Prologue
The palace was a dark spacious room filled with human¡¯s. Covered in luminescence of everlasting light it was filled with individuals dancing ,singing and merrily enjoying themselves .In the midst of all these events the main host of this wonderful banquet began to make a gesture with his hand calling someone.
¡°I¡¯ve come, master?¡±
¡°Did you bring the prisoner?¡±
¡°Yes, I¡¯ve brought him!!¡±
The prisoner was brought in front of the throne.Seeing herf face,the hall was filled disquieted noises. The reason for this solely lies on the prisoner who was reknowned as one of the most powerful and influencial individual in the entire demon continent. The prisoner possessed candle wax skin and sharp teeth ,a key characteristic of the vampire race.Support the creativity of authors by visiting the original site for this novel and more.
¡°Then shall we begin the inquisition¡±
The hall which was filled with individuals of numerous race but none could raise their voice against the person in front of them.
¡°If you want to kill me go ahead!!You will get nothing out of me humans!!¡±
Screaming loudly the vampire ended his speech, showing reluctance of answering any questions.
¡°Oh, you must surely be mistaken. I won¡¯t kill you. How could I kill someone who I once loved?¡±
Upon hearing the statement the entire hall fell in confusion. The vampire then asked,
¡°Why did you summon me?¡±
¡°Because it¡¯s an inquisition. Answer the question¡¯s asked and you can leave?¡±
¡°Can you start?¡±
After thinking for a while the vampire began to smile thinking of ending this pathetic charade.
Suddenly the vampire broke its chain .She came closer to the individual in front of him and his servant and abruptly dissapeared.
¡°A-ah!!I thought I was a goner¡±
¡°Well your acting is spectacular ¡°
After a while a large crater fell in the place where the banquet took place. Upon impact the crater sent all to oblivion. The palace was charred and beyond recognizable.
¡°Now let¡¯s drown together to our destruction.¡±
After this incident the humans declared full scale war or their final stand against the demons.
Chapter-1 End of life
Chapter-1 End of life
In modern times, people rely on items of convenience. Cars, buses ,newspaper at their doorsteps all for fulfilling their pleasures and during these times a child was born in a very simple family with simple parents. There was nothing exceptional about that child, even when he grew older he displayed normal behavior and lived a normal life.
The name of the boy was Vincent .He grew up in an ordinary family. Had a mother and father as well an older sibling. The boy¡¯s mother had an adult charm with blond, curly hair and a mature body. She was always kind to Vincent and loyal to her husband .Vincent¡¯s father was a doctor who works in the local clinic .His older sibling was also very caring and mindful to her own duties.
In common society it can be called a very fulfilling life .But was that really it .Was it the end of the story.
A very unusual occurrence happened during this time in this boy¡¯s life .It changed everything.
It was during one evening, vincent was laying down in his room. His room was the most spacious among all other rooms in his house .Vincent finishing his day¡¯s work and was leisurely enjoying his favorite tv series . Vincent thought the action¡¯s committed by the character¡¯s of the series were immature .Then with wrathful feeling he booted up his computer and began leisurely wasting away his time .He began checking up his mails to see if something came up .While checking his mails he came across a mail which interested his very much.
The contents of the mail was:¡± Congratulations!!For the 25th anniversary of the most acclaimed game aldear online we welcome the first 10 customers to beta test our new product but before that we wish that you participate in our survey¡±
Aldear online, a popular game set in a fantasy world .In the game you play as the dark elf who¡¯s family was killed by human¡¯s and vampires .Hated and cursed the elf fought to regain the trust of human¡¯s and finally save the world from the wretched demon¡¯s. In the game if you play as male your mother dies in case of female your father. In grievence of their death, you pick up your sword go forth on your own journey. The game had a very harsh difficulty .Even Vincent who was an acclaimed prodigy at video games had a harsh time beating it .After going though his memory Vincent finally acknowledge his approval for the survey.If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it''s taken without the author''s consent. Report it.
¡°Do you like this game?¡±
Asked if he liked the game or not? Vincent thought the survey was stupid as he already had his answer.
¡°Yes¡±
¡°Is the difficulty of this game fair?¡±
¡°Yes¡±
And like this he began answering the questions.
