Author Notes: Finally finished with the chapter. Took me a bit longer then I wanted. I checked the first two chapters for spelling mistakes and formating. I hope that i didn't miss anything this time. Now without further ado onto the chapter.

The undead King and his Jester
Chapter 3 Story time with Solitaire
Location: Throne Chamber, 10th floor, Great Tomb of Nazarick
After the party for his return ended Solitaire is standing near Momonga waiting for the last of the 'guests' to leave. Next to them the Guardians are waiting impatiently for the story that is about to be told. Behind Solitaire are the members of the Troupe standing around conversing with each other.
''Now onto business Solitaire. How are you my friend? I was quite worried when you weren't next to me when Nazarick was transported. Tell me Sol do you have any idea as to what exactly happened to you? To us?'' Momonga asked while sitting back onto his throne.
''Well I'm fine now that I found you, thanks for asking. As for what happened to us, other than knowing that we're not in any of the Realms ofvYggdrasil any more no.'' said Solitaire with a bit of a frown on his face. ''But as for my situation that is a bit of a different story. While I don't have any idea or clue as to why or how we were transported to this new world, which I personally dubbed 'Bob' just for the sh**s and giggles, I at least know why I wasn't next to you when you arrived here. ''Turns out that I arrived at a different place and a different time than you.'' Solitarie explained with a mischievous smile on his face.
''Explain, what different place and time exactly are we talking about?''
''Well turns out that I arrived about 550 years before you, in a for me quite familiar jet different location.''

P.O.V Solitaire
''Uhg my head hurts. What happened? Did they screw up the shutdown somehow?...''
The f*ck how come my voice sounds so different? Wait Wait Wait that's not my hand. I don't have fur and claws. ''Would whoever is touching my back stop this'' I shout turning my head around not seeing anyone but coming face to face with nine golden furred tails. Oh so that's what was touching my back. Hey now that I see them I can kinda feel the muscles in them. So frist check surrounding area and find somewhere where I can get a better look at myself. I think while I try to get a hang of my new muscles and stand up.
''So where in the nine hells am I? Looks like a clearing in a Forrest.''
This place looks kinda familiar only missing the spring and it would look like the clearing I love to visit in Yggdrasil when I need to have some time alone for this is Yggdrasil 2 already and the developers wanted to gift something to the ones who stayed till the shutdown.
[Call GM] . . . ahm doesn't seem to work. Maybe
[System]...
[Status]...
[Map]...
''Come on it can't be that bugged. It's not like I asked for a [Lightning] to HOLY SH*T!''
as I mutter the spell name [Lightning], a bolt of glowing energy suddenly arcs out of my outstretched hand and slams into a tree not far away from me.
''The hell was that?''
That looked exactly like the [Lightning] spell from Yggdrasil. Could it be? No, it can't be.
… Or could it? Could it be that I've really been transported into a different world and transformed into my Avatar? Well my hands and tails point to me at least being a Kitsune and [Lightning] worked as well. But this place looks like the clearing from Yggdrasil. Maybe I've just been transported to Yggdrasil as my Avatar. I need more info.
''It looks like you have calmed down again Solitaire.'' a voice suddenly sounds from around me.
''Please come closer to the spring behind you. I'd like to talk to you.'' said the unknown voice.
''Ahm who are you? And how do you know my name?''
I kinda panic a bit and start to look around for the one talking to me.
''Come to the spring and I shall explain everything to you.''
Turning around I do spot the spring. Preparing for a possible ambush I walk towards the edge of the spring.
''Here I am now''
''Yes here you are.''and with that said a drop of spring water rises out of the middle of the spring and
into the air, hovering about half a metre above the surface. The drop then seems to gather more water and grows to the size of a handball. ''I've been waiting for your arrival in this world for some time now dear Solitaire. You see, I am in dire need of your help with a matter of great importance to me.''
''Wait Wait Wait. Who are you and how do you know me?'' I say getting a bit impatient for not getting those questions answered.
''Dear Solitaire, no need to get angry.'' the voice chuckles.'' I am a soul shard of Yggdrasil, the World Tree and I know of you because my dear seedling daughter talked a lot about you. You know her by the name Flower if I remember correctly.'' ''She is the reason I transported you to this location when you arrived in this world. Some adventurers were able to restore me to full power again after you left my realms. When Flower heard this she requested to be sent to this world to follow you, you are her only friend after all and without you she woud have been quite lonely.'' Yggdrasil said breathing out hard. ''But something unforeseen happened when I send her after you. Instead of arriving at the same time next to you, she arrived a whole month earlier than you and was found and kidnapped by an unknown group of humans. For her own protection I put her in stasis for the transport. While she is in stasis in her seed form she is safe from all damage, and she won't awake until you pour your magic energy into the seed to awaken her, but I still fear for what those people might to do to her if they ever find out what exactly she is. I beg you as a mother and for Flowers sake find her and rescue her and give her the life she deserves that I couldn't give here.'' Yggdrasil asks with a tremble in her voice.
''Flower was kidnapped? You don't have to ask me for anything, I will never abandon those that I call friend! But before I go, would it be possible for you to send me and Flower back after I rescued her?''
''No, it is not possible to send you or anyone back, not even my real self with her power restored could do such a thing.'' she said sounding sorry. This world is surrounded by a barrier only letting things in but not out and this world and this fragment of me grows weaker by the hour. In a few days it will be completely gone. So you are on your own.''
''I understand, not your fault. But don't worry I will find Flower and I will save her. And then I'll take her with me on the adventures that follow. As for the humans who took her, they forefeited their lives the moment they laid their hands on her. This I swear on the name of Solitaire and the honour of my Guild Ainz Ooal Gown. I will not fail for Ainz Ooal Gown knows no defeat.'' I tell Yggdrasil with unwavering conviction.
''Thank you Solitaire. It lifts the weight from my heart knowing that you will take care of my daughter. I wish you good luck in your future endeavours. Live well friend.'' and with that said the water sphere drops back into the spring, causing the water to ripple just once and then goes still.
Wow talk about dropping a bomb. New World, new body and already a friend in need of saving.
Ok first things first. I need to locate her. That should be possible for me with my Shadowseer spells.
