《Eldritch overlord》


 prologue

    (POV Daiko)


    Andora online was the most popular game in its generationand perhaps even ever. It was the first MMORPG(massively multiplayer online game for you normies) that was entirelyvirtual. It was called the most ambitiousgame ever. This stemmed from the fact that it was a massive game world comprised of 10 main worlds and a couple of dozen subworlds and this is beforeyou count the dungeons oh god the dungeons. The dungeons inAndoraonline were...different than the dungeons in other games. They didn''t just stay the same they were randomized and on the same floor, you could find a goblin and a baby dragon. In Andora, dungeons weren''tthe end game content they were high risk and high reward scenariosthat you chose to go into, now while many complained (like little bitches) nothing was actually changed about the dungeon system.


    Now I know you''re wondering what about the weapons and magic right. Well, the game wasn''t strictly sword and magic, this was a major turn off for a lot of people but it was balanced...for the most part, so long as a sniper doesn''t land a hit on your mage anyway. The system of magic was simpleyou had magic in tiers 1 through 10,000...JK hehe. The magic was split into several categories/tiers. The most common ones were Human-immortal-divine-and spectraland while there were others they were a lot less common such as eldritch which I used and well...let us say I''m lucky I had a world item. Oh, I haven''tgone into the items yet have I.


    It was pretty simple really just your normal item tiers common-uncommon-rare-relic-immortal-divine-god and finallythe world tier which can''t even be compared to previoustiers which in comparison were literallytrash. The only items that could be compared were guilditems but those were special and will be talked about in a sec anyway world items literally changed or affected the way the game functioned or other things like talking to the devs for different things depending on the item. (the game had a unique function that allowed players to modify their weaponsDid you know this story is from Royal Road? Read the official version for free and support the author.


    Now guild items were the accumulation of a guild effort basically you ground the best materials you could for who knows how long and "forge " yourguild item it could be anything from underwear to a throne. The only thing that affected the strength of the guild item was the quality of the materials used to make it well ours was a bit unique though.


    guilds were well guilds what was unique was the guildbases. basically, in order to make your base, you had to conquersomething or state your claim. Stating your claim spawned a guilds banner in an area they had to defendfrom varyingamounts of waves as well as rising difficulty. One funny story was when a 10,000 man strong guild tried to lay claim to one of the ten main worlds he what ensued was well chaos about 1,000 world bosses spawned and decimated them and because of a feature that world bosses have that resets your character because they eat their "soul" the entire guild had their character reset.


    Now I guess that''s all I had to tell you well for now anyway well I guess that this is also the last day that Andora will be online


    "Well my friend''s thanks for staying till the end with me"


    " Daiko trust me talkin ta friends fer ten minutes ain''t that big a deal"


    "yeah all though it''s disappointing that only 4 out of the 400 of us came here for the end"


    " I will always come when my friends call!"


    "so where is everyone"


    "I heard that DnD came out with a full virtual game and everyone was playing it"

    {YoU Don''T JusT gET tO LeaVe}


    "what the hell is thAAAAAAAAHHH"


    "Lord daiko!!!!!!".

 chapter 1-new world?

    Uhg what happened


    "Daiko are you okay"


    oh...its Cecilia... wait how the hell is she talking right now. I shouldn''t even be in the game...Then their was that voice*shiver*that voice. "I''m...fine


    "Hmm, okay if you say so"


    That should be impossible that response was too real it''s impossible to program these kinds of responses into games. Actually, there are a lot of inconsistencies such as how much I can feel. In the game, everything was kind of muted so that players wouldn''t think that it was real because there would always be some kind of disconnect. That''s gone now I can feel everything and that''s not including the fact I can smell as well...why am I not freaking out I mean I know that I have emotions I can feel them right now, just it''s like their being devoured by something I can literally feel my emotions are being eaten. Wait if the game became real oh that explains it. It would be the result of the passive skill eldritch mind. The skills description was actually pretty strange it was something along the lines of your emotions are devoured by the eldritch being that became one with you. oh, I have to explain that now don''t I*sigh* fine.


