The Great Demon System-Novel

Chapter 279: Alucard, Lord of Vampires

Moby slowly opened his eyes feeling unusually refreshed. It had already been a few days since he and the others went to the amusement park and school was finally starting back up the next day.

It was 7:00 am and he had a lot planned, so, after he finished his regular morning routine, he immediately left the room and went to go meet a certain person.

Of course, he was invited in, and immediately headed to the crimson door of the mansion that he was now all too familiar with.

When he walked in the room, he witnessed the sight he always saw, but this time, Abby was simply lying down in bed with a blank expression, staring at the ceiling above.

"Hey! Abby! Are you awake!?"

"Oh-o-o! Hello Moby! I didn't know you would be here so early today…"

She slowly sat back up and faced him with a small smile.

Over the past few days, he had come to visit her every day, and although she did not recover, he was certain she was getting at least slightly better every time he came. But, today seemed different.

"Are you good? Is something bothering you? I brought you some of your favourite candy if you want…"

Abby simply looked down with a smile on her face and responded, unlike her usual self.

"No… I'm really fine, I'm just really tired this early in the morning… But! I would love to have that candy!"

As if she flipped a switch, her expression completely changed and caught Moby off guard.

"Okay! Here you go!"

He pulled out a box of chocolates from his inventory and laid it on her lap before walking away since she knew she wanted him to always keep his distance. They still play video games on the complete opposite sides of the couch after all.

With mellow star-like eyes, she opened the box up and began slowly eating the chocolates instead of going crazy on them like Moby expected.

Moby had first decided to ease what he was about to do by playing some games with her, but he now decided that it was a perfect time instead to do what he wanted to do.

"Hey… Abby… Do you like stories?"

He asked, making her look at him and slowly nod, her mouth still chewing.

"Good… This is a story from someone you actually knew and loved… A story of his past and what he wanted to do in the future, along with a message for the one he loved."

Suddenly, Abby stopped eating as she looked at Moby with intent, watching him pull out a piece of paper that she felt had an odd aura exuding from it, an aura drawing her in.

She continued eating the chocolate more slowly, as she listened to Moby speak with her ears wide open.

"Greetings friends, if you are reading this then I have probably already passed… "

"I was planning on sharing this all with you sooner or later but it seems like I never got the chance to and we were ripped apart far too soon by the whims of fate."

"For the last 2 weeks I knew this girl, it had been the best weeks of my life, it felt short but long at the same time. We didn't even get to kiss… Guess I wasn't man enough to take the first step and I will probably regret it to the grave. But oh well… Maybe in the after-life…"

"I was born with a heart disease…"

*****************************************

"And, Abby's heart was also unnaturally pure and innocent with also little to no distortion which might be the reason I fell for her since she was better than any girl I've seen before."

"Anyways, that's all I wanted you to know… I know this corrupted light in the heart sucking invisible dust into the sky seems really hard to believe so take of it what you will, I just wanted you to know it and I hope it helps you! Maybe you can uncover something that even I didn't!"

"Sincerely, the dead man that hopefully accomplished something with his death and brought happiness to others."

"smiley face,"

Moby took a deep breath reading what he just read, it was his second time doing so but it nearly hit him just as hard as the first time as he barely suppressed his tears from leaking out.

He had not mentioned himself, Ray, or Jayden at all and blanked out all the names mentioned for a very specific reason.

He slowly lifted his head and spoke.

"So… Do you know who wrote this letter and who was the girl that writer fell in love with?"

However, when he looked up he witnessed a sight he never thought he would see.

It was Abby's face, half of it completely dry and the other half of it crying profusely, the tears dropping on the sheets of her bed.

"Moby… Help… Why am I crying? This all sounds so familiar yet so foreign to me… It's breaking me apart… Please help… I don't know what's happening… I'm scared…"

Abby curled up into a ball, rocking back and forth like a scared little child.

With caring eyes, Moby slowly stood up from his seat and gently approached her, only for her to scoot back until she fell off her bed in fear, her back completely on the wall.

"I was just trying to help…" Moby murmured with his hands out, inwardly cursing at himself.

"N-no-no… I-I know you're trying to help… B-but I just can't… I just can't do it… I'm sorry…"

It was a disaster, things were going even worse than he ever expected… It made things worse instead of better and added confusion onto her own existence.