[Cast Tracking Mana Essence 'Seed of the World Tree Flower']. . .Tracking successful
Nice works I'm getting a signal. ''Designate Data as Tracker 1.'' Now for the next part.
[Cast Clairvoyance 'Tracker 1']
My view slowly changes. First zooming out of the clearing then heading further north. After clearing the Forrest it flies over Plains and a large lake till it finally reaches the outskirts of a gigantic city. The city is filled with lots of humans of all ages it looks like. Damn I can't get a better reading on Flowers location. Seems like the ambient magic in the city is screwing my search spell.
Damn no other choice then looking the hard way. Well looks like this is gonna be a challenge. I should use the time it is going to take me to try out a few other of my skills and spells to see if they
are somehow restricted as well as [Clairvoyance] or if this is just a one time occurrence. Well no use in wasting time her I've got a friend to save. And with that I take off in the direction of the city.
XXXXXXXXXX
A few hours into my track I finally start to see the trees parting and opening the way to the plains from my vision. OK so far so good. I was able to clear the Forrest without much problem. Just like the one in Yggdrasil, there were almost no NPCs there. Now just go through the plains and past the lake to reach the city. Shouldn't take to long for me with my current speed I should arrive at the city in a few days. What's the worst that could happen to me now?
XXXXXXXXXX
I just had to open my god-damn mouth, didn't I? I think while staring at the group of goblins and ogres in front of me. Rule number one for adventurers: Don't tempt Murphy's Law.
''OK guys we're all friends here right? No need for any violence, we can all behave like civilised people here and don't try to kill the nice human right?''
''Hears se Boss, hears se. Puny humans thinkes wes let it go. Wes gonna kills se human dead and eats it. Tastes good Boss tastes good.'' screams one of the small goblins not caring the spittle that flies out of its mouth.
''Shut up Screecher. I'm da Boss. I decide what happens to human. I say we make human tell us where other humans are.'' said one of the ogres clad in what appears to be some kind of leather armour put together from various sources.'' Human where are the other humans? Tell me I'm da Boss, and I kill you fast. Don't tell and I eat you life just break bones before.''
Wow not the friendliest bunch those guys. Looks like beastmen like them prey on humans here as a food source. Just my luck to run into those idiots.
''Listen 'da Boss' I'm new around here and I don't know any humans in this area. How about this. You let me go now and when I find other humans I'll tell you? That would be much better for you. Look at me, I'm more bones then meat, I wouldn't even fill one of you.''
''Screecher likes humans idea. More meat foe Screecher. Tells humans to go and find others humans
Boss, tells it tells it.'' said Screecher while jumping around like a kid on a caffeine high.
''Shut it Screecher. Human lies to us to run away, but I da Boss, I know when human lie. I say human dies now. I find other humans myself.''
Welp there goes diplomacy flying out the window. Here I am trying to save them, and they try to kill me. Bunch of idiots. I expected beastmen to listen more to their instincts to know when they face another predator. At least they win the Darvin Award.
''He he he. Well there goes the diplomacy. I tried to be nice to them and what do I get. They try to kill me. Bad beastmen, bad. You should know your place when talking to your better. Guess I'll just have to give you lot a lesson and show you where exactly you guys are on the food chain compared to me.'' The F*ck where did that come from? I'm not that vengeful normally.
''Don't say I didn't give you a chance to run away.'' and with a flick of my hands the hidden monofilament blade [Judgement] extends from the metal plating on top of my right glove and the needle like syringe [Mercy] extends from the plating on my left fingerless glove. I start walking slowly forward.
''Prey like you should really know when to run from a predator.''
Queue Battle music 'Nightmare by Avenged Sevenfold' start at around 1:01
[Activate 'Mantle of the Jester'] the cloth on myself suddenly start so shimmer for a second and then my whole body looks like it turned into pixels at the edge and shimmers out and into existence like a specter in the fog.
[Greater Agility] [Critical Up][Fog of Illusion]
''Let's start this dance, shall we?'' And I leap to the nearest goblin. To fast for the goblin to react and already confused by the fog, my blade passes through his neck without any resistance taking the head right of the shoulders. Twisting around I dodge a rusty blade from the ogre next to the goblin.
''As if I'd fall for something simple like this.'' and come face to face with the ogre. ''Man are you an ugly one. Here let me help you with this heavy blade.'' I said while kicking the arm holding the blade. I activate [Somersault] the moment my food hits and while vaulting over the ogres head I stab him with [Mercy] injecting a rather potent berserker drug. ''Have fun with that. [Shadowstep]''
I appear near one on the goblins near the back of the group with my hand on his back.
[Change Vial – Insanity] and ram [Mercy] into him. Within less than a second he's twisting and screaming around on the ground trying to put out an imaginary fire and get the beetles out from under his skin.
At his point the other members of the group finally realise that they're the ones getting attacked and try to counter attack but the berserking ogre, who isn't able to differentiate between friend and foe any more and the [Fog of Illusion] are already taking their toll on them. More stumbling then walkin and trying to either get the ogre to cam down or doge him, they try toget to me.
''Now that I think about it for a second, I really don't have any time to play around with you.
Let's not waste my time any longer. Hope I don't see you in hell. Say hi to Hel from me dears.
[Reapers Dance]
XXXXXXXXXX
When the fog finally lifts, the ground around me is littered with body parts. Not one part is near the ones it belongs to and the expression on the goblins and ogres face look like they saw unimaginable horror before their lives were taken.
''That takes care of the small fry. Really they couldn't have been higher than level 10, no resistances or defence at all. Welp I waisted enough time with them.'' I should get going now, but it might be a better idea to get some more people, so I don't look like easy prey from afar.
[Summon Kyra]
[Summon Sigil]
[Summon Harlequine Troupe]
Creating a summoning sign with my hand, I summon my personal NPC creations known by others as 'The Troupe'. The first to step out of the summoning circle is Kyra a Lv75 female Kitsune with the Master Mime Job. She is about 5 foot 6 tall and wears clothes not unlike mine, but hers are more
colourful with intricate designs on them. On her face she wears a mimes mask hiding her quite beautifull features. She's the one in command of 'the Troupe' when I'm not around. As a Master Mime it is her job to lead the group in battle or on stage and help them with their performance. She's equipped with the rapier [Cresent Moon], that she uses in battle to strike at an opponents weak spots with ruthless efficiency.
