Yggdrasil, is a popular DMMO-RPG or Dive Massive Multiplayer Online Role Play Game, for 12 years the game stand as the world top DMMO game due to its massive choice of character and built you could do, even making kingdoms-like guild or role play as anything you want, that level of player freedom and add the massive world map is the reason the game last for so long. But now that same game is in its last moment.
(9Liiiiiiiineeeeee break0)
There is 3 guild in the world that you don't want to mess with while you playing Yggdrasil. Raked from top to bottom is Servant of Paradise, an angel-type guild that style after "good" leaning and will mercilessly PK you if you mess with them. Ainz ool gown, a heteromorphic guild that, opposite of seraphim, is leaning toward "evil", also they too will PK you so hard and so often with little effort if you incur their wrath (that doesn't happen very often). Lastly is the Deth fleets a vampire-type guild that style themselves after pirate with load of guns and focus on necromancer and they will raid you till you broke.
These 3 guild is epitome of power, fame, and role play. They have annual war-like event called "war in heaven and hell". It was more toward Servant of Paradise and ainz ool gown battle each other with deth fleet continued harassment and attack as they are, well, pirate. These start with seraphim attacking nazarick great tomb witch is ainz ool gown guild base is then deth fleet coming from to "grab 'te loot".
Apparently all three guild having extreme fun in this situation so they make this event. And apparently the 'shitty devs' take notice and make it an annual event in game, so that how the event are born.
All three guild always have real fun doing it, so much so they dub this situation "war" on all three guild.
Unlike most player in game, there a strict rule on all three guild on rule PK like there levels, area, and lore wise.
Because of this event, the fanbase dub these three as 'faction' of Yggdrasil, even though it only happen during event 'war in heaven and hell'.

In the bleak white sky of Niflheim anchor the deth fleets, the flying undead ships give of eerie aura of ghost ship of legend. Unlike most guild, deth fleet have a moving fleets as their bases, that's why catching them is so difficult because they could just sail away. Add the fact that deth fleets is the only guild base that could contribute in large scale siege and battle via their massive cannon and countless other armament, the only downside is they cannot enter other guild air space so they usually just wondering around, sacking and generally being pirate.
The deth fleets is divided to 10 fleets that act just like stages ware you must beat all of them to get to the main fleet. The main fleet is ware all of the bases function locate, including the massive flagship. The deth fleets main flagship is enormous ship with 7 mast holding sheet after sheet of tater sail, it carries enough armament and ammunition to single handedly siege either Nazarick or Dayling fortress. Countless cannon, mortar, rifle Carrie in its rotten hull. By far this is the largest moving structure in the game. The name are the Black Death
On the ship are countless undead deckhand manning the ship under the watchful gaze of the lieutenant. On the back of the ship, on a raise platform oversight all the activity on the ship is a player. Her figure clad in blue almost black trechcoat that reach her feat with several belt crisscrossing her chest and left hand that appear to be glowing faintly from her white stained gloves, under the trechcoat she wear a fancy blue shirt with several tater in it exposing the white under shirt, the trechcoat itself appear to be tater on it bottom and decorated with intricate faded gold symbol of anchor on it right breast and trimmed with gold, not counting the faded gold that decorated her trechcoat. She wear a knee high-armor-infused boot and blue trouser with several leather belt around her mid-section to hold it. She wear a fancy tricorn hat with few blue-greenish feather on it right side. Her entire body is dead pale and her eyes are black with red iris and it look like it has been under sea for quite some time judge by greenish color from it clothes, her character face look like woman on her early twenty with heart shape face, frame by long white hair that reach her hip, and scar on her right cheek that look like it never heal properly, from her upper lip expose 2 pearly white fang.
She is Luther, the guild master of deth fleets, the first of the vampire, astromencer, the scourge of heaven and hell. A rank 2 player of the world and holder of title world devourer. She and her guild member made the deth fleets as much to their childhood fantasy, even as far to conquer all raid dungeon fleets and combine it to one fleet, the deth fleets.
It's been good time while it's last even though the fleets is massive, it only ever got to 37 member count and in the end only 4 remain active, the rest has either move on or too busy with their life. Then again IRL is more important than fantasy she not blame them, really, but when the 'shitty devs' announce the shutdown of Yggdrasil it hit them all, hard.
