At first, the player did not understand anything and looked with surprise at the smile of the skull, which was almost completely covered with gray skin.

The player waved his head. The zombie had not disappeared. The dead man stood and grinning his teeth in a smile. Dan looked around and realized that someone wasn"t in the room. Somebody"s busy with something out there that"s not clear. And a zombie is standing here, and this zombie is keeping him from sleeping.

"p.u.s.s.y! It"s a zombie. A dead guy snuck up on me. Why didn"t you wake me up?" screamed the sinner.

In response, he got the image of a sinner running away with a big sack behind his back.

You"re bad security. Bad p.u.s.s.y! Next time you wake me up when you feel a stranger.

The image of a smiling blonde didn"t add to the player"s mood.

Kate"s not a stranger. But you warn me if she comes close.

Dan looked at the zombie and asked in a disgruntled voice:

"What do you want from me?"

The zombie stopped smiling and came to the door. He made an inviting gesture.

"These zombies are a problem. As long as they grow their lungs and you can"t wait to say a word. Hey, buddy, have you learned how to write yet? Where are you calling me? I got a lot to do."

A zombie couldn"t talk. Pieces of flesh just started to appear on his bones in different places. Dan was always surprised by zombies from former hunters. They didn"t have the unpleasant smell of decomposition, zombie"s smelled raw meat and weird bones. Pure bones also had a smell, the sinner already knew it, and it was the smell of dust and emptiness.

The player left the witch"s house and saw that the dead man had gone towards the hunters" cemetery.

"I hope you woke me up on an important matter, buddy. Hey, buddy, I hear you. I"ll get to the cemetery myself. You wouldn"t give up a piece of raw meat, would you?"

The zombie stopped and turned towards the player.

Dan smiled and took a piece of raw meat out of his inventory. One day he made a strange discovery. Zombies would love to eat raw meat from his inventory. But they weren"t paying attention to the usual raw meat. Dan never understood the magical and attractive properties of meat in his inventory, but sometimes fed the zombies. It always p.i.s.sed off p.u.s.s.y, who couldn"t accompany him to the cemetery and didn"t see her master spending valuable product on dead people. But the cat always knew about the consumption of its meat! p.u.s.s.y always looked at the master with resentment and even punched her tail for unworthy use of the valuable product.

Dan apologized to the cat, and she forgave him. He had a strange feeling of guilt in front of dead warriors. They spent their strength and tried to grow into strong warriors, and he easily took away their levels. It wasn"t fair.

The sinner ran down the path and smiled. He rarely traveled at night. Nights in the company of recruits, he remembered with a shudder. He had to work very hard to complete that quest.

The night was as good as most nights in this world. The moonlight was falling from the sky. At night the clouds disappeared from the sky, and there were many stars. There was always enough moonlight to make you feel comfortable.

Dan fled quickly and hoped to be called to receive an update on his mission for the army of the dead.

In the cemetery, the player took the form of a dead warrior and came to the foot of the central pyramid. He saw a level 70 Juggernaut coming down from the top of the pyramid. This warrior wasn"t much different from the draugr. The shape of the warrior was taller and more powerful. The Juggernaut always wore a closed helmet and quality armor. These warriors waved a two-handed sword freely and easily with one hand, but they did not use shields.

The Juggernaut stopped on the steps of the pyramid and swayed:

"You"ve changed. You"ve become stronger. But you"re weak. You"ve proven yourself to be reliable. Your reward is waiting for you."

And Dan saw a message that made him more excited than any other award in the form of points of Glory. He got a new combat skill!

*

[Attention! You have learned the skill of "Stunning blow". The skill increases the damage you do and deals with the Stunned effect by 0.2 seconds. Your damage and the duration of the effect are increased by 5% per skill point. Action time and Cooldown skill: 120/240 seconds].

*

Juggernaut turned his head and looked at something by the wall of one of the crypts. Suddenly, he said:

"Go and kill one vampire. You have to throw a vampire"s jaw on his body. The vampires will understand and come for revenge. It"s been a long time since we"ve fought vampires."

