Chapter 159: Return to the Deathwill Castle
The soul grave-keeper and The Dullahan King weren't the only ones sent to the Earth through a power beyond their reach. In fact, every powerful existence had been transported here forcefully.
They lost their race characteristics, becoming normal humans.
No one was the exception.
However, if they reset their level, they would've been able to change their fates. They would be able to remain in their world and level up with players. It was still a tough choice as everyone knew how hard it was to level up.
And every high-level existence had its plans and people to look after. For that reason, The Dullahan King decided to go with the [Earthling Quests].
He was fine as long as he could return to his kingdom at his wish. With his strength, his main duty was to protect his home. His presence alone was enough to deter most people.
And his kingdom was also part of the Darkmana Empire, so people such as the soul grave-keeper couldn't leverage their situation.
Little did he expect that even the soul grave-keeper would go with the [Earthling Quests] and leave all matters to his daughter.
The Dullahan King also didn't think he would go side by side with his main enemy, talking about life and other stuff.
But on Earth, both of them were mortals. Even if they had five seconds of their full strength, that wouldn't be enough to escape the mortals' eyes after fighting with each other.
In that science world, humans had eyes everywhere… And their tracking abilities were too good!
In a nutshell, if it weren't for the police, these two probably would've been at each other's necks at least once.
"I got my work… Time to get more rewards," the soul grave-keeper chuckled before separating himself from the Dullahan King.
He waved as if they were good pals, then casually distanced himself.
The king stared at his back, "Where will those quests and rewards lead us?"
People from this world could enter their world with immortal bodies and limitless potential. They could rise to the peak and eclipse the bright light of mighty existences such as him.
What about the residents of Avander World? Most could no longer level up in their world… Some got a chance to rise again while the high existences had been sent to another world.
They had new human bodies. They had new limits… They had different lifestyles…
[Earthling Quest #1 - Using your experience as the king, help the landlady get more clients to her apartments!]
"Dealing with people is not my forte," the Dullahan King sighed before making his way toward his home.
He hoped to resolve the matter with the landlady, then start doing his quests seriously…
"I need money," he whispered, looking at the system.
[Reward for #1 quest: 1000$, the landlady's trust.]
After his school, Alex immediately logged into the game.
He appeared on the last spot he had logged out. It was a quite bizarre experience as Alex had never appeared in a world with so many people around… It was also common to see people arising out of nowhere as others logged in.
He smiled, then found a hidden spot in one of the alleys.
From here, Alex used his skills to return to the Deathwill Castle. He was more familiar with the silence and the dark atmosphere here… It was not really dark with little dullahan living here, though.
And as Celia's loud steps rang out, Alex's mood brightened.
"Daddy!" Celia shouted after locating Alex. She jumped into his arms, then tightly hugged, not planning to let him go.
Her good friend, Ubo, had been following her. He rubbed his head on Alex's leg as he missed him too. Deep inside, Ubo was still wounded by the events with the Dullahan Royalties, so he needed as much care as possible.
Alex knelt, hugging them both.
While patting Ubo's head, Alex looked at Celia, "How do you always locate me so quickly?"
Celia grinned, lifting her hand to scratch her hair, "I don't know!"
Alex faintly smiled, "I have got a lot to talk about. I'm sure Bo has a lot to share too."
[You have summoned your battle spirit, Bo.]
"Bo has leveled up!" Celia said with stars in her eyes as she scrutinized Bo's stats. She just saw his higher level than before, but that alone was enough to excite her heart.
She wanted to learn about Alex's adventure and his time with his friends!
Alex stood up, letting two wolfs talk with each other. He took Celia's hand, and then they made their way toward Stella's room.
"We were in a hard dungeon… Big orcs were our enemies!" Alex spoke in a little childish way to make sure his daughter understood every detail. He also coated his words, missing much bloody and inappropriate stuff.
Celia was mostly overjoyed by Alex's friends. She nearly cried when Alex told her that he would introduce her to them soon.
"I won't hide you from my friends, Celia," Alex ruffled her hair while Celia wiped off her tears of happiness.
He couldn't help but smile and hug her again.
"I'm not crying!" Celia put a strong front while feeling Alex's hug.
At last, they faced Stella's room. Alex opened the doors casually, then smiled at the sleeping girl on the vast bed.
He slightly raised his voice, "Stella! I'm here with a lot of good stuff to talk about! Come and have some meal with us." He sighed then, "And you can't sleep as the only adult here. You have to take care of your niece."
Celia folded her arms, "I've been taking care of the aunt Stella!"
Alex burst out laughing as he utterly believed her, "I see, I see."
As if feeling like it was her time, Stella turned around, "Welcome back." She cast her golden eyes on Alex with a slight blush, looking immensely adorable on the bed with her pajamas and clean body.
Alex smiled widely, "I've to thank you, Stella."
Celia raised her eyes, curious, "Has aunt helped daddy?"
"Yep," Alex broadly smiled.
