Reincarnated Hero System



She remarked as she noticed that Evan was now wearing something different from earlier, and coincidentally, it had the same colour scheme as her clothes.

He was wearing a simple black grey t-shirt with a black undersleeve, atop a pair of black jeans and sneakers coloured in a mixture of the two.

Due to the fact that they were going to enter combat quite soon, he didn't put on his usual long overcoat jacket and left it in his inventory.

"While I like your current hairstyle a lot, I prefer the French braids."

"And you still haven't told me why they're called 'French'."

Eliza retorted as she walked up to the pile of treasures on the floor and picked up one of the ether stones, feeling an enormous amount of energy stored within them.

"Here, have a few."

"What kinds of fruits are these, the elemental energy I'm sensing in them is crazy."

She asked Evan who passed one of the green fruits to her, turning to glance at the three spirits who were snacking on similar fruits of different colours.

"Well, when natural forces intertwine with various energy types, elemental fruits like this emerge, each one imbued with the essence of a specific element.

They're quite rare and coveted treasures."

[And they're very delicious too. Even more delicious if you possess the elemental affinity of the particular fruit you're eating!]

Kayla added right before she stuffed her face with another golden apple-like fruit, one that Eliza wondered if it was even safe to eat after seeing that it was clearly sparking with lightning.

[Master, the fact that there's a high concentration of these fruits here…you know what that means, do you not?]

"I do."

Evan replied to Kuro's question as he turned his gaze in the direction where the spirits found the fruits.

"Gimme a sec. I'd be right back."

He then kicked off the ground and leapt over the lake in one jump, using farsight to boost his visual prowess and spot the fruitless trees in the distance.

"Blink."

He teleported all the way over to the trees, walking past them and going down the path there.

Left behind, Eliza asked Kuro what he meant and the answer she received gave her an even greater shock than encountering a Sovereign Level Existence.

[Law Crystals. Items imbued with the powers of what you call 'World Law Doctrines'. Things that can only be used by transcendent level existences as only at that stage, can one comprehend the powers of laws.]

"Law Crystals…All the way down here?"

As Kuro had expected, Eliza knew exactly what law crystals were and she knew just how sought after these crystals were.

'I remember Dad saying that 'Beast King' Kolvar offered him ancient artifacts and treasures just to get the law crystal he and Mum found in the Dread Ocean...

And something like that is here?'

She ignored the strange gaze Kuro was giving her as she looked in the direction Evan went to, just in time for him to return with three different irregular-shaped rocks.

Embedded on these rocks were fist-sized crystals that Eliza recognized, crystals that held the knowledge of a World Law Doctrine.

Utilizing this crystal imparted this law knowledge to the one utilizing the crystal and allowed them to comprehend the law held within.

Of course, if the person attempting to use this crystal was not a transcendent, then they were just wasting their time.

"Six Crystals in all. There are probably more but finding them is gonna be a lot of work."

Evan spoke as he picked up another black fruit that was emitting a dark misty haze, taking a bite out of it right after.

|Magic Tier- Darkness Tier 2 > Darkness Tier 3|

He dismissed the notification he got before using the essence of destruction to break open the rocks and free the crystals within.

"I have no idea what some of these are, but I can tell this green one is obviously wind, and the crimson one is destruction."

Picking up the crimson crystal, Evan tried to use the essence of destruction to see if there was going to be a reaction but nothing happened.

He then tossed all the crystals into his inventory and plopped down on the couch, checking the system time and seeing that it was still 10 am before pulling out the food he bought earlier and setting it atop a table.

"This is a good haul.

We got a bunch of elemental fruits, ether stones, naturally occurring artifacts and treasures."

"I think we got a bit too much. What are we gonna do with all these?"

Eliza asked as she sat down on the couch beside him, but Evan only shrugged his shoulders in reply.

They had a meal and rested for a few minutes before packing up and moving on to the entrance behind them.

Upon passing through this gateway of frozen splendour, a new domain revealed itself to them.

Snowflakes gently glided by, covering the entire landscape in a thick layer of snow, with them looking up to see a small hill in front of them.

As they made their way up the hill, Eliza noticed a life sign at the top, and after informing Evan about it, discovered that said life sign certainly wasn't supposed to be there.

The two sped up the hill and arrived at the top shortly, coming in contact with the owner of this life sign on the circular clearing with a stone shrine at the centre.

Said person was about to enter the white magic circle that lay in front of the shrine, glittering invitingly until Evan spoke up.

"I would not do that if I were you."

The instant Evan's voice rang out, the person reacted immediately, taking distance from both the circle and Evan, all while rousing their energy in preparation for battle.

As the person looked in their direction warily, Evan and Eliza were able to get a good look at their face, and upon seeing them, Evan's jaw dropped.

It was an extremely beautiful fair-skinned girl with mesmerising crimson eyes, straight waist-length silver hair and bangs that fell just above her eyes.

She was wearing an ebony dress, featuring a velvet corset intricately adorned with lace that accentuated her slender figure, making her exude an air of dark allure and enigmatic beauty.

However, it was not her beauty that made Evan's jaw drop, and after knowing him for nearly two years, Eliza could tell that was not the case.

It was what Evan had seen the instant he appraised the girl.

The name listed in one of the tabs of her status.

|Race- Elder Breed Vampire|

◇ ◇ ◇

"Humans?!"

The teenage vampire girl reacted with shock upon noticing Evan and Eliza's nature, her wariness increasing to a whole new height as she coated her arms with blood-red energy in preparation for combat.

It was then that Evan finally snapped out of his shock, regaining his calm as he looked at the magic circle on the ground and at the Vampire girl.

"Yes. We're humans.

And you would have died mere moments later if you entered that magic circle, Miss Vampire."

Hearing Evan's words, it was now Eliza's turn to be shocked as she never even considered the possibility of the girl being a vampire.

"Are you saying you were going to kill me?"

"No, not me.

The existence on the other end of that magic circle would have."

Evan spoke as he took a step forward, but in return, the girl took a step back.

"Wait…Evan! Are you sure she's actually a Vampire?"

"Of course, I am. I appraised her the instant I saw her face."

Evan replied to Eliza's question, one she should have obviously known the answer to but he could not blame her for asking such a question.

After all, there weren't supposed to be any vampires existing on the Alpha Continent.

The boy pulled out a foldable chair from his inventory and tossed it over to the girl before speaking.

"Sit, let's talk a bit.

I've never seen a real Vampire before."

Despite Evan's words, the girl did not move from her spot, still staring at both he and Eliza with wariness in her gaze.

After a few more seconds of silence, she finally asked.

"…Don't you foreign continent humans hate us, vampires? To the point where you'd want to kill us on sight?"

Hearing her questions, Evan rose an eyebrow in surprise, bursting into laughter right after as he remembered a part of the game's lore before replying.

"Is that what the Noble Vampire Sovereigns taught you?"

Although she did not reply immediately, he already knew the answer to that question. With a wry smile on his face, he asked her what she was taught regarding the Alpha Continent's humans.

"…Isn't your Human King envious of us Vampires, of our superior abilities and tried to wipe us out after his envy became hatred?

Didn't he also order that all vampires should be killed on sight?"
