SYSTEM OF THE BONE DEMON

Kurtz slowly looked away from the cloud instead staring towards the woman and he replied, “What is wrong with going to the Underworlds, I am an adventurer” he answered and the woman brows scrunched for a moment.

“You think I am a fool right.” The woman spoke after sometimes.

“Fool? Why would I think you are a fool?” Kurtz asked the woman who gave a slight smile.

“No one goes to the Underworlds just to explore, definitely not a human.” she stated.

Kurtz looked back at the floating clouds before eventually speaking, “well, you are right and I said the half-truth. I am not going just to explore, I am going as a child who longs to see his home once again, I am going back to check on my people.” Kurtz said and he felt the air carrier wobbled for a second.

“Easy there.” he said looking at the flustered woman while laughing, the woman seems to have been shocked stiff for a moment.

“You should know when to joke Mister Kurtz, going to the Underworlds is not small deal, that place is inhabited by supernatural creatures with power to topple the human world in a moment, more so, you are visiting the Blood Kingdom, the home of the Vampires.” the woman said and Kurtz chuckled again.

“You seems to have some special regards for Vampires.” he noted.

“Regards, trust me, even visiting the Beast kingdom is better than going into the midst of those Bloodsuckers and I actually fail to understand why any sane human would choose to visit any place other than the Magic kingdom in the Underworld.” The woman spoke.

“Well, I told you my reason, I actually think it is perfectly understandable.” Kurtz replied with a gentle smile pasted on his face.

“So, you really want me to believe you were some Vampire who was somehow lost from home and now you are going back to visit your home” the woman retorted looking on to her front.

“I don’t want you to believe it, your thought wouldn’t change my past or affect my future in any way.” Kurtz said looking at the distance, in which he could see a dim icy land slowly being unveiled below him.

“Yeah, it wouldn’t. But I still think a young man like you could do well with this few words. Even if you are rejected by the one you love most, seeking to die is not the solution. Trust me, you should open your heart and you will find another, even more worthy, they will cherish you just like you do to them and finally you would find peace.” the Woman said and Kurtz face slowly turn livid startling the woman.

“What do you know about rejection, how dare you lecture me on love?” he scowled, glaring at her and again, he could feel the air carrier quaking slightly.

“Get a hold.” Kurtz screamed internally to himself, before shutting his eyes and taking a deep breathe.

“Sorry for my outburst.” he eventually spoke and the woman nodded her body trembling slightly as she tried to focus on the landing.

Soon, Kurtz could feel the small air carrier landing softly on the ground and the door to its side opened.

“Whatever your story, be aware that Vampires will suck a human blood on sight, you would want to wear the scent mask, face mask and also avoid any interaction with them.” The woman said, handing a box to Kurtz who smirked before stepping off the carrier into the ground. “Very well then, meet me back here in three days, if you manage to survive that long anyways.” She said before stepping down as well.

Kurtz had a large grin on his face as he looked around, from above he could see a larger aircraft landing on the ground and his face constricted. He could smell many humans in the aircraft and without doubt, they were all going to be delivered to the Blood Kingdom as food, after all Vampires needed human bloods to survive.

Sighing, he could now understand why the woman spoke about the Vampire with so much hatred, to Vampire, humans were just like cattle to be slaughtered and consumed even though they had been greatly restricted by humans.

This was one of the deal the humans had to agree to, after a long period of war between the supernatural creatures and humans which had almost destroyed the whole of the human civilization.

“Well they just have to accept the reality and make the most out of their lives in the Underworld, they will just be required to donate blood once in a white” Kurtz muttered moving on, actually while that was only half-true, there were also several dangers for a human leaving in the Underworld.

Especially when some young Vampires decided to go wild, some would even start forbidden relationships with humans. Such relationship were however not very disastrous since they wouldn’t be able to produce any off springs, well… except for Kurtz case.

Kurtz’s thought was suddenly interrupted by the system.
