Thought
"Speak"
[Spell]
After screaming to the bed for a while finally she calmed down. Right now Luther sit on the throne alone with the deth guard and the Eternal Deth cross horizontally on her lap hold by her left hand, she thought of all she learn after the event. First For some reason she transport to a new world and transform into her character, this theory is strength by Marty report on surrounding area. Second ever since she became her character, a first blood vampire, she have no need for food or water or even breathing. Third HOLY HELL magic are real. And fourth, all the NPCs are real including all the monster, undead and horror store in the fleets, the last one struck her the last surprisingly don't make her feel anything.
She already test her magic and skill on the ship random deckhands when she out of her room, she also suspect that she no longer have human emotion, this prove by her unfeeling on the deckhands and the fleets, that normally she will disgusted or horrifying yet she feel nothing. She also have feeling that her normal self is gone, this also prove by her vast new information suddenly cram into her head and lack of normal human emotion, sure she still could feel but that same feeling is different, like she now an undead vampire she no longer feel anything toward human, anything at all.
Now that her thought is sorted by her new mind power and capacity, she could think straight (somewhat straight). Now that shock is over, maybe, I start think about next step. I already send order on all admirals to raise alert level to maximum and scout 500 kilometer around the fleet on any sign of anything, now what next? Contact local and told them me and my fleet come from game? Ha ha no. while she think about the next step her and the fleets take. She struck by an idea.
"You now the NPCs now alive, that mean they could think" her train of thought make her feeling surprisingly giddy, she always imagine how the NPCs act when they alive and now she when they alive she could help but feeling giddy. "This will cut so much work from me".
She brought her right hand to her ear "[mass message] to all admirals of the fleet, except the 8 and 3 fleet, to gather on the throne room of the Black Death, now". With that she only have to wait. She already feeling nervous about this, the thought of she commanding an entire deth fleets with thousands ships is already make her stomach churn, she only 19 years old human girl(former) and now she expect to lead and entire army of undead? No thanks.
She think about home on her time alone on her rooms but found out she feel nothing toward them, not even the slightest shred of emotion. This should fear her, make her uneasy yet all she could feel are cold dead nothingness. She thought that this is her side effect on becoming tens of thousands years old vampire (according to the lore) but other than that she got nothing.
Even with her feeling somewhat alter, she still get cold feet whenever she think about leading the deth fleets. Alright girl, just what mother say stay calm, stay in control and never show weakness, see easy, I hope before she could ponder anymore the double open and come 7 figure marching toward her throne before kneeling low, Ahh they really look pretty, just like when Tridentred create them, whelp no retreating from here.
"All admirals except 8 fleet admiral forge, and 3 fleet admiral Cole present before you grand admirals, what are you order to us" the first figure say with smooth tone, he wear a smooth green and black suit that seem never being wear due to its pristine, he have long black hair that pass his shoulder blade, pale skin black and red eyes like her, he is Listmen, the overseer of all admirals of the fleets.
She only nod, she look at all the present admirals before her. The figure at Listmen right wear black robe with green trim over it edges and inside of the robe is nothing but darkness, but if you observe hard enough you notice the figure wear round glasses on its eyes. This is Richard, the admiral of the first and second fleet. Luthor never know are it a she or a he or even a unisex, but she really hope that what Tridentred says is not true, on second thought it probably is, considering who he is.
The figure next to it wear nothing on his upper chest he wear a blue coat over his and white trouser hold by red leather belt with five pointed star engrave on his belt buckle he wear nothing on his head expose his ashen blond hair and sky blue eyes with not too pale skin. He is Ricardo, the admiral of the fourth fleet, an elder doppelganger with the ability to mimic almost entire roster of monster from Yggdrasil.
On the far right kneel a girl clad in fancy white one piece dress (it even has frilly for god sake) and wear elbow glove with blood stain on it's, she also wear tiara silver on her head, she have pale white skin with snow white hair that reach her hip and blue eyes, unlike Ricardo her eyes are toward baby blue rather than sky blue. This is Lumia Luna, admiral of the fifth fleet and a level 100 dragonoid.
