Peace of the Devil
An Overlord Fanfiction
Prologue
In southwest of the city E-Rantel, there is a huge plain called Katze plain.
Once, katze plains were a large open plain that was inhabited by people but eventually became battle ground where armies of both Re-Estize kingdom and Baharuth Empire choose to fight their annual wars.
Because high amount of casualties sustained by both sides every year in their annual war, the place become a hot spot for undead creature to spawn.
Now it is nothing more than a large empty plain surrounded by permanent fog that blankets whole area with few old buildings scattered around and in ruin due to numerous fights between the nations as well people fighting countless undead.
The fog surrounds the plains registers as a form of life form. As a result detection magic against undead is useless to use in this area and many people fell due ambush o the undead.
Despite the for blankets the plains all year around for some reason whenever these two countries come to fight, the fog lift up as if welcoming the death that would arrive due the war.
At this moment, Katze Plains once again lift it fog to welcoming the death.
As if it understands that this time the death will be higher, the fog disappears like never exist before.
Katze Plain
"Is this a dream?"
The Kingdom's soldiers muttered to each other, some distance from the inhuman demons. Of course, nobody could answer them. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the scene unfolding before them, and they had lost the power of speech. It was as if their souls had been snatched away.
"Hey, this is a dream, right? I must be dreaming, right?"
"Ahh. This is a fucking nightmare."
The second time the question was asked, some people managed to answer. But their responses carried a hint of wanting to run away from reality.
It was impossible.
They didn't want to believe it.
Thoughts like these spread through the infantry. Even as the lumbering shapes grew steadily larger, even as the inhuman beings approached them, they still did not want to accept that this was reality.
If they were simple monsters, perhaps they might have gathered the courage to raise their weapons. However, the things that had appeared after an army of 70.000 had been slaughtered in an instant could not possibly be simple monsters. It was like watching an advancing hurricane, and nobody could muster up the courage to brave the storm.
The gigantic, yet unnaturally swift beings galloped on their thick stubby legs, charging at incredible speeds.
"Get your spears up!"
A voice rang out.
It came from the mouth of a noble, a shrill, high-pitched scream that was a falsetto born of desperation. His eyes were bloodshot and foam flecked the corners of his mouth.
"Spears up! Get your spears up! Get your spears up if you want to live!"
Although he had already lost his mind from fear and it was hard to understand what he was saying, he was still able to clearly utter the command "Spears up". In retrospect, that was probably the best command he could have given.
Acting on reflex, the soldiers raised and set their spears, forming a braced spear line.
They planted the butts firmly on the ground, so their opponents' speed would only harm themselves when they charged into the hedge of points.
Although this formation was nigh-unbreakable by Imperial knights, the Kingdom soldiers wondered —in some small, detached corner of their minds which still held onto lucidity— what good they could possibly do with the tiny spears they were grasping. Perhaps they thought this was their only chance of salvation.
It was impossible to flee from under the hooves of the creatures that approached with unnatural speed. Even if they ran with all their strength, they would still be trampled into red mush.
Wishing as one that the monsters would not come for them, the soldiers braced their spears and awaited the charge.
The monsters —which should have been very small in the distance— closed the gap with unbelievable speed.
As they grew larger, and the earth began shaking under their thunderous hoofbeats, the soldiers' hearts began pounding madly.
Then, as their hearts felt like they would burst in their chests, the enormous silhouettes appeared before their eyes.
It was like a dump truck smashing into a swarm of rats.
The soldiers of the Kingdom's army raised their spears with trembling hands. But what use were they against the massive, solid bodies of the Dark Young? The spears snapped like toothpicks without so much as scratching their monstrous hides.
The Dark Young trampled the bodies of the Kingdom's soldiers underfoot.
Countless splinters from a multitude of shattered spears flew through the air.
Although they crushed the resistance that did not even count as resistance, the Dark Young of the Black Goat were merciful in their own way.
There was no pain.
There was no time for their victims to suffer before they were squashed flat under the titanic weight of the Dark Young.
The spear-wielding soldiers didn't even have time to realize that the pikes they were holding had been pulverized into splinters. All they saw were black shadows appearing before them.
They screamed and they screamed and they screamed.
Gobbets of meat flew through the air. They had not come from just one or two people, but tens, hundreds of victims. They were trampled by the enormous hooves, and thrown— no, flung away by the waving tentacles.
Be they patricians or plebeians, now they were all the same chunks of bloody flesh.
Some of them had family in their villages. Some had friends left behind. Some had people waiting for them. Once their unrecognizable corpses were ground into the mud, none of that mattered any more.
To everyone, the Dark Young gave the same, equal treatment — death.
They crushed countless humans underfoot with their hooves until they were satisfied by the bloodshed, but even then they had no intention of stopping.
