Chapter 8

Recruitment

I woke up the next morning with a minor headache.

'I need to get more sleep.'

I thought as I yawned and looked around.

After I shook my head I got up and changed back into my slayer outfit.

'Why do I have a feeling today is gonna suck?'

'Cmon things could be worse.'

I walked down stairs and saw the news was on.

"A large earthquake and several fires last night woke up many residents from their sleep,here with a report is a midget in a bikini."

The TV transitioned to a midget in a bikini and I was just confused.

"Tom,government workers here are assuring everyone that nothing out of the ordinary has happened, they claim the only reason the huge tents have gone up to cover the area, is to mask the construction of a new taco bell that will open up later this month."

I turned off the TV and sighed.

'Maybe we shouldn't have blown up the ship.'

I sighed and nodded

'Mistakes were made. I just hope that nothing too awful happened.'

I walked into the kitchen and saw my mom cooking breakfast while my father sat at the table drinking coffee.

"Hey there Son how did you sleep?"

My father asked.

I shrugged.

"Not that good."

"Guess the earthquake woke you up."

"Yeah it did."

I lied to him, the last thing my parents needed to know was my space adventure or that I apparently gained a servant.

'Best to keep our abilities a secret.'

'Agreed.'

My mom placed a plate of eggs on the table

"Here's your breakfast sweetie."

"Thanks mom."

I sat and ate my food quickly when I saw a message on my phone.

Cartman messaged me to go to his backyard.

This made me sigh in annoyance.

"I'm gonna go play outside and I'll be back later."

"Ok just be back before it gets too late."

I nodded at my father

After leaving my house I saw Butters and Kenny walk up to me.

"My Lord the King has requested your presence."

"Yeah i know."

I said walking pass them.

'You could be nicer to them.'

'Red after last night my niceness is zero.'

'Fair enough."

I approached Cartman.

"Ok What do you want?"

"Sir N I'm glad you're here something terrible has happened."

"What? Run out of snack food?"

I heard some kids laugh.

"Shut up! The elves took the Stick during the earthquake, which is bullshit because we said no taking the Stick at night."

"Are you sure it was them?"

"Yes! They're the only ones, now Sir N i have an important mission for you,you seem to make friends quicker than anyone, seek out the Goth Kids and get them to join our side."

'That shouldn't be too hard, you did gain control of one of them.'

Red told me

I sighed and left the yard with Butters and Kenny.

"So where are the Goth Kids?"

"Behind the school."

Butters told me.

I used Timmy's fast travel to get me back to the school.

"Thanks Timmy."

"TIMMY!"

He shouted before leaving

"I'm getting used to that."

I walked behind the school and saw the Goth Kids.

Henrietta saw me and immediately bowed to me.

"The Demon Lord is here."

Her friends looked at me with confused faces.

"How do you know he's a demon Lord?"

The one with a red streak in their hair asked.

She held her hand up to show the mark and it glowed a little near me.

"Ok so you're bound to him whatever."

I sighed as Henrietta introduced me to each of them.

I handed the letter to Michael.

"Join the Kingdom of Kupa Keep to battle the wicked Eleves, all recruits welcome."

He crumbled the note.

"Sorry Frodo we don't play dungeons and douchebags."

"Fine I actually don't care."

"That's pretty goth of you."

The Goth Kids looked at each other, talked and then looked at me.

"Tell you what New Kid get some new clothes, some coffee and cigarettes then talk to us again, prove you're not a conformist then we'll consider joining your stupid game."

I sighed annoyed and walked to the front of the school and Henrietta followed me

"I hate side quests."

Butters looked at me.

"You might want to consider doing them though."

At this point I was tired of waiting.

"Butters explain why all this is happening and why things that would normally be a kids game be in real life."

"Well it all started on Black Friday, we were split between PS4 and Xbox One but after it all we decided to make this game instead and well sometimes when we work really hard on a game it becomes real."

I just looked confused.

"You know What I'm gonna stop questioning this town."

Henrietta walked in front of me.

"I have something for you my Lord."

She handed what appeared to be a crystal ball.

The ball shined and vanished.

"Ok what was that?"

"A lair maker, you can now make a lair for yourself."

"Why did you get it?"

"The ritual spawns it for the follower so that they may present it to their master."

"So how do I use it?"

