Chapter 44 One More Item!

"And who are you?" Serana asked, staring at Druvana with deadly eyes.

Druvana smiled, puffing out the chest to appear bigger, "I am Druvana, a powerful necromancer you won't want to piss."

Serana never heard that name before, but she knew the Undead Legion, and that was the army Druvana commanded! That fact meant she was not someone that could be easily defeated.

"I'm Serana, queen of the vampires. You and I will travel together for now."

"Yes, for now."

The atmosphere was tense, and Damian only watched things by the sides, not saying a word.

"Let the girls resolve things," he thought.

They did not like the idea of traveling with one another, but that was what they had at the moment, and both knew it!

"Everything is fine? Can we move?" Damian asked.

Both did not answer with words but a nod. The two kept staring at each other as they walked through the forest.

"So, Druvana," Damian said, making Serana change her gaze and stare at him, "how is the entrance to another floor? You came from the eighth, right? So for us to go to the second, it must look the same way."

Druvana was the only one that knew how the change of floors looked like. Damian had appeared there after the key transported him, so he did not have any clue about it.

"It looked like a small stone building, like a temple or something," Druvana said.

"Right. Anything in common on all floors? Clues about where this structure could be on this floor?"

"I have one. You said you appeared here out of a sudden, right? You were hurt, confused, so perhaps you missed where the building was? Could you have appeared next to it?"

That sentence made Damian try to remember how the surrounding area was when he appeared there, but he was confused and more focused on fighting shelter that he did not explore his surroundings.

He did not know if that was truly the area where the structure could be, but it was their only clue, and a good one, too. It wouldn't hurt to go there, but it would still take a few days.

"Yeah, I don't remember a thing, but we should go back there. Come, follow me," Damian said, changing their directions a little.

It was a good thing that he was not that bad with directions, or else they would never find their way back to that place.

They kept going, walking through the forest until finally finding a road, almost. Tirednesses was clear in the trio, and after a conversation, they stopped and camp for the night.

"Do any of you know how to camp?" Damian asked, yet got no answer.

He had to be the one doing things, like finding the perfect location, and building fire to warm them, and cook their food.

"This place should be a good one," Damian said.

Damian did not have any camping equipment, so the easiest place to stay was inside a cave, and they found one after not that much looking.

It was not the comfiest of places, but better than being in the open.

Druvana got up and said, "I will hunt for something for us to eat."

Serana did not want to look worse than her, so she said, "Damian, don't worry, I will hunt for us."

Both girls left, leaving Damian inside the cave, trying to build a campfire as soon as possible.

He found the branches and leaves right outside of the cave, and now his friction fire only took him five minutes, way better than before! The warmth feeling enveloped his body, bringing him a sensation of peace.

"Should I look at the book now? No, they could return at any second. I will wait when they go to sleep," Damian thought.

His fingers were itching, as he wanted to click the button in his system to make the necromancy book appear, but decided not to.

Also, where would he hide the book? Inside his cloak? That was the only place he could think of, but it would make his movements slower.

"Is there something like a spatial item in the shop?"

Damian wondered as he browsed his shop, looking for such an item. After not that long of a search — he used some filters to find what he wanted more easily — the spatial right was right before his eyes!

"Expensive!!!"

The spatial was expensive as fuck, at least the good ones, but Damian found one costing 10 Erotic coins, which was the number of coins he had.

"It has 1 sq. Ft. Small, but enough to store my book, and also the cloak if I have to."

He disliked the idea of spending his Erotic Coins after having just recently got them, but Damian knew he would get a lot more, and that item would make him protect the other things he currently had.

What if someone stole him? Or he lost his necromancy book or invisible cloak? That could happen, and if it did, Damian would have basically tossed his points into the air.

So losing the items was not an option. After he chose the spatial ring, it appeared right before him.

The ring was a silver one, and it had a black gem on it, remembering Damian of the space.

<Spatial Ring (Grade ?,  ?): You can store anything inside, as long as it fits>

"Why does the grade, and the rarity, show a question mark? Are these items, like, legendary or something? Well, I will find out later."

Damian pressed the button on his system, and the necromancy book appeared right before him!

It was made of a brown leather, with nothing written on the cover. No one would know it was a necromancy book just by looking at it, but when Damian opened it and saw the first page, he knew it was!

<Necromancy Ability Unlocked>

<Necromancy, (Grade 3): You are now the current holder of the Third Apostle's Book of Necromancy. The book contains many spells, but the book is not complete, and there are only spells up to grade 3>

Two notifications popped before his eyes, and Damian smiled! He wanted to read the first spell or ritual, but stored the book before any of the girls came.

He touched the book on the ring, and thought about activating the item, making the book disappear right afterward.

Damian sat on a rock near the fire, but then he heard a noise! It was not coming from outside, but from the inside of the cave!
