《I Was Monster Once, Now I Am Human》Modern Mafia In This Modern World (Part - 1)
Advertisement
[After School, In Albert's Room. Evening ]
My name is, Albert Neslete and I am a monster, well, used to be. I have been reborn to a new world, where magic (supposedly) does not exist, as a human.
To be honest, I hate humans. I despise humans. though reasons might have changed, I still hate them. I used to hate humans 'cause of their greeds and pursuit of domination on everything else. But, now that I, myself have become one of them; I came to understand, why they were doing what they were doing. It is their emotions that drives them mad. It is their 'Brain' that sometimes just malfunction, I guess. I know that because that also happened to me a while back.
At that time, my mind went blank... I acted without my conscious thoughts; it felt like an instinct but it is more than that. In any case, this is taking a while
This is how I spend my free time, reminding myself of who I am, A monster. Currently, I am waiting for my annoying father to call me. I have a lot of questions to ask him. So, I asked Diana to call me when he comes home.
" Young Master, Master is calling for you. He waiting in Guest Room " Diana came to the door and said, and my wait was over. By the way, she refers to me with 'Young Master' if she has to include my father in her conversation. Though, why guest room? What is my annoying doing there?
" Okay, let's go. Diana."
So, I walked along with Diana to the guest room. As I opened the door of the room, I saw my father on the sofa accompanying one more person, that person was David from my High school. David was sitting on the sofa beside my father, He is not someone I would like to talk to. Besides, I have a few personal questions to ask my father and I cannot ask those question in front of David.
"Oh, Albert! My son, We were waiting for you. " Said my annoying father with an annoying smile on his face. He looks at David " You must have already met David at your school. He represents the Kichiro family in place of Adger Kichiro. He is here for you. By the way, I heard you wanted to talk to me, oh... Is it time? Have you finally admitted defeat to my love for you? Are you finally ready to give me hug and sleep with father? " When David heard those words, Even though he had an aura of a cool guy until now, it vanished and a disgusting look appeared on his face towards my father. I am so ashamed... Father, when will you finally grow up? I am the only one who grew so far!? "Hmmm? David, What's wrong? " Father asked David when he noticed disgusting look David was giving.

"Oh, It's nothing. I just realized, Rumors that I had heard from Adger were true. Even if those rumours sounded so... Unbelievable. It must be tough on your son, I mean; being the only heir of Neslete family and having the responsibility to make such a hard decision " David responded to father while trying to hide the disgust he felt from my annoying father. This is why I have been avoiding my father.
" Eh...no, you don't need to worry about it, David. My son is pretty capable if I say myself so. " Father said as he smirks. " That is why I left everything to him regarding our family's decisions. You might think, it is my love for my son that I am doing what I am doing and leaving such crucial decision to him but that is not the case, even if I love my son; I cannot simply hand over the family to him just cause he is the heir. You met him before, right? You should know what I am talking about. " When my father was going on about all that, It didn't feel like he would finish talking until the sun disappears and David noticed that, so, He interrupted and said during my father's words " Uncle! We here for something else, you know right. Could we talk about important things here, perhaps? " David said.
And my father " Oh, yeah, right. About that. Ahem... " His expressions changes and now, for the first time, he looked somewhat serious about something " Albert, come over here. Sit with me. " He said and since I heard David saying there is something important here to talk about, I complied and sat down with my father. But when it comes to my father, I have my doubts about these 'Important talk' though
"So? " I asked both of them " What it is, and what are you here for, David? " David pulls a gun out from his back and puts it on the table. It was the same gun which he had pointed at me previously. And my father, He does the same. I never knew he had a gun on him but what surprised more was, Diana. From out of nowhere, she also pulls a gun out and it wasn't a handgun, it was a machine-gun. She throws that machine-gun on the floor instead of putting it on the table. Is this some sort of manners in the human world that I don't know of? and why does Diana has a gun? since I didn't have a gun or anything, I sat in the silence. David looks at my father, and my father nods his head saying " He doesn't have one. "

