Chapter Text
Ulbert look at the scene of slaughter before him...at this moment he should be sprawling on the ground vomiting everything out. But somehow, there was some kind of primal instinct that made Ulbert unable to look away, if anything he was turned on, he can smell the salty odor of blood, he can taste the slightly acidic iron in the air.
Then, his eyes caught upon the beast man child in the corner. Her face was a visage of fear, eyes widening, and shivering to the limit. Then the child fainted, her body collapse under the intense pressure of the beast before her.
Ulbert look upon the remaining human left before him, this one has fainted as well.
Ulbert then raised his hand toward the human and chant:
"Oh spirit of the darkness that made up the veil of the world of here and now, come to me and do my bidding [Restraint]."
Under the man body, tendrils of shadow sprang up and wrapped themselved upon the body of the man, restraining him to the earth.
Ulbert then pick up the child and laid her down a fallen tree, he then went into the forest and what he experience was something that he himself never could have dream of.
He can taste the various texture and odor of the forest, this swelling, this mass of sensation assault his senses all at once. Ulbert was bewildered.
Then his passive kicked in and he was calm again.
"...hmmm...I should make a fire..well...hmm...what spell to use, I woudln't want to start a fire in this place, especially if I don't know how strong it is, I mean...cmon, a tier 8 spell wasn't suppose to kill anybody, restrain their movement, yes, but kill them off that easily...there's no way."
Ulbert went around and gather the dry twigs and fallen branches, he took them back to the place of the fainted beast man child. Ulbert then pointed one of his long claw at the mound of dry woods and spoke:
"O spirit of fire, O king of the South, your master command you, lent me a lesser fire [Summon Fire Sprite]"
The mound of woods burst into flame and tiny figure rose from the ashes, it spoke to Ulbert
"O great master, what is thy bidding?"
"Keep this fire going, I need the warmth of the fire for this child. Do not Let it go out, Do not harm this child either."
"I hear and Obey Thy will, O Great Master." The sprite replied.
The crackling of the fire resounded within the cold night of the forest, and eventually the two mortal awoke. The human was first, his reaction was most amusing to Ulbert. He was screaming on top of his lung, then he begged, and then he cursed in all manner of insult. Feeling that this was a bothersome. Ulbert took off one of the undergarment of one of the corpses and stuffed them into the man's mouth.
Ulbert then turn around happen upon a scent, it made him hungry, the smell was coming from the corpses, admist the rotten meat, Ulbert could tell that there is a hidden tasty morsel. His human side revolted that the thought of digging through the corpses like some scavenging animal, while his animal side relish at the thought of discovering an uneaten tasty morsel. The two side fought and the beast won. Ulbert lunge at the corpses and started tearing them apart.
Maggot flung out, stinking stench of rotten meat arose, but the beast does not stop, it crack open the skulls of the corpses and slurped upon the brain, it feasted.
The stench reached the nose of the beast-man child, and when she woke, what she saw was a creature, with jet black fur, long claws and two curled horns with letters inscribed on them.
The child whisper in a fearful voice, like that a small kitten,
"...Uragath.."
She remember her mother's stories of a creature, black as the night, a fearsome entity that lives in the woods, it said that not many have ever seen said creature but it was an entity that prey upon misbehaving beast-men children. The child was afraid, it could not stop shaking, and its life seem to be passing before its eyes. Then the child's eyes met with the entity.
Ulbert saw the child looking at him from across the firepit. He rose up and walk toward the child. the child screamed:
*hiiiiieee*
Ulbert stop and thought.
[...uh...ok...huh?...Ah...she be must be terrify with all that have happen today, I probably be screaming my lungs off now if I was meeting with a monster covered in blood..thank god for the passive skills. Perhaps, I should treat her wound, then maybe I will find out what I need to find out...]
Ulbert reach out his hand and activate his inventory, a rip in the air appear and a hole was form, Ulbert reach into the hole and took out a vials, ruby blood red liquid sloshing around inside the vials, and the vials itself was of intricated gold and glass work.
He held it out to the child and said "Child of beast, take this gift, the gift of me, and heal your injuries."
The child wouldn't move, and Ulbert was puzzle, he couldn't understand why the child would not take the help offered. Then he noticed something was off, he could feel that he was giving out some sort of aura or power….it was difficult for words. After all, how do you describe a feeling that only you would know.