Shortly after her emerges Sigil a Lv75 male kitsune Shadowseer. He's the voice of reason in the group and helps with planing and illusions and also my personal adviser for both battle plans and deciding which peace we play and how we execute it. He wears a smooth dark blue mask with golden trim around. His colourful chequered mage robes hide the rest of his body except the seven tails on his back. He's usually holding his [Staff of the Seer] in his right hand, which he uses as a focus in battle or as a simple walking stick outside of battle.
Behind him the five Harlequine Lysandra, Mira, Imara, Aria and Ceron take position. They're all Lv50 and wear essenctially the same partialy chequered clothes and the white jester masks. They use daggers and swords in combination with monofilament whips in battle.
Combined with Shūen 'The End' (my trigger happy Lv100 male Kitsune Gunslinger and heavy weapons support) whom I was allowed to create after I won in a contest in Yggdrasil, who I didn' summon for obvious reasons, I can perform one of the deadliest over tier skills in the whole of Yggdrasil, the [Laughing Gods Dance], a large area of effect attack, that ignores all defence and always critical hits. Only the most agile of players stand a chance to survive this attack. It's one of the reasons why many players wouldn't dare to attack Ainz Ooal Gown in the later days of the game, cause they feared what would happen if they actually survived that attack and then had to face our most powerful casters.
After all of them got their bearings back from the summon, they drop on one knee bowing to me.
''Our Lord, what can the Harlequin do for you today?'' they said in an almost scary synchron voice.
''It's nice to see all of you. We've got a rather tricky situation at hand. We are currently in a different world from Yggdrasil and my friend Flower, whom I told all of you stories about. was kidnapped. I know approximately where she is but the area she's located in is saturated with an unknown magic source, that makes targeting her specific location impossible. I'm currently on my way to the city she's held in and I'm goning to need your help in gathering information about her whereabouts. Think you guys are able to do this?''
''My Lord, it will be my pleasure to help you locate your friend. To think some lowly lifeforms would dare to take a friend of one of the Supreme Ones, such a heresy can't be allowed to go unpunished.'' Kyra said reverently to me. ''Solitaire-sama just point me in the direction and I will gladly slaughter anyone who stands in your way to reach your goal.''
''Solitaire-sama, you know you have but to ask of us and we would walk to Hel for you and wage war on the gods themself.'' Sigil said bowing even deeper than before.
''My Lord, the Harlequin are at your command, just point us at the stage, and we will dazzle the crowd with our performance for you.''Lysandra said, speaking for the Harlequin. The other four nodding with approval.
''Thanks my Troupe, I knew I could count on you for this venture.'' I exhale ''Let this new world be our new stage, our new canvas. Let's give this ne world a performance that it will never ever forget.
XXXXXXXXXX
Over the next few days we made our way to the city from my vision. At dawn of the 4th day we spotted the city in the distance. During our travel we made sure no one saw us while we gathered a bit of information about our situation at hand till we arrived at the city gates.
''OK guys, as planed we will use [Alter Self] to blend in with the human population since demi-humans and such are not welcomed here. This state we're in, this so called 'Slane Theocracy' preaches human supremacy, so we have to blend in and hide the fact that we're not human, understood? Good. When we reach the city, we will split in three groups to gather Intel on our target.
Harlequin Troupe your job will be to find an open space in the city, get a permit if necessary, to perform. You know how to get Intel while performing so that shouldn't be a problem for you'll be in command as usual.''
''Understood.''
''Kyra, Sigil, you two will mingle with the common folks and get your Intel there. Use subtlety if necessary or even bribing to get the Intel. I'll let you to handle how exactly you get the job done.
''Understood, my Lord'' ''Affirmative''
''My lord, if I may ask what will you be doing during all of this?'' Sigil asks with a curious voice.
''My dear Sigil, you should know the answer to that question already.'' dramatic pause.
''I'll be doing what I do best. Perform for the crowd, dazzle them get the info I seek and make the unknowing crowd easier for their money.'' I say with a mischievous grin that would let strangers stop in their track and freeze the blood in their veins if they could see my grin, knowing they want to be far away from the chaos I was about to unleash.'' You know, the usual.''
''Why did I even ask...'' Sigil said slapping his hand into his face.
''Aww, don't be like that Sigil. You know that I need my daily dose of mischief and chaos or I'll go
crazy. ''... Well more crazy than normal heh he he.''
''Please don't say more my Lord, I still have nightmares about pink skeletons running through
Nazarick with the stolen pants of more than ten of the female Supreme Ones, while playing the 'Benny Hill theme' and getting chased by even more Supreme Ones. If I remember correctly, one even screamed 'PANTS ARE JUSTICE'.''
''Ah good times.'' Wait how come he knows that. He was just an unresponsive NPC at the time.
Might need further investigation. ''Anyway lets get going. We have a friend to find. We'll meet in three days time at a designated point. I'll inform you at a later point where that will be. Remember
to keep in contact with each other and the other groups as well with [Message]. Other than that make sure not to be overly suspicious OK.''
''Understood.''
''Good. We'll split up here for now. Good luck and always remember...''
''The Show must go on'' we all said in unison.
After finishing with our motto I separate myself from the group approaching the gate, coming out of a side street outside the city wall. The gate itself is about three and a half metre tall and around two
metre width. Guards in metal armour stand watch at each side in groups of three. One keeping watch on anyone who approaches. The second seems to question the people, most likely asking about their intention for entering the city. The third seems to be the one to collect entrance toll.
''Halt commoner. What business do you have in the capital city of the Sane Theocracy?'' asks one of the guards brashly.
''I'm just a traveller looking for a job. I heard I have to go here if I want to join the Adventurers Guild, in that right Sir?'' I asked while cowering together to appear more like the other humans around me. The guard I overheard tend to be a bit harsh on common people.
''You heard that right, but what could a weakling like you even do as an adventurer? You'd end up dead in less than a week.''
''That might be true but I still have to try.'' I say while casting [Silent Cast — Charm Person] on all three guards and put a few gold pieces I relieved a rather snobby looking guy a few streets ago into the guards hand.
