As I stood there remembering my past the man in black armour standing in front of me took notice of my reaction and seemed to think he knew exactly what it was I was thinking

 

"That's right I was the goblin that you took over all those years ago"

 

"!?" I didn't even think about that possibility yet I just assumed when he said he was a goblin that he was one of the ones barricaded in that room but if what he said was true then that means my consciousness was in his body and in a different world at the same time how was that even possible I had no idea. Right as I was trying to wrap my head around it however he began to speak again

 

And in a low tone he said "I was conscious that whole time you know"

 

"R-Really" I replied feeling both shocked and a little guilty

 

"Yeah at first I was scared I didn't know what was happening I wanted to move my body but I couldn't being forced to sit back and watch as an unknown force moved me around like a puppet"

 

This wasn't good the atmosphere completely changed again and as he continued to tell me what he experienced I felt more and more uncomfortable

 

"I see I didn't know that" I said apologetic

 

"Yes well although I hated it at first once that hero and his party attacked and you grabbed a weapon to defend us I knew that you were something good and even after you were the only one left you stood strong and faced the hero managing to kill him skilfully and with little effort"

 

Was he really conscious for that? I struggled through the entire thing I only won because I picked up on a few things and got extremely lucky there wasn't any skill involved it was completely situational

 

He continued to ramble on "And after you beat him I heard a voice in my head telling me It was up to me now and when I asked who said that it responded with one word Adam"

 

Hang on I heard a voice too after beating him so then this guy wasn't the voice I heard so then who was? And why was it claiming to be me I didn't know and I couldn't talk to this guy about it since if I stray to far from the person he sees me as I don't know what he'd do

 

"See that's how I knew you were looking out for me right as you appeared we were attacked and you saved us I knew that couldn't be a coincidence and right after you left I evolved thanks to my body being the one to kill the hero and I ended up gaining his power thanks to you"

 

"Yeah your welcome" I said trying to come off like that was my plan all along

 

"So then why do you want to fight me" I added

 

He then looked at me seeming to realize he was getting distracted "Right sorry" he then started to explain what exactly happened while I was gone

 

"You see after you left my body and I fought off the remaining attackers I ended up meeting people who saw my potential and with their help I started my own empire and currently I have control of almost 70% of the world only a few major enemy cities and kingdoms remain"

 

I then interrupted him wanting to clear up a thought I had "Hang on so you managed to do all this in just over two years" I asked confused

 

He then looked at me a little puzzled "No that would be impossible due to the enemy's resources its actually taken twenty years to get to this point"

 

That made me freeze twenty years how the hell was that possible does time really work that differently between our worlds

 

"So when you say years you mean 365 days in a year right?" I asked clueless

 

"Yes" he replied

 

"I see go on then" I said while trying to act calm

 

So if we count our years the same then that means that this worlds time moves 10 times faster than mine but how does that work then wouldn't this world be way more advanced then mine then I didn't know id have to actively go find the answer if I wanted to know

 

He then continued "Right so like I was saying I've gotten to the point where its just a matter of time before I've won the war and there's no one else who can best me in a fight so before I get there I wanted to best the only one who's overpowered me which would be you"

 

What the hell kind of logic was that I'm too op now so I wanted to fight the guy who possessed my body when I was a little weak goblin why would he think that I'm up for that especially after looking at me this man was delusional and I had to get out of this

 

"I see so when and where exactly were you thinking"

 

I wanted to try and by as much time as I could so I could think of a way to escape but I couldn't do that if we kept this conversation going on forever

 

He then looked at me excited "well I wanted to get this done as quickly as possible so then I didn't continue to inconvenience you as much but since it's a fight to the death I need to sort out a few things in case I lose so we'll probably need to wait a few hours is that okay with you" he asked

 

"Yeah sure a few hours is noth… wait a second WHAT!"

