I Became the Progenitor Vampire-Chapter 202 - 203: The Player’s First Arrival (Major Chapter)

Chapter 202: Chapter 203: The Player’s First Arrival (Major Chapter)

Green City Life Temple.

The Life Goddess, as the only great being in Glory that is simultaneously worshipped by the evil, neutral, and good camps, has temples that are the most numerous and commonly seen in Glory.

Even in the Bottomless Abyss, a place of Extreme Evil, one can find the presence of the Life Temple, a divine being who reigns above both good and evil.

In Glory, the most common phrase humans say—”Praise the Goddess”—is in reverence to this revered Life Goddess.

At this moment, inside the Life Temple of Green City, on an altar that was seldom used.

Swoosh~

...

A faint light flickered.

Then a young figure dressed in sackcloth appeared inside the temple.

The female priests and priests around saw this figure and their faces immediately displayed wide smiles.

An adventurer from an Otherworld had arrived.

Glory Light slowly opened his somewhat murky eyes, and what he saw was the snow-white ceiling above him, carved with bas-reliefs praising the Life Goddess, filled with a uniquely religious flavor.

His gaze slowly settled, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.

“This environment is so realistic, it’s hardly any different from what ‘Glory’ advertised…”

His heart stirred, he slightly propped himself up to a sitting position, and the touch of the cool stone altar beneath his palm surprised him even more.

This sensation was fantastic.

Glory Light was the ID he often used in games, and being selected as a beta tester this time was also by chance; he had never even experienced this legendary virtual game with extreme realism offline before.

Now, entering “Glory” and just a few details had given him a shock; this real feeling was incomparable to other trash games.

A virtual game achieving this level was an absolute piece of high-tech.

With a curious gaze, he turned his head to look around.

This medium-sized chapel with hundreds of fixed wooden seats on the floor and carvings on the snow-white walls around celebrating the divine.

All the decorations bore no significant difference from Medieval European chapels.

At this time, around him were more than a dozen priests in priestly robes, both men and women, looking at him curiously.

Among them, an elderly priest with snow-white hair and a kind and amiable face stepped forward, seemingly having something to say to him.

In Glory Light’s eyes, all these priests had a faint glow about them, especially the old priest in front of him, who looked like he was wearing clothes made of fluorescent lights.

It was suffused with an indescribable sanctity.

“Young man, are you the adventurer from an Otherworld?”

Priest Mite looked at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy with a bit of curiosity. He had received a divine revelation from the Life Goddess last night that today an adventurer from an Otherworld would be born in the Life Temple. All the clergy had to be ready to receive him.

The Life Goddess’s temple in Green City was extremely vast, and this smaller side hall was his responsibility, so he was already waiting.

Glory Light didn’t seem to hear Priest Mite’s question, his nose slightly twitched as he caught a whiff of the faint scent of jasmine.

Looking at the old man in front of him with curious eyes, the wrinkles on his face, the vicissitudes in his eyes, were laid bare before him.

He could even feel every breath they took and the dust in the air that floated with it; this was simply not something a game could do.

“This game is incredible; I haven’t actually traveled through time, have I?!”

Priest Mite’s frown deepened, and his forehead wrinkled more.

Because he couldn’t understand what the other was saying.

“Young man, are you the adventurer from an Otherworld?” With no other choice, the old priest repeated his question.

Glory Light only then heard the old priest’s question clearly, but it was no use because he found he couldn’t understand at all.

“Elder, what are you saying?”

“&*%%￥￥##&*?”

“Elder, can you speak Chinese?”

“**%…*##@!&*HOY*UG?”

“What the fuck, what is this crap, we can’t even understand each other??”

Glory Light’s mouth twitched viciously; he very much felt the urge to curse.

Did it need to be so realistic?

Different languages too; what was he supposed to do now?

Glory Light and the old priest stared at each other, both speaking words neither could comprehend.

