Chapter 5: Bloodborn Path Unlocked
"No," Damon said simply. "I'm not Ellora. She sent me."
Varnyx's eyes narrowed ever so slightly. Damon fished out the charm from his pocket and showed it to the vampire.
After a long silence, Varnyx finally nodded. "She must believe you're worthy."
'Nope. I just knew what tickled that freak liked.' Damon silently thought.
Changing race from human being to vampire was actually not that uncommon in the game. Many people decided to go this route and within the vampire race, there were many classes to choose from.
It was a very popular choice right alongside becoming a demon, an undead or a beastkin. There were many ways to get these race changes and they all involved reaching level 25 first and then doing a long and annoying chain quest.
That was until one player stumbled into the old bat Ellora's shop with his Rabbit Killer title.
He got the instant shortcut to change into a vampire. The key was to show up at the well entrance with Ellora's personal charm.
The location of the well was not exactly a secret. In fact all the players knew about this well. It was the hideout base for all vampire players in this started zone. Many players had already tried to sneak into the well without the charm but they were all one-shotted by the grouch Varnyx over here. Only those with the charm can successfully take the shortcut.
By the time these things were established it was already 3 months into the game. But now, Damon was here on day one.
Varnyx turned and began walking into the dark tunnel and Damon silently followed him. "Come," he said without looking back. "Your blood is still warm, but that won't last long."
