[VRMMO] Dead One

[At the demon lord castle – At the demon lord private room.

"…."

"Enter." – said the demon lord while filling out different documents left and right that were on her table.

"…"

ClownFrog opened the door and entered the demon lord private room.

"Hey." – said ClownFrog.

"Hey." – replied the demon lord.

"…."

'Sigh'

"Just sit down." – said the demon lord while putting her paper work away.

The two people sit on the opposing sofas before then the demon lord took out an egg shaped device and put it on the table.

After putting it down, she pressed a button and the wave of magic began filling out the room.

"Well then…. By the look of things, you kept your end of the deal and didn't betrayed me." – said the demon lord.

"Of fuking course." – replied ClownFrog.

"Did you really hoped for that?"

"Well, kind off, since I wouldn't have to pay you then." – said the demon lord.

"Well fuck you then. We are greedy bastards and we are doing everything we can to grow stronger, so we don't mind working for a bastard like you."

"You scammed us anyway. So why are you complaining?"

"Meh." – replied the demon lord.

"I mean… Did I lied though? I never said that you would work for me for long and all- "

"You did. Though."

"You said between 2-3 months. It was even state in the contract details."

"…."

"Oh…. Shit."

"You fuking scammer." – said ClownFrog with straight face.

"Welp, you got me. But what will you do now? The job is over and all. I never said that the job may end up earlier than expected."

"…"

"Well, you will still have to pay for everything you know? You will probably pay less than expected since it wasn't 2-3 months, but even though we were your fake hero, we were still the ones who took down their main base and their leader."

"Yea, yea. I got it." – said the demon lord while showing her lazy side.

"…"

"Anyway, what you want the whole truth, right?"

"Yea, yea. No more lies. I want the whole truth."

"However, as we agreed, I won't betray you and I will kept my mouth shut."

"If you like, I can even make another contract or something."

"Hm… No need."

"You are already my accomplishes, so you would go down with me if something went wrong."

"…Bitch…. Fine." – said annoyed ClownFrog.

"Good. Well then, here is the whole story."

It all started many years ago when the demon lord Paimon was the still ruling the demonic kingdom.

The guy had power, but he was no leader.

The previous demonic kingdom was… Barbaric. They were just straight up criminals and scumbags that were proud of it.

But as I said before, they were no leaders and our own kingdom was being destroyed by them.

They didn't cared about the politics so much to the point they just started wars in order to gain stuff like food and other things, since they couldn't manage their own kingdom.

Adernul kingdom was one of their targets.

However, I decided it was a perfect time.

So, I created a revolution and killed and destroyed all incopeted leaders.

As for the Paimon? I personally chocked him to death and made an example out of him that he was nothing more than parasite to his own people and the shame to the demon race.

I killed all his families and relatives and even lovers to show them that the era of the Paimon was over.

Afterwards, the entire demonic kingdom had to undergo a transformation.

All the leaders of the previous era were killed, expect for the undead clan who betrayed the demon lord and joined our rebellion.

It took many years, but in the end, the 5 most important figures of the rebellion ended up creating the 5 clans and me as the new demon lord.

However, it wasn't the end.

The undead clan and the clan of demons called Amo'di were not happy.

The undead did joined the rebellion, expect for the one guy.

Yeb. You guessed it.

It was the Oanon Dududomo.

The other two heads agreed to the peace, but he didn't.

He honestly was planning to betray Paimon anyway and steal his position, but he was no more and instead I took his place.

As for the demons, well, they only joined the rebellion to take control.

Simply put, they are straight up scumbags that only pretended to be good people.

Honestly, I found about their plans from get go when they started forming their alliance.

I had an option to destroy them… But the damage that the Paimon and his loyalist did to his kingdom was too savvier and starting to fight the two major clans in the current state will be too problematic.

But I did knew that I could not let them roam freely, so I just observed them from the shadows and waited them to slip up so I could get an excuse to execute them.

I waited few years and I had finally an excuse to kill them all, but then I found something interesting?

Their plan was to research monster creation and create their own army.

Honestly, it got me interesting, so I used my double agents to give me the details and I found something interesting.

The research and the results were astonishing way better than I though.

But their plan would obviously fail since I both knew about it and that I had other clan's support.

However, it then struck me.

The other clans grew in power too much.

Before it was like this with me having 80% control over the kingdom, but then it was gradually dropping and the clans were getting more power.

Why?

Because too much time passed.

The clans grew in size and power, while I also stayed with my council.

I didn't wanted to give up my power or be on the equal footing with the other clans.

I fuking did everything to save this kingdom.

I made the rebellion.

I killed the Paimon and his high ranking loyalist that were controlling the kingdom.

Honestly, I was furious, but it was too late.

While I was busy doing all the work and trying to repair the kingdom, the clans instead focused on making themselves stronger.

They honestly didn't even hid it or anything.

Honestly, even the vampire clans who were the most loyal to me were also strengthening themselves instead of helping.

They wanted to "Survive". They weren't wrong, but because of their actions, I was losing strength and the grip over my own kingdom, even though I was the leader and everything.

With how the power was changing, at this rate I would suffer the coup.

