Nameless King

“Nameless… Or should I call you Wain?” Kobe asked as he lowered himself into the water next to Wain.

“Hmm? It doesn’t matter, call me whatever you want.” Wain waved his hand in a careless manner, “I thought you’d be afraid to come near me, but it seems you’re not a coward.” 𝐝𝗼𝐯𝐥.𝗻𝐭

“Well, my legs were shaking a lot during our fight, I’m sure you noticed that, but it’s over now. Now, we’re on the same side, aren’t we?” Kobe said with a slight smile on his face.

“Huh, you’re pretty cocky. I won’t touch you, that’s true, but you should be grateful to Luar and Linda for that, if you hadn’t made the contract you’d be dead by now.” Wain smirked as his aura intensified, “Anyway, what do you want? I don’t think you came up to me just to talk.”

Kobe smiled, shook his head, and said, “Yeah, you’re right. However, it’s just my curiosity, nothing serious. I want to know why you’re hiding your faces. Are you so afraid someone will find out you’re the humans?”

“You’re an Undead, I think you should understand how important this is to us. I’m not afraid of anyone personally finding out that I’m a human, but if it gets out to too many people it could get me and my mates in very serious trouble.” Wain uttered in a calm voice as he waved his hand.

“Yeah, that makes sense, but lately a lot more information has started to come out about the humans than before.” Kobe smiled in a sly manner.

“Hmm? What the hell are you talking about?” Wain asked while in disbelief.

“Well, I just have my sources.” Kobe shrugged in a careless manner, “Everyone above the Second Chronicle either knew or guessed that the humans were here after the merger of worlds.”

“And…? I’ve known about that for a long time. If you have something important, tell me now.” Wain said with a menacing look while ripples ran through the water.

“Sure. You don’t have to be mad at me.” Kobe smirked as he continued, “For a long time there was practically nothing about you, but recently some famous informants have started to bring out unusual news. They say that in fact you already have vast territories in the west and reliable allies.”

Wain stared at Kobe, smiled, and laughed with all his might.

“Ahahahahahahaha, looks like I won’t need to hide my identity anytime soon.” Wain uttered as he pounded the water with his fist with an exciting look.

Splash.

The impact made a powerful wave that headed toward Luar and nearly knocked him off the crocodile’s back.

“Hey! Wain, what are you doing?! Are you still drunk?!” Luar exclaimed with a disgruntled look while waving his arms.

“Ahahahaha, sorry, that was just emotion.” Wain said with a smile on his face before turning to Kobe, “Is that all you know?”

“Almost. There’s still very little information, but there’s more data every day. In general, everyone says that soon the leader of the humans will reveal their race officially, but it will happen along with some very important event.” Kobe uttered with a serious look, “You know what I’m talking about?”

“Heh, no, not all the humans are together.” Wain said as he shook his head, “However, I obviously know the leader of the humans. It will be curious to know.”

…

A few hours later all events came to an end as Wain’s monsters returned to his Void while Kobe and Veltrug talked to Linda about how they would work together.

“Ah, it was a great feast, no, I’d say it was quite a feast.” Luar muttered with excited looks while holding his hands behind his head in a careless manner.

“Well, even though I don’t feel like it, I have to agree with you. Thanks to Linda’s ability, it ended up better than I could have imagined.” Wain said as he waved his hand, “But, it’s time for you to open the portal.”

“Sure.” Luar nodded and waved his hand.

A spatial rift opened before him that led into the infinite darkness.

“Fine. Zero! Come here!” Wain shouted.

At the same time, a stream of darkness appeared next to him, out of which Zero emerged with a calm look.

“Are we leaving?” Zero asked as he stared at Wain.

“Yeah. By the way, Luar, will you come with us to Last Light?” Wain asked as he held out his hand.

“No, I just won the war, now I have to deal with the management of Void, so I’ll join you later.” Luar said while shaking his head.

“What…? Everyone here understands that all you do is boo as Linda does all the dirty work…” Wain muttered with a confused look.

“I can’t hear a thing! Are you going to leave or should I close the portal?” Luar exclaimed as the portal became narrower.

“Ah…” Wain sighed, looked around, and entered the portal with Zero that followed him.

“See you later! Hopefully next time I won’t have to wait almost a year!” Luar said with a slight smile on his face while waving his hand.

Whooooooosh.

The portal closed as the darkness around Wain and Zero began to dissipate. The one who opened the spatial rift was Luar, so as soon as he decided to close the portal he would return to the place in the real world where the portal was opened earlier.

Crackle.

In the spacious room, a spatial rift opened from which Wain and Zero emerged. The first thing they saw was an expensive wooden table on which stood a half-empty bottle of whiskey, and a panoramic window instead of a wall through which there was an incredible view.

Wain with a slow step walked to the window and his eyes opened wide as his jaw dropped almost to the ground.

“What the hell is this…” Wain uttered while in disbelief, “How is that possible?”

He didn’t realize it at the time, but the view he was looking at was from the tallest skyscraper in Overion, the top floor. It was the best place to see all the progress of the humans who had returned the city to almost its former appearance.