"*sigh* at least they have decency to gather for one last party" she smile when she think about it. In Yggdrasil character face is frozen and they only could express their emotion through emoji. Right now she stood upon the raise platform in the back of the ship near behind the helmsman. The party is more toward get together meeting, but it fun to everyone none the least. To think I play this game for 12 years is quite an achievement she originally play this game ever since she 7, when she old enough to play DMMO. She pick the game on it first month after it launch, hearing good comment from her friend about it.
"Now what to do, what to do?" she hum a little while opening her menu to see her fleet from bird eye view. Usually all 15 fleet is scatter all around Yggdrasil but for this time all fleet is together forming massive mothball death fleets. She hum for a while checking her menu, she notice who beside her, Marty, an NPC created by one of the member to act as flagship captain and last defense against invader, sadly no one ever reach this far. Design to look like old clash pirate of the 17 century, he have white ashen hair, pale skin, black and red eyes like Luthor but wear a tater royal navy admiral uniform from 17 century, except the wig and those ridicules make up and wear a tricorn hat that look like worse to wear. Accompany him is 3 other figure clad in all concealing black robe, all three holding whips and sword on their left and right hand, this is the siren of the deep, act as Marty lieutenants on keeping the flagship countless deckhand working, either by whips or song.
It sad that they really never see action, well this is last day better make them do something for once she tried to remember what command. "Ahh right, FOLLOW" with that she left the ramp and began to make her way to the interior of the ship. Most of the corridor on the flagship litter with trap and hidden passage, the fact that all corridor look and feel the same only make it worse.
She arrive at a peculiar door. This double door is made by enchanted black obsidian and engrave on its surface is picture of the fleets sail across the sky while a city is being attack by deckhands army sacking and killing all life on the city, on top of the picture lay deth fleets symbol. A anchor in the middle of red moon with one side encompass by rope and seaweed and the other side encompass by shipwreck that bind together by red muscle-like-tissue while at the bottom where the two side meet there a five pointed star color red and a parchment read Der Tod ruht nicht zu diesem Zweck meaning "the death do not rest for it only purpose is to serve".
She smile for a second before turn to face the NPCs "alright let's go" she open the door. Inside it is a room decorated with undead warrior wearing armor and holding halberd, the armor is deep green with glowing rune attached to it torso and shape just like serrated piece who hold together by jagged black obsidian stone, on it helmet ware it shape to look like various sea creature in place ware eyes shoulda been there only glowing green orb, signaling their status as undead. This are deth guard, more especially deep sea deth guard.
The room itself decorated with four massive lamp bolted to the wall with various symbols of guild member glowing on the flag attach to the ceiling, most of the room is cover by either more green and blue tater sail or exposed its rotten hull.
On the far back of the room lies black and green throne, made from deep stone. The jagged smooth surface clash with various bone and skull who litter it surface, on top of the throne engrave are deth fleet symbol, color with bright and glow like some powerful symbol of the old. Atop the throne, floating like some ominous relic are green-blue halberd with six jewel decorated it handle, it color faded a little while it blade shone with unholy glint, there are snake shape coil around it in the base of the blade and the pole arm itself decorated with various jewel and gold that is look like has lost it glitter away. Behind the throne hang a Jolly Roger flag with halberd and sword replacing the usual bone cross.
This is Eternal Deth, guild weapon of deth fleets. She smile fondly at the weapon, remembering the memories she and the guild do just to make it. Ahhh good time she reaches toward the weapon and the weapon itself glide toward her hand. When she touched it the halberd emit a bluish mist around itself before it disappear, leaving the weapon in Luther hand.
"Shame you never see action, real shame" she said before climb the small stair before her throne. She sat on the throne overseeing the entire room with the halberd hold beside her and the Jolly Roger flag behind her. This is her fantasy, being vampire pirate of untold power and riches. It's been fun for her, for her guild, for her friend, and even for her "enemy", at the end they all enjoy it.
She look at Marty and order them to kneel, he, the siren and the deep sea deth guard kneel instantly before her. Nod she began to drift to her own mind.

Hmm what this? The server not going down, are they delaying the shutdown or what? She thought before trying to open the game menu, only to find she can't. Confuse, she try to open her other menu, only to find the same result. Starting to panic she raise from the throne to. "Grand admiral are you okay" that word snap her from her panic to see Marty face contort to concern expression. "Do you need anything grand admiral?"