''You seem honest enough and you know how to treat your betters. You may pass after you paid the entrance toll of 5 silver pieces.''
''Thank you fine sir. I'll remember your kindness.'' A**Hole I said and paid the toll.
[Silent Cast — Distraction]
Walking into the busy streets of the capital, having relieved the guards of fifteen gold, I look around and head further into the city.
XXXXXXXXXX
My first day in the capital ended with me staying in a rented room in a hostel near the city wall.
OK so what do I know now? Let's see 'Slane Theocracy' a religious state preaching human supremacy. Leaders are the six Gods of the Theocracy. Six seemingly all-powerful beings. With what I gathered today and my talk with Yggdrasil, I'd say the chance that they are players is quite high. Need to find out more about them. Skill set, appearance and so on. What's next. Ahm right Adventurers Guild. Located near the middle of the city's largest market square. Takes everyone that applies and either pays enough or passes a test. Must pass Human Test to see if you are indeed human and not some demi-human trying to get Intel about the theocracy. After all the Guild is a
part of the state here so a military installation with some degree of importance. 9 o'clock tomorrow
morning is the time they gave me for my testing. I should keep my skill quite low, so I don't rise suspicion. Other than that? Right made 200 gold by pickpocketing and another 500 by counting
cards in a gambling hall. Well guess they haven't figured out any cheat prevention stuff.
[Message Kyra/Sigil] … Click
[How's it going you two. Got anything useful for now?]
[We got some Intel on the military situation of the theocracy my Lord. Seems that the theocracy is in conflict with quite a few neighbouring nations. A lot of conflicts arise due to this very reason. The six scriptures are the main arm of the theocracy considering military might. Each scripture
follows another of the six gods and thus deals with different situations. Only Citizens that have proven their loyalty and have served with distinction get recruited into the scriptures. We haven't had any chance for one to infiltrate them. Other than that we gathered a few coins here and there.]
[Good job you two keep up the good work. Till tomorrow evening then.] Click
[Call Harlequin Troupe] … Click
[How are you guys doing so far?]
[My Lord we were able to get a permit, that allows us to perform inside the city walls quite easy. We've been performing most of the afternoon and into the evening time. It looks like most humans here share the viewpoint of the theocracy. There are a few stragglers here and there but nothing that doesn't get silenced in time. Humans are treated quite fairly here and only seem to get a harsher treatment from nobles otherwise their quite fine here. Beastmen and demi-humans on the other hand get treated like thrash here. They are even held as slaves, my Lord. That is the gist of the Intel we were able to gather today.]
[Thanks for the report Lys, keep up the good work and tell the others I said job well done.] Click
OK, now that is Intel I can work with. It's to bad that we haven't found a single clue to Flowers whereabouts. Might need to infiltrate the residence of the six gods. There is a chance whoever took her brought her to them. I won't find her if I turn the city upside down, got to take this problem on slowly, otherwise I might lose the trail in the ensuing chaos. Got to take care of the rest tomorrow
then.
XXXXXXXXXX
Next day 07:50
Yawn...Gah I hate getting up early. That's probably the only thing I'm going to miss from my old life. Home office had its advantages. Anyway let's get to business. Going to try out the new spell Sigil came up with.
[Converenz Call Kyra, Sigil, Harlequin Troupe] . . .Click
[Can everyone hear me?]
[Kyra here, seems to work for me.]
[Works for me as well.] came the answer from Sigil.
[Yes Lord Solitaire-sama, the Troupe can hear you loud and clear.]
[Good, 'Converenz Call' seems to work. Onto business then. Everyone has their orders already, so good luck. I'll have to head over to the Adventurers Guild in a bit to take the test there. If all goes well, we should be able to get some Intel on the group from the guild then. If necessary, I'll form a group with Kyra and Sigil to pose as adventurers to get more Intel. That's all for now. Meet up with me this evening. The hostel I'm currently staying shouldn't be too hard to find. Till then good luck hunting.] . . .Click
Huh now that that is finished lets get going. Might need to grab some breakfast on the way.
XXXXXXXXXX
Location: Adventurers Guild 08:50
OK. Let's see, where is that reception desk I should report to. Looking around the interior of the guild I spot a few rows of benches and tables with a few people sitting there, eating breakfast. Near the tables is what looks like a reception booth with a board next to it and some prices on it. Most likely a kitchen of some sort. Letting my sight wander further I spot the reception desk on the opposite side of the mess hall. Behind the desk is a woman, who appears to be in her 30s. Neck long brown hair, blue eyes and a bit of a chubby appearance and a friendly smile on her face. As I walk over to the desk, she greets me.
''Hello there stranger, you must be new here. How can I help you?''
''Yeah I'm new here I arrived just yesterday in the city. I talked to a different receptionist yesterday concerning my entrance into the guild. I'm Silas Ikol by the way, nice to meet you.''
''Oh I'm sorry where are my manners. I'm Greta and the receptionist you talked to must have been Oscar. Now that you said it, I think the guild master mentioned a newcomer for today. Must have slipped my mind. I'll get him for you. I'll be beck in a few minutes with the guild master then.''
''No problem and thanks.''
A few minutes later and I see Greta returning with a man in tow. He looks to be in his late 30s maybe going 40. Tall, muscles like a bodybuilder and of course don't forget the moustache. Must be near a foot in length even braided.
''Hell there, names Marcus, Marcus Blackwood. Local guild master at your service. You must be the new applicant Oscar mentioned yesterday. Ready for the test? Good let's go then.'' he said an grabbed me to pull me into a rather large training area, that opens up to the outside, in the back of the building.
''OK. So here's what we'll be doing. See that cage over there? There are 3 Goblins in there. As you might know goblins are considered demi-human and are no thread when alone but in groups they can kill an adult with ease. Your job will be to kill them. Do so without much trouble and you pass. If I have to intervene, you're out. No second chances. Life doesn't give second chances as well. So don't expect them here either. It's not that we try to intimidate you with the rules but as an adventurer you will be in situations where innocents might be endangered. If you can't handle a few goblins how would you even become an adventurer? Any questions? Need a weapon?'' he rattles down without missing a beat between words. Talk about hyperactive.
