"You've got to be kidding me!"

In the conference room of guild Ainz Ooal Gown, there was wide round shaped table with symbols decorated on the surface, along with 41 chairs that were meant for the guild member. All of them were seemingly empty except for one, where his anger flooded his mind and punched the surface of the immaculate table, which caused a red zero icon to appear in his HUD vision.

"We built the Great Tomb of Nazarick together! Does it mean nothing to them?!"

After a few seconds of silence, Momonga slumped to his chair seemingly exhausted from his angry outburst.

"No, that's not it. No one Betrayed me, everyone 's livelihood is at stake. There were people who even made their dream come true. When choosing fantasy and reality, it's only natural to pick reality. It can't be helped that they all choose real life at the end..."

While Momonga grabbed [The Staff of Ainz-Oowl-Goan] guild class item and exit the conference room, he whispered to himself, feeling lonely more than ever with the sense of abandonment.

"I really miss you guys... I just wanted-"

Before he could finish his sentence, a beep alerted his HUD, indicating that a player entered the Tomb and logged on. Although not a member of his guild, it was someone that Suzuki knew who helped building the guild despite not being a heteromorphic character.

It was his longtime best friend, Shizuo Heiwajima.

"Yami has logged on"

Upon looking at the message, Momonga was elated to see that his best friend had come before YGGDRASIL was shutting down.

In the hallway, a shadowy figure was slowly walking towards Momonga and as it got closer to him, it fully revealed himself. While Momonga was over 6ft tall, this player was shorter than him where his height reached Momonga's chin and greeted him with a grin.

"Sup! Momonga"

"Yami-san! Good to see you!" Momonga happily greeted him "Welcome!"

Yami, aka Shizuo Heiwajima, was an "Honorary Guest" to the guild. Despite not being a heteromorphic character, Yami not only helped the guild to grow bigger but also helped Momonga in the past to protect him from PK guild until they were both saved from Touch-Me when some group were too much for them. Even as a human character, Yami despised PKers due to the fact that it reminded of him of bullies who picked on both Suzuki and his other friends when they were young. Similar to Touch me, he had a moral code where the strong protect the weak, in both reality and fantasy.

In real life, Shizuo was a bodyguard at the same workplace where Suzuki was working. As a trained martial artist who knew multiple different martial arts style, he was capable of both protecting and defending from many different people in real life. Originally, he was going to be law enforcement just like Touch Me; however, due to his slight temper issues and delinquent-type personality that he had, he could not make it, instead, he became a bodyguard for higher-ups at Suzuki's workplace.

Making 2nd place in the official martial tournament only to be defeated by Touch Me, Yami was one of the top players in YGGDRASIL. Momonga knew that in terms of human race in YGGDRASIL, Yami was at the top; hence getting the epithet: "The strongest human in the world". He incorporated is martial art skills and other into his monk character. Just like Momonga, he also invested lots of money and time into his favorite game. If Touch me was the strongest warrior and Ulbert Alain Odle was the strongest magic caster, then Yami was considered the strongest monk.

Yami paired up with Momonga lot more than any of the players he knew is due to the fact that he not only knows Momonga well as his character and in real life, but also synergizes well with him in a teamwork lot better than any other members of the guild, making them the strongest 2v2'ers in YGGDRASIL. Because of this, both Yami and Momonga were both called "The Unstoppable Duo"

Even in the game, his character looked exactly how he looks in real life. A tall blonde young man often was seen wearing his trademark black suit (loosely wore, not buttoned at all) with white shirt, black necktie, and blue sunglasses. He is also seen to carrying around a pack of cigarettes with a cigarette in his mouth in game, indicating that he did smoke in real life.

Despite his character seem lazy and not creative at all, Shizuo's character, Yami, was unique monk character that no other YGGDRASIL player had.

It was the fact that Yami had no mana nor magic attack.

By sacrificing his entire mana and magic attack, he put everything on other stats, mostly in HP, Physical Attack and Defense. Originally, the developers were against Shizuo's character design but since he had a good reputation in YGGDRASIL, they allowed it.

As they were walking in the hallway, both Momonga and Yami talked to each other.

"I've never thought you would come at the end Yami-san" said Momonga, with a relieved sigh and sending the emote ":D", "You were the busiest person i know, i thought you couldn't make it."

"Haha, It's the last day for YGGDRASIL server to be on. I can sacrifice my sleeping hour to spend the rest of the night in our favorite game before its gone forever. Besides, i can't let my best friend spend the rest of the last day by himself"

Hearing his words, Momonga felt appreciated what he said.

