The Vampire's Assassin

I don't know much about mortals, especially other races from other worlds.

"Magnus Lewis Walker, king from the Verdania Kingdom. Are you ready to go to the Fourth Gate? You can go out the door right now. You need to be out of the room within five minutes before this room disappears again ."

I immediately stood up when I heard that announcement. No rest and food? And now they are going to release us immediately? That means the previous floors are easy. In this fourth and subsequent ones, it will surely be torture after torture.

I opened the small door where the food came out. It's empty, looks like I shouldn't have said it was easy.

Each floor will be different. It's just the beginning, I'm not even halfway through the 12 gates.

I went out the door and as soon as I went out I ended up in an old hallway. When I looked back, the door had disappeared. Is it just an illusion? Probably yes, because a door can't disappear.

I walked the length of this old hallway. I also sharpened my nails. I have to be alert for anything that might pop up. I can't just stare even though I'm strong. I did not know what danger awaited me.

When I reached the end it was a door. A door like the one on a ship, with a turning circle to open it instead of a lock.

When I opened the door, I immediately went inside. Huge and towering walls are here. Heaven is above. It's an illusion, I'm sure. I can't be outside.

I walked further and when I looked back, the door was gone. I explored the place. It's dark, and quiet, and I'm the only one here. Later I will have someone with me. If they don't chase me, they want to kill me. The area looks like a maze.

I touched the wall and felt it was made of stone. There are also vines around that have climbed up the wall. I tried to climb it but my eyes widened when all the vines were cut from this part and fell.

I immediately dodged so as not to be misunderstood. It created a very loud sound. I heard the beast growling in the distance. That said, there are monsters here. It immediately jumped from above and fell on my side. I stepped back while staring at the monster. It looks disgusting.

It has a body like a snake, tentacles like a squid and its head is a mouth. Its eyes are on the chest. I will never allow myself to be touched by this monster, it will kill each other.

"Congratulations on reaching the fourth floor, King Magnus. The Fourth Gate of this tower. Now you must find the way to the Fifth Gate connected to this floor. We will give you one hour to find the way but every hour the structure of the maze will change. Also, use your senses and mind as a king. You also don't want to hurt the first monster you see because his voice is deafening and every time he screams more and more monsters will come after you. Come on, King Magnus. The Fourth Gate is about to begin," the voice announced.

That's when the beast moved and planned to hit me with its tail. I immediately dodged and ran quickly.

I used my natural speed as a vampire to outrun the monster and calmly find my way to the Fifth Gate. That means straight away, the rest they give is gone. Especially on the approaching floors, everything will be more difficult.

While I was looking for the way, I thought of climbing the vine again. I climbed slowly so as not to make any noise.

When I reached the top I immediately fell asleep. Take it easy because that monster can track me down. Too bad I can't kill it. They don't make things easy for us.

When I saw and saw the whole maze, the blood almost ran out of my body. It almost grew into a city. I can't see the land in the distance. How can I see the way to the Fifth Gate if this place is so big? I know they won't make it easy but I don't expect them to want me out of here. I couldn't find the way even if it took me four hours.

I stood up and looked around. Suddenly there was a strong wind at my back. When I turned around, my eyes widened.

"Shit!"

It was too late before I could even run or jump. A giant bird with feet like a dog captivated me. With his big hand, he covered me. I tried to wiggle to let him go.

"Let go of me!" I shouted.

I elbowed this bird's stomach so hard that it expanded and I was released. I fell on top of a high wall. I couldn't hold on immediately so I fell to the ground. I winced because of the pain when my back fell to the ground.

Another monster appeared and when I looked up, there were three monsters similar to the ones I saw earlier. It has eyes on the chest and a snake body. They look disgusting.

When I turned around there was also someone approaching me. I cursed and climbed the vine on the side. I moved around the walls until I got past the monsters. There I got down on the ground again and ran away from them.

I ran fast but they ran faster. I noticed that they go faster when there are more. They are getting stronger. I don't know what kind of monsters these are but I have to run away from them. What should I do? I have to think. I'm sure I'm wasting too many minutes.

"15 minutes left."

