Greetings everyone to my first self written story ever. It's been quite some time since this story started plaguing my mind, so I finally decided to write it down for myself a for others to enjoy.
DISCLAIMER: I don't and never will own Overlord, the light Novel, Web Novel, Manga, Anime or any other potion of the surrounding business.
FAIR WARNING: The story contains some heavy spoilers for the Overlord series. Furthermore, some sort of understanding of the mechanics in Overlord is required to understand the story to its fullest.
I'll try to explain some mechanics but not all of them. Also, this story is going to be following the Light Novel, but it's going to be slightly different to the original due to the new character interaction with the cast.
Now without further ado onto the story.

Chapter 1
Dawn in a new world
Location: Forrest of Solitude, Realm of Yggdrasil
In one of the realms of Yggdrasil there is a Forrest so far and wide that there was never a person that fully explored every hill and cave in the Forrest, nor seen every tree. This Forrest is called the Forrest of Solitude because one could theoretically walk from one end to the other without ever meeting someone. The inhabitants of this Forrest are all high level NPCs between Lv80-Lv90 and most of them either live by themself or in small packs.
Deep within this Forrest is a place called the Spring of Rebirth. It is considered a holy place cause in the middle of the clearing the spring is located in lies a sapling of the World Tree itself, using the power of the spring to grow powerful so that in the far future it can take the place of the World Tree itself. All inhabitants of the Forrest know that the clearing is neutral ground for everyone and as long as they don't fight in the clearing they won't have to fear for their life there. But today the clearing houses a being not often seen in these parts. Near the sapling sits a person currently deep in a conversation with the spirit of the sapling simply known as ''Flower''. The person sitting next to Flower is what is known as a Player, a powerful being in the Word of Yggdrasil. The nine golden tails coming from his backside show that he belongs to the heteromorphic Race, a Kistune to be exact. He wears dark grey leather armour and a dark blue almost black cape with a hood over his head. Looking closer one can see his ears poking out of slits in the hood. On his face he wears a mask with two eyeholes and near the top of the mask sit two sharp slightly up and backwards curving blood-red horns. The mask itself is nearly bone white and its surface is quite smooth. Around the eyeholes and a bit below them are blue tribal markings. This person is Solitaire, a Kitsune of the highest order known as a Tenko or Heavely Fox, Joker and exclusive performer of the Guild Ainz Ooal Gown, known prankster and trickster and for some Players the most annoying guy on the server. He is well-known in the World of Yggdrasil for not only playing tricks on his friends but prancing and tricking whole groups and even the top 5 guilds in Yggdrasil.
''...so after Touch Me walked into my prank his whole armour turned from white into a neon pink for a whole week. It was quite hilarious to see.'' said Solitaire to Flower, knowing well that he won't receive an answer but still talking to Flower non the less. With Flower being a NPC just siting there with an expressionless face and doing nothing. ''Those were good times I tell you Flower, those were good times'' said Solitaire with a sign. '' It's to bad that those days are over and Yggdrasil is going to shut down in less than an hour.'' I wonder what our Guild leader is doing right now. Most likely sitting or wandering trough the Halls of Nazarick, the great Tomb our Guild conquered together and reminiscing the good old times. Might as well call him before the shutdown. [Call Momonga] . . .Click
[Hey Guild master how are you doing? It's me Sol.]
[Ah Solitaire-san I was wondering if you would ever call me before the shutdown at 00:00:00. You were already online when I logged in today, I almost thought you forgot little old me.]
[Yeah, I kind of forgot to call you, sorry. I was taking a walk through the Forrest and talking with Flower. You know how I tend to get at those times.]
[No problem, I know how you are when taking walks and talking to Flower. Say what are your plans till the shutdown? Wanna join me in the throne room for the last few minutes?]
[Yeah, why not. I was just going to talk to Flower here till the shutdown, nothing better to do, you know. I'll be there in a few minutes.]
[OK, I'll wait for you in the throne room then.]
Click
''Hey Flower it was nice talking to you one last time. Maybe we will meet again in Yggdrasil 2. Till then, I wish you goodbye, you were a good listener as always.''
[Teleport]
Vanishing from the clearing and reappearing near the entrance of the Great Tomb of Nazaric Solitaire hurries to get to the throne room to meet up Momonga. Arriving in front of the Throne room Solitaire's sight wanders to the tall intricate in carved double doors that open to the throne room. On one door is a goddess with almost unmatched beauty on the other door a demon looking as cruel as possible.
Man every time I see those doors, it fills me with awe to what lengths my guild mate went to make this place our home. It is sad that all of this will vanish with the shutdown.
Placing his hands on the doors and pushing slightly he steps into the throne room. Looking at the other end Solitaire sees Momonga sitting on the throne together with the Pleiades Battle Maids and Sebas Tian the Headbutler and personal assistant of the Guild master standing in front of the throne. Momonga is currently seen abusing the Guild weapon to change some of Albedo's, the Overseer of the Guardians of Nazarick, NPC settings.
''Hey Momonga causing some late mischief with the settings of the NPCs? I approve with my whole being'' said Solitaire.
''It is n...n...not what it seems Solitaire-san. I was merely trying to better some things there...''said Momonga trying not to sound like a child getting caught with the hand in the cookie glass.
' Ah I see she is madly in love with Momonga. Not bad Guild master, not bad. So do you mind changing some for me as well? Seeing that it is our last day here and you already changed something?'' said Solitaire with a mischievous grin '' Not that it would
matter much but you are already doing it so...?''
''Hem Hem no word to the others when we meet again... so whose setting do you want to change Solitaire-san?''
''Well first of all I told you, you can drop the -san stuff, I know it is important for you but we are friends here so drop the formalities like I did!''
''You never used them in the first place to begin with Solitaire'' said Momonga with a deadpan sound in his voice.
''EXACTLY, and I was thinking of the Pleiades settings as a whole group, you know I told you that they remind me of my sisters, so why not make it official and make them see me as their older brother?'' said Solitaire while making some hand signs.
''OK that can be done and it sounds not as bad as my choice. I feel kind of ashamed of myself now.''
'' No worries I will take your secret to the grave.''
'' So only five more minutes till the end now, heh Solitaire'' said Momonga while taking a seat on the throne ''You know it was quite a fun ride with our guild till the end. And not in a small way thanks to your pranks and tricks Solitaire'' Momonga said with a small chuckle.
'' I live to please Momonga. It is my sworn duty as a performer to serve the crowd as you know and performing for our friends was always a pleasure for me.'' Solitaire said with pride in his voice.
23:59:00
''Ainz Ooal Gowns performance may end here today but our memories will live on and as the saying goes 'The Show must go on'. '' Solitaire said while doing a small twirl.

''Right you are it must go on my friend. Thanks for being here with me in the end. It means quite much to me.''

''No problem Bones lets meet again in Yggdrasil 2.''
23:59:50
''Yes lets meet again in the new world with our friend.''
23:59:55
''Yeah lets do that.''
