54 End of History

Sarrisa was watching a strange warrior and she was scared. Early in the morning, this monster went outside and started killing monsters. He didn't stop for a second. The warrior didn't take any chances. He had an unpleasant skill, with his help the warrior pulled his enemies to death one by one. A warrior with a large two-handed sword made several quick blows and killed the enemy. Then he would summon the next enemy to his death. There was no funny cat next to him. The warrior did not worry about his life. By noon, this monster reached the crossroads where the terrible enemy was standing. Sarris saw a terrible sight. The warrior first drew the attention of the big monster to himself, and then threw terrible nasty chains at the enemy. The Huge Swamp Knight could do nothing. He fell to the rocks of the street and wheezed in pain and suffering. Sarris realized that such a fate threatens her when she encounters a strange ally. The worst thing was that the warrior hadn't even fought the huge monster. He left the enemy in pain and suffering. The warrior summoned an ordinary monster from the crossroads to fight and continued his monotonous work. The monsters died quickly. Sarris was already bored watching the warrior's actions. When his opponent was quiet and stopped moving, the warrior approached the killed enemy. Sarris saw the warrior cut off a piece of meat from the dead body and ate it. She couldn't believe her eyes. But then she saw the body of the Great Swamp Knight goes missing.

The warrior went in her direction. He stopped and waved his hand at her. Sarris realized it was time to talk. She spread her wings and flew off the roof to the warrior.

\"Greetings Sarrisa, I have some unpleasant news for you. The people of my clan don't agree to deal with you. Hunters kill monsters, hunters do not deal with monsters. I'm happy with that. Our women are very dangerous and strong. If they agreed and got your knowledge, then the men of my clan would be angry at me for a long time.

You are useless to me. It's sad. But I have one proposal for you. I am a warrior, I am not a merchant. I'll kill every monster in town. I'll get the trophies. You'll buy trophies from me at a fair price. You'll need them. When the adventurers from Dor come to town, you can give weapons and armor to these brave men. Weapons and armor are a good reward. You know where I am staying. Your daughters can't come to my house. I'll put my weapon and armor outside the house. Your daughters will bring money and gems. Do you agree to that deal?\"

Sarris was unhappy. She was hoping to make a deal with immortal hunters. Women can always make a deal. Perhaps they can agree later? You can't lose touch with immortals. This man's offer was simple and acceptable.

\"I agree to exchange money for weapons. I'm sorry your women won't come to town,\" she said.

\"Not all at once, Sarrisa. I'm a special hunter. I can do business with monsters. I'll propose one hunter. He's a master trap hunter. There are a lot of hiding places with traps in these old houses. They're dangerous even for me. Nikki's a very capable guy. He doesn't like to kill monsters. He likes stashes and traps. You're going to have to negotiate with him, or ignore him. But Master Nikki will want to get into your treasury. And that trickster will be able to kill you all. It will not be easy for him, but he is capable of much.\"

\"I don't want all sorts of masters in my treasury! Can this Nikki go around my town?\"

\"Your town? Sarrisa, you made the impression of a smart monster. You want the city to be your own. There's a price to pay for everything in this life. The city's a valuable commodity. You'll have to keep your place in order. You have to find a balance, find a limit within which you can kill people from Dor. If you destroy too many men, the citizens will call the Hunter Clan. The Hunters do business with humans.

Hunters can always take a mission to Dor and destroy you and all your daughters. My clan already has its city. Be grateful to your goddess for that. I hope the hunters of their other lands are not interested in this place. That's enough words. I have a lot of work to do. Are you aware of the prices of weapons, beautiful?\"

Sarris snorting and laughing.

\"I'm not a trader. I hope you're not fooling me.\"

The warrior smiled and she realized that he also didn't care about gold and jewelry.

\"I won't lie to you. One object for one gold coin. Five items for one gem. Sarris, I don't know what advice to give you. Do you know about vampires?\"

The temptress nodded her head. She read about these creatures.