“Young man, don’t you know the common language of Glory?”

“**…*…%￥#%??”

“Young man, where are you from?”

“*￥%###￥%#…”

Finally, the old priest, with an expression of speechlessness, cradled his forehead and stretched out his hand to place it on Glory Light’s head.

Glory Light watched as the old man placed his hand on top of his head and immediately felt a chill down his spine. This NPC couldn’t possibly be wanting to silence him for good, could he??

Then he saw a faint glow appear in the hands of the old priest, and his head felt cool as if he understood something.

“Young man from another world, can you understand me now?” The old priest spoke again, and Glory Light almost burst into tears.

I’ve got a Husky… Does this game have to be so hardcore that I have to go through all this just to understand?

“Old man, I can understand now. I can understand, thank you for your help.”

The old priest looked pleased, “Young man, you’re welcome. It is the blessed command of the Goddess to help you.” He then added with some regret.

“However, I just used a Second Circle Spell, Language Comprehension, which only lasts for three Sunshine Hours. After the time passes, you will still be unable to understand me.

Young man from another world, if you want to live in the Main Plane of Glory, you still need to learn our language.”

Glory Light’s face changed, mmp, now I have to learn a language?

I can barely recognize all 21, uh, 22 letters of the English alphabet, and now you want me to learn the language of the game?

“Old man, I…”

“Young man, you may call me Priest Mite, I am an Intermediate Priest of the Life Temple.”

Mi Te interrupted Glory Light’s words, with unmistakable pride on his face.

Intermediate Priest of the Life Temple?

Glory Light immediately remembered the information released on the official website; the Life Goddess was one of the most powerful Deities in Glory, on the same level as the Death God.

She is revered and worshipped by all living things, even Undead Life holds respect for the Life Goddess.

“Priest Mite, you can call me Glory Light.”

“Glory Light? That’s a strange name. Only those of you from another world would use such a name as a moniker.

Young man, can you tell me about the Otherworld you come from?”

Mi Te was especially curious about this because, due to his power, he might never be able to step into another Plane in his lifetime, but that didn’t mean he didn’t yearn for other Planes.

“The world I come from is called Earth…” Glory Light didn’t think much of the other party’s question and directly answered.

But what he didn’t know was that as soon as he opened his mouth, the air fell silent, and no matter what he said, his voice couldn’t be heard by others.

However, in Mi Te’s ears, he heard something different.

“The world I come from is from the Lost Plane…”

But Glory Light was unaware that what he said was different from what Mi Te heard. After babbling on about how hard it was to win the internal test on the official website and how lucky he was, he concluded with “… and then I arrived in Glory.”

Mi Te looked touched. “Young man, I didn’t expect you would be from the Lost Plane; I understand your origin now.

The ancient wars caused many Planes to separate from the Main Plane of Glory. Perhaps the great Life Goddess sensed you needed help, which is why she allowed you to descend into the Main Plane again.”

Glory Light was dumbfounded. What lost plane? I was talking about Earth.

“Priest Mite, I said I’m from Earth.”

Mi Te looked puzzled.

“I know you’re from the Lost Plane.”

“I mean Earth, Earth!!”

“Why so worked up? There’s no shame in coming from the Lost Plane.”

“I…”

Glory Light suddenly came back to his senses, mmp, this must be some trick of the game system.

Even Earth is censored by the game, how extreme.

Well, Lost Plane or not, it doesn’t make a difference.

“Priest Emi, I’m really not interested in learning a new language. Could you teach me how to use this, uh…”

“Second Circle Spell: Language Comprehension.”

“Yes, yes, that’s the one. Can you teach me Language Comprehension?”

Hearing this request, Priest Emi looked somewhat disdainful.

“You need to be a Level 5 Spellcaster to learn Second Circle Spells, Glory Light, you’re just a commoner now and not eligible to learn spells.”

Glory Light’s face looked somewhat displeased.

