The Fatherless Overlord Pt. 1

My P.O.V.

The 2nd of November 2020

"I'm sorry, but you are about to die soon. There are no other treatments."

"Father…"

I hugged him.

"I told you many times to take your medications… but you tell me to drink mine… you are selfless enough to love me for that! I will have you cremated and live with me forever."

He accepted it and decided to go on a few days with trips and such until he died while on a car ride home after our last trip…

"You said things about blood and zombies. You're a vampire, aren't you? Why didn't you turn him Klei?" asked my brother.

"Are you mocking me? Is that it? Right in front of my father? HE IS NOT YOUR FATHER!!! HE IS MINE! YOU ARE NO AN OLIMPO FAMILY YOU ARE TAMAYO! YOU ARE HEARTLESS AND SHAMEFUL! WITH YOUR RELIGIONS AND SCIENCE ALL BULLSHIT THAT CANNOT EXPLAIN HOW I FEEL!

Listen here, 'step' brother… if I turned this man into a vampire, he will live in darkness for all eternity. If he dies in peace after seeing me one last time, he would be happy… he is… rather the happiest man dead… rather alive before… he was lucky to have me! But he wasn't lucky to have you or our stupid older sister who's rather quite the challenge of the mentality! We, our mother but all 3 different fathers, I am not like you!!!"

"You stressed him out that caused him a heart attack, Klei, face reality."

"You face reality with your science and religious bullshit, you stupid son of a Japanese man! Even our sister is a father if a Japanese man but a different person! I was his only hope to live for. He was selfless enough to give away his life just for me to live better! Now he's gone… I will fulfil his legacy."

"And what is that? Your delusions from your mental illness?"

Right in front of the priest and the people, I went to bite his neck and sucked his blood dry, which would turn him into a zombie slave for all eternity.

And then I fled with the inheritance money that he gained from working with the Yakuza as Bull of Kaki. So I am the little Redbull named KAKIHARA. Back in the days of the crime wars.

Leaving my father behind where he is not cremated because the family did not accept it.

MY FATHER'S SOUL AND BLOOD WILL FOLLOW ME AND GUIDE ME INTO DARKNESS!!! FOR HE IS MY BULL! I AM HIS SON! THE LITTLE REDBULL OF SHINDA-GUMI!!! IT IS MY PRIDE! BUT I WILL NOT COME BACK TO THE YAKUZA! I MAY BE A TOP MEMBER, BUT I HAVE THINGS TO DO WITH THE COUNCIL OF VAMPIRES IN TRANSYLVANIA!

I fled as fast as possible with the money, which had way too much money to buy the world!

Now the Templars are alert to hunt all vampires, and they will try to cure my brother, but, in that process, it will just kill him and be damned in hell no matter how religious HE is! Until now…

What really happened on the 2nd of November 2020

"Your cholesterol and risk of heart attack has… changed, but more horribly than before." says the doctor

"So, it's not good, doc? What will I do?"

"The same old routine."

"Well, what about my son? It's been 2 weeks since he had a cold or flu but no fever at all."

"Stand up Mr James."

I stood up.

"Now face the wall."

I did as told.

He checked my back and told me to breathe heavily.

"He just needs some medicine. So I'll give him a free prescription and free medication. These pills will help him."

The nurse intruded.

"Sir Rey, this medicine is different from the others. You see, this is um… a pill, a tablet that you put on water and it will crush itself during the process. And after that, make sure he drinks it."

We went home after more errands and got Gatorade Blue Bolt instead of going for Redbull to give me dopamine because the vampires of the council recommended me if I needed blood. They say the light blue Gatorade does the trick for the thirst because of the amount of IRON.

I drank it slowly and chugged it after, and I felt amazing. Almost human again.

And then, after I drank the pill's water, it tasted like blood.

"It's like one of them bloody tablets I saw in Netflix, dad."

He thought I was getting delusional again.

I had so much strength after that.

End of November, the night is nigh.

Father died in a heart attack. So I went to get the keys to open the door to run outside to the Barangay Hall to announce his peaceful death.

They took him to the hospital and told them I wanted him cremated to spend the whole life with him. By my side, as always… like every day, right, dad? Dad… daddy… where are you now.. *sob*

I was left traumatised and now fatherless. I spent the night drinking all night regardless of how alcohol was the main reason for his death.

