Jobless Reincarnation: The King with a Mental Problem

Necros Fortress

[Trevor's Perspective]

Awooooo~~~

Sunlight streamed through the openings in the ceiling beneath the dome of the Necros Fortress.

The Shadow Lord has finally awakened from his slumber.

However, due to the excessively long period of slumber, the Shadow Lord's brain has not yet fully activated.

My throat is so dry and I'm so thirsty...

I feel so uncomfortable all over...

who am I?

where am I?

What was I supposed to do again?

I...I think so...

No! That's not right!

I...I remember now!

I am the Lord of Shadows!

As for this place...

At this moment, the Shadow Lord began to analyze the chaotic scene before him.

It felt as if I had been asleep on a throne for a long time, and this place looked like a demon king's castle because everything around me was so stereotypical...

Dark marble pillars, dim candlelight, the horns of some unknown creature hanging on the wall...

And it also had a strangely familiar feeling.

There were many signs of a battle around, a mess, and you could even see a guy's butt stuck in the wall, with only his legs sticking out and hanging far off the ground.

Um......

Judging from his build, he should be a man, so is he actually cosplaying as the strategist?

Looking around again, you can still see heads stuck in the ceiling, cosplaying as chandeliers; people hanging from chandeliers swinging on swings; large craters on the ground; and bloodstains from explosions and dragging...

They're quite good at having fun...

Looking down, I saw a beautiful green-haired man. Sunlight streamed down from the broken dome, illuminating his beautiful hair with a golden glow. He was lying beside me, seemingly dozing off.

My cough seemed to have startled him awake.

He immediately stood up, then leaned closer, holding a can of something he couldn't identify.

"My king, you have finally awakened."

Just as the Shadow Lord was about to speak, he found something strange in his mouth. After spitting it out, he realized it looked like tea leaves or something similar.

"Ah...Alucard?"

"I am here."

"Quick...quick, help me...find something to eat..."

"This is the best grass I could find here."

As he spoke, he immediately grabbed another handful of tea leaves from the jar and handed them over...

Oh shit......

That idiot...

【after a while】

It took quite a while for the Shadow Lord's brain to restart completely.

And I learned some general information from Alucard.

First of all, this is the northern part of the Demon Continent, the castle of the Undying Demon King Atofi. I was transferred here due to the Great Transfer Event.

At the same time, for some unknown reason, my magic power was consumed too much. Not only did my hair turn white, but my body also felt like it had been drained dry, and I fell into a coma.

Moreover, I was unconscious for a long time, and it has been three months since I woke up...

When I met Rudy and the others, I was certain that they would be affected by the Great Transfer, so I immediately made some plans in my mind.

The gist is that she goes directly to the Demon Continent, beats up the Undying Demon King Atofi, forces her subordinates to find the Wandering Demon Emperor, and uses her Demon Eye to find Rudy and the others.

The current situation is that we are very lucky and have landed here directly. Alucard, following the plan I came up with before the Great Transfer, is protecting me while giving orders to the Undying Demon King and the others.

but......

The plan itself wasn't the problem, but its execution went slightly wrong.

Alucard failed...

It seems there were some problems in the negotiations.

Alucard is strong, but he's also stupid...

He smashed Atofi's head into a pulp, then, looking at the pile of pulp, softly gave her orders.

The meat sauce, of course, couldn't hear what Alucard said, and therefore couldn't possibly answer...

So Alucard stopped wasting words and started beating them mercilessly, intending to beat them until they agreed.

However, they mistook him for a crazy troublemaker and wanted to join forces to defeat Alucard.

The opposing team happened to be a bunch of undead, who couldn't be easily killed and could be beaten for a very long time, so the scene became quite ugly.

As expected, Alucard won.

However, the main objective was not achieved. Alucard had frightened his opponent, who thought he was crazy and therefore did not ask him what he wanted to do.

Alucard was another bot, and he wondered why the other player was so stubborn...

As a result, after beating them several times, they abandoned their home and moved away, apparently to the old city of Chihiris.

