Year 19 "…and stay away from my daughter, mage minion!" you hear the angry farmer shout as you run away and still attempting to get your pants back on. You soon make it out of Dert and take a breather. Ever since the citizens of Dert finally realized that you were "working" for Ral, (Nobody ever really bought the he...
While you're going to have to stomp through the swamps eventually, if you can avoid the areas that contain vicious invisible beasts that would probably be better for your survival. "Okay, we'll take the long way." You say. "Probably for the best." Tych remarks. As you and Tych travel through the forest, you find that...
You quickly grab one of the many reeds nearby, break it and put it in your mouth as you sink underneath the muddy water you've been stomping through. You just hope that YOU don't get stomped on. Getting trampled on by multiple lizard feet would be a pretty ignoble death. Of course this isn't even counting whatever the...
You suppose it doesn't hurt to hear more. It is true that they need all the help they can get and it wouldn't be so terrible to have a group of wizards watching your back. You decide that you'll visit their temple tomorrow night. The next night before you leave for the Dornan Temple, you command that Lisa is to be mor...
You can't do it. It's not right. You made her into this and she's your responsibility now. For good or ill. "Lisa, come on it's time to go." You say. "I know, I know. Back to the crypt." Lisa says. "No, we're moving out of there. We're going…well I'm not sure yet. But we're going." "Wait. So…no more Isabella? It's jus...
You thought about letting Lisa scout ahead before the journey started, but you've sort of reassessed that idea. You still remember when you were a human and how you easily got lost in this damn forest, which is what caused you to bump into Ral in the first place. You've traveled this area so much in the past that it w...
Lisa's a big ghoul, she's going to have to fend for herself. Besides, the best way you can defend her is if you kill Travis as quick as possible. Since Travis likes to talk shit, you might as well respond in kind. "Okay Travis, you got me on that one. Cherish the moment because it's the last chance you're going to ge...
You really don't want to start all over again with finding or building another home. You're comfortable here and don't want to move. So if this one last thing means you get to stay here, then so be it. "Very well, I'll help, but what if I can't get in anyway?" you ask. "Well, we might have to come back to reassess a n...
Chapter 3C2: Price of Freedom Year 30 "No, no, no, you can't play that card." You say. "Oh. Um…okay then this one." Lisa says. You play your own card that easily beats the rest of Lisa's hand. "I hate this stupid game." She exclaims and throws her cards down on the table causing you to smile a bit. "Well you're ge...
Maybe your feelings have faded. Hell, maybe you didn't even ever truly love her to begin with, but you still feel responsible enough for her situation that you're not giving up on Lisa. "I'm doing it. I can make this work." You say. "Very well." Isabella remarks with a bit of a sigh. "I have to say, I'm still sort of ...
Year 25 How the hell do you keep a vast underground crypt clean? Answer: You don't. One thing you never knew about vampires is how they can become obsessed with the smallest details. Probably has to do with the enhanced senses. Isabella apparently is a neat freak and due to this quirk she spent most of her time rear...
Year 21 When you first started messing around with Lisa, she was just like all the other young Dert girls that had started taking an interest in you when you started coming around a lot more. Just a bored girl that found you to be a spark of excitement in her backwards little village. Lisa however, stood out mainly b...
Year 23 "HHHHHHHHHH!" you gasp as you suddenly sit up from a table. Cold air emanates from your mouth though you don't feel very cold. You don't feel much of anything except a mild sense of panic and confusion. You briefly look at body which is completely naked and see that you are now a pale blue coloring. You look...
Given your recent exchange with Ral and your own suspicious nature, you question if Ral intends on releasing you. Perhaps getting rid of Ral IS the way to go and this would be the best time to do it. You're still under the effects of the geas, and any violent action towards Ral by you would be met with immediate pain,...
Considering you don't trust wizards anyway, you might well check out the ones that are already here. You're going to just be on your guard as usual. You figure while you're at it, you can look into trying to find out what happened to Lisa and if she's still around. You ask the apothecary where the temple is since it i...