And then,
¡°Do you like to torture someone or be tortured by someone?¡±
Vincent felt the question to be a bit weird .The question was similar to asking someone¡¯s own preference .He felt hesitant answering this question but thinking of this as a normal survey he answered .If asked whether to torture or to be tortured .Vincent thought ¡°Of course ,to torture¡±. He wasn¡¯t one of those people who enjoyed getting fucked up by others.
Vincent simply answered the question.
¡°If you were in the same position as the elf would you do things differently?¡±
¡°Yes¡±
Vincent stopped thinking about using his fist for everything after a childhood incident. Once during his teens he was kidnapped and violated by the parents of his close friend. During that time he tried resolving the matter with his fist but instead got his bones and teeth broken by the assailants .After that incident he never thought to use his fist for anything.
¡°Do you enjoy withholding information for your pleasure and desires?¡±
¡°Yes¡±
Isn¡¯t this very common. Information is everything for Vincent. He understood its greatness after an incident where he forced one of his teacher¡¯s to get suspended from school .From that time he took pleasure in basking in the light of information.
¡°Do you know about ¡°The end of all beginnings?¡±
¡°The end of all beginnings¡±. An event occurred after defeating the dark lord .In the aldear series ,you fight for the humans kill the demon¡¯s and free the world from destruction .But that is not the true ending .After destroying all 40 dark lords the magical energy within the dark lords forcefully transfer¡¯s in the earth¡¯s surface .Unable to handle the massive amount of energy .The world ends up getting destroyed . ¡°A very fitting end for this game, dark and deep¡± thought vincent. Though that is a personal speculation as the true ending was never shown in the game. ¡°The end of all beginnings¡± can point to my theory. So, I answer
¡°Yes¡±
¡°If you were in his position would you do things differently?¡±
If talked about different, reconciling the three nations as well as not enraging the dark lords .For this my answer is simple.
¡°Yes¡±
After clicking my head begun to feel fuzzy and I finally lose my consciousness.
Chapter:2 Birth Of A Dark Lord
Chapter:2 Birth Of A Dark Lord
Drops of water was falling from the ceiling.
After a while hearing the sound of those tiny drops of water in an empty silence Vincent opened his eyes. The first thing he felt after inheriting the view of his surroundings was extreme fatigue. He started to confirm the presence of all his limbs. He then began to survey his surroundings.
It was night in the middle of the forest. Surrounded by trees and the howls of the wretched animals which felt like screaming a death tune in his ears. Noticing the place was nowhere near where he lived Vincent fell in deep confusion.
¡°I think I¡¯m in a dream¡±
Thinking that he began pinching his arms very hardly.
¡°O-Ou!!¡±
But still there was no sign of him walking up from this endless nightmare. As Vincent was a fan of the survival series, he then without wasting time began looking for a stream .After walking for a couple of hours vincent found no signs of the existence of a stream .But suddenly he felt a presence coming close to him at a extraordinary pace .After a while the presence made itself known.
¡°Master, what might you be doing here?¡±
Bewildered by the unknown existence which looked haggard and barbaric Vincent asked.
¡°w-who are you?¡±
¡°Master, have you hit your head somewhere? It¡¯s me your number one ally and friend.¡±
As a couple of moments passed Vincent began to familiarize with the existence Vincent began to think ¡°why is the individual calling him master?¡± Then he thought about affirming his outer appearance as well as seek the confirmation of the individual.
Suddenly while touching his head, he noticed a sharp substance protruding from his head and ears being pointed .He then asked,
¡°What is this thing in my head?¡±
¡°What are you saying, master? Of course those are horns.¡±
The individual said with an happy face .Vincent then confirmed that he must have been transported in an alternate dimension or universe in a different body from his own .As the surroundings bear evidence to his deduced fact.
After confirming his surrounding Vincent became curious of the individual calling him master. He then asked,
¡°Who are you? What is your name?¡±
The individual then replied ,
¡°I¡¯m cearia .Your grand chamberlain.¡±
After hearing the terms chamberlain, master Vincent thought that he might be someone from a very rich family and began to have delusion of his future comfortable life .But the next words spewing out of cearia¡¯s mouth crumbled all his expectations.
