This Chapter will only contain a few discussions and the players' interactions with their NPCs. But there will be a few Omake scenes at the end of this Chapter. Also, Momonga will be mentioned in three different ways.
First, his original name will only be mentioned among the members of Ainz Ooal Gown. Second, The Name Ainz Ooal Gown will only be mentioned if any of the NPCs or Inhabitants of the New World are present and as for the last one, you should already know about his alias as Momon. So I don't want to remind you about that, but if any of you guys are somehow aren't familiar with this. Then I suggest you look upon the Overlord Fandom to know about it
Some of the Players will become Adventurers along with Momonga and I'll give them some alias and as their disguises in the next chapter
That is all there is to say And enjoy the chapter
Great Tomb of Nazarick, 9th Floor, Round Table Room
It's been three days since after saving Carne Village and capturing the Sunlight Scripture. Ainz and the rest of his friends went to the Round Table Room and started making discussions about what they're going to do next.
"So... What's our next move?" Takemikazuchi asked while he crossed his arms together
"Thanks to Village Chief and The scumbag that led the so-called Sunlight Scripture, We have learned more about the new world and its nations," Necropolis said "But if we planned on making Nazarick into an eternal legend as well as finding Akemi and My siblings, It would be wise to venture outside the tomb and learn more about the new world" He added
" I agree with him. The best option for that is to pose ourselves as Adventurers and gather information from the kingdoms" Nishikienrai suggested, The other members were making collective 'oohs' on the Ninja's Idea. Many liked the idea he suggested
"That seems to be a good idea. It'll be an effective way to gather Intel of this world and it will allow us to move a bit freely as we pose ourselves as adventurers" Touch Me said
"Oh! Oh! I want to go for it!" Peroroncino said excitingly while his sister snorted at him "Hmph, You just want to go out there and hit on every girl you see, you little pervert"
"Shut up! And I bet you'll just disguise yourself as some loli-type figure went you go out there" Her brother shouted at her
"True, But at least I won't be arrested for molesting women in public places!" She shouts back at her brother
As the two were about to start an argument with each other. Necropolis interrupted them by slamming his fist on to the table and created a loud bang upon impact
"ENOUGH!" He shouted, "Will both of you just stop arguing with each other for once and focus on the matter at hand?!"
"Sorry, Necropolis-san!" The birdman and slime exclaimed while the rest of the players stared at the Abyssal Lord, And there's a reason for this. (But that will have to wait) The one sitting next to him was Bellriver and he places a hand on Necropolis' shoulder
"Calm down, Necro-san. You didn't have to shout at them" Bellriver said
Necropolis snapped out from his sudden outburst and noticed the looks on his friend's face and huffs out for a moment "Sorry, I didn't mean to... "
"It's okay, Necro-san. Just try to calm down every once in a while" Ainz reassured him
"I'll try, but before we declare who going to be the adventurers. There are a few things to overlook here in Nazarick" Necropolis explained
"He's right, There are few things we need to handle here in Nazarick," Punitto Moe said "Like organizing our Treasury, Observing our NPCs and Maintaining the defenses in case if any raiders were to trespass in Nazarick"
"Alright, So what should we do first?" Herohero asked
"Well... I did manage to get this from Sunlight Scripture" Necropolis said as he puts down a crystal on the table and the members glance at the object
"Hey, isn't that..." Takemikazuchi said with familiarity but before the Nephilim could finish what he was about to say. Necropolis nodded his head to him
"Yes, It's the sealing crystal that Nigun guy used to summon the Dominion Authority a couple of days ago. I managed to save it before it could disappear" Necropolis explained to them
"Interesting, We might as well store that in the Treasury" Punitto Moe said and this caused Momonga to jerk up from his chair
"Uh... How about I do it" Momonga said, only to receive a chuckle from Necropolis
"Calm down, Momomga-san. I've already met Pandora's Actor" The Abyssal Lord said