On left of Listmen is rather a slime type monster color green that ooze bumble it size was relative medium, only as wide as throne that Luther sit, on its head? Sit a rather peculiar statue of a golden lemur trying to eat watermelon, enough to say she rather think something else other than that. This is Bubbly, admiral of sixth fleet.
On its left a figure wearing blue armor that cover her entire body except her head, the armor itself shape just like the deth guard but with more smooth curve and posture, she have ash color hair with grey eyes and holding a halberd that right on the ground beside her. This is Crux, admiral of the seventh fleet.
Lastly on the far right is figure clad in 17 century British black and blue tater captain uniform are the ninth fleet admirals, Mirai. She have dark blue hair with green eyes and wear black, worn out tricorn hat. Out of all admirals Tridentred make her probably the most normal one. Considering the other personalities, it's like he try to make her as normal as possible, not that she mind it.
She nod "I believe each one of you know our situation right? If that so then tell me what situation of the fleets right now" it was mainly her way on saying tell me what the hell happen, it's not like they could object it if they are loyal as their setting prove them to be.
"Yes grand admiral. The situation are dire as right now, with the unknown water the fleets has been transported to and the possibilities of other world has put many crew member uneasy, or those who could still feel it" finish Listmen witch earning nod from her.
"How the scout doing? Any news about where in the seven sea we are?" she honestly hope they appear on land, if that it's probably easier to determine where they and direction of civilization, if there are any.
"Unfortunately my liege, the scout we send report seeing nothing but endless ocean as far as they could go"
"Not even a single ship?"
"No my liege"
Huh, that's odd usually even in the ancient world there would be ships crisscrossing the ocean, or I mistake that with other game? Whatever, there is situation raise and I need solution about it. While Luther think about the next step, the admiral can't help but glance toward her.
Listmen never question her order and her will, she is after all master of the deth fleets and his creator, the one who create the entire admirals of the fleets, Tridentred will him and all other to always loyal to her and her alone. But that never stop he having concern about her. The situation itself likely put pressure to the grand admiral but he have absolute believe that she will lead the deth fleets to glory once more and even more loot.
Lumia never really care about the internal politics of the deth fleets or the hierarchy of it, why care? She already an admiral herself. But that doesn't mean she will disobey order from grand admiral, the only thing that she will take seriously is her own desire, but even then loyalty to the grand admiral prevail. In all honesty she rather spend her time dozing and lazing around her flagship, the world could burn for all she care but if the grand admirals will it, it will be done. For the will of the grand admiral are the will of the fleet, and nothing will stop the fleets from achieving it.
Luther train of thought continue for a minute before she speak again "recall the scout, we moving the entire fleets at the same time. This situation force us to group up together until we found the mainland, until then we must move as one" is it thought? I think it better to split up myself her feeling of command quickly leave her as soon as those word, it already took all her wield power to not just curl up right now and screams.
"It shall be done grand admirals, where our direction?"
CRAP "er- North West from our position" she took random direction. She hope, she really hope that there is something on that direction if not she bone.
"It will be done" she nod before raise from her throne and say "remember death only purpose is to serve" after that she teleport to away. "*sigh* I really hope that my mother advice will carry me in this hell hole" Luther say before she collapse to her bed. And start to scream again, as she just let all the nervous and anxiety out.
(9Liiiiiiiineeeeee break0)
Meanwhile after Luther teleport out the admirals still kneel for a second before one of them stood out "man, what a person" Lumia say before the other admirals stood too.
"The instance gaze, like my soul is been searched thoroughly, she is befitting her title as master of the deth fleets" say Richard with gravelly voice, the tone it use like he been granted audience with its own creator, have almost worshiping hint.
"Meh, she just try to be in control of the situation" Lumia says unaware or doesn't care the tension on Listmen posture. Before it could go any further Ricardo cut in with his rough voice "that's not the tone you use to address the grand admiral sister, next time try to avoid it".
