AN: Another fandom imminent. Before anything else let me clarify something, Yggdrasil is NOT a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Hybrid Game, despite the freedom, they are always limits. I am sorry to say that I made Naruto and his guild or better yet, empire a bit too OP in terms of in-game logic.
Originally, I wanted to create a second party in the Overlord Universe. A party that consisted of Shinobi's from the Naruto Universe where Naruto is the leader of the guild that is solely made up of Assassins, Ninjas and CQC Mages while the NPC's consisted of different characters from the series EXCEPT SASUKE AND SAKURA. But a friend of mine, who is obsessed with Code Geass Fanfictions and Europe, wanted me to implement the Holy Britannian Empire. Like my obsession with Command and Conquers: Empire of the Rising Sun, I gladly did much to his appreciation. Sadly, No characters from CG universe will appear here as much as I wanted to.
I will hope to see you enjoy this fandom at least. Have a good time.
WARNING: Beware of flaws such as misspellings, grammatical errors, misplaced words and missing words. Probable swearing, cursing and sexual themes. AND completely out of character Naruto.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Prologue
Round Table of the Imperial Palace
A lone figure sat in the massive round table, this figure had natural blonde spike hair and flaming azure eyes. In a closer, the figure is identically a male, a masculine and firm one in his early adulthood. Clothed in noble grace, he wore a white elegant robe with golden eye-shape insignia's stringed in most joint-areas that also had red-orb pupils. This person is simply called Naruto, presumed Emperor of the Empire of Britannia, a nation-scale guild in Yggdrasil.
His chin rested in both hands and his eye's directed towards literally nothing but only to his front, seeing the seats in his sights we're empty and could only eye the round table that was in front of him in this massive oval-shaped room. One could think that Naruto was simply contemplating with his thoughts hence his intelligence and logical nature, sadly they would be wrong.
He was simply waiting, waiting for at least a player to attend the court and enjoy each other's presence and company as their world, the empire they have forged and built with their real lives, was about to end. DMMO-RPG, Dive Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. It is a type of game where you can enjoy an imaginary world as if the person was in it. Then there is one game, a game with an embodiment of perfection, Yggdrasil.
Released in the early days of the 22nd Century, the game stood above all other DMMO-RPG's. Due to its expansive and world-scale map, so expansive that it shaped two times the size of the Earth that you could even go to the center of it or the moon. Not only that but also the unusually high player freedom, players had all the freedom they can get, from quest making into building empires and nations, even making their own NPC's. Anything was found in here, politics, military, diplomacy, magic, and technological advancement without even needing a patch. It was certainly vast open world and considered the most perfect and complete game ever made yet.
This game popularity boomed world-wide. Players would spend more time in this virtual world rather than reality, almost causing reality to be less real as the number of players would exponentially grow every day. Handled by one company, it held only one strong server that made players from all over the world connect into one world where they could do all their wishes and satisfy their hunger for a good gaming experience.
However now, twelve years later, Yggdarsil is about to see its end. That made Naruto almost seemingly sad as he sat there; alone waiting for anyone who would at least visit the empire they have built in this table, carved with the finest materials found in the game, shaped at a perfect five meter radius with the Britannian flag in the center.
Moments later, he could again feel the sadness of truth. Though he cannot blame others since it's a fact after all. Beyond this world they enjoyed, outside it was lives, real lives. His realization only came late but he did anticipate it. In the end, people will choose reality than virtual.
"*sigh*…" For what is seemed like centuries, the silence was finally broken from a mere sigh that was Naruto's. He is actually surprised at himself, everyday he would talk to himself or with the NPC's despite the fact that they are NPC's, wanting makes things even a bit lively around the palace but today was different, he was all too quiet, probably to his depression of the game coming to an end. He stood up in the princely way pushing back the chair that he sat on; he turned and made his way into one section of the wall that was behind just him.
There afloat a guild weapon, a weapon that symbolizes their giant guild or better yet, empire. A two meter long Great sword, forged with the best materials and items that you could get from the hardest bosses in the game. The Excalibur , the y played recklessly to make this weapon a reality. A weapon that could rarity that beyond a god's reach, members used their paid vacations and others fought with their real wives to make time and to fight bosses and get the materials for this.
Naruto reached for the Excalibur then firmly gripped it in from of him, he could feel the power and aura entering his character. If there was one thing the game was also good at, it was adding a touchable atmosphere. The buffs was giving him a fuzzy and warm feeling, he felt strong as held Excalibur.
Out of the thousands of guild-players or supreme knights as he would view them, only he was the only one left.