Year 27 This religious war has been the most fun you've had in a long time. While you've mostly been taking advantage of the chaos that the city has been plaguing the city again, you have also been working along side Heather in her efforts to take down the other religious factions. Heather isn't supposed to be engag...
Year 26 It's amazing how things can be going fairly well for you, and you'll still find shit to be dissatisfied about. What might be worse is the new nature of you "confinement." It's another gilded cage. (Or fancy crypt in this case.) While not much is ever demanded of you, Isabella definitely is treating you less t...
It may not be much and you may not entirely be satisfied with it, but this is your home for now and if you're ever going to leave it, it's going to be on your own terms, it won't be due to getting run off. You calm down a bit and gather your thoughts. "Okay, if these are also Joachimites that we're also dealing with,...
Year 34 Maldito; the village of ghouls and your ruling capital. Though you aren't exactly sure now if what you're ruling is worth all that much. Green Eye was terrorizing the villages in the area long before you showed up and was still terrorizing them for you when you arrived. It wasn't hard to intimidate them into...
You're not so much trusting the dop, so much as you're going to take a chance that it fears you enough that it's being honest. Since if it IS telling the truth and willing to work for you, he would come in pretty handy. Still, you're going to be careful as you can about this. "Okay, first of all, are you absolutely S...
You might as well start making ghouls if you're going to be using this place as your new home now. You'll feel safer if with absolutely loyal day guards around anyway. You call everyone to the village square the following night. It's a little surprising for everyone, but of course they don't want to disobey you. "Oka...
Year 31 You finish drinking your fill of the girl and release her though she still clings to you tightly like you're her entire world despite the fact that she's already married to some young man in this village.. As usual you have left this one alive since the less outright deaths the better. Besides, the more you fe...
Chapter 3C1: The Beast Unleashed Year 30 "Well of course there are vampire hunters running around in Holgard now. I told you that you probably needed to start showing a bit of restraint now that the religious factions aren't killing each other anymore." Isabella remarks. "You said that Holgard was a perfect spot fo...
Considering that Lisa is supposed to be a well trained assassin that knew what you were before you even met her, seems like if she was going to do any real damage, she would have at least loaded her pistol with silver shot or something similar. You're going to chalk it up to an accident for now, besides you've already...
Year 34… The more Holgard changes the more it stays the same. It's a good thing everyone has such short memories here. Then again, hard for anyone to worry about vampires when nobody actually found you. Most of the real hunters have moved on. There's still the Joachimites, but they're more likely to go burn a poor ol...
Year 25 "I've looked through ALL of Ral's writings along with researching various tomes we have at the temple and I can't figure out exactly WHAT he did to you. I mean I can guess what he did, but even if I'm right, I still have no idea how to reverse it." Heather remarks. You know Heather's done more than you ever e...

Maybe it's because you're in a shitty situation yourself that you're feeling a bit sorry for the pitiful creature that presumably just lost its mother and now has to fend for itself. "Fuck it." You say, and slowly start backing away, though the beast never lets its own guard down. "What the hell are you doing. Shoot t...
You're not paying him shit, this is probably some sort of set up. "Yeah, I think I'm good on my own." You say. "Grm. Suit yerself." Warts says and then without another word he disappears back into the forest. You thought for sure he'd at least try to lower his price if you declined his help, but you guess not. In any...
"No, I don't think so. If you're as powerful as you say you are, there's gotta be a catch if you want me to willingly agree to help you." You say. "Hmm, you're more clever than you look, but perhaps a bit short sighted as potential opportunity. You can't gain something without risk, boy. Oh well, I won't bother you any...
You aren't going to let this fat fuck get a chance to possibly shoot you in the back, plus you're too pissed about him trying to molest you. With a couple quick moves you pull out your dagger, stab him in his arm and relieve him of his fancy pistol. Graham screams out like a little girl and now pleads for his miserabl...
