Authors note: I don't own either Naruto or overlord respectively
So I decided to try my hand at this second story first warning for language, gore, some suggestive themes there however well be no lemons or limes in this story. I'm not too good at writing those to begin with .also I have contacted two beta readers and gotten no response since last year in October to this year so I don't want to hear any whining about unless you know someone can acutely get back to me with in a month or just reply back in general. But wise just know I'm looking.
With out of the way I may jump this up to m rating if I get to any part I think could get too dark let face it overlord is a dark story the farther you get in to it. But for now it will be t rating for reference I won't be using the main map used by overlord (the area Aizn Ooal Gown and Nazarick is at) .but an island or continent is on the same plant. But I won't say to much more. So this is in response to a challenge as well by Unknown567 .ant-overlord challenge here it is for it so my guild master appears her alone separated from his base. First he must find his guild base with surprises popping up along the way. But they won't just be sitting idle either. The NPCs of this guild base well be moving around as well. They won't encounter Ainz or Nazarick at least not till the much later possibly in a sequel if I get far
on a side note for any one wondering about my first story I'm working on it but it has been slow gone and this will possible help speed up.
Chapter 1 part 1 New beginnings
In many ways watching the sea wave's rush up to the shore was a comfort and disparaging crashing into each other to leave a bittersweet feeling in her chest like the fume and bobble when the waves crashed. Not resolving the conflict yet easing it for a time. a frown set on over her lips blue eyes scanning over the waters. How long had it been now winding up being born here in sense they were an anomaly because they could clearly remember being born yet at the same time.
They could remember living another life one where they were a boy running around trying to be leader a hokage. Learning to be a ninja fighting through dangerous mission, giant snakes, some raccoon dog sand thing. Then fighting his friend, his brother and his rival in all but blood. The flash of memory of being stabbed in the heart almost made her miss the tug on the pool quickly pulling up as the fish came flying out of the clear water in to her hand.
Blonde hair swaying with almost perfect reaction time something the other villagers praised her for her trained reaction time. And her unnatural fighting ability something she got from her memories bring back a somber mood to her. Remembering always made her sad, angry and unsure especially about this second life. In the past she was hated despised even no matter what she did. Here she was just a rather strange village girl help out the village as best she could. Not hate liked even partly because of how strong and reliable she was here and now.
"Think you have enough fish already Naruko"
Glancing back at the cheerful voice seeing a blond haired girl run up looking younger smiling behind her. Unconcerned by the kunai in Naruko's hand as it drew back not any of the villagers though much of it. Other than a strange if not natural reaction to being snuck up on. In a village so close to the Sakura forests one inhabited by many spiders and monsters.
Looking other at the two pails of fish next to her almost overflowing with fish realizing she must not have noticed. Once she got in her zone everything around her just vanished a comfort if she was to be honest.
"I didn't notice did you need something being out here so early Elles"
Getting a strange look from her sister before giggling at Naruko confusion "silly it's almost noon I came out here to get you remember we are having a picnic once were done with chores today"
Smiling at this unlike past life as she call it here she had a loving family if not poor farmers and fishermen working hard every day to survive out in the wilds. Picking up her to pales of fish casting preservation magic one them as they glowed lightly.
Her sister pouted slightly "you still need to teach me how to do"
Giggle at the younger sibling how could she explain being was just born with those spell along with a few other tricks like shadow clone and shadow shirken. Not she had shared what would they even say to it. Though perhaps the biggest block was fear of being looked at with those eyes again didn't want her to exist.
"Maybe later after lunch aright"
Elles grow a big smile at grabbing her arm and practical dragging her along. Running back to the village. Coming in to view unlike hidden village this one had no buildings bigger than one story other than one or two watchtowers. Though it seems poor in comparison made of simple and plane design but it was home.
