《Generals of the Apocalypse》 Chapter 1 Ugh... Where the hell am I? I try to reach for my clock, but find that it''s nowhere to be found, and also notice that I''m currently laying on a cold, hard floor. I swiftly get up and get my dagger... try to get my dagger, noticing I''m completely naked. Fuuh, just perfect. I take a swift look around myself and notice four other people, all naked like me, some distance away from me. There are 3 boys and a girl, all of them are from different ethnicities. The girl seems european, judging by her facial structure, she''s definetly not ugly, but I can''t call her beautiful either. Well, my sense of estethics is messed up, so who am I to judge? Out of the 3 boys, two seem like your average Joe, but one of the three is... scary. He''s a god damn giant! If I compare him to me, he must tower at least a meter above me, and I''m not even that short! Well, kind of short, but not too short. You get the idea you fucker. Also, he totally resembles the stereotypical russian bodyguard because of his posture, his bodybuild and his face. Wouldn''t want to get the big bully mad now, would we? We were all on our guard, each one of us had tried to take out a weapon, failed to do so, then got into a martial arts stance. Now, we were all staring at each other with hatred. Well, that is until the giant spoke up. "I suggest you calm down. I have no idea what is going on and neither do you fuckers, so stop glaring with killing intent at everyone around for absolutely no reason, you bunch of idiots." We flinched at his words and lowered our stances. We spent the next thirty or so minutes trying to figure out exactly where we were. We didn''t talk about ourselves much, but I did learn that the two Average Joes were in fact siblings, twins at that. The russian was not in the mafia and that the girl is a complete pervert. Ugh, I hate perverts... Especially women perverts... We were locked in a room made up of some white material for the walls and a black carpet was on the floor. Thankfully, there were some lights on the roof, so at least we could see where we were going. Though not very much. Then, as we talked, I heard a foreign voice speak out "Hm. Looks like you are enjoying yourselves. I''m glad that''s the case." We all turned to look at the source of the voice and froze when saw who was the owner of the voice. It was a demon. No other way to describe it. Two horns came out from the sides of his head, a long leathery tail sticked out from his butt, two giant wings were folded on his back and his eyes were ruby-red. "Yes, I am a demon. The Demon King, for precision''s sake. I will explain everything in a little bit, but first, you will all have to pass my test. If you fail, I will kill you. If you succede, you will be able to choose to abandon everything and start anew, or I will erase your memories of this event and send you back home. Clear?" The Demon King said with a scary face. Even the russia-man took a step back when he saw the face. Now that I think of it, isn''t russia-man a little shorter then the demon? Is the demon also a giant? Why am I stuck being a midget? Ah, right. Focus on what the demon wants! The Demon King waved his hand casually, and I suddently found myself sitting on a chair in front of the Demon King. Eh? Excuse me? "You will answer my questions. Lie and I kill you immediately. Ready?" He said and I tilted my head a bit, pondered for a bit then nodded. What do I have to hide? Ah... right. I am a mute. Well, too bad. "No need to worry, I can simply read your thoughts." The Demon King said with a charming smile. Ah, fuck off gay thoughts. Well, do demons even have genders? Ah, you haven''t heard anything my king~. "Actually, I did. First question: You see a woman on the street, a truck is about to run her over. What do you do?" Eh... Is she old? Is she fat? Is she beautiful? Is she a priest? Is she a mom? Does she have a husband? Is she stupid? Is she rich? "Let''s say the woman is the prettiest girl you have ever met, what do you do?" Let the truck run her over. Why should I sacrifice myself for some random idiot? Sorry, I don''t like pretty women~. Also don''t like ugly women thoug. Also don''t like men. Actually, I don''t anyone. I do like cats and bats though. "That''s okay. Second question: If someone threatened you to kill yourself by holding your family hostage, what do you do? I giggled at the idea. Family? I had killed my own family. Please, kill them all you want. Actually, let me join in on the fun. Then die for me as well, thank you very much.