Chapter 2: The Birdcage
A gigantic table carved of gleaming black stone sat in the center of the room, surrounded by thirty-five luxurious chairs
Quite a number of these chairs are occupied, about twenty-two of them. All of them are heteromorphic races: Demons, Insectoids, Slimes, Skeletons, Crabtoids, Doppelganger, Birdman, and etcetera.
All of the heteromorph seems to be discussing something, as speech bubbles are popping out every now and then,
"Eh? Touch Me-san. Your daughter will be joining our guild?" exclaimed Momonga,
"Hm, my daughter is very excited to play Yggdrasil with me. I hope that our Guild master will accept her invitation to join the guild" Touch Me replied,
"Is she a heteromorph?" questioned Ulbert Alain Odle, a demonic creature that looks like a goat,
"At the current moment, no. But, she is planning to become one"
"Is she a cute loli girl!?" yelled the birdman, as he stood up and slammed the table,
"Oi! That was very rude of you Peroroncino!" The Pink Slime retorted, Peroroncino felt the air around himself becoming colder for some reason, "Forget that I said anything!" He quickly replied as he raised one of his hands up,
"She is, in fact, a cute loli girl." Touch Me casually replied,
"Eh?" out came a speech bubble from one of the guild members, before several speech bubbles suddenly appearing in hordes,
"You serious?!" "Unbelievable!" "But this is a 17+ Game!" "How old is she?" "Ohh~~ Finally, I get to see a cute loli-" "WHAT DID YOU JUST-"
Two heteromorphic beings suddenly departed from the room in a frenzy, the birdman, and the Pink Elder slime
Many guild members put forth a droplet emoji near their faces. The Pink Elder slime, Bukubukchagama in her angry or grouchy mood are usually scary enough to extinguish a hundred year old love between lovers
"Ah. Ah! Did you mean that she just looks like a loli girl?" Momonga said, trying to get the conversation back on track,
"Yes and No. She is twelve years old, her avatar also looks like a loli girl."
"I- I see... Well, I could make an exception for her, we could ignore the criteria for today. However..."
For one to join the Guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. You need to meet three criterias; 1. You must be a working member of society, 2. You must be a heteromorphic race, 3. Half of the guild members must be in favour of the newcomer joining their guild.
"I cannot ignore the third criteria. In order for your daughter to join, we must have the majority of our member vote for her. If the vote doesn't exceed or equal to half of our guild numbers, then I'm afraid that I cannot allow your daughter to join"
"Hm, I can completely understand your decision on the matter Guild master" Touch Me nodded,
"Currently, we have about thirty five guild members. In other words, the vote must exceed sixteen votes, and there are twenty of us in here. Enough for us to initiate the voting process" A warrior in full-body armor added,
"That is correct, Takemikazuchi-san" Momonga replied, "Now then, all members, if you are in favour of Touch Me-san's Daughter joining our guild. Raise your hand!"
All of them raised their hand
"Hm, the number of votes exceeded half of our Guild member count. Congratulations Touch Me-san" He open his item inventory to give him something, "Please, give her the Ainz Ooal Gown membership card and the ring" a card and a red gold ring appeared in the air before dropping onto one of his skeletal hands, which he then handed to Touch Me, who received it
In order for an outsider to join a private Guild, the outsider must first receive a membership card with the Guild's logo and name on it. The membership card has a 24 hour-period before it expires and disappears from one's inventory, however if it is in the possession of a guild member of said Guild, then the card will not have the countdown initiate and will reset the timer. Once the outsider has accepted membership of a Guild, the guild master must then confirm their membership by officially accepting the membership from the guild interface menu before the outsider can enter their Guild Base without any hostilities from NPCs
*BOOM*
"What was that?" asked Momonga. The explosions is powerful enough to shake the entire room they are in, "Is there an invasion?"
"Don't be silly, our Guild has a passive field that can detect intruders who uses anti-detection abilities up to the 7th tier. But, even if they get pass that, they still need to deal with the NPCs we stationed around the floors." Ulbert explained,
"I think that explosion might have something to do with Bukubukuchagama and Peroroncino..." a Black Elder Slime added,
"So her tantrums is at the peak already?" Takemikazuchi questioned, the beings shuddered at the thought,
"Quickly! Somebody stop her before she does anymore damage to our guild base!" Momonga shouted,
All of them rushed out of the room before a shining bright light engulfed their entire vision
"Wha-"

Sitting on the throne, Momonga is face palming himself, "We just lost a net worth of about 26 million Yggdrasil coins..."
