From Company Slave To The Prince Of Darkness - 10 Chapter10 ~ Master and Servants

In the game SOUL ADVENTURES!!!, the summoner job class consists of many different varieties – Druid, Necromancer, Priest, Beast Master, Evil Monarch, the classic Lv1 – Lv5 Summoner Class, and many others that were not often used.

As a race of Vampire Prince, Vlad Alucard was able to not only maxed out one, but three of those summoner classes, namely: Lv20 – Druid, Lv20 – Necromancer, and Lv30 – Evil Monarch. Having three different classes in one job was an exception a few races were able to level-up once they’re able to get the specific level required, one of which is the race of Vlad Alucard.

Druid – the first Summoner class that Shiro had maxed out. MP consumption of Druid’s summons is a lot lower than any other summoner class as it only summons monsters that a player already owns. Types of monsters that can be summoned are Pets, Beasts, and low – mid-tier monsters.

Necromancer – the Summoner class that focuses on summoning the undead. Monsters from this class were the monsters Shiro always uses. In MP consumption rate, they’re in the middle. This class also has the highest number and varieties of monsters that can be summoned, from mid – high-tier monsters.

Evil Monarch – This class was considered the hardest and most troublesome class the Summoner job has to offer. MP consumption rate is as high as possible, even a full level mage would only be able to summon up to 4 of the high-class monsters from this class per full bars of MP. This class was not recommended to be used in a Multi-Player Battle Royale and Last Stand game tournaments. But as troublesome as it might sound, this was the class that had helped Shiro to become one of the game’s strongest 1 v 1 players.

[ Haah… ] a long sigh escaped from Shiro. The room was very silent that his sigh resounded throughout the whole mansion.

He was now alone inside the empty living room of the mansion. Looking at the window, it was already dark outside.

He sat and laid his arms on the sofa that was left in the room. He then looked around the room and took a long sigh for a second time.

The room is now empty. The only things that were left inside were the sofa he was sitting at and the lights on the ceilings and on the walls, all because of the reason Baldo had taken almost every furniture that might worth a penny back with him.

( Maybe I need to at least decorate the rooms a little too. ) with that thought in his head, he stood up and walked in the middle of the room.

Shiro then turned his head down and jerk his chin.

( But I need to get helpers first. Hmm… Maybe… Un, Vampire Brides it is. )

Back at Carla and Shiro’s first meeting, when Shiro had heard the word “Slaves”, his summons, Vampire Brides was the first thing that came into his mind, not the literal human slaves.

Back in the game, “SOUL ADVENTURES, when players hear the words “Servants, or maybe “Slaves”, the first thing that will come out of their minds were the necromancer class summon – Vampire Brides. And the reason for that was because, in their in-game lore, Vampire Brides are the servant of one of the most famous bosses in the game, Demon Lord Kerthus. It was said that their only purpose was to become slaves to the Demon lord.

And so – with that thought in mind, Shiro shouted:

[ Summon: Vampire Brides! ]

Immediately, dark particles of light appeared in front of Shiro. They moved inconsistently into the air as if they have lives of their own. Then, after just a few seconds, two figures of female humans kneeling in front of Shiro appeared in place of the dark particles.

The two female figures in front of Shiro were pale. The color of their skins has a mix of blue and white; it resembled the color of a dead, lifeless body, in their eyes are snake-like pupils, and the hair on their heads was long and black.

Seeing that the summon was successful, a feeling of excitement swell up inside Shiro.

( So it’s still the same as it was in the game, huh? ) Shiro muttered inside his head.

What Shiro was referring to, was the number of Vampire Brides he was able to summon. In the game, the summons of Vampire Brides always consists of a pair, and that fact also seems to be working in this world.

[ [ You have summoned us, our lord. ] ] the two Vampire Brides in front of him said at the same time. Their voice was quiet yet it was sweet at the same time. Their tone also has gratitude and respect on it, only their faces were expressionless and they weren’t able to show it properly.

[ [ Please order us without any restrains. ] ]

( Base on their response, everything seems to be okay… )

[ Un… If that is so, then come with me. ] Shiro said in a rather very calm manner.