Even if the loyal clans wouldn't do it, they would be forced to join it in order to save their own clans.

In other worlds, the demonic kingdom was getting unstable again and would get destroyed by its own people.

I had no choice.

I had to get rid of the 5 clans.

So, yea.

But there was problems.

The first was that they were much larger than before after 200 years passed, so even fighting one of the clans would end up making too much damage.

As for the traitors, they would definitely fight and maybe even wreck the entire kingdom.

I had to do something and eliminate them quickly while making them lose all power.

However, it then hit me.

The traitors.

If I use them correctly, I can not only blow up their cover, but also make them look like they worked with all 5 clans.

However, there would be 2 problems.

The first would be getting rid of them AND the void they would leave behind after the disappear. The kingdom strength would decreased significantly to the point it would become an easy target.

"But then another idea came to use the traitors again." – said ClownFrog.

"Ping pong. Correct." – said the demon lord.

"Their monster research was the thing I needed."

"So I use my agents and the higher up of their organization to influenced the organization."

"Before long, my clutches were buried deep inside the organization, practically taking control over it without the real leaders knowing that. I was manipulating them and every actions they took."

"But while I was doing that, I was helping them, both from outside and inside."

"I began conducting the monster creation and experiments with the 5 clans in order to "Strengthen" kingdom AND I also gave the traitors the support and the necessary materials while using the "Fake traitors" I planted in their ranks."

"I even helped them kill the two other heads of the undead clan and replace them with the puppets."

"…"

"So, in reality, you were both the real leader of the Paimon fanatics and the demon lord, correct?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Pretty much."

"And while that was happening, you were using the traitors to grow your own army."

"Yeb."

"Okay, but then what about the fanatics?"

"Well, what do you think happens to their research facilities as well as the monster production factories?"

"…"

"Oh, you bitch." – said ClownFrog after realizing the truth.

"Yeb."

"That why I made that attack when they didn't expected it."

"Everything was taken in the perfect state and all the monsters that weren't made then were successfully created afterworlds, boosting my army."

"…"

"What about the 5 clans? You took them down in a single day." – asked ClownFrog.

"Oh. That part was quite easy."

"Did you forgotten we were at the war? Most of the clan members were at the frontlines or were fighting against the Paimon fanatics."

"I made the traitors attack us the moment the empire attack us so the 5 clans heads would become easy target for me to cut down."

"I took my private army of the highest ranking elites and cut them all down, including their families and important members, completely destroying the clans control with ease and making it easy to swallow."

"And with the help of the monsters, we were able to have enough force to make sure that they wouldn't be able to do anything and just get swallowed by my own faction without any resistance."

"An easy victory."

"…."

"Do you realize how many people died because of you?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Well, probably a lot, considering that I used the fanatics to commit genocide in the different part of the country and also killed the fanatics in the end."

"You fuking bringed your own kingdom to the brink of destruction because of your own actions and then dumped it all on the 5 clans to make yourself look like an innocent saint." – said ClownFrog.

"I'm going to be honest with you didn't wanted the 5 clans in power from the beginning, didn't you?"

"…."

"Yeb."

"You correct." – said the demon lord with cocky attitude.

"I wanted to be the one who truly control this kingdom after everything I done."

"I fuking never wanted to share it with the others."

"…."

"There. Now you are showing your real face." – said ClownFrog.

"Oh, you noticed?" – said the demon lord while smiling.

"…"

"Honestly, you are fucked up." – said ClownFrog.

"But fuck it. I'm piece of trash myself, so all I can say that you are a bitch or somebody fucked up."

"But we cannot complain much, since I knew that something was wrong with you and still decided to be your loyal dogs because of our own greed."

"So we are straight up your accomplishes."

"Yeb. Thank you for understanding." – said the demon lord.

"Fuck you." – replied ClownFrog.

"Fuck you too." – replied demon lord while flipping off ClownFrog.

"…"

"Anyway, are you satisfied?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yeb."

"All the clans were destroyed and I took all their remaining power."

"Also thanks to the traitors, I stole all everything they had and even obtained their bases, including that underground city."

"Thanks to those, the demonic kingdom will become way much stronger and I have gained total control."

"…"

"Well not yet, since there is still war and there are some remains that still don't want changes. I guess I will have to make example out of these people."

"…"

(She is fucked up.) – though ClownFrog.

(She doesn't care if she kills 100, 1 000 or 10 000 innocent people as long as she gets what she wants.)

(Not only that, her methods are fucked up.)

(All of the monster factories that did all that fucked up stuff, it wasn't the fanatics but hers doing. However, she let the fanatics make them and use them since she didn't wanted any dirt on her hands.)

(Her fucked up nature almost destroyed the entire kingdom and she doesn't feel any remorse or anything. Not even guild or anything.)

"However, I didn't expected for you to go behind my back and find the fanatic's base. I wanted it to be hidden a little bit longer." – said the demon lord.

"Meh. It was your fault for informing us about the traitors within your ranks."

"But even if we did nothing, the people would still have found out because of that idiotic lich used the adventures to capture the other adventures and throw them into the prison."

"Yea… That guy fucked up by doing that." – said the annoyed demon lord.