The Overlord's jaw dropped in horror "What?!" He exclaimed while the rest of the members turned to the Abyssal Lord
"Really? What's Momonga-oniichan's NPC like?" Bukubukuchagama asked with curiosity
"Well... I should I put it..." Necropolis said while he places his hand on his chin in thought
Great Tomb of Nazarick, Treasury, a Few Days Ago
Necropolis went to the Treasury to receive [Soururerumu] from the vault and the only way inside the vault was a Gate that resembles a bottomless pit and was inputted with a predetermined password made by Tabula
Luckily, He remembers the password and clears his throat for a moment
"By this means you will acquire the glory of the whole world, and so you will drive away all shadows and blindness," Necropolis said and the gate opens which allowed him to enter
And what he entered the other side of the gate, He noticed someone sitting on a couch and when it stood up. Necropolis widens his eyes for a moment when he saw Tabula Smaragdina standing in front of him
"Tabula-san? What are you doing here, I thought-" Before he could continue what he was trying to say, He distinctly remembered that Tabula was currently busy with organizing the things he has in his room that he couldn't occupy anything else and that was a few minutes ago
"Wait a minute... Aren't you?" Necropolis asked and the impostor shapeshifted into his original form and it turned out that the impostor was Momonga's Creation named as "Pandora's Actor".
"Welcome to the Treasury, Necropolis-sama" Pandora's Actor greeted while he tapped his shoes together and saluted to him
"I should have known it was you, Pandora's Actor. And for a moment there, you would have fooled me by copying Tabula-san's Appearance" Necropolis said while crossed his arms and made a smirk to the doppelganger
"I am honored with such words and forgive me for fooling you like that" Pandora's Actor said while he respectfully bowed his head with his hand on his chest with respect
"It's alright, I forgive you" Necropolis reassured and the Doppelganger stood up perfectly
"So anyway. What brings you to the treasury, My Lord?" Pandora's Actor asked
"I'm simply here to retrieve one of the World Items inside the vault" Necropolis replied and the Pandora's Actor started posing while he makes a dramatic speech about the World Items immense powers and capabilities and assumed that Necropolis was going to use to change the world or something
'Oh my god... He's so lame!' Necropolis mentally said while he tried to hold his laughter by covering his mouth and looking away from the Doppelganger, After a few moments of resisting. He cleared up his throat and turned back to Pandora's Actor
"The World Item I'm planning to take is [Soururerumu] as well as some of my equipment that was stored in Chamber" Necropolis explained
"Ah yes, Feel free to take it as you wish. But before you enter, I humbly ask you to remove your Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown, My lord" Pandora's Actor said while he placed his hand on his chest and bowed his head down
"Why?" Necropolis asked with curiosity
"The Chamber you're about to enter is filled with golems that will attack you, should you wear the {Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown]. And to ensure your safety within the chamber, You must hand over the ring to me for while to avoid activating them" The doppelganger explained and Necropolis understood what he meant, removed the ring from his finger and handed it to Pandora's Actor
"Thanks for the warning" Necropolis thanked while he enters the chamber. A few moments later, He went outside the chamber with [Soururerumu] tied behind his back
"I must be heading out now," Necropolis said to the Pandora's actor and the doppelganger stood tall with his hand on his chest
"Bis Wir Wiedersehen, Mein Herr!" Pandora's Actor exclaimed and this made Necropolis' body stiffen up for a moment and turned his head to the doppelganger with a surprised look on his face
'Was that German just now?! No wonder Momonga doesn't want to face his NPC!' He mentally concluded and gave a single nod to the doppelganger "U-umu... To you as well, Pandora's Actor"
Great Tomb of Nazarick, Round Table Room, Present Time
"That's pretty much the whole story..." Necropolis finished telling his first encounter with Pandora's Actor to everyone