The dead warrior turned around and started climbing the steps. Dan kept quiet and frowned under his mask.

Completely impossible order in this army. No quest, no reward, no little point of Glory! Just go and kill. Cunning, greedy dead hunters. I wonder if after death I"ll be such a greedy and cunning b.a.s.t.a.r.d, too.

Dan stepped away from the pyramid, bent over and picked up the first vampire"s jaw he got. He put it in his inventory and went to the cemetery exit. The player in his mind scolded the dead, walked the path, and raised his new skill level. Increasing the damage by 50% and staggering by 2 seconds was a great reward. He was delighted with the kind of skill property: Action time and Cooldown skill: 240/40 seconds.

Normal players were able to make three transformations of their cla.s.s, and each time they were able to increase the damage. Kate had a good one-handed elite sword with 600 damage. Her skills allowed her to deal 3000 damage on a normal strike.

Jane quickly calculated and compared the damage of different monsters. She calmed and cooled the warriors down well with the calculations. After level 40, they could only increase damage by increasing their characteristics. And she recommended that everyone raise their spirits, which increased the duration of their combat skills and reduced their cooldown. With regular monsters of equal level, players will not have problems up to level 50-60. But the average damage to a regular level 70 monster will be 7000. And its life reserve of 50000-60000 HP will allow the monster to cause fatal damage to the player, even in new armor.

Dan a.s.signed the word activator to the new skill and went towards the vampire den. With his movement speed, he expected to be in place in 24 hours. From there, he"d have to gently lure some vampire into battle. Then he"ll go east and start exploring new places. A mission from the dead didn"t upset him. They want to fight vampires? Fine. He"s more interested in finding a place to ma.s.s gather monsters.

The sinner walked past the harpy lair and had to take a slow step. Vampires have not visited their flying allies. The harpies could fly. Dan couldn"t find a single path to the bloodsuckers" den. But the lair was marked on the map and he had the exact direction to go.

The meeting with the enemy happened suddenly.

A vampire ambushed him. And a loyal scout and security guard didn"t see the enemy coming. Dan froze when he heard a quiet mocking voice.

"You"ve come a long way, a strange dead man. Who are you?"

Dan saw a vampire and thought he was out of luck with the enemy. The vampire was too good for dead people"s plans. It was a shame to leave such a body on the ground and not collect great trophies from it. And what other trophies could there be from a level 72 vampire?

He"s not a monster. No description. Description of features and abilities of an ancient vampire can take several pages. I wonder how much he"ll pay me to work.

"Greetings, Lord Egnar. I"m a traveling librarian with excellent calligraphy skills. Would you care to write an autobiography? A description of your achievements, victories, and successes."

The vampire smiled. He differed from the average person only in pale skin color. In front of the sinner stood a young redheaded man with an attentive and wise look of green eyes. The strangest thing was to see his age and realize that he had already lived several hundred years. And the vampire lord certainly lived more than one hundred years.

"I don"t need servants. The history of my life is full of secrets, a description of my apparent success I can only trust myself. That"s enough words, dead Dan. It"s time for death."

Greedy and stingy Scrooge! Dan made a quick gesture and a smile disappeared from the vampire"s face. He scratched his eyes a little bit and looked closely at the boundaries of the sphere of light behind his opponent"s back.

"What cunning! A dead man with the skills of a hunter inquisitor. I don"t think bony magicians from an ancient cemetery could bring you back to existence. You are immortal. One of the ones I was warned about. Are you sure you want to fight me? I want nothing to do with people like you."

Dan suddenly realized that he had no desire to kill an ancient vampire. But the vampire isn"t willing to cooperate. What good does it do? Uncomfortable creatures, too proud and unable to do business with other strong partners. Dan sadly realized that the time of conversation was over, and threw the "Chains of Sins" at his opponent. He"ll find out the limits of his skill against simpler monsters.

