monsters in the park at that time?”

“It wasn't me. Anto is what mostly does. Anyway listen, Human Girl, it's not good if we draw people's attention to us. It will only make us hard on our own. You should also remember this Brother's remark.”

The human girl nodded at my advice to him.

‘No, that's not what matters, is it?!’

Now I naturally call myself a sister in front of the human girl about her who calls me sister.

‘Ah, this really hurt my pride as a vampire prince.’

However, it was undeniable since I could always remember Selena's face every time I looked at this little human girl.

The existence of hunters both in ancient times and in present times seems to make no difference. What changed was only his enemy from hunting vampires, now hunting monsters from the dimensional gap. However, their shrewdness to hide their existence from the public remains overwhelming.

Just like this time. No matter how much the dungeon break disaster was reported, it did not offend the existence of hunters at all.

It is only reported that the government has managed to handle the dungeon break disaster so that people can feel safe. Though it was clear where might those weaklings who were without superpowers could handle such a monster-like entity.

In the evening, I tried to undo my change from the blood binding skill.

That's when I just woke up.

I can no longer go back to my true form.

Somehow I described the fear I felt back then. There are only two possibilities that could cause this to happen. It could be part of the System that wants to disguise me as a human in the human world.

Exceeding my fear of losing all the power I had accumulated over a thousand years, I was more afraid that the existence of Laviar the vampire prince had completely disappeared from this world.

I was afraid that I would eventually disappear in vain even after enduring the pain I had endured for a thousand years confined within that dungeon.

“Ah, I'm afraid of disappearing!”

“At least if I am going to disappear, let me take my revenge first on those human beings!”

A thousand years is a long life. If I lived a normal life and died at that age, it would not be a bad life. It's just that I don't want to disappear before this grudge is avenged.

***

It's free to think about things I haven't been able to find a way out.

What's more important now is the mission of the System.

If I successfully complete the mission, won't I manage to regain my strength? If so, is not my problem by itself I can also find a way out?

That was why once the dungeon break disaster died down, I once again visited the game center with Arcia as my guide.

“Oh yes, doesn't Brother now want to be a hunter right? Well then, instead of applying to an expensive elite gamer school like SMGP, shouldn't you just go straight to a hunter-gathering high school like SMUT?”

“Wait, wait, wait! Explain first what the difference is SMGP or SMUT or what it is! If you say so immediately, how do I understand! Describe it in detail so I understand!”

“From which Arcia read on the internet and from the words of the neighboring mothers next door, ..”

Arcia also explained.

From his rambling explanation, I can conclude more or less like this:

SMGP (School Intermediate Gamer Prima), only focus on improving the ability of students to synchronize the avatar body of the game to increase gamer skills.

SMUT (School of High-Featured Midshipmen), in addition to teaching things like the above, in addition to teaching things like, it was more focused on awakening the innate skills that students gain from the game and then training their bodies in real combat (not through the avatar body anymore).

“Hmm. Interesting too. I'll choose that. But how did I get in there? That must be expensive, right? Is the money we have enough for me to pay for school fees?”

To my question, the human girl suddenly smiled cunningly.

“No school fees at all, brother, if there. Registration and exams are free because it is a school that is financed by the government. It's just that it's very difficult to get out there. But thanks to Big Brother's achievements in the dungeon, no matter if it was just luck, I'm sure Big Brother will definitely be able to escape there. What you must pay attention to now is the written test and hone your innate skills and fighting skills Brother.”

“Then, I will definitely be fine because Anto is the one who will mostly fight against me.”

I took the test that Arcia said to me too lightly. I thought, ever since I had Anto by my side, what more should I worry about. I must be invincible.

Who would have thought that before long I said it, I had to swallow the bitterness of my own saliva.
