Chapter 01:- The Black Sun
Opening Theme: Rightfully - Mili
Ending Theme: アルカテイル - Konomi Suzuki
-The sound of explosions were heard from a distance as the sight of a large kingdom was seen in-flames as there were bodies of people scattered everywhere. The sight of knights were seen fighting against Imps and ghouls as the humans were being pushed back by the massive numbers of monsters until a large number of adventurers came and help as they slowly eradicated the large number of monsters within the Kingdom-
Adventurer 1: Casualties!
Knight 1: We lost over a hundred guards! We're the last of what's left of this kingdom's army! -He said as the adventurer would turn and see the sight of a dozen knights that were well armed but were getting tired-
Adventurer 1: What happened here?
Knight 2: Th-The moons...
Adventurer 1: The moons? -The man would look up as he gasped and his eyes widened to see the green moon was completely black while the red moon was glowing orange like the sun- What in God's name..
Knight 1: Look!
Adventurer 2: Oh hey, I think we got a problem!
Adventurer 1: Tsk! What now? -He turned to the other Adventurer and saw that he was pointing at the castle on top of the hill on the middle of the kingdom and saw the sight of a giant black dragon rising from the castle. It had bright grey wings and large muscles on its body as it stood on four legs as it had glowing spines on its back- A...Dragon...?
Knight 1: That! That thing attacked us by storming the kingdom with its flames!
Adventurer 2: That's not something we can handle!
Adventurer 3: Hey! If we stick together, we can beat that lizard!
Adventurer 2: Don't be stupid! I've never seen a dragon like that! It doesn't have normal eyes and its bones are glowing from the inside! You can see for yourself that its bones are glowing like molten lava! We can't beat it!
Adventurer 3: Think of the money we can make out of that!
Adventurer 2: To Hell with money! I'd rather live and earn twice the amount by killing Orcs or even Goblins rather than taking on a Dragon that never showed up in the archives!
Adventurer 1: Alright alright! That's enough! We don't even know if that thing is a dragon but let's just get the hell out of here and discuss this matter at the guild!
Adventurer 3: But the loot!
Adventurer 1: Shut up and let's go!
Adventurer 3: Ugh! Fine! -The man got irritated as he then followed the leader and the rest of the survivors and other adventurers would run out of the kingdom. The Dragon turn its head over to the adventurers that were leaving as its vision zoomed in onto the humans that were running away, the mighty beast roared powerfully as the roar echoed throughout the entire continent and shook the earth-
-In a forest that was not far from the kingdom that was under attack, the sight of elves were seen in the forest, watching the entire kingdom burn as many of the elves were High-Elves and young elf children, the adults' eyes widened as they hid themselves and the children behind and above the trees quickly as the entire kingdom exploded and created a massive explosion that shook the entire planet and caused the continent to split into multiple parts-
-Fifteen thousand years later-
"The Earth changed after it made its very appearance, bringing fear to even the most powerful beings. Heroes stutter and shriek at their very core from the mere mention of its name, legends sweat in fear from the sound of its mighty roar and even Gods doubt their own abilities to stop this powerful creature...And they call him..."
-The sight of a girl with hallow gold hair tied into a side plait and yellow-gold eyes with a guild uniform was seen talking to the younger adventurers that had just joined-
Guild Girl: Alright~ That's it for the story~ -She said with a smile on her face-
Young man: Aww! But it was just getting good!
Young girl: Yeah! What is the name of that dragon anyway?
Young girl 2: Yeah! Tell us! Please?
Guild Girl: I can't tell you guys~ Because I need to head back to the front desk to work~
Young man 2: Boo! That dragon doesn't sound that tough! I bet I could take it out easily!
Young girl: In your dreams!
Young man 2: What?!
-A strawberry-blonde haired man with bright blue armour and a long spear was seen walking by the four new adventurers as he would grin at the four and speak out to them-
Spearman: Hehe! How bout I tell you kids the name of the dragon?
Young man: Eh? You'll tell us?!
Spearman: Yeah! The man of the beast is- -Before he could finish, a woman would put her hand on the man's shoulder as he looked over to see a woman with long purple hair and a witch's outfit- Witch, what's up?
Witch: You can't...Tell them. It is...Forbidden to speak...It's name.
Spearman: Huh? It is?
Witch: Yes. It's dangerous.
Young man: It's forbidden to even say its name? A dragon's name?
Young girl: What's the worst that could happen? I mean it's just a name, right?
Young man 2: Yeah! Why can't you tell us its name?
Spearman: Ah well...Uh...
Witch: That is because.. -Before she could finish her sentence, the sound of an old man was heard speaking out to the group from above as the adventurers along with the guild members would look up to see the sight of a Dwarf holding onto an ale as a green haired High elf along with a blonde haired priestess and a lizardman was seen with the dwarf-
Dwarf shaman: That's because that monstrosity is an Overlord class monster!