    My character was originally A true vampire and that came with a whole racial tree that I''ll probablyhave to get into at some point but not right now. My character was changed I guess you could say by an in-game event that had basically a borderline zero percent chance of happening. Basically, my character was a mage/summonerbuild based on the eldritch it wasn''t popular because of some of the drawbacks such as the fact you could lose your character or other less notable ones but that''snot important, what happened with my character was that a summoningwent wrong and I became one with an eldritch being. Now, this came with its own bunch of pluses and minuses. Such s my level cap increased because I was technicallytwo characters. Some of the minuses were that I couldn''t use any normal equipment, as well as the levels I gained past 100, had all of there levelsautomaticallyassigned toa racial tree for the eldritch being and I got a bunch of skills and stuff such as eldrichmind.Unauthorized usage: this tale is on Amazon without the author''s consent. Report any sightings.


    Anyway, I need to make sure everythingis fine with the base. HOLD ON I just realized this am...I now two different beings, becauseI can feel it moving around inside of me. Hold on no...thats not right it IS my insides, this is disconcerting, to say the least. I...I can''t focus on this right now this can wait I need to make sure everything else is working properly first, then I can focus on what''s going on with/inside me.


    "Cecilia I''m going on a walk do you wish to come with me" huh weird I didn''t talk like this before


    "YES! I mean uhm I''llgladly accept the offer"


    Hm, what was up with that. I guess she was excited? I don''t understand women in the slightest so best not to make assumptions about what she''s thinking. I guess we''ll just check the first floor first. Oh, our base wasn''t actuallya dungeon but was a cave with hundreds of spacial-runes that expanded the space inside without affecting the outside anyway...we spent way to much time on the base. Well I guess I should make sure everything is working properly.

 chapter 2- the treasury

    Okay, I guess the first place to check would be the treasury*sigh* I don''t want to though. Honestly, the treasurer is...strange, she was made by that person after all.*sigh* I just have to get this over with quickly.


    The treasury is the final room in the base me and my friends built also the most well defended, of course. The treasury holds all of the most valuable items and all the currency that the guild has accumulated over ten years worth hard work and masochistic devotion to the guild honestly. Now that I think about it we weren''t the most mentally stable people in the world but oh well.


    The treasury is guarded by The Dragon...Sarah. Sarah is a golden dragon, of greed basically, the more gold they have hoarded the stronger they get. the only has she from her racial tree and the clerk job. Yep, our dragon is a clerk. Honestly, though she is technically the strongest guardian(A.N I don''t know what else to call them) and when I say technically I mean that she is only the strongest when she''s inside the treasury and surrounded by gold and valuable items. Now in the game, this multiplier had a limit so will that stay the same as in the game or not I wonder. Oh, we''re here already honestly...I wanted it to take longer oh well here we go.*creeek* damn I hate those doorsThis tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.


    "Sarah where are you"(Daiko)


    "hmm oh daiko it''s you what do you want I''m sleepy"(Sarah)


    Yes thank you god she''s sleepy I can get in and out of here nice and quick if that''s the case


    "I''m just here to check on the gold stores" (Daiko)


    "Oh, well currently there is 234,562,378,956,248 gold in my hoard of gold and counting."(Sarah)


    And counting? Oh, right gold dragons are constantly shedding golden scales and can I still use the observe skill huh what''s that I see two towers one of the towers is a violent storm of colors and the other one gives off a powerful red glow I guess that would be hr mana and vitality after a certain point they start becoming faded before stopping is the faded part the multiplier from being surrounded by gold? Well if so then the limit no longer exists, wait a sec it''s growing slightly not very quickly but it would eventually make a difference if given enough time. Well, I guess the bio on dragons did say that they get stronger with age so I guess that is what that is. (daiko)


