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,
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
“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
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.