¡°And you are the dark lord, master.¡±
After hearing the statement vincent¡¯s jaw dropped. As he knew he was the most hated of all existence. The bearer of humanity¡¯s ire. Thinking something was wrong with his sense of hearing Vincent began to confirm his servant¡¯s previous statement.
¡°D-Dark lord??Me??¡±
Cearie simply nodded her head. Thinking that his most horrible nightmare came to existence, Vincent began to shout hysterically . Seeing his master¡¯s screaming, cearie became befuddled.
Thinking that his screaming won¡¯t bring any good, Vincent ceased his actions. He then began to think of countermeasures. Coming to no definite solution he hung his head low. After a while he finally acknowledge this new world, his existence and everything surrounding him. As vincent didn¡¯t have anyone intimate with him in the previous world he had no more attachments. Then he finally asked,Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.
¡°Who am I?¡±
Cearie replied,
¡°One of the lords in the order of 40 ruling over the demon continent. Bearer of the dark sigil and the tormenter on the underworld. The puppeteer of mortal and all those living. The 32nd dark lord Regus el Viself.¡±
After confirming his identity from his beloved servant ,Vincent thought how cringe worthy it was but soon accepted it.
¡°¡regus el viself?¡±
¡°yes¡±
Accepting his new name he asked, ¡°where is this place?¡±
After a long silence his servant answered,
¡°This is the forest of scyllas. ¡±
Hearing this term, regus imagined about a half man half octopus like deformed creature.
¡°And why I and you are here?¡±
¡°We were making our-¡±
Suddenly they heard a large noise from a further distance.
¡°Did you hear that?¡±
Regus asked his servant.
¡°As clear as the sky.¡±
The noise began making its way towards them. Suddenly regus¡¯s chamberlain stood in front of him in a defensive posture. Because regus accepted this new world he was sure there were many predators in this forest. He asked,
¡°What is it?¡±
¡°Run!!¡±
Soon after the word came out of her mouth regus was showered by a kind of red liquid. Confusion began to strike his mind.
¡°Looks like we are too late.¡±
The maid began to say this with bewildered expression. Regus then asked,
¡°What is this?¡±
¡°Blood rain.¡±
¡°Blood rain?¡±
¡°A phenomenon created by magic in order to seal a powerful being.¡±
¡°¡red liquid¡.blood rain..dark lord¡±
Attaching the pieces of puzzle slowly in his brain. Regus came to a horrible conclusion.
¡°This is to seal me. Isn¡¯t it?¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°why? how? This wasn¡¯t part of the game. wait!¡±
In the aldear online series the world was divided into three realms the human world ruled by humans, the demon world ruled by dark lords and finally the meta world filled with creatures which were not classified either as humans nor demons .The 32nd dark lord regus el viself was killed by the army of the princess of the arwed kingdom. The incident naturally occurred before the rise of the elven hero as it was mentioned in the library of the kingdom¡¯s guild. Thinking about this regus asked,
¡°What year is this?¡±
¡°It¡¯s 1201 of the sundew, evening of dawnful sun¡±
Hearing 1201 he understood his dire situation. Realizing this instead of feeling despair a surge of happiness welled up in regus¡¯s mind .People at the face of their death showed their true unsighty self some even awakened to new desires. Like those scenario¡¯s regus also was going under those transformations.
¡°Ku-ku..¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°So, this is the feeling before facing death. I can¡¯t naturally let this be my end.¡±
As Vincent only came to this world he can¡¯t die without doing anything. Part of his confidence also comes from the knowledge of his previous life.
¡°Cearie¡±
¡°Y-Yes?¡±
¡°Follow me.¡±
Hearing his master¡¯s calm tone, cearie began to follow.
¡°Master. Where are we going?¡±
¡°Shut your trap and follow.¡±
Facing his master¡¯s icy glare cearie nodded unable to understand his master¡¯s displeasure.