The Dark Young of the Black Goat began to run.
They ran on. They would not stop while in the middle of the Kingdom's forces.
"Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
"Abbaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
"Stoooooooooooooop!"
"Save meeeeeeeeeee!'
"Noooooooooooooooo!"
"Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!"
The screams rose up every time the hooves came down. It mixed with the wet pulping sound of the bodies mangled under the mighty hooves of the Dark Young, and their thick, meaty tentacles flailed around in a wild, playful manner that sent human bodies flying with sickening cracks.
A sound never heard before went on and on without end.
Trampled.
What better word was there to describe this scene?
Several people desperately thrust their pikes forward. The Dark Young, whose bodies were massive and who had no intention to evade the attacks, were hit solidly by the points. However, the pikes could not pierce deeply enough to cause harm to their slab-like bodies. It was as though iron-hard muscles had been sheathed by thick, rubbery skin.
Without mocking their futile resistance, the Dark Young advanced single-mindedly.
Before the soldiers realized that their fatal resolve was meaningless, the Dark Young had already reached the centermost portion of the Kingdom's army.
"Run away! Run away!"
They heard the shouts from the distance. In response, all the soldiers began to flee. It was exactly like a swarm of spiders scattering in all directions.
But of course, the Dark Young were much faster than human beings.

The sounds of humans being trampled into a pulp, the sound of meat chunks flying through the air, and the sound of the screaming continued on and on.
One thing that no one realize is somewhere in the carnage, buried underground there is a coffin.
However this coffin is not ordinary coffin.
This coffin actually a world class item- [sacrifice prison]
This coffin will absorb the user life as sacrifice then seal the target for certain amount of time. Amount of time sentence is depending the user and the victim's karma. The stronger the user make the sentence longer- in fact, the more life used as sacrifice also increasing the sentence. After being used, the coffin will automatically buried.
When a player being caught by this item he/she will only see deep black darkness, he/she cant move or hear anything. They must keep online in the darkness to be released.
For example- if a player getting 8 hour sentence, he/she must keep online and wait in the darkness for 8 hours. Of course that player is allowed to log off. So- if that player log off after keep online for 2 hour, next time he/she online he/she still must endure another 6 hours before released.
In YGGDRASIL, a senior player quit the game because he is caught by this coffin and got sentence for 720 hours. After confirming his account delete, the item went back to YGGDRASIL.
There is no doubt that this item is one of the most annoying items in YGGDRASIL.
However there are two methods to decreasing the sentence. The first method is using cash item while the other method is covering the area where the coffin burried with fear, despair and death.
Usually when a YGGDRASIL player being caught by this thing, he/she will log off and tell his/hes friend to come to that area to use some fear inflicting spell, or killing other player/monster.
Unbeknownst for Ainz Ooal Gown that with all death, fear, despair he caused would greatly shortening sentence of the current inhabitant of [sacrifice prison]. Annual war between the kingdom and the empire also shortening the sentence but not as much as what Ainz does.
Slowly, a ripple began to forming in the ground and a coffin emerges from the ground.
The coffin shaped like usual hexagonal coffin with black color with a platinum ornament shaped a woman screaming in agony being binded by chain and pierced by nail. The coffin releasing huge amount of purplish black terrifying aura.
Very huge to make most of people in Katze Plain realize it including a certain elder lich in somewhere.
"Hn... this feeling"
Ainz Ooal Gown suddenly feels very large pressure.
He heard a rumor stating that an Evil god supposedly being sealed here though he didnt know where the exact place.
Back then- after Fluder Paradyne betray the empire to follow him, fluder told him some secret that fluder held
"one of the evil deity was still alive, however she was sealed in though i dont know where is the exact place. It said she command countless of demon and her domain is the most beautiful castle ever made"
"Is that so?"
"Not only she's one of the strongest evil deities but also the one with most knowledge"
This caught Ainz interest. From Fluder description, very high chance that she is a player
"So who is her name?"
"Yomi"
Somewhere in the darkness
As far I see there is only darkness. No light, no land, no other people. I am the only one here
Beside me there is a hourglass with time that keep decreasing. When the number is 0, I will be released. After I am ended here, my only activity is watching the number decreasing. The current number is…
8.764 hour 14 minutes 6 second
Back then when I briefly ended here- I immediately realize the item that bitch use on me
Sacrificial coffin.
How could I realize this? Its because the hourglass and story about a senior player quitting YGGDRASIL is very famous to the point leading this item being hunted. The only benefit for the victim is after sentence ended, this item will become his/her.
That means approximately 1 year till I am released and this item becoming mine.
Now that I think about it back then the time is 1.684.452 hour 0 minutes 0 second which meant its nearly 2 century since im here.
Crazy right?
