《I Am an Evil Lord Yet, Why Are They Happy to Serve Under Me?》Chapter 07 : A Meeting Without the Lord's Knowing
Advertisement
Inside a dimly lit room, five figures are sitting around the table.
"Lady Macha, is there a reason why we haven't fully lightened up the room?" Luna asked.
"Because we are planning something bad," she replied.
"Is there a reason for an old man like me to be here?" It was Keith who asked that.
"You are also one of my lord's vassals. You should be here too."
"Can you tell me why did you call all of us here, Lady Macha? I have jobs to take care of." It was Delfina this time.
"I am getting to that. The reason why I called all of you here is I need your advice. You see, although my lord had given me all green to do whatever I want, I don't know any territory that has a grudge with my lord. I want to start from there," Macha made a generic Gendo pose.
"None that I can think of. My lord doesn't usually hold grudge against people," Gurguit replied.
"Wait. What if the territory that hold grudge against Master?"
"That works better. We can eliminate the threat before it endangers my lord," Macha nodded sagely.
Then suddenly a map appears on the table. All the people here are already familiar with Luna's time stop shenanigans.
"This territory. It is the territory of the Oak family. Their family's rank is higher than that of Master. But from what I heard, their forces are not as strong as ours," Luna showed them the territory from the map.
"By the way, Luna, isn't Oak is the place where Urien went for the party? Can you tell us what happened there?" Delfina asked.
Luna proceeded to tell them what had happened at the event. Some of them, no scrap that all of them have anger apparent on their faces.

"Lady Macha, can I also come with you when you go to the Oak territory?" It was Keith who requested that.
"Shouldn't you be here all the time?"
"No, Luna has been doing a great job and I don't have anything else to do. And they dared to plot against the Gregorios, I believe I should teach them some lessons about life," he replied.
"Sure. You can come then," the blue-haired nodded.
"By the way, Keith, don't you want to know where we come from?" Gurguit asked.
"I don't think I would need to know, Sir Gurguit. After all, my lord trusts me enough to summon you all when I am near the summoning process," he replied. "Moreover, he even prepared the background for all of you so that the people from the mansion are not specious of you and less trouble for me. I was moved by how much he cares about me," Keith drys some tears falling down from his eyes with a handkerchief.
Well… the thing is, our idiotic MC didn't know that Keith is near whenever he summoned others. So, naturally, Keith would think that our MC trusts him enough to let him know about the summoning.
"I think Master is summoning another group of people today," Luna placed the cup in front of all the people.
"I wonder what kind of group my dear brother is going to summon."
"From what I heard, they should be some kind of assassination team," Gurguit replied.
"Hmm…" Macha went on with her daily dose of planning.
"Sir Gurguit, can you and your "Knights of the Sun" unit take care of the beasts that will be coming from the Crystal Dew Forest?"
"If there are many beasts, we can use to call upon the past and future heroes from Planet Cray. I can still feel some connection with Planet Cray, so some of the units from the troop would be able to use . For myself, I can with my future self if things get serious," he replied.

"If I may ask, what is that you were talking about?" It was Keith who asked. The other two, Luna and Delfina also looking confused.
"I am sorry. Let me explain like this. refers to the phenomena of heroes from the past and warriors from the future being summoned to modern Cray, in this case, to this world, due to the effect of the aberrant condition 'Interdimensional Crosstalk'. One who possesses a specific and strong image of power they are seeking, and the warrior whose wavelength overlaps with that image. As their wavelengths superpose, the mighty warrior can be summoned from the Interdimensional Crosstalk," Gurguit explained.
"I take it that kind of power has some kind of limit?" Luna asked.
"The only limit would be the timespan. The timespan of is mostly determined by the synchronization between the two parties. As long as the wavelengths of the summoner and the summoned remain superposed, the summoned can maintain their existence in the present time. The training of "Stride" is to train the minds of the summoners, to control their emotions, and maintain the feelings of superposition without shaking. Too bad, I don't have what it takes to ," this time, it was Macha who explained.
"I see," Delfina nodded.
"With this, I can make plans to take care of the Oak family. Luna, you said they will be marching here when the monster stampede starts, right?"
"That is correct, Lady Macha."
"With Gurguit and his knights taking care of the beasts, I can go and intercept them on their way. Those might be their scouting forces before they come at us for real. If we can intercept them and get info from them, it will be easier to cause chaos for them," she grins evilly.
Gurguit, seeing her grin, decided to pray silently for the Oak family. "I've told my lord that it would be a bad idea to give her all green to do whatever she wants. I pray for the Oak family for their safety. But wait, we are going to deal with someone who wants to harm my lord. So, it's okay for her to go rampage, I guess." With that, he stopped thinking.
"I will do something about their supplies and rations. Nobody can mess with my dear brother and freely get away with it," Delfina also grins evilly.
"Of course, I will also have some serious talk with that youngster named Tango Oak," Keith too grins evilly and joined the fray.
"I will also make sure all of their weapons and armors mysteriously went missing," like that, Luna also joined the 'Grinning Evilly' gang.
Looking at the other four ginning and chuckling evilly, poor Gurguit doesn't have a single idea what to do at the moment.
"With this, the meeting is adjourned. Let's have another meeting after overcoming this monster stampede," Macha announced.
With this, Gurguit exited the room and there is only one thing in his mind. "Will this world gonna be alright with this madness?"

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...

Why The Hell Not
Sweat started to form all around my body as the pain consumed me. It was 9pm and this had to be the worst wave of heat I've ever experienced! My body ached as the flames traveled from my core, spreading to the rest of my body. I hate heat, every type of heat, but mainly this one. Heat, in my pack, is a bitch! The second you turn 16 your heat starts. Then for the rest of your life you get a heat cycle once a month, as if having a period isn't bad enough. The heat happens right after your period, leaving you 2 weeks of peace as a woman if you find your mate your 16 years of life! If you did not find your mate at 16, when you turn 17 it will be every 2 weeks! Your period is still once a month, thankfully, but the heat cycle directly after your period is the strongest! Leaving you ONE week of peace...unless of course you don't find your mate by the time you turn 17. If you are unlucky enough to not have found your mate by the time you are 18, then yes it will be EVERY week! Leaving you NO peace!!Basically the longer you go without finding your mate, the more heat you will go through. If you're 20+ then it could be EVERY hour! Once you find your mate it goes back down to once a month, thankfully. Lucky, or lucky for me, I'm 17...meaning I've gotta deal with this every 2 weeks. This one in particular is the worst one yet! I grabbed the water on the side of my bed and tried to fix my dry throat.......