Naruko stop sensing something near them as a rather tall person stepped in to view standing about eight feet tall clad in fine robs of a noble and bits of metal over the shoulders and forearms. But most notably instead of human legs they were standing on what looked like four spider legs. Then looking at their face six eyes meant two as they smiled and waved at them. Long tentacle like hair framing the head.
Despite being unarmed she could clearly see under the robes and fine clothes were patches of some kind resembled seal from her past life only with different colors lines on the edges. Just looking at this monster Naruko could feel the power rolling off them in suffocating waves.
All her sense warned her to not fight this creator or she would lose panicking but not showing it. Keeping her sister behind her carefully watching the man spider was he a demi human or some kind of demon unsure what to do.
"Hello I appear to be lost could you tell me where we are"
This caught both of them by surprise most demi humans or monster didn't just come up and say hello let alone talk to them. But looking closer at the handsome man spider who was just standing there as if waiting for a response from them. After a few minutes of awkward silence finally Naruko respond.
"We are near the Wingston village in the quarry throne kingdom mister um...
Observing at the man spider seemed to think on confused looking around settling back on to them answering her question
"Nyarken Shadowend thought if seems to long just Nyarken will do"
Throughout this exchanged she noted the lack of hostile intent in fact if anything Nyarken seem uncertain how he even got here. She know the look well because of the other memories of her if not one noticed it at the times she was. Than as if sensing both of their discomfort he seemed to realize something.
"Oh sorry I forgot NPC'S can freak out a little when they see this form let me help."
[driders mirror]
Watching in amazement as this monster changed form before their eyes shrinking down to six feet looking mostly human if not for the fangs and pointed ears like an elves. Though still towering over them.
"Is this better-
"How did you do sir shadow was some kind of high tire magic where did you learn to do " rambling on as Naruko tried to figure out how they did being the closest thing to chakra she had seen since arriving here. Even if they called it magic
Not noticing the slightly surprised look on Nyarken face silently doing something but what Naruko was unsure of. Only it didn't seem to be working by the frown on his face. Contemplating what this magic caster was doing here at least looked like magic just now.
"oh nothing major just a simple transformation spell but if I could accompany you to your village I will need a place to stay for now"
Looking to the younger sibling she seemed cautious of the idea of a monster staying in the village. But he wasn't acting like a monster she would know having fought a few came with less than good intention .but still she need to be sure about this if for no other reason than to protect her family.
"You will have to talk to the village chief about this but you don't mind show your true form right"
Simply nodding his head they went walking back into the village before them.
Hours later
After one walk and several questions later Nyarken found himself sitting in front of the village chief an elderly man in his 60s. With the girls and her parents in the room with them. Having just finished their story. Though he was still baffled as to how he even got on this huge island over the map before him but the biggest problem was his money wouldn't work here the Yggdrasil coins would just stand out to much. So here they were descending were he could stay the night at least until he could figure out a working plan here.
"So you're new around her sir Nyarken but where are you from I don't think I have heard of this Yggdrasil"
Smiling at Natuko father thinking of what to say would it be more beneficial to lie. Or tell them the truth in just the few hours it took to get back to Wington he was sure of one thing. Were ever he was this wasn't Yggdrasil or the real- at least not his world. Even if his talismans, spells and skills still worked like in game this was assuredly real. He could smell, touch, and taste the hot tea just fine.
Along with everyone and a general sense of their pheromones in the room even if miniscule amount to most humans. Not most had such strong sense of smell to pick them what to say perhaps a half-truth would be best for now till he could gage the strength of this new world around him.
"I not to sure how I got here myself sir Fachtna but I think it might have been teleportation of some sort as to my origin if you haven't heard of Svartalfheim I can't say much more about it besides being a very dark and swamp like place somewhere."
Though his dark green eyes said he didn't quite believe he accepted it for now. Turning his gaze back to the strange coin in his wife's hands weighing it again.