    "*yawn* hmm what''s going on I smell daiko...WHERE IS HE, hmm perhaps I was mistak"*SLAM* nope just missed him dammit oh well I''m going back to sleep. (Sarah)


    That was way to close she almost caught me I don''t even want to think about what would happen if that came to pass*shiver* move on don''t think about it, I guess I should see the twins now...wait I forgot to get the guild item...dammit oh well I''ll get it later.

 chapter 3-

    Okay, I think this base is just a wee bit too big. It wasn''t that bad when everything was managed by all of the guild members but now that I''m here alone...well I guess that the NPCs became real so it''s not that bad. I mean It''s not like I need people to talk to.


    "Daiko were here"(Cecilia)


    "Hm oh were here already" I thought it would take longer(Daiko)


    *Opens door* Now I have a question for you have you ever been so shocked about something that you literally just freeze ya don''t say anything you just look on not sure what''s happening or what you''re supposed to say or do. Well, that just happened thankfully it didn''t last long though. Now I''ll describe what I''m seeing right now I am seeing CHAOS. Literally, I have no better word for it, now that is not why I was so shocked it''s because the twins should have been pretty cool-headed...um...things? I''m not sure what gender they are now that I think about it. Actually, do they have a gender I mean their race was quite strange? Oh by that I mean each twin is a different race so I guess you could say that the name the twins are more of a nickname based off their appearances and, not because they were actually birthed at the same time by the same paent...oh well not important.


    "Can I have your attention...) They didn''t even notice me I dislike raising my voice though it''s tedious. (daiko)


    "DAIKO''S HERE YOU IMBECILES SHOW SOME RESPECT!!!!!!" honestly I can''t believe the nerve of some people. (Cecilia)


    Huh I guess I don''t have to raise my voice Cecilia did hmm some people would say that''s an innuendo but whatever huh they all stopped and are quite literally shocked speechless I guess I should say what the twins are now right so you don''t get confused in a sec.Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.


    The first twin Laney is quite literally a living signal array and instead of sending signals to satellite dishes while she is fully capable of doing so. She sends these signals to...other bodies I''m not sure how else to say that. Basically, she is capable of creating homunculi that are connected to a network of shared knowledge of all of the homunculi. Now, most people would assume that mind control would be a big issue right one person casts a spell or slaps a slave collar onto one of the homunculi and boom everything controlled right? well no actually. It''s an ability that unlocks a bit far down the racial tree what was it called it was um I think it was called self-centered or something like that. Basically, it takes the hive-mind like structure and gives all of the homunculi a sort of pseudo will I guess so that that one homunculus is controlled and not the entire network. Now a couple of other things happen but those are the little details.


    Now the second twin is Lana she is of the race XY-637-9Q I know not very descriptive but oh well basically she is a human that had her genetics fucked with to create the perfect manager and she helps Laney and is a super genius when it comes to management.


    "We''re sorry daiko"(laney&lana)


    "It''s just that I lost connection to all of my homunculi".(Laney)


    "Don''t worry to much about it if what I think happened it wouldn''t matter anyway" if we actually traveled to another world anyway(daiko)


    "Anyway I need you to do a couple of things for me".(daiko)


    "What is that you need"(laney&lana)


    "I need Laney to create some homunculi and send them outside to ensure the base is secure and confirm my thought also to infiltrate any society that she finds."(daiko)


    "That''s no problem I can do that easily it''ll just take a bit of time."(Laney)


    "That''s all, for now, have a good day"(daiko)


    "Have a good day daiko"(laney&lana)


    Hmm, I''m actually quite tired but I''ve only been awake for a few hours at maximum...unless all the hours I was in before that count hm ow well I don''t care I''m going to sleep.


