The clock stopped at exactly 00:00:01. There was no way Vandread was dreaming. He pondered the issue, trying to figure out what could have possibly gone wrong with the clock. However, he was even more perplexed by the fact that he was unable to determine the reason why it occurred. Up until the moment his sudden realization froze him to the spot... ‘You got it right this time, Vandread. I am the system of this world. And at this very moment, you are currently located deep within the core of my system.' The instant that the system validated Vandread's answer, everything that was around Vandread was immediately affected. The barrier of the sphere that had been providing him with air to breathe within it began to dissipate at the same time that the water that had surrounded the areas that were outside the sphere began to recede. As Vandread descended the ground, techno lines began to appear beneath his feet. These techno lines then began to appear all over the surrounding area, as
After reading what was included in the contract, Vandread's eyes widened in shock. He was shocked that the system of this world wanted him to do that after giving it some time to read through.“Wait, what? Are you really serious about this?”‘Yes. And when did I become not serious about anything?’The truth finally dawned on Vandread as he came to the conclusion that the system was, in fact, correct. It never made an attempt to speak of any ridiculous thing, and it never even tried to take things in such a lighthearted manner. Just a few moments ago, it was so serious about taking Vandread's life that it would have done so if he had not been able to figure out what its true name was.“What was written in the contract is insane. You really want me to do that after all my efforts of defeating them?”‘Do you not wish for your revenge?’“Of course, I do!” Vandread strongly affirmed.‘Then it wouldn’t be so hard for you to do this.’“But don’t you understand? These are foes that I have fac
“Tell me more, I want to be enlightened well enough how I could get stronger as the villain of this world?” Vandread answered. Based on the presentation the system had been discussing, he was interested in how things would play out. "Very well," the system responded, quickly presenting a new diagram that detailed the various Lords of darkness with whom he needed to curry favor in order to become his obedient servant. “How would I defeat them? I don’t have any weapon.” ‘You will be granted the sword of vengeance, the ‘nemesis’, which has the ability to absorb the abilities of its enemies and grants the wielder its power.’ Soon after the system told him that, a sword made with black steel appeared before his sight. It was glowing with red smokes around it which added more dread to its appearance. As Vandread was about to grab the sword, the system suddenly halted him by stating, ‘But there was something about this sword that you need to know.’ “What?” Vandread asked. ‘As it absor
‘I have break down the list of the Lord of darkness that you have to tame and become your servants. Each of them will be revealed each time you accomplish gaining one’s favor. For your first journey, you needed to find Mammox. He is the lord of greed, you need to have him as your loyal servant for you will be needing all the wealth and resources he could offer to build your empire.” The system informed him right away.“Mammox? The last time I defeated that asshole was when he tried to infiltrate the kingdom’s treasury vault. But how could I find him now? I don’t even know where the hell that dumbass lives?”‘If you could gather all of the six elemental mages, all of them could bring you to mammox.’“Six? That many?”‘Yes. Earth, Wind, Fire, Water, Ice and lightning. You are lucky because by the time you return, you’ll be encountering the earth mage.’“Can I use my black steel against her? I’m dead sure, i’ll instantly defeat that treacherous earth mage in an instant with my nemesis.
The life-size hologram in front of Vandread that was on the computer screen suddenly vanished as if it had been unplugged from its primary source before he even had a chance to anticipate what was going to happen. Instantaneously, he turned his head to look around, but there was nobody there at all. Perhaps he could only have been seeing things.And while he was preoccupied looking for Lennox's enormous screen, Vandread was instantly swept off by a large hole behind him just a few moments after Lennox became silent.Vandread wanted to resist the powerful pull of the wind that was absorbing him from within, but in the end, no matter how hard he tried, he was still sucked into this black hole.As Vandread was already inside of the abyss, he just couldn’t stop feeling more unease. “Lennox! What the hell is going on here?” Vandread yelled but it would seemed that Lennox didn’t hear him.He tried to repeat calling for Lennox once more but just like earlier, there was no single response fr
‘What’s the need for that footage, master?’ Lennox inquired. "I just wanted to make sure that my suspicions were on the right track. Considering that you informed me that the intruder made a hasty entrance just before the time that I was supposed to travel the path that leads all the way back to Dizencia. If this is the case, it is possible that any hints will turn up during the process of opening the portal.”Lennox subsequently carried out the tasks that Vandread had assigned to him. It abruptly transitioned into its footage data files from an earlier point in time, prior to Vandread's entry into the portal, at which point it continued on. "I have been successful in locating footage from earlier, master," Almost immediately after that, Lennox reported his findings to Vandread.“Great. Let's take a look at it and investigate that further.” Vandread gave an immediate command. However, it abruptly said to Vandread, "Just a moment, master," before Lennox even followed his instructio
‘What’s wrong, master?’ As soon as Lennox noticed the steadiness that Vandread maintained while concentrating solely on the paused clip that was displayed on the holographic screen that faced him, he immediately questioned him about it. He then addressed Lennox, telling him to "try to zoom the image from the direction behind my back." ‘Yes, master.’ When Lennox was given instructions, he immediately followed them and zoomed the figure in front of Vandread. It was a vague image, but Lennox used his clarity features to further identify it. As a result, the hazy figure transformed into a clear image of a recognizable person at that precise moment. The sudden silence that Vandread sensed emanating from Lennox caused him to become perplexed. “What’s the matter, Lennox?” He asked. Vandread pondered who on Earth could be the person depicted by the image of a man in a gray suit of armor. But the thing that baffled him the most was trying to figure out what the intruder could possibl
As soon as Vandread heard Lennox, his face almost completely changed color, and he became very pale. It was never proven, but the possibility that it was true made him extremely worried about his situation along the dimensional pathway. ‘Though, master, that has not yet proven to be the case for you. I'm still working on a more in-depth analysis of the situation. It is highly unlikely that the creator would devise a curse that the dimensional sentinel would be able to circumvent.’ The immediate response of Lennox, who stated that in some way lightened the burdensome load that Vandread was apparently considering, was appreciated.“Actually, what suddenly made me more curious about was what is the dimensional sentinel trying to accomplish after he has proven himself stronger than the rest of the universes?”Vandread waited for a brief moment in the hopes that Lennox would have some insight into the possible cause of the dimensional sentinel's attempt to jump into various universes. It