You wake up fairly early, but then you didn't really sleep much to begin with. This was more of a brief rest anyway. After a quick check to see if anyone is in the area, you get out of your bloody clothes and change into some new ones. You might not be properly clean, but it's better than you were. You then check you...
"BUST IT DOWN!" a voice shouts followed by the splintering of your door. You're barely awake before you're rushed by several men dressed in chainmail. "DON'T MOVE!" one shouts as several spears are pointed directly at you. "What's going on?!" "Shut up!" one of the men says and pokes you in the chest with his spear ha...
These soldiers seem to have made up their mind about you and trying to explain things is probably just going to get you a beating. You figure if you're going before a judge, you can always explain things to him and hope he takes mercy, though you aren't optimistic about it. Lacking any other plan, you just sit in sile...
Six months later… As you sit counting your ill-gotten loot from the latest traveling merchant in town, your girlfriend is watching you with an exasperated expression. Of course she tends to look like that a lot. "Ugh. This part is soooo boring! I dunno why you didn't steal the jewelry, I liked some of those necklaces...

Chapter 2E: Partners In Crime Year 17 "Annah, I know how to pick a fucking lock, will you stop bitching? This is for your benefit. Are you even paying attention?" you say. "Yes, I'm fucking paying attention. I'm just getting bored and you're taking too fucking long. If I wanted that experience I'd just suck your dic...
Maybe you're no longer with Annah, but if you're going to start fucking whores, you could still do better than Randi. "No thanks, I'm good." You say. "Hm, I understand. Still holding a candle for her huh? Y'know, anytime I saw you two together she was bitching at you. If you ask me, you seem like you're better off any...
No, you went down that road before. Not going down it again especially not with someone you know practically nothing about. And you certainly aren't going to take the risk of robbing Kenzer's. There are easier targets, no need to take unnecessary chances. You just hope she doesn't fuck things up for you when she goes ...
Year 23 "Here you go, but Hank you really need to start going easy on this shit. It's getting a little harder to get. It's almost as if the Klyton medical school is starting to realize their Numb supply is getting stolen." You say giving Hank his fix. "Can't you just go steal from the hospital?" Hank asks. "Well yes I...
Year 25 "Think it's time to leave Klyton." Zalmora remarks. "You think so?" you respond. "With the increase in Klyton militia activity in the city? Yeah. Unless you're thinking about a career change." "Are you thinking about one?" "Eh, there are times when I think about what else I could be doing with my life, but pre...
Year 27 "You sure you're going to be fine going to see Flameflower and her gang of reprobates by yourself?" you ask Zalmora. "I'll be more than fine. Flame's been overjoyed to have someone that can get various supplies for her on a regular basis, so she's probably been friendlier with me than she was in the Talons. We...
Year 32 "So yeah, they're going to start rebuilding that old Fel temple in the jungle and turning it into a headquarters soon." Marco tells you. "So Annah told me." You answer. "All the Black Hooks might soon be incorporated into the Syndicate proper as well, rather than just as associates. I don't think we would have...
Chapter 3E: Reunited Year 30 None of your dealings with gangs has ever been positive which is why its odd that you inadvertently became looked up to one. Granted it's made up of a bunch of snot nosed teenagers, but they've been trying to emulate you for years since they were snot nosed kids. The Black Hooks have ...
Year 32 "So yeah, they're going to start rebuilding that old Fel temple in the jungle and turning it into a headquarters soon." Marco tells you. "Hm, looks like the Syndicate is moving quicker everyday." You answer. "Yeah, but its good. I mean I know you told us all to watch our asses, but so far the Syndicate members...
You briefly think about emptying out the store's till and taking all that coin along with the Blue Dream to Flame, but is that really going to work? If Flame has already suddenly taken Zal hostage, chances are she'll just keep everything you bring and kill the pair of you. It's an impossible situation and the more you...
You wake up and find that it's now nighttime. You groggily look around and don't see Annah. You call out to her, but there is no answer. You sit up and after stretching a bit, you suddenly have a horrible realization. "Oh shit. Shit! Shit! No, no, no, no. Fuck!" you say as you immediately go to the loose floorboard u...