"Let's go, you're the testament to our guild." His voice spoke with the combination sharpness and pride. Turning, he made his way out of the room.
There we're requirements for joining Britannia. The player's avatar had to be human and must display civilized manners (meaning that being an in-game racist is not allowed, even if other player's avatar are inhuman), vow loyalty and must be honorable despite only being a game. Their guild also follows the military principles of both the Knighthood of the British Empire and Samurai's of the former Japan. The player must also be vigilant and ready should he or she required immediately to launch in-game. The terms are demanding and hard to accept for most players but that didn't stop them from joining. And lastly, both science and magic are to be equally used preventing one of the two to dominate the guild's arms.
Naruto though wasn't much of a fighter but he was so far from useless. He is the one who founded and led the guild into glory and made a reputation that could make Ains Ooal Gown respect them as equals in terms of power. Naruto was a genius tactics and strategy, a natural born leader. In-game, he was a shinobi class with a sub class that was a ranger, meant to combat with highly stealth tactics and utilize magic skill activated for ninjas, also with the use of range weapons ranging from small bows to assault rifles, also with a exclusive ranger buff that made his sight inhuman making him a perfect spectator for ongoing battles and coordinate from a distance.
Now outside the room, Naruto made his way through the long halls of the Imperial palace. As Naruto continued to follow down the steps of the stairs leading to the main hall, he stumbled upon a certain NPC. At the arrival of his presence, one of the three NPC's kneeled.
This NPC, the one that kneeled, is named Galahad, the Knight of One, strongest of the knights, a beautiful female counterpart of the real Galahad that was a knight of the British Empire, she had loose long baby-blue hair that reached her waist, golden eyes, a hair and neck band both of which had a tiny golden hanging cross each, she wore a white armored-dress, white and golden trimmed arm guards and knight boots, and armed with a traditional European crusader shield and a sheathed double edged rune-saber. Height slightly smaller than Naruto who was merely 5'9.
The two NPC's behind Galahad wore grey and black uniforms and white capes with face-sized visors covering their features and armed with rifle-spears, this we're apparently classified Royal Guards by Naruto. Not may be the best of defense but Naruto tends to attain their empire's grace and inspired tradition. One of the freedoms that was offered to players was they can create their own NPC and no matter how many, meaning the freedom to create an army.
Also one of the reasons why Naruto programmed and designed to look like was that his obsession with European history. With him being Japanese, he took all the time available to read stories and learn the histories of the Euro-medieval world making him beyond obsessed of it.
Wanting to at least make them useful in this last day, Naruto thought that he would make them move around one last time, not everyone though as Galahad and the two Royal Guards we're the only present NPC around.
"Follow."
A simple word but it was a specific command that made Galahad stand from her position and began following Naruto from behind in a robotic manner as well as the two Royal Guards that was now behind Galahad doing the same command and manner. The palace interiors we're built and programmed by the finest players along with Naruto, replicating the medieval yet modern European culture, countless paintings we're placed in the walls and gold-illuminating chandeliers hanging from the high ceilings.
Each section having its own party of NPC Royal Guards, assigned to protect that area should any players from the outside reach this deep inside their empire's territories. Naruto halted when he reached the gigantic doors to the Throne Room which he was greeted with another pair of Royal Guards programmed and assigned in that section of the palace.
Entering the throne room, he was greeted with a familiar and nostalgic sight. The Throne room was vast and bigger than the Round Table room, in the end of the room was an upper podium where the seat of power was located just at the end of the long red carpet. On top of that seat was flag of their empire, a crowned shield with a winged lion and snake facing off in a blue and crossed red-white backdrop.
After a moment of daze and awe at the nostalgic sight, Naruto continued his steps towards the throne, as graceful as possible like a real emperor would walk. He took notice of three new attendants in his presence two of which are Royal Guards standing in attention at both sides just by the carpets mid-travel, standing at the left side of the throne chair was an another NPC, Gawain, a sister in arm of Galahad, fellow knight, the Knight of Two.
Gawain is by far beautiful like every other Knight of Round, despite being an NPC and a gender bent character of the real one, her beauty matches as like with Galahad's grace, she had a wavy light purple hair that reached just below her shoulders and red eyes, she wore a white that had gold trimmed curve designs, light-armored battle dress with its skirt significantly shorter than Galahad's and without a shield, she is armed with a gold-colored rapier, meaning that Gawain is a fast-paced fighter.
"Stand by."
