As Mona was star gazing, she noticed a large mound of moving dirt piling itself near one of the walls of Nazarick. Then with great speed grass grew all over the bare dirt, making it seem like a natural addition to the land.

" Hmm, that's [Earth surge] and Mare is using quite a few skills with it, she doing a nice job. " Mona thought, seeing the dark elf on top of one of Nazarick's outer walls casting magic.

" Lady Mona, my ask what you plan to do? " Demiurge asked, hovering behind the undead Queen.

" Hmm, I'd like to go see Mare and reward her for her hard work. What do you think she'd like? " Mona asked, looking at the Arch-demon.

" I feel sure she would like just to hear you praise her my lady. " Demiurge replied with a bow.

"Hmm." Mona hummed, rematerializing her helmet and floated down to where Mare was.

As Mare finished growing up the grass, she noticed Mona clad in armour and Demiurge floating down to her location.

" Lady Mona! " Mare exclaimed, instantly Recognizing Mona even in full body armour and running up to her excitedly.

" Why are you here, oh no did I mess up already? " Mare said sadly, worried that she disappointed her lady.

" Oh you poor sweet thing, Bukubukchagama why did you make her so timid? She needs to have more confidence in herself. " Mona thought, feeling sad that the elf thought she was here to scold her.

" Quite the opposite Mare, I'm very pleased with the your work, so far it coming along nicely. " Mona said honestly.

Her voice didn't change for its flat lifeless tone, regardless Mare smiled at hearing the praise, knowing that Mona meant what she said.

"Here take this as a reward." Mona said, presenting a ring of Ainz Ooal Gown to the elf.


" T-that's a r-ring of Ainz Ooal Gown! Only supreme beings are allowed to wear such an item, I couldn't possibly accept it. " Mare said stunned, nervously at the ring.

" There is no need to be so nervous Mare. This is a reward for your dedication and will also help you move freely in Nazarick and aid in your work, take it and serve Nazarick well. " Mona said, presenting the ring again.

Mare gently picked up the gold ring wit reverence and placed it on her finger, the ring automatically adjusted to fit her finger perfectly.

" Ahh, thank you so much lady Mona. I'll be sure to work hard to be worthy of this gift! " Mare said smiling happily.

" By the way my lady, I was wondering why you are dressed like that? " Mare said, wondering about Mona's current attire.

" Ahh well you see-,

"It's simple Mare." Came the sweet sounding voice of Albedo, her figure looked elegant in the moonlight as she descended from the air.

" Why is Albedo here, not that I'm against her company or anything. It's just that I can't think of any reason for her being here. " Mona thought, watching the floor overseer land gratefully.

"It's for our sake, she wanted to go unnoticed, it's like a disguise. If we saw lady Mona passing through, we would stop what we were doing to greet and praise her. If that happened nothing would get done, right my lady?" Albedo asked, walking up to the armour clad Mona.

" Right on the mark, you figured it out instantly Albedo. " Mona said, glad she didn't have to explain her reasoning.

" Wow she figured it out from the start, it's no surprise why she's the floor overseer. " Mona thought, impressed by Albedo's deduction skills.

"I'm the leader of the floor guardians my lady. But even without that title, I'm certain that I would sense your thoughts and feelings as if they were my own. " Albedo said smiling happily.

" I see. " Mare said in understanding.

" HUUUH?! " Albedo exclaimed, caching sight of the gold ring on Mare's finger and startling Mona. Though her undead face remained static underneath her helmet.

" Ahh. " Mona said, realizing where Albedo's eyes were looking.

" Oh #$%&, she's the jealous type. " Mona thought, realizing the situation.


" Is there something wrong my lady? " Albedo asked calmly, her switching to her usual smile as she looked at Mona.

"No nothing at all, Mare you can return to your work. " Mona said, grateful that her lifeless voice hid her nervousness.

"Oh, ok." Mare said, oblivious of the reason to Albedo's outburst.

"That's right, Albedo I should also give you one." Mona said, turning to the overseer.

" Give me one, whatever do you mean my lady? " Albedo asked with a slight flirty tone to her voice.

" Oh she's playing coy, her speed in changing moods are kind of amazing. Going from angry at something to flirting with me in the blink of an eye, well two can play at this game. " Mona thought, mentally smiling.

" Well I was just thinking about how you are in charge of a lot of the administration of Nazarick and are the floor overseer. So I thought it would be good to give you this ring to make your job easier, consider it a gift. " Mona said playing along, presenting the guild ring to Albedo.

" Thank you very much my lady. " Albedo said, taking the ring and placing it on her finger. As soon as she did that, her body noticeable tensed and her breathing began to hasten.

" Albedo is acting weird again, I guess she's really happy for me giving her the guild ring. Though I better get going before she tries something like she did in the throne room. "Mona thought, the throne room incident still fresh in her mind.