“Do not worry, when your spell expires, you can come to me,” smiled Priest Mi Te, his expression clean and pure, “Under the Goddess’s crown, the oracle has commanded us to help you as much as possible.”

“And what about after that month?” Glory Light sharply caught the time frame mentioned.

“After one month, each casting will require a silver puck.”

Glory Light was stunned for a moment. The official website provided an explanation of the exchange rates for gold pucks, silver pucks, and copper pucks, but he didn’t know whether the value of a silver puck was considered high or low.

“Lord Mi Te, may I ask what I can do to assist you?”

After understanding the other party’s words, Glory Light immediately slipped into player mode.

For a player who wishes to level up, grow stronger and earn money, what could be faster than taking on a mission?

Mi Te shook his head, “Glory Light, you are too weak, even weaker than an ordinary citizen. Come back when you have become a professional.”

Mi Te’s merciless words left Glory Light slightly embarrassed, but as a player, how could he afford to lose face?

“Lord Mi Te, please help me transform into a Priest. I am willing to become a follower of the Life Goddess…”

However, Mi Te’s words once again made Glory Light feel the hardness of this world.

“No, Glory Light, becoming a Priest requires a talent that I sense you possess for casting spells, but it doesn’t meet the requirements of the Life Temple. You cannot become a Priest.

Perhaps you should look outside, a warrior’s profession may suit you better.”

Upon mentioning the word ‘warrior’, Emi’s face showed a disdain that Glory Light failed to notice.

Those brutish barbarians have always been looked down upon by spellcasters.

I need a talent to become a Priest?? Glory Light deeply felt the malice of this world.

Isn’t Priest a starting profession?

Mage, Priest, Archer, Thief, Warrior… those were the five, weren’t they? Why don’t I qualify??

He wanted to make a retort, but the calmness in Mi Te’s eyes made him abandon the thought.

“Could you give me some advice?”

“Young man, you can find a job outside to support yourself; maybe then, consider becoming a professional.”

Mi Te had not asked for any more valuable information, and by now he had lost interest in this adventurer from the Lost World, waving his hand to shoo him away.

The Lost World is a plane that lost contact with the Main Plane in the ancient wars; though they are called planes, most are weak entities, rarely holding anything of value.

Over the years, many Lost Planes were found, but most were barren. Emi mistook Glory Light’s lack of knowledge as coming from an insignificant plane.

And since Glory Light’s casting talent was poor, it naturally extinguished Mi Te’s interest in further entertaining him.

On hearing Emi’s tone, Glory Light walked out of the church with a sulky expression, and he glanced over his attributes.

Glory Light

Level: 1

Profession: Civilian

Reputation: 0

Skills: None

Status: (Understands Language)

A blank slate in all attributes, whiter than the test papers he handed in during exams.

“That’s it? Not even a tutorial for beginners?”

Stepping out of the splendid Life Temple church, Glory Light wore a blank expression on his face.

Standing in this city, he didn’t even know what to do next.

“MMP, isn’t this too hardcore? Who am I? What am I doing? Where am I going?”

By the time Glory Light stood on the main streets of Green City, the bustling scene made him instantly forget what he was supposed to do next, staring greedily at everything around him.

The city in front of him had a standard Medieval European style, with steeples adorning most buildings, and statues of giant dragons or angels above rooftops, circular stained glass windows below.

The walls lining the streets were mostly painted with colorful, vibrant murals.

It was rich in cultural flavor, something that could only be accumulated over time.

Glory Light’s eyes radiated with intense delight, feeling as if his eyes weren’t enough to take it all in.

On the spacious cobblestone streets, citizens dressed in grey linen moved cautiously, their eyes numb and lifeless, only showing emotion in the presence of Nobles and weapon-laden mercenaries, though it was merely fear.

Warriors decked in grey leather armor swaggered by street corners, heads held high with pride, drawing sidelong glances from the small traders in the shops and passing civilians.

