[VRMMO] Dead One

"So, this is the capital city the demon kingdom?" – asked Lil.

After traveling for a long time, the entire Purple Hyena guild had managed to arrive at the capital city of the Liefay kingdom. The capital city of the Boule.

"Wow… How big is this place anyway?" – asked Wretch while looking around, observing the scenery around him.

"Well, apparently the informations we gathered, this place is apparently much bigger than the Adernul kingdom capital city or the Golden Sand city." – said Blueberry.

"We were in the Adernul capital city and it was pretty big and the Golden Sand city was even much bigger. But apparently this place is two times bigger?"

"Wait, you for real?" – asked Rampage.

"Yeb."

"Huh. Shit. I will be no surprised if people would get lost or anything in here." – said Rampage.

"Well, this isn't our most important thing we should worry about." – said Blueberry.

"According to the informations, many guilds had set their base in the capital city, since it's one of the best locations in the entire kingdom, since its right at the hearth of the kingdom."

"Many people are trying to get their own buildings so they can set up their own guild house in here."

"Huh. So, we will have a lot of competitions?" – asked Swim.

"Probably. But we should obviously watch out bit more, since we are Purple Hyena guild." – said Howl.

"We will definitely find some people that were part of Adernul faction in the past and they chose this place to run away. They may hold a grudge against us, since we kind of did destroyed them all and made them suffer a lot, even after the war ended." – said GreyHunt.

"But they will probably not stand a chance against us. But you guys should watch out. You may be stronger than average players, but you will have hard time fighting a horde of them."

"I think they understand it, GreyHunt." – said ClownFrog.

"But still, I think we should take a look around this place a bit when we have a time."

"There may be some special materials that Blueberry would like to have or we may came across some useful items like class books."

"But we have to do our job first."

"So let's go. She is probably waiting for us already."

The entire group began walking through the streets of the capital city, heading to the ominous castle that was located right in the center of the city.

It took some time, but the party managed to arrive at the front gate of the demon castle.

"Hold. Civilians are unauthorized to venture past this point." – said the demon knight while blocking the entrance to the gate.

"Greetings. I'm ClownFrog and I'm leader Purple Hyena guild."

"We were invited here personally by the demon lord."

"Here. She even gave us her sigil temporarily if some trouble occurred." – said ClownFrog while showing demon lord sigil.

"!"

"…"

"Please this way." – said the demon knight.

The party fallowed the demon knight through the gate leading to the demon castle and after a bit of walking, the party arrived to the entrance of the demon castle itself.

The party used the front entrance and entered the demon castle.

As soon as the party entered the castle, they found themselves in luxuries and calm inferior building.

"…"

"Huh…I wasn't…" – said Shri.

"You though it would be some scary place because this is a demon lord castle?" – said Oron.

"Well… Yea?" – said Shri.

"I'm not surprised with your reaction. Many people believe that we demons have a scary castles or something." – said the demon knight.

"But, well… We do have some castles that are bit scary looking, so you are not wrong there."

"Anyway, I will take you to the guest room and inform the demon lord about your arrival."

The demon knight lead the party to the guest room.

"…"

"Say, before the demon lord gets here, what should we talk with her about?" – asked Lil.

"Well, we should- "

Suddenly, somebody entered the room.

"I see you got here safely." – said the demon lord while entering the room.

"?!"

"Wait, we literally just got here?! I thought we needed to wait a bit, since you… You know. Demon lord "Business" and stuff?" – said Rampage.

"Oh. Well, I was nearby when the knight came looking for me." – said the demon lord.

"Anyway, I heard what happened."

"You had a nice welcome party with the fanatics from get go?"

"Yeb. Just straight up question." – said ClownFrog.

"Just how fucked up state is your kingdom right now?"

"…"

"Well... A bit?"

"…"

"For fuck's sake." – said ClownFrog while grabbing his head.

"…"

"Anyway, did you found anything from fanatics that were captured?"

"…"

"No."

"Somebody infiltrated the prison and killed the captured fanatics. The guards that were guarding them even got killed and there are no traces behind beside the traces of the guards and captured fanatics throat being slit."

"So, yea… We got nothing."

"?!"

"…"

"Actually… I want to talk about something." – said ClownFrog.

"It's regarding the fanatics army I dealt with."

"Apparently, it's an different army that was spotted by the adventures."

"?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, some adventures like us, tried going to the capital city, but they were killed by the fanatics army on their way."

"However, the army that killed them was not the same army that attacked the city we were in."

"The army in question is an army of the flying demons, while the army I fought were an army that had demonic golems and trolls."