Young man: An Overlord class monster?
Dwarf: Ye heard me, boy! It's the highest monster tier in the world! Legendary heroes would even doubt their skills and abilities to face such demons! Hahaha! -He said as he gargled down his ale as the green haired Elf would turn to the adventurers and speak out to them-
Elf Archer: The reason why nobody speak of its name is because the name itself is a curse.
Young girl 2: A curse? What do you mean?
Elf Archer: Hundreds to thousands of people had mentioned the dragon's true name before and when they did, they'd burn in flames.
Young man 2: Burn in flames? Ha! That just sounds ridiculous! You'd think we'd believe that?
Elf Archer: Well then, if you don't believe your elders then why don't you head to the archives and search for the dragon's name and say its name for yourself? But don't come haunting me if you didn't believe my warning.
Young man 2: Hmph! So be it! I'll gladly search its name then!
"If you have a death wish, then are you are free to speak of its name." -The sight of a fully armoured male was seen as he had a red cloth on his helmet and had a small round shield on his left arm-
Guild Girl: Goblin Slayer-san! -She happily called out to the man as everyone turned their attention to the armoured male while the four new adventurers look at him with worry-
Goblin Slayer: That dragon is not just any demon or beast that you can find in a forest or a cave or even in a abandoned castle. It is one of the world's most powerful creatures and you must not take it likely.
Spearman: To hear this guy talk about a dragon instead of Goblins is actually rare, if I were you, I'd take his advice...Literally. -He said to one of the new adventurers-
-Up above, the four members that work with Goblin Slayer would talk to each other-
Elf Archer: Orcbolg knows about the dragon?
Priestess: Ah, from what I was told, he did head to the location of the destroyed kingdom with Sword Maiden-san before to investigate about the Goblins there and he took an interest about this dragon.
Lizard Priest: Oh? To hear that he is interested in this beast is somewhat calming.
Elf Archer: Tell me about, it's always Goblins but to hear a different subject, I guess it sounds like a fresh new start. W-Wait, hold on a minute, he was with Sword Maiden? Why?!
Priestess: He said it was a personal request from the Kings from the Kingdom of the north and that they requested her to go investigate the destroyed kingdom with any company of her choosing.
Elf Archer: That wench...
Priestess: Wench?
Elf Archer: Ah! Nothing!
-Back down below-
Young Man 2: How would you know that the curse of the dragon's name still exists?! I heard that dragon hasn't shown its ugly face for over thousands of years!
Witch: Fifteen...Thousand years..
Young Girl: It's that ancient then why worry about it now?
Goblin Slayer: Because it is the cause of the creation of the Demon Lord.
Young Girl 2: D-Demon Lord?!
Elf Archer: Ah, now that you mentioned it. After the Hero defeated the Demon Lord and went through the archives in its castle, the Hero announced to everyone from the Kingdom of the South to the North, West and East that the Demon Lord was created by a greater being of destruction, one where its name cannot be written or even spoken of. Which concludes the dragon we were talking about this entire time.
Young man: So that explains it, huh?
Young man 2: How can that dragon thing create a demon lord?! It's just a dragon?
Guild Girl: Ancient Dragons have magic powers that could do a lot of things like us Humans could do but with much greater power. Ancient Dragons could cast Armageddon, apocalypse or even recreate life and repair damage and heal wounds along with telepathic magic and foresight. Regular dragons are the ones we see today, sleeping in caves or forests or even at the top of mountains, roaming around the world, hunting prey within the sky or ground, although they rarely come after us Humans, Elves, Dwarves and Lizardmen, they primarily hunt down larger monsters. Wyverns, cousins of the dragons, which are the lesser forms of the might beasts are smaller and can be easily tamed and trained if using the right methods, however Dark Dragons and Demonic Dragons are even more powerful than Ancient Dragons.
Young girl: They're much more powerful?
Dwarf Shaman: Dark Dragons are rulers of the night! They will hunt and kill everything in sight around their territory at night! When the Sun rises, they head back to their home and sleep and continue their work once night kicks in.
Young man: What about Demonic Dragons?
Lizard Priest: Demonic Dragons are intelligent and unpredictable creatures! They have ancestral powers that could change the course of any battlefield and communicate with anyone. Like the Devil, it is possible to be allies with a Demonic Dragon, however everything comes with a price after all.
Young man: Huh? I don't understand..
Goblin Slayer: Demonic Dragons accept any task given to them, even if its from humans but the cost will be heavy.
Young man: How so?
Guild Girl: Let's just say that if he were to make a deal with a Demonic Dragon. -She said as she referred to the second young adventurer-, the dragon would do everything that he was asked to do but in exchange of doing that, he'll either destroy your village and home, kill everyone in that town and absorb their souls or it'll kill you and make you a servant. Demonic Dragons are not servants of the Demon Lord, since they were born directly from the first ancestral Overlord dragon that we have been talking about.
