The Game Rune System

The day has come for the vampires to finally face humans in the proper battle.

[Vampires Versus Humans!]

[The Moba Tournament!]

[The race to win one hundred games first wins the whole tournament.]

"It means the vampire king and the queen will begin from the beginning," One of Yara Yu's guards said.

"Yes." She nodded and turned her eyes at the army of vampires standing far away on the other side.

Today was the day where everyone got this message.

The message that announced battle between two races was somewhat exciting. It was a bummer that only humans had been chosen to represent the Bende City, but in the game master's offense, those humans had the best results anyway.

Yara Yu had already been waiting for a good hour.

While it was exciting to represent one's race and be the sole 'chosen ones', Yara Yu and the rest had their eyes set on the reward for winning this tournament.

The reward humans would get after winning was the vampire runes' healing concept added to their runes.

What would it exactly mean? The skills of the humans with this concept would increase their regeneration.

A more game explanation would be that they would just steal some health points for themselves based on the damage behind their skills.

Yara Yu really wanted that ability as it would help her with front and close contact battles. The close contact was hard for her as she used elemental runes that required a lot of focus.

The lack of wind element stopped Yara Yu from fighting the way her mother does, so Yara Yu needed a new way.

It felt like this reward would be a good step forward to that.

'My elements often turn battles into endurance battles, so I must get it.' Yara Yu's resolved herself.

On the other side, the vampire king and his queen stood at the helm.

They were free from their underground and powerful blood monsters were behind them like the last bosses.

"Our inborn darkness seems to bother that woman," The vampire king faintly smiled, his lips enjoying the taste of wine. He had his eyes on Yara Yu as she was the strongest, but also because her appearance gathered a lot of attention anyway.

She was the future goddess and her looks were already pleasant to an eye.

The queen didn't seem to mind her husband's eyes.

Her eyes often glanced at Yara Yu and she replied, "She has already fought against it many times… What bothers here is that the forest is slowly turning into a dark world… Ah, it's not like I like it, miss." The queen put hand on her cheek and played the role of wounded madame.

She did it rather well as vampire people clenched their fists and swore to win that battle.

The reward for vampires' win would be freedom.

They would get freedom from their inborn darkness and control it.

The game master's demon rune had already analyzed enough and he could work well with the vampire runes.

He also used their darkness for his convenience, so it was a simple matter for Tetsuya.

Those vampires did a good job by playing the game and not doing anything rash!

After red eyes glanced at the queen, Ren said, "It feels like you have been more bothered by it than ever before. Did something happen?"

"What do you mean?" The queen asked back, clueless that she had been acting a little different after seeing Tetsuya's real appearance.

The vampire king just took another sip of wine and didn't continue this conversation as his wife clearly didn't want to speak about it.

The thing was that she was really clueless about that change.

[The Tournament is about to start…]

Everyone tensed when this message rang out in the vicinity.

The vampire royalty stood up from their chairs and prepared in an instant.

The same went for humans on the other side. All of them clenched their weapons and raised their eyes at the vampires with taunting glances.

Seeing them, the vampire king shook his head, "Why is this man here?" Ren could tell that Tetsuya was human, but there should be more to his goals.

Though it was unfair that this man supported the humans, the vampire king could raise any objection as it would disclose way too much stuff going behind the scenes.

If Tetsuya used this power against the whole vampire race, then it would be a disaster.

Only the vampire king and the queen could somewhat break through the moba game board's powers and summon their raw power here.

If they wanted, that was! For now, it seemed like it was better to follow the normal principles here.

A few royal vampires also could do it, but the thing was that Tetsuya should have more in his sleeves.

The fair and joint battle with his kin in this moba game sounded better.

"He is human…" The queen said his thoughts out loud, "He will just win a few games for them, then let the humans do the rest. Otherwise… He wouldn't prepare for this tournament like that."

"True," The vampire king replied, then everyone stepped forward.

[The Tournament; Vampires Versus Humans begins now!]

-

Tetsuya wouldn't miss an opportunity to spend some time with Yara Yu.

He could go all out and use all his knowledge to destroy the game, but that would be pointless. He also wouldn't get the most out of it in this way…

He just made sure to win his lane, dominate the opponent and guide his teammates to get objectives.

The Moba Game Board was a mix of the forest and vampire underground.

It was possible because these things were close to each other. If Tetsuya could properly extract and mimic the land, then it would be great for future games in other provinces, but he was far from that level.

On the forest moba board part, the popular monster was The Enormous Green Bird.

This objective was neutral and anyone could take it down. This monster gave a nice bonus that increased the speed in the forest, so the rotation was easier.

Tetsuya told his people to prepare early for this objective and it quickly became a tactic that vampires began to follow.

On their side, they had a Blood Golem that was after their race's treasure.

This Blood Golem added bonuses related to health regeneration and allowed players to win late game battles through sheer force.

More clever people used the 'Poke and Retreat' tactic that aimed for a short battle, then forced retreat. With this buff and higher regeneration, the team that retreated just hid in the jungle, then the one who returned to the base soon would lose their towers.

One by one, they would find the main objective.

"The main objective is different," Yara Yu said.

Her eyes were on the big golem. It was golem made out of vampire rune yet again, but it was slim and faster. It was their last objective that had to be taken down to win the game!

Tetsuya just continued to make things harder, but vampires and humans were all desperate to win and engaged in a lot of epic battles that would end up as their personal hero tales in the future.

The lady also felt like telling this to her mother and possibly her future descendant…

Stupidly enough, Yara Yu lost herself in her imagination and her elements lost power. She got thrown away from the main objective and this resulted in her ending the game later than assumed earlier.

-

"The king! We are five games ahead!" The vampire servant announced.

After around twenty games, the vampire king's mind felt too much burden… His body looked great and it brought a lot of confusion to his consciousness that wasn't used to so many epic battles during one day.

He knew that the death within the game wasn't real, but his mind and body didn't seem to share this thought right now.

It was just a little confusion, but it put a toil on his mind.

However, the king also knew that it was more likely that the opponents were strong.

"Humans… Even if we used our whole force to fight against them… This is just one city…" The vampire king spoke the words Tetsuya had already predicted before.

The queene added, "There are nobles from various lands, but it's just a little part of their strength. If we ended up bother for the whole eastern side, then it would be hard for us to keep going."

Ren glanced at his wife who had been feeling tired from constant battles as well. She was all sweaty, too red and slow. Of course, each of her movements was queen and noble, so Ren had great sights on his right side.

Nonetheless, the vampire king understood her words… There were humans, a mere part of eastern province.

Though Yara Yu was the eastern part owner's daughter, there was also Tetsuya who had prepared all this stuff!

"If we win… then prepare your best dress for a meeting with this woman and her mother."

"Of course."