''No Sir, no questions and I have a weapon already.''
''Good. Start when I give the signal.''
Marcus gets into position behind the cage looking at me.
''Ready?''
''Ready''
And wit ha loud clang the bolt holding the cage close falls down and the goblins run out almost
immediately zeroing in on me.
OK gotta hold back a bit but not too much. Need to leave an impression.
When the goblins reached, me I engaged them with the old sword I bought yesterday. I played around with them for a bit, getting a hit in here and there as well as letting myself get hit a few times.
Around 5 minutes into the fight one of the goblins makes a mistake and is left wide open after a rather clumsy swing. Cost him his head. The other two were quite scared by the display and get struck down only minutes later.
''That was good work there lad. Not to bad for a beginner. Considering the skill you just displayed
I accept you into our ranks and grant you the rank of Copper Adventurer.'' He hands me a copper
plate. ''Ranks are Copper — Iron — Silver — Gold- Mythril — Orichalcum — Adamantite. With Copper Rank you can take Quest with F-Class difficulty alone and E-Class as a group with at least one Iron Rank.''
''Sound good. So how do I get a promotion?'' Damn I hoped for a higher starting Rank.
''Haha good lad, ambition will get you far, but to get a promotion you have to fulfil a quota of a certain class depending on your Rank. For Copper to Iron You'd have to finish at least 20 F-class quests with at least one extermination quest completed.''
''Good, should be doable for me. Greta would you help me find an appropriate quest please?''
''Follow me Silas and I'll see what we have ready.''
XXXXXXXXXX
Some time later I find myself in front of the guild house with a new quest.
'Cat lost. Please find my cat for me' with a bit of description of the cat below.
I just have the devils luck. Only stupid quests left. And no one who wants to partner up with a newbie. F*ck this sh*t. I'm an immortal mystical fox and here I am looking for a cat. Must have killed someone important in my last life to get such a punishment. Poor me. Welp I never said I 'm not petty or above cheating a little.

Timeskip: 2 years later
I can't believe it's been two years already since I arrived in this crazy new world. I got promoted to
Mythril in the meantime but had to get the whole Troupe in the guild to form a Party. Would have made me quite suspicious if I had cleared a few of the higher ranks alone like killing that hydra two months ago or successfully exploring some ancient ruins, not that it would have been a challenge for me either way. The Troupe rose in fame due to those achievements. We're quite famous here as adventurers and extremely well-known for our street and stage performances. And as I speculated Flowers seed was indeed should to the Six Gods. But the location has eluded me for now. I also confirmed that they are indeed players from Yggdrasil. They're the guild leaders of the Elemental
Brigade. Bunch of human supremacy idiots with a grudge against my Guild Ainz Ooal Gown, cause we crushed them when thy tried to invade Nazarick with the others they had gathered. 1500 high-level players and they still lost to us. Bunch of weaklings. Those six are not even Lv80 jet but I
got to plan carefully if I want to win against them by myself.
I also gained a moniker. They call me Silas the Trickster, talk about coincidence. The others got names as well. Kyra with the many Faces and funny enough Sigil the Seer. The whole party is simply known as the Troupe who would have guessed that. Concerning the six it seems that they haven't associated me with my alter self from Yggdrasil.
I'm currently sitting in the guilds mess hall together with the rest of the Troupe. We're celebrating our
latest achievement. We finally cleared all requirements for our next promotion, and we just sacked a big performance for the major in our back.
''Hey Silas how's my favourite trickster doing these days?'' comes the question from the table next to us as Walter Brigman and his party the Forge Fathers sit down on the bench. ''I heard a certain someone's party is up for promotion. I Can't believe it was only two years ago that you joined us as an adventurer with your group of ragtag performers. Congratulation only one Rank away from Legend. What are you going to to for the promotion quest? Any Idea what Marcus might pull out for you?''
Walter Brigman, an adventurer you don't see every day. He's kind of odd. Serious in one moment and the next completely ridiculous. It happened shortly after our first promotion as the Troupe. We were siting in the mess hall just like today and eating lunch, when suddenly a loud voice bellowed ''Silas Ikol, from today forth let it be known that you are my eternal rival. I am Walter Brigman of the Forge Fathers and one day I will have you acknowledge my superiority to you.''
That was the first of many more encounters with my new rival and let it be known that he is quite
fond of challenges. The worst was him challenging me to a race while he wore a green spandex with a red belt and orange arm and leg warmers while he continued to proclaim that he had the power of ''Youth''. It was the first time I meet someone like him, and we were friends and rivals ever since.
''Sorry Walter, haven't had the chance to talk with Marcus yet. We planned to ask after the big performance in two weeks. But enough about us what about you? Heard there were some complications with your last quest.''
''Please don't remind me. False Intel for the quest, and then we had a run in with a Cerberus. We almost lost our Percy over there.''
''Tough luck.''
''Ah but that's stuff from yesterday. I came here to show you something. Have you seen this flier yet?'' he asks and hands me a piece of parchment.

''WHAT SEED OF THE WORD TREE! THE HELL!''
''I know it's almost unbelievable they found one and put it out as prize money for this tournament.''
''I'll talk to you later, gonna register for this this right now.''
''Hahaha I expected nothing less of my rival. It's settled then. We'll meet in the finals and finally find out who's the better one of us and when not if I finally beat you, I'll finally have you acknowledge my skill.''
''You say anything?''
I swear if this is the real seed of Flower, I'll kill them if the did anything to her.
The only thing left of Silas presence was the dust cloud he left in his trail.
XXXXXXXXXX
Day of the tournament
Today's the day. When the tournament is over, I'll have Flower back. Can't believe it took me two whole years to find her. At least I know it is the genuine Seed of the World Tree I've been looking for. I saw her when they held the opening ceremony a week ago. Parading her around in seed form like some sort of trophy. Those six will rue the day they crossed me.
Over the course of the last month the city started to change. Everywhere the eye can see are decorations for the tournament. They even renovated the old colosseum for the fights and in every street throughout the whole city one can find at least one person talking about the tournament.
Foodstands on every second corner. Souvenirs stands on every other and don't forget the betting.
