Sean realized a hate for non-humans when he knew that they were near impossible for him to control. Not only did the effectiveness of his powers drop off dramatically against non-humans, they were stronger than humans and were nearly impossible to manage the same way. He had always been a vain man, trying to control people and get rid of those he couldn’t even on Earth. It was much smaller scale, since he was only a mid-rank politician, but he was still involved in a number of murders surrounding people who would defame or oppose him. When it became possible to wage war against those who disagreed with him, Sean felt no options but to make sure that he held a stable place on this planet.

It wasn’t to say that Sean had always been like this, but he always thirsted for more power as any politician does. Having gone from a state senator to King of an entire race of people had put his thirst for power on a whole new level. His only desire was to become even more powerful, king of the entire planet was his goal now. He knew only how to gain more people and power, and that was through war. When he was notified that he had caused another wave of humans to enter this planet, he thought first about how best to subjugate them to his control. His goal had gone from saving humanity to subjugating a planet, though it could have always been said that he never cared especially for saving humanity. He only cared about what his best interests were, and as he grew more charismatic by leveling up, he continued to gain stronger control over people.

Not only had he grown stronger, but he realized that he had grown stronger than most people regardless of race. Sean also realized that his charisma had reached the highest in the world, being at a value of 7,770 with bonuses. It was a ridiculous value, but he had also achieved ridiculous feats, overcoming an entire race of people, and even luring some in from other races. The truth was, Sean’s vanity was his real downfall. Something that had started back when he was a child.

He had grown up poor, with his parents encouraging an education. He quickly realized that lying was the only way for him to fit in, since his parents were both of much lower financial standings than the rest of his class. The lies only continued to pile on when he was awarded a scholarship to a prestigious high school. In college, he quit lying about money, but began lying excessively about relationships and dating. A girl he dated had discovered his lies, and he ended up killing her to keep the relationship he had just started. This had marked his first killing, and also the beginning of his political career. He ended up marrying the girl he dated this last time, and he father got him involved in city management. It was a very small time position, but considering his background, he was happy about it.

As he grew older, the lies and murders continued stacking up, even though the murders often went to third parties in exchange for payment. He wanted to keep his hands off the blood, and knew how to hide enough money to pay for at least a couple accidents a year. As he grew older, he began a safe deposit box to use for the assassinations he would need. He funded it with gambling, something that almost always turned a profit when he played poker. His natural charisma and attitude putting people into a false sense of security, or bluffing them out. Even when he didn’t end up successful, he he often put a sum into the deposit box that would pay for another advancement to his career.

When he was sucked into this other world, he saw an opportunity, an opportunity like no other to grow his political standing. Instead of aiming for president, why not aim for king. Instead of just a country, why not aim for a planet. It was these thoughts that drove Sean to act the way he did on this planet, and also why he began a crusade against all that opposed him. Without the ability to retaliate, those in his kingdom had no choice but to do what he said. Sean had been given an ability that allowed him to become king of a nation of slaves, people that wouldn’t care what lies they were told, and would never question a word he said. This lifestyle gave him a feeling of absolute power, the feeling he had been looking for all his life, but now he needed to cement it further.

The entire group had obtained skills and abilities, not to mention levels and advancements that put them at a level few could hope to reach. Natural abilities and faster advancement through accomplishments were the only things that could bring other beings close to their average overall stats. Overcoming them would be near impossible for most, since the powerups obtained for reaching higher advancements was even more distancing than the difference in stats that often occurred. Gregory’s magical prowess was almost unprecedented, despite his physical exploits lacking even compared to most base level races. Since where Gregory and the rest of the group currently were was not on the map he had purchased from the map vendor, Gregory would need to find his way back onto that map before he could teleport at will. It was a stipulation of his powers, he could only teleport to places for which he knew how to get to. Otherwise, it could land him off of where he would want to be. Whether that would be in another plane, on a different planet entirely, or at a location far above where he actually wanted to be was uncertain. He also knew that it would cost him exponentially more to travel if it was to an unknown spot, which is what really bothered him.

It took time to travel in this way, going by foot over a planet was time-consuming, especially when it was impossible to tell where on the world the location was. It was easy moving through these parts, the power they had gained being a major boon to their speed. When it was possible to defeat even the strongest enemies without using full power, making their way to where the humans were was only a matter of time. Due to racial abilities, it was possible for the beast-kin to find their way home, which would likely get them to a place where It would be possible for Gregory to transport them back to the human civilization.

As the group traveled, they met many unique creatures, as well other sentient beings who had set out on their own to grow in power. There were a few giants, and a number of trolls out here. Despite sentience, they were not particularly aware. Trolls were the least intelligent race, most barely able to keep themselves at a sane level. Giants weren’t any smarter naturally, but they had a unique racial skill that gave them a very real ability to get along with other sentient races. They were able to understand that the humans were practically killing themselves off, even if it wasn’t to the same degree as a being with a neutral or positive intelligence modifier would.

There wasn’t much going on in the way of relationships right now, everybody was too focused on travel. It ended up taking a month and a half for them to make it to a location that Gregory recognized as part of his map, he had come to realize the world was much larger than he had initially assumed. Four levels were gained by Gregory, netting him 96 stat points.