"Okay, then, Let's talk. " David responds and then, he went on saying " Albert, I know that you still unaware of your position and situation and that is why, You asked for time, Am I wrong?... " He asks me but before I could answer, He continues with his talk and I simply listened to what he had to say " Of course, I am not. I am gonna explain everything to you in front of an uncle, I mean; your father. I can't lie about anything since your father is here and this is why I came here. So, you won't have a problem with believing what I have to say " David said with a calm manner unlike before, He wasn't desperate about it anymore " Let's start from the beginning. As you know, there are certain families in our country; The most powerful families are, Kichiro family and yours, Neslete family though there are other families. We will only talk about our families, for now. first of all, you might be wondering what are families that I am talking about since there isn't anything about them in text-books; A family is a group of people or an actual family that control a certain region in the country or a city. " David said and I was sitting there, in front of him. listening to what was he saying, David, looks at me and doubt my interests in what he was going on about "Hmm... Go on" Even if I had no interests in his words, He had no choice but to continue Well, He cannot simply leave the subject now, can he? This is a professional talk, isn't it?
In any case, He explained everything to me, which took him considerable time. I'll sum it up for myself
Families are a bunch of humans, wannabe kings. At the top of the families is the leader, or you could say, Head of the family. His words are absolute but if the families suffer from great loss because of the leader, He will lose the respect from his own family and at some point, also his position as the head or leader. My father is at that point, He is about to lose his position to me. This is why even though I am young, I have no choice but to take over the family.
About Kichiro family; David didn't go in the details but, what is happening right now in Neslete family, has already taken place in kichiro family so, now the new head of Kichiro family is Adger Kichiro. That's all he said.
A family is more-less like the mafia that I read about in the novels. There is a difference though, Even if Mafia has some morals and set rules, they are not that strict though. When it comes to a family, these families have some really strict rules and codes, about the way they conduct. A family is more about justice even among evil than violence. This families all sound like a lord controlling a certain region in my previous world.
"This is beyond what I had imagined, really. " I mumbled to myself and David must have heard these words since he said " This is not all, Albert. You are ignoring something, or more like you are ignoring a whole family. You know, I am from Kichiro family and you are from Neslete family. "
One single region doesn't need two lords, uh?
" We have problems... Care to elaborate, David? " I asked David. Today, I am here to learn so, I don't intend to question anything he says and he was smart enough to bring my father in all of this. He analyzed me in our first meeting and went as far as to point a gun at me to do so. The way I responded there to his threat is what makes me who I am in his eyes. Even if my father had to say something this serious to me, I would probably doubt him and would never truly believe him. A monster wouldn't simply trust humans, the race who betrayed him and stabbed his back.
I still had my doubts but it was about to change, What David was about to say; that opened my eyes and it made realize, How serious the situation is.

Re: Dragonize
After an unexpected turn of events, Drew must now survive in a world full of challenges with life-or-death stakes. Gone are the days when the biggest problems to face were awkward small-talk at physics department luncheons or mountains of lab work; this former physicist is now adrift in an unfamiliar land without any equipment. Now, Drew's only tool (if it can be called that) is a System, which provides constant reminders of all of the things that are still out of reach for a low-level being who's just arrived in a new world. Luckily, Drew has one powerful asset when taking on the challenges of this new world: surviving violent conflict is a lot easier when you have the power of a dragon at your disposal. Still, Drew has always considered violence a last resort. Why turn to fists (or claws) when a bit of quiet consideration might expose a better path forward? Maybe a life of quiet contemplation is still within reach for this former academic researcher. ...Or maybe not. It probably won't be a life of bloodless pacifism. Additional information for those who wish to calibrate their expectations (I'm adding this based on a few comments I received from readers who feel that the story is not what they expected from a dragon-themed story): Re: Dragonize is not a power fantasy -- or at least, it's not intended to be one. Re: Dragonize is a progression fantasy starting with a protagonist who must start at the bottom (or close to it), and work gradually upwards, making incremental progress with plenty of setbacks along the way. The protagonist, as someone coming from the world of academia, tends to be cautious, methodical, and contemplative. As such, expect this story to contain more than a few digressions as the main character takes the time to pontificate on a variety of topics ranging from Newtonian physics and horology to the nature of existence and the ethical dilemmas associated with being an obligate carnivore.