He wanted to tell her that the girl was her and the one who wrote the letter was Alex, but he was scared that she would deny it and end up thrusting her deeper into her own madness.

He felt so useless, looking at this scared little girl crying from one eye next to a wall.

That was when suddenly, a black smoke emerged from all around her, forming the figure of a man, his skin completely pale, his eyes blood red, his hair pitch black with subtle hints of fangs under his mouth.

"Alucard!?" Moby blurted out instantly without thinking.

Alucard took a small glance at Moby and smiled brightly before redirecting his gaze towards Abby, his entire existence exuding both power and elegance.

"My lady, don't cry… That was simply a letter from this boy Alex, the one that used to inhabit this body and the girl he so deeply loved was you, my lady! Be happy! Your dead friend deeply loved you so much that he let out his feelings for you on paper and even sacrificed himself for your sake! And, how are you honouring that sacrifice? By denying his death, it is the same thing as spitting on his legacy! You are wasting the life he had given to you!"

Like he was a big teddy bear, Abby hugged Alucard tightly.

"Alex! I told you to stop saying that! You're here with me! You promised you'd be with me and here you are! You're the only one who did! So did you write that letter for me!?"

Alucard hugged his grieving master back, playing with her long crimson hair to calm her down.

"My lady… I have already told you… I am not Alex, I am vampire lord Alucard. Your friend Alex is dead. He is no more. I was not the one who wrote that letter, Alex did. And he is still with you, deep in your heart somewhere. That's why you were crying without you even knowing!"

"Alex! You're so cruel! You always take your jokes way too far! What you say can't be real okay! It can't be! TH-"

*Gaww…*

Abby began hitting onto Alucard's chest like a child throwing a tantrum, the tears still falling down her eyes before she was hit with a chop to the neck, knocking her out.

"I'm sorry mistress, but this was for your own good,"

He held her up like a princess and placed her back onto her bed with a smile before redirecting himself towards Moby, quickly taking a knee.

"You must be the new demon lord candidate! It is an absolute honour to meet you! I am sorry for my earlier disrespect! I am Alucard, a simple vampire lord way beneath your stature. I am the strongest soldier in the undead army of the sin of pride, Shadar Ball previously under her majesty the great demon lord Avilia Graymore. And now, my spirit has been reborn in this new life under Abby Reid. It is truly an honour to serve you once again,"

Moby was taken back by the impeccable etiquette of the vampire in front of him, but not only that, but also by how he was even able to attack and knock out his own master despite him being a servant. But, he seemed to have done it for Abby's sake. Moby just hoped that she would wake up feeling better and calmer than before.

"It is an honour to meet you too lord of vampires, Alucard! I am Moby Kane! As you might be able to tell, Avilia and I have many questions to ask you. May we go to the garden?"

"Why certainly, my lord,"

They both calmly marched out of the room and sat down cross-legged on the warm grass which Alucard at first rejected since he did not want to put himself at the same level as Moby. But, after some insisting, he finally gave in.

"Close your eyes Alucard and begin meditating,"

"Understood," He responded with no hesitation.

'Avilia… The rest is up to you…' Moby spoke, closing his eyes as he heard a faint response, before once again opening them.

There he saw himself in a deep, seemingly endless void floating in the air, white mist underneath his feet. And, in front of him, he witnessed two figures, a beautiful white and purple-haired demon woman with curves all in the right spot, her arms crossed with a serious expression on her face that he later recognized as Avilia who was wearing the same armour as he saw her in before.

And, the other man was Alucard, exactly like he was when they first met. He was glad that it worked, he had used up a decent amount of XP for this to even happen.

"So Alucard… You have clearly died and been reborn… What killed you? What happened to the nether realm? And what happened to Shadar?"

Moby had never seen Avilia talk in such a tone in a very long time— she was far more serious, completely unlike her normal outgoing self. But now that he thought about it, other than that shalker, it was his first-ever time seeing her talk to someone other than him.

Did she not talk like how she talks to him for everyone? Was he somehow special or was this just a special situation?

To Moby, Avilia's resolve and passion were more than clear on her face as she did not even notice him entering the space and focused solely on Alucard who had slowly begun to open his eyes.
