Chapter 57: Perspective Of The Vampire

[00 Months: 01 Days: 14 Hours]

'What an interesting guy...' Lucy Fer's grin widened as she thought of her more just concluded conversation with the Dreamer called Mikey. Searᴄh the nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

'He's still so inexperienced and fragile that it's cute.'

The Dungeon Of Stone's gaping mouth easily allowed her to exit, and a mere glance at her surroundings reminded her of her first impression when she first saw him during the gathering of all the survivors.

At first, she didn't think much of him, but after spotting the Ranker Title, a tinge of interest had surfaced.

It wasn't enough to keep her engaged, though, so she observed all she could with her All-Seeing Eyes, and found the contents of his Status Window a little underwhelming.

The Stats, Titles and number of Skills especially.

He was ridiculously weak.

'How can someone so weak be a Ranker?' She had asked herself.

At that point in time, she had only encountered one other Ranker, so she thought that perhaps she was overestimating the quality of individuals who held the Title.

Besides, he was a mere Rank 9 in the list, so maybe she shouldn't have expected too much from him.

In the end, she had decided not to bother too much with him.

... That is, until she saw him once again at the Dungeon Of Stone.

It was purely coincidental, and since he was the most interesting of the bunch, she wanted to give him more attention.

Unfortunately, she was only met with disappointment when she saw his Status Window again.

This time, she couldn't even hide her dissatisfaction.

'So he's one of those people that start off strong and fade into obscurity, huh?' Was what she thought, and so she decided not to bother with him anymore.

There was a fleeting thought that perhaps he was acting weak intentionally, but after watching him for a while, that thought was proven wrong.

He was even stupid enough to shake Jeff and contact the poison like everyone else. Clearly he didn't know what he was doing.

He had them followed by a Rock and a Tree Demon, both of which couldn't escape her senses.

It was only for that reason alone that she didn't completely ignore him.

And then, after Jeff struck, he was paralyzed—as expected—and was going to die really badly... if not for the mechanisms he had set in motion prior to their meeting.

It almost felt pre-planned, which made Lucy more confused.

She had thought he was a moron who didn't know what he was doing, but then he actually planned for the moment.

So which was it? Even with her decapitated head, she could see everything he did and wondered to herself what kind of person he was.

After contemplating for a while, she simply decided to find out for herself.

'And he turned out to be more interesting than I gave him credit for.'

He wasn't stupid at all. He was just slightly misguided.

'I'm sure with the words I've told him, and with the bonus rewards he'll get for being the last to interact with those corpses, he'll be able to improve greatly '

From that point on, it would only be a matter of time before he shaped up nicely.

'Haaa... Mikey, you better not disappoint me.' Her eyes gleamed bright as she inhaled deeply.

Like a predator, she grinned menacingly as she stared blankly into space.

'Should I have kept him by my side to guarantee the best results? No... I don't think so.'

It wouldn't be fun that way, considering how he would be more of livestock than actual prey.

Besides, trying to develop him would slow her down considerably. Her coincidental encounter with him was simply due to her whiling the time away as she waited for nightfall before challenging the Dungeon that she desired to conquer alone.

'I should be strong enough to do it in the night.' Her grin widened and her eyes glowed brighter the more she thought of the challenge..

Other than finding potentially powerful people, or engaging in interesting affairs, conquering extremely dangerous Dungeons gave her so much thrill.

She enjoyed the task, and she relished the process.

'Besides... it's not like I can get much out of the other Dungeons, considering my Level.'

She couldn't allow herself to plateau in her current position. She had to keep getting stronger.

'Sleepyhead, you really don't know how fortunate you are.' A warm smile coursed through her face.

'You can still challenge all these Dungeons around and call them worthwhile.'

Perhaps that was what intrigued her the most about him. His pliable nature that was castle different from her very set position.

"Haaa... I can't wait to find out how you taste." A warm red hue appeared on her cheeks, and misty breaths proceeded from her lips.

Her heart was racing, and she found herself slowly salivating.

'I only hope you won't keep me waiting for too long.'

{Context: I am reaching out to you concerning the offer I made to you last time. What do you say? We can renegotiate. Just pick the call, or agree for us to meet, and we can discuss things freely}

<Will You Answer The Call?>

[Yes] [No]

"Of course not." She chuckled slightly, tapping the [No] Icon without even reading the Context of the call.

The moment she saw the name 'Francis Baker', she lost any interest in having a conversation.

'When will he learn to give up? Well... not anytime soon, I'm guessing.'

Lucy let out a little sigh before finally walking in the direction of her destination.

"It's gotten so late already." She smiled and closed her eyes.

"Might as well enjoy the evening breeze."

Now you all understand why Lucy called Mikey weak. The difference is so painful... I just can't bear to look.