Since the list with the fighters been finished and posted at the colosseum entrance, people started betting on all sort of things. Who wins who loses and such things. The tournament itself attracted all sort of fighters, only humans of course. More than 2000 fighters registered, far more than anticipated but not really a problem for me. While I take part in the fighting the rest of the Troupe
has decided simply watch me fight and I quote 'One does not simply see a Supreme One fight every day. To not use this opportunity would be heresy.' They have strict orders to not intervene, no matter what happens and to keep up their disguise at all costs.
Only 10 more minutes till the first round starts. More than 200 fighters in a battle royal. Who thought that would be a good idea, should drown themself. 16 different group fights and all battle
royal stile with no holds bared even killing. Those six really outdid themself with this. I'll keep myself in the shadows during the group stage, after that one chance to surrender, or they die. I won't risk Flower for some humans. Toe I might spare Walter if I have to fight him. We'll see.
''Attention all fighters. Round one of the battle royal will commence in 5 minutes. All fighters in round one please come to the arena. I repeat all...''
That's my signal. Time to dazzle the crowd.
XXXXXXXXXX
''All fighters please pay your respect to our glorious gods.''
More than 200 fighters down on the arena bow or otherwise show their respect to the six 'Gods'
sitting in their own lounge overseeing the fighting.
''On my signal the fight starts. There are no rules for this fight. Winner is the last man standing. Good luck and may the six grant you their favour.''
A giant gong sounds and the fight starts.
Immediately two warriors start to attack me with their blades. Dodging the claymore I deliver a powerful kick to the head of one then block the sword of the other with my own blade. We struggle
a bit back and forth before both of us have to disengage to block other fighters attacking us. I finish of one of my attackers with a stab through the heart. Even the mythril blade I use now is to powerful for most of my opponents armour. The best they can offer is a bit of resistance before I cut them down. They're not worth my real weapons. Using the opportunity after killing the last of my attackers I cast [Shadowmelt] and slip into the shadows only striking unaware fighters. No one ever
said I have to fight faire.
The whole arena quickly descended into chaos. Everywhere fighters clash. Some with swords others with magic and let me tell you, when people start to fling magic left and right without a care for collateral damage, things started to get ugly really quick. Corpses of burned or electrocuted fighters lay everywhere.
Wow I honestly thought it would take more than one hour to get our numbers below ten fighters. Seems I underestimated some of those mages.
Standing inside the arena are the ten fighters who survived till now. A berserker wielding dual axes with quite the proficiency. A warrior carrying a huge two hander on his shoulder. Two rangers somehow survived as well. Two rouges. A monk. One Mage and two paladins are the ones left standing with me inside the arena. Around us lay the other either unconscious or dead contestants.
All stare at each other but no one moves or says anything. Then as if a signal was given the fighting continues. The warrior gets hit by a volley of arrows from the rangers and goes down. Some sort of truce between then it looks like. The rouges in the meantime start to attack the mage and one of the paladins each by themself. The monk clashes with the berserker. The leftover paladin goes into a defensive stance and keeps away from the fighting.
''It looks like we have arrived at the finally clash of this rounds battle royal folks. Who will be left standing when the dust settles? Let's find out in this glorious clash of fighters.''
''And there goes the mage. Dagger to the neck. Ohhh that looks painful.''
''Ah a draw between monk and berserker. Berserker knocked out and the monk unable to continue due to his wounds. To bad, I had such high hopes for the monk.''
''Ouch. Shield to the face and the rouge goes down.''
''Looks like the truce between the rangers broke down. One more bites the dust.''
''Only one paladin one rouge and one ranger left are left down there. Who's going to win? I hope the ranger wins, she's a beauty. Wouldn't mind having dinner with here. He he he.''
''There goes the rouge. An arrow to the knee and a sword to the head. One ugly combo.''
''Come on ranger lady you can do it. Beat this paladin black and blue.''
''And with a devastating rush the nice ranger lady goes down. What a shame folks. But let's not fret lost love but congratulate our win...''
And with in a fountain of blood the head of the paladin comes. Standing behind the now headless paladin, dripping with blood is Silas. The whole colosseum is deadly quiet.
''Are you not entertained?'' I say rising my hands in a pose. ''I can't hear you. ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED?''
And the crowd goes wild from the taunt. One should know that Solitaire knows how to make an entrance.
''WOW I can't believe it. With a completely unexpected turn of events Silas the Trickster, who I thought was defeated earlier in the chaos, takes the victory of this fight. Where the hell did he even hide?''
XXXXXXXXXX
16 battle royals later, about 700 dead fighters and the rest injured.
''Ha I knew it Silas. I knew we would both survive and win our group stage.'' bellows Walter from right next to me. ''You really know how to get the crowd going. How did you do that?''
''I could tell you Walter but then I would have to kill you, you know.''
''And here I thought we were friends.'' Walter says joking. '' By the way have you seen our competition? Looks like we're in quite the fight if we want to get to the finals.''
''Yeah I know. 'Lightning Lance Mira', 'Robin 'the Tower' ' and 'Pyromancer Norman' are the ones I personally know. They are all Orichalcum-Rank, just like us. Don't know much about the others.''
''The others are at least Orichalcum-Rank, if not Adamantite from what I gathered.''
''Then we've got our work cut out for us.''
''Attention everyone. The final pairings have just been announced. For all folks interested in the next fights, the listings will be put up near every exit in the next few minutes.''
''Well Walter I'll go and see who my opponent's going to be and then relax till my fight. See you in the finals.''

8th Fight
Spells/Skills []
Martial Arts {}
Standing in front of me, clad in a fur/leather armour and wielding a two handed battleaxe is 'Berserker' Lars. He's from the Borderlands next to the Beastmen Lands. A warrior who fights day in day out against the beastmen raiding his village. He's trying to win the tournament to get into the scriptures to get revenge I heard.
''Ah finally a worthy opponent. I heard quite a bit about you 'Trickster'. Let's see if your tricks work against steel as well.''
''That's for me to know and for you to find out. But you know you'll have to hit me first.''
''Fighters ready? Go.''
''RAAAAAAHHHHHH'' with a mighty roar Lars charges at me.
''You know if you want to win this fight you have to hit me no.'' I taunt him dodging his swings.
''STOP moving already and et me cut you down.''