"But as I said if you don't want to accepted my coin I could always help around the village it should be a pretty simple matter"
The chief looked at Fachtna and his wife again perhaps showing my true form as a promise of none hostility to his daughter was not the best idea. But for now I need to find a safe place to lay low till I could decide my next course of action. Something was why I wondered the forest nearby for a day or two just freaking out at the gm call function not working and no way to log out of the game. Calming my mind by sipping my tea a little feeling slightly annoyed for some reason.
"If I may what exactly can you do are you a magic caster because you don't look to strong if not and you don't have very much armor for an adventure" came the village chiefs question. He was sure he had more to say but held it back
"Well I am a magic caster in a sense have you heard of a medium or shaman"
Testing out there knowledge magic caster was far too vague a term in Yggdrasil. When there was necromancer, healer, priests and other but what each could do varied. Or was just how this place worked judging by his questioning look I could guess they didn't know much.
"Can't say I have heard of unless you mean like a shaman of the demi-humans but I'm not too sure what Naruko said you could do magic so I guess you are. But how will help aside form scaring off monster or giving light. Unless you're saying you have some strong 3rd tire magic" answered Fachtna
Chuckling at this one thing was made clear was 3rd tire spell were consider powerful here and it was unheard of to use anything above 5th. Watching as Naruko scowled probably do to not having many spells herself.
"Oh I have far more the just tell me have you heard of 8th tier spells"
Reviving just flat looks or disbelieving eyes as Fachtna scoffed "I want a Sirius answer not blatant boosting no one can do more than 5th tier and you look far too young to even know 4th"
Slyly smiling at I could use one here but best to get on their good side. "Believe me or not I am strong enough to help either with high level spells or work the fields with ease but if you have nothing specific then I will decide how best I can help myself till then thank you for the housing"
Raising a talisman as I teleported away in a flash leaving the silent mood to simmer as they all looked among each other. Uncertain of weather this was a bad omen or not.
"Are you sure we can trust him I know you volunteered to let him stay at you home but still"
The elder man face grimaced in worry one thing they were all certain of was this man was powerful enough they didn't want to risk angering him. But Fachtna just smiled coyly unknown to their guest he had a special talent allow him to read a person very well and find truth. Having been a retired seeker of the kingdom still he would be lying if he said one hadn't been challenging to read.
"I know he was being truthful the whole time even if I can't be certain if he really has kind of powerful magic I know he does not intended to cause trouble here"
Hugging his wife closer kissing her on the cheek "still Naruko I want you to be-
Tailing off as his second daughter was nowhere to be seen sighting- careful"
His wife giggled " on don't worry dear you know how she can be beside I'm sure she wouldn't have brought him here if she thought he was dangerous"
"'s what scares me she too eager to rush off to danger at age like myself"
With Nyarken
After having wandered the town and getting a good sense of its peaceful feel. Nyarken settled down in a clearing on hill with a good view of the fields getting to work as he pulled out the delict tools laid out slowly drawing out silk in to a pile with color dyes and other ingredients. He was setting up to create talismans it was not he was unused to it rather now there were no hubs or screen to tap it would have to be done by hand.
Being a medium magic caster meant he had to sit down and create more talismans every day to add to his supply unlike other type of caster in game if he didn't have his medium to draw out his magic the spells would either be far weaker or they would have to call on the sprites in the area to empower them which took twice as long as normal caster.
The good part was this cut down on because he just had to charge one up and throw it. The best part was his race as an arachnid made it easy to make them. But still he would have to take time to properly bind them all and set them. Working the silk in to weaves then lining the edges with a color dye for different tiers and finally writing out the symbols on them. Really getting into a grove with making them. in an strangely familiar way
Oddly his body seem to just know what to do which help though it was odd to feel normal making these by hand. Already having made more than fifty of them in just a few minutes.
Feeling something watching him right before the cheerful voice spoke.
"What are you doing?"
Glancing over to see the curious blonde jumping down from a tree right next to him.