" Well I think I'll conclude my walk for tonight and head back in, I'll prepare a ring for you at another time Demurige. " Mona said, keeping her composure as she ignored Albedo's behavior.

" Of course lady Mona, I'll strive to be worthy of receiving such a treasure. " Demurige said with a bow.

" It would be a good idea to give all the guardians a ring as well. " Mona thought as she made her escape by teleporting away.

" YES! " Albedo exclaimed, shouting into the night with vigor.

Mona reappeared in her personal room on the ninth floor, she dispelled her armour and returned to wearing her usual attire. She then removed her large academic robe and boots and placed them in her inventory.

She now only loosely wore the black purple lined robe underneath it, revealing her heavily buxom, slim hourglass, deathly pale white figure even more.

As she walked up to her huge fancy queen size bed, she flopped on it on her back, causing her large cleavage to jiggle for a moment. She stared at the ceiling as she let her mind process things.

" Huha that was nice, this world is fascinating and beautiful, it's nothing like earth. Looking back on my life, I didn't really have much in terms of attachment, other than my friends and Yggdrasile. My parents died long ago in a car crash, besides them I didn't have any other close family being an only child. " Mona thought sadly, remembering the day she got the news.


"Huha what a pain, my back pain is getting to much to handle these last few days. If it wasn't for this fluffy chair or my meds I wouldn't be able to sit down for long. I need to reschedule my weekly appointment with my Chiropractor this week." Said Rina Muaziki, aka Mona in the game of Yggdrasile.

She was 32 years old and 6ft '3, she had a young beautiful appearance and had a pale skin completion that complemented her looks.

Her shiny black hair was short in the front and neck length in the back, her hair was styled in a short ponytail, and she had a buxom hourglass figure.

She was the secretary of a large business corporation in Tokyo, and often did more work than she was required. Her boss who was the head and CEO of the company often used additional vacation time as a way to bribe her to do a portion of his work.

She was currently sitting and working at her black smart desk in her office. A desk that operated as a large version of a very high tech computer and smartphone, and could do various other things from one spot.

Rina was typing away on a digital keypad on the desk with a large high tech flat screen monitor connected to the desk in front of her. She paused her typing as a notification went off on her smart watch.

" Finally, time for a break,. " Rina thought relieved at seeing the time on the screen. She tapped a button on her desk and moment later a drawer opened on her desk.

She pulled out four things, two orange pill bottles that containing her back pain and stress relief meds, a square silver canister and a large square black metal box.

She opened the pill bottles and took out the proper amount of pills, opened the silver canister and swallowed the pills and a gulp from the canister.

The canister had the letters L.H.N.W Bottle on it, it meant Liquid High grade Nutrition Water Bottle, a supplement nutrient rich drink. Rina then opened the black metal box, revealing an assortment of sushi, mixed vegetables,fried fish, shrimp, and rice.

Besides the tasty food, it was also the only time that gave her a break from work, letting her recuperate from the long hours.


" Huha this is exhausting, I'm overworked and too stressed out, at least I don't have overtime again. Anymore added work and I'm pretty sure I will passed out." Rina thought as she finished eating and rubbed her tired eyelids before going back to work.

Her appearance certainly showed her fatigue, her eyes had deep dark bags under them and she leaned heavily back on her special ordered soft office chair.

"Excuse me ma'am. "

"Huh?" Rina said, her attention was so focused on her screen she didn't hear the automatic sliding doors to her office open.

" I'm sorry to disturb you while your working, but the receptionist on this floor told me to to come here, are you Rina Kezuzuki?" Said a man standing outside the office doorway.

" Yes I am, my apologies if you have an appointment to see Mr. Yakaro, I wasn't made aware of it I'm afraid. I'll inform him that you've arrived Mr?" Rina asked getting up from her chair to greet the man.

As Rina got up, she felt several sharp pops in her already aching back, causing her back pain to spike for a moment.

The man was slightly shorter than her, given that she was 6ft'3. He was a Japanese American and looked around 45 to 47 years old, some gray could be seen on the sides of his dark brown hair.

He had on a navy blue business like suit and a nlack business tie, a dark charcoal grey overcoat, dark black blue pants with a black belt and black shoes.

" I'm Detective Teskien, I've actually come here to see you Miss Muaziki. " Detective Teskien said politely, introducing himself as he showed his police badge and credentials.

" Me, I'm sorry but what would a detective want with me?" Rina asked confused, wondering what the the detective was here for.

" Could one of our clients in the trading sector have done something again? " Rina thought, remembering the police coming to them a few other times.

" I'm here, because it concerns your parents Miss Muaziki." Detective Teskien said, his expression and tone sadden as he spoke.

" My parents, what happened are they okay? " Rina asked, her mind and voice flooding with concern, worry, and fear.

