Chapter 8- Serendipity Inn (8)
Heading back to her room in a good mood, she resolved her immediate need to find a virgin man
She couldn't believe that a man like Clyde, handsome, well built with that inexplicable charm, would still be inexperienced
She had used her skill 'Intuition' while asking him that question and it gave her the information she needed
Clyde was a virgin
Perfect
Although she had felt that he was such an eyesore when he hypocritically asked for the ragdoll in the name of 'protection' she would be generous and let go of this matter—no longer pursuing it
He should be thankful he didn't mess around or else she would have taken that sword item and shattered into pieces, stabbing its shards in his stomach after she shoved some down his throat
She still hadn't forgotten that incident in the forest when he stepped back offensively when he saw her face for the first time
Very well Clyde, taken into account that you're still chaste, I will write off your offenses
Entering her bathroom she took a vial from her inventory and collected the black blood on her hand, she wanted to study its peculiarity after she resolved her debuff
Putting it away she washed her hands while humming a tune
She laid on her bed and checked the time
6:56
She was gonna take a quick nap then sneak in Clyde's room before midnight to suck his blood, after setting an alarm she closed her eyes and fell asleep
~~~
Waking up to the sound of knocking on her door, she groggily checked the time
8:30
"..."
Son of a bitch, who woke her up!
She had set her alarm to 11:30 pm so she could catch up on her much needed beauty sleep
Not having enough sleep was a sin to her skin!
If it weren't for her debuff, she would've enjoyed 8 hours of sleep instead of compromising on 5 hours
Feeling immensely annoyed she got up and opened her door
Outside was the male staff that had delivered her clothes earlier in the day
The male staff upon seeing Elaine's gloomy face felt momentarily awkward—he felt like he did something unforgivable
"Umm its time for dinner, would you like to come down and eat or have your meal sent to your room?"
Elaine opened her mouth and replied in a curt voice "I'm not eating" before slamming the door close
Blinking his eyes, the male staff stared at the closed door, feeling slightly disgruntled he grabbed a 'Do Not Disturb' sign and hung it on her door
If she didn't want to get bothered she should've at least made sure to let people know! If it weren't for her friend's request he also didn't want to come here!
After huffing, he glanced at the sign and guiltily took it down
Forget it, since she didn't put it up there must be a reason, it's also unprofessional on his part if he retaliated like this
Dejected he walked away
...
Elaine walked back to her bed and laid back down, determined to get her beauty sleep
***
"She's not coming down? Does she want the meal sent to her room?"
The staff shook his head before replying that she wasn't eating before walking away to do his other tasks
Laura bit her nails, feeling anxious
Clyde brought a woman back, based in his personality, it's either someone he's close with or someone important
But they were only 6 players in this dungeon and since John disappeared there were only 5 left, so the only possible explanation would be someone important, and with how goal oriented he is, the woman he brought could potentially be the key in clearing this dungeon
No I can't let that happen
Clyde must fail this dungeon
She was no match for Clyde but fighting him wasn't the only way to prevent him from achieving success in this dungeon
She could hinder him by removing important clues and feeding him misleading information, she had done that and everything was going well when he suddenly brought that woman!
Running her fingers through her hair she glanced at her screen
[COMMISSIONED TASK: STOP CLYDE FROM CLEARING HIS NEXT DUNGEON
PRIZE: 1000 POINTS
PROGRESS: 39%]
Looking at the progress she pulled her hair in frustration
It was 69% before
It dropped by 30%!
It's definitely that woman that's helping him! She needs to get rid of that woman
***
11:20
Elaine stared blankly at the time on her clock
She woke up before it could do its job
Irritation bubbled inside her chest and she angrily canceled the scheduled alarm
What a way to ruin her mood
She got up gloomily and started to look for clothes to wear, after washing up and changing she walked out of her room to find Clyde
Feeling calmer after splashing her face with cold water she looked around in the well-lit hallway
"..."
Where was Clyde's room again?
"Haaaaaaaaaaahhh"
Heaving a deep sigh she held her head, she wondered if she had left her brain at home—why didn't she think of finding his room before she went to bed
[SKILL 'INTUITION' ACTIVE]
[SKILL 'LUCKY BAG' IN EFFECT]
To make up for her idiocy she would have to use her skills
She's been relying too much on her skills lately, it makes her look incompetent, how annoying
Walking in a random direction she passed the numerous rooms, down the stairs, up the stairs, went left, went right before she angrily stomped her foot
What the actual fuck!
She couldn't find his room at all!
Huffing she suddenly paused when she felt an intense urge to go to the backyard
"..."
Could the reason be why she couldn't find Clyde's room is because he isn't in his room at all?
Fuck! That man had been nothing but irritating since they first met, before it was stepping back when he saw her face, now he wasn't in his room when she needed him to be in his room!
Holding back her anger she walked in the direction of the backyard
But before she could fully open the door leading outside, she smelled the strong smell of blood
