Apocalypse Of The Living Dead

Chapter 7: Not This Time

"The aroma coming from it..what ever is inside has to be really tasty." Draken was now drooling after prceiving the aroma and he began to open the flask. 

  

He twisted the cover and pulled it open with full force. After successfully opening the flask, he glanced inside it and all he saw was a red liquid. 

  

"Is this blood?" Draken wondered. 

  

  

The liquid sure looked like blood, but the smell..it was pleasant to Draken's nose. It smelled like some delicious meal and it made Draken drool just by looking at it. 

  

  

"What the hell is this? Why is there a flask filled with blood in the supplies bag pack?" Draken sounded in confusion as he shut the flask back with the cover. 

  

  

The back pack was granted to him as a reward for completing the hidden quest, and it states the bag would contain all that he needs for his first quest. So far, all he has seen in the back pack was nothing but useless, so maybe flask of blood was just a mistake and something useless like the sweater and socks he found inside. 

  

  

"Stupid rewards." Draken cursed with flushed cheeks as he zipped the bag back and lifting it off the floor.  

  

  

"But why does it smell so good? Why do i feel like having a taste of it?" Draken couldn't get his mind off the sweet smell of the blood inside the flask..and just by thinking of it made his stomach rumble a bit. 

  

  

"At least i got some valuable stats points from the quest, it would make up for the stupid supplies i got." Draken smirked as he called out for the system interface.

Draken glanced at the screen and could notice the changes. The first thing he noticed was his Ranking which made him slightly confused. 

  

  

"I guess my rank rose cause i completed the hidden quest." Draken contemated while rubbing his chin as he moved his gaze downwards. 

  

  

"I could have sworn that Blood Bank stuff was at 10 earlier, why then is it 8 now?" A puzzled expression appeared on Draken's face as he noticed the Blood Bank has now decreased by 2 digits. 

  

  

Draken has zero idea of what it means or what it's used for, but he could tell that it was something important and the fact that it went down by two wasn't a good sign. 

  

  

"Blood..i did bled during the fight against that Toad. Did the numbers reduced because i bled? If yes, how do i replenish the lost amount and fill it up back to 100?"  

  

  

With that thought in his mind, Draken shifted his gaze to the back pack he held in his hand. He opened the bag and took out the flask one more time. 

  

  

"Just why am not disgusted by the sight of the blood? Instead, it looks delicious." Draken gulped down saliva as he gazed at the blood in his hand. 

  

  

After staring at it for few more seconds, it lifted it up and began to pour the whole content into his mouth, gulping it down hungrily until there was nothing left. 

  

  

Draken dropped the flask down to the floor and licked the rest of the blood on his lips. 

  

  

"W-what just happened?" Draken's heart began to race as he came back to his senses, realizing he just consumed blood. 

  

  

"I-i drank it?"  

  

  

BLERGH! 

  

  

Draken leaned down and attempted to vomit the content he consumed, but to no avail. 

  

  

YOU JUST HAD YOUR FIRST MEAL AND NOW SHOWING YOUR REAL IDENTITY AS THE VAMPVOID

  

  

5 EXTRA STATS POINTS HAS BEEN GRANTED TO YOU

  

  

YOU HAVE LEVELED UP

  

  

1 NEW ATTRIBUTE UNLOCKED

  

  

Series of notification began to pop up right in front of Draken. 

  

  

"This is crazy. I am getting rewarded for drinking blood?" Draken voiced out with an uncomfortable look etched on his face. 

  

  

BLOOD BANK: 100/100 

  

  

Draken then shifted his gaze to the blood bank panel and noticed it was no longer 8 but 100 

  

  

"The blood i consumed did filled up the blood bank..now i wonder what's the use of it." Draken mused with a look of contemplation. 

  

  

In the games he used to play back home, stuffs like the Blood bank and void energy were like trump card or stuffs that allows a player use his ability in the game. 

  

  

If the energy bar is empty, the user wouldn't be able to use any abilities until he fills his bars back up by defeating enemies. 

  

  

So, if this system worked like a game, then the Blood bank might have a big role in his ability usage. 

  

  

"Right nowi only have one useless attribute. No, wait..." 

  

  

YOU HAVE LEVELED UP 

  

  

1 NEW ATRRIBUTE UNLOCKED

  

  

Draken moved his gaze back to the notification he got minutes ago. 

  

  

  

"One new attribute unlocked? I have never heard an Awakener say anything about them getting multiple attributes in the Void realm. Each person is only allowed to digest one attribute which they would then rank it up to the peak." 

  

  

"But here i am unlocking a new attribute. I just hope it's not something useless than the attribute i digested earlier." Draken hoped before clicking on the notification to see the attribute. 

  

  

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DIGEST THE ATTRIBUTE?

  

  

YES ,NO

  

  

YES.

  

  

ATTRIBUTE HAS BEEN DIGESTED

  

  

DESCRIPTION: SOLAR DOMINATION LVL 1: USER IS GRANTED + 20 STATS POINTS TO ALL HIS STATS WHEN ATTRIBUTE IS ACTIVATED, WHILE THE ENEMY'S ATTRIBUTES DROPS BY 30%. 20 VOID ENERGY REQUIRED FOR USE

  

  

Draken scanned through the description with a contented look on his face. Just like he thought, the Void energy plays a big role in his attribute useage. 

  

  

"But, that's quite alot of energy for a single attribute. If i should go up against a strong opponent where i would require my full strength, i wouldn't be able to use the attribute freely cause of the limited energy." Draken uttered, feeling a bit dishearted. 

  

  

DAM! DAM! DAM! 

  

Loud footsteps reververated throughout the area, causing Draken to turn around swiftly. He couldn't see the cause of the earthquake or loud footsteps, but he knew whatever was coming was quite huge. 

  

  

"A golem?" Draken's jaw dropped to the floor as he caught a glimpse of a gigantic golem charging towards him. 

  

  

The golem was 9 feet tall with gigantic builds and a giant blade in its hand. 

  

  

Draken quickly called his dagger and got in a fighting stance as the golem closed in on him. When it was now in striking distance, it swung its giant blade towards Draken. 

  

  

Reacting swiftly, Draken liftedhis dagger to block the strike. 

  

  

CLANG! 

  

  

Both weapons collided and the force behind the attack pushed Draken several meters backwards. 

  

  

'Such strength..' Draken commented internally as he kept sliding backwards until his back hit the wall and stopped his movement. 

  

  

Before Draken could recover, the golem began to charge towards him once more, slashing its blade forward. 

  

  

'Shit!' Draken cursed, lifting up his dagger once more to block the incoming attack. The golem's giant blade slammed heavily on Draken's dagger and the brute force behind the hit sent Draken backwards and his body crashed against the wall and fell into the building. 

  

  

'This monster is insanely strong and it's not even the boss. If it is this strong, then i wonder how the boss would be.' Draken pondered internally as he dashed outside the building and was now heading towards the golem who was also charging towards him. 

  

  

Before Draken could get in striking distance, the golem swung out its blade towards him.