After walking for a couple of hours suddenly the rain stopped .The bewildered servant asked,
¡°How? We are even out of this forest?¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°Master please enlighten this lowly one.¡±
After hearing cearie pestering for a while regus finally answered,
¡°The rain created by human¡¯s is dangerous indeed. Created by the spell of It can seal powerful beings in it. The moment any strong creature enter¡¯s the rain a barrier is created to seal the creature in it .But there is one fatal flaw in this magic. While casting the spell if the caster is distracted in any way a part of the barrier will open up.¡±
After hearing the explanation cearie asked,
¡°But it is impossible to tell which part of barrier will open up and the part only opens when the caster is distracted. In other words for a certain interval of time. Then how?¡±
¡°It¡¯s luck, I guess¡±
Giving a vague answer regus kept as it is. The real reason regus was able to escape from the blood rain was become he knew when and what part of the barrier was going to let up in this incident. The book mentioned the sealing of the 32nd dark lord after the battle with the princess but was never confirmed. There was also no evidence of the presence of the dark lord inside the barrier. As the barrier was too strong, it was difficult to enter it as well as to see the contents inside and the barrier could be casted only once in every 100 years. The book also mentions the possibility of the dark lord escaping the barrier during the evening of the mournful sun ,regus bet everything on that possibility and escaped.
¡°Marvelous!!As expected from the master I serve.¡±
Being disgusted by the idle flattery regus made way his towards his endless path. All of a sudden a griffon made its presence known to regus . The griffon was no ordinary griffon. Sharp beak ,smooth features and cloth covered with a symbol ¡°probably resembling an alliance or a group¡± thought regus. There was also a person riding it . Pure dark hair resembling the dark sky ,skin as white as silk and sharp teeth was protruding from the edges of her mouth giving the image of a ruthless vampire.
¡°This humble self has come to save you.¡±
And so a new dark lord was born. The future will come to know of the coming of the most evil lord making the continent dance in his steps.

Inside the Ancient Tomb of Regression
After leaving the forest of the Scylla¡¯s. Regus was transported into his safe haven. His original home, his place of birth which seemed to be in ruins. The structure was an ancient tomb of a great late ruler of the kingdom. As the time passes, things become stagnant on their own and so like this, the dark lord of sigil found this establishment during one of travels. Unable to make use of it and tidy the place out cause of laziness and boredom. The place began to have a feel of an abandoned structure. Watching the current state of the facility the lord of this current house began to furrow his brows.
¡°Master, welcome to your fabulous house~¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°Master-master won¡¯t you sleep at your dirty stinking bed near the broken statues of the mythical run down gods.¡±
¡°¡¡±
In this dim environment the only person who came with the dark lord and also possesses great authority is in the process of making a mockery of him.
¡°..Master won¡¯t you thumb this lowly one¡¯s booty-hole with your thin, hard overbearing thingy~¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°Master say something I¡¯m not giving up on you. Please scold this unpleasant one and punish it with utter abhorrence.¡±
¡°..Now, I know the true face of my grand chamberlain. Looks like your head is filled with nothing but pink .You should know that the world is not always pink and it will not always follow your biddings.¡±
¡°And your also a fucking masochist!!¡± Though Regus wanted to scream this out loud he didn¡¯t do so. Barely he kept his composure.
¡°¡Master?¡±
¡°What?¡±
Cearia quietly began to approach me and tried to sniff me as well as touching my other parts of body.
¡°what¡¯s wrong?¡±
¡°Confirming that if master have turned impotent?¡±
Hearing the term impotent a vein rose in Regus¡¯s head.
¡°Ara. If master becomes an impotent this one surely doesn¡¯t know who to refer to for master¡¯s treatment or..¡±
For some reason Cearie¡¯s eyes began shining and gave out a hollow glint.
¡°I could give master fellatio day and night until master¡¯s horse start¡¯s running again~¡±
¡°¡¡±
Hearing his servant¡¯s dark fantasies Regus said,
¡°Cearie¡±
¡°Yes, My dear impotent master whose river runs dry?¡±
¡°Starting today till the next week you are to confine yourself in this rundown tomb and clean all of it¡¯s dirty mess.¡±This content has been unlawfully taken from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
Cearie face quickly began to change color.
¡°Ah. You can¡¯t be serious master?¡±
¡°I am. And?¡±
Regus then begin to emit a dark aura making an effort to intimidate her. Finally as if resigning to her fate Cearie with sorrowful eyes said ¡°If it¡¯s what¡¯s asked of me then I¡¯ll fulfill.¡±
After the master-servant skit was over Regus returned to his original demeanor of a ruler and sat on his bed. Thinking of today¡¯s event¡¯s he slowly regressed in the world of dreams.