"That isn't so bad. Is it?" Peroroncino sheepishly said,
"I'm so sorry Momonga, I will dedicate all of my time playing Yggdrasil to grind Yggdrasil coins for Ainz Ooal Gown." Bukubukuchagama added,
"I have grinded and grinded for so many hours... and all of it gone down the drain"
Momonga who has the most time of all of his guild members, spends most of his time grinding high-level dungeons when his guild members are offline. On a weekly basis he earns about 40 million Yggdrasil coins, enough to cover the weekly cost of maintaining his Guild. Combine that weekly earning with his guildmembers and their earnings goes as high as 62 million. So in other words, they just lost over 92 Million Yggdrasil coins, most of them been Momonga's
After a day later, near the entrance of Ainz Ooal Gown Guild Base.
"Ohhhhhh!" exclaimed Tanaki, who is wearing basic magic caster gears with generic appearances at the moment,
"Welcome Tanaki-chan! To Ainz Ooal Gown!" declared Touch Me proudly,
"It looks so big and so amazing!" Applauded Tanaki, "Although it is quite scary, with all of those swamps and dead zombies..."
"Hmph! Of course! Ainz Ooal Gown is a guild of evil! So it must be able to instill feeling of terror into those stupid heroes and their self-righteous bullshits!" exclaimed Ulbert,
"Oh? Papa, I never knew that Ainz Ooal Gown is evil. Does that mean I can no longer become an angel?"
"Ah, you can still become an Angel-"
"WHAT?!" Ulbert exclaimed again, "You are becoming a good heteromorphic being rather than an evil one?!"
"Ulbert-san, please refrain from using the shout button too much..." Touch Me complained,
In the chat there is a shout button, the shout button enlarges their speech bubbles so that their's are more noticeable than others. It also has the added benefit of pinning their comment in the chat log. Of course, there are trolls who abuses the shout button, but they are taken care of very quickly by the community.
"Forgive me Touch Me-san, but I cannot accept this"
"But I'm not evil, and you accepted me, didn't you?"
"You are the exception! I cannot have two-" suddenly Ulbert stops moving for a moment, "I have a great idea!" he shouted, "Tanaki!" he said as he look toward her,
"Ye- Yes?"
"I'll allow you to become a good heteromorphic being but with one condition!"
"And that would be?" Touch Me butted in,
"She must act as a Damsel in Distress"
"A Damsel in Distress?" Touch Me questioned him,
"Hm, if she can be a damsel in distress then I'll allow it. So what do you think Tanaki-chan?"
"I don't understand what you are talking about, but if I get to be an Angel then I guess I could be one..."
"Alllright! Time to put my plan into motion!" He walked into the Guild Base while emoting his character to do a "Long Evil Laugh" with the japanese version of "Muahahaha" keeps popping in and out of existence near his character,
"He looks very happy for some reason" questioned Tanaki,
"He is a Chuunibyou. He might look evil and act like an evil person but he is very nice, probably... " Touch Me answered back,
"What's a Chuunibyou?"
Back in the meeting room, this time however the table has thirty-six chairs. Currently, there are about sixteen Heteromorphic beings in here, Peroro and Bukubuku are out grinding for coins together, while Touch Me and Tanaki left the game due to his wife nagging him.
"I propose for the creation of a birdcage in the Throne Room." Ulbert said,
"Hm? Can you explain to us why Ulbert-san?" Momonga inquired,
"Ainz Ooal Gown is a guild of evil! So-"
"Spare us your commentaries and just get to the point Ulbert-dono" Takemikazuchi grumbled, Ulbert immediately recognize the hidden meaning behind his words "I don't have the time to deal with your Chuunibyou nonsense right now"
"Yes, I want to create a bird cage specifically for Tanaki-chan."
"Hoh? Please, do continue"
Ulbert went on to explain that since Ainz Ooal Gown is a heteromorphic guild, which comprises of mostly evil beings. Having an Angel in their ranks would disrupt the theme that the guild is trying to project, which is an evil PKing Guild. The Birdcage he proposes is to address that,
"But wouldn't that ruin the beauty of the Throne Room? I doubt we could even make a birdcage that would be befitting" Momonga added,
"Don't worry, I have the solution for that..."
The birdcage is connected to the Throne, what he means to say is that,
"You want to install a pocket dimension function onto the Throne?"
