Crimson Overlord-Chapter 102
This Chapter is like a Flashback. This happened after the encounter between Orpheus and the Morningstar’s family.
~ Five months after Nix’s creation and Freya’s revival, the second vampire, Freya, became the third vampire.
The group was still in the forest. Orpheus had recuperated after two months; drinking Nix and Freya’s blood he created another three vampires.
One woman and two men. The woman’s name was Hildegarde; she was shorter than Nix, with red eyes and red hair. The second vampire was a man named Elijah; his height was around 1,70m; he was a bit bulky, handsome, with red eyes and black hair. He wore black-rimmed glasses and was the intellectual type, the third and last one was also a man. Orpheus named him Stephen; he had the same height as Elijah, and black and red eyes.
They were not powerful like Nix or Freya. They all had pale white skin and sharp fangs.
After their creation, they chatted, and he gave them the full right to expand their rank by creating more vampires; it is another one of their racial characteristics; they could transform any other race into a vampire, even beasts into blood servants, just that they would not be pureblood.
For this reason, Elijah suggested creating another vampire, because if Orpheus created it, they would be pureblood. He suggested creating at least two hundred, but that was too taxing; he could only create a hundred vampires, fifty men, and fifty women; strength-wise, they were a lot weaker than the five, but their bloodlines were pure enough. Elijah proposed that those hundreds should copulate between themselves, keeping the Pure bloodline intact.
Like this, ten years passed.
Many vampire offspring were born with a pure bloodline, and more than fifteen million humans and demons were secretly transformed into vampires. They were not pureblood but were powerful, and they could procreate; however, the group soon discovered a fatal weakness, they were forced to constantly feed on blood to survive or else they would become berserk, their skin color was paler, and they were afraid of the sun, they would automatically burn into ash once in contact with the sun, only the more powerful could survive for few hours.
Strangely, as the original vampire Orpheus didn’t have that weakness, nor did the other five have it, he didn’t need to feed on blood. Still, the other five and the other hundred, their offsprings, must suck blood occasionally. A hundred vampires were created after Elijah, and their offspring said they don’t like the sun; it makes them uncomfortable.
Orpheus, Elijah, and Stephen came up with a ranking for the vampire race:
Royal Vampires: The Eldest Known family of Vampires. These are the highest-ranked Vampires; they have the final say on everything. They can be called the Ancestors of the Vampire Race. Nix, Freya, Hildegarde, Elijah, and Stephen are the only ones classed in this rank.
Pure Vampires: None of their bloodlines has ever been tainted with human blood. The hundred he created are classed here.
Elite Vampires: The offspring of two Vampires. When two Vampires mate, their children age far more quickly, and their abilities are far more advanced. They are born with scarlet eyes; they are the offspring of the Pure Vampire.
Vampire Council: Made up of Elite and Pure Vampires. They make the laws that all Vampires follow. They also control the Human and Demon Vampires.
Normal Vampires: constituted of transformed human and demon race, means they are the created after being bitten by a Vampire, they fear the sunlight, their thirst for blood can be controlled, they can procreate. The failed vampire, the normal vampire who can’t control their thirst for blood and act like a beast, was called Thrall.
Shadow Legion: The bloody assassin legion. Only specialized in assassination and information gathering.

In the Core region of the forest is a big dark castle; inside a great hall, sitting on a chair around a giant Dark table are eight individuals.
Naturally, it was Orpheus, Nix, Freya, Lucifer, Nemesis, Elijah, Stephen, and Hildegarde. Today they were here to talk about their preparation before next to the war.
Orpheus would start the second world war and exterminates the demon and Angel. That was his goal.

