"Holla, who is this?" A sickly kid around 12 years old sitting in a wheelchair said while picking up his phone. his voice was weak as if he hadn't spoken in a long time.
"Hey, I wanted to speak to Collin Matthews." A grown man said from the other end of the phone, causing the kid to be stunned for a moment. he looked at the phone for a second, looking at the unknown number before speaking.
"thats, that's me," he said, not knowing who would want to contact him. it couldn't be a family member as he had cut contact with all of them and was receiving special care elsewhere, it was a long and annoying process to reach this far, and he was uneasy with them trying to call back wanting his money
"... you sound like a kid. Is this the same one who played Dracula?" the grown man asked with a stone voice, catching Dracula off guard. he was stunned, could someone have contacted him wishing to buy his account so easily? but he was not selling.
"y-yes, but sorry I'm not selling this account," Collin said softly, to which the person on the other end said nothing, although it sounded like he put his palm over the phone while he spoke to someone before he gave them the phone
"H-holla." a kid's voice sounded, around 10 years old. Collin at this point was confused, not knowing what was going on, but before he could ask the kid spoke
"I'm Touch Me..." The kid said leaving Collin speechless for a moment before he laughed catching the kid off guard, but the laugh quickly disappeared as the kid began coughing nonstop,
"You were a kid this whole time? thats so cool, all this time I thought my best friend was a grown man." Collin said softly,
"I'm sorry, I lied to you guys..." On the other end, the kid went on and explained, sounding as if he was holding back some tears. he explained how the account was once his father, but at some point his father let him play with it from time to time, and before long it was his account.
When Touch Me first bumped into the soon-to-be members of Ainz Ooal Gown, the account was his, he was better than his father at the game, and had even done things like becoming a world Champian which impressed his dad... but he was not a working member of society.
when the guild requirements to join the guild were created, there were only 3 requirements.
First, they had to be a working member of society.
Secondly, they had to be a heteromorphic race.
There was a hidden criterion to become a member of Ainz Ooal Gown: they needed approval from a majority vote. This was a rule passed down from the very beginning.
everyone wanted there to be such a rule, so Touch Me had no choice, he made a small lie that wasn't completely a lie. In a way, this was his dad's account, just passed down to him.
"... I'm sorry, because of me you were banished." The kid said softly, to which Collin waved off with a weak laugh
"It's alright, it's just 3 years... plus, I had slowed down on playing games to sell. take it as a small break, after it's all done I will return once more to become the champion of the 9 realms," Collin said trying his best to show how not playing the game wouldn't bother him... but it did bother him a lot.
"... b-but the game will..." the kid could continue his words, not sure of what he could say. how can he break the news to Dracula that the game will end soon?
"I will see if the guild would want to play in a new game, this way we can all hang out. the 41 of us." the kid said softly, Collin shook his head
"Although I want to, I want to spend these next 3 years playing and selling games. I should leave this planet as quickly as I could. if I could go to Mars or Venus, I could get the help I need. I'm trying to time it right, so I can be up and walking by the time the 3-year mark is up. I also want to have extra money," Collin said with a smile, but the phone suddenly hung up leaving him stunned. he tried to call back his friend, but the phone rang for some time, without anyone answering, so he texted him... but no answer.
"What happened?" Dracula mumbled, waking himself up from his dreams. Dracula had a blank look for a moment but saw Renner who was fast asleep in his arms. Dracula sat up, looking at his ring, it was this ring which allowed him to fall asleep. Dracula slowly got out of bed and went off to take a bath,
"Poseidon, relaxing bath today," Dracula said softly, to which Poseidon got right to it, making the water as relaxing as he could, before getting out. at that time, today's maid came to wake up Dracula, only to be stunned upon seeing he was already awake.
"Sorry Foire, but I had a dream, the first in ages," Dracula said softly, causing the maid who felt like someone stole work to bow deeply
"My lord, you need not apologize... I would have felt deep regret if I were to have awakened you from a dream." She bowed, to which Dracula smiled slightly and said nothing else as she came over to watch him, which he was used to by now... although he had to use blood magic to stop something from growing.
after she was done, she stepped aside and went over today's plan, but Dracula had her stop it as he had to meet with Evileye today. but before that, he wished to go speak with AInz about something. so, after drying him and dressing him, Dracula left.
"Should there not be 2 maids? is it not tiring to do everything?" Dracula asked while they walked through the hall of Nazarick,
"No, it's I jump which I take great joy in... please, don't take it away." She said with a bow, every day a new maid came, but they all pretty much shared the same view on the matter, Dracula sighed saying nothing else, as they quickly arrived in the throne room.
"the married man... shouldn't you be with your wife?" Ainz said while sitting on the throne, Dracula blushed slightly at his words.
"I don't know about that, I came to ask a few questions since you're more knowledgeable about this topic than me," Dracula said, to which Ainz had a confused look, waiting for me to continue, seeing as Dracula looked towards Albedo and Foire, he had them give them some privately, allowing Dracula to speak without much embarrassment
"Undead should have immunity to mind control? but last night... well, I don't know if Renner did something or not. but my mind was weakened. swallowed by pleasure and other stuff, I couldn't control myself. then I released something, it wasn't pee. I know it was cum, but it made me go weak. undead should be immune to energy drain right?" Dracula said softly, leaving Ainz speechless for some time. Ainz opened and closed his mouth.
"cough, Dracula do you know the story of Bee and the Birds?" Ainz asked, to which Dracula shook his head, he was alone most of his life. Ainz Ooal Gown was the only place he felt like he had a home,
"... I see. well, I guess I should tell you." Ainz said, taking the role of a grown-up passing on his teaching, since Dracula trusted him so much to come to tell him such things, wouldn't it be rude to ignore him?