Chapter 1: Dark Beginnings Well, you did it again. You slacked off all semester and didn't study for your finals. There's no way you're going to pass your nature magic test tomorrow. Those things are always killers. You don't even know why you enrolled in that class; you aren't even interested in being a nature mage....
Chapter 2: Death Awaits Serena's right, you're going to need the help of others and you head to Mr. Demar's office. Mr. Demar's class was probably the only one you didn't struggle in too much. It's not really a popular field given that conjuration can lead to summoning demons. Still, there is use for it on a minor le...
You feel compelled to follow the voice and you head down the left corridor where eventually you come across a demon sitting in a couched position in a circle. He's looking at the chalk that creates the circle around him, before looking up at you. He's a lot bigger and meaner looking than even the demons you've met on c...
You begin to concentrate and prepare for whatever is coming at you. A couple of zombies enter and as soon as they see you they shamble over. You maintain your calmness and focus, backing up only to get out their reach. It's not work though, but you refuse to give up so you do something that you never thought you'd eve...
Mr. Demar is a powerful wizard and he's already got help, along with the help you sent and also the help that's coming. You need to do something about this time problem. When you get to the east campus, the demonologist was right, you see a lot of weird things going on, nearby plants are growing older and younger befo...
Your thirst to get rid of one of your rivals overcomes you and he is closer, so you continue your march towards where he's located, it doesn't take long as you just follow the heavier population of undead wandering around. You continue to easily take control of his unsupervised troops. At last you reach the heart of h...
As much as raising undead colossuses would be cool, you decide that taking over the Brot Kingdom will be easier and you'll be able to take out Trelik at the same time. "I think I'll go with my plan of attacking the Brot Kingdom." "You just want to be all macho and kill Trelik." "Maybe…does it turn you on?" "Ha ha. Per...
Ah the time honored the tradition of all true rulers… "Catalina, I think it's time we expand." You say walking into her study. "Oh you do, do you? Well, there's no shortage of places. Got somewhere in particular in mind?" "A few places, but this is sort of why I'm talking to you, I figure it'll be good to have your in...
Why mess around with a middle man, when you can control the ghouls yourself? You order your troops to attack, at which point the Ghoul King orders his ghouls to do likewise, as he attempts to slaughter his way through your army to get to you! "Little necromancer, did you really think you could intimidate me? I am sti...
Catalina has a way of swaying you to her plan. (She does have experience in enchantment after all) She knew the whole raising undead giants thing would appeal to you! Of course you actually have to kill them first. "Alright Catalina, we'll go with this plan, but I'm going to do it personally, so you're in charge of th...
You can't put up with this asshole anymore. You had to put up with him as a kid and as a teenager and even when you went away to college! Well no more! You're a lot more powerful and you're going to finally teach the old man a lesson. You unleash a death cloud upon your Dad and his company, most of them fall to their ...
Sometimes it takes a "bad guy" to take out another bad guy, maybe even two… "Catalina I think it's time to attack Velzix." You say walking into her study. "Oh you do huh? Got a plan in mind of how to go about it? Because it's not going to be easy." "Well I figured we'd just go in there and chop his head off." You laug...
You need to keep Velzix as occupied as possible, before he starts opening up portals to summon in reinforcements because if he gets a chance to do that, you're fucked. Using tremendous power you summon up revenants. Souls of the dead who harbor a desire for revenge against their killer and given how many Velzix has ki...
You can better appreciate what you have when all those that would do you harm are gone. You order an attack of the largest size. While you're attacking from several directions, you decide to focus specifically on the Zalan Empire given that they're glue holding the Grand Alliance together. Get rid of them and you've e...
"I'm sorry." You say calmly and blast your sister with powerful beam of negative energy causing the color to drain from her face and turn her hair completely white. She's still continues towards you, but another blast causes her to fall. She looks up at you with tears in her eyes and to your surprise she attempts to re...
