Chapter 50
“A great land…”
Sera muttered as if possessed.
Her face was completely blank.
It was a natural reaction, considering an NPC who had lived her entire life in a great land…
Sera muttered as if possessed.
Her face was completely blank.
It was a natural reaction, considering an NPC who had lived her entire life in a medieval fantasy setting had suddenly dropped into a completely different World overnight - and a modern home, at that.
I decided to explain the situation a bit to reassure my panicked new Servant.
“This is the land where one had suddenly been dropped into a completely different World overnight - and a modern home, at that.”
I decided to explain the situation a bit to reassure my panicked new retainer.
“This is the land of Jinjo, a World where a completely different time and space flow compared to where you have lived.”
“A different… time and space…?”
“Indeed. As My Servant, you have now set foot into a new World.”
“Ah…”
Sera’s mouth parted slightly.
“I should make a room for her to stay in first.”
Right now, there are only four rooms in this house.
My Room, Katarina’s room, Si-Yeon’s room, and the room Riri used.
Since Sera had moved in, I needed to add one more room.
I immediately opened the System Window and activated the expansion function of [Jinjo’s Domain].
[Would you like to Consume Gold to expand the space of the Territory?]
'Confirm.'
Rumble-!
With a loud roar, the wall of the living room was pushed aside, and a new door and room sprang up in its place.
“Eek…!”
Startled by the sudden change, Sera flinched and stepped back.
“From now on, this is your room.”
“Ah, y-yes… Thank you…”
“Good. Room assignment is done.”
Then what I need to do now is…
First, I checked the Climber Community.
Since I had cleared Chapter 2 of the 5th Floor of the Tower with a perfect score on a 100-point scale, the reaction will surely be heated this time as well.
Sure enough.
The Community was flipped upside down once again.
- Jinjo-nim cleared Chapter 2 with 100 points too shivers
- Crazy, this makes absolutely no sense lolllll
- If you’re Sol-Peul-Jeon-Sa who rushed into the Community in shock, let’s hit that upvote button.
“Everyone loves it.”
After briefly skimming the Community’s reaction, the next thing I checked was the status of my Territory.
[Jinjo’s Domain (Lv.1)]
- 10,000,000 Gold is required for the next Level Up.
- Once Level 2 is reached, the construction of a new Special Facility will be unlocked.
“Ten million Gold.”
Including the 100,000 Gold I just earned as a Tower reward, the total Gold I possessed was roughly 7.2 million.
This meant I still needed 2.8 million more Gold to Level Up the Territory.
Since I didn’t know what other Overpowered facilities might open up at Level 2 besides the Special Training Ground, it was in my best interest to Level Up as quickly as possible.
“I should probably angle for another round of donations from the Community.”
I considered uploading a short Voice Post like last time.
But back then, everyone opened their wallets because of the synergy between the symbolism of it being my first post and the shocking score of 111 points.
If I used the exact same method now, it would be hard to produce that level of impact.
Wasn’t there a way to definitely draw aggro and receive a lot of sponsorships?
Hmm.
I fell into thought for a moment.
“Ah. This should work, right?”
Just then, a very good idea flashed through my mind, tempered by years of forum browsing.
A cheat code that would work unconditionally.
Hehehe. I should get right to writing the post.
Anyway, while I was doing my collection work in My Room, I needed someone to take care of the new retainer.
I spoke to the girls.
“I must do something important for a while and will be alone, so everyone, rest comfortably. Riri, you take charge of introducing the Territory.”
There was a reason I specifically pointed out Riri for the guide role.
In the unfamiliar environment she had just arrived in, it would be much more comfortable for Sera to be with the sociable and cheerful Riri rather than the cold Katarina or the taciturn Si-Yeon.
“Got it, Master! Sera, I’ll teach you everything here!”
Riri excitedly grabbed Sera’s hand.
“P-Please take good care of me, Senior Riri…!”
“Well, Riri will handle it well on her own, right?”
With a light heart, I entered My Room and closed the door.
It was time to descend upon the Community once more.
* * *
Sera couldn’t tell whether her current situation was a dream or reality.
