"Speech"

'Thoughts'

YGGDRASIL, a popular DMMO-RPG game where much freedom was granted to the players of this Stylistic Revolutionary game. It was quite infamous for keeping its players in the shadows about its mysteries, allowing for its countless players to discover and explore the vastness on their own or in groups.

The game was quite flexible as it allows the players to choose from various assortments of races, jobs, and also various tools that they could freely alter the appearances of. Those being the weapons, armors, interior data, character visuals, and the advanced settings of their in-game residence or home.

Speaking of various groups in YGGDRASIL, there was a particular group that was well known for their strength, but also uniqueness. The guild was known as Quartet Sidius, said to be one, if not, the strongest group to ever exist throughout the expanse of YGGDRASIL.

You may be wondering, why were they so unique? This was because the guild in fact only house four players, each of them being incredibly powerful and all hailing from the heteromorphic races. That was another thing, the four of them were all apart of the heteromorphic race, mainly because they wanted to show their true power to those who discriminated against their kind.

To be honest, the only reason that the four players had created the guild was mainly so they would have a stronghold to store their items and also a place to relax. As time went on, they brought fame to themselves and became known as the Four Great Rulers of YGGDRASIL, mainly due to their staggering and overwhelming strength and prowess.

Whoever stepped up to try and take their crown had ultimately succumbed to their overwhelming power, only being very few players that managed to even make it through their great tomb to even be able to challenge them. The only guild that came close to even defeating them was Ainz Ooal Gown.

The tomb that they resided in was designed quite interestingly, it was designed to make sure that the raiders would have to go through four different areas of their massive property separately before allowing them to gain access to the next which the four rulers stayed.

The areas that the raiders would have to go through were extremely daunting and dangerous, if you weren't of the appropriate level, you would pretty much be struck down immediately. At each of the areas, a guardian was placed to guard the permission point that unlocks a single conduit that would allow for the raiders to arrive at the rulers.

Once all four of the guardians were to be defeated and the conduits were activated, the raiders would teleport from the center teleportation device to arrive at the Four Great Rulers where a similar concept was played. Each of the rulers stationed themselves at the north, south, east, and west with each of their areas designed how they wanted.

If the person were to SOMEHOW managed to defeat all of the rulers, then they would have access to the vault where everything was to be kept of extreme value, including money and World-Class items. But, no one had ever managed to do so, they wouldn't even manage to defeat the first ruler.

In all of YGGDRASIL history, the only guild to push them to a point was Ainz Ooal Gown, who they had then made allies with not long after their great battle. To say that the guild of Ainz Ooal Gown were surprised by the Four Great Rulers strength, would be an incredible understatement.

It had taken everything they had to even combat the first ruler, the battle lasted for ages despite the fight being a single person against over thirty players which were all level a hundred, it had ended in favor of the ruler who had barely managed to defeat them.

This brings us to the present time, in the base of operations of Quartet Sidius was a figure that was walking through a long hallway, this was none other than the Guild Master of the group. His name was Oborus, well that was his in-game name at least.

He looked to be a young teenager with straight raven black hair, he was fair skinned and had ruby red eyes. He wore a white t-shirt with an open black hooded jacket over the top. He had on black jeans and white tall combat boots. Oborus was of the Dragon race, one of the most powerful races recorded in YGGDRASIL history.

Despite his race, through his harsh battles and experiences, he gained the ability to switch from his current human form, as well as his dragon form. What else he had gained was the ability to have the ability to transform into a Dragonoid form, for normal dragon race users, this should be impossible. But, for him, it was thanks to a World-Class Item that allowed him to alter the properties of a race to a certain degree.

"To think that this game is about to come crashing down..." Oborus voice sighed. He had arrived in a large room that was made of obsidian and were lit up by not lights, but pure lava that streamed through the cracks in the walls and shot out like waterfalls at the sides leading to a throne that was stationed at the end of the long room.

This was his very own throne room, the throne room that was stationed at his section of the guild, the northern section. He sighed before looking at his hand and clenching it, his magic slightly releasing as it formed a red dense aura around him before disappearing.

