King of Chaos

Chapter 5: PARTNERS IN CRIME.

I found myself back in the dark place, but this time, I can feel my body floating in the infinite darkness.

[I saved your life not too long ago, and you're already back here?] came the unidentifiable voice

I remember you, you're the one who put me into this mess, I said. What happened now? Why am I here?

[You don't know? You died.]

What? Again?

[Well... you're near dead. That body of yours is fighting to keep you alive.]

That's another point of contention. Last time I was here I was an old man, why did you put me in the body of a little girl?

[She was the best compatible host on such short notice. You should be grateful; you could do a lot worse.]

Grateful? The girl was FUCKING raped! I yelled angrily.

[A vacant body is a vacant body.] the voice said [It was the best I could do.]

And who are you? You saved me; you made me a Regis; you set all this up. But why? What do you get out of it?

[That doesn't matter, what does matter is you. You have an activated prime crest but something's wrong, you should've been registered by now.]

I don't know how any of this is supposed to work, I informed the voice

[I'm sure it'll work itself out.] the voice audibly shrugged, [Anyway, I see you killed a couple of higher vampires and took their power, well played. That was very entertaining.]

I didn't do it for your amusement. I was getting revenge for this body.

[Oh I know.] the voice said smugly, [Anyway, you're making steady progress so I can't complain, but I'd advise staying outside the notice of the other major players, at least until you've got a stronger stat base. I'd say you should establish yourself...]

Fuck no! I'm not playing your games. I said defiantly, I'm not some game piece you can just move at your leisure.

[Not even if it means you can complete your revenge?]

I hesitated, what do you mean?

[It still exists, y'know. The planet I pulled your soul from? It's somewhere out there in your universe.]

Earth is here

[That isnt what it's actually called, but yeah.]

Where is it? I demanded, I can get revenge on the Maccianos.

[Hold your horses there slick.] the voice snickered, [That isn't how this works. This is my game; if you want something you have to play by my rules.]

What do I have to do? I growled,

[Nothing much, just keep doing what you're doing.] the voice said, obviously amused by my irritation, [In life, the things you want most can often be found along the way.]

So as long as I keep on my current course, I'll find Earth?

[It looks that way, doesn't it?] the voice chuckled,