"There were two different armies."

"But the weird thing was the flying demon army movement."

"They were coming towards the city we were in, but the ones I fought were the second army."

"I even used your sigil to ask around the city, but there were no flying demons or monsters spotted around the city walls."

"The first army that was spotted disappeared without the trace while the second army launched an attack against the city."

"The first army disappeared and the second army that suddenly appeared."

"Hm… Large scale teleportation magic?" – said the demon lord.

"…No…. There would have been some big traces left behind…"

"…"

"Shit. I guess I have more work, huh?" – said the demon lord to herself.

"…Em… There is more." – said ClownFrog.

"Oh, for fuck's sake! What?!"

"…Well… When you did rebellion against the demon lord Paimon and killed him, you had afterwords went around and killed most of his remaining loyalists, right?"

"Well. Yes. These people were straight up just muscle head idiots that were destroying not only their enemies, but our kingdom as well. I had to show no mercy even to their families."

"…"

"Then, would you let more than 5 000 roam freely?" – asked ClownFrog.

"?"

"No. These guys were too dangerous. We hunted for them for years."

"…"

"This is my theory demon lord."

"Those fanatics that you are dealing with, they are fakes. They are not real fanatics." – said ClownFrog.

"These people are straight up too well prepared and have too big of a forces."

"You went around and hunted for them, so they shouldn't have that big of a forces in the first place."

"There is a chance that these self-proclaimed "Paimon fanatics" are nothing more than traitors working for the empire that is currently attacking or there is an traitor in the demonic kingdom that is using this opportunity to take over the demonic kingdom."

"…"

"Huh… Honestly speaking, I also came up with the similar theory and did said that these fanatics maybe fakes. Considering how well prepared they were." – said the demon lord.

"But the problem was with evidence."

"We couldn't find anything that would point out to them being empire minions or working for the traitor of our kingdom."

"So, I already deduced the fact that the leader of those bastards is a motherfucker that can use their brain."

"Honestly, there is a chance that the culprit is a traitor who wants to take the kingdom and he is also lapdog of the empire."

"But again, no evidence."

'I'm already busy with the empire and other stuff, so I will have you deal with the fanatics and some other business."

"…"

"Questions. I know we were not yet commissioned by you to deal with those- "

"Yea, yea. You will get your reward for stopping the fanatics from destroying the city and keeping it in one piece." – said the demon lord, not letting ClownFrog speak.

"Anyway, here." – said the demon lord while snapping her fingers.

Suddenly, in front of a ClownFrog, a system winddown appeared.

"I will probably be not able to pay personally each time, so here."

"This is a list of some stuff you can earn based on hard you work."

(Huh. The things on this list have their own prices.) – though ClownFrog.

(So, for doing job for the demon lord, we are getting points that we can then later exchange for the stuff on the list?)

(Anyway, we received quiet bit of points from get go.)

(Well, I did stopped fanatics from destroying in city and all, so no surprise there.)

(But anyway, what do we have here.)

"…"

"…"

(Holy shit.)

(Some of these items seem to be hell of powerfully!)

(There are some high grade and rarity items that Blueberry would kill for and she would use them to make some broken items!)

(Anyway, what else is-)

"!"

"…"

"Question. Can I buy something from here from get go?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Of course." – said the demon lord.

"Hm? What is? Did you found anything interesting?" – asked Shri while looking at the system winddown.

"Hm? Wait, but you are not- "

"Not me. Her." – said ClownFrog while looking at Blueberry.

"?!"

"M-me?!"- said confused and shocked Blueberry.

"Yea. Aren't you researching and doing experiments with golems right now? So, would that class fit you perfectly? Not only that, but this class as well." – said ClownFrog.

"…Oh… I see. Yea… Based on those class descriptions, both of these would be good for her." – said GreyHunt while reading the class books descriptions.

"Sorry you guys, but I promise you I will give you the next rewards."

"Don't worry. Blueberry had already made us a new equipment for us, so we are fine with her taking the first reward." – said Wretch.

"Yea. What he says." – says Howl.

"B-but! You did all heavy lifting back there." – said Blueberry.

"Meh. Who cares? Just take it."

[You have brough the [Class Book: Toy Maker] [Rarity: Unique].]

"Here. I already brough it. I already used all the points as well, so just shut up and take them."

"I will buy you the second one later."

ClownFrog made Blueberry take class book from him, even though she instead not to take it.

However, in the end she gave up and took the class book while blushing.

"…"

"Well then." – said ClownFrog.

"I want get another specific class book from you as soon as possible."

"So… Is there any job we can take from you right now?"