"To think that all of our hard work is going to waste..." Oborus muttered. He then brought up his GUI before looking through his friends list, it appeared that the other three were offline, but his eyes widened when a name did appear online. "Momonga...sure, let's pay a visit."

Oborus then held his hand up in front of him before saying.

"Gate!"

"Eh? Oborus?!"

The surprised voice of a certain undead was heard, the voice belonging to none other than Momonga, the current Guild Master of the guild. His race was that of an undead, his attire had also consisted of a black fancy robe and a red glowing orb at the center of his chest. Momonga was looking in surprise as Oborous stepped out of a portal that soon disappeared afterward.

"Hey, Momonga. How have you been doing?" Oborus asked. He was smiling towards the undead that couldn't show expression really because of his race. Well, Oborus couldn't either since the game didn't have the functionality.

"Well, not the worst I suppose. Hero-Hero had just left and now it's only me, what about you?" Oborus could tell that Momonga was upset, despite him trying to hide it. Oborus sighed as he shook his head at the undead before saying.

"Same, I guess. The other three aren't on and I wanted to stay until the end..." Oborus sighed. He then looked at Momonga with a curiosity. "So, I'm guessing that you're probably going to stay online until the end. Am I right?"

"Yeah. It's just hard for me to believe that all the work that we've made is going to be gone so soon, it's just frustrating. All our hard work..." Momonga groaned. Oborus looked on with pity before placing his hand on the undead's shoulder.

"I know, I'm frustrated about it too. But, there's nothing we can do about it, at least we had lots of fun while it lasted, right?" Momonga was silent for a second before nodding his head, they then looked at the time and sighed. "Twenty minutes, huh?"

"Yep," Momonga replied simply. That was when Oborus heard a dinging sound and turned his gaze towards the bottom left of the screen, he widened his eyes when he read the text. His face, or inside face, showing excitement and also happiness.

[Diablo has Logged In]

[Angelo has Logged In]

[Frost has Logged In]

"Momonga," Oborus called out. The undead looked up and seemingly blinked, although he couldn't see it. "It appears that the other three had actually decided to join me in our last moments. I apologize, but I wanted to spend the time with them..."

"It's fine, Oborus. You guys were with each other for a long time, it's better for you to spend your last moments with them." Momonga assured. He also waved his right hand in a gesture saying that he didn't mind. "I was thinking of going to the throne room anyway."

"I see... well, it was nice seeing you after such a long time, Momonga."

"Same here."

"Alright, I'm back! Now to find those guys..."

Oborus had muttered. He had used [Gate] to teleport himself back to their base after paying Momonga a small visit, he realized that he was now standing at the center of their level, the center of all of the Four Great Rulers areas. It was a beautiful garden area with the middle being a large open building of sorts that had a bunch of water at the center of it.

"Oborus!"

Oborus heard his name being called by multiple voices, he turned his head to see three figures running towards him. He smiled widely as he watched them running over towards his location at the center. "You guys! There you are!"

When the three figures stopped in front of Oborus, he could get a good look at the three of them, one of them being significantly shorter than the rest of them. They all appeared to be male in gender and gave off a powerful feeling just by looking at them. They were, of course, the other three great rulers of the guild.

"Of course we're here!" The first person stated. He was fair skin and a lean and built body, his eyes were golden in color and slightly rounded on the ends. He had straight white hair that slightly covered his right eye, there was also a streak of gold hair at the front. His attire consisted of a simple white t-shirt with golden accents along with black jeans and white running shoes. This was Angelo.

"Did you really expect us to not come and spend our time with you?" The next person said with a snort of amusement. This person had fair skin and a lean build, his hair was black that was short on the sides and back but long on the front and top, it was also brushed forwards to cover his right eye. His eyes were red in color and were slightly glowing, the insides of the pupils were black though. He was wearing a white t-shirt with a black hooded jacket over the top, he had on tight black jeans and also black leather shoes. This was none other than Diablo.

"You better not have since we did, in fact, come all this way from the start together, right? Of course we'd spend our last moments with one another." The youngest of them stated. He was a young male with fair skin that looked around the age of twelve, his hair was light blue with the fringe being dark blue along with his icy blue eyes. He wore a simple blue t-shirt with a white stripe down the center, on his legs were a pair of black shorts and white running shoes. This was Frost.

