Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

-----

Chaos continued his conversation with everyone for a while, learning more things.

​​

He had asked as much as he could about Jobs, but he only got the same information at the end. These villages of people that lived at the coast of this island all worshiped some kind of God, which they had done for generations, and it seemed to be the same for elves and dwarves.

But… how did these normal people come to be in this world of lawless villains and monsters?

"Well, we are the descendants of these criminals, pretty much," chuckled Natalia.

"Indeed, we all descend from slaves that managed to escape, space pirates that came to live here, and more… They all gathered here hundreds of years ago and made a few villages around this place. We had learned how to survive in these harsh lands, and we had pretty honest lives… Until the space pirates noticed us and enslaved us…" sighed Catherine.

Chaos also learned that the sea that surrounded the entire island was often named Abyssal Sea, Chaotic Tears, Miasma Sea, or sometimes Shadow Waves. It was a completely black sea, where terrifying monsters lurked around.

Edward showed Chaos a map he had been saving as a valuable item inherited from his grandfather, which showed him a map of the entire planet of Ginnungagap! Something that he had not seen yet, even Ainz didn't have one as detailed as this one, and Chaos had not read books yet because he was way too busy increasing his strength.

The world showed that there was this black sea, resembling a giant dot in the middle of the planet, where many tiny islands were. Alongside that, there were two gigantic continents, with the second sea named Void Sea, which was even deadlier than the Abyssal Sea…

Both poles were filled with ice, and the continents were named Ginnun and Gagap, very original.

The Ginnun Continent was a continent reigned by powerful Demons, and there were dozens of Demon Dynasties there, with many Demon Kings battling for supremacy, it was a continent filled with constant wars.

The Gagap Continent was the "wild continent" mostly filled with non-intelligent beasts of enormous strength, there were also legends about Gods falling here and forming a giant pit that led to a Divine Realm where godly treasures awaited the ones that explored its depths…

There were also large gatherings of spaceships within the map, showing the "citadels" that the lawless space pirates had made over the years, they were perhaps the ones with the greatest technology on the entire planet, but that place was filled with rotten people and corrupt people, and well, those places were where the many black markets were, selling all kinds of illegal goods, such as slaves.

"Hm, I see. So this place is actually quite safe compared to the big outside world," said Chaos, who quickly memorized the entire map in an instant.

"Kind of… but even this island is getting filled with space pirates, mostly the coast regions… Now that the old Elder Lich that lived here is gone, this place doesn't belong to anyone that every damn delinquent is getting here," sighed Natalia.

"Doesn't belong to anyone? This place is of my Lord Chaos, Half-Vampire, mind your manners!" said Belphegor, feeling a bit angered that someone so lowly didn't recognize the ownership of this place to Chaos.

"Uwah! S-Sorry! I didn't know!" cried Natalia, falling off her seat due to Belphegor's fire almost burning her.

"Belphegor, calm down, it wasn't anything bad, she simply didn't know," said Chaos.

"O-Oh… My apologies my lord," said Belphegor.

Abyss helped Natalia get up by extending a tentacle, which the half-vampire timidly grabbed and got up with, sitting once more.

"It seems impressive that you're the child of such a feared being as the Elder Lich Ainz… He was somewhat of our protector too, even if he saw us like ants, his mere presence in this island made it quite secure for our living, and he never bothered us," said Edward.

"Yeah, we even offered some prayers to him, even up until now. He was the ruthless guardian of our island," said Catherine.

"I see… So my Master Ainz unknowingly protected you. Well, then that makes you really my lord's servants then! So you can repay my master's help, you'll serve him with your lives, right?" asked Belphegor, as Chaos seemed enthusiastic.

"Erm… Yes! Of course! Actually, this place seems way better than the outside world. We would easily get eaten by the monsters roaming here… So we appreciate your protection," said Edward.

"Yeah, we lost everything so… It is not like we have somewhere to go. And anything is better than being the food stock of that Mindflayer, right?" asked Catherine.

"Indeed…"

"Yeah, I guess it is a good place."

"That's right, they even feed us…"

"We are grateful."

The people seemed to express their gratitude rather quickly, Edward and Catherine seemed to be innate leaders of the rest of the people, so Chaos had an easy time convincing the rest without using violence.

"Anyways, we can work in anything. I've seen that this place is quite rusty. I have the Job-House Maiden Skill because I used to clean my house a lot due to my ill mother. And I am fairly fine at cooking too," said Catherine.

"If you need a librarian or an alchemist I and my fellow elves can help, we are fairly good at investigating the unknown as well, we possess Jobs related to these things too," said Edward, as the other elves nodded, it seemed that they were all part of a family.

"Dwarves have a knack for crafting stuff and forging, so we can aid you in that too, young master. As long as there is booze we don't need any other pay!" said a red-haired bearded dwarf man named Gradiz. He also had Jobs related to Crafting and Forging.

"And I could help you out at cleaning too I guess. Though I might also be of use as a spy or at fighting… Although I would need to develop my powers a lot," said Natalia.

"I see… All of you should be useful," said Chaos.
