The Scientist of Monster Creation, forcefully Hired

“So? Are you sure you want to to this?”

As Robert asks at the Crowd, a chorus of yells and cry’s of affirmation came. 
From loudly saying yes till howling is everything represented. 
And at the front, or Ethan.

Robert, the instigator of the whole gathering, wanted to remain in the shadow. 
Meaning, he didn’t want to be the one blamed when they fail. 
So he recruited Ethan as the one who will lead thins whole fanfare.

The Goal? To overtake Chloe’s room. 
Nearly everyone gathered here is hungry for power. 
But the Path of being a Dungeon Master is not an very interactive one.

Many who are Dungeon Master forgot why they choose to be one. 
They wanted to be safe. Safe from any harm. 
The nature of being an Dungeon Master allowed them to kill Sapients without being exposed to Danger.

It has the Disadvantage that one’s personal might can’t grow anymore, until having a benefit for fighting personally. 
And even that is limited in some ways. 
Those that mean they would sacrifice their current role for personal Power?

No. They are greedy and contemplated. 
Similar to Ethan, the power got to their Heads. 
But opposed to him, they hunger for more.

Just some rumour spreading from Robert, some pointed “Observations” he made and so on. 
It wasn’t long until most were convinced that the Chloe person doesn’t have the Power. 
Hierarchical order? Might makes right, and they have Numbers.

Even if she is more powerful, which most began to subconsciously deny, they can still overwhelm her. 
Some may die? That’s fine! 
No one really remembers the terror of the possibility of death.
And no one cares if someone else dies.

They think of themself as invincible. 
And Robert’s claim that he is equal to a God didn’t help at all. 
When he is, why shouldn’t they also not reach that level.

No one saw him fight, and on their mind, he isn’t that much powerful. 
They began to overestimate their abilities as being higher than they are. 
Even talking down the might of an ancient dragon.

They are ensemble of fools. 
Of many fools, and that’s what Robert needs. 
When they take the place over with their muscles, he can control them with his brain.

Might makes right, and he won’t be opposed. 
And when they oppose him, he can make an example from them. 
Better, when the little Creator fights back and they re-learn the fear of getting hurt or even dying.

It will be so much more effective to be tyrannical. 
He won’t even need to do much. 
It isn’t some complicated plan or similar.

Just make them riot and then take over. 
The only possibility of it going wrong would be if she can fight them all back. 
She has a powerful pseudo-domain, and who knows how much combat strength.

So he won’t reveal himself as heavily affiliated until it’s safe. 
He can’t go either way, as long as the ban isn’t lifted. 
And he has to herd the sheep.

They think of him as someone generous, since he advises them and so on. 
Wishes them well and talks to Ethan (the provisional Leader) about tactics and so on. 
Even though they will probably just rush in.

And now, they just need the last piece. 
That one of the one trying to overthrow her gets the chance to visit. 
Anu second now, the winner will be decided.

But the Lottery has a Trick to it. 
One needs to register. 
So Dungeon Master who play hermit won’t use a chance without using it.

Or that otherwise people won’t be “forced” to meet her and so on. 
But what if everyone gets intimidated to not participate? 
They can’t die, but they can still get hurt.

And the Pain such a tiny army can inflict is unbearable for “normal” people. 
Robert begins to tangent in his mind how great undead are and so on. 
Completely missing the result.

As he looks up again and sees it concluded he ask out loud.

”Well, who won the Chance? 
I think he would be worthy of leading the charge!”

No one answers. 
Everybody looks uncomfortable at each other. 
Robert, having taken an elevated Position, sees that and has such an feeling.

”Well, who won? 
Just answer, regardless if he is with us or not.”

”Aehm, it was Waylon.”

”Waylon! He of all People!”

Shyly, Ethan answer, just to get showered with shouts. 
Waylon and Robert don’t understand each other very well. 
At first, it was just Robert not liking his attitude and forcing him to bend to him.

The unreasonable Behaviour made Waylon dislike him. 
That enraged Robert so much that he behaved like someone insufferable. 
It’s easy to guess how it continued to spiral down.

Waylon was someone who could think very logical. 
He reasoned well and was hard to deceive. 
Robert, who tries to sway people through his Eloquence and Emotional manipulation, didn’t like it one bit.

He saw in him his kryptonite.
People who were half-convinced now doubted Robert’s every breath.
And even some smarter people who have fallen for his schemes left his circle.

It’s easier to manipulate idiots who don’t deduce right and wrong by logic but by pride. 
On the other hand, they are only numbers and fighting power. 
In a realm we’re fighting isn’t that important, severely lacking in usefulness.

So hearing his so-called Nemesis did ruin his plan, enraged him. 
On the other hand, Waylon dislikes Robert, he dislikes him much. 
But it isn’t hate.

He feels he isn’t worth hating him, since he sees him literally as an idiot. 
Robert’s behaviour is shameless, but the best is just avoiding him. 
He wouldn’t be worth fighting against, so he mostly ignores him.

But he keep himself updated. 
And he can’t suppress his smirk as he sees how he foiled the Plans of Robert for now. 
He will get his next Chance, but upsetting him is plenty.

On the other Hand, he is now really interest in the Woman they talk about. 
He doesn’t trust the rumours one bit, and plans to make himself a picture without any prejudice. 
Bit he at least hoped that Robert can discern different Genders.

As Waylon thinks about that, a figure approaches him. 
She winks at him from the distance, wanting something from him. 
As he turns around, he already has an suspicion that this could be interesting.
