Stalemate

With no idea what the overlord was planning to do, I kept myself at the maximum vigilance as I marched through the corridors of his mansion. Even if I was too powerful for any of them to do me any real harm, history proved it over and over again that even the greatest strength, the greatest advantage could be overcome with enough wits and surprise attack! 

I wasn't going to make the same mistake as most of the great leaders that left their name in history not through their victories, but through their ultimate defeat. No matter how little did I think of those people, wasn't going to turn my back at all the lessons that the mistakes of my precedesors from the earth taught me!

But no matter how long I roamed the mansion, there was not even a single person in sight. As if the entire city got emptied out, I couldn't hear any of the noises of a normal life outside of the building.