Empire calendar: Year 1201, Month of sundew, Day 17
Inside the Ancient Tomb of Regression
A day has passed since the event of my demise took place. Now waking up I went to a stroll in the tomb surveying the surrounding and becoming familiar with the place. While walking there, I began thinking about a lot of stuff. When people stay in a moment of silence they think about things which naturally have no definite importance but those moments can even enlighten the person of an unforeseeable truth.
¡°As this world is based on the game Aldear online their should be something like stats,right? Then why didn¡¯t I see it at the beginning or maybe there is something like a command prompt of it.¡±
Following this notion Regus began to happily search though various different words to trigger the effect. The area within the tomb was desolate and his grand chamberlain had gone out to buy cleaning materials for that the whole place was for his to use.
¡°Status, Command option ,base status.¡±
With this the dark lord started his search to seek the knowledge of his power. A long time passed going through this words. But none of them brought any effect. Then he suddenly remembered a word and thought if he should put it to use or not .
¡°..pleadus oracle¡±
In the dim litted room, a flickering light begun to shine .With the passage of time the light grew in size until it took a shape of being.
¡°Why might have you called me?¡±
It was a girl of transcendental beauty in his mind. Of course Regus was a person with a status symbol of a dark lord .So, he couldn¡¯t show his inner emotions as it will be unbecoming of him as a lord.
¡°So the command prompt worked.¡±
¡°I see so you¡¯re a dark lord .But summoning a goddess as myself. Are you looking for your own demise.¡±
¡°Ah. Please forgive this one. This one didn¡¯t mean to be discourteous.¡±
¡°Using a polite speech. It¡¯s rare seeing a dark lord talking to a goddess so courteously. In the past demons and humans lived in harmony hand to hand with another. For this reason I shall forgive you for your insolence of summoning this great one.¡±
¡°Thanks for showing leniency to this one.¡±
¡°Then why have you summoned this great one?¡±
¡°This one wishes to ask for support of your great goddess.¡±
¡°Support?¡±
¡°I wish to borrow your power.¡±
Hearing this statement the goddess began to furrow his brows.
¡°I¡¯m Tercia. The goddess of illusion though not remembered but not forgotten. In the past their was none who forget my name. Humans, demons and more so the elves would remember this one. Because now no one remembers this goddess it''s power has somewhat decreased to a great extent .As for that this great one was binded to the mortal realm without the power to ascend. This one has no body and is unable to sustain its existence for a long time. That is only reason you have been able to summon me. Reciting from the book of the dead revived my crumbling existence.¡±
The goddess began narrating his story with saddened eyes.
¡°So, do you want leave while being forgotten or the great one wishes to burn his existence to the face of this world .¡±
¡°¡How so¡±
Hearing the words of the devil , the goddess started to get ensnared to its pleasant offer.
¡°If wanting life then I shall give ,if seeking fame I shall provide.¡±
After a bit of Regus spoke,
¡°I, One of the lords in the order of 40 ruling over the demon continent. Bearer of the dark sigil and the tormenter on the underworld. The puppeteer of mortal and all those living. The 32nd dark lord Regus El Viself give my word that none shall forget your existence .Even if none of the mortals acknowledge your existence this one alone shall lay witness to it. Upon every town this one conquer¡¯s ,every people this one kills, every words this one speaks it would be for you ,the goddess that ruled the realm of mortals during ancient time, the seeker of life and death, creator of all illusions and miracles .The goddess of death Tercia.¡±
¡°¡¡±
The goddess was at a loss of words . Unable to contain herself any longer, she began to weep wholeheartedly. Her cries echoed the walls of the structure. She finally opened her heart to someone. Her sorrows, her wounds, her pain, her sadness. Everything which she bottled up for hundreds of years finally broke. After a while the goddess finally spoke,
¡°I shall bestow upon you my divine protection, be grateful¡±
Suddenly Regus was overcome by a great surge of power as well as a warm sensation enveloping him which for a moment made him remember the warmth he felt at his mother¡¯s arms.