I woke up… at dawn.

"The sun is so bright… right… I have to get the death certificate and send them to the family so they can come back home…."

I wore my hoodie and got my inheritance money worth a fortune to buy The World.

And then I sought out to the hospital to get his birth certificate. It got sent to me instead of before I was heading out with a cigarette on my lips.

"Thank you…"

I took clear photos of it with my phone and sent them.

They instantly went to book a flight towards her right after.

I told them the keys are hiding in the garden plants, that's if they can find it. Because I'm going to leave for a bit.

I got Gatorade and drank it with a cigarette.

I went to town to walk around.

"I heard what happened, Klei." the man beside me, smoking a cigarette, same as I am, mentioned to me, "I'm sorry for your loss…."

"I thought you guys expelled me from the Yakuza?"

"Because you don't want to be in it anymore, you're with the Vampire Council and shit and all that in Budapest back in Romania. So I understand you have lots of work to do in that cult or whatever."

I sighed, threw the cigarette on the ground, and stomped on it.

"Where are you going?"

"I'm arranging the funeral."

"Good. Take care of your father, Kakihara."

"Don't sweat it. Orewa Shi-san dayo."

I went to the cemetery park and did all the work, and my mother came home earlier than expected, texting me she was home. But, unfortunately, she can't find the key, so I have to return home.

"Hello mother. A… pleasant morning to you." I grabbed the key in the garden plants.

"You know that's dangerous. What if they find it?"

"Dad does this every day. If you trust dad, trust me, I know how his ways work. Now mother, come inside please."

"Why would you cremate your father?"

"I wanted him to stay with me forever. You have to understand that."

"Klei, what's been lost can't be revived."

"Human logic, it seems. Now. That you are home… you are in charge of doing all the work for the renovation of the house as you wished it that you ordered my father to do it for the family. Sadly, and very unfortunately, I have no such knowledge of these… constructions."

"Why are you speaking… and acting so differently?"

I gave her, her favourite cigarettes and a rose.

"That rose means you. If that withers, you never will. All has life, blood is life. Lives… your name is Rose… mommy."

"Thank you… Klei."

"If you please we can dance playing Danse Macabre."

"What?"

"Ignore me for no ackno-"

"Stop talking like that. This isn't like you!"

"Father's death changed my mother. But I am still the sweet angel you gave birth to."

"Perhaps I can accept that you're mentally delusional and traumatised by dad's death."

"Indeed, so it did."

"I won't be at the funeral… sadly, mainly because of priests, prayers, and crosses and such of those things. They… make my soul feel a burning sensation… as if I am in hell. It hurts… too much. Praying for me is rather too late for that now. I arranged for the funeral for it to be today, expect my brother to come here soon and do the funeral. It will be 3 days, so I will be gone for 3 days and travel."

"HOLD ON A MINUTE WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING?!"

"YOU ARE NOT MY FATHER! LIKE YOU SAID ONLY MY FATHER CAN CONTROL ME NO ONE ELSE YOU SAID THAT YOURSELF I ASKED YOU IF YOU CAN BE MY CARETAKER AND YOU DENIED IT!

AND NOW I AM GOING TO LEAVE FOR 3 DAYS AND SINCE IF YOU DON'T KNOW I GOT THIS MENTAL ILLNESS FROM A DEMON POSSESSION, YOU CALL A PRIEST I WILL KILL THAT PERSON, RIP OUT HIS INTESTINES AND SPREAD HIS INNOCENT HOLY BLOOD ACROSS THE WALLS OF THE HOUSE OF CHRIST!"

"What… happened to you, my son…? This is not you anymore…."

"If you don't think of me as human, I will seek out through the entire world to find that person who thinks I'm still a human! I have my father working for Kaki-gumi in the Yakuza that gave me his blood money to spend my whole life living the life I've always wanted, absolute freedom! He promised me that if he dies, he will give me absolute freedom and you wish me to be still locked up in this goddamned bullshit?!"

"Get out! GET OUT OF THIS FUCKIN' HOUSE KLEI!!!"

"Wakkatta…"

I left the house, bringing nothing but an envelope of my father's fortunes inherited to me.