\"Vampires deal with humans. Vampires get to negotiate with humans. But you can't negotiate with humans. You're too beautiful. You're divine and unrealistically beautiful. Every human has a woman. No normal woman can tolerate you around her man. And your knowledge may be useless to ordinary women. You have a difficult life ahead of you. See you later, daughter Avri, it's nice to talk to you. It's nice to enjoy your perfection. But I have a lot of dirty and boring work to do.\"

Dan was killing monsters until tonight. When it got dark, he went back to the house with a time point of rebirth and called Pussy. The cat was unhappy with its master. She already understood the meaning of the experience for killing monsters. She knew it was harder for him to get stronger. She didn't remember anything about her offside condition. She was bored in an unknown place where she sometimes found herself after death. It was fun and interesting with the master.

The sinner sent her hunting and asked her to kill the crab. The cat ran away to the sea. Killing these monsters was fun and their meat was delicious.

Dan was pleased with the deal with the temptress. The trophies had weight. But money and gems did not weight this game! Exchanging weapons and armor for coins and gems was a great deal. At least some benefit from these monsters.

Pussy brought a big limb in the teeth of a killed crab, and Dan fried his meat on fire.

Suddenly, he heard a rustle. Dan raised his head and saw another temptress. She looked like a bright piece of fire. Red hair, red wings, red rocks in her necklace, the temptress was dangerous as a flame of fire. She looked younger than her girlfriend. Rory had a small teenage girl figure, but her big green eyes looked at the world with the cold and calm look of the monster. The expression of her eyes was the most unpleasant thing about this beauty. Her behavior was also cheeky, bold and not quite pleasant. She stood up on the roof of the next house and immediately made a demand.

\"I came with love, warrior. I want to touch your beast. It looks soft and pleasant. I want to touch it. Tell him not to attack me.\"

Dan looked at this little cheek bird and then turned his gaze on Pussy. The cat understood the cheeky girl very well. Dan had a picture in his head of a cat ripping off the wings of this redheaded girl.

\"Pussy, don't hurt Rory. She wants to touch you. She's not evil. You know how much girls like you. Get over it, my beautiful, and do something nice for our guest.\"

The cat started snorting and resenting. It didn't like to be stroked by strangers. Dan smiled at the temptress.

\"If you hurt my pet, I will kill you. You can try stroking her. I was wondering if you could get along. Pussy's a girl too, let's see what happens.\"

He ate meat and watched the animal and the monster get to know each other. They ended up fighting. The temptress fought back with a whip against a wood cat's tail. Both of them liked the game. Pussy let herself be petted, but easily scratched her new acquaintance and gave her bruises with tail punches.

The temptress called in a harlot, which brought in the trophies. The winged monsters brought a chair for their lady and took away the trophies. Dan wasn't paying attention to the harlots. He talked to the redheaded beauty. She talked about monsters from the sea. It was useful information. The player found out that very dangerous monsters live in the sea with long tentacles. Suddenly, these monsters can grab the victim and quickly eat with their huge mouths. Some monsters spit poison! Harlots and temptresses do not need food or drink. But they like the taste of wine and food. They like the taste of raw meat of crabs and snakes. But hunting snakes and crabs is a dangerous business. Sometimes girls die from wounds and bites.

Rory saw Pussy hunting. The brave and clever cat was very much liked by the young temptress. Rory confessed that she was bored in town, and she wanted to hunt with such a clever little prey.

Dan laughed after confessing to the temptress. After killing the first boss of the location, he got a quest to kill every monster in town. Now the game has offered him a new quest!

*

[Attention! A new Food for Monsters Quest is available. Quest type: Rare. Reward: 5 points of Glory. Description: Winged monsters love to enjoy the flavor of crab meat and snakes. You must deliver food to your friends. Quest results: Crabs 0/10 or Snakes 0/10. Are you taking the quest? Yes/No]

*

Dan stopped laughing and took the quest. He wouldn't give all the details of his game to a new friend. But he was laughed at by the fact that he again plays the role of a monster food provider. They agreed that every day he will call Pussy, who will kill monsters to feed the winged beauties.