Alucard, wanting to protect the unconscious king, did not pursue them.

Now only these few are left, stuck in the wall and unable to escape; one of them even starved to death...

I only just learned that these undead were actually starving to death.

How mysterious...

But what's even more mysterious is this king...

For the past three months, Alucard has been stuffing tea leaves into my mouth and pouring water into it whenever he can find them...

They didn't even move it to a different spot for me; it's just sitting there on the throne.

The undead have all starved to death, yet I am still alive, and have even awakened...

Could this be a last gasp before death?

Terrified, the Shadow King disregarded how stiff and weak his body was and immediately retrieved some candy from his enchanted barrier to replenish his energy.

Although I really want to give Alucard a good scolding.

But he couldn't bring himself to speak, not just because he didn't have much strength...

Alucard looked exhausted, with a pitiful expression, like a poor little dog...

"Sorry, I think I had some kind of malfunction earlier... I feel like I have some memory problems..."

"Sigh... I will fix you up..."

Why were the tools Pell made so intelligent?

After briefly maintaining his vital signs, I took Alucard into my Reality Marble, then switched into Alucard's body, found myself some food, checked on Alucard, and analyzed the current situation.

First, there's the matter of one's own situation.

I remember that things shouldn't have turned out this badly after I was moved, right?

It felt like my whole body had been completely drained...

Was it because I used up too much magic power at that time?

uncertain......

What about Rudy?

His hair had turned white back then. Is his condition now even more serious than mine?

We need to find him as soon as possible...

Although I can use Alucard's body, my own body is currently too weak. Healing magic is of little use for malnutrition. To recover, I need to replenish my energy and then spend some time resting and exercising.

but......

The situation doesn't seem so bad, because in Alucard's memory, my body seems to be much better than it was at the beginning.

Am I truly a god?

Then there's the issue of Alucard.

He said his memory seemed to be having some problems, but after examining it, I couldn't find the problem, because the memory did indeed appear to be coherent.

However, due to the lack of rest and development over a period of time, many minor problems have arisen, requiring a thorough examination.

Is this the reason why your brain malfunctioned?

Just like my own, I feel a sense of familiarity with this place, as if I've been here in a dream.

I even followed my intuition and found the hidden wine in the kitchen...

After preparing a simple meal using kitchen ingredients, the Shadow King found the most comfortable bed in the room, lay down, and manipulated Alucard to give him a massage.

Next, we need to start organizing external intelligence.

Unfortunately, there was very little information available.

I know nothing of the Great Transfer, I know nothing of Rudy's situation, I know nothing of Senis's situation...

But by some strange twist of fate, I found myself on the other side of the world, on a demonic continent...

It seems that Per can't come here for some reason...

Should we use Alucard's body to fly all the way back to the Central Continent?

However, Alucard's body also needs time to recover. Since I was unconscious, it was impossible to store magical energy within my Reality Marble, so the amount of magical energy stored within it was limited.

It would be ridiculous if it lost its magic while flying over the sea.

but......

It shouldn't take long to rebuild magic power, as the magic concentration here is significantly higher than back home.

Perhaps we can slowly fly back along the edge of the continent, recovering our magic power as we go?

But we don't know how long it will take to fly.

and......

Flying back wouldn't make much sense. It's unclear whether Senis was affected, but Rudy and Alice were definitely moved.

Moreover, there is a high probability that they were also transferred to the Demon Continent.

Will they meet Rachel Rudd again?

Uncertain...

In any case, if you want to know accurate information, you still have to find Chishilica and let her use her clairvoyance to get the information.

Moreover, even if I don't go back, I should be able to find a way to make Per notice this place. I remember that Per and Atofi are enemies.

I happen to be in Atofi's territory, so as long as I cause some trouble, like occasionally firing an EA into the sky...

Um.......

There are roughly two things to do:

First, reorganize and quickly restore combat strength.

Second, force Atofi's forces to help find Rudy and the Demon Emperor, Chisilica.