"I see... I guess I can understand why sex trafficking is such a thing. but I will never have sex again," Dracula said calmly, confusing Ainz.
"It's... well, too addictive. you said as one grows older a person's sex drive drops. but I'm immortal, I wish for me to have perfect control over my body." Dracula said, to which AInz could say nothing, he just watched as Dracula got up and left with a speechless look, before looking at the ring Dracula had given him.
A ring Dracula wished for, the Ring Of Humanity. when he wears it, he can turn into a human with 1/10 his status. It was this ring that allowed him to become Momon and be there for Dracula's wedding and also enjoy the drinks of this world, and he was shocked to see how good they were. of course, he didn't need the ring to have a child... there were other ways.
Dracula left Nazarick, heading towards the Re-Estize Kingdom, where Evileye had been waiting for him. when she sensed him, she flew out and went to see him. but they didn't talk in the kingdom, instead, Dracula cast Teleport, having them go to a cliff that had a nice view to speak.
"What did you want to speak about?" Evileye asked while sitting next to Dracula, she noticed Dracula was avoiding eye contact with him and now she didn't think it was so simple as him being controlled to kill others.
"... let me first tell you my story," Dracula said softly, to which Evileye just stood up
"if you're not ready to tell me, I don't want to hear it." She said making Dracula stunned for a moment before he shook his head
"now is the best time to tell you... so please listen." Dracula said softly, still avoiding eye contact with Dracula. Evileye frowned for a moment before sitting down and awaiting Dracula to speak.
"... there was once a human, a cripple. a weak human not even level 1, but he managed to transform into a vampire one day and change his fate. he quickly skyrockets to being the best and strongest, which leads to many people targeting him. One day he is amused and is going to be killed. when a man in silver armor appeared, nearly dying himself, but he managed to save the vampire. from there, the two became friends. he had already started a clan so that vampire joined." Dracula said softly, confusing Evileye
"This clan only had 9 of them, and this clan soon grew to become known as Ainz Ooal Gown, which quickly went on to become the strongest and number one guild. a guild like none other as it had two of the best players. Touch Me who was the 3rd best, and the vampire who was ranked number 1." Dracula said while looking at the sky with a lost look, while everything else kicked with Evileye
"one day, 9 guilds joined forces, targeting the guild. but to do this, they had to remove their strongest player. one with strength above level 100, one capable of fighting 100 level 100 players. so used a world item on him, banishing him before they attacked Nazarick. but they failed to understand that even without that vampire, Ainz Ooal Gown would still be ranked number 1 by a landslide." Dracula said with a prideful smile.
"they were crushed, all slaughtered. with many of them hunted down for banishing that vampire... but this made the guild feel incomplete, infighting broke out and one by one, everyone left the guild, leaving Momonga to manage everything and keep the guild running all by himself. but one day, something pulled Momonga and the guild into this unknown world, no one knowing that a vampire had turned to this world just in time to be pulled along with the guild." at this point, Evileye wasn't able to remain come
"w-was it all a lie?" Evileye asked while looking at Dracula with tears in her eyes, but Dracla still couldn't look at her.
"to rule this world, an act was played out... we took advantage of the incomplete history of this world, made allies going far back to an age no one knew anything about. our creations, our children played their world as the evil demon lords, or crazy vampires in love, while we played the role of a hero. drawing everyone's attention from Ainz Ooal Gown, lessening the hatred and fear they should have had. but it was not all alone." Dracula said softly,
"We do want to improve the Magic of this world, in 99 years, more players will appear, we need to get ready for their arrival. we plan to improve the overall reality of magic, both tier magic and wild magic, we would rule by peaceful means, not cruel ways, this is why we did everything we did." Dracula said softly
"I thought you were dead, I thought..." Evileye stood up, glaring at Dracula with a look that said she was stabbed in the back with a cold hot knife. she cried her tears out for Dracula thinking he was dead, she was willing to throw her life away to cast a spell just to allow Dracula to rest in piece. if at any point Dracula had asked her to leave with her, she would have done so without a care for what she was leaving behind.
"I'm sorry, but for my guild... it comes first above anything else, even my personal feelings. thats the only home I have ever had, the only place where people welcomed me. we spent years making the guild what it is, I will protect it with my life if needed." Dracula said softly
"... are you going to kill me if I refuse to follow you" Evileye asked through tears, Dracula shook his head slightly
"I can't... you're the first person I fell in love with. my first love, I will not stop you if you choose to turn your blade towards me. I will take it as I deserve it. but not Ainz Ooal Gown." Dracula said while getting up, Evileye stepped forward her delicate little arms punched forward and slammed into Dracula's chest with zero power
"I hate you... you're a jerk." She screamed, while Dracula just took the attacks, if she wanted to attack him seriously, she could have used magic.
"tell me everything..." She said as she stopped venting, and Dracula did as she asked, telling her everything from Renner to even Chita. Evileye said nothing, for some time as she just processed everything given to her
"you won... now what?" Evileye asked softly,
"I will return to Nazarick, we need to strengthen our hold on each kingdom," Dracula said, making Evileye node slightly,
"t-than I will join you," Evileye said, stunning Dracula who looked at her in confusion.
"If you would have asked me to join you, I would have done so... I love you, I just hate you could lie to me like this all that time," Evileye said softly, making Dracula look away in shame,
"you were also my first love, my first kiss... and it's not like I cared to be a hero in the first place," Evileye said softly,
"I'm sorry..." Dracula said in a soft voice, to which Evileye nodded
"you should be... and you owe me for lying to me all this time," Evileye said seriously, to which Dracula nodded slightly...