Holy hell he speak, HE SPEAK, and the face move, Yggdrasil do not have that kind of feature her panic began to raise again her hand already tremble, her sense seam sharper her eyes could see every little detail on Marty, she could hear the shambling of deckhands from above, the smell of rot and decay- WAIT, there is no smell function on the game! What in the name of the moon her panic mind began to scramble, she force her panic behind her. "Marty do you feel anything different? Anything seem out of the ordinary?"
"No grand admiral, I don't feeling anything different from the usual" she look at him for a second trying to find any sign of lie if he dare to lie to me I make him walk the pla-HOLD RIGHT THERE BRAIN WHY IN SEVEN SEA I MAKE HIM DO THAT! Aside from her mind trying to order him to die, again(which is really creepy by the way) she see nothing wrong, heck she even feel her heartbeat or lack of thereof, she only nod hearing it.
"Marty, take your lieutenant and scout the surrounding area of the fleets, raise the alarm of the fleets to the maximum and notice other admirals about the situation we currently in" she trying to think the reason of this situation right now before she completely lose her mind. Also that my voice?! Since when my voice sound like sexy-yet-rough, and I could feel my lips moving, what the hell?!.
"Yes grand admiral" he raise from her kneel and turn heading to out, his lieutenant following him. When she out of the door that when she collapse to the throne, holding the halberd across her and holding her head in confusion.
What the hell happen? NPCs suddenly look and act alive, the game not end and I cannot open my menu, what in the seven seas happen she thought before something hit her, she dont breath ever since this happen and she pretty sure her heart don't beat either. Surprisingly she didn't feel anything about it, no disgust, confusion or horror, just feeling like thing always like this.
"I need time to think" she raise and about to teleport when that hit her, since when did she know how to teleport. Slowly theory began to form on her mind, theory that terrify her. She push that aside, before she teleport she notice the guard still kneeling "er, raise" immediately they raise with mechanical like movement.
Creepy she teleport to her room to think. Her room are lavish with queen size bed, crystal chandelier, picture of the fleet sailing the sky and wardrobe on the side of her bed, the wall color dark green with occasional hole, this is undead ships raise from the bottom need to have that feel.
She just collapse to the bed and start screaming.

Marty concern about the grand admiral, she act like something big happen and it's not good from her reaction. But she order him and he will do it, even if it cost him his second life. Right now he in the way to the above deck, to scout around the fleet per grand admiral order.
Exit to the deck he sees deckhands shambling around doing various ship task under gave of strategically place lieutenant, he look around to see any anomaly, so far he sees nothing out of ordinary. He look to the side to see other ships on same condition, due to him being vampire he could see clearly for miles and hear thing clearer than that of the living.
After checking around the ship Marty decide that flying is the best course of action. "[Fly]" he say before lift from the deck to the sky, the sirens follow behind him. Flying around the fleets, using [massage] to inform various admirals of the fleet about the order. During his fly around the fleet he see nothing out of ordinary, the fleets still anchor on the pearly white cloud of the sky, the blue sky give of unusual feeling and the temperature is off, the usual chilling is gone replace by warm uneasy temperature. As undead vampire he have no problem about the temperature, but it very unusual that the sky of Niflheim is warm not bone chilling, even if it daytime.
This gave him very, VERY uneasy feeling. "Listen here, we going down past the cloud to see what with wrong, got it, good" he instantly plunge past the cloud barrier, the cloud is surprisingly thick, it take him a moment to break the cloud. What he discover shock him.
The cold dead mountain is replace by vast ocean, he look around frantically to see where they are but he see nothing other than vast Blue Ocean. he surpass the panic inside him, after all the captain of the Black Death do not panic, and order his sirens "you three scramble around, see everything around don't go too far from the fleet range, I want this area scout" he shout at the sirens who nod before sped around three different direction.
Marty only could see blue vast sea, the feeling of uneasy return. Whatever or whoever did this, transporting entirety of 10 deth fleets together to entirely new location is unheard of. The grand admiral feeling are true, this is worrying, deeply worrying. For the first time since he created, he feeling very, VERY worry. The grand admiral must have answer of this situation, cause he have no bloody idea of what in the name of seven bloody sea happen.