"I'm glad that you're doing this for me Yami-san, you and i are the only ones on right now"

"Really? I've thought at least one of them would come on. Are we the only ones that are on right now?" replied Yami, with a surprised expression.

"I'm afraid so..."

Hearing his best friend's tone, Yami could tell that he was really depressed, resigned even, that not one person of the guild had come on to see it to the end. He knew that Suzuki loved this game more than anybody else, even more than his love for the game. He did indeed felt mad that they just abandoned the guild like its nothing, especially when it's the last day, even he himself was not a guild member and sacrificed his sleeping hours to come to this place! All of the memories, fun times, ups and downs, etc was cherished for all the time that they spend all together.

Yami pushed those thoughts away for now and put his arm around his friend and smiled. He was not gonna let these last moments of their favorite game like this.

"Don't worry buddy. At the end of the day, I'm always here for you. I'll support you till the end, that's what i promised remember?"

Momonga then had a flashback where when they were both little kids, he was getting pushed around and beaten up by four kids until someone fought all four of them and saved him. From that day on, they both became close friends ever since.

"Now let's spend this last moment together in Nazarick and reminisce the old times"

As Yami was grinning and laughing, Momonga felt happy that he had such a good friend in his life and held the staff closer.

"Shizuo-san... thank you" Momonga muttered.

"heh..." Shizuo replied while smiling.

While they were walking the hallway, they reached the 10th floor, the throne, where the maids and a butler protected the floor stood in attention. All 6 of the women were dressed as French maids and the male was dressed up as a butler. They all bowed at them in respect.

"Ahh, Sebas and the combat maids of Pleiades," said Yami, while looking at all of them. "Not gonna lie, they were made really well."

"Indeed they are" replied Momonga, while looked at the setting to remember their names, "Their job is to guard the throne room"

"If i remember, nobody really ever made it to the throne room right?" asked Yami, with a curious tone.

"Correct"

After finishing remembering their names, Momonga looked at NPCs before deciding.

"As the guild master, i should move them around for one last time"

"Up to you man" Yami shrugged "We should get to throne room while we can, we kinda don't have much time"

23:52:39

"You're right, follow" said Momonga as he commanded the NPCs to follow us when we were walking down the hallway.

"The guild members will forgive me for doing whatever i want for just today right?" Momonga asked with slight nervousness.

"Nah, don't worry too much about it. I'm sure they won't mind since it's the last day" Yami replied with confidence.

When they reached to the throne room, the door opened in self and they all entered the room. For Yami, this was not his first time entering the throne room and reaching to the hall of it. Despite seeing it multiple times, he was still in awe of what he's seeing

"Holy Shit" said Yami while in awe, "This place never fail to impress me, you guys really went all out in here."

"Yes, we take pride to it of how much we've worked on in this room"

As both Yami and Momonga and rest of the NPCs were walking towards the throne, at the left side, there was a female NPC who was a succubus that had long black hair, two horns on the head and black wings at her hips.

"Albedo..."

While Momonga murmured to himself, Yami was checking her out with a grin on his face

"God damn" said Yami "No matter how much i look at her, she's the hottest piece of ass I've ever seen in my entire life. I gotta thank Tabula-san for creating this masterpiece"

"Yami-san please..." Momonga facepalmed.

After they reached to the throne, Momonga put the NPCS that were following both of them on standby. Momonga sat on the throne while Yami was standing on the right side of him while Albedo was standing up at the left side.

"I never looked at her setting, what was it again" said Momonga with curious thought.

He opened up her setting and started reading them. Yami, who was right next to him, was reading it along with Momonga over his shoulder.

"Jesus, that's so long"

"Agreed" replied Momonga, while scrolling through her setting, "Come to think of it, the settings maniac Tabula-san was the one who created her."

As the reached to the end, there was one statement that made them have a question mark on top of their head.

"She is also a slut"

Huh?

"A slut?" said Yami with a confused tone. "That's one thing that i did not expect to be there."

"I forgot Tabula-san is a big fan of gap-moe but i didn't expect he'd put it on Albedo..."

As Momonga sigh in the seat of his throne, he thought to himself about the changes he's planning to make.

"This is a bit much so i should be able to change it. Normally, i need a tool to change the settings, but since i have the guild staff with me..."

By using the staff, Momonga was able to change the setting as an administrator and erased the last sentence.

