Blood Heroes

Deimos Cornerstone, now the head of the disgraced Cornerstone vampire clan, with no servants or citizens, was sent to take care of a wasteland next to the corrupted battlefields under the guise of rewarding him after being appointed as a sanguine lord. After eight years and under the threat of annihilation, Deimos is forced to spend his clan's last chance to buy some time and with the help of the planar guardian Abaddon, he now must travel to another world to recruit servants to fight for him and bring his clan back to its past glory while helping Abaddon to regain his sealed power. This is his story of Deimos and his players as they try to get stronger, explore unknown lands and do a lot of strange things in the process without knowing that his actions may affect the destiny of that world and maybe theirs too… --------- English's not my first language, so if you see any grammar errors, blame the translator (that it keeps being me, so don't do it), and don't hesitate to put your suggestions in the comments.

Training session

Deimos was in the room on the second floor of the fortress next to Yun which was stretching trying to get used to the body that Abaddon created for her.

"How you feel?"

"Weak ... Even if I don't feel any discomfort in this... 'Avatar' or whatever it's called, it's too weak compared to my real body."

Hearing that Deimos nodded and explained that since the player's avatars are based on the best physical condition of a human in their world, it is not strange that she feels that way.

"For now, get used to it, in the next few days you will be able to regain your strength little by little.

"I hope so"

"Will you be able to fulfill what I asked you with that body? "

"No problem lord even in this weakened state, my skills are enough to kill them all"

Nodding, Deimos looked out the window and seeing that it was already past noon he told Yun that it was time to introduce her to the players.

"And remember, try not to kill them all"

After that they left the fortress towards the eastern part of the palisade where they could see almost all the players, feeling their enthusiasm after reaching the fields that would serve as a training place, Deimos looked at the players and internally sighing he began his speech while releasing a bit of pressure to prevent the players from getting to close.

"Heroes from another world, thank you for coming with such brief news, as you know, the forces of chaos are approaching and we need to strengthen ourselves quickly to face them, so from today you will learn advanced fighting tactics and how to stand firm even at a disadvantage"

Having gotten the players' attention, Deimos nodded and continued

"She is Yun, she will train all of you so be ready heroes, because this will be hard as we have no more options"

After that, he pointed at Yun who, knowing what Deimos was referring to, took a step forward, and removing the hood of her cloak, she looked at the players with a calm and emotionless expression.

"An elf, she is truly an elf."

"I told you that they couldn't put an elf with those clothes"

"But my silk stockings ..."

"Be satisfied with seeing her legs, from what I see they went with a short pant, a shame that the cloak does not allow us to see the rest of her clothing"

"She looks more delicate than I thought for someone in charge of training us"

Knowing that he had aroused the interest of the players, Deimos continued with his speech explaining to the players how only those that Yun considers suitable can receive the best weapons they currently have.

Not wanting to spend more of their training time, Deimos took a step back whispering to Yun that now it was her turn and that he would go to patrol the surroundings, to which after nodding and seeing the players regain mobility Yun took a deep breath and began to shout at them.

"Given your ineptitude, I have been forced to come to this place to teach you how not to stab yourself so I will only say it once"

Looking at the confused faces of the players Yun continued.

"If you complain I will kill you, if you surrender I will kill you, and if you do not meet my expectations ..."

"You will kill us, yes, we know-"

Said a player who before he managed to finish his sentence, was stabbed with a knife in his forehead falling to his knees and surprising the players around him who looked at Yun.

"Also if you interrupt me I'll kill you, any questions?"

Hearing this, the players looked at each other and after a few seconds severa of them began to speak dissatisfied and others a little too excited.

"How can she act like this?"

"Don't worry, it's just a game"

"Don't bother, she's just jealous because the members of her party left her to come to see the new trainer."

"I wonder what kind of training she will give us?"

"I just hope it doesn't make us run and jump"

"How can she tell us that we are incompetents since we have already been able to kill even some spiders?"

"Maybe it's her personality or that we have a negative favorability"

Hearing the players complain, Yun smiled slightly and continued speaking.

"I can see that many of you are dissatisfied with me, but you will soon see what I mean… your girl."

Yun said while pointing her finger at Strawberry

"Are you saying how can I say that you all are incompetents even after killing some pests in the surroundings?"

Surprised by the NPC's ability to interact, Strawberry was momentarily speechless before replying that it was true

"That is exactly why you're incompetents, if you have had such a hard time killing a couple of monsters in the vicinity, you better not bother leaving the city and losing our little equipment"

This confused the players who asked her what their equipment had to do with all of that.