"I was honestly covering all of his mistakes and other stuff so the fake fanatics would stay hidden and all, but that guy was getting greedier and more reckless."

"Do you remember that one time when he tried to make an army of those giants?"

"The time where you had send Blueberry and Rampage?"

"Yeb. That guy got stupidly greedy and though he could won now, so he tried rushing it."

"It wasn't the only factory that tried to pull that bullshit and I had to put my feet down and personally do it."

"…."

"Are the corpless too?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yeb. Those as well."

"In the recent years it became much harder to control him because of his greed, so that why I decided to hire you."

"…"

"You wanted the fake heroes that came to the rescue, right?"

"Ping pong. Correct yet again."

"I only wanted you for your reputation, but I didn't expected you to be this strong."

"I wanted you act as my puppets, but I knew that you were quiet smart and that is why I gave you that contract."

"You though that we may find out the truth about you and expose you, right?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Yet again, correct."

"I thought that you may betray me after discovering the truth, but if that happened, I needed some insurance."

"The reason why the control was made so fair was to make it look like you were the traitors in the case of the breach."

"I could have just said that you were working with the fanatics and easily dismiss all your claims and other stuff, making myself innocent once again."

"Betraying you would mean betraying the demonic kingdom, but it wasn't the truth." – said ClownFrog.

"The reason why we were offered to work for "You" and the demonic kingdom was that the fact that you were the real traitor and it would have exposed you as the one behind everything."

"Oh. You realized that? Huh, nice job." – said the demon lord.

"Yeb. Not only that, the contract state that it would have been breached IF we betrayed you, right?"

"In other, if you revealed yourself to us as the leader of the Paimon fanatics and told us to stop, we wouldn't be able to lay finger on them."

"However, if you assigned a job to us to kill them, then you wouldn't get exposed as their leader and the contract wouldn't been breached."

"So pretty much, you put us in the situation that would just imply that we were the traitors and not you if we decided to reveal the truth."

"You motherfucking mastermind."

"I will take that as a compliment." – said the demon lord.

"…"

"So? What about us? What the fuck we were for? Only to play the fake heroes role?"

"Hm… Not exactly."

"I needed to make it look like I didn't had enough forces and other stuff to deal with the fanatics, and that is the first reason why I needed you to both fool and deal with the problems made by that idiot so I can prepare for the D day."

"The second reason was to have an symbol."

"I mean, it would make some weird sense that the demon lord by herself suddenly took down all the fanatics and the 5 traitor clans."

"That would make things way too easy and other stuff."

"And that is why I made it look like I didn't had enough power in order to make it look like it was impossible for me to do it all."

"Yes. You were the "Fake Heroes" that I needed."

"The things really looked like they were well made plan before hand, to the point it looked like fake, so that why I needed to make myself look weaker then I was to fool the people and make it seems that reality is fake and made people not question it since all the evidence would point out it wasn't planned from the start."

"An bold move to the point it could be called stupid and would easily expose yourself, but you gave false information and evidence that would point out to the different truth and hide the reality." – said ClownFrog.

"The brave heroes suddenly appeared and helped me when I needed and with their assistance, I was finally able to put down the corruption roots and cleanse my kingdom in an instance."

"A story like that?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Somewhat." – replied demon lord.

"And you took all the measures to make it look like it was the reality before it even happens."

"Yeb."

"I needed you to take some credits as well as the other adventures to add the last touch and make the false story real."

"But what about the empire?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Nope."

"I honestly wanted to use Adernul kingdom and use its corruption to cover up for me and manipulate the kingdom from the shadows to attack me, but then that empire came and delayed everything."

"That was 100% not planned for and took me completely by surprise."

"It wasn't even the fake fanatics doing either."

"However, I wanted the war in order to distract the 5 clans so I could go and kill their leaders and all, so it all worked out in the end."

"The 5 clans are no more."

"The important facilities were taken over."

"I have gained a large army of the monsters and even gained means of producing them, making the void of the loss of 5 clans only temporarily."

"And all the evidence and other stuff that would point out to me being the one who did all this is gone."

"And, since the contract wasn't activated means that you didn't betrayed me, so it all worked perfectly for me."

"Expect the fact that you lost shit tons of people and everything that you killed with your own two hands." – said ClownFrog.

"Well, I did needed to sacrifice something to complete my plan." – replied the demon lord without any care of what she did.

"But you do realize that the empire is still a threat, right?"

"Even if you took over the 5 tribes remains and got the monster factories, it will take time for the damage you did to your own country to repair itself, right?"

"Let me guess, you want to use adventurers as your own soldiers now, right?"

"Yeb. That was the plan." – said the demon lord.

"By any chance, you want to join?"

"If you pay well enough, I can."

"But, don't forget about the payment for it and the dealing with the crap you made."

"Not only that, I want two other things."

"Hm? I'm all ears dear." – said the demon lord with evil smile.

"The first thing is additional payment for keeping our mouth shut,"

"Now that the Paimon fanatics are gone, you are fucked since the knife behind our backs is gone."

"And as for the second thing, I want you do something to me."

"Hm? What do you want?"

"Is it possible to turn me into a lich?"