Rory was pleased and specified that she would also be taking part in the crab hunt. It's not nice to deal with snakes. There's not much room for flight in the woods, it's uncomfortable and dangerous. Dan told the redheaded beauty that Pussy has a mind and should not be seen as a stupid animal. The most important thing is that Pussy is immortal, and a redheaded beauty must understand all the responsibility for her decision to participate in the hunt. The temptress wasn't upset. Dan saw that this young and brazen monster likes to risk and participate in all kinds of dangerous pranks. The player thought that when Rory met Nikki, those redheads would drink Sarris' blood well.

Dan learned from a new acquaintance that there are seven scary big monsters left in the city that protect their habitat. A small part of the city is flooded. When the player kills all the monsters in the streets of the ancient port, the swamp will surely appear new monsters. The temptress was sure that the Succubus and the Harlots would be able to cope with them. Monsters from the swamp will not be the biggest problem. Even this young beauty understood that new life would dictate new difficult conditions for their pack.

The second day after killing the second boss, Dan sent a message to the burglar.

\"Hey, redhead. I'm cleaning the ancient port from monsters. Houses are full of stashes and traps. I died three times. It's a good place for you. You can make arrangements with the local flying beauties. You don't have to pay any attention to them. It's your decision.\"

The burglar answered the next day. He wrote that he likes the job, he'll come to the port and work. He wasn't advised to mess with monsters. He'll take care of it on his own.

Dan warned his friends about an interesting guest from the hunting clan. Sarris had already fought with the player. She didn't like the fact that her girlfriend was running around like crazy on the beach and risking her life during a stupid crabs hunt. Dan said there's no such thing as experience. Soon, they'll have to kill the swamp monsters themselves. Rory doesn't seem like a reasonable friend. He advised Sarris to negotiate a deal with a redhead burglar. The burglar can sell her some great health recovery potions. If Nick says no, then she'll have to fly west and look for him. He's willing to sell her some healing potions for her herd. The temptress said she was interested in the offer. Dan confessed to her. That he has a crazy idea.

\"Sarrisa, your biggest problem is that you're too beautiful. And that's... That you're a monster. But people are willing to do business with a reasonable monster, people are no better than monsters. You can wear a cape and hide your wings. But then it works. That you can wear a mask! If you hide your face, you can fly to the city of Dor and try to make contact with Duke Dorian. As head of the coven, you can count on the ruler's understanding. There are a lot of crazy adventurers in town, if some of them disappear into the jungle of the north it's okay. It's very difficult to keep the situation under control.\"

Sarrisa thought and admitted that she liked the idea of doing business with him or with another immortal hunter.

\"You know too much, Dan. My goddess warned me about the appearance of people like you. My conclusion is simple. I'll take my chances and try to deal with you and others like you. I have had no visions of dealing with ordinary people. I once had a vision. We have to be careful and pay for our needs. That's where our connection with ordinary people ends.\"

Dan shrugged his shoulders. She was right, she couldn't compete with the Duke of the ancient rulers in intrigue and administration. The contract with the hunter was simple and clear to her. Only time would show them the new facets of a possible relationship.

*

For eight long days, the sinner had been killing monsters. When he got to level 60, Kate congratulated him.

\"Are you crazy out there yet? How long do you have to wait?\"

\"It's okay. I'll be back in ten days.\"

*

He never comes back. He didn't come, he ran as fast as he could. The world has changed completely.

The loud rumble of thunder drew Dan's attention. The clouds in the sky were gone and the world shone with the sunlight.

And the players saw a global message.

*

*

Dan got a message from Nick asking him to go back to Castle. The sinner quietly destroyed the bosses and decided to return to the clan.

He talked to Sarrisa.

\"The world has changed, Sarrisa. New immortals will now come into the world. So many will come to this place. Be ready to accept death.\"

\"I'd rather leave this place. We'll fly north.\"

\"Sarris, I know the map. You'll never hide from the immortals. Let Avri keep your way. Goodbye, Temptress.\"

\"Let Sardar light your way, immortal.\"

*

Most of all, Dan was amused by the idea that it was time for sinner's skills. Killing players is big business. It's a serious job. He'll have a lot of work to do on clan lands.