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. "Hm. Third question: What''s your favourite animal?" Bat. "Your favourite color?" Red. "Your favourite drink?" Coca "I already said to say the truth." Fine, I like blood. Deal with it. I''m a vampire fan, screw mundane demons. "That''s better. I have an idea of what to do with you now. Congrats, you passed with flying colors. Well, not that I wasn''t expecting it. I did research on you, and turns out I was correct." The demon waved his hand once agan and this time I found myself by the side of the russia-man. The twins were to his other side, and the girl appeared 10 seconds after I did. She stood by my side, so to my left was russia-man and to the other side a pervert. Just great... We were in what seems to be a laboratory, a pretty sci-fi kind of laboratory too. Scary tools and machines were all around us, and I have to admit even I felt some chills go down my spine. Of course, the Demon King was standing in front of us lined up rats. He spoke with a cheerful voice opposite to his previous demeanor "Good job all of you for passing the test. Ah, do forgive me for probing your mind for the answers I wanted by the way. Thanks to your answers, I now know what race I will transform you psychos into." Eh? Transform race? Such a thing? "Yes my slaves, change race. You see, my plan is to bring the apocalypse onto your world. Yes, I know you don''t care, but here''s my offer. If you promise to serve me for 500 years, I will turn you into anything you desire, as well as stop your aging progress. I will also grant you immense power, but that will develop over time. You will use this power to do missions I assign you to, such as killing a person here, exterminating a race there." He pauses to let all of the information sink in. I have to admit, how did my life change so much so quickly? I don''t really mind this though. I never liked my life anyway. My parents were abusing alcoholics, I was locked up in prison for murder for 10 years before escaping and even now I was always on the run, sleeping in forests and the like. I had to rely to drinking blood of beasts as water, and I may have developed a tiny fetish for it. Ah... good times. Ah!? Is it storytime? I''ll tell my story! Ah wait, I just did. Too bad. Well, I became a mute 4 years after I first got locked up, the doctors say it''s a mental trauma, but I know that''s not true. I literally can''t speak. My vocal cords don''t work. Fucking doctors lying and getting easy money anyway since I can''t retort their statements... "None of you have family or friends, so it''s not like your going to lose anything. Now, raise your hand if you accept my offer." Needless to say, five arms immediatly shot up. What would psychos like us even do in the normal world? I already checked that this isn''t a dream, and I''m not so dense to deny reality with it right in front of me. I''m crazy, not retarded. "Good. Now, I will give you options for what race you will become, each has their own distinct advantages. They are all based off of your personalities and souls, but you wouldn''t understand the process anyway so just choose what you feel is more like you." He says and a small screen appears right in my face. -------------------------------------- --Gerald Hasmen-- -------Racial Options--- ---Racial Abilities------- Frost Vampire - Extreme ice powers.

I guess I''m dead set on being a vampire huh... Hehe, every child''s dream is to be a mystical creature, and I''m no different. Though the Terror Vampire sounds very tempting, it is very limited in my opinion. Fear is something that is very fragile, and it can turn into hate or anger very quickly. So, Apocalypse vampire it is~. I mentally selected the Apocalypse vampire and waited. Nothing happend. I waited for a bit more until the Demon King''s voice resounded "Good. I see you all decided. I was expecting most of them, but not you, mr. Kzebeski." He says, turning to the russia-man. Eh? What did he pick? Is he an ice titan? A fire titan? A colossal dragon-man? A shining knight in golden armor? Eh, fuck off gay thoughts! Wait, don''t fuck off! That''s weird! Just go away. The russia-man turns away with a snort, but doesn''t answer. The Demon King chuckles in a friendly manner and continues "Well, no matter. As things are, your bodies will start at around 12 years of age so that you can grow up in them easily. I will train you for 10 years, in which I will either personally train you, send you to do missions to my world or you can train by yourselves. Prepare for school too, my students..." He says, trailing off with an evil glint in his eyes. We all trembled a bit, but I was secretely pondering a bit. How come we feel so comfortable around him? Mind magic stuff? And why is he acting so friendly? Ain''t we supposed to be people he kidnapped? He''s kind of giving us a huge degree of choice... Ah well, who''s gonna complain!? Not me, that''s for sure! "Very well, it''s time to begin remodeling your body on a molecular level. I''ll wake you up in about a year~." He says, my eyes widen as I fall down on the floor, hearing 4 more *thumps* along with my own fall. My consciousness begins to fade and I can''t help but wonder... Will I get to drink blood like the vampires on the fairy tales? Ah, how I hope to grow some wings too... A tail would be nice. Maybe cat ears too... I like cats after all... R.I.P consciousness. Rest in spaghetti, never forgetti. Chapter 2 I slowly regained consciousness after... some time. I