¡°Now it my time to bear witness to the deeds and madness of my greatest and only apostle. Show me destruction, etch my name in this world and if you must fail then you shall face my wrath at the end of your road .Now drown in your power,kill everyone you must. Give me your greatest offering dark lord.¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°Now become my slave.¡±

Chapter-4 Devilish Women
Holy Princess Of Justice, Princess Aria
Empire calendar: Year 1201, Month of sundew, Day 17
Inside the Imperial house ,Arwed Kingdom
The kingdom of Arwed, lively and boisterous throughout the year. It¡¯s popularity and fame came after Princess Aria ascended the throne. For long people suffered the horrors of famine .Without anyone to resolve the previous epidemic ,the people of the kingdom were dropping like flies in face of hunger. During that horrible time, Princess Aria took the throne.
She was a princess holding great ideals. At least this was what she expressed to her people. She also possesses vast amount of knowledge. As for that none objected to her ascension but a tinge of sympathy was shown to her. Using her exceptional knowledge the princess made strides within the kingdom .The monetary, food, agricultural problems were gradually solved in her reign. People then thought about the face of the current empress but what they saw was nothing close to human but a demon in human¡¯s skin .Controlling, manupilating everything and everyone surrounding her. She leashed the nobles ,purged the wicked showed sympathy when needed. She also possessed grand military might . With place of all this qualities people finally acknowledge her and gave her the title ¡°Holy Princess of Justice¡±. A placeholder to describe the merciful rule of a deceitful devil. Now the devil was chasing her new target, the 32nd dark lord. Though told the lord was encased in a barrier which trapped him for eternity, she couldn¡¯t make herself believe it.
¡°How?¡±
The 32nd dark lord did not possess money or strength neither the support of anyone. But he still fought head on with the possessor of all. Even though Aria should had a massive advantage during the previous skirmish between them. A line which was drawn between a competent and incompetent. Still the dark lord closed the space and fought her with equal standings. This stood to be an eyesore for the current princess ¡°Someone who possesses nothing to dare defy her.¡± Was what was going over her head. From then on, her heart began to race, running harder, even making her confused for the reason. But she soon knew the cause.
¡°The beating is not love but for vengeance. For making a mockery of me you shall pay dearly¡±
With a newly founded reason the devilish princess put her eyes on him and today the princess again woke up dreaming on the ways to torture and kill him .When suddenly a letter was delivered to her .Nothing special to which would lead to identify the sender .But the letter had a small droplet of deep crimson blood which made known the person in question.
¡°What news might you be bringing at my door ,today ?¡±
I, then slowly started reading its contents. The continent was primarily divided into humans, demons and the meta world .These realms consisted of races speaking of diverse languages. The first line of the letter was written in the language of dwarves, the second in syllas, the third from the kingdom of Awred. This means that the first ,second and so on were to of no importance. But after the third line the rest were in the language of demons which proved the authenticity of the letter .The method was used to protect the identity of the sender. As human¡¯s and demon¡¯s were in a conflict with one another, communication between them would be seen as nothing but treason. The content¡¯s of the letter were,
¡°Disguise as the birds following the song of bards,
The place which shall unfold,
Shall be the place,
Where treasure holds.¡±
Thinking of the meaning behind those words princess Aria sails to her destination.
¡°The place of which bards sing, the infamous capital of the kingdom!!¡±
The place now abandoned was previously occupied by the kingdom. Two hundred years ago, demons disguising as human¡¯s attacked the capital. But the incident enough was not worthy of the title. The reason for this was, the demon¡¯s at that time killed the heroes of the past summoned by the kingdom on that capital .And around that certain destination now barren, speaks of a despicable history of this morbid kingdom.This tale has been unlawfully lifted from Royal Road; report any instances of this story if found elsewhere.
¡°Now what shall you speak, my dear bird. I, wonder?¡±
With that the princess left for the capital.
Holy Princess Of Justice, Princess Aria

Abandoned capital of the Arwed Kingdom
Following the contents of the letter princess Aria made her way to the capital. Dressing herself as a usual plebian by using magic, she reached the abandoned capital.
¡°This is place. Now where is she?¡±
The princess travelled using a simple wagon which was done to save herself from any suspicions. Reaching the capital she bunked the wagon and came to the destined location and started to pass away time. After a long time of waiting the person in question finally showed up.