[...Ah...I see…so that's why…..look like my fear aura was being let out…..I always activate them to farm mobs….haha……Ah, I remember of having my aura to freeze mobs in their place and then just bombard them with firepower from a carpet….ahhaha….guess I should turn it off…but how?....Maybe…]
Ulbert mentally gave a command out within his mind [--Fear Aura Deactivate!--]
Eventually the child was able to understood the event that just happen. She was amazed that her grievous injuries was healed so easily, and that the creature before her wasn't a Uragath but another beastman by the name of Ulbert Alain Odle. She thought he was of royalty, for only noblemen and royalty can have so many name.
"please great noble, please help my family, I will offer all that I have and if you wish, myself if you would help rescue my family in Shulvaris."
The beast-man child begged the entity before her.

Ulbert looking at the scene before him, on his right a human restrained in tendrils of darkness, in the front of him, under his hooves, was a cat-like female beastman child kneeling with her head on the ground begging him to save her family.
Ulbert was confused
[...huh?...what just happen?...how did we get to this point?...Im confused...]
Alright...judging from the strength of the human I encountered til now, they were really weak, but the same may not be said to all of them...Arrg..Wake Up Ulbert, You are the Demon King, You are the One who can bring down the Gods, You are the a World Disaster. And a Demon King should always be enemies to humanity.
Ulbert then said to the beast man child: "Raise thou head, O child of beast, I shalt grant thee thy wishes, however understood that all thing always have a price, even freedom."
[...oh how true that was, talking about this bullshit got me remember my job, oh what a dreadful job that was, I never wanted to go back doing that ever again. I shouldn't have stick my nose where it doesn't belong...shit...I still got fucking nightmare about it....]
This particular event was one where Ulbert was called in for a job to fix the machine at a up and coming company name Rezzin Peze's, which belong to one of the six major Corporate Governemnt, the Ishimaryu Corporation in the Republic of Rea-chin* . What Ulbert accidentally saw there had haunt his soul forever. Rezzin Peze's primary selling point was that its entire server staff was made of clones, and the corporation number one most selling product in Rea-chin was a protein drink known as Peze's Milk.
The secret of the milk taste of delicious-ness was...liquify human clones, it offer a unique taste to the ignorant inhabitant of the world.
The state of the world in 2138 was not a happy one. The air is toxic, the ocean are nothing but a big cesspool, toxic to the touch, going for a swim is suicide, it would be more better to shoot yourself in the head rather than to go swim in the any fool dare went down to the toxic river and ocean, that fool would spent thirty day in terrible agony, their inside would eventually break down and they would drown in their own organ-turned liquid. There are no beaches anymore, and middle class citizen live in City Block, massive building that hold more than 10,000 inhabitant, while the more richer and wealthier citizen would live in dome of glass, with their own personal clean water lake and mountains, trees and the likes. The farmland outside of Japan are replaces by factories and Dome and mega highway. 100 years ago, pigs, cow and chicken are common place commodity, now only those of the Dome may enjoy such an exquisite delight.
The clones of Rezzin Peze's would be marched into certain factory when they suffered accidents, injuries, or outlive their usefulness. The unfortunate clones would be have their head cut off, the hand and feet removed, and hang on hooks which transport them through the factory, into great vat of somekind of liquid where these headless, handless, feetless corpses would get liquify and process into Protein Drinks. Naturally because he was under contract, he have no choice but to kept quiet about it, he could have ignore and risk the contract but with the power of the Corporation, it was either keep quiet and being allow freedom, or to say anything and spend his next 100 years on the mines in Pluto.
Ulbert's vision of such horror haunt his every waking moment, and this in turn affect his work performances, which eventually result in his temporary suspension.
Perhaps it was guilt, or perhaps it was his desire for redemption or just maybe desire for endless carnage. Whatever the reason was, Ulbert once hearing the story from the beast-man child, he decided that this will be his quest for world Domination, and............
.................Shulva-ris will be his first Castle. There He will replace the human as the dominant species.

In a small clearing in the forest, a fire was slowly burning out.
The fire sprite have done its job and with a small *poof* it was gone. Surrounding the fire-pit was three being, sleeping under the night sky.
A human, tied up and gagged.
A tiger beastman child, in ragged clothings and messy fur.
An avatar of darkness itself, jet black fur, two vicious curled horn with rune like letter engraving on them.
Under the moonlight, Ulbert could make out shapes of humanoid in the trees, but there were no scent, there are presences, yes, but scent, no.
