Reincarnated Hero System



"…what are these?"

"Things that are very useful to you.

Eat them all.

Take these ones too."

Evan gave her a few of the random treasures they found, ones he felt would be good for her before continuing.

"Treat it as an apology for earlier."

As he expected, Griselda had a spatial expansion artifact on her, a bangle; and after appraising it, he found that it had quite a lot of space within it.

A little persuasion from Eliza whom she trusted more than Evan was enough to get her to accept the items and put them in her artifact.

"Don't tell anyone you came here, okay? Though I expect you'd already know that."

"Are you taking me for an idiot?"

"Ask me that again after not trying to enter suspicious magic circles that lead to the home of monsters twice your level."

Evan's retort to Griselda shocked the girl out of her wits. She glanced back at the magic circle in front of the stone shrine with a hint of fear in her gaze while Evan only looked at her with an amused smile.

'Although the reason is different, the same effect of her not entering the magic circle like in the game was achieved.'

Evan then pulled out a memory gem from his Inventory and tossed it to her, along with a badge that had his Peerage Crest as the 'Count Bourne'.

"What are these for?"

"The Memory Gem contains the real history of Human-Vampire relations. And why your race was taken to Dark Continent by 'Dragon Lord' Altrishia.

Spoiler alert, she did that to protect your race.

Also, even though Rathal hates your race, he would not do anything to any Vampire below the Epic Level, so even if he comes here in this instant, he would not do anything to you, at most, he'd just tell you to go back however you came here."

After explaining the memory Gem to her, he then pointed at the badge and continued.

"That, is my Nobility Crest."

"Nobility? You're a titled Noble?"

"Yes, I am."

Griselda was clearly surprised by this revelation, but after thinking about Evan's display of power earlier, she didn't find it strange at all.

'If I was a ruler, I'd try to bind someone as powerful as him to my country through some means.

Come to think of it, what level is he? I can sense that Eliza is a Grandmaster, but I cannot sense his level at all. Is he that much higher?'

If only poor Griselda knew Evan was a master-level existence like she was, if only she knew.

"Keep it on you, it'd be useful in the future."

Evan only told her that one line before asking Eliza if she could sense Hydran's life sign, to which the girl shook her head.

"Well, I would have told Hydran to give you that Memory Gem, but since I met you in person it's a lot better.

Anyway, you should leave soon before your Clan notices you've gone missing."

Although Griselda wanted to ask about the first part of Evan's statement, the second part made her realise that she had been gone for hours and someone was bound to notice she was missing soon.

She quickly pulled out her Spatial Magic artifact, and after bidding Eliza farewell, she utilized the artifact's imbued Spatial Magic Spell, Gate.

'I should learn other spatial magic.

More reason to get that spell tome.'

Evan thought to himself as he watched the girl disappear beyond the portal, before turning back to Eliza and saying.

"Now we've gotten on the good graces of one of the Vampire's future Sovereign-level existences, let's go kill Silverwing, shall we?"

"Huh?"

With those words, he casually walked into the magic circle and vanished after his body was wreathed in light, leaving behind a surprised Eliza who sighed and followed him after picking Kayla up.

◇ ◇ ◇

"Evan, wait up. What did you mean by a 'future Sovereign Level existence'?"

"Exactly just that.

I mean, she IS the daughter of one of the Vampire Race's Sovereign Level existences; the Vampire Permelia Lorelei, head and founder of the Lorelei Vampire Clan."

"So, she's a Big Shot's daughter?"I think you should take a look at

"Yep.

She's a big shot's daughter who has more than enough resources to become a big shot on the level of her parent in the future.

Besides, do you really think any random person would have access to an artifact that lets them use the Tier 6 spatial magic, Gate?"

Evan replied to Eliza as he sorted through the archive for information on Silverwing, a part of his mind reminiscing about Griselda's appearance in the game during the demon Invasion.

"When you think about it like that, it does become obvious she's not a normal vampire.

Even my dad wouldn't let me use such an artifact."

The latter half of her statement was muttered silently, but Evan still heard it with his superhuman hearing.

He paused for a moment and looked at Eliza with a strange gaze as he thought.

'She says that like her Dad does have an artifact on that level…

Wait…Didn't I give up on thinking about Eliza's family for now?'

Shaking his head, he kept on walking, only for Eliza to ask him a question he had been expecting.

"You knew she was going to be here, didn't you?"

After being with Evan for more than a year, Eliza knew how the boy usually had information about events that were going to happen in the future, almost as if he had a skill that let him see into the future.

However, Evan had shown her his status multiple times, and she had seen he didn't have any skill of the sort.

'Unless he's concealing it from me with his concealment skill.'

For a moment, she felt a little bit sad at the thought that she wasn't trusted that much, but she shook those thoughts out of her head right after.

'Come on, Elizabella. If you had such a skill, you'd hide it too.'

"Yeah.

I did know Griselda was going to be here sometime this year, I just didn't know she was going to be here at the same time as us."

"That so…?"

"Yep. Lucky Coincidence."

Evan shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, but Kuro who had climbed up to Eliza's arms turned to Evan and snorted internally.

'Lucky coincidence my foot. That's your irregular title at work, subtly altering fate and destiny.'

However, Kuro did not voice these thoughts and just rested his head and closed his eyes to take a short nap.

'In the game, Hydran was the one who stopped her from entering Silverwing's domain. But since Hydran isn't here at the moment, she would have entered if it wasn't for us and died against Silverwing if she did.

Silverwing is not the kind of creature one can face alone and expect to win.

Even though I know all of its skills and attack patterns, I am not confident in taking it on alone. This boss has the Unique skill variant of my Tenacity skill too, killing it is a chore. Plus, its attack power and stamina are off the charts.'

Evan thought to himself as he remembered how difficult it was for him to defeat Silverwing in the game, he lost 5 of his six support characters during the battle, and both he and the sixth one were at less than 10% HP at the end.

"Well, this place wasn't supposed to be her destination, though.

She was supposed to end up somewhere else on the Alpha continent, but at the exact same moment she activated the artifact's Gate spell…"

Mid-sentence, scenes from Aidos Online flashed in his mind, as he remembered his multiple defeats against that 'Entity', even after days of strategizing.

"…the wielder of the 'Child of Space' Unique skill, did something at that same instant, scrambling and distorting all of space within a certain radius of their position."

"And Griselda was within that radius?"

"Bingo.

But, since Gate is a Tier 6 Spell, it was powerful enough to prevent her from getting lost in spatial distortions or having her body torn to shreds by the ensuing spatial storms between her and her original destination.

Instead, the spell sent her here, to the 'Cavern of the Frozen Harbinger'.

Thus, her goal of meeting Alpha continental humans was NOT achieved."

[She met you two, and Master decided to be a show off.]

Milena chipped in a reply that Eliza and Kayla concurred with, much to Evan's dismay, then again, explaining why he really did that was kind of a hassle for him.

'In the game, the one who 'Intimidated' her, was Hydran. He nearly killed her because of her presence here despite not possessing the 'Loved By Nature' title, but after understanding her circumstances, he decided to let her go.

But that experience of being shown the vast gap in strength between her and Hydran was the driving force that pushed her to strive for greater power, in a bid to surpass Hydran himself.

She made the most of her Elder Breed bloodline and was able to become a Sovereign level existence by the time the Dimensional Rift's Seal broke, almost as fast as Rathal.'
