《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 05 : A New Commander, Get!
Advertisement
I am now on my way back to my territory. The carriage is moving slow and steadily without Luna in it. There was no business to talk with the Oaks. The head told me that there is no more business. I think they got scared to continue their plan after seeing my awesomeness. Oh, Luna is back.
"I'm back, Master," Luna said from the seat in front of me.
"How is it?"
"They intend to weaken our force with the help of the monsters stamped first then invade our land," she answered.
Hmm… from that alone, I got to know that there will be the stamped this year. Why did I know that there will be a stamped this year? Well, I've sent Gurguit to scout the forest before coming to this territory. The news he brought back is not good but I can't do anything to annihilate them while they are inside the forest. It is hard to search all of them while they are in the forest. So, I am waiting for them to come out and begin their stamped.
"And Master, they are working together with the demon," Luna added.
The demon, huh? I haven't met the demon yet. But from the books, they are said to be an absolute evil. The thing is the books were published by humans. So, I shouldn't just trust the book blindly. They might just be human with some additional body parts.
"We will do nothing about them, Luna," I told her after thinking for a while.
"I understand, Master," she nodded.
Just like that, I slept all the way back to my territory. Dealing with 'Young Master wannabe' made me lose some of my brain cells.
It has been a month since I've come back from Oak's territory. I am now getting ready to summon one character and one troop ticket I own.
{System, use one and one }
[You got from 1 x ]
[You got from 1 x ]
I look at the results. Hmm… is not the assassination group I wanted but this will also do. And I look at the other one. I look at Gurguit who is currently in the room and a grin can't help but form on my face. After seeing my grin, he shivered.
"My lord, is something matter?" he asked. But his voice is shaking.
"Oh, nothing. I got a new commander to summon and I can't help but think about you," I reply with a smile.
"Gulp. May I know who is the commander you got?"
"Oh, just nobody. A person named 'Macha'."
Now, he is just exaggerating with his face. I remembered Gintoki's face when I see the face Gurguit is making.
This Face
"My lord, is she the one who I think she is?"
"Yup! The one and only," I replied.
His face becomes paler and paler. You see, Macha is somewhat a celebrity in the United Sanctuary. Even people from later generations like Gurguit know about her. What is she famous for? Well, she is said to be one of the best tacticians and a genius commander in the United Sanctuary.

But why is Gurguit scared of her? That is because when she was participating in a certain war as a member of Royal Paladin, she intentionally caused a great number of victims to suffer in order to obtain victory. Because of that, she was estranged from the Royal Paladin army which uses the theme, 'power from allies'.
Later, she joined Shadow Paladin where her talents truly shine. With her cool-headedness that makes her willing to sacrifice friends and subordinates to achieve her goals, she acts under the belief of "the winners decide what is right". That is why Gurguit, although hates her because she doesn't think who she is going to sacrifice, he admires her skills as a commander. The reason why he is scared because he is worried about his soon-to-be subordinates. He was the commander of the troop for more or less four years after all.
"Gurguit, I am going to summon her right away," I said. A grin is splitting across the face.
"My lord, No!" he screamed.
"My lord, Yes!" I screamed back while continuing the summoning.
But before I was able to summon, a knock on the door interrupted us. Luna, who was silent all the time during Gurguit and my antics, went and open the door. It is Keith who is standing at the door.
"My lord, there is a guest visiting you," he informed me.
"A guest? Luna, please check the schedule if I have a guest coming today," I asked Luna.
"None, Master."
Hmm… strange. I don't have any acquaintance to come and visit me without prior notice.
"Who is the guest, Keith?"
"It is Lady Zestina, my lord."
Zestina? Oh! My kindred spirit!
"I am going there right now," I immediately rushed toward the living room. But before that, "You was saved by her, Gurguit," I turn around and told Gurguit. Then I left without looking back. Well, I heard Keith was muttering 'Finally', 'interested', 'girl'.
When I got into the living room, I see a girl with an extra person standing behind her.
"What bring you here, Lady Yubel?" I asked.
"I was in the area and I thought I should come and say hi to my friend. And just Yubel is fine," she replied while waving her hand.
"Then Yubel, do you want any snacks? Snacks that Luna make are absolutely delicious."
