Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
At night.
Although the apartment building had tilted, a lot of basic facilities were still intact.
Bruce and Aurora were snuggled together and watching Friends on a phone. If it were not for the broken TV perhaps they would not have to share a device.
Beside him, Aurora laughed as she slapped the sofa, she was tearing up from laughing too much
It was rare for Bruce to be relaxed, he laughed along with her.
This was a very strange feeling.
Although Aurora was unpredictable, being with her actually made Bruce feel a little more comfortable.
Annie gave him the feeling of being married.
Laura gave him the feeling of having a lover.
Aurora gave him the feeling of being madly in love.
All three of the relationships felt new to Bruce.
“HAHAHAHAHAHA! Look! Look at him, he’s so hilarious!”
Aurora kept on patting Bruce’s shoulder to get him to look at the screen.
The moment she turned her head, she stopped smiling.
Bruce had a serious look on his face, as if he were an animal that had discovered something dangerous.
This made Aurora hyperaware too.
However, she was still an ordinary person, so it was impossible for her to know what Bruce had truly sensed
In just a short while.
Aurora felt that the entire room was abnormally cold, it was as if she was in a freezer.
Even her breath was accompanied by white mist.
Something was wrong, something was definitely wrong. It was currently summer, this should not happen in the summer.
Crack! Crack!
Crack!
The area near the window gradually began to freeze.
Within a blink of an eye, the entire window was covered in ice crystals.
The very next moment.
Bang!
The glass shattered!
“AHHHH!!!”
Aurora screamed out in shock.
But she couldn’t see anything, neither could she do anything.
Suddenly, she felt a broad shoulder in front of her, shielding her and giving her a sense of security.
“It’s nothing, it’s just a little vampire.”
Bruce was oddly calm.
“Vampire!!!” Aurora wondered if she had heard wrong.
‘Aren’t vampires a species that only appeared in fantasy stories?!’
‘What kind world are we living in? It is a world that is so painfully ordinary that it couldn’t be possibly more ordinary than it already is!’
‘How could there be vampires?!’
Although she still did not believe in vampires, she had to accept that they were real.
Otherwise, what was going on with the ice crystals on the glass, and the sudden drop in temperature?!
And what was going on with the broken glass?!
All of this was too supernatural, and Aurora couldn’t give come up with a reasonable explanation at all.
But there was still one more thing.
She still could not understand, why would vampires come here? !
Was there really something valuable here like what the neighbors had said? !
Even the vampires wanted it!
If that was really the case, then Bruce’s identity would be very suspicious.
Although she didn’t have any proof, Bruce should be someone with a wizardry background.
‘Could it be that he is actually a vampire as well?!’
This wasn’t impossible. Not only was his palm strike from before very powerful, it was also wrapped in freezing ice crystals.
‘He doesn’t like to go out, he doesn’t like to interact with people either.’
‘Isn’t this how vampiric characters are often mentioned in novels?!’
Thinking of this, Aurora unnaturally kept a distance from Bruce. She asked with a trembling voice, “Mr. Bruce, are… are you also a vampire?!”
“Huh?!”
“Yes, yes, yes. Yes, I am. Can you quickly hide behind me now?”
“By the way, did you freeze your brains off?!”
“If I were a vampire, would my vampire ‘companion’ think of killing me?!”
“Are you out of your mind?!”
Bruce had no time to chit chat, this was something only someone mentally challenged would say.
She was not thinking about hiding when there was danger but whether or not he was a vampire, Bruce was speechless.
Well, if Bruce wasn’t thinking about dealing with the vampire right now, he would have explained this to Aurora on the bed!
“Hehehehe!”
“So you’re here, it’s you! God’s blood, let me have a sip, just one sip!”
The vampire was hovering outside of the window at this time, looking at Bruce in front of him ferociously.
Bruce heard it.
God’s blood?!
What was going on? What the hell was going on? He didn’t even know there was such a thing as God’s blood.
Could it be?!
“System, is this another one of your tricks?”
“Answer, host, please resolve the current crisis. Otherwise, the system will not be able to give an answer.”
After that, the system was completely silent.
Bruce cursed silently, a golden light suddenly flashed in his hand.
The vampire recklessly rushed towards Bruce.
“Purify.”
Bruce’s uttered in a calm voice.
The golden light was like the sun, illuminating the entire room. The vampire who was rushing towards him did not even have the time to dodge before it was completely turned into ashes.
“Why did I come to provoke you…” the vampire muttered its final question.
Bruce completely ignored it.
“System, explain now.”
“Answer, this is because of the increasing difficulty of the house-leaving crisis. The host will now not only face natural disasters, there will also be supernatural house-leaving crises. Please protect yourself, if you are killed, there is no chance of resurrection.”
“By the way, God’s blood is just a gimmick. All the ghosts and creatures will believe it, and the system will guide them here to help you get house-leaving crises.”
“Host, I wish you good luck!”
Beep!
The system was speaking a few times faster than usual, and it immediately disappeared, which made Bruce even more unhappy.
‘Damn you system, so you’re the one who set me up!’
However, there was nothing that he could do even if he was angry. He had to think of ways to solve supernatural incidents in the future.
He had to become stronger as soon as possible. Bruce was afraid that Satan would suddenly appear one day and take his life. When that happens, would he still be as relaxed as he was now?!
He could only become stronger to change the current situation.
This was the only answer.
There were also points. He had spent five points to evolve his skills just now.
This skill was effective against zombies, vampires, evil spirits, and other undead creatures.
As his level increased, he would become stronger and be able to deal with more types of creatures.
It was a very convenient skill.
‘Ding! Congratulations to host for overcoming the danger of a D-rank house-leaving crisis. 4 points rewarded!’
‘Ding! The host has killed a vampire for the first time. 4 points rewarded!’
‘Ding! The host has overcome the danger of a D-rank house-leaving crisis. The reward is Dragon’s Breath!’
Dragon’s Breath: the host can breathe out flames that are strong enough to melt steel!
‘Holy sh*t!’
‘I managed to get so many benefits this time!’