don''t think unconscious people can determine time... yeah, they can''t. I felt myself floating in some sort of liquid, which me to conclude that either master is a sci-fi crazed scientist or a seriously messed up magician. Wait, why did I call master master? Again? He messes up my head, didn''t he. Ah well, it was too convenient for him to just grant us power with no insurance~. I opened my eyes and saw that I was indeed in one of those... things you see in sci-fi movies, those where scientists store live subjects. In front of my box stood master. There were 4 other boxes all around the room, in which I can assume are russia-man, the pervert and the twins. I waited for a couple of minutes before the liquid in my box began to go away. I fell to the floor, unable to move. I felt extremely weak, also small. He did say we''d return to 12 years olds, so that''s not a big suprise. The door then slowly began to slide open in all of our boxes. It took me a while to finally stand on my feet and drag myself out of that damn thing. When all of us 5 where finally out, master finally spoke to us. "Good, it seems that everybody succeded. I know you all feel weak right now, but there''s no helping it. I pushed your growth process from a fetus to a 12 years old in barely 3 years you know?" He said and laughed proudly. "Alright, now, I will procede to bestow names upon you. The moment you raised your hand 3 years ago, you abandoned everything you were before. In a specific case over there..." He pointed at me "Even gender." I was stuck speechless, well, I''m already speechless, but you get the idea. I looked at myself and noticed that what he was saying was true! Ufufufu... I can''t help but laugh to myself a bit. I can act upon all of my gay thoughts now! Eh... that''s disgusting. Whatever,I was born disgusting anyway~. "Alright, from now on, you five will be the Apocalypse Generals. You will be under my direct command and will always obey my orders, even if it brings you death. Don''t worry about dying though, as I can always just resurrect you here. Try to avoid it though, as it costs time and resources to regenerate a body completely." When he saw our nods, he smiled and walked up to the girl, who now had two horns growing out of her head, a leathery tail like Master''s one and two small wings on her back. "Alright, from now on, you will be Lilith. Understood?" She grimaced when she heard that, but didn''t say anything and simply nodded weakly. He smiled and patted her head a bit before moving onto the twins, who now had dark skin and very long and pointy ears. They also looked exactly the same now, except for their eye color. One had his left eye green and right eye blue, whilst the other had his left eye blue and his right eye green. He first looked at the left-green, right-blue one and said "You shall be Sanahr..." He pointed to the other one "And you will be Genahr." They both nodded with a small smile on their face. Master turned towards me and said "Alright, you shall be Rose. Questions later, so don''t ask." Ah, shit. Did he read my mind? Nah, I''m probably just obvious. I simply did as all the others did, nod. He turned to the last one of us, russia-guy I assume. He was just as tall as he was before, but now he had 4 arms and his skin looked like gold. "Alright, you shall be named Cronus. Finally, we''re done here. Now, I will send each of you to your respective rooms, there, I will send a clone to teach you the basic layout of my castle. Then, training will begin. Question my clones, I''m too busy to deal with adults in kid''s skin." As he finishes, I suddently find myself in a new room. Again, what''s up with the teleporting stuff? How annoying. Taking a look around, I can''t help but be impressed. The walls are all blue, the floor is made of marble and decorations adorn the walls. There is one huge lantern hanging from the roof. There is a single window though, which isn''t bad but I prefere houses with lots of windows cause'' you know... more escape possibilities. There is also a king-sized bed and a wardrobe next to it. How nice, there are even clothes laid on top of the bed. Well, I didn''t point it out before, but it should be pretty obvious that a person coming out from an experiment-tube thing should be naked.A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation. I walk up to the clothes but stop for a second and turn towards the mirror laying next to the wardrobe. I see a blonde-haired 12 years old with bloodshot eyes and long pointed ears. Uuuh... I want a tail! That''s so unfair, I''m so envious of that damned girl... When I somehow bit myself, I checked my mouth and found two huge canines on my upper jaw. Right, I''m a vampire. Maybe I''ll get wings? After exploring myself for a bit, I put on the clothes and crawl on the bed. Noted, I''m extremely tired. It didn''t take me long to fall asleep. Of course, I wasn''t allowed to sleep for too long. I was soon awakened by an old demon in a butler outfit. He led me around the castle for a couple