Angelo was of course from the race of the angels, his name pretty much saying it and also the holy aura flowing out of him. Next to him was Diablo, and of course hailing from the demon race. Despite their races differences, they both got along great with one another.

The last person, being Frost. You can't really tell what his race is at the current moment since his name doesn't give you much of a clue, but he is in face hailing from the race of the Yokai, to be more specific, a Twelve-Tail Fox. You heard me right, not a Nine-Tailed Fox, a Twelve-Tailed!

What's the difference you might ask? Well, Twelve-Tailed Foxes in YGGDRASIL are considered to be an extinct race of Yokai that went out over millions of years ago, according to YGGDRASIL history. The only reason Frost is one, was that he had defeated a legendary beast that was classified as a World Enemy and gained an item that allowed him to transform from a Nine-Tailed Fox into a Twelve-Tail.

The Twelve-Tail Foxes are superior to the Nine-Tails because of their far greater strength and prowess when it comes to connecting his body to the magic leylines in the world, making his spiritual power far greater than that of the normal yokai that you would normally find roaming around the world. He is currently the only person to be of such species.

It would seem that all four of them were currently in their human forms, this being because the last thing they had done before this was walking around town, but since heteromorphics aren't too well liked, they had to take on such forms.

"I should have known you guys would come on, I don't know why I doubted it..." Oborus chuckled. If his character could cry, he would definitely be crying right now, tears of happiness that is. "How about we switch to our true forms, we should embrace that we are heteromorphics before our time is up?"

"Yeah! We should hold pride that we're such races!"

"I see no problem with that."

"Let's do it! Also, you should probably take on your Dragonoid appearance, Oborus. You know what can happen if you don't..."

"I know, I won't make that mistake again..." Oborus sweatdropped. The previous comments went in the order of Diablo, Angel, and then Frost. Of course, if he were to transform into his true form, then he would end up destroying everything if they were considering how big his form actually was. The same could be said for Frost, his true form was just as big!

While Angelo and Diablo may not have as big forms as the other two, it didn't mean they were weaker, not in any way at all! They were just as powerful as the other two, the size didn't matter when it came to these four.

They all then closed their eyes as their bodies glowed, Angelo was glowing gold, Diablo was dark red, Frost was pale blue, and Oborus was bright crimson red. When the light died down, they all looked at each other with smirks on their faces.

Oborus looked at Angelo, who had changed drastically. His body was now completely covered in armor that was mainly white in color with the edges being golden in color, the armor was rather tight so it presented his body well. Finally, covering his head was a helmet with a black visor that had white sharp angel wings on either side of the helmet that stretched backwards.

Diablo also changed, almost like he transformed entirely. His form was rather unique, his body was completely black in color, it was a dark as the night sky itself. His feet were now shaped like pincers and his hands turned into sharp claws, his head consisted of sharp white horns that pointed forwards along with sharp white eyes and no visible mouth. On his back were also a unique and terrifying pair of wings, they looked like the branches of a tree that constantly dripped out a black substance.

Frost had actually not changed much at all, the only differences were that he now had extra additions. He now had a pair of fox ears and twelve tails behind him, his ears and tails were light blue in color with the tips of the tails being dark blue and the insides of the ears being also dark blue. Oborus looked at himself and smiled.

Now in his Dragonoid form. He was a brilliant and almost completely black colored humanoid dragon, his body was slim at the waist but slowly got wider around his chest area. His head was sharp and had four white horns that spiked backwards from his head and were slightly bent upwards at the tips. He had white claws, a long black tail with a white spike on the end along with big black wings that had white webbing. His eyes were glowing red and his underbelly was white in color as well.

"Now, as friends and close comrades, we will meet once again some other time..." Oborus stated. He then put his hand forwards in front of them face down, they all then smiled before doing the same.

They all then looked towards the time on their GUIs and noticed that it was going to end all very soon, in fact, it was only a couple of seconds now. They then closed their eyes as the time could be heard ticking.

"To a good adventure..." Oborus stated.

"To a good adventure." The rest responded.