But refused to stop working even as he spoke "making talismans"
Silence was over the clearing again as the girl watched him inquisitive gaze nothing every detail. Though she seemed to recognize something as she went to pick up one. Squinting at it with before making some kind of hand sign only for nothing to happen sighting.
"You know is designed for only me to use right"
Glancing at the shaman before dropping it back onto the pile.
"Well it looked similar to something I have seen before"
Stopping to hide his shock shouldn't be possible but then maybe it was possible she had seen a medium of talisman users before. And just not told anyone then again he had a feeling she was hiding a lot.
"Well if you had you would know each one is designed for one user unless specifically designed other wish. Why have you seen one can be used by more than one person?"
"No I'm just wanted to know how they work"
Even without looking he could tell was a bad lie but just raises more question then answer. Still it could get boarding sighting 'well it not like I have anything better to do right now.
"Look if you want to learn how to use then you just had to ask now take a set and i will show you how they work"
And so Nyarken spent the rest of the day showing her how to make talismans. Oddly she learned rather quickly for not know much about the medium class in fact she seemed to be able to make them without much instruction. Even if Naruko couldn't use them yet wail strange maybe she had one of those talents he had heard of rumor of in the village.
Later that night
Standing over the roof of one of the houses overlooking the village watching in the darkness of night. As the arachnid drones got to work laying out hidden talismans all over the small town wail other went scouting around or porting the area around the forest edges.
They all had similar dark armor with masks on hiding spider like faces hopping around with the long spider legs on coming out of their backs( like Entoma but it light armor). But all of them had a symbol on their clothes or armor of a kind of web like Design with six eyes near the center.
Landed on the builder near him bowing to one knee where three of them mask off. As they spoke in a kind of overlapping voices "father I and my brother have reports of our mission."
Nyarken in is spider form looked at the drone laying on the spider web hammock. "Go ahead"
"The field have been enchanted with the grow spells as you asked and the other are harvesting them and planting more to grow more slowly"
Spoke the first one a drone
"The forest edge is clear and warning pheromones have been put in and around the village to ward off any beast would dare attack" spoke the second in heavier armor a warrior.
Turning to the last one though he was oddly silent scowling "thank you sans, gin. Hadrick your report"
"Uh will we have been combing the forest as requested but um... We were unable to find what you requested nothing has been found aside from lots of insect and rather large forest beasts. No hidden or underground areas above ground or otherwise" spoke the last an assassin type
Though he did not voice it this was to be expected in a way but if he was here did mean his guild base hand come along with him or not. It was funny how his spider summons squirmed under his gaze in what they thought was a failure on his part. smirking darkly before brushing the thought aside it seemed the longer he stay here the more his spider origin affected him.
Like now feeling the need to be far more sadist then he ever was as a monster spider. No as a human he reminded himself the good news was he only need three hours asleep at most. In his boredom he desired to test out his magic more wail helping out the village.
Even if they would never know it but was for the best till he figured out how to get back home. But what is waiting for us back there toxic air and a backstabbing friends can't even show up one last time. Shaking though away why was he being so negative right now.
His musing was intrigued by the other "master Nyarken would you like us to kill him for this failure"
Shaking his head right one thing at a time "no I expected something like this though I just wanted to see what you would say though if you had lied I would have had to punish you" Hadrick sweated shaking slightly at the thought of punishment. Not liking the evil glint in his master's eyes at those words. But unable to define his words as a lord of their kind.
'Why do I keep doing I really need to work on'
"But good job once your jobs are done wait in the forest and remain hidden until i order otherwise. I can't have these weak- I mean humans panicking on me"
"At once lord Nyarken" saluting as they jumped from roof to roof silently vanishing into the woods.
Slumping back onto the hammock 'uh I really need to practice not letting myself say such weird things. Is it this new body or just some kind of side effect of ending up here' thinking on it further trying to find some kind of answer while gazing at the night sky. Something he couldn't do back home 'then again maybe it would be better to stay here'
No at least not until he was sure there was no way back home but how to even begin such a thing. He didn't even know how he got here one moment he was in his guild meeting room the next he was in an unknown forest in the quarry kingdom. How does even work was his human body still alive somewhere or did it die when his soul and his game avatar shifted locations.