hours, showing me this and that. When we were done, I was brought into what the butler called a ''dining hall'', but it was more like a gigantic, and I really mean gigantic, buffet area. There, the twins, russia-man and the pervie were all eating. Russia-man really looked like a glutton, constantly shoving down food. The twins were moderate and the pervie was anoressic. The saying ''you are what you eat'' is true huh. I approached them as they were talking/eating and sat down on a chair next to them. They all glanced at me for a second before continuing to talk amongst themselves. When I tried to stand up again, Sanahr spoke up to me "Yo, aren''t your vocal cords healed now?" I looked at him with wide eyes for a couple of seconds, then immediatly tried to speak. "T-tesht... T-t-tehct." I accidentally bit myself, which kinda hurt. Long canines are quite annoying sometimes. But hey, at least now I can talk! A smile plastered itself on my face and I couldn''t take it off. Sahar smiled and patted me on the shoulder a little before returning to their conversation. They mostly spoke about who they were and what job they had before this and what race they took. Sahar and Senahr ran an organization that mostlly dealt with firearmsin a polish region, the pervie was a singer in France, but she had a hobby of capturing young men and torturing them. At least she''s honest about it, which already raised my opinion of her by a tiny margin. I still hate her kind though. The twins had both chosen ''Hell Elf'', which they say focuses on fire and darkness. They''re essentially mages, the glass-cannon type based on the description of their race. The pervie took ''Succubus Empress'', which is kind of a jack-of-all trades. She can be a close-combat, mid-ranger or even a mage with mind spells. Very useful for interrogation too, since if given time, she can take over another person''s mind. The Russia-guy said he had a hard time choosing between ''Apocalypse Titan'' and ''Apocalypse Warlord''. In the end, he went for the warlord since the titan said that he''d be... well, titanic. Walord only makes him really big, and he apparently already had troubles entering small buildings. He said that he indeed was a bodyguard before being transported, but he also claimed that he would always kill his client in the end. Don''t know how he would get jobs after that though, didn''t bother asking. When they finished talking to each other, they finally turned to me with expectant expressions. I simply shrugged. I mean, I just learned I can speak, how do you expect me to hold a conversation? "Hey Rose, I was wondering... why did you turn into a girl?" The pervie asks, I look at her blankly and say "Dhunno. Ashk Mashter." Fuck I hate this lisp. I frown and try to say it again "Mashter. Mhasther. Manher." The pervie giggles at my attempts whilst the others simply smile a bit. I pout and tilt my head, only to immediatly stop and wonder what the hell I''m doing. Was I like this before? Fuck you master, why do you fuckup my mind!? The body would be better! I told them about my race and who I was before this. A fugitive who got framed by his wife and that I had a minor blood fetish. I had some real trouble talking though, I haven''t spoken since the prison... As we talked, well, they talked, I casually grabbed a piece of cake and shoved it in my mouth, only to cough it our immediatly. A terrible taste invaded my mouth, and I had some serious trouble holding back the urge to puke. Russia-man, or Chronus now I guess, looked at me for a second before saying "Little guy, you do know vampiresonly drink blood right?" I looked at him with a raised eyebrow, I knew that, but shouldn''t I be able to eat other things too? "I mean that you''ll never be able to taste other things again. I think so at least, I''m not an expert in vampire''s biology." "Ah..." I said with a blank face. Well, fuck me real times. Whatever, blood is still tasty. "Well, bhlood is shtill not sho bad right? I''m hungry though..." I look at the four meals with pleading eyes, but they all quickly shake their heads saying "No thanks", "Nope", "Not me.". Jerks. It took about 20 minutes for Master to finally show his butt to us poor lost souls. He was now in more casual clothes then the first time we saw him, which made him give off a ''cool'' vibe. "Hello~ children. How do you do? Just kidding, I''ll always know how you do. Courtesy of soul engineering~. Jokes aside, I can see you have already began to get to know each other. I''ll tell you the plan that I have in mind, and I''m expecting counter-suggestions, kay?" We all nod, so he continues "Good, since I''m kind of lacking the army I want right now, I will lay low for a couple years. During this time, I want you to train up your abilities and get stronger. I''ll give you about 3 years, give or take a couple months. When you''re done, I will send you to do some missions in theworld I... come from. You will be informed on the details later. Now, you''re maids/butlers will lead you to your specific training