Chapter 38 Buying An Item
Chapter 38 Buying An Item
?After the two nights, Damian earned himself 40 Erotic Coins! That was a high number for a started like he was.
"What should I buy with this?"
Damian browsed through the abilities section, trying to see if there was something that caught his attention, but there wasn't anything fancy about the number of coins he had.
He also wanted to first get good at his Telekineses ability, and then go buying others. It would not make any sense to have multiple abilities yet suck at all of them.
But the System had many things, not just abilities. Increase his attributes was something Damian could do, like leveling up a character of an RPG.
"Let me check the items first," Damian thought.
The System also had a shop with many types of items, ranging from offensive to defensive. Most of the things in there were enchanted swords, daggers, bows, and rings. Damian did not know about its effects.
"It has medieval like items. Makes sense. A pistol is useless against most beasts and superhumans."
Despite the shop having a lot of choices, most were expensive or were things that Damian would not make fully usage in that moment of his life, except one little thing.
"Invisibility Cloak!"
A black cloak that looks like an overcoat, fitting the aesthetic of any world, be it the Earth or the place Damian was. But when one put on the hood, it would make the user invisible!
It was like an item from a fiction book. Why did it catch Damian's attention? Well, he and Serana were preparing to flee, and although they might not need the cloak to escape, it would be useful in the future because the vampires would chase them.
"It will make me safer, and I can hug Serana and make her invisible, too. The cost is 20 Erotic Coins, and I can upgrade the item in the future too! Not bad."
The other positive aspect was that it was not expensive, meaning Damian would still have some points to use to increase his attributes.
Also, just like the abilities where Damian could use the System to upgrade their grades, the same worked for the items!
"Now that I know about this, I can even become someone who solely uses the power of items to overcome my opponents. Awesome!"
That fact made it more bearable for him to use the points, too. No one wanted to buy an item that would become useless in the future. Damian would still have the chance to evolve it.
He moved his right hand, clicking the menu to buy the invisible cloak. Twenty Erotic Coins vanished from his character tab, but a black cloak appeared before him, like magic!
Serana was already asleep, so she did not see him using the system. "I should make this a secret."
<Invisibility Cloak (Grade 3, (Uncommon): Once activated, turn the user or anyone that has the cover of the cloak invisible. The strength of the invisibility will depend on the item's grade>.
<Remember, one will still leave footprints or make noises while using the cloak. Only the Legendary version will not>.
Damian read the item's description, wearing it right after. It worked just like he imagined, and he tested it out inside Serana's room.
She had a big mirror standing in the room's corner. Damian stood right before it, and when he put the hood on, nothing happened.
"I have to activate it. Does it work mentally?"
He thought about using the item, and sure thing, in a moment he was there, and in the other he was completely gone.
Damian kept moving in front of the mirror, testing everything. The sounds still came out, like his breathing, and his footsteps too! It was not a perfect item yet.
"Maybe I should get something to reduce my noise the next time, like a pair of boots? Or couple the cloak with some ability."
It was still an extraordinary item to have, and one that would help Damian a lot the next night when he escaped.
As for the remaining 20 Erotic Coins, Damian put five into each one of his attributes.
The first plan was to focus on increasing his Ability Power, and leave the other attributes as second, but when he got hurt, Damian realized how weak his body still was.
His healing was taking too long, and he did not have enough dexterity to avoid the attacks. So, at least at the start, he wanted to increase all of his attributes.
"Usually that is impossible to do in games, but here I don't have a level, so I can max out everything as long as I have enough coins," Damian thought, clicking on his character screen, adding the points.
<Name: Damian Romero>
[Erotic Coins: 0]
[Attributes:]
<Strength: 10>
<Agility: 10>
<Endurance: 10>
<Ability Power: 15>
This time, the increase in attributes was high, and Damian felt the difference instantly. He even felt his wounds healing at a faster pace.
After that, Damian woke Serana up and said she would return to his room.
"What is this cloak you are using? Where did that come from?" Serana asked, surprised to see Damian with that cloak.
"I got it to help us tomorrow. Anyway, I should return to my room. Gerard should knock on my door right in the early morning, and if I am not there, he will use that as an excuse to get the help of the other vampires to attack me."
"Wait, would he do that? Aren't you suggesting that he is smart?"
"We should not take risks. Come here," Damian said, pulling Serana close for a kiss, and then leaving her room using the balcony, the same way he did to enter.
Now, with the help of his cloak, Damian could fly while being invisible. Also, floating did not make any sounds, so Damian floated through the castle halls without a single vampire noticing his presence!
He was testing the cloak in real action. Sure, if it did not work as intended and the vampires noticed his presence, that could bring him trouble, but Damian was glad that was not the case.
"Let's sleep now and flee from this place tomorrow!"
Damian then returned to his room, excited for the next day, the day of his escape!
