Search for a Missing Friend

The events after the massacre at the Katze Plains by the Sorcerer King Ainz Ooal Gown, will forever go down in history as the beginning of his reign. With the total control over the trade city of E-Rantel and the surrounding lands, Ainz now controls 1/10th of the human nations on the surface, but controls 1/3rd of those nations from the shadows. The false hero Momon has the respect of the entire adventurer's guild, as well as the Re-Estise Kingdom and the Baharuth Empire. Also, with the help of the Eight Fingers organization gathering influence from the shadows, the weakened noble and royal factions false rule over the Kingdom is only permitted due to the kindness of Ainz Ooal Gown. These events that have taken place over the last two years are a great accomplishment for Ainz, but his greatest achievement will be the day he finds his old friends in this new world.

With the help of Albedo, Nazarick's strongest team was created in order to find other supreme beings or other players that may have come to this new world. The odds for success seemed nonexistent, but Ainz Ooal Gown does not know defeat and he will continue to search for his friends. He just knew one of them had to be out there lost and alone.

"The name of Ainz Ooal Gown shall be known throughout the lands. A beacon for my friends." Said Ainz.

Before the server shutdown, his friend General Chill, one of the few non-Japanese people in the guild, was online during the final minutes of the game, but he wasn't in the Tomb of Nazarick like Momonga. He was in a completely different location.

"The Sea Labyrinth" was an underground maze with spring water that would fill the labyrinth waist high on full moon nights. The water would glow this wonderful bright blue causing the flowers, trees, and the enemies to glow with such wonderful colors. The middle of this place was an oak tree on a dirt mound with flowers growing around it. The tree is an area boss that attacks only when attacked itself, and is surrounded by blue roses and with the glow of the water made the tree radiate with life. It was Chill's favorite spot in the game. It was here where the newly made guild of Ainz Ooal Gown saved him from being hunted and PKed, and afterward had joined their guild.

The final minutes before the server shutdown General Chill messaged Momonga, thanking him for all the wonderful times they had spent together in his American southern accent. Having being taught a few English lessons by Chill, Momonga had also thanked him.

Momonga begins telling him how he changed Albedo's settings from "slut" to "madly in love" with Momonga. Chill begins laughing and being the fun guy that he is, he asked if he could do the same with Yuri Alpha, and Momonga agreed adding to her settings "in love with General Chill". The two begin laughing over the silly joke.

However, in a serious tone Chill mentions not to touch the battle maids Lupusregina Beta, CZ2128 Delta, Narberal Gamma, and Solution Epsilon, as they were his so-called "children". He had set it to where they would call him "papa" or "dad" whenever he gave them an order. In the real world, Chill was a full-time medical student, and although he always wanted kids he didn't have the time nor the money to raise a family. So he made those girls to fill that void, and in some ways it was quite sad and in others it was quite cute when you stop to think about it.

General Chill said his final goodbyes to Momonga and disconnected the message. He then rested his avatar next to the tree that was surrounded by flowers. It'll be the last time he'll be able to look upon this beautiful place so he closed his eyes and looked at the countdown as he waited for the end.

[23:59:55, 56, 57, 58, 59]

[00:00:00, 01, 02, 03...]

The countdown went up as it faded from his view and he then spoke to himself in confusion. "Did they push back the server shutdown?" He stood up to look around, and as he was about to contract Momonga he suddenly felt very sleepy and heavy. Then he saw roots slowly grab him and slowly placed him back onto the ground. Just then the voice of an elderly woman spoke.

"The end is here for me but through you I will live".

Chill looks around with his eyes, and with his final bit of strength he sees the oak tree withering away. Chill was a very stubborn person, and with that stubbornness it gave him enough strength to say one last line.

"You...can't...tell...me..what...to..do..."

He lost consciousness and there he slept for two years in a cocoon of roots and stayed that way for two years. Meanwhile, Ainz would begin his conquest of the world with the forces of Nazarick at his command.
