Male Lead

As Temorsth leaped to the giant wolf, with a big and apparent motion he trusted his spear toward it.

*GRR* And as the attack was easily read, the Wolf King jumped to the side dodging it...

[Dealt: 496 Force damage]

[-5 Durability]

*GRR* And because of the jump it couldn't react to the fast speed of the spirit spear that was ordered to arrive there at the exact moment of the dodge.

"I fought many of your kind and you aren't stupid... but the reaction speed is slow as hell!" While still in the air he grabbed the end of his spear and turned the trust into a slash, which arrived at the beast's side.

[Dealt: 607 Slashing damage]

'Hm... my physical attacks deal more?' It surprised him since before this the spirit weapons dealt more damage.

*GRRR* After it got hit from two sides, the Wolf King made a small turn and leaped backward to break free from the enclosure.

'Is he resistant to force...? No, Aidana said force is one of the elements that is resisted the least. Then does the realm difference not affect my physical strength? Hm, we will see later, but for now...' As he landed, he looked to the side to check the beast's HP.

[Health Points: 4,210/2,567]

'Um, she damaged it...' Seeing that the girl wasn't as weak as he thought she would be, a slight interest arose in him.

*GRRR...* While the beast growled a few meters in front of him, Temorsth slowly exhaled and straightened his back.

[Stamina: 100 \ 3 %]

'Since I just fought my stamina is not in a good shape... I have to end this quickly.'

*AGGR* As the Wolf King gathered its energy up, it started towards him.

"Hmhp...Good boy!" Wanting to preserve his stamina, Temorsth waited until the wolf got close, and right when the wolf was only a step away, he commanded the spirit weapon.

'Guiding Shot!' And right after the command, he also followed with a shot.

*AGR* Since the Wolf King was large, it couldn't dodge the attacks that were fired so close, so both of the attacks hit it.

[Dealt: 657 Radiant damage]

[Dealt: 590 Radiant damage]

*GRRR* The beast did not flinch back even through the small explosions that happened around its body. Since it had some level of intelligence, it knew if it runs now it would surely die.

As the beast was right in front of Temorsth, it tried to trample his body with its giant paws and claws.

"You know? It's not always good to be big." With a slight smile on his face, Temrosth pointed his spear at the beast's chest and fired another shot.

[Dealt: 723 Radiant damage]

[Target HP is 0] The beast staggered but continued its attack with a slight shift to the side.

"Hm... quite persistent aren't you!?" Temorsth dodged the claw attack with a light sidestep, but something surprised him.

"Uh? YOU!" The wolf kept running and Temrosth instantly realized that it was heading for the girl, he changed his grip and threw the spear after the beast.

'Fuck... I didn't want to use it yet...'

"Shadow Step!"

'Stab it' He disappeared at the same time when he commanded the energy weapon.

"Uh...?" Lily the little girl had just gotten up and turned around to see the mouth of the giant wolf before her face.

"Kya!" She fell back in fright and closed her eyes with the fear of death.

*BANG*

"Uh?" She expected pain, but instead, she only heard a loud sound, like a big thing falling.

Lily plucked up some courage and opened her eyes, "Hm?" she saw a muscular boy standing on top of the giant wolf that had fallen on its side.

The boy was pulling a long wooden spear out of the Wolf King's chest. As the boy straightened his back he pushed back his long black hair that fell in front of his face.

"Uncle?" And finally seeing the face of the one who saved her, Lily remembered someone who looked exactly alike.

.....

Temorsth appeared right beside the wolf and with a move that used even his energy of light, he stabbed the Wolf King in the side of the chest.

*BANG*

*Huff...*

'Can't you tone your voice down?' As Temorsth retrieved his spear from the beast's side, he listened to the system's voice.

"Uncle?"

"Uh?" And right as he pushed back his ear-length black hair, he heard a beautiful voice call to him.

[Notice: The Host has become the love interest of the main character of the Story.]

[Potential increased!]

"...?" Hearing the system's voice, he turned towards the girl.

'Love interest...? I?' As he started to approach her, the system continued.

[Congratulations: The Host has become a potential male lead in a Romance Story.]

[Notice: System update required!]

[...]

[Authorization received!]

[Updating...]

'Her eyes... they are... beautiful...' Temorsth stood in front of the girl and looked her up and down, at the same time Lily did the same thing.

'Blue eyes?' Looking into the eyes of the boy in front of her, Lily was a little confused.

"Are you alright little lady?" The boy extended his hand toward her.

'Uh...' Hearing the voice radiating warmth and safety, a strange feeling appeared for a moment making her hesitate.

"Hm?"

"Ah... Yes, thank you." Hearing him, she took his hand and stood up.

[Update finished!]

[Favorability system integrated!]

'You are getting irritating!' As Temorsth helped Lily up, the system messages continued and broke the feeling that just appeared in him.

But finally, with the last message, the sound of the system died down, but something appeared above the girl's head.