¡°¡¡±
She came flying from the direction opposite to her .She stood further ways from her and asked,
¡°I¡¯ve came with information.¡±
In place of the devil-like princess stood a girl having an ephemeral beauty. She had long canines and her skin was white as a candle. She, who was the perfect example of a vampire stood to have an exchange of words with the most exalted person in the kingdom.
¡°You sure took your sweet time?¡± I said with a tinge of irritation.
¡°Sorry. I too had a lot in my plate.¡±
¡°Then why did you call me? What¡¯s the information that you could use to sway me?¡±
¡°I know the location of your beloved.¡±
I froze. Location? Beloved? What could she mean?. With question¡¯s hoarding my mind I asked
¡°What might you be talking about?¡±
¡°I¡¯m talking about Regus.¡±
¡°How did she know. No ,it doesn¡¯t matter anyone. what done is done. I have to find out how much does she know.¡± I mumbled.
¡°I know everything.¡±
¡°By everything¡±
¡°I mean the skit you two wrote to deceive the entire continent.¡±
Explosive words ran off the vampire¡¯s mouth. Words like these could cause the entire continent to erupt.
¡°Blasphemy.¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°Your spouting nothing but lies.¡±
The princess said so with deep great killing intent.
¡°It may be a lie .But even a lie can spread the flames of hatred. I¡¯ve heard that the current kingdom is prospering .With great achievement comes great price and the price you¡¯ve earned is hatred.¡±
With nothing to say the princess stood frozen in her place hearing her revelation. ¡°Blackmail, is it?¡± she thought. Waiting for her to finish ,Aria stayed still .
¡°And the price will now become your own demise.¡±
Joyfully the vampire crept around my ears .Not knowing when she closed the distance between us, I breathed carefully. Trying not to show my emotions, not to make my facial expression crumble I stood carefully at hair¡¯s breadth away from her. Then she said those words as to make a mockery of me.
¡°Making secret deals with the vampires and dark lords behind the kingdom can sure make a great scandal.¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°If I want. I can spread these words all around the place.¡±
The vampire said joyfully looking down on the princess. As to finding no way to deal with the current the devilish princess stayed still. Seeing her prey cowering before her the vampire asked
¡°I will forget this incident.¡±
¡°¡¡±
¡°Nothing has happened today. Not even our meeting.¡±
Knowing the meaning behind those words .I asked,
¡°What do you want?¡±
¡°I want nothing but to fulfill your desire. How could someone like me ask you to do something without your consent.¡±
¡°¡¡±
She finally said, ¡°I know the location of Regus and a safe passage to his place.¡±
¡°The 32nd dark lord?¡±
¡°Yes, yes. The poverty king. The one you faced before.¡±
The words addressing a dark lord might induce the flames of anger of any people listening to them. The dark lords as they possess indefinite power were hailed as apostles of gods. Saying so might give them the title of a heretic. But the vampire said so without any resistance. That just goes to say the extent of her authority.

Inside the Ancient Tomb of Regression
With dreary eyes I woke up. The place is quite antique surrounded by broken statues wondering the soft sensation over my head .I realized I was in my bed. Seeing the familiar scenario, I let a sigh of relief. I wondered who took me to bed. But to my surprise stood a person who I am most familiar with.
¡°Did you took me to bed .Cearie.¡±
¡°Yes ,It was me master~¡±
Whatever people might forget, they should never forget to express their gratitude .With that I said,
¡°Thanks.¡±
¡°No need. Master but why where you lying on the ground.¡±
The earlier event with the god may seem to be a grumbling of a lunatic. Thinking within these lines, regus said with a bitter smile , ¡°nothing.¡±
¡°Master~¡±
Thinking what she wanted I asked with utter displeasure, ¡°what?¡±
¡°We might have guests.¡±
Chapter-5 Betrayal
Killing bastard, Adventurer Gazef
Empire calendar: Year 1201, Month of sundew, Day 17
In the threshold of the 32nd dark lord
Adventurer Gazef was an adventurer renowned within the kingdom for great achievements. Possessing a unique status of nobility ,support and sheer charisma gifted by god, He quickly climbed the stairs of success. Killing, murdering, pillaging was what he was mostly renowned for. He lived his life for risks. Tall build, darkish damp hair and pale face which mirrored nothing of a person of high nobility was his selling point. Today marks the day of which this great valiant noble is sure to retire. The head of a dark lord shall be the price of his retirement as so promised by the omnipotent princess.