areas where a clone of mine is waiting for you. There, I will have you start training. Kukuku, I can''t wait to see how you turn out..." He said with the crazy scientist kind of eyes. Scary, we''re not lab rats thank you very much. Chapter 3 My name is Lyrian. I was born a pure-blooded demon, quite a high-ranking one for that. From birth, I was considered a prodigy for our tribe. I will fully admit that I was pampered too much and I ended up an overly arrogant brat, but thankfully that all ended when the Great Demon King took a notice of me. He showed up one day, rather casually. Imagine our shock when a living legend casually strolled in, knocking on our door. After a bit of chit-chat with my father, he demanded me as some sort of tribute, stating that whilst I might not return alive, I would certainly receive the possibility to become much, much stronger. Father at first was a bit skeptical, but even he didn''t even dare look at the Great Demon King''s eyes directly, much less say no to anything he says. Thus, I had to pack up my belongings. After that, the Great Demon King, which simply said to call him Master, casually teleported me and my stuff away. At first I was confused, but after a bit of explaining I realized what my job entrailed. First, I was to be trained by a bunch of butlers, since he said that every servant of his needed to learn proper manners, and he found mine... quite primal, as he quoted it. I was a bit offended, but after a good laugh he simply waved me away. I thus met the Head Butler, Roger. He trained me in the ways of the masochist, which consisted of beating me with a stick that did no damage, but sure as hell hurt. Whenever I did something wrong, a hit. I said something I shouldn''t? Two hits. I thinked of something bad? A thumbs up from him, as mymind is myown. And so, my life went like this for about a month. During this time, my whole attitude turned all the way around. I didn''t even dare speak in front of someone with a higher standing, but I would have to act superior in front of those lower then me. Apparently it serves as a way to maintain my prestige and remind them of my status. Which, in all fairness, is not too low. Being the Head Butler''s personal ''disciple'', I only had less power then the Rogerhimself. There were even some girls who tried to gain my favor, but they were quickly shot down by Roger whom claimed them to be ''unworthy''. They looked good enough, but as if I would ever dare speak up on him. Then, exactly 36 days after I first got here, Master appeared once again. Roger says that Master tends to be very busy with his experiments, which nobody really knows what they consist of. Some maids once claimed that he''s trying to build an immortal army for conquering worlds, which is a possibility, but not a fact. We all lined up in a two file line and he passed in between us. Roger was at the end of the line, kneeling. Master laughed and simply said "Rise, my friend. You know better then to be this formal."If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation. Roger smiled and got up. After that, us lower servants all went into the sidelines and simply waited. They discussed something for quite a while, Roger made a shocked face and then he went into serious mode. We couldn''t hear their conversation, but it seemed important. Then, Roger sent us all out. Correction, sent all of us except for me, another demon and three maids. After that, he bowed and left as well. We turned to master with a confused expression, but he simply smiled and said "Now, you might be wondering why you''re here. Well, my children have finally come out from their training, and they kind of... turned into complete and utter weirdos. Well, it might be my fault a bit, but that''s besides the point! I need you 5 to attend them. Will you do it? Of course you will~!" I began nodding my head, even though I wasn''t doing it. It felt like some sort of telekenisis, but stronger. And that is how I ended up here. I was told that I would become the personal servant of his ''children'', as he calls them. He decided to keep it a suprise as to who he was actually talking about though. Now, I''m currently standing in front of a room in the innermost part of the castle. This area is off-limits for even Roger, so I have never seen it before. I slowly knock on the door, waiting for a response. After a couple of seconds which felt like hours, I heard a feminine voice resound from inside the room. "Come ihn." I entered, and froze on the spot when I saw what was inside. A huge ball of... blood was floating above the bed. It was at least 10 meters in diameter and 5 meters tall. But that was not the scariest part. A single, huge eye was in the center of the room, looking straight at me. I felt as if that thing wanted to devour me, no, perhaps worst. It was honestly really fucking scary. A voice soon snapped me out of it though. From inside the ball, someone called out "Are yoi the ishiot that Mashter talked about?" I bowed and answered "Yes sir. I was appointed