Lumia only shrug "whatever you sa'y mate, I going to my fleet now there are certain bed that call my name" with that she teleport out. Ricardo could only sight "that kid need to learn sooner or later"
"Well that why we have you here, to restraint her" say Mirai "without you only the grand admiral could order her, even though you control over her is shaky at best"
"If we done discussing Lumia attitude problem, which is should be just handle by throw her on the same room as Cole, I suggest we go back toward our fleet, we don't want to get leave behind are we. Especially if our dear 'normal' sister get left behind" Richard say. "Richard, shut up, nobody want your opinion on the matter" Mirai say.
"Oh, are the 'normal' sister trying to say that I should be quiet? You know that's impossible" the robe sway from light to left as like completing something hard "oh I know, why not you just have something unique about you, oh am sorry you can't"
"Richard I swear on Tridentred beard am going to skin you alive" Mirai say through gritted teeth. It has common knowledge of the fleets that Richard and Mirai always on each other throat, one because it's amusing to watch it younger sister reaction and the other because the constant jab and remark.
"enough, you two, we have more pressing matter why not you two just get back to your fleets?" say Listmen on professional tone that make Mirai even more frustrate.
"Ahh you no fun Listmen, just watch her squirm, it amusing I bet you enjoy it secretly do you?" says Richard before dodge left punch send by very irritated Mirai who look at Listmen then blush.
"Ha ha ha you too easy to read sister, if you want to bang your older brother just ask" jab Richard. Before Mirai could respond Listmen cough seriously.
"If you done teasing Mirai could you just take her to one of your 'cell' on your flagship" say Listmen in almost bored tone "if not then please calm down, we have more pressing issue than Mirai sexual behavior" this cause Richard to laughs and Mirai to blush before snapped by Ricardo caught.
"FINE I go" shout Mirai before teleport out following by chuckling Richard and bemused Ricardo looking disapprovingly toward his older brothers.
"*sigh* those two just" Listmen say while pitching his nose beneath his glasses "well in any case I bid you two farewell, I need to chart the course for the fleets if you need me I will be in crow castle" with that he teleport out, leaving bubbly and crux behind.
Silence descend as crux is most quiet of the admirals and bubbly is literally a pile of sentient slime, the deth guard also dint help considering they are mostly animated corpse golem program to smash any intruder and obey master of the deth fleets order. Eventually bubbly teleport out and shortly follow by crux, leaving the throne empty except the standing deth guards.

3 days later
Luther sit on her throne, her mind is already on full speed since day one. Most of her thought was being directed to the world they now reside, and the other directed toward the admirals. Just as she order she could feel the Black Death turn toward North West before speed up alongside the entire deth fleets, she must say the formation and timing of it is perfect on any angle she could think of, not that she need to judge them just base on their skill of fleet management and limited interaction on the past 3 days.
She must admit, feeling the entire fleets move not base on her hearing or eyes but from what she now dumbed 'magic sense' is very unsettling to say the least. But then again she did bind the entire deth fleets to her will, well according to the lore anyway which she suspect is become real too but she still have no way to prove it or disapprove it.
The past three day she spent either hole up on her lavish room (which she spent mostly screaming) or touring the entire length of the flagship accompany by either the sirens or Marty and practicing her magic and skill to test if she still have them all.
Her build are more focused on halberd melee, not magic like many other players. She still have her magic but it was mostly to either buff her and her ally or debuff her enemy. When she got title world devourer and change class to first vampire she notice she have three different magic at her back to call, blood magic, necromancer, and astromencer and found that her attack is very effective on PK other. Many other players considering this cheating but considering you could have up to six different magic at your arsenal if you have the right build she don't care either.
Also she discover that her magic and skill is transported with her too that's is incredibly convenient. Luther skill on halberd is as much powerful as zeraph (who by the way is former guild master of servant of paradise) skill on long sword-shield style. So imagine her surprise that she not just familiar with all of her weapon but also feel like she use them for a long time. "it definitely useful that I know how to use halberds, considering all my weapon are that type" she mumble while looking at the Eternal Deth on her lap, the blade itself, even though it may look have many sea exposure, still sharp as ever. On the base of it six jewel of divine class shone proudly, on the pike it seem to have been wrapped by many little coral that she know is there to cause maximum damage and inflict poison and bleeding.