To avoid wasting time and effort, these two tasks can be performed simultaneously.

Previously, negotiations failed because Alucard was a fool and soft-hearted, and they were worried that he would actually kill the other party.

If it were me, I would simply use my destined death to kill a few cannon fodder to demonstrate my power.

Atofi is a fool, and may not be afraid of death, but the guy next to her named Muya seems to be the kind of person who has brains. He is both the second-in-command and respects Atofi.

I can threaten Atofi with his life to force him to serve me.

While they help me search for Chisilica, I can use the time to recover my health.

Once the intelligence is obtained, the mission can be reassigned...

That's all for now...

Let's take a short rest first, and then I, the King, will take control of Alucard and restart this mission.

[Some time later, in the old city of Qixilis and the town of Licaris]

I spent a lot of time traveling around and asking for directions before finally arriving here.

no way......

Alucard always seems to have some issues with his sense of direction...

Moreover, the old city of Chihiris is quite far from the former Necros Fortress, and we encountered many difficulties when asking for directions.

Because green hair always scares people away from a great distance. Also, Old Chihiris is the old name of this place; the current name is Lycaris Town.

Fortunately, the city is actually quite conspicuous, because the entire city is built in a huge crater, with the crater walls serving as natural city walls.

Finally, after a kind person pointed out this crater, I stared at it intently and finally managed to reach it.

And this place looks somewhat familiar...

It seems to be the city where Rudy and the others lived in the anime.

Because in the middle there is a cool-looking castle made up of many long black cubes.

I am quite fascinated by these fantastical megastructures.

So I remember this very clearly.

It seems the witch's hometown isn't far from here...

When will I finally be able to meet the witch's parents?

I'm just so tired...

Hopefully things will go more smoothly from here on out...

[Some time later, in the old city of Qixilis]

"Damn it! Oh no! That green-haired madman is here again!!!"

"No! They're killing the undead!!!"

"It's Dead End! Green-haired people are all devils! It's Dead End!!!"

"Lord Northern God! Please, grant your power! Subdue this demon!"

"Quickly, go and fetch Lord Artofi!!!"

After a period of chaos and confusion

"What! That madman is still chasing me?! What's the point of you looking for me? I can't beat that madman!!! Muya! I order you to think of a way to kill him with magic or something!!!"

"Huh? I'm fighting Alucard?"

[After another period of chaos and confusion]

"Brother, brother, brother...can't we talk this out?"

I just wanted to have a proper chat.

"Um."

"I was so blind to your greatness, I didn't realize you were the famous divine weapon."

Is Alucard really that famous? His reputation has even reached here...

"Um."

"Lord Atofi's attempt to abduct your princess was merely a joke! Please forgive us, sir!"

"Um?"

The Shadow Lord narrowed his eyes!

Those damn bastards!

I am a man!

"Brother, listen to me, we are not the evil gods you are looking for, nor are we bad guys."

Of course I know that these guys are just a bunch of idiots.

"Um."

"Oh, right! One of the three heroes of the human race, the first Northern God! Kalman Rebek! He's our Lady Atofi's husband! We have a peace treaty with the human race!"

The Northern God? It seems there is indeed such a thing. We can try to get information about the Northern God from them. The blood debts in the conflict zone must always be repaid.

"Um......"

"We are now the Demon Kings who rule the Demon Continent. If you kill us, it might lead to a new war between humans and demons! Please think twice!!!"

I'm not a racial knight, after all, witches are demons too...

"Um."

"You...you really forgive us?"

"Um."

Good communication is indeed very important.

After my polite remarks, the old man kneeling on the ground, drenched in sweat, finally breathed a sigh of relief...

Even their predetermined death didn't work; it terrified them like this...

It's unclear just how much psychological trauma Alucard inflicted on them...

Alucard looks so beautiful and gentle...

"I was wrong before. The King of Promises, whom I was supposed to protect, was in danger, so I was a little anxious. You can understand, right?"

"I understand! I understand!"

"That's good, because I'll need your help from now on."