as your personal attendant by the Master himself." I looked up at the floating ball of blood. It had a distant look in it''s single eye, as if remembering something. After a couple minutes, the eye dissolved back into the ball and thethingthen slowly parted open, revealing a girl around 12 years of age with red eyes and long, black hair. At first, she could be mistaken as a human. However, if you look closely you could notice the extra-long canines and her slightly pointed ears. She looked at me with inquiring eyes and then stretched up her hand. The entire ball of blood somehow floated down in streams into her hand, and she seemed to somehow absorb it. It just kinda disappeared once it touched her hand. "I''m sexshually frushtrated. Play with me." She said after the entire ball disappeared, and looked at me with a crazed smile that somehow highlited two very dangerous teeth. It took me a while to understand what happened, and when I did I was suddently tied by ropes of blood. Thus, the next hour was spent as a bloodbag for a thirsty bloodsucker. I almost fainted from anemia, and she even hinted that she was sucking very slowly. After she was done, finally untied me and simply told me to come tomorrow. However, when she said "Thomorrshow", due to my lack of energy, I didn''t understand what she said. I asked her again what she meant a couple times, and she got visibly irritated. When I mentioned her lisp, she kicked me in the nuts and threw me out of the room. And thus, this was my first day spent with Ms. Rose. The ways of the masochist had just somehow... expanded. A lot. Chapter 4 These five years have not been kind to this poor new me. Especially when one year counted as 10 years spent in another sort of weird dimension thingie... So, we technically spent 5 years training, but in truth spent 50. Yay me. Essentially, to sum it all up, one of Master''s clones picked me up after the second day and dropped me off inside of a portal, telling me to either die there and be resurrected or just survive for 5 years. Not very efficient if you ask me. However, I naturally had no time to ask such questions as ''efficiency'' when I was running away from 100-meter tall dinosaurs, fire-breathing dragons, giant sea leviathans, swarms of mosquitos the size of cities and he even fucking put vampire hunters there after a couple years in, which for him was only a month after having dropped me. Well, at least I learned a couple things regarding myself and my powers. First of all, I hate fire and silver. I almost died a couple times to the fire-breathing dragons and after I learned to cope with them, the silver-weilding hunters came in. I still didn''t die though miracously. Well, didn''t die doesn''t mean not having my head ripped off, being devoured alive, torn in pieces, burned to a crisp, splashed with steel-melting acid, buried alive, drowned and even raped. However, a nice little trick of my race is our ability to literally recover any and all wounds that do not disintegrate us completely or purified by holy magic. My main form of power comes through the application of my blood manipulation. It''s nothing like bloodbending in Avatar though unfortunatly. However, I can crystallize it into a solid form and the more blood I use the stronger it comes out as. During my first year, I could barely use it. I still did it sometimes out of instincts, and that was what led to me using it over all my other abilities, which aren''t exactly a lot. Naturally, I can turn into a bat during night time freely and even during the day, but it''s very tiring. In regards to sunlight, it''s not a problem as long as I have an umbrella with me, which I built out of blood. If I''m caught without it though, I''d lose 75% of my strenght, which is quite a lot. Thus, I survived for 5 years in that god forsken plane where giant beasts roam in huge numbers. At first, I would always run away, but after the third year, I felt that I had enough control over my powers to challenge the beasts. I still remember my first kill. It was a snake easily 70 meters long, which in that plane counted as one of the lower-tier monsters. I took it by suprise by turning into a bat and attacking it from above with a giant blood fist. That alone did quite a bit of damage, but I also sent hundreds of blood spikes and slashes at it. The snake didn''t die though and charged at me. I had to make a giant blood shield to block it''s advance and when it was busy trying to break through, I turned myself into a bat and crept behind it, where I chained it down and bit it. It tried to shake me off, but the chains were keeping it nice and grounded. After that, it was as good as dead. I sucked it dry of all of it''s blood and then fed the corpse to a colony of bats. When I fight, I use blood. That much is obvious, but there''s a catch. Where does the blood I use go? Well, I can always recicle any blood I use and when I drink more I simply add it to my pool. When I drink, the blood simply condenses around my heart, making it harder then