She still unfamiliar with all of this, even though her body tell her that she doing this almost all the time. And that she know next to nothing on how to lead an entire fleets of warships.
But at least there some good news, like she do not need to eat, breath and even drink to survive, but for here she consider that more toward bad news, considering her wither humanity.
Right now she just wait until something happens, she already completed dozen contingency plan on dozen situation on her second day, and so on her third day she only could wait. And rather appreciate her guild weapon and the flagship in general.
The deth fleets move on sky at incredible speed, the smallest of them, use for scouting purpose is incredibly agile and quick. While on sea they will move at the speed of any sea faring vessel, on the sky they travel very vast covering distance that take normal ships day even weeks to get to under mare hours. Truly the deth fleets is indeed magnificent as much they are terrible, to Luther at least.
Luther musing cut short with sudden [massage] from Listmen "Listmen? What is it?"
"Apology for interrupting your day grand admiral, but I believe we have reached the mainland" that word enough to send Luther standing and use [gate] toward the crow castle atop the Black Death. When she arrive there Listmen already prepare for her and kneeling for her.
"Where?" that seem enough for Listmen as he immediately stood and open the window just next to her and present her a binocular. She just snatched it away and put it to use. Immediately she see it a towering mountain in the distance with snow cover peek and rocky slope cover in lush green forest, the forest continue to stretch and end at the grass field that seem to have a dirt road on it, just outside the cliff leading to the ocean.
Now Luther pretty sure that her that her eyes, even with the help of binocular, can't see that clearly to the point she could see each trees on the forest. Another perk of becoming vampire I guest as far as she could see it is a massive land or maybe continent if the mountain is any indication of it. Or maybe just really Tall Island she jokingly think to avoid the nervousness rising inside of her.
"Listmen stop the fleets and conceal it, tell the other admirals to meet me at Black Death throne room" with that she open [gate] and out, ignoring Listmen response.
At the throne room
Luther is once again sitting on her throne this time massaging her head with two of her hand, the Eternal Deth is left floating on her side. Now what to do? I can't possibly lead the deth fleets, I not even finish my education yet she already make plan for this, but saying it to bunch of possible murder-psycho is different than imagining it. I REALLY hope now that your leadership is in me mom, because I can't do this.
Before she could drown in her anxiety the throne room open and in the same figure as before. Right, get in character Luther, you now is a super powerful vampire pirate act like it, yeah nope and just as before they kneel in front of her. "I assume you all see it right?" a series of 'yes grand admiral' is her response.
"I will cut it and straight to the point, we have no idea of where we are. So with that I order you all to conceal the fleets with, I don't care if you use cloud or spell just conceal the damn thing" if to avoid massive panic and military response to a flying ghost ships "second I want the 600 km area of the fleets is scout using either [scurrying mirror] or scout ships. Lastly I want the road we found to be scouted as well, one do not leave road if it not lead to some sort of civilization" I hope.
"It will be done grand admiral"
"Good then, oh also do not, I repeat do not by any mean to reveal the fleets existing" she don't realize but she use her [dread mist] that manifest by dark mist rolling from her body "do I make myself clear?" the image is honestly scary if she could see it now but because she just want to get done with it she didn't realise it or don't care.
"Ye-yes grand admiral" Listmen could feel the pressure and dread she emit and from the other reaction it's no better. Lumia is trying her best to hold and not shake but one simply do not stand on front of the grand admiral while she emitting [dread mist]. Mirai is faring better, her limb still shaking a little but she got grip of her mind. Richard on the other hand might as well be in heaven.
Luthor only nod before teleporting out to her room. In her room she immediately lay on her bed and scream again. I can't take it ANYMORE for a 19 years old girl, seeing a bunch of powerful old person keeling and positively trembling is, just weird.
