Note: I have watched the anime, but I haven't read the light novel since I'm reading another light novel (I can't read two or more light novels at the same time without getting lost). I got hooked up in the anime which I never expected to happen after watching a few episodes. I love the series so I made a FanFic in my free time. The idea originally came from a friend who also likes to watch Overlord during our discussion about anime. It's just a sudden idea that came to be during a conversation. Honestly, I don't think I'm good in making stories with OCs as protagonists. In fact this is my first story so feel free to cringe or something...

P.S.

I would very much welcome and appreciate well mannered constructive criticism so I may know which part of the story or character I can improve (preferably through PM). This is my first story, so I'm inexperienced in these kind of things. Advices and tips for writing are also welcome.

I did what I had to do….so she could live…

That girl was…the only one I have left…

I couldn't bear...losing her too...

Yet…..I still lost her in the end….

Amidst the smoke and stench of blood spilling out of burned and torn corpses, a girl in a white stood alone. When she looked around her, she found no sign of anyone who survived her single attack. They were humans, thus they are fragile. So in her mind…..they they would never survive against...someone who is from another world.

"I feel a bit...over the edge. I just can't describe this feeling properly. Maybe I'm going through a phase again?"

She pondered at the undescribable feeling inside her heart. Her dark red eyes scanned the massacre around her. She felt no remorse at the sight of the death she had caused. They attacked her so she retaliated; Nothing more, nothing less. She's not used to violence, but doesn't hesitate to inflict it when the situation calls her to.

"For some reason, I keep feeling like I forgot something...or someone. I wonder what is this feeling trying to tell me" She tilted her head left and right

During the peace and quiet, she sensed this...unknown feeling emerging. She closed her eyes and asked the sky. Of course she knew no one would answer, but she asked the sky of the unknown world she was transported to. As far she knows, there aren't anyone else from the game except herself, but she thought of the possibility other players were transported here too.

"This is like the world I came from, just without the magic and medieval setting"

The girl looked in all directions, observing the bloodshed she instantly committed. She thought it was more convenient by ending their lives quickly. It's not that she is merciful, she lacks motivation to do anything productive as of the moment.

"Re-Estize kingdom, huh. If those soldiers weren't only stupid enough to attack me, I could have let them live. Well, humans will be humans. There's no changing them..."

While she felt no remorse towards her actions after her full transition as a [God] in New World, she felt what can be called pity to the soldiers who all died in vain.

"Just when I was sleeping peacefully, a damn commotion ruined my nap"

An unknown force or power echoed inside her mind, forcing her to wake up. She thought she'd be back in her mundane everyday life, but she was wrong. She found herself in a world far, far different from the game she was accustomed to. By now, she had already accepted the fact how both her mind and body now reflects her game character that is now her permanent body. While she retains her human-like appearance, her race is entirely different.

"Perhaps there's more to this life than I know. Well, I can't really complain that this is my life now. I should start getting used to this world"

Oddly, a smile curved on her lips. She felt...happy, a feeling she could never express because of her life back in the old world.

"It's quiet. It feels a bit lonely since there are no other players around, but at least the NPCs keep me company"

There were no other players around for her to talk to so it explains why she feels a bit lonely sometimes. She refers to the custom NPCs she made who all serves as the guardians of her residence where she doesn't do anything much.

"If a player in the game like me is here, then there's a chance other players are here too. Yeah...that could be possible"

With so much free time in hand, she had already thought of that possibility. If she's in New World, then there's a chance other players made it as well. She reached out for the sky, but raised down her hand when she felt a familiar presence heading towards her. She knew it isn't hostile so she didn't bother raising her guard or using her magic.

"I know that look. That's the look of someone missing someone, is it not, Shiro-sama?"

A birdman gracefully landed near the massacre of soldiers who helplessly fell before his master. She admired the scene as if it was art with no context. He simply admired the surrounding...battlefield. The sight of humans dying in a bloody field is his sense of art. A personality Shiro regretted inputting in his flavor text.

"Humans are very fragile. Their efforts were futile even before they the battle had begun. They-"

"Hawkbill"

The girl whom the birdman referred as "Shiro-sama" called him out in order to silence him. If she didn't do that, she would have to listen to him talk endlessly about how humans die so easily.

"Forgive me, Shiro-sama. I just couldn't help myself but admire this scenery"

(Why did I even created him….)

"I was gathering information like you ordered. My keen hunter eyes spotted something that will please you"

Hawkbill posed dramatically, something the girl named Shiro find annoying all the time, but finds strength to tolerate it. She created him so she can't blame him for acting so….…lively.

"For starters, the Re-Estize kingdom has a lot of things going on. In fact a lot of things happened while you were asleep"

"Humans, huh. What's so interesting about it?"

"Arkhangel gathered information on interesting events, mademoiselle. There's this organization called Eight Fingers..."

The birdman goes on to explain every detail in order to inform her mistress. He hoped it would pique her interest enough to take action as he, personally, wanted to be involved in it.

"Blue Roses, Darkness, and among other things. This may elevate my boredom for the time being. Besides...I might find useful information"

During her inactivity for a certain period of time, there are events Shiro herself is unaware. With her lack of information, she knows her only course of action is gaining more knowledge about New World and the unexpected turn of events.

"By the way, Shiro-sama, is it really okay to not to conceal the palace?"

Hawkbill raised his hand, remembering one important question.

"A group of adventurers found the palace while you were away. Of course, Nehemoth got rid every single one of them"

Shiro placed her fingers on her chin, deciding whether she should make changes in her plan with certainty more people will discover her residence soon.

"It's fine. Let people find it. I want to study about the types of beings living in this world"

In case someone with power unknown to her raids the castle, she wanted to adjust the palace's defenses against New World's inhabitants and their magic. This is no longer a game anymore so Shiro knows she has to take this situation seriously.

"I see. Like drawing flies to a spider web"

The white birdman with golden feathers rubbed the mask covering not only his face, but his eagle-like beak too.

"For the time being, I will have to put a weak concealment spell around the palace to keep ordinary people from stumbling across it. I'm not in the mood for having some lost villager wandering in the palace right now"

"Understood! I shall pass your order to Akane-san and my fellow guardians"

Hawkbill straightened his posture and saluted firmly, his eyes sparkling with excitement. Fulfilling her creator and master's wish is something that gives him constant excitement.

(I wonder if you're somewhere in this world...)

She could never forget the image of a white knight the brightens with justice and chivalry. It's just like in fairy tales where white knights in shining armor who always helps those in need. She thought she would never met one in the world she grew up with, but she did in a world where...anything can be possible, such as being transported to an unknown world. That's why...she wished to find the "white knight" who she admires and respects so much.

Chapter 02:

While Shiro contemplates on what to do next, she decides to explore the kingdom along with one of her Gatekeepers. During such exploration, she comes across a group of admantite adventurers who saw her as an ordinary human, unaware of her true nature.