adamantine Thus, I came to learn of my biggest weakness the hard way. After the fight with the snake, I began my campaign against every single living being in that place. I killed dragons, titans, leviathans, minotaurs the size of houses, gigantic tigers and much more. It sort of turned into a snowball effect, since the more I killed the more blood I took. This gave me confidence, which turned into arrogance. Naturally, I paid for it during a fight against a group of hunters. I was feeling crappy that day, so I just wanted to kill them all. I thus created a giant blood sphere in the sky and was planning to smash them into nothingness. However, that led to my heart not having a lot of blood to protect itself. A hunter got a lucky shot with his crossbow, and it pierced my chest into my heart. They all still died since the pseudo-meteor still completely destroyed them, but I had to use up 1/4 of my blood to quickly repair my wound. That destroyed all the confidence I had. At the end of the day, my power is all reliant on how much blood I had. That didn''t sit well with me, so I began to train my body everyday. A nice thing about vampires is that they technically are half-undead, so they have the undead''s tipical stamina but aren''t just mindless idiots. Well, most vampires aren''t at least. This helped since I could just continually train and train. Progress was slow, but when the 5 years mark was reached the improvement could easily be seen. I had naturally killed every single creature in that place. I also taught myself some techniques I read/saw on animes during my time as a human. First and foremost, blood clones. Pretty self-explanatory, good for distractions and intel gathering. That technique did give me some insight into my own body, but nothing major since I had studied myself pretty well by then. When Master finally teleported me away, he complimented me on not dying even once. He said that only I and Cronus didn''t even die once, whilst the two bro''s died once and the bitch died twice. Still, it was understandable since they were much squishier then me and Cronus.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation. After that, he personally taught me martial arts, swordsmanship, archery, basic magic knowledge and helped me develop my blood manipulation. Each of us ''Generals'' spent 15 years taught by his clones and sometimes he made us spar with each other. However, pairing us up was like putting sniper rifles against shotguns. Meaning that people like Sanahr and Genahr simply aren''t designed for close combat, so they would totally get recked by Cronus. Same for Lilith, whilst I did put up somewhat of a fight since I was proficient in all ranges, but I still lost. By the end of these twenty years we spent into yet another time-disturbed dimension, we each had developed some specialties. Lilith could fuck you up in ways that made death seem like your birthday gift if you give her too much time to do her mind techniques, Cronus would ram you down then punch the living daylight out of you, or me. Senahr and Genahr were still glass-cannons. Well, more like glass-nuclear bombs. They could each fire a multitude of spells, and even I would have to be careful against them. As for me, I''m just annoying as fuck to deal with. Blast me apart? I''ll just come together. Cut my limbs off? They''ll just regrow. That, and my ability to overwhelm enemies with my sheer number of attacks, ranging from spikes to giant meteors. Naturally, even I have a limit, but I just haven''t reached it yet~! Hell, I even developed an ability that lets me make a giant blood titan hundreds of meters tall, but it''s not really as effective as it sounds. My personal favourite though is something I stole from the Naruto anime. More specifically, Gaara''s sand tsunami, which I createvely named Blood Tsunami. It''s pretty self-explanatory... Then, for 30 years we were all abandoned in one of Master''s dimensions once again. This time though, our objective was to conquer the empire there. It wasn''t easy, since the empire mostly consisted of elves and some fae. Fae are some kind of mix between fairies and elves, and they were mostly royalty. We had to disguise ourselves, which was quite hard for Cronus, so he simply did the dirty and secret work. As for me, Senahr, Genahr and Lilly, we disguised ourselves as elves and joined the army. There, we slowly made our way up the ranks with Lilly being Senahr''s wife and Genahr''s sister and I was their kid. The two dark elves had to put make-up every day, which annoyed them to no end. Lilly could shapeshift into any humanoid she wanted really, so she was okay. I just had to retreat my fangs and I looked like an elf, although retracting my fangs hurt. It took us 10 years to finally become generals, and by then we had won quite a number of battles. Most of the credit goes to Cronus, who was aiding us from behind the scenes, but Lilly was unexpectedly really good at planning, so she got some credit too. Then, we just kinda waited for an opportunity. The