Vitus and Jedrek felt the flow of wind as they stepped out from the tower from the dome.

They saw the field for yards, Vitus sensed the orb and cloak in the north.

He pointed in the direction as a
way signal of where to go, they followed the fields to see a small town.

The myth beings in the
the town was being mistreated, a human was about to punch out a tired mage who was powering 
a machine.

Vitus ran up and blocked the attack, the man was shocked by the scary stare he was given.

Vitus stood the mage up and then the guy ran away "Are you alright?" Vitus asked.

The mage replied "Yes, thank you" 

The mage smiled and it put a smile on Vitus's face as well, a  group of armor-clad knights ran up to them along with the man from earlier.

Vitus inhaled and then blew
out fire at them in a form of a wall.

Jedrek and Vitus escaped as the fire served as a distraction, they were outmatched and knew it.

Vitus decided to have a plan, he walked out and freed as many magical beings as he could.

They escaped the town and ran as far as they could, Vitus saw
all the people who had followed him.

It was a group of humans, mages, beast people, and other
beings who were happy that he helped out. 

He was a little distraught but knew they were looking up to him.

He commanded them to assist him, he put much effort to help them make a small community.

Vitus stood in front of everyone with a look of authority and
determination

"I've seen this garbage happen already from where I came from, I will not have this happen again! I will be the 'overlord' who leads you to freedom!" 

The people clapped and
cheered for his inspiring speech, he was completely surprised they were moved by his word.

It was like the same day when he first became a false overlord.

In the castle city that was three
a thousand miles away, a knight ran through a castle to the throne room. 

He stopped in front 
throne, he jumbled up the words of his report.

"Speak clearly!" The king ordered.

The knight quivered, then reported "Sire, a man from the filth dome is disrupting order! He has the breath
of the dragon"

The king on the throne began to glaze in the eyes and a new voice spoke from him, it ordered

"Defeat the threat of the false overlord before he can rise, he will lead everything to ruin. Make sure the descendant is ready to assume his role." The king returns to normal after
the voice finished his orders.

The knight left with a group of units who joined him, they were
following the voice's command. 

In the overlord camp, Vitus was planning out how to help these
people. 

The sound of a fray was happening outside, the knight had found their camp, and the woman
in elegant armor was battling them.

Her long, white hair flowed as she moved around the
battlefield, she cleared through a large group of knights.

Vitus rushed out to assist, he used his paper talismans to make copies of both of them.

They dashed around the group to add more confusion. 

A mage that was being held by the unit of knights blasted an orb of pure energy, they moved out the way and watched the orb fly off in the direction of the dome.

The dome and tower exploded into pieces, the mage grinned and was kicked to the side.

Vitus used the time that they were distracted with to attack. "Retreat, we are outmatched!" 

The cowardly general who was watching from the sidelines screamed.

The remaining units ran as fast as their legs could take them.

Vitus sighed in relief and then asked "Who are you?" 

"Ingrid Aksel, I am a Valkyrie descendant. I was returning the favor of you and your companion freeing me." She returned to the lowly clothes she was wearing after running out of energy 

"I shall work as your blade, I am forever in your debt," Ingrid added as she got on her knee.

Vitus stood her up, then responded "I may be the one to free, but I do not want you to owe me. I want you to serve the
people as I do,  that is your new goal."  Ingrid began to smile and she nodded.

Jedrek smiled from behind the scenes in approval.
