《How to become an evil overlord!》Chapter 3: Welcome to The Bottle and The Book, Tavern and Inn for all the non-humans out there.

A/N This chapter will probably suck even more than normal cause a wrote most of it and then forgot to save it. So my motivation just died and I'm weeping cause I wrote so much. And all gone. *sob sob*
Pov Shiro
Waaaaaah! Is this the legendary main character route? Instantly OP?
Yeah sure, Demon lord is more like it, knowing you.
Hey, what do you mean by that?
The friendly neighbourhood necromancer, here to save the day.
A certain sarcastic person, -nality? was starting to get on my nerves.
What now? Kuron the smart?
Hey?
Don't ignore me!
*Siiiiiiiigh* I always knew he was unreliable. Well, what now? In fact, what do we do? In fact, what do people do in this second reality? Fight monsters? Get stronger? Rule the world? No. Because all those things are meaningless! Ok, maybe not, but the most important thing is when you broke through your limits and killed a monster you shouldn't have been able to, or grinded a whole night and finally levelled up. The most important thing is that feeling of accomplishment, and to get that, the game needs to be as realistic as possible. And seizing that, the devs created the new and improved, *mental drumroll) "Dive Capsule!". It's selling point, it's abilities bringing VR to a whole new level of realism. If you are hungry outside, then you eat some food online, then, voila, you're full. Same goes for exercise and even sleep. Which is practically unbelievable considering the time difference of 4 times faste-
Shut up! Stop with the deep philosophy! Stop Advertising the capsule! The people reading this can't even buy it so what's the point?
Psst! Psst! The wall! Kuron! The Wall!
Huh? What's this got to do with D*n*ld Tr*mp?
No! Not that wall! The 4th one! *hint hint*
Eh? Ah! Um. That never happened.
Nope, that never happened.

What now?
Let's go level up our necromancy job, and become stronger than anyone, then we will Take OVer THE WORLD!
"Gyahahahahaha!"
Crap
*face palm (do personalities have faces? or palms? Meh whatever.)*
Receiving strange looks from many players, I quickly cover my face and calmly walk away. Ok, It was more of a sprint for my life thing.
By the time I was sure I was safe, I realised something, where the hell is this?
A little long while later...
I've been wondering around for quite a while now, and to tell the truth, I still have no idea. But, from the atmospere, I could tell, this is the lawless part of town.
You can tell by one glance.
Yeah yeah Tsukkomi-saaaaan
I glance around hoping to find some sort of an inn.
You know, you're really getting on my nerves.
You mean our nerves? Kuron?
You know what I mean, and don't go giving me weird nicknames. What does Kuron even mean?
Kuron means Kuro+moron. Teehee.
I will kill you. Die.
Suicide is never the solution-?
AAAAARG! Calm as the wave on the sea, calm as the waves...
Teehee!
As IF! *flips imaginary table* The OCEAN is a bloody TSUNAMI! Just die. I'm not talking to you.
Hey?
And he's gone.
Oh!
Hidden in a dark alley, was a sign indication an inn/tavern. Peeking through the crack, what I see surprised me. A cosy room bathed in a warm yellow light, a pleasant, jazzy tune played behind the chattering of the customers. The sweet aroma of food wafted through the air, stimulating my nose.
The most interesting part of this little-hidden bar was that there was simply not a single human around! People of all sorts of races sat on the rough, wooden chairs. Even the bartender was a bushy-bearded dwarf.
In the Kindom of Chandra, discrimination was a common thing. Humans, taking up a staggering 67% of the population, looked down upon the other races, selling them in slavery, refusing to service them, etc. Sick of the abuse, the non-human races set up an alliance, the UNION. Nowadays, Non-humans races are part of the UNION, except a small number of extremely prideful ones. Vampire, by the way, is an influential race, due to their strength and intelligence, they are known as a low number of elites.

"Screeeeeeech!"
As I open the door, several whipped around, glaring at me standing awkwardly in the doorway, sender shivers down my spine before minding their own business. Gathering my courage, I walked towards the dwarf at the counter.
"Excuse me, I new here so I'm a bit, no very lost. Do you know a place where I can learn Necromancy?"
The Dwarf, I'll call him Bushi for now, because of his bushy beard, glared at me.
"Give it up kid, that petty little human will never teach a vamp. They're too busy being jealous of your natural potential."
Hearing those words, I could only let my discouragement show on my face, well what am I supposed to do now? No wonder 90% of the players play as humans.
"Hey now, kid, don't look as if someone murdered your mum. Just go home and become a farmer or something, a lot o'ya younguns tend ta chase after adventures, It's nat worth it, I'll tell ya. Risking ya life fa a bit o'gold."
Don't you worry old man, players don't die.
"I don't have a mother, she died a long time ago. My dad too."
The dwarf's hard face melted into a soft one. I'm not lying so I'm not guilty. My dad died when I was one and my mum killed herself after locking me in an abandoned cellar. Rats are not tasty, I swear.
"Then you're an orphan aye? I guess I'll help ya a bit. Ya see that ol lady, the one wearin a black pointy hat?" Said Bushi, pointing at one of the tables. "She can teach ya what ya lookin for. Come back for some drinks next time, lad. A little wine makes everything better."
"Hey! Who are you calling an old lady!" Yelled the necromancer, who I think is also a vamp from her crimson eyes. "I'm only 248, still young!"
"Hey, pipsqueak, ya got cash. The fee for my teachings is 25 silver, and I'll teach you all you need until level 25." The old young lady towered over me.
But I didn't have money. Oh!
"Inventory."
Small money Pouch Starter Iron Dagger 10 x Stale bread Flask
Equipping the money pouch and the dagger, I quickly take out 25 silvers. The devs have kindly left us with 1 gold to use on all our starter needs. I've decided to invest my remaining money into alchemy, so I can earn more quickly. Alchemy is cheap and useful, the herbs can be collected by yourself and the potions sell very quickly. A convenient way to make money and also useful if I want any poison, wich I'll need in large quantities. Hehehehe.
The old young lady threw some money on the counter.
"For the drinks," she said to the dwarf before turning to me, and with heavy beer breath gushing onto my face, saying,"And for you, lad, meet me by the north gate, 6:00 sharp in the morning.
Grabbing the new jugs of alcohol the dwarf just brought out, my new teacher marches back to her table.
Thanking the kind dwarf, I asked for a good place to learn alchemy before heading out.
Looking up at the sun, It was only mid-afternoon.

Father of Monsters
Earth and all of humanity is gone. like completely and utterly blown to cosmic space dust gone. Only one human managed to survive by pure luck of the draw. Leon Castro was pretty much your average joe. White guy, 5’11, brown eyes, dirty blond hair, and weighing in at around 160lbs. He was a guy with dreams of making it big someday in the future but having no real plan as to how he was going to achieve it. But Leon did have one thing going for him. He’d found a niche on the internet making videos that had gotten him quite a big following in the past year or so. Enough so that he could use the ad revenue to continue making those videos and not have to work another job to keep his tiny little apartment in Norfolk Virginia. The content of his videos was quite easily summed up in just a few words… Theoretical Monster Biology.This was the guy who survived. Transported to another world, where magic, a vaguely game like System, and Dungeons are a thing. (Warning) This is a first draft that has not been edited in any way. Directly from brain to word document. there is very little gore or sexual content early on but there will be. hence the tags. Cover Art was done by GGmadude over on the Discord.