I was even more insulted when it was announced. I used all my speed and searched every wall for a possible way. I don't even know where I'm going. I just need to see the way.

Here at the bottom, it will be more difficult for me to find the way because of the monsters chasing me and I know there will be more of them later. I will lose even more chances to find the way when every twist and turn of this maze changes again. I have to go upstairs.

"Right!"

When an idea entered my mind, I immediately climbed the vine and waited for the bird to bite me. Up here I can see everything and those disgusting monsters can't chase me. I can also escape from this bird more easily unlike them.

I let the bird take me away. The more he flies at me, the faster his thrusting becomes more windy. When I got a closer look at the center, which was about a few meters away, I grinned. I hope the way is here. The way must be here!

When I was under the center, I elbowed the bird again. I fell straight to the ground but that's what I thought.

The ground shattered like glass. Everything was dark and I felt like I was drowning. When I saw the light, I immediately went down to it.

When I got up I caught my breath. I'm in another place. What surprises me is that I'm sitting here in a bathtub. I was holding both sides. I seem to be on another floor now. I succeeded before an hour was up.

"Magnus Lewis Walker, king from the Verdania Kingdom. Are you ready for the Fifth Gate? You can go up and out the door right now. You need to be out of the room within five minutes before the matchmaker catches up with you. On your first run the mechanics for this floor will be told."

I was finally at the Fifth Gate. After this, I will be halfway through. But what is there this time? The place looks scary. I felt like I was in an abandoned house.

Magnus

I got up from the bathtub. My clothes were so wet that I was embarrassed. Water will drip from my body. I only have a few minutes to get out of this room.

It's dark around, there's a torch in every saying. I saw a table by the side of the door so I walked towards it.

There is a mirror on the table and three keys. Looks like I'll use it for this floor. I immediately put on the glasses and was impressed. I just tried a pair of glasses with night vision lenses. I could see the room clearly even though it was dark.

The key jingled as I put it in my pocket. The room rang because I didn't realize five minutes had passed. It shakes and feels like an earthquake. When the door opened I screamed.

In all my life, I was just scared now. A tall monster entered. His eyes were two buttons, with a large mouth with many sharp teeth like needles, it was also bloody. He is not wearing any clothes so his broad chest is exposed. Its hands and feet are long and sharp at each end. I was about to run when his mouth suddenly grew.

He beckoned me closer to him with his sharp hand. It's just a prick and no fingers so I don't know what to call a creature or monster like him. All I know is that he is disgusting to look at and I don't want him to touch my handsome face as well as my body.

"Get away from me!" I shouted and immediately kicked him to cut off his tentacle.

I ran. I was still soaking wet from earlier but doubled over now because of my sweat. The only time in my entire life I've been so alone was because I was touched. I'm leaving this floor right now!

I quickly ran away from that creature. I heard its scream. When the monster's screams stopped, the advertiser's voice echoed, always giving warnings, greetings, and instructions.

"Greetings to you, King Magnus from the Verdania Kingdom. The Fifth Gate begins now. You must not be caught by the fetcher or the creature chasing you. You must find the locked doors and use the keys you hold.

You can stay on that floor forever, but you can't leave until you find the doors. This floor is like a game. You'll have to hide when the fetcher yells and when you die you'll be back. First, you're welcome, King Magnus.

Your speed, senses, and strength will be tested here."

That monster is called a fetcher. But the fetcher looks different from the shows I've seen in the theater. That seems to be the matchmaker in this world.

I never stopped running. I noticed that I still had drops of water on every step. I have to take off my clothes. I have no other choice!

I took off my top and jogging pants. I just threw it and ran faster with my vampire speed.

When the monster screamed and I heard its footsteps, I entered a room. I hid behind the cabinet. I forgot to close the door so I cursed in my mind. The messenger entered the room.

It looks really scary. I just felt him. I felt that he was going to peek behind the cabinet so I hid on the side before quickly going back again just as he was about to catch me on the other side. Sensory strength, that's where it can be tested. If it was a vampire I would have been caught because he would surely hear my heartbeat.

When the monster left I slowly went out. I listened to the footsteps. It's far away, so I went in the other direction, which is the same direction I was running earlier.

