[VRMMO] Dead One

"Hello. Good morning, good evening and good night to all viewers." – said the female cat-sith player with pink colored fur.

"Here is your reporter, interviewer and overall, your favorite commentator, Prum from the World Ears guild"

"Now, you are probably wondering where I’m."

"Hehehe!"

"Da-da-da-da! Here!"

"I’ve managed to secure a interview with the emperor Dead One – ClownFrog!" – said the pink cat-sith as she showed her camera ClownFrog in his humanoid form, sitting on the throne.

"Hi." – said ClownFrog with low voice, alarming the cat girl.

"Em....."

"..."

"Sorry.... I’m just.... Too much paper work. I was already told that people think I’m angry all the time... But I’m just tired." – said ClownFrog, as he realized the cat girl got bit scared.

"I-I see." – said Prum as she approached ClownFrog.

(Damn. He is really fucking scary. I though I’ve already pissed him off already or something and I was about to die on the spot.)

"Anyway, can we start the interview?"

"Yes.... Please do." – said ClownFrog with tired expression.

"Okay. Then let’s begging." – said Prum.

"How we start with basics?"

"Specifically, your story."

"From what is known about you, you were originally known hero from a different continent alongside your guild."

"Your guild had obtained many tiles of heroes in over 3 different kingdoms, before then departing and arriving at this continent."

"You originally started as terrorist here, but then not only you formed your own kingdom, becoming the very first player out there to do such thing, but then you went further and destroyed the Oin empire."

"Tell me. Some people thought that you won because of luck, but how was it really?"

"Well.... It wasn’t luck per say.... But it was also luck." – replied ClownFrog.

"The corruption within Oin empire was way too high, causing the empire to start crumbling.... And with the right timing, when the succession war broke out, we were able to swoop in and destroy the Oin empire."

"So, you are saying if the Oin empire wasn’t so corrupted, it wouldn’t fall so easily?" – asked Prum.

"Yeb. This is reality." – said ClownFrog.

"But obviously luck alone wouldn’t be enough to win against the Oin empire."

"First prince military strength."

"Second prince strategic mind."

"And the third prince..... Well, he was stupid, but he had one of the strongest armies out there."

"If we had relayed purely on the luck, even one of those faction would had been able to easily destroy us."

"I see..." – said Prum.

"Then next question."

"This one the last war."

"In your announcement, you have said that you didn’t started the war, but instead all other nations started it. Could you elaborate?"

"Well..... Honestly the answer is much more simpler than you think." – replied ClownFrog.

"All of them wanted the war, for extremely long time."

"However, with the Oin empire present, nobody was really able to even try attempting starting the war."

"But once the Oin empire was gone and it was now replaced with much more unstable empire that had yet to fully control itself..... Well, you can see the picture."

"They saw this as their chance and instantly made a move."

"And if I’m honest. This maybe the reason why the second prince summoned the Hell Lord in the war back then."

"He realized that the chaos was coming.... But not us..... So, yea."

"As it turned out we thought we walked into a bear trap, but instead we walked into land mine."

"I see..... So, you are saying the rumors of using vampires to cause chaos, which ended up making other kingdoms goes to the war was false?" – asked Prum.

"Em.... Yea? I mean, they were looking out so much for us, that even one race that belonged to our kingdom was pretty much suspected of being spies."

"We had some trades here and there, but other kingdoms were too.... "Aggressive" on their side, which made trading bit hard for us."

"Okay.... Then what about the so called "benefactor"?" – asked Prum.

"From what is known, you named him as one of the biggest terrorist on the whole continent, but who is he? And what is his goals?"

"We cannot exactly reveal everything about the suspected, but we can tell you this." – said ClownFrog.

"He is maniac that will do what ever in his power to fulfil his goal, even if means destroying the whole continent."

"I mean, he didn’t knew about us when we first appeared nor anybody knew we would be joining the war as kingdom, but even so he had lent his humanoid monsters to the third prince, even when he or she was fully aware of the fact that this decision would result in not only the entire Oin empire being destroyed by the third prince hands, but also maybe the whole continent."

"So yea.... Him planning to destroy the whole continent in order to get what he wanted was not related one bit to us.... At first it was."