It was giving him a headache just thinking about it looking at his wrist watch as he slowly drifted off to sleep. Remembering how he got in this mess in the first place.
Dream flashback
The silence in the immaculate room felt like an eternity to him waiting for someone to log on already. It was the last day granted it had been some time since most of his last 5 other guild mates had been on the server. Looking around the room hopeful if not frustrated did their friendship mean nothing to them? The least they could have done was come in and vent about life it was a common theme.
Talk about the issue of long hours and demanding boss or some such he had do on occasion.
But no out of the once 49 strong guild only 6 didn't quite the game. Spiral's parlor was their safe haven a truly ingenious design one of the few base in game no one but past guild members even know the location of. Thought it was a hassle to keep even info brokers form finding now it was deathly silent in the past year many hardly ever played any more than a day or two. Still it was the last day before the shut down before Yggdrasil ended. nyarken though maybe one of them would show up looking at the clock already 11:35.
"Why aren't any of you here?"
Think of how he became guild leader not because he was good at it or because he was the most like but only because he was one of the only ones. Didn't fight over leadership like other? There was similar to powerful guilds like Ainz Ooal Gown. The spider nest main problem was leadership or unity or lack thereof it was very chaotic and fun but half the reason it fell apart was simply an inability to just pick a guild leader.
Thus why he was the one holding the guild weapon a five foot long cross blow could be used like an ax or poleaxe. Made of dark crimson and lavender metal. Lined with gems and at the front of the crossbow a basilisk head with glowing red eye. As a message popped up.
[I'm still here master]
Scowling at the weapon why did he make it partly sentient programmed with some responses to some phrases like one. Put in to make it feel less desolate being in the base yet the words seemed to only mock him.
His furry building as he stood up on his four blade like legs particle gilding over the black marble floor. In the halls reminiscing of the old days when the small group of friends came together to conquer this place and make it their own. At first it was only the ten of them then grow. Looking at the statues of each guild member each one build to show their hard work in the group made it what it was to day
Passing a few NPC dark elves went about their preprogrammed movement like normal they were low level pop monsters defend and keep up the floor. But were once they could cheer him up. Now they were just a reminder it was all going to end soon. Halting at two hug double doors engraved with drawing of drideres other fierce warrior and assassin the guild was known for having. Pushing open the door open in a somber mood as green and purple mist roll of the room.
Inside was a massive room filled with webs everywhere with endless rows of bookcases lining the walls? Walking up the wide staircase up to the third floor were seven clocked NPC's stood each armed with a different weapon? Sword, ax, spear, shield, dagger, whip, and the head one hold a large mace. Each one hide thick heavy armor under the cloaks his personal NPC's he made to be high level fighters should any one reach this point into the base. "Follow me'' they fell in line behind as he came up to the throne room. Where the red carpet ended at. Made with webs, bones and metal but comfortably padded sighting at the sight. Though it look to belong to a truly evil being with all the sharp bones and metal edges held together by webs of fate.
"I didn't even get to use the traps in here did I no one could ever find this place"
Glancing at the clock again 11:59 it took so long to get here he wouldn't even make it to the throne before it was all over.
"Goodbye my phantom knight to spider nest it was fun"
dream end
Jolting awake first smelling something...good blood then came the screams but most of all he heard fighting below him "Naruko run we will hold them off"
"No I'm not leaving you"
..
"Just go get your sister to safety"
Jumping to his feet as he looked over the village fires and smoke rose up around the village as he could make out some sort of knight attacking the village. But looking closer he could see some had tail while other not wearing a helmet had elf like ears. Or other non-human feathers.