Ulbert nodded, it was so that the birdcage can appear or disappear at will at the Guild master's pleasure, who would be sitting on his throne. Welcoming the heroes who made it this far, belittling and then taunting them with a Damsel trapped in the Birdcage,
"Hm, an excellent proposal Ulbert"
"But, what would a birdcage do? It would only increases the maintenance cost for our Guild needlessly" A vine monster said, "I do not see the merit in such a proposal"
Momonga who is watching intensely, stared at Ulbert,
"I do understand your concern, Punitto Moe." Ulbert added, "What reason can I use to persuade him? Especially the Guild master?" Ulbert taking a few moments to think, "We could lure them in by making a personal announcement server-wide that if they can rescue her, they can make a demand for one of our World Items"
The heteromorphic beings sitting at the table shifted, some of them leaned against the chair, some of them leaned against the table, while some have their hand on their chin. The silence is deafening in the room,
"That is a rather risky gamble... I like it." Takemikazuchi said,
"Do you really think they are stupid enough to fall for such an obvious bait? Even if it wasn't bait, who would challenge us? Our Guild Base have 10 floors to go through, all of which are housed with dangerous traps, level 100 NPCs, and hazards, with a few excceptions." Punitto Moe rebutted,
"Punitto Moe makes a good point," Momonga added,
Come on, come on, Brain! Think of something!
!
"We could allow them to invoke the Virtus System"
The room froze for a moment
"The Virtus System? Do explain,"
Ulbert went on to explain the Virtus System, answering some questions along the way.
In Yggdrasil there is a system called Ariadne System, the word Ariadne is related to a Greek Mythology, The Mistress of the Labyrinth. The reason why such a system is in place is to prevent players from building a passage in their Guild Dungeon that Raid parties can't go through. On the other hand, there is a lesser-known system. The Virtus System, in Greek Mythology, Virtus is a Deity of Bravery and Military Strength. If the player invoke the Virtus System on a Guild Base, a challenge is sent directly to the guild master, on which, he can then choose either to accept or decline
The Virtus System is designed to give the invaders a fair fight without any great loss to their own firepower. The NPCs who were killed in battle will be revived at no cost, while damages done to the Guild Base will undo itself, and the Guild Defenders who have been defeated will also revive at full Health and Mana. The same also applies to the Raiders except they will be revived at their base along with the NPCs. This was to prevent other players from exploiting the Virtus System and collaborating with others
For one, the Virtus System disables all traps. Two, the number of Guild Members participating in Guild Defense, must be equivalent to the number of Raiders and vice versa, if the numbers exceed that amount, they will turn into transparent players instead. Three, the use of World Items are not allowed. Fourth, The Virtus System forms a bubble encasing the entire Guild Base to prevent outside interference, anyone that got in or aren't part of the battle will be teleported out, minus the transparent players
And lastly, if the Raider were to win. The Guild will receive a penalty on their weekly guild earnings, where the Raiders can tax them, depending on how high the tax rate is, the effect can last from a day to a month. However, if the Raider were to lose, then they must pay Yggdrasil coins in an amount equivalent to the Guild's Base Maintenance Cost. If the number of coins isn't enough then the Virtus System will grant a special debuff to the players, "In debt", this debuff will force all their coin earnings to directly teleport itself to the Winners Treasury room, and any coins that is transferred into their inventory will also teleport itself. The debuff will only be removed once they have paid back the required amount. On the other hand, if it were to end in a stalemate, all players and NPCs will receive the invincibility buff and pacified debuff for five minutes exluding the Guild's NPCs, and the Virtus System will be on Cooldown for an entire week rather than just 3 days if they either win or lose.
On an unrelated note, one of the more unconventional uses of the Virtus System include using it as a trust pack between Guilds. Where the two Guilds will fight to their heart content and when a side surrenders, they will throw an after-fight party to celebrate the glorious battle they had with each other until the Virtus System declares a stalemate. Alternatively, it can also be used as a betting game where they call upon NPCs to do battle with the other guilds NPCs and making bets on who would win, in other words, "NPCs Cockfight". These unconventional methods pave way for friendships to form between Guilds. Although some of the more cautious players raised some concerns about the other Guild backstabbing them, but they were put to rest quickly as they realize how stupid a Guild must be to consider backstabbing by using the Virtus System.
"I see. Hm, hm. If we can pull this off correctly and follow Punitto Moe's Anyone Can Easily PK to the letter then we might be able to loot some dropped items from them without any of us dying. Even if the Virtus System, only allow two of their equipped Item to drop if a Player dies while it is active. As long as we do not let them fool us with disguised terrible items, this could be a worthwhile effort," thought Momonga, he activate the clap emote, "A truly marvelous suggestion" he looked toward Punitto Moe, "Punitto Moe-san, what do you think?"