Young man 2: You mean the one that you guys won't say its name?
Guild Girl: Yes~
Young man 2: So you're telling me that Demonic dragons, Demon Lords and other dark creatures were born from this Overlord class monster?
Witch: Yes.
Young man 2: I see...
Elf Archer: Still wanna go out and find out its name and say its name out loud or you wanna be a good boy and kill weaker creatures like giant rats or Goblins?
Young man 2: In all consideration...I'd rather have the latter..
Elf Archer: As expected. -She said with a smile on her face as she then turn her attention to the Guild Girl and Goblin Slayer as the two were talking, Elf Archer would pout slightly as she then notice that the Priestess was not beside her anymore along with the other two as the three had gone down to meetup with Goblin Slayer- Wha-?! Why'd you guys leave me?! -She yelled as she'd then jump down from the second floor to meet up with her group-
Goblin Slayer: Anything about Goblins?
Guild Girl: Ah yes~ There is one but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to take this quest.
Goblin Slayer: If it's about taking out Goblins then I'll take it.
Guild Girl: A-Are you sure? This is quest is somewhat ridiculous..
Goblin Slayer: It doesn't matter.
Priestess: Um excuse me, what is the quest?
Guild Girl: It's to take out the two Goblin Lords in the destroyed Kingdom of Oboros..
Elf Archer: Oboros?!
Priestess: Oboros? Do you know that kingdom?
Elf Archer: Oboros is a sanctuary for Demons and dark spirits...It's not exactly a place we can simply step foot on, Orcbolg.
Dwarf Shaman: I-I agree with Long-Ears, Oboros is a dangerous place, Beardcutter! Even Paladins don't make it out alive of the place!
Goblin Slayer:...-He looked at his companions and saw the worried look on their faces as he would then turn to the Guild Girl- Any information about the Goblins in Oboros heading out?
Guild Girl: No, they have been holding up in that abandoned place for quite sometime, increasing their numbers but never engaging in combat with the villages and kingdoms nearby.
Goblin Slayer. I see. Are there any other quests?
Guild Girl: There is a quest to slay a Goblin Champion in the mountain of Verano.
Priestess: Just the one champion?
Guild Girl: There are a few lesser Goblins with the Champion but I'm not sure if there are any Lords or Shamans with the Champion, let alone Hobgoblins as well.
Goblin Slayer: We'll take it.
Guild Girl: A-Are you sure? It's going to be a long journey.
Goblin Slayer: It's alright, I have an idea.
Dwarf Shaman: Oh? An idea from our Beardcutter? This is going to be interesting!
Lizard Priest: Indeed, I am excited to see what we will face during our journey to the mountains.
Elf Archer: Ugh...You guys..
-Outside of the town, in the mountains far in the North, the sight of thousands of demons, lesser-monsters, dark dragons, demonic dragons and goblins along with orcs and ogres were seen as they were in the mountains, hiding behind the dark clouds that was covering the mountain, the monsters would all growl in fear as they would all scream and roar loudly at a large cave that was in the mountain. Lava began to ooze out from the cave slowly, killing the weaker demons and monsters while the others made way and avoided contact with the lava. The sight of two bright yellow glowing eyes were seen from within the cave as the ground shook through out the moments as it was footsteps. The goblins and lesser creatures cower in fear as the sight of a giant black and blue dragon with glowing bones were seen walking out of the cave. It exhaled as steam came out of the dragon's nostrils and eyes glowed brightly as it would growl and the beating of its heartbeat was heard loudly as even the animals from the forests below the mountain could hear the heartbeat as the animals flee in panic. The dragon would roar powerfully as it shook the entire earth from its roar. One of the Demonic dragons would approach the Overlord beast as it began speaking to it-
Demonic dragon: My Liege, welcome back from your long eternal slumber, Lord of the Black Sun, Abaddon-sama.
Abaddon: Prepare...Setup..
Demonic dragon: As you command! -He roared at the other creatures as they nodded and cheered loudly by roaring and screaming together as they would spread out to the forest and began chopping down trees and killing animals for food-
Abaddon: Today, the world will understand the true terror of eternal destruction of the Black Sun, for I am Abaddon...The...Overlord! -He roared loudly once more. As Goblin Slayer and his friends heard the sound of the roar from afar as the group were riding in a horse cart as they looked up and turned their attention to the source of the sound of the roar-
Elf Archer: W-What was that?
Priestess: A warning call?
Dwarf Shaman: Scaly, what was it?
Lizard Priest: Th-That was...That was a...
Goblin Slayer: A Dragon call..

The "Black Sun" is a dark army, controlled by the Overlord known as "Abaddon", The army was created as a backup if the 60th and 100th Demon Lords were defeated by a powerful chosen hero and the Black Sun would replace the Demon Lord's weak army and eradicate the hero and their allies, leaving behind only fear and curses.