" I'm sorry to have tell you this sorry ma'am, there was an traffic accident earlier this morning. I'm so sorry to have to tell you this, they...they didn't make it. " Detective Teskien said sadly.

After that Rina heard nothing else, she broke down and wept as the news began to sink in.


As Mona layed there, she felt a tear from each of her eyes run down her face as she remembered that day, and the days that followed after.

"My mother's parents didn't even show up for their own daughter's funeral!" Mona thought, feeling old anger resurfacing. A moment later her emotional limiter kicked and calmed her mind.

"At least I'm not alone here, I have Nazarick and all my friends NPCs with me. Now that I think about it, Albedo probably followed me to the surface because she was worried about me, that was sweet of her." Mona thought, remembering Albedo's and Shalltear's words from the arena.

" It may have been just programming at first, but now Albedo and Shalltear are genuinely in love with me. It would be unfair and wrong to ignore their feelings. Plus I've never had much of a love life before, and I'd be crazy not to seize this opportunity. " Mona thought as she rose from her bed.

She fixed her clothes and reached into her inventory, pulling out a hooded robe and wore it over the one she was wearing.

It was one of her many sets of god class outfits. It draped over her feet and the sleeves went past her hands, the silk like fabric was shiny black nightshade purple.

It flowed down her figure and showed of her curves while covering her up. It had an intricate pattern design of dark lavender and gold emblems, with light purple accents on the edges of the robe.


"Huha, I don't know how I'm going to make that work, but I'll hope for the best. Now that I have some time to myself, I should see how the other features of Nazarick work." Mona thought as she set out of her bedroom.

" Ah Sebas, sorry if I kept you waiting. " Mona said, as she as she walked out of her room.

There standing a few feet away from the door was Sebas. The head butler was standing at a attention with his arms crossed behind his back, ready and waiting as always.

Upon seeing Mona he bowed to her like a true butler would bow when greeting the master of the house.

" Think nothing of it Lady Mona, I'm at your service, if you need anything just ask. " He said as he raised his head to greet her. Despite his aged appearance his eyes shined with energy and he radiated a powerful presence.

" I can really see the resemblance between Sebas and Touch Me, Sebas really pulls off the look of a gentleman butler. " Mona thought as she looked Sebas over.

" Alright then, just don't push yourself, I'm going to see about a few things while I'm here. Can you fix me some coffee? " Mona said as she sat down on a fancy cushioned wooden chair.

" Of course lady Mona, how would you like it to be fixed. " Sebas asked, being attentive as he was set to be.

" Hmm, just black coffee, but do bring sugar and milk. " Mona said as she pulled out a [ Mirrored of remote viewing] from her inventory.

" Of course lady Mona, I'll be back shortly. " Sebas said as he bowed and went to fulfill Myer request.

" Now then, let's see if this thing works like in the game. " Mona thought as she started to fiddle with the mirror.


" Hmm, hmm ah there we go. " Mona thought as she finished testing the controls of the magic mirror.

She had been at it for just a 1 minute and was now looking around the areas surrounding Nazarick.

" Here is your coffee Lady Mona." Sebas said as he placed a silver tray on he table near her chair.

The tray had a exquisite, well crafted gold lined white tea cup filled with pitch black coffee resting on a gold lined saucer. With it was a coffee pot, a small diamond pattern glass container filled sugar, and silver metal container of sweet milk prepared on the tray.

" Hmm, I had thought I would be able to taste the bitterness of unsweetened coffee. But I can barely register the taste of it at all. It's steaming hot and it only feels mildly warm to me, strange. " Mona thought after taking a drink of her coffee.

She swished it around on her tongue to get a better taste of it, but try as she might the flavor never got stronger.

" Maybe some sugar and milk will make a difference. " Mona thought as she got a silver teaspoon and put some sugar and poured some milk into her cup.

She took another drink of the now sweetened coffee, but she couldn't taste a difference from before.

" Huha, let's see how much stuff it will take before I can actual taste it. " Mona thought, putting more and more sugar and milk into her cup.


" Huha, finally got a adequate taste now, I always did like to drink coffee now and then, hazelnut was my favorite. " Mona thought as she finished her cup.

"Though I still can hardly taste it with my undead tongue. At least now I can tell I'm actually drinking coffee. " Mona thought, scouting around from the sky using the magic mirror.

While Sebas refilled her cup for the third time, adding enough sugar to fill the teacup halfway and then adding 1/3 of milk to the coffee as well.

" Hmm, what is that? Oh a village, we finally found a village. What are they doing, are they having a festival or something? " Mona asked, spotting a village straight out of the medieval times from the sky.

" Hmm, no not at all. " Sebas said with a slight but audible displeased tone as he looked at the mirror.