crown was on really good terms with us, and I even became ''friends'' with the princess. In all truth, I just really wanted to suck that little virgin dry, as virgins are... tasty, to say the least. Then, 14 years after our entrance, a chance appeared. The king led a campaign against a revolting noble, but he actually lost at a major battle. Then, he had to raise taxes in order to win the war, earning the hatred of the commoners. That was when Cronus and his gang came in. By then, he was known all around the empire as ''Big Boss''. He had a multitude of subordinates, only very few knew who he actually was, and all of those were Lilith''s little mind-fucked bitches. He immediately began to spread the seed of discord, and by the 16th year the populace was out for blood. We, as the one and true heroes, declared the king ''Corrupted by the evil forces'' and gathered the army we had led for a decade, who by now were loyal to a fault. Then, we marched across the lands. We captured cities without destroying nor looting and we helped those in need. By the 20th year, the final battle against the king accoured. The king had been pretty much fucked ever since we revolted, but he didn''t back down. He first crushed the rebelling noble, then turned around and headed towards us. However, the other nobles weren''t so kind as to stay put, and all of them revolted. In the end, he holed himself up in the capital. Meanwhile, the nobles themselves pledged loyalty to us through promises, bribes and a bit of threatening. It also helped Cronus was sewing terror into them, and only we had the ''power'' to defeat his evil forces. Well, Cronus simply told his thugs to run away whenever they saw one of our soldiers, so it wasn''t really a power. Thus, we had everything under our thumb except the capital by the 20th year. We marched our 100 thousand strong army and laid siege or 5 full years. It was not easy to take such a well-defended capital, especially with all of their god damn mages. Then, they finally surrendered. We had lost over 40.000 men whilst our of their 60.000, they lost 50.000. Normally, in sieges, attackers lose more, but that''s not necessarily true with the number advantage, better technological equipment, good generals and even some good old poisoned wells inside the city. Guess who did that? Oh right, it was Cronus. Our army marched into the city, where we publicly executed the king and his family. I secretely took the princess away, and she was declared to have suicided before capture. Then, at first she thought that I had saved her, but quickly thinked otherwise after I showed her my thirsty expression. All that remained of her when I went back was an empty husk of skin and bones. We then announced ourselves as Senahr being the king, Lilly being the Queen and Genahr was the royal advisor. I was but a lowly princess, but that was fine since I''m not good at politics anyway. We then spent the next 5 years consolidating our power. During this time, Cronus'' gang was ''defeated'' by our great army and their leader ''killed'' by our newly appointed general, Cronus. Then, the 30 years had finally passed. We had learned quite a bit of stuff, but those that benefitted the most were definetly Sanahr and Genahr. Those two spent months holed up researching spells like mad scientists, which is essentially what they are. Master suddently appeared in the throne room during a meeting, stunning everyone there. He told us that we did a good job and told us that we would leave in 2 days. We spent those two days massacring the entire empire. We told our armies of ''rebellions'' and sent them to kill everyone. The generals were brainwashed by Lilith whilst Senahr and Genahr tested their spells on the capital. Cronus rampaged through the contry the whole time, killing everyone. Well, it was understandable why they were so bloodthirsty. It was extremely frustrating to have to take over everything peacefully, and we weren''t sure if taking over everything by force would actually leave anything to call an ''empire''. So, we had to deal with shitty politics, noble brats and retarded commoners the whole time. The chance to just take revenge was fully welcome. As for my part, I simply flooded the streets with blood. Whenever someone got caught inside of the tsunami, I would tear them apart or squeezing them into little cubes and add their blood to the tsunami itself. Then, Master took us away. By then, a good 30% of the population had succumbed and the ''Heroes'' that usually appear when evil like us runs rampant didn''t appear yet, so the mission was fully successful. The moment we reached the castle, I ran into my room and immediately went to sleep inside of my blood house. Hey, I spent 50 years running round and about, so I NEEDED some rest. Then, the next day Master told me I''d get a servant. I personally never had servants, even as a princess since I risked losing control and eating them, but now he won''t die as easily! Furthermore, it was a handsome virgin. Truly a rare delicacy.