There was a short distance between them, and the body of the vampire was immediately captured by black and green chains. They wrapped him up and chained him up. The vampire screamed in pain and Dan decided to end this outrage faster. Suddenly he felt a strong blow to his back.

[You took 2400 damage]

[You"ve taken 1100 damage]

Dan turned around and hit the wide arc with his sword.

[You caused 4100 damage]

At the same moment, the shadow of the animal"s large body flashed in the air. The cat knocked down the vampire and immediately gave its life to its master.

"Autodafe". And the sinner threw himself at the enemy with a series of his fighting skills.

[You have done 13500 damage]

[You have done 18300 damage]

[You have done 14200 damage]

He didn"t give the enemy any chance to go into battle.

Dan took a quick look at the level 51 vampire and rushed to finish the clan lord. Hearing screams and moans were too unpleasant.

Dan was swearing at Nick with his useless information. "Vampires don"t attack as a group, they appreciate fights". Why he gets the craziest vampires and the craziest conditions. And p.u.s.s.y doesn"t know how to measure the situation at all! Everything was under control, he wasn"t in any danger. Now he"s going to be walking through the woods alone for 24 hours. Nasty Egnar had no pride, sly and calculated bloodsucker. As punishment, the sinner will take all the trophies from his corpse. He will even cut off a piece of the clever one and eat it.

Dan hadn"t looked at the trophies he"d collected. He took a vampire"s jaw out of his inventory and dumped it on the body of a dead vampire.

Now he has to run and run very fast. The sinner met the wrong clan leader and all the vampires in his clan are just as wrong. They can attack at any moment. And the skill of "Nemesis" did not guarantee survival and victory over a large number of opponents. And Dan ran his trail at full speed. He decided to leave a good trail for the chase, to surely give the vampires the right direction to attack.

*

The sinner found time to rest and carefully considered his prey. An excellent dagger, a few gold coins and an excellent set of rings. The rings were rare. The vampire wore the rings with increased luck. Dan didn"t understand how these jewels helped the vampire. On the one hand, the vampire wasn"t a monster, but the player gained experience for killing him. In this game, it was difficult to understand the place of some of the world"s inhabitants.

The sinner wasn"t bored on the road. When he went out to the bank of the river, he even began to enjoy the journey. He quickly ran along the bank of the river and was distracted by monster hunting. River monsters disturbed him often, but the player won the fight.

He wanted to scold his cat for senseless sacrifice. Dan didn"t do it when he saw her muzzle and felt the joy of meeting her master. He was having fun with p.u.s.s.y. The player talked to the cat a lot and was absolutely sure that she was dealing with a reasonable and very clever creature.

The river was getting wider, the other side was moving further away from the player with each new mile of travel. The forest retreated further and further away from the river and there was more s.p.a.ce between the big trees. Shrubs began to give way to vines. Flying bloodsuckers were more common in the air and immediately attracted attention with their red hair and the loud sound of a buzzing sound. Next to the river bank there were large snakes that could swim. Dan met and killed a new succubus. He didn"t like this fight. He used the creepy skill of the "Chains of Sins". The poor naked woman screamed loudly in pain and moaned even longer.

The sinner made an unpleasant discovery about his cla.s.s. The Sinner was a strange cla.s.s, designed to confront the players. It was a great cla.s.s for a player killer. But Dan didn"t want to torture the reasonable ones. Every day, he was bound to use his "Chains of Sins" and "Nemesis" skills to develop them. It turned out that when he tortures his opponent with "Chains", he develops his most important and useful improved skull, "The Perfect Nature of Evil". For each skill level, he received a 5% increase in all characteristics. But the development was related to the torture of sentient beings. The player did not notice any s.a.d.i.s.tic tendencies. He felt uncomfortable tormenting his victims. But he was doing it. Dan didn"t get any more damage in the fight against monsters. For players, he became a more dangerous opponent. Dan acc.u.mulated enough skill points and was able to fully develop the "Angry" skill, which increased his spirit by 50%. Now he wasn"t bothered by the Succubus attacks. The 421 points of spirit provided a good defense against mental attacks.