That command made Galahad walk to the left side of the throne while the other two Royal Guards that we're following behind her simply stood in line with their fellow Royal Guards. Naruto then took the pleasure to seat on his well-earned throne. He admitted, while it really was a waste, considering that the minority of his time everyday was consumed for his presence in the game, it was fun.
Naruto glanced to his right, seeing Gawain was looking at him with a smile, the same expression she held every day in the game like every other Knight. Both Galahad and Gawain are the strongest NPC in Imperial City of Pendragon, they lead the Knight of Rounds and supervise the vast NPC army Naruto and his guild mates made. Majority of the their NPC's we're programmed to stand with noble grace and regard honor while the minority we're just plain but meant to be amateur yet still hold loyalty to their creators.
Like every other Guild, if the player was rich and energetic enough to play, they can limitlessly create army of cannon fodders, most NPC's we're only meant to aid players and defend their belongings. Some are summoned while some created, programmed and given with real in-game equipment.
Another unique feature from the game is settlers and non-combat NPC's, all having their respective roles. Blacksmith, Tailor and etc. Pendragon housed an exceeded million of NPC's including combat ones. As such, Naruto's guild had the largest number NPC in the history of gaming, but it was hard as fuck to maintain despite the game making everything easy.
Micromanagement came when Naruto along with his guild mates started building the city of Pendragon, with all their earned riches from simultaneous and continues boss battles in every high level dungeon available to the hundreds of assigned parties. It took weeks for them to finish the 10km long shining city of Pendragon. (Look Pendragon in Code Geass)
For once, he experienced becoming a charismatic and untouchable leader to their guild and he really enjoyed. Leading players just as satisfying when earning a victory, there was no better than it. Time seemed slowed as he could only watch the countdown in his HUD.
23:59:50…
It was like the longest 10 seconds he ever felt, at the end of the day. Everything will be gone; this world that he loved and lived in will be destroyed. It was really saddening for a gamer and it surprised Naruto himself on why he is affected, why he is showing emotions to the game. He may never know.
With the last 4 seconds in his time here, he closed his eyes waiting for the administrators to end the server. He still needed to wake up, eat ramen for breakfast and get ready for work which he really despises, doing paper works.
00:00:00…
…
…
00:00:04…
"Hm?" Naruto widened his eyes at that, he expected to wake up in front of his computer with his Dive Gear in his head yet he is still here. He noticed two things, one was his HUD was gone, he's view became what like a real human would see, two is the air was almost…too real.
He moved his hands to his, expecting for a holographic console to appear only to tapped nothing but the air.
'Huh? Where's my console?' That enough made Naruto confused.
"That's weird; did they delay the server shutdown?" Naruto said looking around to see everything was still intact.
"Pardon your majesty?" That stopped him in his moves; a look of bewilderment took over his features as he slowly turned to the source of the voice. Galahad, her golden eyes looking directly at him slightly glaring with…emotion that it was confusion and loyalty. For the first time, Naruto felt intimidated at her sharp glare.
Galahad meanwhile noticed the change of stance her Emperor had. At first she was confused at the Emperor's word at his usual neutral look that carried his authority over them, now his face replaced with shocked as his eyes we're as saucers looking at her as if something coming from her greatly shocked. That made Galahad now concerned, why was the Emperor making that face right now. Did something bother him, if so, she would be glad to assist and aid him.
"Your Majesty, is something wrong?" Her voice flat and soft but followed by concern, much more to Naruto's surprise. Surprised that her lips moved and generated words of her own subconscious, something that isn't in the game.
"Waah! You talked!" Naruto exclaimed as he frantically stood from his chair more shocked than ever and panicked that it even made everyone in the room flinch in surprise as their Emperor moved. It was the NPC's turn to be surprised; it was a first seeing Naruto like that.
They've known him to be a charismatic and noble leader; rarely at times they would see him in his carefree and happy-go-lucky personality when interacting to the supreme knights of the Empire. This was certainly a surprising turn of events for both sides.
"Your majesty, I meant no disrespect to your person. Please forgive me for intruding with such mere words." Galahad now concerned not only for Naruto no herself said in sincere.
"You're talking…you're talking. I'm talking with you?!" Naruto again exclaimed as if what he was claiming was ridiculous now.
"Yes, you are correct, your majesty." Galahad confirmed solemnly. He can't contact a GM or the Admin and that was the last draw for Naruto as his rational brain we're collapsing now panicking, confused and frustrated. Gone is the noble and graceful Emperor Naruto replaced with a young adult named Naruto Uzumaki. His hard role-playing self now replaced with his real life one.
"W-What…Wha…What the fuck is going OOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
To say that the entire palace was scared of the Emperor's fury would be an understatement.
