Traveling through the game world, starting out as a third-rate villain

When I learned that the enemy I was about to face was a vampire, I immediately ordered a batch of materials, requesting delivery by tomorrow.

However, due to the longer shipping time of some materials, I had to purchase them myself. Although West Oukes is a city primarily known for its historical ruins, it also has some teleportation gates, and therefore a Hunter Association branch and a commercial street serving hunters.

I first headed to the Hunter Association's commercial street.

Information in games is often quite scarce when facing powerful enemies, but regardless of the type of game, there are always people who are obsessed with details and easter eggs, and in order to cater to these players, developers place monster details throughout the game world.

Vampires are no exception. There is a specific vampire boss in the game that must be defeated, and there are also many other vampires on the map that can be hunted as sub-bosses.

But it is very difficult to encounter high-level vampires, because only two are left in the world.

This is what the game told me, and I'm betting on that possibility.

In any case, there is a reason why vampires, despite their power, have not ruled the demon realm. In fact, they have more weaknesses than demons.

And these are widely circulated in the demon realm, because the current demon lord once killed a high-level vampire and seized the throne.

And now, this information is exactly what I will use to hunt vampires.

Sunlight streamed through the commercial street, which was dedicated to serving hunters. Each store displayed unique goods, from enchanted weapons to rare herbs and potions. I wandered through this labyrinthine street, focused on acquiring the materials needed to fight vampires.

The first item on my list was herbs with powerful magical properties.

Silverleaf Fern

Ghost Root Flower

Nightshade Essence

These are the materials needed to make potions that interfere with vampire blood and weaken their abilities.

[Vampire Oil]

Interfering with a vampire's healing abilities and magic is crucial, and this potion does just that.

Silverleaf Fern has the properties of silver, which is one of the biggest weaknesses of vampires. When silver comes into contact with their blood, it triggers a minor reaction that prevents the blood from being manipulated by the vampire.

Ghost Root Flower has the ability to penetrate the magic barriers of monsters. It cannot penetrate a vampire's barrier when used alone, but its effectiveness is greatly enhanced when combined with Silverleaf Fern.

Finally, Nightshade Essence acts as a bridge, combining Silverleaf Fern and Ghost Root Flower while preserving their respective properties.

The weakness of vampires is that they become very fragile when their blood is interfered with.

I entered the alchemy shop and carefully selected each herb, ensuring they were in optimal condition to maximize their effectiveness.

"That'll be 500 Waller in total."

The prices here are much cheaper than in Arcadia. As the capital, it's normal for prices to rise, but the prices here seem unusually low.

"Thank you."

After purchasing what I needed, I looked for many other potions. This challenge would be more difficult than before, and I needed to be fully prepared.

Ring ring ring!

Just as I finished shopping, my smartwatch rang.

[Your goods have arrived, please go to the city center to pick them up.]

"Perfect timing."

With the potions ready, the only thing I needed now was my shipment.

Upon arriving at the city center, I found the designated goods pickup area. A small box containing the materials I ordered was neatly placed there, waiting to be picked up.

The goods included a special potion that could immediately stop bleeding, which was crucial when facing a strong enemy like a vampire.

One of the greatest advantages of vampires is their ability to draw blood from their enemies. When facing such an opponent, you must always be vigilant about your injuries and ensure that your blood is not exploited.

This is exactly what this potion does.

Another item was a special gas bomb containing garlic. Garlic is a weakness of vampires, often considered a legend, but it is actually true. While it is not as lethal as legends say, garlic can interfere with a vampire's senses, making them vulnerable in combat.

After putting all the goods into my space bracelet, I returned to my room. The city was gradually waking up, and the streets became more lively. People went on with their daily lives, unaware of the threat lurking in the shadows.

'A newly awakened vampire is also very dangerous.'

If such a fiend is allowed to evolve, it will become a formidable enemy.

According to my investigation, this vampire has only recently awakened and has not yet reached its full potential, making this the best time to nip it in the bud.

Buzz!

The automatic door opened, and I immediately went to my room. The room wasn't big, but it was enough to serve as my temporary base of operations.

I placed all the necessary materials on the table, ready to deploy at any time.

Then, I began preparing the tools to deal with the vampire. After lighting the heater, I began the crafting process.

First, add mineralized water and boil it with 2 grams of salt.

......

After an hour of mixing, I finally finished.

'Good.'

Looking at the color of the potion, I was satisfied with the result.

Now, I just need to wait for the Vampire Oil to cool, and then I can apply it to my weapon.

'Now, only one last thing to do.'

Knock knock!

Just as I thought of this, there was a knock on the door.

"Morse, are you there?"

It was Sylvie.

"Just a moment."

I didn't want her to see what I was doing inside, afraid that she would guess what I was about to do and worry.

I sighed inwardly and quickly got ready. I knew that Sylvie's state of mind was very important to me.

I quickly walked to the small washbasin in the corner, washed my hands, making sure there were no potion residues. After confirming that I was clean, I opened the door.

"Ah…"

She was waiting at the door, the dark circles under her eyes and her tired state indicated that she had insomnia, and the smell of coffee and her lack of energy indicated that the effects of the coffee were gradually fading.

"Senior Emilia said you were looking for me, is there anything you need?" she asked, her eyes curiously looking around.

"Yes, I have something I need your help with."

"What is it?"

"Let's talk in private, can we use your room?" What I needed to ask could not be seen by others, it was very important, and since my room was not cleaned up yet, then we could only go to her room.

Sylvie blinked, her cheeks slightly flushed. "Uh, okay, what do you need?"

Well, this might be a misunderstanding.

As we walked into Sylvie's room and closed the door, she looked at me nervously, I could see her trembling slightly.

She was forcing herself. What happened yesterday must still be bothering her.

'Sigh…'

I sighed inwardly, I decided not to waste any more time and get ready. I knew that Sylvie's state of mind was very important to me.

And she became like this because of my actions, repairing her state of mind also became my responsibility. And whenever I looked at her, for some reason, her innocence always made me feel a little suffocated, which reminded me of the past.

"Sylvie, do you know how to use your power?"