"You say a ritual spell in the area you want your lair to be."

This made me think.

"Alright I'll do it later today."

I went near Jimbo's guns first, I heard there were some 6th graders with cigarettes.

Sure enough they were there smoking.

I walked up to them.

"You have two options, hand over the cigarettes or me and my friends kick your asses."

They just laughed at me.

Henrietta was about to do something but I stopped her.

"Wait."

"Yeah right you stupid fourthie, let's get him."

One of them was shot by a bow 3 times and knocked him out.

The other one was hit by a powerful lightning blast.

I nod at Butters at Kenny before aiming my gun at the last 6th Grader.

"Now what was I saying?"

We left a minute later with the cigarettes.

"Wow what a coward."

"You did aim a gun at him."

I looked at Kenny

"Fear is a good motivator, and I don't hesitate."

Henrietta nodded at me.

"Just like a demon lord should."

I continued walking.

"Do any of you know where I could get some goth clothes?"

Henrietta nodded at me.

"There is someone near storage who sells them."

"How close is it?"

I said as I continued walking.

"Pass the coffee shop"

"Alright we'll get coffee first."

I turned to see the Tweek's Coffee building.

I walked inside and purchased some coffee but when I walked out we were surrounded by 8 elves.

"Well shit."

The elves approached me and one of them spoke to me.

"N the Slayer, the Elf King had requested your presence. You can either come quietly or you can fight. But I warn you fighting this fight at this point in the game is a waste of time so you might as well come quietly."

I sighed

"Considering the fact that I can destroy all of you screw it I'll go."

One of them tied my hands behind my back and they all escorted me away.

Henrietta tried to stop them.

"Stop, go back to your group. I will meet up with you later."

Henrieta nodded and left.

I looked back at Butters and Kenny.

"Call us if you need us my Lord!"

I chuckled a little

'Well at least they're loyal.'

Red said to me

'Yeah though i might not be.'

'What do you mean?'

'Look Kenny and Butters are nice but Cartman has pissed me off quite a bit so depending on how this meeting goes will depend on what I do next.'

'What if they just keep you prisoner?'

'I have literal super powers.'

'Fair Enough.'

The elves brought me to someone else's backyard where I saw a bunch of kids with fake elf ears.

The elves brought me in front of their King.

"I've heard quite a lot about you N the Slayer he walks in front of me."

"Ok and?"

He untied my hands.

"You're playing for the wrong side dude."

"Oh really?"

I said sarcastically.

"What did Wizard fat ass tell you? That we broke the rules and took the stick last night?"

"Yeah exactly that, though to be honest it sounds like a lie."

"Exactly."

I looked at a kid in a blue hat.

"Cartman just wants you to recruit more people for him."

I nod at this

"That seems likely."

I turned to the elf King

"Let me guess You want me to help you and recruit goth kids for you."

The Elf King nods at me.

"You're wise Sir N, so what do you say?"

He held his hand out to me.

"Will I humiliate Cartman?"

"Most likely."

I shook his hand.

"I'm in, but I'm not wearing any of those ears."

"Fair enough."

He sits back on this throne.

"But before anything else you must prove your loyalty to my followers."

Jimmy and the kid in a Blue hat who I found out is named Stan, approached me.

I looked back at the Elf King who's named Kyle.

"Do each of their quests then bring the goth kids to our side, oh and if you betray us we'll tell everyone you're a butthole."

'Ok rude'

'You sure you want to still work with these guys?'

'Still better than Cartman.'

I approached Jimmy.

"Sorry about yesterday."

"It-its fine, a-all a part of the game."

I nod

"Anyway what's your quest?"

"As a bard I require a flute-the-there is one at the Ranch."

"Ok I'll meet you there."

Jimmy used Timmy to go to the ranch then I looked at Stan.

"All is lost, my contacts,my maps,my friends list. All taken from me by the She-Ogre. She has no soul."

"Ok I know this is part of the game and i am willing to help you, but I'm gonna need you to speak modern english because i have no idea what you're talking about."

"My sister stole my IPhone, can you help me get it back?"

"Why don't you just tell your parents?"

"They wouldn't believe me."

I thought for a minute

"Fine, how close is your house?"

"Right there."

He points at one of the houses next to Kyle's.

I followed Stan.

We went inside his house and went to the stairs.

