Preparation for Valenhurst / Monster!

Vexen started to devise a plan on how he would sneak into Valenhurst.

He knew that the weaker vampires were a treasure trove for a revenant like him, so he would only eat the weaker ones to avoid attracting the stronger vampires.

His plan was this:

First climb the city walls, and take out the guards that are watching for intruders as they are usually weak.

Then second, he would sneak into the weaker vampire's houses, and use mind magic to keep them asleep, while he kills them and then feeds on them.

He will repeat this as long as no problems arise from his actions until step 3.

Step 3 is where he will climb the walls and then raise a couple undead to trigger the alarm at the front gate so it seems like a normal zombie attack.

Vexen decided to wait until the next night to launch his attack, so he could have more time to enact his plan.

He went hunting while he was waiting, and devoured a few more animal's flesh and souls to pass the time.

He looked at his stats again.

{Name: Vexen Ravenlocke}

{Level:1}

{Exp: 30/200}

{Race: Revenant} (Undead)

Strength: 65 →85

Vitality: 30 → 45

Defense: 22 →30

Vexen was astonished, he was now level 1 and his stats made a big jump.

He now had 400 mana, he thought that it was a lot considering since he was just human a little while ago.

Then he remembered that he was not human, so he didn't know who to compare himself to in concern to amounts of mana.

He thoughts were interrupted by a strange deep growling noise that made him shudder.

He turned around to see a wolf that was about 15 feet tall, had deep black fur, and had glowing yellow eyes.

Vexen knew this wolf was different from the ones near his cabin in the forest, so he decided to appraise it.

{Lv.5 Demonic Dire-Wolf}

Health: 200/200

Mana: 100/100

Strength: 125

[This Dire-Wolf has traces of demonic blood flowing through its veins. You will need to use almost everything at your disposal to defeat it.]

{EMERGENCY QUEST}

[Kill or drive away the Dire-Wolf]

{Rewards}

[5 immediate level ups. Forming of Eldritch mana heart and veins. Spell of your choice.]

Vexen didn't know what the second part of the reward would entail, but he was too focused on the beast in front of him to think about it any longer.

There was only one word that Vexen could call such a beast, "Monster".