"Should i add something? Tabula-san wouldn't mind right?"

After few seconds of silence, he began to type in the setting.

She is deeply in love with Momo-

"Stop right there."

Before he could finish typing, he saw his best friend grabbing his wrist with his eyes that has 4 star shaped that was glowing.

"What are you doing?"

With the eerie atmosphere that felt like impending doom, Momonga started to sweat with a slight fear in his eyes. He completely forgot that his best friend was also looking at the setting as well. Not only he was embarrassed what he was about to put but also felt slight fear from him.

"i-i uh..."

Momonga tried to make an excuse but couldn't thought of one as the eerie atmosphere was getting stronger and stronger but then disappeared in a flash and smiled at him and lets him go.

"Ahahaha, i'm just kidding Momonga. What your putting is definitely better than what Tabula put originally so it's okay and besides i'm sure he wouldn't mind at all since it's the last day just like what i said last time."

"o-oh! i see..." replied Momonga, while feeling relieved but felt otherwise when he saw his slight dead looking eyes while laughing and sweatdropped.

"... i feel like he was half-serious"

"If you don't mind, could you also put that she also loves me as well?"

"E-eh?"

Momonga broke out of his thought and was surprised what Yami said.

"Come on, please?" asked Yami trying his best to convince him with his attempting cute girly(?) voice.

Slightly cringing and embarrassed what he was doing, Momonga gave up at the end

"O-okay, okay! Just promise me you'll never do that voice again Yami-san"

Momonga went back to the setting and finished typing the last line.

She is in deeply in love with both Momonga and Yami but can't choose.

"Oh-ho~ a love triangle hmm?" said Yami while mischievously grinning.

"i-i'm so stupid" said Momonga, feeling extremely embarrassed while Yami chuckled.

After finishing the setting and making the NPCs to bow, both Yami and Momonga started to talk about their past.

"Hey, you remember that time i called you bone daddy in front of everyone?"

"Oh please no, i still remember that day and then everyone thought we were gay for one another and dated" said Momonga with embarrassed voice, "Bukubukuchagama talked nonstop about our "relationship" and drew a Yaoi H-Comic of us"

"... oh yeah, i remember Bukubukuchagama was into Yaoi" replied Yami

Both Momonga and Yami shivered when they remember reading it.

"Do you also remember when you pranked Peroroncino and he got pissed off at you for days, Yami-san?" asked Momonga

"Oh Yeah! I remember when he wanted some good H-related videos and i sent a video of some 2 sumo guys making out with each other and it scarred him for rest of his life. AHAHAHA!" Yami fell down to the floor and laughed along with Momonga who was also laughing as well while sitting on the throne.

After they started to calm down from intense laugh, they realized that the clock was 23:59:30 and the server was about to shut down.

"So this is it huh?" said Yami, with a slight depressing tone.

"Yes, yes it is" said Momonga, with depressing and sad tone but failed to hide in his voice. "All the fun memories we had, i would never forget it"

Server shutting down in 10 seconds

"Same, from the start of our adventure to YGGDRASIL till up to now, it was really fun" Yami said with his hands reaching his pocket to reach for cigarette box and tries to smoke it out of habit.

"Oops, i forgot this is a game, not real life"

5.

"It truly was..." Momonga replied while tears flowing in real life

4.

"Hey Suzuki, see you at work tomorrow"

3.

"Same here Shizuo-san, Good-bye"

2.

At the end of the day...

Both Suzuki and Shizuo slowly closed their eyes with the same thought.

1.

We both really enjoyed it.

0.

00:00:00

00:00:01

00:00:02

00:00:03

00:00:04

"Huh?"

Shizuo opened his eyes back and see that he was not logged off and was still in the throne room for some odd reason. Confused, he looked around and see that his best friend was also confused as he was.

"Momonga?"

"Yami?"

Needless to say, Shizuo was shocked that instead of usual voice he heard from Suzuki, he heard a deep voice that matched with authority, unlike him who still had exact same voice. They both tried to open the console but nothing happened. They couldn't access the chat nor GM call either. Panicked and confused, they both yelled out the same thing.

""What's going on?!""

"What's wrong, Momonga-sama? Yami-sama?"

They both heard a soft and sweet voice called them out and they turned to look where the source of the voice coming from and saw that Albedo was staring at both of them with worried eyes and concerned look on her face.

Both Suzuki and Shizuo was shocked at the fact that a NPC was talking to them and had the same thought

What the fuck?
