Epic of Vampire Dragon: Reborn As A Vampire Dragon With a System

Chapter 401 – Abyss Diary

—–

Chaos admired his Status for a bit, like always, he liked to see the numbers increase, but not only that increased this time around, but also the number of Fragments he had skyrocketed, the list was very big and sometimes he didn't even remember having so many fragments because they felt like nothing when they fully fused with him, they just felt like his fingers feel, or like his eyes feel, like they were always there for him and just a part of his natural self, so he cannot really see them as how the System put them to be as.

The increase seemed good enough for now, although he was still going to fight with the power he had right now, he didn't planned to directly confront Valen foolishly, and had to plan out his movements, perhaps including a lot of his allies' unique abilities to create Chaos and confusion, and furthermore, he probably is going to kill all the small fry first to get as much Essence to increase his strength before even confronting Valen… And even then, it might still be very risky.

But it wasn't as if there were no helpers, his allies were there, and Abyss… Everybody had grown stronger. However, Chaos hoped for the best scenario possible where he would be able to free Nesephise and save the Giant Frog Mother's egg, freeing her and then using Nesephise's strength to ask the frog for help. As the frog is a Supreme God-Realm creature, it would be easy for the monster to fight against Valen and with her help, the fight could actually become doable…

That was his plan, to free her and the frog first. But he feared that for that, he would have to fight the frog first. It was stupid for Valen if he were to not use the frog to fight, right? If he had Nesephise captured as a slave or something, he would obviously use her to order to frog to guard his domain, making her a deadly and very hard to pass through guard. There would need to be some way to strategize a way inside of his domain while also distracting the frog until he and his allies could rescue Nesephise and the egg, which would effectively grant them an almost guaranteed victory if things went well.

But Chaos knew that things never went well, the future is always changing and there are always many variables that can decide the end of a battle, being too rash won't bring any opportunity to him and it might even bring disaster more than anything. Chaos didn't wanted a disaster to happen, nor for things to become too unpredictable either, so he has to make sure to get ahold of the moment and see what other possibilities could occur, and plan for each scenario accordingly.

But that would consume a lot of energy and it would be a hellish thing to do, planning for so many variables would only make things worse as there are way too many variables to be able to just predict everything that could happen… Chaos felt his mind going in circles for a bit, until he sighed internally and tried to calm himself down.

He looked into the ceiling and then at Abyss, who was sitting at his side while writing something inside a little book. This little book was Abyss' diary, which she had begun to write some time ago within the time they spent training inside of their divine realms. In this diary, Abyss wrote down all the things she had lived since she was reincarnated in this second life and was today also filling it with what they did. Her cute innocence made Chaos smile a bit.

"And done…" Said Abyss.

"Did you write what happened today?" Wondered Chaos.

"Yep… It was an intense day… I have bad memory so I like to write down things before I forgot them…" Said Abyss.

"I see, I suppose it is a nice idea, in the future you'll be able to read it and remember all these memories, the good and bad ones…" Said Chaos.

"Yeah, that's my plan! We'll have a long journey, I don't know when it will even end though, or if it will ever reach an end…" Sighed Abyss. "But I am sure that it will be filled with a lot of fun things to write… As long as I remain alive, I will keep writing."

"I see… I… I also want an end too." Sighed Chaos. "After I save my father… I guess we could settle down, in this planet, or maybe in another planet… Away from the galactic empires, where we can live without concerns."

"R-Really? You wanted that?" Wondered Abyss.

"Of course… Do you think I like fighting all the time? It is somewhat tiring. I am a monster, I know… I… I am not really a human anymore; I sometimes wonder if I could even be considered a person. But even then… I still feel tired sometimes." Said Chaos. "I am not saying that I am a coward but… I've always wondered how it would feel like to have a normal life like the normal humans of our previous life used to have. Is it fun? Is it relaxing? I've always wondered what a life with both freedom and safety could feel like… But I guess there was never true safety even in that society."

"Right… I think the same I suppose. I am not really hellbent into reaching a point or something, I just want to stay at your side and see you happy… I will fight at your side as long as possible, until the day I die." She said. "But I would gladly settle down and live a "normal" life if you ever want to… Although others persecuting us will make that hard."

"I know…" Sighed Chaos. "That's why I want it to be after the main conflict is done… I am also resentful against the Supreme Deity of Brightness; she had provoked all of this to happen at the end…" Sighed Chaos. "I am not going to stop until I see her dead."
