"Good night, Frank, have sweet dreams."
"Y-Yeah… Thanks…"
Frank noticed that Michael simply watched the city through the windows in silence, without sleeping.
"You don't sleep?"
"I don't really need to… I'll watch over your house at night, so you don't have to worry about uninvited guests trying to do anything funny."
"Thank you…"
Frank slowly fell asleep.
Today was sure a long day, and longer ones were to e…
The world around him constantly shifted, changed, transformed.
It would never truly be like it once was, or like he remembered.
This parallel world had already greatly diverged from its original timeline, being its own thing.
Even more, as visitors from other worlds continued to appear here…
"I finally made it… So is this the world beyond those Dimensional Walls?"
A white-haired child with golden eyes glanced around the city on top of skyscraper, behind him was his mother, with a white and yellow sun-shaped halo floating above her head, her eyes looking unfocused.
"What a strange city… But my children, the humans, live very peacefully here… I am in awe! And there's… no vampires to be seen either? How wonderful. A new world for the taking… I can rebuild my utopia once more here!"
The young boy's eyes showed the tenacity and greed of an ancient being, pletely unrelated to his appearance.
"However… my power is very weak here… I need to slowly recover it."
He looked at the night sky.
"And I also sense… a lot of disgusting auras… So there are indeed vampires here, and other disgusting things… I must get rid of them for my perfect utopia… I must CLEANSE this place."
He smiled confidently, as holy, spiritual beings manifested behind him, resembling eyeballs with many feathered wings and halos shaped like suns.
"Vampire King Noah, so this is where you're hiding, huh? I'll make sure to hunt you down for good. You'll pay for having taken away my world from me… Heh."
As he smiled confidently, suddenly, his smile changed, being more serious, noticing someone walking behind him.
"My lord…"
"You again…?"
He glanced behind him, finding a handsome young man with long blue hair and sharp crimson eyes, wearing a black suit.
Despite being a human, his scent was unmistakenly…
"What do you want now?"
"I am very happy you've managed to reach the next stage, you're slowly acclimating to this world, yes?"
"I am… But I still lack the power."
"I am well aware… Soon, another part of your power should arrive. The body we prepared for you is more fitting, is it?"
"It is… But why?"
"…e again?"
"Why are you filthy Vampires helping me?"
"…"
"You must want something back, I doubt you're helping me out of the goodness of your hearts. Is it not?"
"…Indeed."
Suddenly, several threads appeared around the man's hands, as he smiled.
"What we desire can only be obtained here… With your help. I hope that you will be able to eventually repay our favor."
"…Hmph, I am not as heartless or cold as you vampires, I keep my word. But for now… I require more strength. Until then, watch out. Noah and his family are here."
"We are well aware, we'll continue preparing then. Oh right, the Demons seem quite interested on this world as well. They wanted to speak with you about negotiations."
"Demons now…? Hmm…"
The young boy considered simply rejecting them, but right now, he would greatly benefit from their help for his great scheme to e into fruition.
"What do they want?"
"Human souls."
"…"
The young boy squinted his eyes.
"A fine price to pay for helping me build my utopia… They better offer me something good in exchange."
"But of course. I wouldn't have suggested them if they didn't."
"Then let's go, hurry."
"Yes, over here, my lord."
The young boy walked downstairs back to his house, his "mother" following him around like a silent drone, her eyes unfocused.
As he entered his apartment, there was someone sitting on a couch already, surrounded by three other bodyguards.
He looked like a young man, perhaps on his early twenties, with short red hair, lazy-looking red eyes, and piercings all over his body, alongside tattoos. While wearing a red colored suit and black shoes, he resembled a young yakuza.
His bodyguards were three huge, muscular men, who remained there in silence, with glowing red eyes and powerful auras… and yet, they couldn't pare to their boss' aura.
"So you've finally e to greet me… I've been waiting for like an hour, you know? Fascinated with the view?"
"…"
The young boy, wearing white suit, slowly walked in front of the man and sat down over a couch.
"State your business, demon."
"Heh… You know pretty well I am no simple demon, right? Doesn't my aura tell you who I am?"
"…King of Sloth, of course I know you. You and your ilk were the reasons why I closed my world from the outside universe."
"Hmm~ And that world is now free for the taking, how does that make you feel?"
"If you're here to provoke me, you're not walking out of here alive, demon."
"Ohh, scary~ the baby can talk, haha…"
"…"
"Here."
The demon showed the young boy something, a small red colored pill.
"What's that? A red pill?"
"Yes, it's a pill. Something I've been developing back home… it's called Euphoria. It's an amazing Elixir that can make demons really strong… imagine that on humans now. You're lacking in forces, right? Well, we're both lacking."
"…So?"
"I suggest we work together making these, and we build up a big army to take down the bastards here, then… Um, let's split the world, huh? How about it?"
"Split? No, it's mine, all of it…"
"Now that's unrealistic… you're not the only one aiming for it, you know~"
"…I will consider it. Only if you offer me the recipe."
"Hoh… Fine~ Let's play then. Maybe the baby will change his mind once he sees what we can do then~! But you're giving us some of that power too. What you did to that woman… teach it to us too."
"Hmph… Alright, it's a deal, demon."
"Thank you for your preference…"