“So, Elijah, How is the preparation?” Orpheus asked Elijah, the brain of the group.
“Reporting Lord. We successfully infiltrated the major power in the human continent. Same thing in the demon continent.” Elijah gives his report.
“Not bad, It seems that you didn’t manage to infiltrate the Angel continent.” Hearing his report, Orpheus nodded, but in the end, he asked how things were progressing on the angel side.
“Regrettably, as you have guessed, we didn’t manage to infiltrate it. Firstly it is because they are tightly guarded, and secondly, the more important reason is that all Angels are light attribute users, which is one of our weaknesses; we will be automatically discovered if we sneak in. The Light Barrier covering the whole continent is harmful to us” Elijah explained the reason for their failure.
“I see; even if we didn’t manage to infiltrate the continent of the Angel, it’s not that bad; overall, it won’t affect our plans. Start Phase A of our plan.” Orpheus said after hearing Elijah’s explanation.
“Certainly,” Elijah responded before summoning a shadow and giving him some instructions; afterward, that shadow vanished.
Stephen asked Orpheus a question. It was something most of those present wished to know.
“Lord, I know that the Phase A of the plan is to use a transformed demon vampire to kill some high-ranked humans, which will infuriate the Human race; they will first want an explanation from the demon, but the envoys sent by them to go into the Demon continent will be killed by another group of demon en route. The human race will become completely enraged; this time, they will start preparing to war against the demon race. On the other side, the Demon race will claim that they are innocent, that this is a scheme against them, but this time a bunch of humans will start assassinating some high-ranked demons, and the demon race will retaliate by also preparing for war. Like that, war will probably start, but how do we implicate the Angel in this war?”
Hearing his creation’s question, Orpheus couldn’t help but smile for a moment before responding.
“Well explained, but do you think the human and demon races are idiots? No, they are not, especially the human race; they know that it is a scheme, but because they were waiting for a chance to start another war, even knowing that it is a scheme, they will jump in, the same thing on the Demon race side and also the two know that the instigator of this war will probably show up when they will start fighting, the two would turn against the instigator and eliminate him afterward they will continue the war to decide who would be the ruler of this world. We will show up when the two will start fighting by massacring a lot of humans and demons; they will see us as bloodthirsty demons and a common enemy, the two will automatically want to eliminate us, and the angel race will jump in because of their righteousness, they will probably want to eradicate the bloodthirsty vampire race, this will become three against one. At that time, they will know how dangerous we are; I want to eradicate the angel if possible.”
All seven present nodded in understanding; their apparition was the phase B of the plan, and now everything was ready.
Orpheus would talk about Phase C of the plan, but he suddenly chuckled while looking at Lucifer.
“Lucifer, considering how sly you are, you must have a backup plan in case you’re betrayed and in case you want to start your revenge. So, how many men do you have?”
Everyone looked at him; Lucifer smiled before answering
“As expected of my Lord, you saw through me. I have some men ready to act if I summon them. To put it, I have five thousand men in the Demon army; I call them Death Soldiers; they look normal, nobody will doubt anything because even they have forgotten what they are, all of them enslave person imprint in their souls, it only me that can do that. If I wanted to act and betray the demon race, I needed to activate the slave imprint on my side; as master, they will automatically act on my command without any emotions or any fear; they are all-powerful, and the slave imprint in their souls suppressed their real cultivation. You have to give the order, I will transmit it to them, and they will do it. What is your order, my lord?”
Everybody present was astonished by what Lucifer was just said, especially Nemesis; Freya only chuckled in response.
”Brilliant Lucifer, nice backup plan; for now, they don’t need to do anything, but when the war is at his peak, use them to backstab the demon race and angel, I’m sure the two will cooperate. Well, Nemesis doesn’t look at your father like that. I’m sure he has his reasons; we won’t dwell in.” Orpheus said, but even himself was surprised by what Lucifer had said, but it was a good surprise. 𝑓𝙧𝘦𝘦we𝘣𝙣𝘰𝘃𝗲l.com

A few months later, the human race and demon race started a war as Orpheus planned, but it was only a few skirmishes here and there, nothing big, but two months later, a new race showed up; they were bloodthirsty, killing demon and human alike, they called themselves the vampire race.
Immediately, the angel race stepped in, wanting to defeat those bloodthirsty demons; they joined hands with the demon race, the human race also retaliated, and the war escalated, it became. A big war.
Lots of cities are littered with blood, suits, and gore. Red, brown, and black are the new colors of what was once a bright city, which has now become the stage of a bloody war.
The air, which would normally be vibrant with the sound of work, business, and craftsmanship, was now a hellish symphony of screams and explosions; there’s no coming back from this.
Millions of people are dead in two years; Lucifer five thousand men betrayed the Demon race, and the angel race backstabbed them. Lucifer showed up, and the angel race was completely exterminated by the joint attacks of Lucifer’s suicide squad and the vampire race; the demon race was almost eliminated; they joined hands to deal with the vampire race after the angel fell.
Stephen fell in battle (they thought).
Elijah also died; Nix was surnamed the darkness Queen; all feared her, and lots of Pure vampires and elite vampires died. This second world war was indeed bloody.
Strangely the elves race didn’t get involved in this war. Well, it was because their creator forbade them to get involved.
As for Orpheus, after the die was cast, he calmly waited for the prey to come at him.