 

I was taken back by this I didn't realize at first since he said it so casually but he just said fight to the death what the hell

 

"Um why is it a fight to the death" I asked trying to stay as calm as possible

 

It's not like I planned to stick around for the fight but if I didn't end up escaping at least I could still maybe get out of it somehow but with a fight to the death that eliminated all possibility of me leaving here with my life

 

He then answered "Oh well you see at first I wanted to just have a normal brawl but then I realised if I lost I wouldn't be able to live with myself knowing That I missed my chance at fighting and winning against a worthy opponent knowing id never be able to challenge you again due to the shame so I decided that it'd be better if I died if I lost"

 

"I-I see so then if you lose you die but if I lose I just go back to my world then"

 

"No if you lose you die too it wouldn't be fair otherwise" he replied

 

What the hell how selfish can you be bringing me here without warning and challenging me to a fight to the death for your own selfishness even if I could put up a fight its not like that makes it fine but I couldn't lose my cool I was a little anxious but I had to try and make it seem like it wasn't a big deal

 

"Okay so we'll fight in a few hours then I look forward to it"

 

"Haha I'm glad well then since we're both onboard ill get someone to escort you to a guest room while you wait" He said filled with excitement

 

He then lifted his left arm signalling someone from the crowd while calling them by name "Dolan" who I assumed was the one who was supposed to show me to my room

 

After this the man who I assumed was Dolan walked forward emerging from the crowd and headed towards us he was wearing silver armour from shoulder to toe with a white cloak round him he also had neck length jet black hair along with crimson red eyes

 

Behind him were two young girls looking to be in their late teens one was about a head shorter then the other with long brown hair and purple eyes while the other one was about half a head shorter then me and had short black hair with crimson eyes similar to Dolan's and were both dressed in brown robes

 

To be honest I didn't want to know who they were to him thinking it could only be bad he then started to speak

 

"Yes my Lord how may I be of service" he said in a polite tone

 

"Dolan I need you to escort my guest Adam to the guest room that's closest to your chamber while I prepare for the fight"

 

"It shall be done my Lord" he replied not losing his respectful tone

 

"Great well then ill see you during the fight then Adam" he said joyfully

 

"Right see you then" I said while smiling trying to reassure him

 

"Okay then if you'd kindly follow me sir Adam" Dolan said while walking towards the exit

 

"Yeah sure" I replied

 

We then left the throne room and headed down the hallway Dolan stood in front of me while the two girls stood behind me ruining any chance of me sneaking off while he was distracted he then began to speak to me as we turned the corner

 

"So your Adam then you know after all these years of knowing my Lord I only recently started hearing about you he's kept it secret from me up until last month that is when he asked me to gather an ingredient for the spell required to bring you here"

 

"Really and how long have you known him" I replied

 

This was perfect he was voluntarily giving me information if I can get him to trust me a little I can steer the conversation into a direction that gives me some useful information

 

"Oh id say just over nineteen years ago I was one of his first generals you see" he looked back at me smiling as he said this

 

"O-Oh I see sorry I didn't realize you were a general since he asked you to be the one to escort me" I replied a little surprised

 

"But of course my Lord wouldn't give a job like this to just anyone escorting an extremely powerful demon that is said to rival him in power to his room?" he said seemingly shocked that I asked this question

 

"R-Right that's true so if you don't mind me asking what exactly did he send you to grab must have been important if he sent you" I said trying to get on his good side

 

We then turned another corner and continued walking down another long hallway

 

He then replied with an eccentric tone "Hmm I didn't take you for the type to ask a question like that but I shall answer anyway since it is you who asked sir Adam"

 

He then continued "I was sent by my Lord to collect a purple flower from on top of the mountain of the sky dragon Izorn"

 

"Izorn?" I asked curious

 

"Yes he is the dragon that rules the skies or at least he used to until one day centuries ago he was slain by the hero at the time and his party in order to feed an entire town that was plagued by famine" he said with an over the top voice

 

"Seems a little extreme to go kill an all powerful dragon just to feed a town wasn't there any other options?"

 

"There were but the hero saw it as the easiest solution since he had the power to kill him and Izorn was large enough to feed everyone there" he replied

 

"Damn kind of makes you feel bad for him"

 

"Don't worry my friend Izorn got his revenge" he said with a reassuring tone

 

"What do you mean?" I asked puzzled

 

"You see after the hero killed Izorn and fed his corpse to the towns people the sky became corrupt and was shrouded in constant darkness completely blocking the sun all around that town and surrounding area and the smell of the dead dragon lured dangerous beasts to the location making it so now only strong races or veteran warriors can live there"

 

"I-I see"

 

"Yes and because of that constant shade most plants could no longer grow so many ended up evolving to fit the climate one of these were the purple flowers on top of the late kings mountain which I was sent to get" he replied confidently

 

We then turned another corner but as we did Dolan started to slow down and eventually stopped in front of one of the doors before facing me

 

"Okay sir this will be your room while you wait for my Lord to finish with his business if you need anything my chambers on the opposite side and ill leave one of my servants outside your door as well just in case"

 

He then pushed the door open with his left hand and gestured with his right telling me to walk inside when I did I got a good look at the room It had fancy white walls decorated with a variety of paintings one of them being a portrait of the King fighting off an important looking man with a sword I kind of wanted to ask who it was he was fighting but I figured the sooner I was alone the better so that I could think of a way out

 

"Okay well thanks for showing me my way I'm all good now thanks" I said in a positive voice

 

"Terrific sir I'm glad but is it okay if I ask you a question before I leave?"