One, became three then five and soon it increases to thousands of these shadowy beings and they were all stood there, surrounding the camp.
If one strained their ear they can hear ghostly whisper resounding in the masses of shadow.
"...it hurt..."
"...forgive me...please..."
"...mama...sistah..."
"...save us..."
"...I will kill you..."
"...save us...save us...please..."
"...avenge us..."
whisper-like scream echo through the clearing.
Then the masses of shadow parted and a more solid looking shadow rose up from the dark earth, it struggle with all its might to pull its body out of ground and crawl toward Ulbert.
The shadow place its hand upon Ulbert's hooves, and Ulbert with his racial ability can see in the darkness and the being before him was a...well...let just say that for such a sight, a normal human would have scream in terror and run while shitting their pant.
The being before Ulbert was humanoid to say the least, its skin was bloated and white, maggots swimming underneath the skin, its eye socket was a hollow darkness and black blood flow down its cheek. The mouth was filled to the brim with maggots and carrions, its ear was rotten but one can see that they resemble that of a tiger. Ulbert can see that the poor soul's fur was matted and mangled, it would have been beautiful once but now splotches of fur have been ripped out while maggots flowing out from the holes.
*mumble*
*mumble*
"...*mumble*...save us..."
"...save us O Lord...save us please...we beg of thee..."
"...SAVE US...!" The creature screamed before disappearing into a cloud of smoke.
Ulbert eventually fell asleep once again.
Morning come, the sun was shining in the sky, beam of light pierce through the leaves and Ulbert was woken with one of these beam of light shining at his face.
...uurrggghh...Damn, that was a vivid dream...wow...the sun huh, when was the last time that I have ever felt the warmth of the sun on my face...
Ulbert arch his body upward, stretching his back and scratch his goat's beard. Feeling a tightening feeling around his private part. Ulbert curiously look down and saw...
The tiger beastmen child from the day before was being wrapped by a large snake, the body was about as large as a human's forearm. However the thing that surprise Ulbert wasn't the hugging but it was the snake.
The snake look normal enough, it look to be a type of snake known as a Cobra, but at the place where the tail of the snake was suppose to be, there were no tail. The body if the snake was connected to Ulbert crotch, he can feel the beastman child soft body, her warm breath in the cold morning, her soft and perky breast pressing against the body of the snake. Ulbert can feel his( the snake's) part tense and stiffen.
Fearing for the child safety, he gently lift the snake off the child.
Ulbert looked around, intending to put the human he spare to good use and saw...in the place where the human is...there's nothing.
The ropes Ulbert took from the one of the corpses to tied up the man lay in the mud, while the dirty underpant-turxned-gag-implement was on the side and there was a set of foot print leading away from the camp.
"...aaahhh...shit...dammit...shoulda taken care of that problem when I had the chance...oh well...what's the worst that can happen?" Ulbert muttered under his breath.

Captain Vaiz Dylqui of the Shulva-ris garrison was having a very bad time.
"What did I do to deserve this?" He lamented while nursing a drink in a tavern.
The past two days were a nightmare, but at least yesterday morning was fine. He woke up with his sex slave on his fine velvet bed, then he gotten a good meal and the business was usual. Then at night time, the Nobelch family came knocking at his door, rousing him up and out from his nightly enjoyment. They screamed at him for hours on end about their stupid son and his friends who didn't return from their little outing. Then this morning, just when he had finally able to convince the old bastard of a noble that his son and his friends were just maybe deciding to camp out, the second sons of the Valiere family who was suppose to be in Nobelch party was found running for his life by the Shulva-Ris's patrollers.
The stupid spoiled rotten little shit was muttering incoherently about some demon with black fur falling out of the sky and killed everyone. Whatever happen was certainly bad but one thing was clear, that the elder son of the Nobelch family was dead and his party were wipeout like wild dogs. Now Vaiz is being summoned before the Bishop of Shulva-ris to report and then no doubt be forced to deal with the problem.
*step*
*step*
*creak*
*thud*
"Ah, Captain, so nice of you to join me. I hope that I did not catch you at a bad time?"
The Bishop asked innocently.
"No, your excellency, it is my solemn duty to assist the Bishop of Shulva-ris with whatever problem that may arise. How can this lowly servant be of service?"
"Captain, no doubt you have heard what happen to Nobelch and his group, no?"
"Yes, I have but I'm afraid that with the rather confuse state of the only survivor, there's just not enough information. For all we know that there is no demon but this is a work of a renegade group of beastmen."
