A/N: This is my attempt to tell a story if Keno and Satoru met a few years before Canon's timeline, and Nazarick comes later. This is strictly Satoru X Keno love story, Albedo and Shalltear might be second or third wife depending on the reader's request. However, it will be much later as I prioritize Keno and Satoru.
Also, I will give Ainz human form via skills from his new advanced races that are beyond Overlord, and one World Job Class I made up. I will mention the detail in the next chapters.
As for my crossover story, I will upload them soon as well.
Enjoy this work for now.
In the ancient past, there was a country call Inveria.
It was a small Nation located at the center of the continent, the population made by a humanoid variant called the Rainbow Eye, human Variation that adaptable to using Elemental Magic. It was one of the most successful human nations considering that humans are seen as weak species by many species. Although they were not as big as the human community on the south nor it is as strong as the Slane Theocracy, it is very powerful nevertheless.
However
Over 200 years ago, this Nation fell in an instant along with many nations at the heart of the Continent. It was a terrible tragedy where many creatures were all turned into Undead.
No one knew the cause of this event at first.
All that matter it caused fears to all the living being on the planet, and it caused panic among the living. It was to the point some people start hunting any intelligent Undead they see and blame everything on them. The sole exception of this were Undead such as Elder Liches whose strength feared even by the Hero of every races. It was ironic really, despite a Lich are more likely to have caused this situation, the people instead of chasing small fry Undead, trying to relieves themselves from the fear.
It was only later learned that it was caused by Elder Coffin Dragon Lords, a former Dragon Lord turning itself into a Vampire sacrificing the live of the living to gain power, it was known after he was defeated and confirmed the death. The detail of the accident had been unclear, some believe the Hero slaying Evil god did it, other believe another Dragon lord killed him, while others believed the Godkin did it. Either way for the people of that time, who done it doesn't matter, all they care about is they finally free of the fear.
However, the victim of their previous still exist and even now suffering…

This is a tale of a certain possible timeline.
If a certain child never met people who try to protect the world, lived in fear in her home and later chased down by the mobs.
0000
Keno Fasris Invern, the former princess of Inveria, nation destroyed ECDL.
Despite most of the people in her country turned into unintelligent zombie she alone, manage to retain some of her sanity. Not knowing what cause her family and friends turned into Undead she try to learn all the spell in the library of the royal family attempting to find a way to turn them back. However, despite so many years she spends she found no clue. She even try to leave her city to find a clue, but it only result in her being chased…
"Hey! Where is that Vampire?!"
"I don't know! I'm pretty sure, she runs in this direction!"
"Dammit, we need to kill that Undead to stop all this?!"
Inside a forest, a group of adventurer-like people made up of people from many races. They most likely come from a nation where Demihuman and Humanoid live in harmony. Right now they currently, chasing down a Vampire spotted by their fellow adventurer who done an investigation on the former capital of Inveria kingdom. The Vampire appears to be a child but able to cast 2nd tier spell, and thus considered a threat by them.
The identity of that vampire is of course Keno.
Al she been doing in the past years ever since she becomes an undead is cooped up in her city all by herself without anyone to talk to. However, recently adventurer been venturing her capital city and killing off her people. She immediately took action by attacking back, but she only knows how to use 2nd tier spell. The table turned on her, and she forced to escape, and ever since she been hiding in her capital.
(I don't want to die! I don't want to die!)
Inside one of the building of her remaining Capital sitting at the corner of the building, Keno try her best to not be found by the adventurer.
Loudly she said that in her own mind, despite becoming an Undead, the fear of death itself never disappeared. She even now while suffering living as an Undead still wish to live, and if possible return her family back to normal.
However, even if she wished for such thing this wish will never be granted.
She had yet known but soul burned via Wild Magic will never return, as it destroyed beyond repair. For that even if she somehow magically return the corpse into living being, they will never be the same.
In parallel, Universe she may have met people who help her move on from this useless endeavour, but in this universe she still unable to move on.
"Hey, I detected magical energy over there!"
(I got found out!)
At a distance, Keno heard one of the adventurers found her.
The man most likely a sorcerer like her, who has keener sense toward magical weaves compared to normal people. Thanks to her being a Sorcerer as well it is difficult o completely hide magical energy, which result in her being found out.
(I need to fight back! B-But how? S-Should I use this crystal?)
From her small bag, is a magic crystal she found at the treasury of her castle.
According to her father, the spell contained in the crystal is an attack based spell given by a god like entity to her family, in that case she should be able to fight off the adventurer. However, should she use it here, no is it really okay to kill them?
At the end of the day these people are just adventurer, they were on mission to kill Undead and so they did just that.
"Hey, over here! I can sense her! She definitely in this building."
"Alright force open the door!"
Keno heard a voice outside the building, one of the adventurers finally confirmed her location.
(I-I don't have a choice.)
Steeling her resolves.
She stand up and prepared herself.
—Crush!
The sound of the crushed door can be heard.
The adventurer, entered the building and spotted her…
"There you are! This is where you di—"
"Forgive me!"
She activated the crystal, and as a result.
"""WAAAH"""
SCREAM of pain came from the mouth of all the adventurers who barged into the building.