"So yea.... Don’t take any cadies from him or her."

"Noted." – replied Prum.

"Then here is the last main question."

"How is the empire?"

"It was more than half a year after the war has ended. Specifically, over 10 in game months."

"But from what am I told, the entire empire is pretty much in.... Shambles? Not only that, but it is also said that you had been using a extremely measures of keeping peace, as far as doing public execution almost every week and such or ruling with iron fist."

"Yes. This is all correct." – replied ClownFrog.

"E-eh?!"

"You are admitting to these charges?" – asked confused Prum.

"What the hell is point of hiding it when the truth is right in front of everybody eyes?" – asked ClownFrog.

"Most of those kingdoms were filled to the brim with either corrupted officials or just delusional fools."

"Elves who spread around plagues and poisons in order to show their dominance."

"Holy kingdom zealots that would do acts of genocide in order to "regain their gods gazes"."

"Or for example dwarves that can’t accept being ruled by non dwarven king, straight up deciding to become terrorist and blow things up."

"But aren’t you also harming innocent people who got mixed up?" – asked Prum.

"Well.... This is the problem." – replied ClownFrog.

"If you had either option of hurting 1 bad person and 1 good person, would you do if it meant saving 10 people?"

"You need evil."

"And I’m fucking done pretending to be good guy all the time."

"Cruelty and evil is the only things that can control this continent."

"Instead, let me ask you a question here, Prum."

"What do you think would happened if I showed mercy to the whole continent?"

"Do you think those rebellious people would listen? Would these terrorist just put down their weapons?"

"Would they just go around, dance and sing like princesses?" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

"...."

"But doesn’t showing aggression to them would make other citizens of the fallen kingdom to pick up their arms?" – asked Prum.

"And hurt who exactly?" – asked ClownFrog.

"The ones that are getting hurt the most by their own actions are their fellow citizens."

"This just plain reality."

"Idiots doing stupid things and not admitting there are wrong."

"I don’t care how inhuman those actions may be, but if people can’t see the foolishness of their of actions and instead endangering their brother and sisters, then how do you expect these people to be in power?"

"It would be just the same repeat of that very same fucking war that swallowed this entire continent."

"And tell me, does anybody really wants it?"

"..."

"No..... I don’t think so?" – replied bit nervous Prum as ClownFrog just glared at her.

"So, you are saying you are fine with using torture, fear and death as means of controlling to continent?"

"And what other choice is there?" – replied ClownFrog.

"Playing a good guy won’t solve this answer."

"This is the fucking reality of being a king."

"And this is messenge to whoever makes their own kingdoms out there or is a lord of territory."

"Do you all really think that ruling is easy?"

"And do you really think, that showing mercy is always the answer that will solve everything?"

"..."

*Sigh*

"Well, this moral stupid debate won’t probably end up any time soon, since I can already see some people screaming "THAT IS EVIL" or "YOU MONSTER" or some shit, when none of them are really ones ruling anything."

"Anyway, next question. Got anything?"

"Hm.... Well, those were the 3 main questions I was told to ask you." – said Prum.

"But now, I have my own question."

"Is the Garog empire, planning on expanding on the different continents?"

"..."

"..."

"Hm..... Well... Honestly I don’t know." – replied ClownFrog.

"Truth to be told, we weren’t planning on taking control over the entire continent, since our own empire was still in messy state, since back then it was only "alive" for 1 whole year."

"But we needed to take control in order to somewhat calm down the chaos."

"So honestly speaking, we really can’t spread outside different continents and I don’t know if we would even aim for the different continents in the first place."

"I’m already tired from doing paper work each freaking day and you can see yourself that the continent has yet to recover from the war."

"So, here is answer."

"Right now – We can’t."

"But in the future? Don’t know."

"It is not decided yet."

"Hm.... I see." – said Prum.

"So, the empire future is unknown?"

"..."

"I think I’m satisfied with this answer."

"However, can we continue the interview?"

"I still have many question to ask."

"And I also have a lot of questions from my viewers as well."

*Sigh*

"Well, this is why I’m here, right?" – replied ClownFrog.

"Just hit me already, since I still have other work to do."