Nobles riding tall horses wore luxurious attire, patterned with various gold and silver threads, partly open sleeves, and cultured neckties exemplifying the depth of Noble heritage.

Each scene was brimming with the charm of the Otherworld.

Under the sun’s radiance, my skin felt a burning sensation, while the distinct sour stench of a sewer pervaded the surroundings…

All these sensations left Glory Light’s expression indescribably thrilled.

“Holy shit, this is what a real virtual game is like! The previous ones were crap, no, this is an entire world!”

After looking around for a good while, Glory Light reluctantly withdrew his gaze, but in a blink of an eye, his complexion soured.

He suddenly remembered that he had no idea what to do now…

This was a completely open-world, and it left him feeling lost, accustomed as he was to games where you’d be bombarded with endless tasks upon logging in.

Just then, the chatter of two civilians in grey tunics, their skin darkened from the sun, reached him.

“Did you hear? The Crimson Mage Tower is recruiting Mage Apprentices again. You thinking of letting your kid try out?”

“Man, I’m jealous. They say you get 20 silver pucks every month just for being a Mage Apprentice…”

The bewildered Glory Light saw a glimmer of hope and approached with a wide smile, interrupting their conversation.

“Excuse me, do you guys know where the Crimson Mage Tower is?”

The two, initially startled by the sudden appearance of Glory Light, quickly wore a smug expression upon seeing that he was just another commoner like themselves.

“A new refugee?”

A refugee? As handsome as I am? Glory Light was furious on the spot, but upon seeing the two, each with arms thicker than his thighs, he decided to let bygones be bygones.

“No, I am an adventurer from another world. Do you two know where to find the Crimson Mage Tower that’s recruiting Mage Apprentices?”

An adventurer from another world?

The two gave a look of disdain.

Doesn’t even know the Crimson Mage Tower? These refugees are getting dumber.

“By the Goddess above, now even refugees dare to call themselves adventurers?

A Level 1 commoner adventurer? Hahaha, that’s really surprising…”

Glory Light, watching the scorn in the two NPCs’ eyes, felt as though he had received a fatal blow.

Believe it or not, on my first day in the game, I was actually mocked by two commoner NPCs!!

“MMP, if I don’t show you the power of a player today, you won’t know how many eyes Lord Ma has!”

In anger, Glory Light charged at the two civilians with a holy assault.

Three minutes later…

“I’m wrong, sirs, please not the face, ah, ah ah, not the face…”

“Stop, stop, I give up, I give up!”

“Dad, I was wrong…”

After being dragged into an alleyway and roughened up, Glory Light finally escaped with his life from the hands of the two bystander NPCs.

Feeling the aches all over his body, Glory Light was overwhelmed with sorrow.

What the hell kind of shitty game is this? I, a noble player, can’t even beat a random NPC.

“Do you see that tower? That’s the Crimson Mage Tower, tsk tsk tsk, lots of Mage Apprentices being recruited there these days, you could let your son try”

“Heh, Jie Li, you don’t know yet, do you? My son was chosen by the Crimson Mage Tower just yesterday…”

“Praise the Goddess, you are really lucky”

Just after crawling out of the alley, Glory Light’s spirit immediately lifted upon hearing the conversation between the two passers-by.

“I must have revenge!! You two damn bastards, I will show you how formidable I am.”

Glory Light suddenly turned his head toward the tower some three blocks away, with crimson walls and a twenty-plus blade tall, pointed-top round tower.

So this is the Crimson Mage Tower that recruits Mage Apprentices?

Priest Emi once said that I have a talent for casting…

Moreover, on the official Glory website, Mage is ranked as the number one profession.

“I will become a mage, I will have my revenge…”

The furious Glory Light, with two panda eyes and wearing tattered linen clothes, headed towards the crimson tower.

Lide had no idea at the time that the arrival of players was not as he had imagined…

The beginning for these dumbasses could be called Hell difficulty.