'Great now I have to help them or else I will have to find a new place to stay where are my spider assassin, warrior, and drone'
Massaging Hadrick, gin and sans.
{Master Nyarken what do you need}
An angry Hiss left his lips glaring at the carnage before him {why was I not informed the place I'm staying is under attack}
Silence followed with a quick stream of apologies sighting 'they need to be punished later' shaking the thought away didn't matter right now helping the humans did.
{never mind we will talk in length about this later for now organize the troops and get to work but make sure none of these attacker escape alive. And save as many villagers as you can.}
{Yes master at once}
Shifting his six eye and moving over to the edge of the roof to see Naruko shielding her sister as she fought off the attacking knights or at least tried to. But even with three clones of herself they were losing quickly if not looking about ready to pass out right now.
Feeling something rise up at the sight it was a mix of anger and something else 'no one attack our little fly but us' pulling out some talismans in each hand. 'Well at least I will get to test some of this world's strength to my own' he though before flinging the talismans down.
[Venom arrows]
In seconds the silk paper turned in to a rain of poison boiling into the shape of a rain of arrows. Each one hitting one of the knights. But it was disappointing to see the armor just melt under the power of the 3rd tire spell as they screamed in pain underneath the armor however they appeared to look like pirates or raiders. Even as they dropped their weapons or worse attacked each other in a wild frenzy to make the pain stop.
While the sisters looked befuddled as all of the knights around them started to die in screaming madness. As more came up to attack Naruko ready to attack with her long daggers till form one of the fallen knights a shadow fell over them and crushed the attackers in a cloud of dust. Glancing over to make sure night or the little ones were hurt in the landing before turning back to the raider beyond the smoke and dust.
[Bullet bugs]
As the two bugs answered his call attaching to his robes in the dust shooting out a hail of bullet shaped bugs. Though he was careful to avoid any hum-villagers were in the path. Gunning down a good few before dismissing the bugs pulling out more talismans and throwing them at the raiders with the silent spells
[Bombshell blasts]
[Acid blades]
[Vine death]
Explosion of heat cocked a few wail clearing the dust as more were raiders meet the two other spell between a hail of acid and being entailed by poisonous vines they died screaming in agony or being strangled to death by plants.
Thought without the dust cover many of the nearby raiders took notice of the new threat and rush up to attack fools he though as a blade bug landed on his right arm and a shield bug landed on his left. Easily blocking the first few blows with grace much to the dismay of those attacking. Then pushing his shield forward caving in body or armor in front of him. Followed by a downward slash. To the villagers it looked like a dance of death. Each precise swing of his blade cut through flesh and metal without any resistance.
Each swing killing more as they fell but his shield was not idle either bashing in or blocking blades. But unlike a normal shield bash each hit of this shield might as well have been a mace crushed any unlucky enough to get in front of it. All the wail he felt invigorated by the rush of battle the cries of pain, his mouth watered at the smell of blood and meat.
Then they started to back off as if realizing this was bad the bodies piled around him. He was unsure how many he killed why keep count they were weak not even able to take a single blow before crumbling like paper. Licking the drops blood off his face chuckling which only further scared these raiders.
"What wrong you can slather defenseless villagers but once a big bad spider show up you turn chicken. At least entertain me be showing me some bravery before you die"
Noticing the edges turning to run clicking his tongue before turning his head to shot out webs at them. Gluing then in place in blinding speed he did the same to the rest of his prey drinking up the looks of fear and despair from them With all of them stock struggling to get free but failing.
"So eager to run will why I don't help you out [Venom wave]"
Spitting out a wave of poison as it wash over the raiders laughing at their dyeing screaming.
Stopping to observe the carnage around him over fifty bodies littered the ground around him though scowling at the dead villagers sprawled out in between though none of them were killed by him. Still Hissing in anger 'did I even bring a wand of resurrection with me I should have woken up sooner hopefully the villagers don't blame me for this' thinking to himself before splitting in to three copies.
