My Vampire System novel Chapter 473

Chapter 473 A lost god

The sun was burning brightly as it usually did on the planet. There seemed to only ever be four types of weather here. Hot, Very hot, Wet, or dry, and today was a scorching hot day. The large trees, plants and beasts enjoyed the weather all year round, but for some, it was torture. _{ƒrēewebnovel.com}

The shelter on the planet was located in a spot where it was surrounded by large trees, and the area had been cleared out in a circular fashion. It was designed this way to hide themselves from beasts as they had plenty of cover.

The shelter wasn't a large one, with only a population of around five hundred or so people. Still, today they were in a happier mood than usual. Most of the living areas, shops and so forth were located up high in the trees. Large round platforms were made that contained shops and living areas. Part of the inside of the tree would be used as well for more space and storage. If one needed to get between each platform, they would need to use the solid wide wooden bridges.

The reason for their happy mood was for the first time, they were finally able to expand. They were starting to build on the ground floor, connecting all of the areas, from the bottom to the top.

They mostly used part of the abandoned military base that was on the ground before, changing it into their style. The organiser of such a big project was Ruby, the leader of such an establishment. She had golden-brown skin and her hair was braided down to her waist.

She always had a strong air around her, and a certain confidence. There was a reason why people chose to follow her.

"That's it bring it down slowly and just place it over there," Ruby said, as the people were building a type of lift to get from one place up to the other. They didn't have much of the technology that was back at earth, and they currently had no known way to get back or travel to other planets. So for now, they had to make do with what they had.

"Hey has anyone seen Minny?" Ruby asked as she looked around.

"I think I saw her go off with Arthur a little while ago." Another replied.

Hearing these words, Ruby was satisfied knowing that Minny would be safe. If there was one person she trusted her own daughter to be with then anyone, it would be Arthur. It was thanks to the mysterious stranger that had arrived that they were all alive today. He had defended them from beast attacks multiple times, and not just once but continually.

It was because he was overlooking and protecting them, that they were able to start the expansion project. Living up high was thrilling, but it was quite cramped, so space down below was needed.

For saving them, he had asked for nothing in return apart for them to treat him as one of their own, and now the others saw him as some type of fo guardian.

Not too far away from the shelter, there was a river, and currently, Arthur was there with his large blade in hand while Minny was sitting on a boulder watching him.

"Hey, Arthur, how come I never see you use your sword when you're fighting beasts?" She asked.

She had seen him practice his swordsmanship every day, but whenever he would have to fight a beast, he would use his bare hands, and only once had everyone seen him use the shadow. The others assumed it was an original ability so there really wasn't any need for him to explain himself, and thanks to Ruby if anyone was a busy body about it, she made sure they didn't ask.

"Its because this thing is as useful as a big stick until it's activated," Arthur replied.

"Activated, then why don't you activate it?" She asked.

'Because it needs human blood' he said in his head but chose to ignore her and continue his daily training. His body was still stiff since he had come out. He had no frame of reference for how long he had been asleep for. Initially, he wasn't planning to stay here. His goal was to find out what happened to his people, and who was the one that had woken him up.

The problem was, it looked as if there was no way off the planet. There were no spaceships, no portals, nothing. There was one thing he could do, but he chose not to do it unless it was his only way off this planet, and his body was close to a hundred percent.

Besides, he was actually having a good time with the people here. Still, he couldn't say the same for the weather, as at most he could bear it for two hours before he needed to go back into a shaded area.

"I still don't understand why they took that ring, it would have been really helpful right now." Arthur said.

"What was that?"

"Nothing, come on lets head back, my two hours are up."

When returning to the shelter, everyone welcomed him with open arms, and they would often bring him gifts such as fruit and such. Unfortunately, Arthur would always deny such gifts and the only ones he accepted where meat related. This was for obvious reasons that the others didn't know about.
