Kapitel 14: Zurie Selene
Urgh... walking is a pain. From pushing my limit, my body just wants to collapse but I can't do that, I have to find a place to rest. Leaning against the wall, I make my way through the kingdom.
After 10 minutes I turned to an alley and collapsed to the floor with my back on the floor.
...I can't move, dammit that guy! I wander if I am going to see him again.
Lets see...the underground arena starts in 10 days. It's getting late, I can't move right now and I don't have a place to stay at....

Storage ring: 998 items remaining.
Occupation: forgotten Hero
'Access storage ring, find something that can heal my body or reduce pain!' I thought out.
Storage ring:
-Blood pill [ improve circulation of blood, essence and improve the rate of healing for the body]
-potion of healing [heals physical mortal injury]
[right now these are most suitable for your level]
Well I don't know much about this blood pill....but It seems healing potions still exist.
"Bring out potion of healing" I thought.
The ring flashed a faint blue and a small bottle appeared on my right hand.
...
...
...
I can't move my hand.
"Hmfff" I try to lift my hand,making all sorts of groans and noises but even with all my efforts I can only slightly lift my hand!
Dammit! My body shut down from the pain, I can't move it properly. Unable to move my hand much, I store the potion back to my ring.
Guess I'm stuck on this rough floor for awhile. Maybe from the fight but I feel exhausted and since I am not going anywhere right now; I decided to close my eyes for a little bit.
"Umm...mister why are you on the floor?" A soft quiet voice called out.
Slowly, I opened my eyes and see a small blond hair and red eye girl standing near me looking down on me. This girl skin is very smooth with no spots or irregularity but it's a little pale compared to other people...the paleness reminds me of someone and something. However even with that this girl looks very cute and innocent with her big eyes staring at me.The girl had a simple red dress with bits of it torn and she has no shoes to cover her feet.
"Hello mister? Can you not talk?" Seeing that I just stared at her without talking, she spoke again.
"Yes I can talk but right now I have a problem"
"What's the problem mister? Do you have back problems mister?" The little girl tilts her head and asks.
I know I am technically very old but I still look young! Why would she think with my 'young' body would have back problems!
"Ahah....no, but my body can't move"
"Why is that mister? Is it because your old?"
This girl...
I bring out the potion of healing from my ring.
"Mind taking this potion and pour it in my mouth?"
She looks at the potion "ok mister but you have to help me with something" she replies.
I sigh "fine, if it's something I can do then sure"
Her stale expression turns into a bright smile and she immediately takes the potion; she lifts my head up a bit and feeds me the potion slowly.
Gulp.
As expected, the potion numbs the pain I felt in my body gradually till the pain is mostly gone!
Standing up from the rocky ground, I get back on my feet.
I look down and this girl is quite small, only just barely above my waist.
"Follow me." She lightly spoke.
I decided to follow this girl since she did help me, instead of taking my ring and my clothes. Looking up, I notice its night time meaning I slept for quite awhile and still didn't recover from my injuries naturally.
I was too reckless this time. I still thought that even if I lost my powers, I can still beat people higher then me which in most cases should be true...but it seems there are people that will be able surprise me like that guy. Next time I have to be more cautious to avoid this situation again, heck even with that potion I am still in pain but just not as much I was. It seems I have some injuries that the potion is unable to heal. I could drink more potions as I have some in the ring but drinking potions straight after drinking one can do more bad then good.
Now I have to help this girl with something because of my carelessness..also this silence between us is so awkward!
"Hey girl, whats your name?" Trying to brake this silence, I ask.
"It's Zurie...Zurie Selene." she answers softly.
Silence falls upon u-
"What's your name mister?" Suddenly Zurie asks.
"It's Jack, Jack Frost" I simply reply.
"Jack Frost? Like the legends?"
She knows about the legends of Jack Frost, the powerful ice beast that can freeze the world. So I guess the legends from my time still exist here yet no one knows about me?
"Well sadly I am not as powerful as the legends but it's just a coincidence my name is like that haha" I reply.
Zurich stares at me for awhile as if contemplating what to say next but she turns around.
Zurie continues to lead me across the kingdom taking turns left and right. I Can't believe I managed to sleep until the sun went down. Our little journey ends once we get to a small inn named "crescent moon".
Zurie leads me inside and immediately went upstairs without talking to the receptionist. Seems like she has a room here already.
We went straight to the top floor. Now from what I know, the top floor in inns are usually the best rooms, they cost quite a few gold. Is she rich? Hmm maybe not too rich considering she is in this small inn.
Click. She opens the door.
In the room the walls are made of smooth stone with a double bed at the end of the room. Near the bed there is medium size round table and two chairs. They are both made of wood but it looks quite nice. Each side of the bed has a simple lamp but other then that, it's quite empty. Well there is also someone on the bed.
She points "I need you to cure that man"
I walk over and see this man who looks to be around his late 80, with hair covered in white and wrinkles all over his face. His face is very purple and eyes are uncomfortably shut while his breathing rhythm is off. Sweat is drenching from his entire body and face.
I carefully open one of his eyes and see it flash red occasionally! His brown eyes keep changing to red then back to its original colour. It can't be that right?!
I slowly open his mouth and blood starts gushing out! It lead me to take a few steps back.
These symptoms...this guy has-
"Vampire sickness. That's the disease he has. Help me cure it." Zurie said after the mans mouth got covered in blood. She walks over and wipes it off with some cloth.
She has to be joking right? She wants me to help her cure something that's incurable!
"How am I meant to cure something that can't be cured?" I reply, slightly annoyed.
She tilts her head in confusion "um..it is curable mister?"
It's curable?
"What? No its not, once you have it then it's over for you"
"Mister... have you been living under a rock? A cure was discovered years ago." She replies.
So they found a cure to that sickness! I sure have missed a lot of new development over the years. Also she knows my name yet still calls me mister! Makes me sound old.
"How do you cure it?!" I ask in a surprised tone.
"Well there are numerous ways but the best I know is you need a blood reforming Rose" she replies.
Blood reforming Rose? What the hell is that? I know varies type of herbs, heck I even made my own potions and elixirs! But never in my life did I hear this herb. Did they discover this new herb since I was frozen... but how could it escape me, I traveled everywhere and not once noticed such herb. I know the land split apart but nature itself seemed to have changed!
"Alright, where do we find one?" I ask.
"It's hard to find the herb in this continent but I know there is a vampire cult that has it. I need you to get it from them." She replies in her soft voice.
I see vampires still exist till now. However vampires are not simple creatures, especially if there is a noble then it could get very tricky considering my level.
"Sounds easy enough as long a there aren't any nobles." I reply.
"Hehe mister you should be careful, nobles are the least of your worries, vampires are at least level 70 and above.Nobles are far higher but don't worry there aren't any in the cult." She replies with a giggle.
That's a large power gap....and they are just normal vampires?? Since when did vampires become so powerful! Even someone like me can realise level 70 is powerful compared to my level. I thought the vampires would have similar powers to me right now or maybe a little higher. Since when did they get so strong! I wold expect this level from nobles!
"Zurie...how do you expect me to deal with that big of a power gap?"
"I will give you something to avoid there detection since your low levelled , I am not asking you to fight them but get the blood reforming Rose." She simply replies.
Why do I feel helping this girl will give me more trouble then I can take.
I sigh "fine a deals a deal, give me the location and item to avoid there detection"
"Ok mister!" Her face brightens up and gives a smile.
Oh boy.....