"Quite so, quite so. Still the point of the matter is that as thing stand, the Nobelch family is calling for blood. They're quite aggressive about it, and they are after all, one of our most generous worshipper. So therefore, Captain, by the Authority granted to me by the miko and the church of Theocracy, I hereby order you to investigate this incident and bring the perpetrator to justice!"
"As you will Your excellency."
Vaiz bow before the Bishop and took his leave.
Walking out of the Southern Cathedral, the captain took off his helmet and scream to the sky, attracting the attention if the nearby guarding paladins.
"WHY?" He screamed.
After the tavern, Vaiz return to the garrison, grumbling and seething with hatred, he kicked a door open.
"Oy, close the door, it's too bright."
A burly red hair man called out. In his hand was a mug of stout, Under the bench by his feet was a she-cow, slumping on her breast and stomach, exhausted while semen flowing out from her orifice. Her eyes empty.
All over the room, dark shape begin to move, mass of muscles here and there. Whimpering like moan and screams resounding within the room. One can see various female beastmen laying around, some are huddle together in a corner, iron shackles chained their feet tothe ground or to the wall, their naked body covered by rags or nothing. They shivered in the cold air.
"Shut the hell up, Merluis. Wake up and get your shit together!"
" 'ey there captain, what's up?"
A blond hair man by the name of Yureth asked.
"Oy, you cunt, suck it properly!"
Yureth spoke while punching the face of a she-cat who stopped to breathe.
The she-cat screamed and crawl back to the man and continue her duties.
In another corner, a young beastman child was being humped by a large, fat and piggish human. The child cried and cried in pain and agony while the man laugh and grunting like a pig.
"...hahahaha...uuurrgghh...fuck you! fuck you! you little shit...aaahhh."
The human climax and the child was exhausted. Blood flowed and stained the bed-sheet. The human name was Boris Nobelch, third son of the Nobelch family.
It was common knowledge to the upper crust of human in Shulva-ris that the Nobelch family tend to have rather unusual fetishes. The eldest have a taste for blood and young girl while the second son rumored to have a taste for other men, and the third have a taste for young boys and so on. The same can be said for the women of the Nobelch family whom enjoy a course in torture and torment.
By the law of Theocracy, copulation with demi-human, is forbidden and punishable by 100 lashes. However because Shulva-ris is quite a long way away from the central territory. The officials here tend to look the other way when it come to enforcing the Theocracy's laws, providing that they received certain renunciation for services render.
"BORIS! Get your fucking fat ass out of that bed and get into Uniform. As for the Rest of You Fucking Bastard, we got a fucking job to do!" Vaiz comanded.
"So what we'll be doing today eh? Capt."
Yureth asked.
" The eldest son of the Nobelch family has been murdered, the Bishop have tasked me with the job of finding and bringing the perpetrator of this crime to justice."
"Wait...what...Brother is dead?" Boris exclaimed.
Boris's expression changed from calm to anger, he grab the nearby beastman child's head, tightening and squeezing it with his burly large hand.
He angrily exclaimed " That Bastard! How dare he gone and died before me? Arrrhgghhhh...fuck, fuck it all to hell!"
His grip on the child's head tightened and the boy screamed. The boy struggle with all his remaining might, uselessly flailing his fist against the human's thick arm and steel like grip.
Boris noticed his prey uselessly struggle and find it annoying. He lifted the boy up by his head, release his grip and in an instant just before the boy feet touched the ground, Boris kicked the boy.
The boy flew into the wall in a sickening *smack*.
The body slid down the rough granite wall, leaving a trail of blood. The boy was dead on impact. His skull cracked, and his bones broken, his internal organ's bruised and ripped. Blood flow out of the boy's mouth. His body limped.
Boris spat on the ground "annoying little shit..."
"Alright, alright that's enough fun. Now get your asses in gear, we ride out by nightfall."
"Whhooooweeee, a good hunt after all this waiting."
Taking a swig from his cup, Merluis said " So then Capt. what are we hunting?"
"According to the Valiere's brat, we'll be hunting a goat demon with black fur. Load of bullshit, the little wimp must have met a full grown beastman that prove too strong for them to bite. So they ran and got killed and now it's our job."
Vaiz reply and lamented. He cursed internally.
[...stupid rotten little shit, why do they have to ruin my perfect vacation post. Wash your neck for me, you damn furry little shit, I will make you regret bringing your trouble to my attention..]