    "Cecilia I''m going to bed just do whatever you want"(daiko)


    "Okay I''m joining you then"(Cecilia)


    "Yea sure whatever" I''m just so sleepy. Ah, this bed is so fluffy!!

 chapter 4

    *yawn* I feel so heavy...wait no there''s something on top of me. Hmm okay, I can tell It''s Cecilia. now brings up the question of do I move her or do I stay right here for as long as possible? Actually, she looks petty tasty...wait a second I just described her as tasty and no I not thinking of devouring her no matter how much my body is trying to disagree. I mean I actually am looking at her as food right now...OH, it''s because I''m a vampire now I am actually starving and, that means I need to drink blood. I am glad I like to roleplay I just need to get down to the blood bank. Yes, I have a blood bank full of "blood bags" hmm I guess I should go there...now how do I move Cecilia do I just...throw her off I mean I''ve never been in this situation before...that''s kind of sad. Oh, yea I guess I did achieve"wizard" status ha ha*sigh*.


    "Ceciliaget up I''m starving" I''m not joking here I am actuallystarving


    "huh, just eat me then I don''t want togetupyet" she said this while half asleep just so you know. But still, the attack on my defense was almost overwhelming.


    "Cecilia I''m not joking get up" if she doesn''t I''m really going to bite her uhgmy fangs hurt. She''s just starting to look tastier I swear I can see the blood flowing through her veins.


    "As I said just eat me I don''t want to get up yet" you know what fine she said Icould so whatever *crunch*...oops I bit too hard. jk haha. "aah~" hm why is she "mm~" making those sounds I mean I don''t know why books depict it as pleasurable "mmm~" I mean I literallysunk my teeth into her neck...I should probablystop drinking her blood I mean I honestly don''t want to her blood tastes like hmm whats a good way to describe it it''s sweet kinda bitter and with a slight after taste of iron I guess...I''m not a hundredpercent sure, but all I know is that its delicious uhgfine.Love this novel? Read it on Royal Road to ensure the author gets credit.


    Okay with that whole fiasco over...I wanna go outside but am I vulnerable to sunlight if so I probably have something that would solvethat issue. Honestly, thoughI can just go out at night...NOOO, I REFUSE I LOVE THE SUN!!! I swear somebody just cringed from hearing a vampire said that. No...nobody...hm oh well. Okay, time to go outside I believeI have a tp ring somewhere AH HA found it okay time to go outside.


    <hr>


    Okay, I''m at the front door and well I''m scared to open the door. Ah, what a lovely door made it out of elder wood has a nice blackish brown color and STOP distracting yourselfalready and JUST DO IT go outside. *SLAM* Ah the sun feels so *ssss* *AAAAAAHHHHHHHH* *SLAM* hu hu hu WWHYY I just want to feel the sun. The sun felt like it was transferringall of the heatand rage it could into my body like I killed it''d family or something!! Goddammit!!! I guess I need that*sigh*I''m just glad I heal fast looks like I need to grab that. I don''t want to face the perverted dragon she was asleep last time I was lucky to get out of there before she woke uuuup. come on JUST NO last time I said that I felt the fiery wrath of thesun. Hold on a sec which is worse the sun or the perverted dragon...The sun...fine just gotta get this over with without getting raped by a dragon. Yep, I''m screwed.

 chapter 5

    Okay, I''ve been psyching myself up to face Sarah. I''m not ashamed I have the right to be afraid of a fucking dragon. Also as loyal as Sarah is dragons put quite a bit of value on the items in their horde, and well Tthe guild item would most definitely be the most valuable item in there. Now I guess I should say what the guild item actually was well you see my guild wouldn''t settle for anything but the best we could get our hands on and that essentially sent us on a several-year-long hunt for world items. God, I don''t want to even remember how many we lost to this obsession of ours to be perfect in a way I guess we made the guild item out of three world items and the best materials we could get our hands on. Now let''s not get ahead of ourselves here we haven''t even seen the item yet well I have you haven''t though. Oh, I''m already here damn.