Their body start to disintegrate into dust bit by bit, the fear in those adventurer eyes as their body part crumbled would probably haunted her for the rest of her lives. However, with this she shall survive for another days—
"Eh?"
She noticed something happened to her as well.
She looked at her finger, and noticed that her finger is covered in sand, and that sand begin to spread, all over her body little by little. At first it was just her finger soon it covered her hand, and eventually…
"W-What is this? Ah—"
The liquid finally covered her whole body, and when completely covered her, her whole body begins to turn into stone. Or to be more specific she trapped under stone that encased her body…
(W-What is going on?)
Keno asked herself that, she is now still conscious despite being trapped in the stone, but she doesn't understand what happened to her…
Unknown to her this is exactly the effect of the spell she just casted through the crystal…
The crystal casted spell with two effect…
One Casted an AOE instant Death spell that caused the victim body turned to dust unless one have resistance or Immunity toward instant death. Second Casted spell that will encase anyone in stone via the dust of the people who died. This will cause an abnormal conditions in the form of binding and entrapping effect.
Back in Yggdrasil, the spell would probably would not have taken effect to the caster, but due to the friendly fire being off in this world Keno got caught in it. She might have been saved from the instant death due to her being Undead but she ends up being caught in the bind condition.
If this had been a Yggdrasil Player, or eve New Wolder of higher-level they might be able to escape this secondary effect easily. After all the spell itself not that strong, but Keno is just a second-tier spell user with few levels in True Vampire.
Her strength is ridiculously low it was comparable to a little girl, her magic only usable if she can chant but her mouth forced shut. Thus, she will not be able to escape, ever…
(W-Why is this happened?)
She asked to herself…
She is already unlucky enough turned into an Undead and losing her family, living all by herself for a long time in this city, chased by adventurer who blamed her for the Undead disaster, and now this?
(I-I don't want this. Father! Mother!)
She cried all by herself asking help to her parent that will never return.
0000
200 years later
200 years passed just like that.
In the end no one coming to her aid whatsoever.
Specifically, from time to time some people come to this city trying to rid the Undead, but on top of the zombie. Natural born Undead start to appear in this area as well, this result in less and less people to come to this place. Result in no one finding her at all.
By now her kingdom is already in rubble.
Keno herself has completely get her heart broken to pieces.
After all she can't even see/hear/smell/speak at all, the sole thing she can do is to sense magical energy around her and that's it. She unable to anything else, but acted like a doll, it is no wonder that despite being an undead her spirit broke. It might have been better if she can at least become crazy as it would have been a better mercy for her.
At first, she tries to find out how to get out of this spell, or even try to call for help. Later she come into realization nothing can be done for her situation and fell to despair, and start to think that it might have been punishment from heaven for her killing the adventurers. Eventually even the urge to think disappear from her hearts, as all she can feel is the uselessness of her existent.
However, for the first time of 200 years ever since she become like this, something caused her to make a thought for the first time in a long time…
(Ah, a god…)
Such are the thought she made as she sensed the energy coming way above the sky…
As if it just teleported here, an entity with unbelievable power that can only be seen as god appeared above the sky of the capital. The magical energy affected the world itself, that despite it being slightly far from her she can sense the entity.
Furthermore, the entity is without a doubt currently coming down to her city. At first the entity seems to have only walked around aimlessly absolutely without any intention whatsoever, but then it is start to make move toward her direction…
(Is the god coming from heaven to help me? Or was it to bring my soul to the afterlife?)
Such thought started to come to her mind.
It was her hope, the only hope she has to get out of this hell she experienced, to reunite with her family in whatever form it was, and so she pray in her heart that the gods will not change it's direction.
As if to answer her prayer, the god without a doubt currently standing infront of her.
She can't see it nor hear it, but she is sure that the entity is infront of her.
She also can sense the entity used some magic on her, and so without a doubt the entity goal is her and nothing else. Thus, more than before she prayed.
"[Greater Dispel]"
—Shatter!
The stone shattered, the magic that bind her for 200 years finally gone.
She can now see her surrounding, hear the wind, and smell the world once more, things that would make her in tears of happiness. However, beyond all of that her attention was lock into the entity infront of her.
Now that she can see and feel the Magic with her skin, she is now certain of this one fact…
(Ah, it truly is a god after all.)
In front of her stand a Skeleton easily mistaken to be an Undead by most eyes, but if you look closely he is an existent that must not be put together with such being.
On his head is a Halo supposed to be own only by angel it shine brightly but at the same time cover itself with dark flam of hell.
The eye, or where it supposed be is filled with red flame that as if it will burn everything.
Wearing a robe made of the night sky itself, and jewel that shine like a stars.
Divine yet demonic, and existences that transcended the concept of evil and good. An entity that represents the greatest fear of all live…
Death.
"Ah, llordi of the deatz. H-Hay tou cot to briit mi to the afterlii. (Ah, lord of the death. Have thou come to bring me to the after-life.)"
Using her mouth she try to ask the lord of death, but due to not using her mouth for a long time she instead make a nonsensical voices. Still, she believed the Lord of death know what she means, as that can be the only explanation for such a being to come to visit her.
Unknown to her the entity infront of her at this time only have one thought…
(What the heck is she saying? Is she speaking some strange language?)