How an ordinary librarian ended with that amount of sentence.
Okay… I lied- sorry
Even its true I'm a librarian but the word ordinary is a huge lie.
I think this is already late for introducing myself but… well
Whatever…
I already abandoned my real name and began to using my game name- even though after some time in the new world I began to using a fake name and for some reason other people keep giving me some weird name or title. Let just call me Yomi.
You might already realize but I am a YGGDRASIL player. I played as a heteromorphic race devil but like most of the heteromorphic player it didn't ended well because some racist.
At first I only play YGGDRASIL game because my doctor said its good for mental health.
After some incident with human racist I decide to join a PK guild to revenge. Unfortunately they seemed have grudge and decide to slaughter whole guild- I mean PK.
Even though that's some bad memories but I still love this game and enjoy it
I falling in love with this game however YGGDRASIL must ended and that is leading me to this new world.
Unfortunately this new world is a lot weaker than YGGDRASIL and because of this (also the fact that I am no longer human) I'm being hated and antagonized by humans no matter how harmless I am.
Because they keep antagonizing me and attacking me, I've been forced to self defense.
What make it worse is I'm also encountering other player who acts hostile to me. Because they also attacking me, I decided to kill them all. After that I've been known as evil god (I wonder how they reach that conclusion)
For better or worse my meeting with certain man change it all. He make me realize how this world works. So I decide to take some land, turn it into my domain so they will never bothering me again.
They should know that nothing good happen if they meet a devil.
How can they didn't know? They were the one who said
"Demon: Those who use violence to bring about destruction.
Devil: Those who use their intelligence to bring about depravity."
I am a devil so I belongs second category.
After I heard that word, I think devil is more dangerous.
Yet rather than leave me alone, they prefer to attack me without reason. So I answer it with war (of course I won- and I got the peace I want).
Then the latest player arrive and being held as a hero.
Because we have same origin, I think maybe we can negotiate but they answer it with a war- and that war resulting me in this prison.
After a long time capable using magic, this magic-less prison really killing me
I cant even stand here- only floating around waiting for the sentence end.
With nothing but a hourglass- after some time, watching the hourglass becoming my habit
After watching the slowly decreased number for quite long, suddenly I feel excited- like a child who got their early birthday present.
Being devil for a quite long time of course I know what that sensation is.
When I calmed down- I found that numbers on the hourglass decreasing a lot.
It didn't happen again after some time.
After that sensation happen for a second time, I decide to have a research.
I want to know how to predict this sensation because this decreasing the sentences a lot.
So I calculate the time- after it happened thrice
This sensation happen each 8000+, it means once a year and it consume 3000-4000 hour.
I decide to call this despair reduction.
bad naming sense-i know
Why?
All because my race
A Devil of Pride
this is very useful for a high level player because this race increasing damage against lower level enemies however the damage got weaker if against higher level enemies and didn't have any effect if against same level enemies.
Because I'm a level 100 player, I think no one stronger than me or same level if you are a player.
After arriving in this world, not only can feel other people fear, despair, death that also got me excited-not horny way
So the reason I call this 'despair reduction' because I got same sensation when I see/feel other people fear or despair. And this also lessens my despair.
When I busy with my thought despair reduction happen again
However this is not like before. The usual is pale if compare with this time.
"Run away! Run away!" "Iyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" "Abbaaaaaaahhhhhh!" "Stoooooooooooooop!" "Save meeeeeeeeeee!' "Noooooooooooooooo!" "Uwaaaaaaaaaaaaahh!" "Sttooopp iittt!" "I beg you!" "Mother!"
But I can feel the despair
Smells of death
Ahhnn~…. This is really exciting
I cant stop enjoying it
This sensation really drive me crazy
I feel my body tremble in happiness
I feel warm liquid flowing in my cheeks
I feels like being embraced in very warm light
Its very comforting – very calm
"Its – Its a BLISS"
It feels like when you see your lover after separated for years
It feels like when your first child being delivered
Or whatever it is
As I see the hourglass
8.764 hour 13 minutes 28 second
8.351 hour 34 minutes 23 second
7.963 hour 45 minutes 11 second
7.566 hour 41 minutes 50 second

0 hour 0 minutes 0 second
When the count drop to 0
I see hexagonal light in front of me – from the size and shape I think its same as the coffin itself
My body still shaking happiness as I feel the light begin to pulling me
As the light draw closer – my life as devil suddenly flashing inside my mind
I remember it
Its all their fault… those damn humans
Is it my wish is too much?
I didn't ask for huge castle
I didn't ask for large army
I didn't ask for humans Extinction
I didn't ask for world domination
"Ahn…. Right. Its all started at the last day of YGGDRASIL-"
To be continued
Ahh…to think this will took that much of time.