''And where would be the fun in that? Come on try harder. I know you can do it.''
I continue dodging his swings while using toe openings to give him small cuts with my sword.
'RAAAAGGGG. No choice then. I'll just have to use my trump card now. {Flow Acceleration}
{Greater Agility} {Berserker Fury}.''
Suddenly Lars moves a lot faster than before. Caught unprepared he hits me on the arm, luckily not penetrating my armour. His swings get harder to dodge and his attacks harder to read. After another 20 minutes, Lars landed two more hits one me.
''You know if you keep up like this we'll be here for a few years before you beat me ad I really don't have the time nor the patience for that. So sorry in advance.''
''Huh what are you talking about? I'm clearly winning this...''
[Parry] [Counter]
Blocking the heavy axe and letting it glide useless to the side I twist my sword around his guard, cutting of both hands. Lars drops to the knees screaming, not believing what happened. I turn to the crowd while holding my sword at his neck waiting for their decision of his fate.
''Kill''''Kill''''Kill''''Kill''''Kill''''Kill''
[Coup de Grâce] And with a single strike right through his shoulder into his heart Lars is no more.

15th Fight Eryn 'The Flayer' vs Silas
''Kyhahahaha it's to bad that other guy got out of the ring. I couldn't even get a souvenir from him, other that an ear. Poor me, but maybe I can get something better from you. Don't worry I'll make you scream alright.'' Eryn said with a maniac expression on his face.'' Maybe you'll become my next great piece of art.''
''You do know that Water is my friend and that you won't leave this arena alive.'' My voice comes out in a neutral tone. ''I don't know out of which asylum you escaped but I promise you you won't have to go back. Six feet under is enough for you.
''Kyhaha I like my prey feisty, means they scream more. Come on give me a fight and stimulate my existence boy.''
''Ready Fighters? Go.''
Eryn draws his stiletto and his fillet knife. ''Come on, come on dan't just stand there or I'll have to come over there. {Pace of Wind} {Ability Boost} {Greater Abillity Boost} {Flow Acceleration} and don't forget {Greater Evasion}.'' And with near inhuman speed he charges at me. ''Don't worry I'll make sure to draw this fight out. Kyhaha.'' His blade passes right trough my neck and the Illusion fades away.
''You know the people here call me 'The Trickster'. I think you can figure out why on your own.'' I say appearing right behind him. A kick to the head sends him flying away.
''Arg. You'll pay for that. I'll hear your screams before we finish this.''
[Illusion — Clones] all around the arena clones of myself appear. We all speak in union ''You see this fight won't be as easy as you thought.''
[Precise Strike]
Appearing behind him again I cut into his right arm severing the nerves in the arm.
''Aww did somebody lose an arm? Need a hand?'' I vanish again with an [Illusion].
''Stop hiding already and let me cut you. You will scream for me.'' Eryn says while trying to cut down my clones. ''I'll find you and when I do you'll scream for me alright.''
Shink, and another cut appears on his body.
Shink
Shink
Shink
''Stop hiding already and fight me you coward.'' Eryn screams panting hard from the blood loss.
Another [Precise Strike] and his other arm drops useless onto the ground next to him. ''Don't worry Eryn I promised I'll take care of you, didn't I?'' Shink ''I'll take care of you alright.'' Shink.
[Illusion — Hellview] [Illusion — Ratswarm]
''Tell me how does it feel slowly dying and knowing that there's a bigger predator than you around and you're not the hunter but the prey?''
''K... K... Keep a... aa... away from me you m... monster.'' Eryn screams completely caught up in the illusions I put on him.
''Oh but come on we're having a bonding moment here can't you feel it?'' Shink
''Tell me Eryn why should I spare you? After all you didn'have any mercy for your victims either.''
At his moment Eryn is nothing more than a broken man cowering in the middle of the arena silently sobbing. ''Don't worry your little head Eryn. Your end is here and were you'll go you're at least save from me.'' ...'' For now that is.'' I whisper in his ear and plunge my blade right into his heart. So this is the end of Eryn 'the Flayer' serial killer and preferred assassin and interrogator of the Black scripture. Pathetic.
''What an awesome battle folks. I proudly present you your new 'Champion of the Six' SSSSIIIIILLLLAAASSSS IIIIKKKKKOOOOOLLLL.''
And the crowd that was completely silent before breaks into cheering.
[Call Sigil] ... Click
[Get ready Sigil, we'll swap places in a few seconds make sure to keep your disguise and keep your defence at maximum when I hit you.]
[Understood my Lord. Bring our friend back and good luck with your performance.]
[Replacement]
3rd Person P.O.V
Sigil now stands in place of Solitaire in the arena.
''Everyone I proudly present the Six Gods.''
All attention shifts to the tall door opening on the other side of the arena. Out of the gate step the six Gods.
Leading the group is Alah Alaf, the God of Life, clad in white robes.A Grimoire hanging from his belt. Behind him comes Surshana, the God of Death, clad in black metal armour with a scythe on his back. Next to Surshans is Undine, Goddess of Water clad in blue silk clothes with a trident in her hand. Gaia, Goddess of Earth, Clad in brown Leather, stands on the other side. Right behind them are Ventus, God of Wind clad in green clothes and Kasai, God of Fire, clad in bright red armour.
''That was an impressive performance warrior Silas. We we're quite entertained by it.'' Alah Alaf said, sounding pleased.
''Indeed. It's been quite some time since I saw someone quite as skilled as you young warrior.'' Gaia
says smiling at Sigil.
''But we didn't come here to congratulate you. We're here to present you with your prize and extend an invitation to join our Scripture Unit. We can discuss the matter after dinner in a more comfortable location.''Surshana said. ''As one of the six I declare you officially victor of this
tournament and grant you the title 'Champion of the Six'. You'll also receive your prize here as well.
Gaia if you please.'' Surshana says turning to Gaia.
''My pleasure. Dear Champion receive your prize wit hour blessing.'' Gaia says pulling the 'Seed of the World Tree' out of nowhere and handing it so Sigil.
BOOOOOMMMMMMM
Sigil suddenly goes flying and crashes into the arena wall. In his place stands a hooded figure holding the 'Seed of the World Tree' in hand.
