LEVEL EVERYTHING UP in my Eldritch Tribe

Lyerin stood tall, his body still as he stared at Yasira, who was crumpled on the ground before him, her eyes burning with hatred.

The scene around them was one of desolation, but Lyerin's excitement was palpable.

He let out a long, deep breath, his lips curling into a mischievous grin.

"Yasira," he said, his voice low but dripping with a strange playfulness, "hand me the microphone."

Yasira's brow furrowed. She looked at him, confusion flickering across her bruised face. "What are you talking about?"

Lyerin laughed, his tone mocking.

"The microphone, Yasira. Let me speak to them all. Let me speak to every Earthling." He stretched out his hand, his fingers twitching with anticipation.

Reluctantly, Yasira complied.

She tapped into her console, connecting the communication line to every available device on Earth.

Once the connection was made, she handed Lyerin the microphone, her eyes narrowing with suspicion. "What are you planning?"

Lyerin's grin widened. He brought the mic to his lips, his voice immediately booming across every screen, speaker, and communication line on Earth.

"To all Earthlings," he began, his voice smooth, calculated, and carrying a tone of mock gratitude, "I want to thank you. Really, I do. I want to thank each and every one of you for destroying the Borgias Family. You've done me a great service—truly, you have."

Across Earth, people froze in place, staring at their screens as Lyerin's voice echoed throughout cities, towns, and villages.

Some gasped, others looked around in confusion. But the message was undeniable: Lyerin was addressing the entire planet.

"But," Lyerin continued, his grin becoming more sinister, "you do realize, don't you? Some of them escaped. You didn't get them all."

The words hung in the air like a dark cloud, and a murmur rippled through the masses.

The thought that the Borgias Family wasn't completely gone sent waves of unease across the planet.

"You know them, don't you?"

Lyerin's voice took on a mocking tone.

"The Borgias Family. You know what they're like, how they operate. They never forgive. And even if I manipulated you into destroying them, even if I pushed you to take down their power, they will never forgive you. Hahahahaha!"

The maniacal laughter that followed was chilling. It reverberated across the world, making even the most hardened of listeners uneasy.

"And do you know what's worse?" Lyerin paused for dramatic effect, his tone growing darker.

"The Borgias Family… they only get stronger when they are hidden. The more unknown they are, the more dangerous they become. That's their secret. That's their strength.

"So, my advice to all of you? If you have any sense left, I suggest you start looking for them now. Before they come for you."

Panic started to ripple through the population.

Faces across the planet filled with concern and fear. Whispers filled every corner of Earth—people questioning, doubting, and fearing what was to come.

The Borgias Family, the powerful, feared, and now supposedly growing stronger in the shadows… it was enough to send shivers down the spines of even the most powerful individuals.

Lyerin's voice broke through the rising chaos.

"And let me tell you something about the awakening of spirits," he added, a sneer in his voice.

"You're all chasing it, aren't you? You want to awaken your families, your cults, your communities. You want the power, the strength that comes with having a spirit. But here's the thing—I won the survival game."

Stay connected with m|vl|e|mp|y|r

The words hit hard, confusion mixing with the fear spreading throughout the population.

Lyerin let out a soft chuckle, reveling in the control he held over the Earthlings. He continued,

"That means you're all going to awaken spirits naturally. Yes, all of you. Every family, every cult, every little community with enough ambition. And you know why? It was funny, I told you the secret. I told you where to find it.

The Borgias Family. It was a lie haha!"

His laughter grew louder, more sinister.

"I manipulated you into destroying them, so you could all chase after their power for me! You see, I knew if I dangled that in front of you, you would tear them apart without hesitation. And now, look at what you've done."

Lyerin's voice grew cold, mocking, as he drove his point home.

"But here's the thing you all missed… the Borgias Family is strongest when they are few. The fewer they are, the more dangerous they become. I didn't tell you that part, did I? So, congratulations, Earthlings. You've just made them into an even bigger problem for yourselves."

Gasps echoed across cities, as people began to realize the true nature of Lyerin's manipulation.

The Borgias, fewer in number but exponentially more dangerous, would now be an even greater threat.

"And why did I do all of this?" Lyerin's tone shifted, as if he were about to let them in on a grand secret. "Because, in their strongest, most dangerous form, I want to be the one to crush them."

He paused, savoring the silence, letting the gravity of his words sink in before delivering the final blow.

"I want to defeat them when they are at their peak. When they are at their most powerful, their most feared. And that's exactly what you've done for me. So thank you."

The madness in his voice was unmistakable, his excitement palpable as he neared the end of his address.

"So, I suggest you all tighten your seatbelts because the Borgias Family is coming, and they won't forgive any of us."

Lyerin's voice dropped to a whisper, barely audible, but still filled with a chilling amusement. "And as for me? I'll be waiting at their peak, ready to destroy them myself."

He let out one final, maniacal laugh, sending shivers down the spines of those still listening.

The world stood still as Lyerin's insane energy filled the airwaves, every person on Earth now fully aware of the storm he had unleashed.

"And with that," Lyerin concluded, his voice returning to a casual, almost indifferent tone, "that's all. Bye."

He dropped the microphone, his grin still plastered across his face as he turned to Yasira, who was staring at him in stunned silence.

The connection was severed.

The entire planet was left in shock, the echoes of Lyerin's words still reverberating across every corner of Earth.

As Yasira watched Lyerin's satisfied expression, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Lyerin had just played a game with the fate of an entire planet, and in that moment, she realized there was no telling just how far he was willing to go.

However, one thing was clear.

This Lyerin, this human, is indeed a madman!