With a motion of her hand Mona directed the mirror's view into the village to get a better look at the situation.

The village was under attack, People were running around being chased and killed by people wearing armour with a gold lion emblems on it.

" Why would knights be attacking a village in the middle of nowhere, it makes no sense. " Mona thought, seeing people get killed by the people in armour.

On the mirror's screen, two young girls were running from some knights chasing them with swords drawn, one of them was just a child.

"This is awful, they need help. " Mona thought, seeing one of the knights strike the older of the two girls get in the back with their sword.

"If no one will help them, then I will help them, like I was long ago. " Mona thought, suddenly remembering something from her early days of gaming game.


" Ahh! " Mona screamed as she was attacked by a group of players.

" Not again! " Mona thought angrily, having her health bar reduced to the red.

This was not the first time that she had been PKed, she had been killed by other players many, many times.

This was number 15 just today for her, and it was only going to keep happening. Because she couldn't even properly play or level her character because she was repeatedly killed and losing levels.

" Ugh. " Mona grunted as she turned turned to face the group of PKrs, showing them her bare bone skeletal face.

There were five of them, all in gear far higher in level than she was currently. She had put up a good fight, but they were just to strong for her current level.

" Haha, just two more points then I can change classes. " said one of them, wielding a gaint great axe.

" Just hurry up and kill them already. "

But just before the guy could raise his weapon, all five of them were swiftly cut down with one strike for each of them

" It seems I made it just in time. " said a player standing before her.

He was a warrior wearing a full suit of sliver armour with a huge sapphire gem encrusted in the breast plate.

" Thank you, I've been getting killed all week, but why did you save me? You don't even know me, if you want gold or items I don't have much of either. " Mona said as she used an undead healing item on herself.

"It's because... you don't need any reason to help others! " the silver warrior said, pausing for dramatic effect as he posed, using a text emote as he did.

It appeared behind him and read in big bold red letters, "JUSTICE HAS ARRIVED!"


" Hehe, yes it was thanks to the help of a kind stranger, who's only reason to help me was because I was in trouble. It was the kindness of a stranger, that I was brought out of my depression and found true friends."

"It was thanks to Touch Me's help that I could enjoy the game, and found friends that were like, family. "Mona thought, gently smiling as she remembered her friends.

" What do you intend on doing Lady Mona? " Sebas said, looking to the undead queen.

" We shall help them, I can not in good conscience stand by and let others be slaughtered before me. " Mona said as she stood up from her chair. She opened her hand and equipped the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Sebas smiled under his beard, despite Mona's lifeless, flat, cold sounding voice, Sebas could clearly hear her resolve and determination.

" Put Nazarick on high alert, tell Albedo and Akura to come fully armed as well. " Mona commended, placing a marker on the girls location.

" At once my lady. " Sebas said with a bow.

" [Gate] " Mona said, casting the spell straight to the girls location.

" Listen Nemu, I'll hold them off while you escape, run as fast as you can." Enri said through labored breathing.

She felt sharp pain and blood running down her back from her back were the knight had struck her.

" I have to save Nemu, or die trying. " Enri thought as she hugged her sister tighter.

She knew she had no chance at stopping three armed knights alone, but she was determined to buy as much time Fournier little sister as possible.

"Enri." Menu said softly, looking at her older sister with tear filled eyes.

As Enri heard the steps of one of the knights approach them, she braced herself to be a shield for her sister.

She closed her eyes, bracing for the incoming strike that would end her.

"Huh?" Said one of the knight , lowering his raised sword at the sight of what he and the others saw.


Enri dared to open her eyes, expecting to be cut down then and there. Only she saw the knights starting at something behind her.

Behind the village girls they were about to kill, the three knights saw a tear in space itself form. It opened and revealed a circular portal filled with various shades of black and purple, shifting like splashing water.

A moment later stepping out of the portal, was a hooded being draped in an exquisite fancy deep nightshade purple robe with lavender emblems. Underneath it they wore a shiny black silk gold lined robe.

They carried a gold staff with nine intertwined serpents on top of it, each with a different colored jewel in its mouth. The being was clearly undead, the figure was unnatural thin and the robe was open, revealing ribs bare of any flesh.

" Gentlemen. " Mona said, looking at the two trembling village girls, then to the knights. Causing them all to flinch and shutter upon seeing her face.

Her face still had flesh on it, except she now had no eyes, only bright glowing blood red dots stared from the darkness of her empty eye sockets. From ear to ear she was now missing a few layers of flesh.

All her pearl white teeth were fully exposed and clearly visible, along with the remaining undead muscle. It looked to be forming a horrifying, permanent smile that would make the Batman who laughed beam with pride.

" Prepare yourself, death has come for you. " Mona said in her lifeless, cold, dead voice, making all who heard it flinch and tremble as they felt their blood turn ice cold.