[ [ Yes! ] ]

With that, Shiro started to walk, and soon later, the Vampire Brides behind him stood up and followed.

Shiro thought that ordering humans was very different from ordering NPCs. In his mind, NPCs don’t have any will of their own, unlike a human being.

Shiro had reached this conclusion by looking at the expressionless looks on the Vampire Brides’ faces.

[ Hmm… ] with Shiro crossing his arms as he walks, he started to think again.

He then stopped when he reached a rather large empty space of the room. Looking around the large space, he raised one of his arms to the front and a black transparent wall appeared where it was pointing at.

And there, large quantity of furnitures spat out –

SFX:BAM! BAM! BAM!

Chairs, tables, lights, chandeliers, kitchen utensils, doormats, musical instruments, mats, and every other kind of possible furniture escaped from the black transparent wall in front of Shiro.

The items that suddenly appeared were items Shiro had chose from his inventory. They were items he had bought with his in-game coins from the game. They were supposed to be decorations to be put in his very first guild, but at the time he was invited by an elite group of roleplaying players, he had abandoned them and started to buy furniture that resembles the fashion of Vlad more.

[ I want you to decorate all of the rooms of this mansion with all of this… things. Well, you two are undead so I’m sure you don’t have the need to sleep, right…? ]

( Wait… can they even understand words that were not recognized by their commands now they’re alive in this world…? )

In the game, NPCs have a very advanced A.I used in them so that they will be able to recognize commands by words. But still, no matter how advanced the A.I was, it was still not able to recognize words that were not starting or ending with a command.

( If that is so, then – )

[ [ Un, if that is what you wish, we will fulfill it as fast and effectively as possible. ] ] interrupting his thoughts, the two Vampire Brides nodded and replied those words with great enthusiasm at the exact same time as the other.

[ …

]

( …They surely do not reply to players like this at the game… )

Shiro was baffled as it was the first time he had felt any emotions coming from the voice of the NPCs. When he had summoned them, the words they had replied with were the same scripted words they would say in the game. But now, they had replied to him with great emotions in their words.

( It seems, they too work differently in this world… )

[ It seems you have understood, then, I will leave you two here. I’m going to rests for the night. You two can rest as well if you feel like it. ]

[ [ Rest is a very disgraceful thing us, Vampire Brides can do if the tasks given to us by our lord are not yet finished. Please don’t mind us, master! We will accompany you when we finish our task. ] ]

( Are the two of them just one person in two bodies…? All the movements and the words they say are in perfect sync… ) he thought with a perplexed look on his face.

[ Is that so? Then, please do and finish it as soon as possible. ]

[ Yes! We will grind ourselves! ]

[ Please don’t do that… ] Shiro muttered in a voice that was impossible for anyone to hear.

And so, leaving those words behind, Shiro walked towards the large stairs and went to the 2nd floor of the mansion. There, he saw the largest doors in the mansion yet. Shiro walked towards it and immediately opened it with both of his arms.

The room Shiro went inside was the Master’s Bedroom.

The inside of the room was very luxurious that it almost doesn’t need any kind of furniture to even further its elegance. The walls were white and it almost seems as if it was shining.

In the middle of the room laid a large, also, luxurious bed that somehow Baldo did not take with him.

( I wonder why he left it… )

[ Appraisal! ]

( Item: Bed )

Endurance: 200

Hit Points: 2000

Item Tier: 3

Effects: none

[ Nothing special, huh? He must’ve forgotten to take it with him too. ]

( Anyway, It’s mine now. )

With those words inside his head, he immediately jumped at the bed and laid his body to rest. This action reminded him of the last time he was able to properly get some rest at his apartment room.

[ Now that I think about it… Only a day had passed since I somehow got here… But really… It feels like a lot had already happened… Haah… It was very hard to talk with strangers too…! It’s been a long time since I was able to talk with someone other than my co-workers and my old friends… ] muttering those words, Shiro closed his eyes.

Although Shiro’s new body was that of an Undead which never tires, Shiro still got mentally exhausted by all the things that had happened, so his mind sought to rest.

[ Well, maybe this is really all just a long dream… ]

And so –

Shiro’s mind went to a deep slumber.