This isn't "your time" and something is very different. You can sense it. Something is here that wasn't before. You quickly scan the room again and from the far left side of the room you hear a little giggle. One of tentacle creatures appear once again and you fight back the nausea long enough to cast a blast of nega...
Chapter 4: Even Death May Die Five years pass… It's been ten years since you took control of Aftermath and many changes have come about. Without Velzix's brutal leadership, his realm soon broke apart. Demon leaders fought amongst themselves and became easier to deal with for the Grand Alliance. Little by little terr...
"If I was going to kill you, I'd barely need to lift a finger, but what I'm mainly here for is your help." You say calmly That's caught his attention. "What's that boy? You want my help? Hanging around those corpses make you completely crazy?" "Not completely, but I know that you and your company has been fighting a ...
You can't say you've exactly been entirely enthusiastic about this plan to conquer these tribes. The reality is starting to set in that you'll never be able to get rid of them all. At least not without a concentrated effort, which would take a lot more time and troops that you're unwilling to commit at this point. But...
The Grand Alliance is more unified and suffers less in-fighting (at least not on a violent scale) than Velzix's crew. You figure you should take them out first. "Catalina I think it's time to attack Grand Alliance and wipe them out once and for all." You say walking into her study. "Oh you do huh? Got a plan in mind o...
Chapter 3: One Foot In The Grave One year has passed… It's hard to believe it, but it's been a year since you took control of Nuro…or rather Aftermath as you renamed it. The "Nuro Incident" as it came to be known was a shock to the civilized world. Nobody had anticipated such a thing occurring despite all preparatio...
The dark path isn't an easy one and you've made (or rather inherited) lots of enemies besides the obvious ones due to what is now known as the "Nuro Incident". While you have many enemies, you realize you don't have too many allies. Just you, your city and a sexy female necromancer. Things could be worse! > You treli...

Victory isn't beyond your grasp, you just need to regroup and organize. You immediately seek out Irwin, Sebastian and Catalina. You find Sebastian and Catalina, and they're running low on viable corpses. "Hey, glad you could get here, the Nuro mage guards are putting up a hell of a fight! The demonologists can't keep...
You might be a competent necromancer, but you're leery about messing around with time. You better help Mr. Demar so he can better deal with the possible Quayle situation. You head towards campus where various explosions are taking place, it doesn't take long before you encounter Sebastian lying on the ground. You gues...
You always meant to try this, but never got around to it. No time like the present… You concentrate and attempt to summon the spirits of the nearby dead to help you kill the dean. At first nothing seems to happen and you hear the dean killing more of your skeletons and walking corpses, but soon an eerie howl is heard....
"Sure I'll go." "Very well, you and Felsa are coming with me. Trelik, you go brush up on the attack strategy." "But!" "No buts! Just do it!" Trelik storms off while you, Mr. Demar and Felsa head towards the conference room. When you arrive, you see a single pale emaciated figure. He doesn't look at all like the vampir...
No way, you're not going down that path. There are too many stories about demons fucking people over in their deals. In fact, you're a little worried about the fact that this "class" has more dedicated demonologist than necromancers. Still you'll just have to deal with it for now, you can only hope they know what they'...
Even though you're supposed to be a wizard in training, you spend as little time as possible in library if you can help it. Normally you just check out whatever you need to read for a class and leave. You have little faith in finding anything substantial on Necromancy in there, but maybe you can find something that wi...
You head to your apartment where you study your acquired books until morning and then sleep for the entire day. When you wake up you write a letter to your family saying that you're going to be staying at Nuro for vacation since you have some extra curricular studying to do and a big opportunity could be opening up. Y...
While all the other students are on their way home for vacation, you're planning a murder… You're in this all the way now. You've decided that you can't live life as you have been. You have to take this chance, regardless of the consequences. You're just wondering how the hell you're going to go about killing Big Red....
