SSS Awakening: Rebirth of the Strongest Vampire God novel Chapter 299

Chapter 299: Fate is a mean little bitch

Inside the private booth, Damon’s eyes widened. The big shots were finally starting to make a move. Until now, even though the items were good, it was not enough to bring out the real players of the game, but now the first one had revealed himself.

Gigarion. Damon knew about him very well. In fact, everyone from his last life knew him very well. The Battle Crusaders were one of the top guilds in the game. If the super guilds did not exist, then they might have even been the best guild in the game.

And the guild master of such a guild had personally come over to make a bid for the legendary item!

To be honest, Damon had a high opinion of the guy and genuinely did not want him to fall into the trap he had laid. Thankfully, almost immediately, subsequent bids started pouring out.

The moment Gigarion’s voice echoed through the hall, it was as if a switch had been flipped. Dozens of players, guild representatives, and hidden powerhouses who had stayed silent until now suddenly sprang to life.

The number on the bid display started climbing in rapid bursts, each increase more aggressive than the last.

"1.1 million!"

"1.3 million!"

"1.5 million!"

The crowd erupted in murmurs as the number passed the psychological threshold. Many players who had mocked the potion earlier now looked shaken, some even biting their nails as they realized what they’d dismissed might have just become the most valuable item of the year.

Damon saw many familiar figures making aggressive bids. Azure Serpents guild, Black Onyx guild, Blood Wraith and his sister Phoenix, Bertram and even Daddy Brutal.

Daddy Brutal confidently bid for 2 million which made Damon very surprised. It looked like the guy had a lot to give. In the future if they meet again, he needed to make sure to thoroughly plunder all of that wealth.

Finally, another big shot raised the bid further high.

Titans of the New World, a top-tier guild made a bid for 5 million. The guild leader was none other than Thalor, the infamous strategist known across the server for bankrupting two rival guilds in a single night using nothing but auction mind games.

When his calm, almost lazy voice echoed from one of the highest private booths, "Five million", a fresh wave of tension rippled through the auction house like a blade cutting through silk.

Even Damon, watching through narrowed eyes, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. So the Titans are joining the fray too, huh? Now this is getting interesting.

The audience was stunned into silence. Five million was a number that most couldn’t even fathom in a game, even with real-money cross-transaction systems in place.

But what shocked Damon even more was that Thalor wasn’t bidding for show. The man genuinely seemed to want the vial.

And considering his guild’s deep pockets and thirst for monopolizing game-breaking assets, they probably intended to dissect it, reverse-engineer it, and monetize it.

Damon’s fingers drummed against the armrest. Too bad they don’t know the truth. There’s no formula. No hidden alchemy recipe. No divine blueprint to uncover. He grinned. It’s just spit, boys. Really, really toxic spit.

And yet, here they were, elites, strategists, and legendary players, fighting tooth and nail over a glorified loogie.

Damon chuckled silently enjoying the show. These were the figures he had once revered. He used to be a big fan boy for many of them in his last life, admiring how cool they looked and how much strength and power they possessed. But now, everything had changed.

The bids continued to rise steadily and soon reached 10 million gold coins, mainly thanks to Blood Wraith and Phoenix and also Daddy Brutal. At this point many had backed away as 10 million gold coins were a staggering amount.

While a toxic elixir capable of one-shotting even level 150 bosses was a big thing, there were still many drawbacks.

The boss could potentially have its own methods to fight back. Someone actually had to land a hit or break the skin for the attack to work. There could be magic barriers which completely blocked it. The uncertainty was a bit too high.

Besides, there was still the main item that was yet to come out. The legendary item!

No one wanted to deplete their funds before the big ticket item. Blood Wraith still held the title for the wealthiest player on the leaderboards which discouraged many from fighting with him.

Of course, not all received the memo.

Daddy Brutal seemed to be bidding extremely aggressively, making Phoenix’s beautiful face frown in clear annoyance. Every time she raised her paddle, he immediately countered with an obnoxiously large jump in value.

Damon racked his brain but to his knowledge, the Canadian super guild was only a human super guild. There were four dark faction guilds among the super ten and one elven guild but the Canadian one was definitely a human guild as far as he knew. So why was there a demon standing beside them like it was nothing? 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦
