Crimson Dust: Siblings

I look ahead of myself and ignore the ones around me. I already informed you about my nickname 'corpse'. Many of my class already call me that expect very few like Lan.

„Hey, Corpse? Why aren't you in your grave?" one boy smiles at me and laughs.

„Shouldn't you be rotting somewhere?" another inquires.

/I mustn't lose my concentration. If they realize I'm fazed they won't stop. I would have already killed myself if it weren't for the policeman who took care of me.../

They finally leave me alone when I arrive home. I turn on my laptop and write into the search list 'Devastion' but get no hits /If nothings in the internet... could he have lied? It's not like the internet knows everything though.../

I sigh and remember what happened. I did as Dictator rold me and informed the police but they only found his things. It seems he somehow managed to log out and fled.

/But Dictators smile back then.../ I shake my head violent /It's not the time to think about something like that!/

The Dictator of Life hardly leaves my mind these days and I lean back on my chair.

A lot of time passes and I managed to conquer all four main-citys of the shadow continent... They all capitulated because they heard of how we beat 200 players plus NPCs with just 24 people in total. Furthermore, the landlord of Infinite City seems to have returned.

„'You really going?" Idiot asks as he leans against the door.

„Yep. I want to see Infinite Citys landlord, plus, this provides a chance to test out my teleportion spell. Please tell Kaikishoku and Flower to meet me at the main-gate" I reply as I pass by him.

„Hmph!" he leaves without another word and I check my little surprise trap on the crystal.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

„You sure he's in the city?" Flower looks at me with a questioning gaze and I nod.

„But not only in the city" I say „In his castle"

The three (four if you count the cat) head towards the castle. Despite it being in the city there are guards.

„I'm Dust, the overlord of the shadow continent. I wish to see your lord!" I exclaim while trying to look confident.

One guard rushes in and comes back with a tall man „I'm Nan Gong Zui, please follow me"

We arrive at a hall and my three companions look around amazed. Zui runs ahead to inform his Lord of our presence. A blond haired youth comes up to me.

/Weird... I feel hatred being directed at me/ I close my eyes and smile „Greetings you must be Prince, Infinite Citys Landlord. I'm Dust, the overlord of the Shadow continent" I open my eyes to look at him... and stare into his.

„...L- lan? Aren't you Lan?" I ask in a wispher manner but it seems the redhaired thief heard it, I continue in a louder voice „YOU are Infinite Citys landlord?! But you're such a well-behaved kid! They call you Bloodelf, like you're a monster! You can't be the landlord!"

I take a step back in utter shock. I may only know her from school and the one time I came over to her but... this is definitly Lan.

„You know who Prince is in real life?" A girl asks with eager voice „Can you tell me his name and address?"

I sweatdrop and try to smile „S-sorry... That's something Prince should do..."

I am bombarded with many other questions and my head sstarts to spin. I've never been given this much attention!

„Stop!" Prince shouts „You're making her dizzy"

Everyone apologizes instantly and I say my thanks to Prince.

„Why are you here?" he wonders curious.

„I wanted to meet the landlord of Infinite City that I heard so much about. Never thought it would be someone like you..." I tell him with a face of sympathy.

Princes face currently seems to say 'What's with that look on your face?'

„A friend of yours, Prince?" Sunshine asks as he, Kenshin and Artic Fox come in.

Artic Fox looks up and I notice him staring at me. When I see him his face I freeze. My anger grows and I clutch my fist and teeth, stomping up to him.

„Hey... I want to ask something?" I look him into the eyes „Where... Were you?!"

I punch him into the face as hard as possible but he only lies on the ground and stares at the ceiling.

I cry as tears run down my cheeks „Answer me! Where were you?!"

He finally looks at me.

I start to cry loudly and he stands up and takes me into his arms, I hit him in the chest with my fists „You asshole! Why did you leave me alone?! You heartless, cold, disgusting, boring, stupid, incompetent-"

„Hey, stop insulting our comrade!" Several people shout.

„Brother!" I finish my assult.

Huh?!

Everyone who shouted at me stopped in their tracks, dots replaced their eyes. I continue to cry.

„...Eeeeehhhhh?!"