"Do you even need to ask? Of course, I do!"
Well, this is the first time we got to talk face to face after the event. Before that, we exchanged letters every week. We quickly became friends because of it.
"By the way, who is the one standing behind you?" I looked at the girl standing behind her. She looks like she is about our age.
"Oh, the girl? She is the one that I got for you," she replied.
"For me?"
"Yes, I found her on the outskirt of my territory. She wanted to have a job but nobody wanted to hire her because of the rumors, you see? Although I want to hire her in our mansion, there is no place left as all the places are filled."

"Rumors? Do tell me," she got my interest.
"The rumors stated that she is a witch –," before she could say anything more, I look at the girl behind her.
"You are hired," I said. I still don't have a witch in my rank. So, rumors or not, I am taking her in.
"Just like that?" the girl in question asked with a shocked face.
"Yes, just like that. Now, can you tell me your name?"
"My name is Yumil and I have no last name. I can use , my lord," she gave me a curt bow.
Darkness Magic? Isn't it perfect for a witch?
"I see, Yumil, you will work in this mansion as a maid. Luna will teach you everything you need to know. We don't have a magic instructor, so you need to learn your on your own."
"No, no, no. Just being able to get a job is enough for me, my lord."
"Then, I welcome you to Gregorios mansion, Yumil. Luna, can you please show her the place she will be staying?"
Luna appears in the room which made the two girls yelp in shock.
"This way, please," she led Yumil out of the room. Of course, not without placing desserts on the table for us to eat.
3rd POV
Yubel thought it would be hard to persuade Gregorios family head to take in the girl. She thought back to the party where she met him. After interfering with the challenge, her father called her and asked about him. Of course, she told him that Urien Gregorios is her new friend. And that is why she interfered with the duel.
Flashback,
"Then tell me, why didn't you stop the duel if he is your friend? He can get into trouble by having conflict with the noble who is a higher rank than him," he asked his daughter.
"I did not stop the duel because he won't like it if I do. (Well, he never liked when someone interferes with his duels in the game.) And if someone made trouble by pressuring with the rank, I will stop them. (With that, he won't be hostile to me. And my rate of survival will increase! Good job, me!)" she replied.
"My baby daughter had finally made a friend and is already thoughtful for him. Of course, the birds will finally leave the nest," her father is fake crying.
She wasn't able to say goodbye to him because he left immediately after having a small talk with the head of Oak. But she knows where the territory of Gregorios is and sent him the letter first. And surprisingly, he returned the letter. Thus, the two of them became friends.
But during this month, she is having absolutely terrible luck. First was the first prince had offered hand in marriage to her. If her original self, someone who is not a reincarnator, she would immediately accept. But not her. She will never accept this. Then the second prince tried to get closer to her just to rub at the first prince's face. Nope, she is too young to deal with these. But they are royalties and she couldn't deny their right to visit her home.
Then she got an idea. "The only route I got out alive is the good end of the 'Silent Silver' route. So, how about pairing up the heroine with Urien? Sometimes my genius is… it's almost frightening," she thought while laughing madly.
She quickly finds the heroine from the outskirt of her territory. And after a week of finding, she finally found her in a hut. The living environment of the girl is not good.
"Is the girl named Yumil here?" she asked.
"I am coming!" A voice from behind the hut shouted.
There, she found the brown-haired girl with a fair complexion. Her hair is a bob cut hairstyle and she has some soot on her face. But that doesn't make her less beautiful.
"You are Yumil, correct?"
"Yes, I am, my lady. Do you need me for something?"
"Yes, you see, I heard about the rumors and come here. I heard that you would like to have a job."
"Really?" there is a hopeful tone in her voice. She is very poor that she sometimes needs to go on about her day with only water.
"Yes, you will be going to the Gregorios territory. I will introduce you to the person you will be working for. And I almost forgot. My name is Yubel Zestina."
"Ah? The young lady of the Zestina family? I am sorry for not kneeling," the girl immediately kneels.
For Yubel who is used to someone instantly kneeling when they heard her name, this is no surprise.
"Stand up. We will clean you at my mansion and immediately go to my friend's territory."