"What has to do with this? In case you have not noticed, we are isolated, without allies or a way to manufacture more equipment and the equipment that we have at our disposal is not infinite, your girl, just tell me how many weapons you have lost up to this day"

"... five…"

"And you say you all are not incompetents, tell me, at this rate how long do you think our arsenal will hold before it gets empty?"

Annoyed by Yun's words, Strawberry told her that it was not the players' fault, but rather because the weapons were of a horrible quality to which Yun simply laughed for a moment before looking at her and pulling out a rusty dagger that she had prepared

"Is the problem with the weapon? Really? What you say are nothing more than excuses that will not help you in battle "

Seeing that the players did not understand what she meant, Yun threw the dagger into the wall of the fortress embedding it in it, leaving the players surprised by Yun's strength.

Seeing that no one said anything, Yun stepped forward, and taking the rusty dagger out of the wall she threw it at Strawberry's feet, who, surprised by the dagger that was heading in her direction, fell on her back seeing the dagger land at her feet.

"You see, it's not the weapon, it's you"

"..."

"Also, who was the one who told you that you should carry the weapons as they were given to you in battle, you could clean and sharpen them, perhaps that way they would last longer, although it would be useless if you end up dying ... so if you already understood your ineptitude and want to do something to change it, follow me "

The new trainer is not an elf, but a demoness in disguise - Anonymous

How is it possible that the developers put an NPC with such cruel behavior ... Did someone complete any of the missions? I don't think I will connect for a couple of hours, I still feel a bit dizzy from how many times I rolled on the ground.

---------

1- [I feel your pain OP]

2- [I only managed to last 20 minutes]

3- [How does she expect us to survive if she makes us run in the middle of nowhere without equipment]

4- [2- You were lucky, after the hour he made us fight hand to hand with the undead]

5- [I would have liked if she had at least give us some advice]

6- [3- At least she let us keep our clothes]

7- [I think I will have nightmares from now on about the rivers]

8- [7- Why do you say that?]

9- [8 - He says that because after the two hours mark, the few that we managed to hold on to were given back our equipment.

You may think it's a good thing but after that, she threw us into the river and made us swim for 30 minutes.

In the end, more than one got stuck in the mud at the bottom of the river...]

10- [A pity that there was no opportunity for us to gain the honor of being stepped on by her]

11- [10- ...]

12- [10- ...]

13- [10- ...]

Seeing the comments on the forums Deimos looked at Yun who was in her room in the fortress and after sighing he spoke.

"Could you explain to me why this happened?"

Confused by Deimos's sudden question, Yun asked what he was referring to, which Deimos simply answered by making the window where he was reading the forums visible.

"I mean this, I told you to train them, not to slaughter them"

"And that's what I've been doing"

"What kind of training is that?"

"Running non-stop for 10 kilometers, after that fighting hand to hand naked among them, from what I could see humans care too much about their appearance so I allowed them to keep their clothes and since they have barely any experience I use the undead instead of making them fight each other "

"After that I made them run a race to the river where the slowest were removed and after that, it was an endurance test while swimming against the river"

"In the end, I was supposed to make them fight against each other once more time while I told them their weak points and then fight against me, but there were only 3 left who end up dying of exhaustion after leaving the river"

"I repeat, what kind of training is that?"

"It is the one that I along with others did in the Butterflap domains, it has the objective of filtering the talents of the incompetents"

"... {sigh} Remember that these humans have practically no experience in combat and their bodies are not as resistant as the humans of this world, besides that when they die they can reappear so you can´t truly filter anything..."

"Ah" Realizing his mistake Yun scratched the back of his head and looked a little uncomfortable as she apologized "Excuse me Lord, don't take that into account ..."

Listening to Yun, Deimos knew that he couldn't do anything as he simply reminded Yun to be more careful and reduce the intensity of the training.

"For now go back and rest, tomorrow concentrate on teaching them combat techniques based on their performance, that should motivate them"

"I understood lord"

After that Yun disconnected and as he sat on the edge of the bed Deimos sighed thinking about what he could do now to motivate the players

Without an apparent answer, Deimos got up and left the room and looked through the windows of the fortress tower at the players working in the pit.

This reminded him that he had told one of the players that he would tell him more about the Goblins so that the players would organize themselves.

"I just hope he's still around ..."

Hello and thanks for reading, if you have any suggestions, don't doubt to comment on them, and I still have players without a nickname so if you want you can post your own nickname and personality so you may be able to appear in the future in the novel if your character fit in it

Another thing, as you may or may not notice, one of my hobbies is map-drawing ad 3d map modeling, if you have any model you want to see, you can send a picture in the comments.
