Damon was completely stupefied. He had always known how ridiculously overpowered his bloodline extraction ability was, but to see everything with his own eyes, it was a very surreal feeling. It still knocked the breath out of him.
Each category of skills, normally sothing players would spend weeks or months grinding for, sat there, organized and neatly labeled like they were pulled out of so sort of cheat sheet. This wasn’t just versatility. This was dominance in every path available. lee, magic, stealth, crafting... even beast taming and ranged combat were covered.
Damon’s lips curled into a slow smirk.
What others saw as chaos, he saw as convergence.
Most players built their characters along one clear line—mage, warrior, rogue, archer. They followed quest chains, hunted skill books, and maybe rerolled to get a better affinity. But Damon? He simply took what he needed from the blood of others. A vampire’s curse... turned into a god-tier farming thod.
And this list wasn’t even final. He still had unspent stat points. Still had loot. Still had that damned [Legendary Skill Roll Token] burning a hole in his inventory.
He chuckled softly. "Let’s see how far this rabbit hole goes." He looked at the list again, and his gaze landed on fishing. He knew a good fishing starter quest that had an amazing reward. It was deed an impossible quest in his last lifeti. Maybe if he tried, he could succeed?
"No, focus. You need the blood from the elf and the divine blood for the body tempering. Let’s get that first."
He imdiately checked the quest log, and the drop of divine blood was already taken care of. This was one of the reasons he triggered that event zone after all. But there was no such luck for elven blood.
"It looks like I have to go for that NPC. There is simply no other way." Damon sighed. He made a tentative plan in his mind and prepared to leave for the teleportation portals in the city, when suddenly a new quest popped up on his system screen.

Damon narrowed his eyes. "What the hell? How did this quest pop up now?" He stared at the quest silently for a mont before he realized that he was the very reason this quest had popped up.
The many priest and paladin players who were behind him and had co to Niera city to hunt him down had indirectly triggered a faction quest line that is not supposed to pop up for another 6 months at the least.
Damon let out a low, incredulous laugh, shaking his head. He hadn’t even intended to speedrun this part of the faction storyline, and yet it had happened. He cracked his knuckles and revealed a big grin.
It was ti to test his new skills and abilities. Grinding players seed to be a lot more lucrative, so why not go at it?
He quickly activated Shadowld and reached the entrance to the vampire base, the small well. Damon crouched behind the crumbling stone lip of the well that led into the blood hall.
He could already hear movents and chatter. It looked like the enemy had found out their base location and was already at their doorstep.
The quest had inadvertently revealed the fact that there were vampires in the ga. Or did it? He quickly opened the local chat to check, and a second was enough to confirm what he needed.
Interestingly, the quest had only revealed the presence of a dark faction. It looked like the existence of vampires was still a secret. It would remain so if he stopped this siege, and would be exposed to everyone if he lost this siege.
However, there was no way Damon was going to lose in this massive PVP gala. There was going to be a bloodbath, and no one can stop it.