And that is how she is currently at Urien's mansion.
Flashback ends here.
"Well, I think I should go back now that my job here is done," she stands up from the seat.
"I enjoy your company, I honestly do. Feel free to come and visit whenever you want," the boy also stands up and holds out his hand to which she takes it to shake the hand.
Back to MC's POV,
Now that Yubel went back, I called both Gurguit and Luna into the room. I am summoning first.
{System, summon }
[Initiating summoning sequence.]
The light shone inside the room and a twin-tail blue hair girl is standing inside the room. She is wearing black armor with blue neon light shining through it. There is a cape behind her which is tattered at the end of it. There are some ornaments on her ears and a sword beside her waist.
Version 01
Version 02
"With the permission of Grandmaster Blaster Dark Diablo, I have accepted your summon. Are you the lord that I am serving now?" she asked me while Gurguit jumped out of the window when he laid his eyes on her. Dude, we are currently on the third floor, you know?

Reborn as a dragon and stumbling through the world the MC feels rather disadvantaged. This story is a writing challenge for myself for fun and I'll start with one chapter every day though they might not be particularly long. I did not plan anything out but I have ideas. Freeform was supposed to be this but my ideas were too complicated and I couldn't keep myself from overthinking it. Well, that failed. I will resume this story at a later date.
8 190Birth of an AntiHero
AntiHero's FIRST REWRITE IN THE WORKS - thanks!! :] EDIT 2/28/22 - sorry, health problems right now, but I will post after rewriting the first 80-90,000 words or so and start fresh from there! Expect the change to be uploaded before summer! So long as I can keep using my hands, that is~! ^_^ X] This story will indeed get fleshed out as my vision improves for the better. But I feel the need to emphasize that a lot of parts are written in improvised comic book format as my primary writing style, and this first book is actually the entry point and starting novel for an entire very vast series I am in the works of developing. Many side characters here will eventually be main characters with there own stories; long or short. But this one particularly will be focused and centralized around Noel. Because of this, I do plan to leave the introduction for side characters as still having a special flow for readers to witness a tad of their background, so keep that in mind after my 'obviously many' rewrites from now and going into the future! Sorry for the troubles! I will improve on my style and implementation of the story!(Although I DO plan to keep parts as 'play style' or rather, comic book style, since I find it easier for certain dialogue instances as well as the fact that the novel is inspired by that 'feeling' you get while reading comic books. But my style is still evolving, you were warned!) Thank you! - Noel Tyler Malierano. He's the youngest 'son' to receive approval from 'The Malierano Family': A Criminal Organization of hitmen and hitwomen that specialize in killing, even maintaining success within a vastly superpowered society. Noel finally manages to complete his training as the newest 'Elite' killer his family created...but, there's just one problem - He doesn't want to kill! Come along and delve into a society of conflicting morals through the eyes of a boy, desperately searching for a new path to follow. Can he even manage to free himself from his father's engrained teachings and ideals? Conversely, will killing prove a lot more difficult to ignore? --- --> Thank you very much for reading! It would be helpful for me if you all consider leaving me a comment or an inbox suggestion, a review or even a full rating wherever AND whenever you believe I need to improve on anything or if something I wrote irked you! I appreciate EVERYONE that comes to read my story, however I DO want to improve my work as a writer. I hope all of you who don't like my work will let me know somehow, so I can edit and IMPROVE my story as a whole! Thank you everyone for your time! --- JUST TO NOTE!! When a character has a cultural name like, say, a Japanese or Russian name, that is because that character IS Japanese or Russian! They don't have to be FULL of one ethnicity either - sometimes they will be mixed. This story mainly takes place on an artificial continent where all countries have sent over their respective talents, meaning characters of ALL cultures and ethnic backgrounds will show hints of that in their names. Please don't assume I'm just randomly naming characters names that don't match them. And feel free to talk to me about whatever in my story troubles you - no matter how small! I love to improve. ^-^ X] --- Just to note: Characters will slowly grow as time passes. Slow pace. THANKS for reading! Enjoy! :] --- Decided to post 2 chapters every Tuesday and Friday instead of taking a small break, but I MAY upload once in a while on different days, such as Sundays, in addition to those two. :]