Not only had she gone from human to Vampire overnight, but she had also crossed over into a completely unfamiliar new World.
Present were the smooth and even floor,, the walls erected with uniform specifications without an inch of error, and even the beads of light shining dazzlingly from the ceiling without the sun or candles.
Everything was far beyond the common sense of the World she used to live in.
What was most shocking of all was the Master’s authority, as he changed space with just a single hand gesture.
'I’ve really become the protagonist of a storybook…'
The Master who took her in was not only a Vampire from legends, but clearly a god-like being who could mold even space at will.
'If it’s someone like this, avenging my parents might truly not be an impossible task.'
While Sera was steeped in awe, the girl with short red hair grabbed her hand and led her.
“Come over here! This is the kitchen! We can make and eat yummy things!”
The senior named Riri introduced herself as 3rd in rank.
With an incredibly bright face, she brought Sera in front of a large silver box.
Whoosh - .
When Riri opened the door of the box, pure white cold air spewed out from inside.
“Here, eat this! It’s yummy!”
What Riri pulled out from inside was a transparent bowl containing a sloshing red lump of blood.
However, Sera’s gaze was fixed on the large box itself.
“My goodness… This box is spewing out cold air endlessly…!”
It felt as if only the inside of the box was in the dead of winter.
To change the seasons at will.
It was undoubtedly a tool enchanted with tremendous Magic.
Did they use such a precious item merely to store food here?
While Sera was blankly observing the box of cold air, Riri thrust the bowl forward.
“Why aren’t you eating? Hurry up and eat!”
“Ah, yes…”
Only then did Sera accept the bowl Riri had been offering her.
A sloshing red lump of blood.
When she drank blood from the Lord-nim’s forearm, she had been too out of it to even taste it.
But now it was different.
The moment she took a sip.
'…It’s delicious.'
It was so sweet and savory that she couldn’t stop.
By the time she came to her senses, the bowl was already completely empty.
'…'
She drank blood, and felt that it was delicious.
She thought she wanted to eat more.
“I have really become a Vampire…”
The monster from the storybooks her mother used to read to her when she was young was real.
That was who she was now.
However, it was fine.
Because she had already resolved that it didn’t matter if she was a monster, as long as she could avenge her parents.
Sera quietly set down the empty bowl.
But Riri was already running toward the next fascinating thing.
“If you’re thirsty, you can drink water from here!”
Riri pressed a button on a small white box.
Then immediately, clear and transparent water began to pour out.
“…!”
Sera gasped and inhaled sharply.
The Territory she used to live in had always suffered from chronic water shortages and hygiene issues.
To get clear water, they had to draw it from a faraway well, and even then, it was often mixed with dirt and dust.
And yet, clean water was pouring out endlessly with just a single hand gesture.
“And this is my favorite thing!”
This time, Riri led Sera in front of a giant black frame in the middle of the living room.
Riri firmly pressed a button on a small black stick.
A bright light suddenly spewed from within the black frame, and the sight of countless people chatting and moving appeared inside it.
“…!!!”
“Master caught a whole bunch of humans and put them in this tiny box! If you press the button, they dance and sing!”
Riri puffed out her chest proudly as she spoke.
In truth, Riri didn’t perfectly understand Modern Civilization either.
She had heard a rough explanation from Katarina at first, but she was just explaining it very innocently in the way she had seen and accepted it.
However, that innocent explanation was conveyed to Sera, a medieval person, in a very bad way.
“Ah. Master trapped their souls inside that narrow frame and has been making them perform tricks for eternity…”
Sera felt a chilling shudder.
If she disobeyed the Master’s words, wouldn’t she be trapped in here too?
The thought that she must absolutely pledge her utmost loyalty embedded itself deeply in her mind.
“This is My Room; this is Lady Katarina’s room; this is Si-Yeon’s room; and that’s Master’s room!”
Riri pointed to the doors one by one.
“Master… What is Master doing…?”
Sera looked at the firmly closed door that her Master had entered.
Master had definitely said that there was important work to do earlier.
If such an incredible Master personally called it important work, just what in the World was happening beyond that door?
It was certain that Master was doing something great, a matter that a being like her dared not even imagine.
