The Demon Lord's Heart

Chapter 10

" Hey."

< The Observer > is blinking and tilting their head.

" It seems these monsters were not scared of that thing but me."

< The Observer> is listening.

" Do you know the reason?"

< The Observer> shakes their head and refuses.

' Suspicious. This observer and that stupid system, no , this whole world is a complete mess.'

" I want to meet with those two bastards again." rok soo muttered under his breath.

< The Observer> asks User00101 about the people he is talking about.

" Mind your own business."

< The Observer> is sulking.

' creepy.' rok soo cringed internally.

suddenly a new message appeared on the floating blue screen.

{ Ding Ding Ding

New ability absorbed!!!

congratulations user00101!!

The user can use the prey's ability to manipulate their skin like tentacles though this might harm the user the system decided to make some changes.

ability absorbed: The user can use their clothes as tentacles.} ( Akutagawa, man watcha doing here?)

"Rok Soo raised an eyebrow at the unexpected ability. "Clothes as tentacles? Now that's bizarre."

<The Observer> grinned, "Looks like you've got a new trick up your sleeve. Literally."

{Ding Ding Ding

Quest: Collect Essence of Abyssal Drake

Status: Pending

Reward: 100 coins

Time Limit: 1 hour

Penalty: Death}

Rok Soo sighed " I know i have to do this stupid quest, stop reminding me."

<The Observer> perked up, "User0010!! continue moving forward and give me some more entertainment!!"

Ignoring The Observer's enthusiasm, Rok Soo focused on the task at hand. "I need more information. What is this 'essence,' and where can I find it?"

<The Observer> shrugged, "Your guess is as good as mine. The Forest of Darkness is a vast and mysterious place. Good luck finding the essence."

Rok Soo sighed, realizing that obtaining answers wouldn't be easy. "Fine, I'll figure it out myself. Just stay out of my way."

<The Observer> resumed munching on popcorn, content to watch the unfolding events.

________________________________________________________________________________

Rok Soo, with a determined stride, ventured deeper into the Forest of Darkness. The shadows clung to his form like silent companions, and the ancient trees seemed to whisper secrets that eluded his understanding.

As he navigated through the twisted foliage, the blue screen provided occasional notifications.

<The Observer> is delighted to know that User00101 is progressing in the quest.

<The Observer> has given 50 coins to User00101.

{total coins: 102150}

Rok Soo rolled his eyes at the continued antics of The Observer. "Stop giving me coins. If you want to just give me some huge amount not these 50 coins."

<The Observer> rolled their eyes, "so shameful"

The forest, once again alive with the hum of unseen creatures, harbored the essence of the Abyssal Drake somewhere within its depths. Rok Soo, determined to uncover the truth, delved into the veiled mysteries of the ancient woods.

On the far other side of the forest, some conversations were interrupted.

" Lets head back." Cale announced to the children around him. The Prince and the Princess of the whales were watching silently, but suddenly a group of low level monsters ran past them, not even noticing them.

" What was that?" the red head spoke. Others were as anxious as him.

" Young master, we should head back as soon as possible. These monsters seemed to be afraid of something, probably another monster. This usually happens." Witira spoke, aware of the possible danger.

" Human, you don't have to worry!! This great and might dragon will protect you!!"

Cale patted roan and the kittens.

' No. This is not fear of some monster. Its something else or someone. Terrorist organization, probably. We can go and check, the whale tribes are said to be on par with dragons right.'

" Princess, we should probably check it out, what if that monster was to break out in the henituse territory. Better to take actions now." Cale spoke releasing a little of his newly achieved dominating aura.

" Then we shall, but it seems that it will take time to reach there." Witira said eyes her brother, Pasteon.

Cale smiled, though they could reach there early if raon knew teleportation spell, but its alright.

" Lets go." With the kittens on his shoulder, and raon hovering above his head, cale and the whale tribes moved towards the direction where our demon lord is. 

Would answers be given or more questions will arise?
