Life Drain System

Chapter 24 - Quest Or Death....



'Truly a great reward, and I even got a mine available to me now. Now I do not have to worry about finding certain ores and what not. However if I can get access to other planets mines, then I should really start looking for more on quests. I wonder about my loot.... Well I can check it later. Sadly I did not get as much cultivation in as I hoped so I should focus on that for now, so another quest it is.' Yueliang thought excitedly about doing the next quest.

"Status" Yue said as he was getting ready to take a shower and get cleaned up. ​​

[Shop Coins: 260,000]

'Well that takes care of some of those stat points.' Yueliang thought to himself, while washing himself clean continuing to think. 'However I wonder why I cannot surpass 99? Is it that I am not worthy of it yet, and need more practice. Or is it part of the system suppression? Or could it be it requires something special?'

"Correct, on a few parts. One it does require something that you owe the system. Next, you also are not worthy, and are in need of more practice. However I, the system, am not suppressing you. Although, I will give you a hint. For strength, agility, and endurance you need to acquire aura which also partially affects chi rising as well. Also, before then, your mission is in your quest list for what you owe the system. As for soul, intelligence, mana, luck, and charm, I already gave a hint so figure these out on your own unless you want to buy the information. It is not that I do not want to help, however if you only rely on me instead of yourself, you will digress rather than improve." Yang replied very dead seriously.

'I see, well I have a general idea of what to do now. Thank you again Yang.' Yue said pleased.

After getting out of the shower, and getting dressed Yue sat on his bed to absorb mana using the array formation. While absorbing mana, he started thinking. 'I understand the basics of how to get aura according to what was engraved in my mind and what I have read. All that needs to be done is to surpass ones limits at the brink of death. Thus the phrase high risk, high reward comes into play. However one must put everything at risk to do this.

Do I really want.... NO! There is no room for doubt. I have nothing holding me back yet. It is a good thing I have not learned about becoming a lich yet. If one is able to surpass death before getting aura no trial will be enough to obtain it as far as I know. Thus I must obtain aura first!' Yue exclaimed in his mind then said. "Quests"

After going through them for a while, he found a quest that was clearly just enough to kill himself, and one that he could not beat. Because if aura was the goal, then one must certainly nearly die but come back stronger. One must feel but not be overcome by the fear but instead fight it off and win the battle. This beast that he was to fight, was immune to his level of magic thus being the perfect opponent.

[Kill the Low Born Young Weak Rakshasa 0/1]

{Must use physical attacks or 6th level magic or higher. This is the weakest Rakshasa in existence as it is a less than half breed.}

{Rewards:

+ all loot found

+ 50,000 shop coin

+ 100,000 experience}

"I accept this quest" Yueliang said aloud, then was teleported to a dense jungle. Upon Yue's arrival, he saw the young Rakshasa with its bengal tiger like body in a humonoid form. He jumped up into a tree as quietly as he could to avoid being seen or detected. Then slowly jumped from branch to branch. The close he got the more worried he felt. This would certainly kill him if things did not turn out just right.

'Add 24 points to luck' Yueliang thought to himself. Then continued moving forward and drew his sword. In the next moment he jumped down pushing off the tree trunk directly towards the rakshasa. Just as the Rakshasa notice Yue and turned around the blade grazed its extravagant clothes. Just like any other rakshasa, it had its overinflated ego, and was ticked seeing this. Thus went to attack with its claws first.

Being faster than Yue, it quickly dug its claws into Yue's arm and pulled down tearing his flesh open. "Aargh.." Yueliang quickly tried to silence himself while trying to use the Divine Sword Refinement technique to fight off his opponent. Although it kept the Rakshasa from killing him, he was already cursed due to its claws. However, Yueliang managed to keep it from casting any spells which was a major difficulty as Rakshasa's were natural born sorcerers.

As the two fought, Yueliang's health dropped with each passing moment from both blood loss and more attacks. Yue only managed to get a few strikes in however none well placed and only superficial. The Rakshasa finally got him down on the floor so low on health he would die at any moment. He placed his foot on him as though the king of the jungle. The Rakshasa was very pleased with itself and was just deciding whether to use a spell to make him its slave or to just kill him.

In this moment of decision, Yue lifted his hand, the Rakshasa thinking he was begging for his life chuckled and just watched his last movements. Then felt it could not breath and felt cold. Looking down once more saw a big whitish blue conjured sword sticking out of its body right through its heart and lung. Instead of killing Yue in that moment like it normally would, it felt that it needed to grab the potion it had near by to live.

However before it could, Yueliang canceled the spell and the helping hand spell he used to make the sword by changing its shape, disappeared and the Rakshasa bleed out back and front all over the place until it fell dead into a puddle of its own blood. Just as Yueliang felt he was about to pass out, he tried getting up, trying to force himself to become stronger by enduring this pain and everything.

In that moment of standing he felt an energy surge through him. He had unlocked aura. Extremely pleased at this rather than risk using the aura that was currently keeping him alive to heal himself, Yue said. "Yang, I need healing please."

"Alright master, I guess considering you beat all odds and killed that young one I can give you curse removal for a extremely discounted price, 2 Years of your expected life. Do not worry you can get more life expectancy later."

"Alright, I understand. Just please do it." Yueliang said as he was teleported back and healed at the same time. 'Status' He thought as he arrived.

'Well my stats are looking fairly decent for now, however the next two things I need to do are build what is required by the system, and ask the orcs to train me so that I can take full advantage of my stats. I am sure since they trained to such a point they must be able to help me reach it as well.' Yue thought as he reviewed his stats and added some into aura.

Shortly after thinking about such matters, he summoned Rei then said. "I know you must be busy, thus I shall be brief. Would you or some of the others train me. I have higher stats however without training I do not think I can utilize it properly."

"Hahah, Sorry I am not laughing at you, it is just I knew one day you would ask, so I prepared something for you. An item that we use when we need to train others quickly. It is a full immersion game like device, but utilizes and stimulates your body. Thus you can only use what you have in the real world, and it stimulates your body so that you memorize the movements and everything else, also allowing one to grow. Anyways, if you do not want to use that I could assign someone to train you." Rei said.

"No no, that is perfect, thank you so much. Sorry again for bothering you while you are so busy." Yueliang replied.

"Great, I will have it brought to your room then." Rei said, then left quickly to get back to work.