Punitto Moe put forth a "Sigh" Emoji, "Momonga-san, you really thought that what he suggested was a good idea huh?"
Ulbert was a teensy bit shocked that he can still find a fault with it, "What is it now?"
"Hm? Please do explain," asked Momonga,
He went on to explain that while in theory, they might be able to do it without dying a few times and get some worthwhile items from the players. The Raiders will also end up gathering information about them, the way they play, what sort of spells they have, and their character's vulnerability to certain elements. The same risk can also be applied to the NPCs. Of course, these can be averted by equipping different items and refraining from using certain spells but even that would be temporary and would only give the Raiders more information to learn from. But, then again, there is quite a few number of players who knew their weaknesses already,
"I see..."
"Your honor- I mean, Guild master!" Ulbert exclaimed and then slamming the table standing up, "I cannot just come away empty-handed now!", "I'll personally see to it that I'll pay for the maintenance cost of the Birdcage if you are willing to take the risk!", hoping that Momonga will atleast, consider building that Birdcage in the future,
"Hm, your proposal is very interesting, and it gives as much merit as it does with risk"
"If we managed to catch a big fish, we might as well drop the pretense of roleplaying as an evil guild and directly PK them...". After a few moments of silence, "As long as you pay for its maintenance, I'll allow it. But only after Tanaki-chan becomes an Angel. I don't want to waste coins on unnecessary cost right now."
"I understand Guild master, I'll ask Luci*Fer-san to draft some designs for the Birdcage until then." he bowed to Momonga,
"Does anyone else have any objections?" Momonga said,
Several speech bubbles appear, "No" "I trust your decision, Guild master" "Nah" "None" "No objections here"
"Then meeting's adjourned." Momonga said as all of them stand up,
Special mini-chapter! The dashing Knight rescues the Princess! (Can be considered non-canon or canon to the Storyline)
This is a story of a Noble Knight rescuing the Angelic Princess from the evil clutches of the Sorcery King... Who kidnapped her for reasons unknown...
"Hiyah!"
From the swamp, a Knight in Shining-Silver armor with his red cape fluttering on the wind, riding on a magical Golem horse, arriving near the wall's opening. The wall surrounding it is about 19 feet tall and are made of mossy stones. The entryway to the tomb is covered in fog. The Knight hopped off his horse, with his head held high, he looked forward at the entrance when suddenly!
"So, you have arrived Sir Knight..." said a figure in the fog,
"Where are you hiding the Princess! You devil!" Yelled Sir Knight,
The fog disperses, revealing a Demonic looking goat-like creature, "Behold! I am the right-hand man of the Sorcery King! The tomb's most evil! And the most ruthless supreme being that ever existed! AND THIS TOMB SHALL BE YOUR GRAVE!" his character does a series of hand motions to add some flair to his lines and entrance,
"Um.. this isn't part of the-
"Don't you even dare think of rescuing your dear Princess, BECAUSE! She will be an offering! A BRIDE-TO-BE FOR OUR SORCERY KING. If you think you have what it takes then enter... And see what horror we have in store for you..." he disappeared into the air,
"Ulbert-san, don't you think those lines are a bit too much?"
"How so?"
"... For my princess, I'll face whatever horrors you have beneath this tomb and rescue her from that monster!" he declared to the sky. He begin walking toward the tomb, scanning his surroundings to ensure no undead are hiding in the fog to jump at him,
A magic circle suddenly appeared beneath his feet and glowed,
"Shoot!(Shimatta!)" he looked toward his feet, he activated a teleportation trap,
The Knight figure was swallowed by the light as the magic circle intensified, blinding him. When he finally regained his composure, he find himself in an entirely different location. He's no longer near the tomb but in a wide open snow plain with icebergs around him
"Welcome Sir Knight, to my domain"
The Knight turned around to see a monster, his body is almost thrice the size of a normal human, his head is hideously ugly to look at, it has no flesh and looks deformed with horns protruding out from its sides. However, if one weren't to focus on only his head, they will see that he is wearing a dark red samurai armor.
"Hm, hopefully this recording managed to capture the main highlight of our sparring match"
"You said it, Takemikazuchi-san"
"To whom do I owe the pleasure to?" the Knight said, unsheathing his sword and shield hidden behind his cape, taking a stance,
"Takemikazuchi... any last words?" he replied as he took a ready stance with his katana on the hilt
"Where am I?"
