Chapter 2

"I don't know how many years or decades it has been since I came here... I do know that I have gotten a lot stronger; that is why I think I have finished the task that strange being bestowed on me! I don't think that anyone in this world could beat me now. Either they are under my reign, or they have been defeated. I somehow lost most of my human feelings since I came here! What that entity said was true; I am my character, Daion the vampire and not Dary the human. I don't know what will happen to me if I face my friends now... will I be able to be the same as I used to be? Will they even be alive at this point? Would they even recognise me in this form? These questions were circling around me initially, but now, I no longer care; I will do what I see would be the best course of action!"

Monologued Dary as he was sitting on the head of a defeated dragon. The dragon was so giant that Dary was only a tenth of one of its teeth. The dragon had three heads, and only the one Dary was sitting on was still attached to the body of the dragon. The body of the dragon was full of deep cuts, and some parts of it were missing; the surrounding area was devastated, and only molten magma could have been seen as far as the eye could see. As for Dary, he was wearing red plated leggings and boots, dark grey chainmail, and he had sunglasses on. It was red with yellow lances.

"I wonder... what could come next? This dragon was quite fun to play around with but broke far too quickly."

Stated Dary but was interrupted as a golden shining ord descended from the sky and stopped in front of him.

"Nicely done, Daion! Although you took your sweet time defeating everyone, taht is expected considering how much you like... as you would say, "grinding". Anyway, Since you held up your part of our agreement, I am now allowing you to meet with your friends...BUT"

Suddenly the surrounding area and the dragon vanished, and Dary found himself floating in darkness, and the orb was floating right in front of him.

"Your job is not yet finished. I am granting you the power to go to worlds where you have to deal with certain events. Of course, I don't care what you do in those worlds, as long as you do what you have to do..."

Continued the voice but was soon interrupted by Dary.

"Wait, wait, wait! I just finished technically subduing a relatively small world, but still, it is quite some accomplishment! Also, how do you expect me to know what to do in those worlds!"

The voice chuckled and continued.

"Since you did do a splendid job, I will send someone to help you and transmit what you have to do, but judging by your performance, you will have no need for help. As you would say... your gaming instinct is quite proficient. I can say with confidence that you will do just fine. Also, You will have to find your friends in taht world; unfortunately, I don't have the time to find them for you; I hope you will have a pleasant time."

"Thanks!"

Dary crossed his arms, and soon he found himself falling from the sky. He looked down, and a slight smile appeared on his face.

"How nostalgic... Wait, this place doesn't seem right... what was that entity talking about? This world feels like a medieval world... was I lied to? Or are my friends really in this world?"

Before Dary could have landed, he started floating above the ground, and after a moment, he landed and continued his thread of thoughts.

The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.

"Strange, I think I have seen some sort of settlement not far from here... also, just to be safe, let's hide my identity and power as much as possible; who knows what could happen and how powerful opponents could be here."

Dary moved his hand over to his face. The glasses he was wearing vanished with a red glow, and instead, a red helmet appeared on his head, completely hiding his head. He snapped his fingers, and a red cape appeared on his back. On the back of the cape, there was a golden symbol; a drop of some sort of liquid in a circle of leaves. At that time, the same symbol appeared on the front side of his chainmail. Then he started walking.

"Hah, I like red since it is the colour close to me and my powers... I used to have this banned back in the game; if my friends are really here, they will hopefully recognise it."

Thought Dary and started walking faster. After a few minutes of walking, he heard strange noises from behind him. A few humans on horseback were travelling towards him. He slightly slowed down and smiled.

"I have a feeling they are not very friendly... let's see what they will do and act accordingly."

After a few minutes, the people on horseback caught up to him. The men were wearing battered leather armour, and each of them and a sword on their side, and three of them had an extra bow as well.

"Who the hell are you? You look ridiculous in that red armour... also, I don't think taht they are very practical."

Said one of the men while the other people surrounded Dary.

"Thank you for your concern, but your feeble opinion is not needed; they are good for what I use them. Also, I like them, and I don't really care about what others think about them. "

"Hahaha! Boys, we found a newbie here! This area belongs to our leader! Although they look stupid, they could have some value. You know what; if you give us everything you have, we will spare your miserable life!"

The previous man declared and got off of his horse and pointed his sword at Dary; however, Dary didn't care and, after stopping for a brief moment, continued walking. The moment he reached the people in front of him, someone behind him shouted.

"Accid arrow!"

From behind him, a green arrow was fired aimed at him. The spell was about to hit his cape. However, he quickly turned around and grabbed the arrow and crushed it with his bare hand.

"What?! Who the hell are you?! Boss, I think we have offended someone big!"

"Someone big? No, please do not underestimate me. Judging by your attack, this is about the full extent of your power... pity... I was getting excited someone strong come, and I might have to go all out to survive, but you?! Hah! Pathetic!"

Commented Dary and laughed.

"You managed to block a second tier magic big thing! We still have more people, and we will still kill you."

"I take it you are this group's leader... Alright, let's get started."

The moment Dary finished his declaration, everyone was horizontally cleaved into two except for the leader, who was being held in the air by his throat.

"Now, since you offended me, you will tell me everything I want to know!"

"N-no! E-even i-if I die, I w-will not y-yield!"

"I have my own skills up my sleeves."

"W-what?"

"Drain"

Dary's hand started glowing red, and the man he was holding started shaking. The man's eyes filled with blood, and suddenly the skin of his face blew off. Then his eyes gave a similar red glow for a few moments, and then the body turned to dust.

"Hm... I never had the chance to use this... It is quite great with this, I not only torture and kill my target, but also I can extract information from the target, but the weaker my target is, the sooner they die, so this attempt was not very successful. It seems some sort of bandit grout took over taht settlement, I have noticed... I think I will go there and see what is going on. I need a lot more information... Clear"

From Dary's shadow, hands emerged and grabbed the corpses and the horses and pulled them back into his shadow. Everything was devoured; nothing was left behind, not even blood.

"Baharuth Empire, hah? Sounds interesting!"