Thirsting for more possible knowledge you head to this new address. This time you're not in a residential area and more in a warehouse district, still not a safe area though. When you get to the warehouse, once again the signs of battle abound, except this time it would appear that you arrived in the middle of one sti...
If Sinthinia already knows that something is going on, chances are she's already got counter measures to solve it. Her overtures for an alliance, must be some what genuine to some degree otherwise she'd just let you go through with this plan and just have you all killed when you attempt it. "Okay, Sinthinia I'm in." y...
Chapter 4: Damned Five years have passed… It's been ten years since you allied with Velzix, an alliance that's becoming more tenuous with each passing day. Startled by your transformation and surge in power, Velzix proceeded to work extra hard on opening the portal, which he did...permanently. Velzix now has unlim...
Well, you probably could use the help in this matter. Smoothing this out with Velzix is going to be a delicate affair. "Alright, I'm accepting your help." "Excellent." Sesisek smiles. Sesisek explains that even if you do manage to talk Velzix into not killing you for your actions, he's still going to take away your h...
What's the point of having power, if you aren't using it in any meaningful way that can help you? You're sick of being "reined in". You're going to do what you've been wanting to do for a long time. You prepare to march an army of undead to the Brot Kingdom. The demons and mortals stationed at Aftermath are wondering ...
You're not going to be anyone's puppet. You can handle Velzix yourself. "Get out of here, I don't need your help! In fact I'd say dealing with a loser like you would put me in a worse position. Go scheme elsewhere." Your words cause Sesisek to give you a look of mixed disapproval, disappointment and disgust. He quite...
As much as your desire is there to kill Velzix, your caution overtakes you. You do exactly what Velzix requests. "…the territory is yours …I have no control over it." You say and even make a little bow. You feel disgusted with yourself for even doing that, but Velzix is quite pleased. He's broken you a little. "Yes i...
Chapter 3: One Foot in Hell One year has passed… It's been one year since you made an alliance with Velzix, and so far it has paid off. With your combined might, you both have successfully held off the Grand Alliance. You haven't gained too much ground, but that's looking like it's about to change. Everyday Velzix...

You nearly laugh at the idea that you have any "allies". A more appropriate designation would be "The folks who are currently on your side because it's advantageous at the moment". Velzix doesn't trust any of them either despite the fact that they all knew and worked with each other in the infernal plane. (Actually he ...

While these Dark Orderites haven't completely impressed you, you remember that Serena mentioned you would need allies and they could serve that purpose. From what you can tell, you're a better necromancer than the rest of them and this city would be an excellent beginning of your career especially since you don't have ...
You've been doing pretty well by yourself so far, so you decide to continue that trend. Still you do wonder what Mr. Demar's Dark Order is up to. During the night you head out of the city and into the nearby wilderness. After checking around, you're sure nobody else is around and you begin to cast your spell. Soon it...
Chapter 2: Hellbound Serena's advice might've pointed you in the right direction, but as far as you needing the help of others you're going to take a pass on that. You don't need anyone else except yourself. That's the way it's been for a long time and that's the way it's going to stay. That leaves you to go where va...

History is it? Well you were never really good at that either, however you did manage to maintain some knowledge of the subject, which is probably more than what can be said for your magic abilities! > You necromancy Many kingdoms, empires, city states, oligarchies, and the like exist on the continent, but even though ...

This is no way to live. Working on a barely profitable rundown farm with far too many family members to feed. It's a damn good thing you're an excellent hunter. However, lately there's even been a shortage of game to thwart your efforts. You didn't really want to be working on the farm your whole life in the first pl...
6 months pass… Six months of the most grueling physical training you've ever had the misfortune of dealing with! However you fared better than some of your fellow cadets. Guess all that farm living paid off. You've certainly improved what combat skills you had, but your marksmanship has improved greatly. You know tha...
You've never even heard of Quillars before, but they still sound less dangerous than the Tulan Border, that place is only going to get worse, you know it. "I'll take the Retlad assignment sir." "Hm.