I was just running straight when I saw a burn. Surprisingly, there was a burn here when there wasn't much use in the place except the furniture.

I looked at it and just in time, I saw a map. I grinned and immediately entered a room where I could hide. It's hard for me to hang out while checking this map. Maybe the fetcher will suddenly catch up with me and swallow me.

There are many twists and turns but it's easy. There is a sign where I am so I know where to return when I get lost. The paper is large but the drawings are only in the center. All I have to do now is find the door. This long hallway on the north side is amazing. I have to go and see it. Maybe it's one of those doors with a key.

I heard the scream of the beast again so I immediately hid. It entered again and circled before exiting. I was inside the cabinet so it didn't notice me.

When it came out, I ran to the long hallway. I'm holding the map. When I looked at my body, I scratched the back of my neck. I was naked and my beautiful body was exposed. They didn't even give me shoes on any floor I walked on. They deliberately left me alone. Maybe the same with other kings. They seem to train us on our feet to hone our faster running.

As long as I ran, I arrived. Suddenly I heard the cry of the monster. He was getting closer to where I was. There is nowhere to hide in this long hallway.

Using my speed as a vampire I immediately scanned the hallway. There were paintings so I looked at the backs one by one. When I turned over this painting of an old man I saw a key. I was immediately able to weakly say "finally".

I took the keys out of my pocket. I was immediately embarrassed because I didn't have a pocket today! It was there in the clothes I was wearing earlier. I'm really good! Where did I take it off? I saw the monster that looked down this long hallway. When we looked at each other, it immediately screamed. I used all my speed to get away from him and find a room. I immediately hid inside a cabinet.

My mind is always cheap. If I hadn't left the key with my clothes I would have gotten past and opened that door.

When the monster entered and exited this room, I then exited. Little by little, I was dancing to his sudden screams and the rhythm of his catching me. There was little I could do to avoid it forever.

I got out of the cabinet and looked at the map. I immediately went back to what I had gone through earlier. When I saw my clothes, I immediately felt for the key in the pocket of my jogging pants. I rejoiced when it was still here.

I ran the distance from here to the long hallway. The monster screamed again so I quickly examined it. There were three keys so I tried them all before I could open it. I slightly flattened the end of the key that I used as a sign that I was done using it.

I entered the small hole. I returned the painting just as the delivery man passed by. It looked around as if it was looking for me. It didn't seem to know that I was somewhere else.

When I looked around it was different. I was in an old mental hospital. If it was just an old house before, it's even more terrifying. The Blood Covenant Society really wants to scare us. This is really where the strength of all kings can be measured. To join them you must not be afraid of anything else.

When I looked at my map I was amazed. The map of my location grew and there was a sign of where I was. I just need to find the door again. I just don't know how because now there are only rooms here and there is no hallway. It is very difficult to find the door, especially if it is a room.

I walked and checked the rooms one by one. I looked at everything a person could find but I couldn't find anything. When I heard a louder scream I stopped there.

I immediately entered a room and hid under the bed or should I call it a stretcher. Two minutes before the delivery man arrived. He was looking for me but I was hidden and he came out without finding me. When I got out of the stretcher, I kicked a small piece of wood. That created a sound so I immediately hid in a bigger cabinet. It was surprising how quickly the courier came in looking for me. His search for me is faster now unlike before in the previous place. I have to hurry to get to the last place.

When I heard the scream of the beast, I immediately hid again. I kicked a scattered bottle so it screamed. Why are there so many random things here? I had so many accidents!

Under the wheeled stretcher I hid again. When I noticed that there was a key on the floor I was standing on, I grinned. Finally!

But I was about to check it when the monster headed my way. I immediately hung under the bed of the stretcher so that the monster could not see. When I felt it leave, I returned to the floor itself.

I immediately checked it and pressed the key again. Now I'm in a place with stone walls. When I looked at the map there were no rooms here and only hallways. Looks like here I have to run fast.

I immediately ran while circling the area. When I noticed the big door with a key in the middle, I immediately stopped. When I stopped, the monster was at my side, only a few meters away. I immediately ran and hid to one side.
