How To Be A Demon lord: The Former Hero's Journey As A Demon Lord!

There was a town named Duranel in the western part of Rivalle. It was a large town filled with almost a thousand people living there! The town was located near a river and it had a large land for farming, so it was a very good place for people to live! But lately, people began disappearing for some reason! They weren't being taken by the demon army since the demon army doesn't kidnap people secretly. The demon army openly kills and abducts everyone in the town and takes over the town! That means that there is some other mysterious force that has been taking the humans all this while!

The mayor of the town was in a state of despair! He didn't know what to do about his town! He knew that the demon army was on its way already! It was no longer news to the people that the demon lord was back and he was killing everyone in all the towns around this western part of Rivalle!

That sort of pressure isn't little! Their town doesn't have a guild and it doesn't even have any wandering adventurers that would help them! They were all farmers and local traders here! And now they also had the issue of people disappearing!? What sort of nonsense is this!? Why should just start disappearing like that!? The mayor was sure that they didn't just run away! All of their belongings and even their money were still in the town! Why would you run away without any money or even your belongings?

The mayor knew someone was kidnapping them and he decided that he was done with this town! The mayor had a wife and two daughters and he already sent them out of the town two days ago! He didn't know when the demon army would get here and the people of the town were already protesting in anger as they tried to make him protect them! They wanted him to hire adventurers that would be able to protect them from the demons! They knew it would be expensive but they were saying he should use their tax money as the payment! Ha! Tax money!? What's that!? Don't you mean my pension!? I've never even intended to use that money for you from the very beginning!

The mayor was going to leave the town today to go and meet his wife and daughters in the neighboring town. He received a letter from them just this morning and they told him that the neighboring town was still safe from the demon army. They also asked him some questions about the town and how it was doing. Some of the questions were a bit suspicious, but he didn't even care about that! Maybe his daughters were just playing around!

The mayor packed up his things that night and he quickly grabbed a horse and mounted it! The mayor was a large man with a bulging stomach and it took a bit of effort for him to climb the horse, but he finally managed to get on top of it and he rode into the night! He will Bever have to see this stupid town again after today! He already took all his pension money and the town can burn to hell for all he cares!

The mayor rode out of the town and into the night. He sent a reply to his family just yesterday and they said they will be waiting for him along the road with a carriage so they can all run away together. If they go quickly enough they will be able to make it to the ocean and sail to Aquinas in two days!

When the mayor got to the spot where he said he would be meeting with his family, he came down from the horse and looked around. The area was a little dark, but he could see a shape of a human in the distance. He looked closer and he saw that it was his wife! He immediately waved to her and she waved back as well before she started to come closer! She still looked as beautiful as ever! Her brown hair and rosy lips were the complete opposite no his own white hair and chapped lips! He always wondered his he married someone so beautiful.

"Ah, you came. I didn't think you would make it before the demons got there..."

The mayor immediately realized that something was wrong. The way she was talking was completely wrong! She didn't sound like his wife at all! She sounds empty. And why are her eyes red? Did she do something to her eyes? The mayor shook his head. Does it matter!? He just needs to leave with her. They can talk about all of this later.

"Honey, where are the children. We need to leave before the town finds out we are gone!"

Thud! Thud!

Two bodies suddenly landed on the ground beside his wife and the mayor felt his heart rate spike to unsafe levels! Those were his daughters! They are dead! What happens to them! Their bodies are white and it's like all the blood has been sucked out of them! Wait.. blood? Vampires!!

"It's so nice to see that realization on your face. It's like an elixir for me. Knowing that you've realized how hopeless and helpless you truly are in this situation,"

Another voice suddenly spoke up before an extremely gorgeous man walked up from behind the mayor's wife and put his head on her shoulder. Dracula gave the mayor a toothy grin.

Imagine Dracula's surprise when he was raiding the previous town and found out that one of the women there was the wife of a mayor. Of course, Dracula couldn't let an opportunity like this go! He made her send a letter to her husband asking about the situation in the town. Dracula didn't need her to do all that, but he just wanted to experience this moment. When someone sees that their life is absolutely and irrevocably over! It was the best feeling a vampire could get!

The mayor fell to his arse and he started to release terrified gaps from the back of his throat! He then felt his throat constrict as Dracula released the [Mesmerize] from his wife and then sank his teeth deep into her neck! His wife screamed in pain and fear and the mayor closed his eyes and curled in himself! This is unfair! What sort of monsters lived in this world!? He didn't even think of fighting because he knew he would lose!

Dracula didn't stop till the woman stopped screaming. When she died, he then threw her body to the ground to join her daughters. He waved a hand towards the mayor and two vampires that were hiding in the shadows immediately jumped at him! Dracula walked to the horse and took a look at the money there. It was too much money for just a mayor to have. Did the man steal all the money from his townspeople? Ha. Those poor, sad, soon-to-be-dead, fuckers.

"Get rid of the body and tell the army to advance to the town. Were going to finish this one tonight and move to the next one as soon as possible,"

The two vampires cleaned their mouths of the blood and then they nodded before transforming into bats and flying off! Dracula watched the town from the cliff as his army advanced towards it! This was the twentieth town in the past two weeks and they should be able to finish three more towns tomorrow.