Gazef never travelled alone. Being alone makes one vulnerable to many situation. Not for the kinship or a fellow nobility but for being a slave to humanity was what bought his trust. The one¡¯s travelling with Gazef were a pair of Succubuses .Brittle and appearance to be frowned upon the succubus followed their master through thick and thin and now their master wished to have his final adventure with them. Forgetting all their pain ,sorrows and misery the greed of freedom is what drove this pair of succubus to follow their most hated adversary .
¡°Fucking harlot of a bitch!!Who said you could stop!!¡±
¡°¡¡±
He then said while snickering,
¡°You do know I will set both you free from all these misery after this quest.¡±
¡°¡¡±
The girls look to their master with shallow dead eyes. Eyes having no shred of light which spoken of their broken will and their unyielding desire for eternal freedom. A slave of the kingdom can only be freed after his death. So the freedom spoken by their master refers to their death by his hands.
¡°If you sick piece of harlots only knows to care for their body instead of levying your life for mine. Then reluctantly I must bestow my divine punishment upon you.¡±
¡°No!!please no!!!¡±Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.
¡°Master we will do anything so please don¡¯t use the slave crest¡±
Seeing the obedient slaves begging like begger¡¯s in front of him, Gazef felt satisfied. Satisfied to trample on the weak to show his dominance. Like this Gazef made his way inside the tomb of the great lord.
¡°That princess said the poverty king is sure to be here. With this quest I might finally ride of higher status. Alleviating to dukedom seems kinda nice.¡±
Even though this is a tomb of a great lord Gazef notices something abnormal.
¡°But isn¡¯t this place a little too quiet. Even if this place is of the poverty king. Has his destitution finally reached the limits.¡±
¡°If that¡¯s the case then its good, Isn¡¯t it? .My lord¡±
¡°Yes. Though your mouth have long rotted but it seems your brain hasn¡¯t.¡±
With hollow eyes the succubus spoke, ¡°It¡¯s cause I have a good lord¡±
Hearing praises of himself from his slaves fills Gazef with confidence and thus they make their way to the Regus, the dark lord.
The place was old rotted filled with a pungent smell speaking of nothing but its dying past. Gazef thought for once if someone could live here but perished the thought for his search and greed of power. He began to walk slowly with vigilance but he walked and walked finding nothing. With passing time filled him with nothing but a bad premonition. The fear of not fulfilling the request of the princess slowly gripped his heart. He was struck with paranoia of not achieving the results that he desired. So to reduce a bit of his stress he started hitting the succubuses .
Beating ,beating ,beating for hours without rest or sleep. Screams and moans filled the empty tomb. The sound of whip and music of tortured drowned the tomb in whole. The scenery was barbaric nothing humane .Pure torture at its state.
Broken bones shattered teeth gouged eyes and several other injuries were visible on them. After beating his slaves for long span of time Gazef finally turned to sleep.
20 minutes later,
¡°This looks bad, what am I to tell her? Should I confess my incompetence.¡±
He woke up and recalled the princesses parting words and began to think of countering the situation. He began to think what excuse to make in front of such a devil. Then he slowly crept to his slaves holding their collar and dragged them from the cave to the outside to regroup and send the message to the princess.
Suddenly he smelled mercury within the air. Confused he began to trace the source .But what he found made his face void of blood.
¡°How?¡±
Confusion struck his heart as the scenery occurred is quite unimaginable for him. The smell came from his lower half .They stabbed him with a concealed knife around his vitals.
The slaves began to talk between themselves which seemed gibberish to Gazef.
¡°Master. It looks like our plan is a success~¡±
¡°Don¡¯t go out of character yet. Let us lavish the moment for a bit longer.¡±
The appearance of the tortured succubus began to change to form something which was unthinkable by Gazef .The person he was searching for, the person he had to kill was disguised as his slaves.
¡°For?..How long?¡±
With pleasure and eyes of a predator, Regus spoke ¡°From the very beginning~¡±