    "Sarah I''m here for the guild item so come out and stop hiding" you''d be surprised how hard it is to find a dragon that doesn''t want to be found is to see.


    "Caught you Daiko~" hehe he''s mine now


    SHIT this is bad I need to get out of her grasp I refuse to allow my first time to be taken this way I will lose it on my own terms, not by someone else''s!!! (presence of the eldritch unleashed)


    "WahT dO yoU ThINk yOur DoInG SarRh"


    "Please stop please it hurts my head I''m sorry I''m sorry just please stop" What did I do he''s so angry he even released his aura what did I do so wrong my head if this keeps up I''m going to go insane his voice is just crushing my spirit it just hurt so much


    shit I went too far I didn''t even mean to do that dammit she''s crying I hate making people cry by accident especially those I care about


    "I''m sorry Sarah I went too far," I said this while hugging her I am actually sorry you know I don''t like hurting those close to me


    "it was just so scared I felt like my mind was breaking and my soul was being torn apart"


    That is actually somewhat concerning oh and by that I mean her being an elder dragon and being affected this much is just ridiculous dragons are known for having a lot of mental fortitude and not easily being overwhelmed honestly its kind of worrying if a normal person was hit with my presence their mind would probably snap like a twig.This content has been misappropriated from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.


    "common Sarah I''m sorry I really am now I need to get the guild item why don''t you come with me"


    "Okay, I''ll come with you...WAIT DID YOU SAY THE GUILD ITEM I REFUSE DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT IS WORTH AND NOT TO MENTION THE RISK OF USING IT" does he think I''d just let him take the most valuable/dangerous item in my horde!!!!!


    TCH damn I thought she would just let me take it with the state she was in I guess it''s good that she recovered quite quickly


    "Sarah this is not up for discussion whether you want me to or not I will be leaving this treasury with the nanodium world solution" I mean I know just how valuable the NAW is after all I was the one who was trying to make it the longest not to mention all the items put into it quite a bit of it came from efforts of me or others helping me along.


    "Daiko you can''t be serious and you know just how powerful the NAW is if you injected it into yourself you could die and you the only one here for us after the others left us please just listen to me"


    "First of all, we don''t know if the others weren''t also transferred here with us and I doubt it will kill me just stop arguing with me and go grab NAW" I mean it could but the chances of that happening are really quite low I made it in mind of my character, and if I don''t use it who will honestly who will.


    I guess I should say what the NAW is now well obviously it''s the guild item but that doesn''t just say explain how powerful it is. The NAW is the accumulation of the best materials and a couple of world items as well. The entire process in making the NAW was overseen by the devs but it was honestly left behind and not able to be used because of how powerful it turned out to be we were literally told that if we used it we would lose all of our progress it was enough incentive not to ever use it, after all, we didn''t want to lose our character or catch the ire of our guild for using the item. well, that''s not a problem now I guess. The base of the solution was a divine class item created from a mix of nanodium and the blood of mother earth an that''s just the base of the solution you can''t forget the three world items used in it as well. The first of the world items was dineiles the second one was mawlecresder, and the third was dasdryncada.


    nanodium was an indestructible material that had to be manufactured by nanites that could take apart and reassemble things on an atomic level(it has no other known manufacturing method and has no known weaknesses)


    dineiles was a world item that was capable of denying anything( attacks, time, damage, etc )


    mawlecresder was a world item capable of creating dimensional gaps( dimensional gaps basically creat places where nothing can exist and thus an indestructible defense or unstoppable attack(the attack just couldn''t be blocked and dodging was really difficult))


    dasdryncada gave the wielder extreme regeneration properties( multiplies regeneration by ten really useful for high leveled players)


    "Daiko I got the NAW are you sure you want to do this"


    "Yes know just hand it over" Sarah gives him the NAW "thank you" tsss woh this feels weird why is Sarah yelling...why can''t I hear her...why...is everything...going black.