[Favorability: 10% (Mild Interest)]

'Hmm, this? Is it like in an otome game?' Seeing the purple roses around the panel above Lily, Temorsth thought to himself.

'He looks like uncle and has the same voice, but he has blue eyes...' Lily's curiosity was picked.

"Huh?" From Lily's perspective, the same thing was above Temorsth's head.

[Favorability: -200% (Complete Indifference)]

"What?" As Lily looked at the plain blue panel, she got confused, she had never seen such a low number before.

"Yes?"

"Huh? Oh, sorry, nothing."

"Hmm... What's your name?" When Temorsth saw the girl's beautiful purple eyes glow and sparkle with blue light, he became even more interested.

"Name... My name is Elizabeth, but just call me Lily everyone does so." She still stuttered a bit.

'My God is an Oath...?' "Hmm... An interesting and beautiful name."

"Uh? Than-Thanks..."

"..." And without any further words, Temorsth turned and walked toward the giant wolf's corpse.

[Favorability: -195% (Complete Indifference)]

"What... what's yours?" Seeing his favorability change, Lily calmed down a bit, she was honestly scared by this number.

"Why do you ask?" Temorsth moved to the corpse's chest and tossed the wolf's legs to the side to gain some more space.

"Then why did you ask about mine?"

"I was curious." His answer was in a nonchalant tone.

'Um, I don't think so.' Looking at the favorability above his head, she doubted his words.

"You should turn away, little girls shouldn't watch this." Temorsth took out a dagger and turned back to Lily.

"Lily is not a little girl!" She turned to look closely at what he was doing.

"Hm...Do as you wish then." Seeing her reaction he stabbed the dagger into the corpse's chest without even looking back at it, and he only turned back when he began to carve the monster's core out.

"Uhm..." After seeing things flow out of the body accompanied by a lot of blood, Lily turned to look in another direction.

'Cute...' Seeing this, a faint smile appeared.

...

After cleansing himself and the wolf's core, Temrosth took the wolf's body into his space ring and placed the core in a sealing bottle.

"You can turn around."

"Uh, I was just..." Hearing his words, Lily turned.

[Favorability: -190% (Complete Indifference)]

'Why did it go up?' Noticing that even the spilled wolf blood was gone, she asked.

"Did you take it in your space ring?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"I want to eat something and it was strong, so I want to taste it."

"Do you want to eat that?"

"Yes, do you have a problem with it?"

"Not really, it's just…"

Hearing her voice lose its strength, Tem asked back. "Is there someone coming for you?"

"My father will be back in a little over 45 minutes." She didn't even think about the answer.

'Ah, he went up?'

[Favorability: -189% (Complete Indifference)]

'Does he like it when I answer without thinking?'

"Can you get out of the forest?"

"Uhm..." She looked around and after a moment she replied. "I don't think so, I don't know this part of the forest."

"I'll take you out."

[Favorability: -188% (Complete Indifference)]

'He went up again. Hmm, then is it telling the truth, but how does he know if I'm telling the truth? '

Seeing the boy turn and walk without any delay, she called after him.

"Wait...!"

...

"Umm..." Walking through the forest without a word, Lily was a bit bored, Temorsth didn't ask anything, so she had to.

"Why are you here in this forest?"

"I'm hunting."

"Why are you hunting?"

"To test my strength and become stronger."

"..." She remained silent for a few seconds, but since Temorsth didn't continue the conversation, she continued instead.

"Are you here alone?"

"I have a protector."

"Where are your parents?"

"Not here."

"Why aren't they here?"

"They are busy."

"Why do you only answer in short sentences?"

"It is practical."

"..." She was at a loss for words, the conversation wasn't moving forward and it was frustrating to talk to someone who didn't want to talk.

"Why did you call out uncle at the time?" Hearing his voice, Lily turned her head up from looking at the ground.

'Finally! A question...' "You resembled someone I know. He is Uncle Yi."

"Yi?"With raised eyebrows, he got interested.

"Did he come from the east?"

"Oh, no, Uncle Yi didn't, but if I remember correctly, his grandmother came from the East."

"What's your full name?"

"You didn't even say your name."

"Tem..."

"This is your name?"

"..."

"...?"

"Temorsth..."

"Um... like in terror?"

"Yes..." There was no need to clarify anything anymore. His name was in the language of the dead, even though they had spoken Common until now, she understood his name.

"You..." He stopped.

"Uhm..." Because they were no longer moving Lily could hear the eerie sounds of the forest.

"What is it, Tem? Is there anything ahead of us?" Not understanding why he had stopped, she took a step to the side to look over his shoulder. And in front was nothing but a dark shadowy forest.

"Um, it's scary here, why did we stop?"

Temorsth knew he wasn't supposed to meet other vampires, but he had to save her as the third command order. Yet, after seeing that she didn't have red eyes, he thought it was okay since she wasn't a vampire, but now...

'Uh... Why did you fall back?' Lily got scared.

[Favorability: -200% (Complete Indifference)]

"Are you a vampire?"