"Nothing can prepare you for this battle. If I die, tell my friends I fought bravely."

"Serious dude it's just your sister she can't be that bad."

"You have no idea."

We walked up stairs and went inside a room.

I saw a 12 year old girl with headgear on the bed.

"Give me back my IPhone Demon!"

The girl looked pissed

"You little turd!"

"I've brought help, let's see you try to take us both!"

I approached his sister.

"Look this can end peacefully and no one has to get hu-"

I was interrupted by a punch to my face knocking me into a wall.

"Ow!"

I got up.

"Ok violence it is."

I drew both my blades and was immediately grabbed and slammed into the floor.

This made me drop my blades and I was thrown straight into a wall.

I fell onto the ground.

'Ok Red I think i'm gonna need some help here.'

'Alright but you've already taken a lot of damage.'

'Yeah i definitely feel that, how the hell is she so strong?'

'No clue.'

As I was talking with Red, Stan's sister ran at me and tried to punch me.

I noticed this and just before she hit me, I grabbed her fist before it hit me.

I looked up at her with my glowing red eye.

"I hope you remember I gave you a peaceful way out."

I used my other arm to punch her back.

Using my aura I covered my arms to up my defense and attack.

I knew that if I use my aura blasts i would run out of PP quickly

She ran back at me in an attempt to punch me again.

This time I ducked and uppercut her.

I jumped and punched her into the ground.

She grabbed my leg and using only one arm threw me into a wall again.

"Ok I'm getting really tired of this."

She ran at me when a discus was thrown and it tripped her.

She turned around and saw that Stan threw it.

"Leave my friend alone Shelly!"

Shelly looked at her brother with a glare.

"Prepare to die Turd!"

I fully believed she was going to kill her brother.

'Red can I use all my aura at once?'

'You can but i'm not sure what will happen.'

'Well screw it.'

I ran at Shelly.

'Red put all my energy into my right arm.'

I felt my arm get taken over by aura and I swung it to punch Shelly.

I looked and saw my arm wasn't normal.

It was red and scaly with claws in my fingertips and a horn in my elbow.

I punched Shelly and knocked her onto her bed.

She was unconscious.

I looked at my arm then at my phone.

'A new skill?'

I saw transformation was available to me.

With this I can use all my PP to transform parts of my body for a short time depending on how much I have left.

'I've seen this before.'

I heard Red say.

'What is it?'

'I remember something about a demon Lord transforming, but that's it.'

'So Henrietta was right, I am a Demon.'

'No at least not entirely, I'm not sure what we or even you are but one thing for sure, you definitely have a lot of mystery ahead of you.'

'Mhm, but this is definitely a valuable clue.'

As I discussed this with Red,Stan grabbed his IPhone and the two of us left his house.

My arm returned to normal.

"I bow to you ogre slayer, I am proud to call you friend."

"G glad...i could...help."

I fell on one knee.

"Sir N are you ok?"

I shook my head.

"I used up all my energy with that last attack and I took a lot of damage, what the hell does your sister do to get so strong?"

"My mom and dad said something about puberty, anyway let's get you back to the elven kingdom so you can rest there."

I stood up weakly and followed Stan back.

Kyle looked at us.

"What happened to him?"

"Sir N helped me defeat the She-Ogre but he used up all his PP in his last attack."

"I see, get him some potions."

Some elves gave me a small bag full of drinks.

"These will restore your PP, use them well."

I drank one of them and felt better.

'Guess this has something to do with the game.'

I put the potions in my inventory and looked at Kyle.

"Thanks I really needed those."

"Let me guess Cartman didn't give you any?"

"Not even one."

"Figures, he's too greedy and would rather make his followers fight to the death then share potions."

I nodded.

"I'm gonna go help Jimmy now."

I left the elven kingdom and used Timmy to go to the Ranch.

But during the ride I thought one thing.

Why do I have this power?

AN:I had a lot of fun writing this so i decided not to write Jimmy's quest in, mostly cause it's not as good and won't be as fun as the Shelly battle. Also this chapter is already pretty long. And yes I am gonna have a chapter of N building his lair at one point. Another thing i should mention, I will be putting most if not all the side quests in a separate chapter but that wont be until way later. I hope you enjoyed the battle of N vs Shelly, and comment what you think N is, Peace out.