''So you're the ones who dared to steal from me. Quite bold.'' the figure says raising his head while putting the 'Seed' into his robes. The crowd goes completely silent. In place of a face there's a smooth bone white mask with eyeholes, blue markings around them and under them. On top on the mask are two blood-red curved horns.
''Who are you? No not important. How dare you interrupt this tournament and hunt our champion?''
Surshana yells at the stranger.
''My name is not important but for your sake you may call me Solitaire the 'Laughing God'. You'll do good to remember.'' Not that they would recognise me now, last time we met I was still using my old epic grade gear. ''AS for why I am here. You stole the Seed from me and even dare to give it away as a prize in a tournament. If you think I'd let this insult go unpunished then you got something coming for you. '' Solitaire says with malice in his voice. ''If you prostate yourself before me now I might consider forgiving you.''
''YOU DARE. Crashing the Ceremony and even insulting us. You must have a death wish. I'll grant you your wish then.'' Kasai yells charging straight at Solitaire.
''Insects like you should know their place.'' Solitaire says and slams the charging Kasai right into the ground. Putting a foot on his head he says ''Now that's better. Better remember next time you address your better.''
''Kasai'' the other five yell and start attacking Solitaire.
''I didn't come here to play with mere infants.''
[The Burden of Atlas] the gravitation in the colosseum rises almost instantly crushing the five charging at Solitaire into the ground. ''I gave you a chance so bow to me. Now I have to set an example for others to remind them not to cross me. Taking your friends life should be enough.'' Solitaire announces as he grabs Kasai and holds him into the air. ''You brought this on yourself when you crossed the Laughing God and stole my property. No hard feelings right?''
Solitaire asks with a grin, as he snaps Kasai's neck. Crack. Pathetic. They became weak enough to kill without any effort at all. The now lifeless body drops to the ground. The surviving five stare at their now dead friend with horror and disbelieve in their eyes.
''Take this as a warning next time I won't be so lenient.'' Solitaire announces and snaps a small hourglass in his hand. Cashshop for the win.
[Super Tier Magic — Kyūbi no Kitsune] [Twilight Ascension]
Solitaire explodes into a cloud of smoke and out of that cloud rises a gigantic nine tailed fox. With a roar that shatters all windows in the city the world suddenly turns into a world of shadows. Like all colour was suddenly sucked out and only white and black remains. The tails start to whip around slamming into the walls and the ground destroying and killing all in their way. Taking a deep breath Solitaire exhales unleashing a storm of destruction into the direction of the imperial palace.
''REMEMBER WELL. CROSS ME AGAIN AND I'LL WIPE YOU OUT.'' and with a mighty leap Solitaire jumps out of the colosseum and vanishes into the shadows somewhere outside the city.
XXXXXXXXXX
A few days later, the city is still in chaos. The death of one of their six gods hit the people of the Theocracy extremely hard. It will take more than five years for the city to return to somewhat normal again. The surviving five 'Gods' would not leave their palace after the burial of Kasai ever again. Over the course of the next 48 years four of them would die leaving Surshana the only surviving God left. He would later fall to the hands of the 'Eight Greed Kings'. During the next 400
years Solitaire the 'Laughing God' would appear randomly around the world sometimes watching events unfold other times directly intervening with events. He would later become the bogeyman of the Theocracy. What Solitaire is up to now no one knows but the people whisper that he is just biding his time till he strikes again. The 'Eight Greed Kings' would later fall to their own hands due to their greed pitting them against each other. After their demise the 'Evil Gods' would rise and plunge the world into chaos. They would later be vanquished by the 'Thirteen Heroes'. During those hundred of
years Solitaire would hide in the shadows. But Silas the 'Champion' would lead the Troupe on a legendary hunt for Solitaire. Till this day the Troupe exists hunting Solitaire. It is rumoured that while the Troupe gains new members after one died in battle some believe that Silas might still lead the Troupe on his hunt for revenge even overcoming death but who knows and while the Troupe cut all ties with the Theocracy after they left on their chase, the people of the Theocracy still remember them and from time to time the Troupe is seen inside the Theocracy borders ding quests for the populace.

P.O.V Solitaire
Location: Clearing of the Beginning
Hours after the attack on the colosseum. I finally arrived at the clearing I first came into this world.
Kyra, Sigil and the rest were already awaiting my arrival.
''My Lord, good to see you unharmed. As you ordered we evacuated a few citizens then left ourself and teleported here. Sigil has received some first aid as requested but your attack didn't hurt him as much as expected.'' Kyra informed me.
''Good job guys. The operation was a success. This performance should have put the fear of 'God' into them.'' I say with a small chuckle. ''But now it is finally time to reunite with our long-lost friend.''
I pocus my magic energies into the 'Seed' in my hand. A short while later the seed starts glowing and floats into the air. Shorty after the light died down, there on the ground laid Flower just as I remembered here. Maybe not exactly as I remembered her, after all Flower didn't have Kitsune tails.
''Uggghh...everything hurts. What happened?'' Flower asks sounding disorientated.
''Hey Flower, remember me?'' I ask puling her up slowly. She's a bit unsteady on her legs most likely due to her long stasis. ''Here drink this potion, it's good for you.''
''Thanks Father.'' Flower says after she drank the potion.
Error 404. Brain not responding. Restarting... Brain rebooted.
''Father?'' I ask confused.
''Yes Solitaire, Father. Mother said that it would require your data to help me get a real body, so she prepared my 'Seedform' to absorb the data you used to wake me up to create a body together with the other data mother left me. So Father...May I call you Father? I'd understand it if you wouldn't want me as your daughter now.'' Flower said sounding scared, sad and confused at the same time. She started to sob shortly after.
''Shhhhh Flower everything is alright. I'd be happy to be your father might take me a bit to get used to having a daughter now, but we'll manage.'' I say while taking her into my arms. ''Everything's going to be alright now.''
XXXXXXXXXX
Location: Nazarick, 10th floor, Throne room
''So that's the gist of what happened since I arrived here. If you require more info on what happened after I reunited with Flower, we can discuss that at a later time then not much important stuff happened during those years. But there's something much important Momonga.'' I say pulling Flower to the front right next to me. ''I'd like you to meet my daughter Flower.''