"You are on the 3th floor of the Tomb, the Glacier"
"I didn't expect you to answer that question"
"I see no reason to hold back, you're already a dead man walking"
"Are you sure about that?"
There was a few moment of silence between the two warriors. Snow started to fall on them, which distracted the Knight,
"You're wide open!" he immediately close in on him and swung his katana,
"!" He managed to block the strike but was sent flying through the air, the giant samurai appeared above him, "What?"
"[Heavy Strike]!" he swung down on him,
[Heavy Strike] deals enormous stress and damage on opponents, if the opponent did not block and got hit they will receive a "Dazed" debuff, where their character can't do anything
He crashed onto the ground, throwing up snow around him. The giant then held his katana with both arms and pointed it down, "This is your end!"
"[Quick Recovery]" the knight stood up immediately with his sword at the ready, "[Air Slice]!" he swing his sword at lightning speed, sending out many air slicers on his way,
[Quick Recovery] is a warrior skill that can be casted even if they have a debuff on them that prevent them from doing so, it shortens all stuns debuff's duration. [Air Slice] on the other hand is a low tier warrior skill, with limited duration and its damage output depends on how quickly a warrior can swing its weapons.
The samurai tried to shield himself with his arm and folded his legs. Several Air Slicers hit him on the armor and flying pass him. He landed onto the ground, preparing to strike or block, only to discover he isn't there,
"Never take your eyes off the enemy!" he said as he appeared behind him, [Silent Cast] [Slash of the Wind]
*Shing*
The Knight stood in front of the samurai with his back facing him. A few moment later, he fell to the ground,
"I'd say we did pretty well"
"Hm, even if our fight were pretty short. It's still good to look at"
"Atone for your sins in purgatory" he flicked his sword before lowering his stance, "Now, where is the..."
He saw a teleport gate, it has a giant sign that said "This way!" pointing at it
"Hm, this is totally not suspicious at all." he said as he walked to the teleport gate, this time the gate teleported him to the throne room.
"Papa, why are we skipping so many floors?"
"Ah, it's because Momonga-san thought that someone might steal the video footage to learn about our Guild Base, it can't be helped"
"But it's so short, it's barely even been 6 minutes!"
"Originally, it's supposed to be 15 minutes long but we've cut it down to 10 minutes"
"What do you mean? Momonga?"
"Apparently, some of the video footage got corrupted"
"Really?"
If only she knew the real reason...
The teleport gate teleported him to the 6th floor of the great Tomb of Nazarick, in the Colosseum. On the spectator seats, there are rows and rows of featureless golems on them.
"Eh?"
What the Knight saw before him is quite shocking to say the least, in the Colosseum, there are banners of the Princess in various poses, most of them looked innocent enough. There's a court table and a court dock in the middle of the Colosseum, the dock is occupied by a birdman
"Everyone, please welcome the proud father of Tanaki-chan!" said the birdman in the dock who is holding a rod-like object in his hand,
All the golems responded to his voice and stomped on the ground to make some noise
[Message] "Luci*Fer-san! This isn't part of the script!"
[Message] "Ah, sorry Touch Me-san, I forgot to mention this to you but. There has been... a slight change of plans."
[Message] "You call this slight?!-"
[Message End]
[Message Blocked], [Message Blocked], [Message Blocked].
"Now, now, Sir Knight! Don't just stand there! You got a Princess to save don't you?" The birdman urges the Knight to stand near the court table, "I have several questions for you, related to you and your Daughter!"
"Oh-oh, you do?" The Knight manages to blurt out, "Well, I guess I could answer some of them" he said as he decided to play along for now, "Now that I think about, it's pretty natural for people to get curious. Although, I don't know why we have to do it when we're recording but..."
As the Knight take his place at the court table, the birdman took out a notepad of sort, out of his inventory,
"Alright, first question. When is your daughter's birthday?"
"Ah, if I do remember, my daughter's birthday is on September 21st"
"Oh, that is quite interesting..." the birdman, jotting down some notes with a feather, "Next question then! Do your daughter like cute things?"
"She likes a lot of cute things, teddies,rabbits,cat, and tiger plushies. She even has a pet rabbit, haha"
"So, she likes plushies, hm." he said as he continues jotting, "Alright, what colour is your daughter's panties?" *Sparkle*
"White- Wait! What did you just say?!"
"Ah, I see, I see... White Panties.."