Dan was serious about spending a long time on the ruins of an ancient port and killing all the monsters he would meet there.

Six days later, he saw the place he had been walking to for so long. The view of the ruins of an ancient city made the player smile. On the wide streets, he saw the monsters he knew. Mana stealers flew from the roof to roof like big bats. In this place, a more dangerous opponent flew over the city. It wasn"t a swamp bloodsucker. It was Swarm. Dan read the enemy"s description and realized he didn"t stand a chance against this opponent.

*

Swarm

Type: normal

Level: 32

Life: 36000

Damage: 3000

Description: The dangerous generation of evil that hides in the swamps. The swarm is a few hundred small insects. The bite of one insect is pitiful, but an attack by Swarm can destroy the strongest warrior. Swarm is a very dangerous adversary, for the destruction of which the Magic of Fire is recommended.

*

Dan didn"t possess fire magic spells. He knew that killing insects with a big two-handed sword was the most ridiculous and stupid thing to do. He would wave a sword for a long time, for which small insects would just eat him.

So there was a use for "Nemesis", Dan thought. There"s no way I can kill him without invincibility. It"s funny, but the fact is, I"ll use invulnerability to fight the local mosquitoes.

Strange and dangerous birds in the sky over a dead port, he didn"t notice. There were monsters he knew walking the streets. Frog heads of warlords farted their eyes in all directions in search of rivals. The Swamp Knights would appear from the center of the city and come back. The sinner did not notice the Abyss, but this nasty monster liked to sit in buildings.

Swamp snakes crawled into the port streets from the woods and swamps. They were monsters that delighted the sinner with the taste of their meat. They weren"t dangerous. Ordinary animals of 34 levels, which he could easily handle. The snake loved to make a throw and grab the victim in the arms of its body. But Dan had already improved his dexterity and often dodged the snake throw. Very helpful p.u.s.s.y, who found fights with snakes fun and exciting exercise. A clever master lured delicious snakes into a trap! He pretended to be a tree, and the stupid snakes wrapped him in their bodies, which were so easy to rip and tear with their claws and fangs. p.u.s.s.y really liked swamp snakes. Sometimes Dan thought that this sick cat was luring reptiles to him on purpose to kill another snake.

The most unpleasant discovery Dan made later. It wasn"t just the succubus that lived in the ruins of the port. He spotted a strange flying creature. The monster flew fast and had more elegant wings than the Mana Stealer. It was Harlot. Dan shook his head. A very unpleasant opponent. Undoubtedly a reasonable and dangerous creature. There"s going to be a lot of work for the "Chains of Sins" in this place.

*

Harlot

Type: normal

Level: 38

Life: 42000

Damage: 1200-2800

Protection: 600

Overview: A weak resemblance to the powerful demoness who was killed during the battle. Harlot has a constant craving for blood, especially male blood. It is especially beneficial for her development. Harlot can fly and that makes her a dangerous opponent. She is weak in attack but very fast in combat. Usually, Harlot weakens her prey with a curse from a distance. The curse makes the victim fall asleep and quickly loses his life. After weakening the victim, Harlot kills the victim with his long curved claws.

Attention! Harlot can cause a variety of magical damage.

Harlot uses a variety of curses. A curse can take lives [45% at Harlot level]. Harlot can use a special curse that takes mana and lives when used. When this terrible curse is cast on you, try to find a priest faster to break the curse.

The harlot can reach the Temptress level in its development and turns into the most dangerous enemy. Kill Harlot the first chance you get, so don"t give her a chance to become the most dangerous enemy of all living things.

*

The only pleasant feeling from the meeting with Harlot was that the monster looked very beautiful. Harlot was beautiful, her skin was lighter than the skin of the Succubus. The wings added to the charm of this creation. Dan realized it would be a very unpleasant necessity to torture these wretched creatures.

On the first day, he carefully pa.s.sed the city limits. Of course, he went towards the sea! He was curious to watch the vast expanse of the sea. He was sure that new discoveries and new impressions were waiting for him at the seaside.