 

"Sure" I responded not thinking much into it

 

"Are you actually a human and not really a demon?"

 

I hesitated after hearing that "I'm sorry what makes you think that?"

 

"You see sir although I've only known about you for a month my lord had described you in enough detail for anyone to think that you were someone very mighty maybe even god like but after seeing you myself the way you've been behaving makes me think your just some human brat that's way over his head" he replied coldly

 

This was bad he kept putting pressure on me and I had no way to counter he clearly had a brain and picked up on all my mistakes while speaking to the king I didn't know what to do or what to say but I knew I couldn't let him keep going on like he was

 

"Excuse me but I would appreciate it if you didn't use that tone with me or accuse me of being something I'm not so would you mind apologizing before I get mad" I replied with an angry tone trying to get him to back off

 

"My my sir I didn't realize you had such backbone Id honestly be shaking right now if I didn't already know you were lying" he said confidently

 

Crap he called my bluff he then began to walk closer towards me while showing a sinister smile

 

" You see sir I may look human but I'm not I'm actually a vampire and we vampires have excellent hearing so good in fact that we can hear someone's heart beat from up to ten metres away when we focus and are even able to tell when someone's lying by the sound their heart makes while doing so

 

"R-Really" I responded a little nervous

 

He then got face to face with me and leaned down so his head was right next to my neck

 

"But you see I didn't even need to use that to know you were lying because I know quite a bit about demons and did you know that a demons heart beats in a completely different way then humans" he whispered

 

"N-No I di...!?"

 

Suddenly he attacked me and I could feel two sharp objects stab into my neck I couldn't believe it he was sucking my blood I couldn't really describe the feeling it hurt but it was a pain I never experienced before in my life it also had a slight numbing feeling after a while he then began to pull my pants down as he continued to suck out my blood freaking me out even more WHAT THE HELL? WAS HE DOING WHAT I THOUGHT HE WAS?

 

I started to freak out I couldn't breathe I was genuinely scared knowing I had no control on what was about to happen when suddenly I heard a voice

 

"Excuse me sir but is that really wise"

 

He then took his fangs out of my neck and looked at the source of the voice it was one of his servants the girl with the short black hair he looked at her puzzled and annoyed for a second before responding

 

"What do you mean? This is my first time with a human from another world why are you trying to spoil my fun?" he replied playfully

 

She then responded "Even if you have this chance sooner or later he'll meet with the king and if he finds out about what you did whether he believes that he's human or not he'll kill you" she stated coldly

 

"But he won't find out this humans too weak willed to say anything and we can heal the scar I leave when sucking his blood"

 

"Are you really going to take that chance though I thought you to be more careful then that even if there was a slight chance of something going wrong you wouldn't go down that route was what I thought"

 

He then looked at her with a smile before looking back at me he then put his hand over my neck and emitted a yellow light before removing it and heading towards the door

 

"Thank you for being so concerned about me my sweet little flower I let myself get a little too exited and couldn't seem to help myself" he said as he stroked her by the chin

 

He then turned around to look back at me as I was recovering trying not to cry and give him the satisfaction

 

"Now then sir hopefully you can forgive me for my little slip up I guess we can call it even now with me sucking a little blood and you lying to my king hm I even healed your wound" he said mockingly

 

"But if you do tell the king what just happened here I cant guarantee your safety from me or my subordinates" he added his tone much colder

 

He then walked out the door with his two servants and headed to his own chamber to do who knows what leaving me alone in my room still on the floor fixing my pants I couldn't help but sigh in relief knowing that I just dodged a massive bullet

 

I then wiped my tears and stood up I then walked over to the bed and sat down I was fuming I had to clench my fists as a way to cope with the rage I felt and all I could think about was doing three things first think of a way to escape second find a way home and third figure out a way to kill that bastard before I leave
