  Ats opened all seven brown tickets, and once again, he received a generous supply of materials—something he knew would be crucial for building aructure ohe fortress was plete.

  However, there was oem he hadn’t seen before: a small, floating bag. He grabbed it ahe description:

  [Basic Survival Kit: Includes essential tools like a knife, a small flint for starting fires, a tent, and basic rations for surviving in the wilderness.]

  "Ah... this is going to be useful!" he thought, surprised by how the gacha system had provided such a practical, modern item.

  Ats sat down and opehe kit. Inside, he found a small but sleek and well-designed knife, as well as a tent. While they could eventually sleep ihe fortress o was built, that wouldn’t be ready until midnight. He pondered whether he should set up the tent now or save it for ter when he might really .

  As he was sidering, Edrik and Karian approached.

  "My Lord, would you like the te up? Let me help you. I’m sure you’ll rest more fortably while we wait for the fortress to be pleted," Edrik offered.

  "Yes, good idea," Ats agreed, handing the bag to Edrik.

  Edrik smiled and gave a slight bow befng at Karian. Without a word, Karian uood and cleared his throat before following Edrik.

  [You have received Rank-A item: Auto-Replenishing Refrigerator]

  The ticket fell to the ground, creating a glowing magic circle. From it emerged a sleek, bck cuboid refrigerator with two doors and a digital dispy on the front.

  "Wait? Auto-Replenishing Refrigerator?"

  [A magical refrigerator that refills its tents every 24 hours with fresh food. The items vary based on the enviro, ensuring a steady supply of meals without the need for hunting or farming.]

  Curious, Ats approached the refrigerator and noticed the digital dispy ting down—24 hours until its tents would be restocked. The magic of the item was already impressive, but the utility? Unbelievable.

  Soon after, Karian carried the refrigerator into the dome-shaped tent, which had somehow expanded into a fully equipped space with camping chairs, a table, and even mattresses. Ats was surprised—how had all this fit ihat small bag earlier?

  As he opehe fridge, the cold air hit his face, sweet relief from the heat and dry winds. His previously weary expression lit up with enthusiasm as he saw the fridge packed with food—mostly frozen items, but food heless. Damn!

  He grabbed a few bottles of water and tossed them to Edrik and Karian.

  "Drink up! Looks like we won’t o eat Karian’s limb anymore; we’ve got plenty of food now!"

  A short while ter, they set up a makeshift stove using stones and fire. On it, they pced the frozes and meals, eagerly waiting for them to cook while sitting around in their camping chairs. The smell of sizzling food filled the air as they rexed, finally able to unwind.

  "This is the best emergency food we could’ve asked for, My Lord," Edrik said.

  "Yeah, haha," Ats chuckled, crag open a bottle of co. "This is so refreshing," he added, taking a long drink, before mung on some potato chips. "And I’m starving!"

  The three of them sat there, enjoying their uedly luxurious meal.

  They devoured the emergency food with gusto, surprised by how plentiful it was. Ats ate at a more rexed pace, while Karian downed 200 grams of meat in a sie.

  The hours passed, and as the sun began to set, the floating isnd was draped in darkness, lit only by the soft glow of the tent and the fire crag between them.

  Ats decided to open another Rank-A ticket.

  [You have received Rank-A Item: Floating Lantern]

  [A magitern that floats in midair, providing light to dark areas and guiding advehrough treacherous terrain.]

  "Ah! This is exactly what we needed!”

  The ntern lit up instantly, gently floating into the air and casting a soft, warm glow around the campsite, illuminating the area. It was clear this item was far more useful than they’d expected.

  The ntern followed whoever had activated it, and could eve to different modes—patrolling an area, auto-follow, and more. Quite the iing item.

  As stars began to dot the night sky, the flickering firelight danced across their faces, adding a peaceful, calming atmosphere to the se.

  Just then, Ats turned and noticed Manna standing stiffly. Her eyes, glowing an eerie red, were fixed on them with an iy that startled him for a moment. He hadn’t realized she had been watg the whole time.

  Is she... hungry?

  "Now tell me, what do vampires eat?"

  Edrik looked ready to respohusiastically, but Karian jumped in first.

  "They eat humans, my Lord. They drain their blood until they’re dry, leaving them to die in a gruesome, bloodless mess.”

  "Oh, that’s... terrifying," Ats muttered, turning baanna with a nervous gulp.

  "That!" Edrik interrupted. "What kind of world are you living in, Karian?"

  "Yours, isn’t it?" Karian replied with a smirk.

  Edrik sighed. "Vampires eat normal food too, like this meat or drink co, but they mainly need blood to satisfy their real hunger aore energy."

  Ats listened ily. "So, could we... I don’t know, cut ourselves a bit ahe blood drip into her mouth?"

  "That would work too, my Lord," Edrik nodded.

  "Is their need for blood... rge?"

  "No, my Lord," Edrik expined. "It’s usually just like someone donating blood. A small amount is enough to keep them sustained for a while."

  Ats nodded slowly, pig up a piece of grilled meat and a drink. He stood and walked toward Manna.

  Meanwhile, Karian whispered to Edrik, "Edrik, you’re not joking, right? The Lord doesn’t have much experieh vampires."

  "No, of course not," Edrik replied fidently. "Your vampire is the wild type. But look at that girl—she’s a Vampire Queen. Clearly noble. Vampires like her e normal food, but they satisfy their real hunger with blood. However, they’re picky about whose blood they drink."

  "Picky? Like what?"

  "They have... preferences, like how we choose our favorite foods.”

  "And what if she doesn’t like the taste of the Lord’s blood?"

  Edrik smirked. "He’s an active Lord, and look at how well he’s managing things and also his incredible System. He’ll be a great leader. Or are you suggesting you offer your blood instead?"

  Karian g Manna. "Isn’t that better thaing the Live his blood to her?"

  Edrik sighed deeply. "That’s stupid! If the Vampire Quee like your blood, she could kill you in an instant. Remember, while she ’t harm the Lord, she still kill us easily."

  Their eyes shifted toward Ats, eared to be saying something tanna. But then, something ued happened.

  Both Edrik and Karian leaped to their feet. "My Lord!" they shouted in shock.

  In a blur of movement, Manna lunged forward, fangs bared, and saeeth into Ats’s neck!