"Please do not jot that down!" he said, his arm is trying to reach out for that note
"No! It's mine!" he replied, shielding his notepad from the Knight,
"Seriously! Why are you doing this?"
"Because, when she is finally thirteen years old, I wanna ask her out! With your blessing of course!" he declared,
"Eh?!"
The age of consent in Japan is thirteen years old, in other words...
"I'm not gonna miss out on that loli booty!- *shine* -Not anytime soon!-"
"YOU DAMN PERVERTED BIRD!"
The middle of the Colosseum just exploded, the birdman flew out of it in the nick of time,
"Oh, hohoho! This is the first time I've ever seen Touch Me this mad! Operation make Touch Me mad is a success! Ulbert-san!" he thought as he was flying,
Suddenly, the knight appeared in front of him, "Caught you." he said as his weapon is glowing... wait is that [World Break]?
"Oh shit-"
In the Throne Room, with the Birdcage battered and broken to pieces.
*Klang!* "Argh!" Said the Sorcery King as he fell to his knees, "How is this possible? You're just a measly human!"
"Because, Sorcery King. You lacked one thing that most human have" The Knight said, his armor is battered and have seen better days, while his sword and shield are completely fine, "A human heart"
"Curse thee..." The Sorcery King said as the hollow red orbs in his eyes fade out and dropping dead to the floor
"Sir Knight!" yelled the princess as she ran to his side,
"Princess! Are you alright?" he looked at her, seeing a figure clothed in an angelic robe with heterochromia eyes,
"I'm alright, but I am more worried about you!"
"Hahaha. Don't worry, I have some healing potions to help with that" he took out a red potion from his inventory before putting it back, "But more importantly, we have to leave this tomb" he grasped her hand, "Stay close to me, okay?"
"Hai!" she nodded
They left the Throne Room...
After defeating the Sorcerer King, the noble knight finally rescued the Princess and left the tomb in haste.
When they finally got back to the Kingdom of Yusmaria, the knight was handsomely rewarded- %#$!%
"What just happened?"
"Sorry, it appears like the video-recording software weren't rendering it properly and corrupted the footage at the end"
"I see, but you know, to just come up and make a film like this in three days for your first time is pretty amazing."
"Ah, you think so? Hahaha"
In Yggdrasil, there is a built-in video recording software, which can record the various experiences they have in Yggdrasil. There are three kinds of recording software in Yggdrasil: First Person, Third Person, and Cinematic. First Person and Third Person, is just as it said, First person will record from a First Person view, while Third Person will record from a Third Person View. Cinematic, on the other hand is a more complex video recording software. It features multiple cameras, which is capable of recording simultaneously with each other, and try to manoeuvre around players to get a more cinematic recording of them. They can also be controlled manually but that would require the players to learn a new set of controls if they want to use it efficiently, so they leave it to the Autopilots to handle it for them. Many players in Yggdrasil uses them. In fact, some of them used the Cinematic Recording Software to create advertisements for the game, which the devs then used to advertise with, giving the owner a percentage of their revenue when a customer buy their product through the ad.
"But, for a video footage to get corrupted in the game while rendering, is unheard of... Perhaps, somebody tampered it?" Momonga thought. "Hm, that is quite suspicious" he mumbled, "Perhaps I should go to the throne room and check the Guild's security cameras..."

For some reason, there's a statue of Momonga sitting on the throne, "... HOW THE HELL DID THIS HAPPEN!?"
After a few minutes another yell is heard from the throne room, "TOUCH MEEEEEEE-SAAAAN!"
Ulbert on the other hand... is laughing his bum off
Hello folks! The author here is making an announcement! I am recruiting (Used to be hire) proofreaders and beta readers. Because, I have no clue on how to recruit one... So I decided to announce it here hoping that atleast someone can tell me how to, or volunteer personally (Explained by XXX1994). I'll do it later when my fiction is more fleshed out for now
But, anyway. If you have read it this far then be prepared for more stuff not related to the main storyline! My story is still in the 'buildup' phase so, we won't be adventuring into the New World anytime soon though
If you have any question then PM me. However, do be careful with what you ask of me, since I might end up spoiling you a teeny tiny bit... Intentionally... so that I can hook someone, that's you, so yeah... I won't be spoiling anything really
Oh and since my story is still in the buildup phase, I will be listening to your suggestions. Because, after all some of you might be speculating and theorizing stuff, like what does Zettour do in the Concert Hall and what function do those Concert Buttons have. And the conclusion you found might be better than mine, who knows?
I'm looking forward to entertain you folks some more. See you next chapter!