Everyone in the room was so silent while Momonga's red eyes disappeared and his jaw was wide open in complete shock, But a few moments ago while Necropolis explained his first encounter with his NPC. His Emotion Suppresser kept kicking into him when the Abyssal Lord explained the embarrassing parts of his NPC... A few moments later, The rest of the players excluding Momonga and Necropolis started laughing their heads off while some pounded the table with their fist
"HAHAHAHAHA! I never knew Momonga's Creation would be so lame!" Takemikazuchi said in between his laughter while he pounds the table a few times
"Geez, Momonga. Did you honestly make him just to look cool? If you ask me, It's the most hilarious thing you have ever done!" Peroroncino said in between his laughter while his hand was on his forehead
"I want to meet him! Maybe I'll head to the treasury and meet him myself" Bukubukuchagama said while she pretended to stand up from her chair and this brought Momonga back into his senses
"PLEASE DON'T!" Momonga begged with embarrassment in his voice and the emotion suppresser kicked in once again
A few minutes later, Everyone stopped laughed and Momonga heavily sighs with relief as they all returned to the discussion at hand
"Anyway, There's also another thing I have mention to you guys," Punitto Moe said and all eyes went to the Death Vine
"What do you have in mind, Punitto Moe-san?" Momonga asked
"Rubedo," The Death Vine said and brought confusion to most of the players were confused by this but some understood why he brought up one of Tabula's Creation
"What about her?" Yamaiko asked
"She's the strongest NPC, She maybe even be considered as the strongest being of Nazarick. In fact, She can beat Momonga fully equipped with his gear and Touch-san. So we need to be certain with her loyalty towards us" Punitto Moe explained
"Didn't we already confirmed the NPCs loyalty towards us?" Bellriver asked
"That may be true, Bellriver-san. But we can't take any risks if we let this one be" Ulbert said "And if we need to confirm her loyalty towards us and I believe Tabula-san should be the one to do it"
The Brain Eater blinked his large eyes once "Why me?" he asked confusingly
"We've confirmed that all of the NPCs in Nazarick are loyal to us, But an NPC has a stronger devotion to their respective creator" Punitto Moe explained "And since Rubedo is one of your creations, Your best choice in this sort of thing. Plus, you also know all her abilities and skills since you created her after all."
Some of the members were convinced with the Death Vine's reasoning and agreed with him. With Tabula being outnumbered by the approval of his friends with Punitto Moe, He groaned but conceded either way "Alright fine, I'll do it. if that makes all of you happy" He said
"And don't forget about Albedo" Yamaiko added and caused some of the members to turn to the Nephilim with confused looks on their faces "You see When walking my way here to meet up with you guys. I ran into Albedo and asked her if she slept well last night and this is what she said 'Yes, The Throne Room's floor was comfortable as always"
"Wait... You didn't give Albedo a room to sleep in?" Amanomahitotsu asked the Brain Eater
"...No" Tabula said sheepishly and some of the members dropped their jaws for a moment until Necropolis pounded the table once with his fist
"Moron!" He yelled out loud and some of them followed the Abyssal Lord "WHY DID YOU GIVE HER ONE?!" They yelled at the Brain Eater
Tabula raised his hand as if he was trying to block the cries of anger from his friends "Hey! She was just a pile of data back then. How am I suppose to know she was going to come to life" He defended
"Yeah, so what? We practically gave our creations their own rooms as well" Herohero said, having been woken up by hearing the fact Albedo has been sleeping on the floor of a couple of days. And the mere thought of this brought some unpleasant memories for the black slime
"I agree with Herohero-san, Even Pandora's Actor has some furniture to sleep in" Necropolis added and just this once, Momonga decided to let this one slide since the Abyssal Lord has a point about the difference between his NPC and Albedo
"How about you give her a room to sleep in?" Takemikazuchi asked
"Fine, I'll give one to her when I'm done talking with Rubedo," Tabula said with a huff
"Good. Oh, I just remembered something else I need to mention" Punitto Moe said
"What is it this time, Punitto Moe-san?" Tabula said with an annoyed tone on his voice
"Rubedo isn't the only one we need to talk about," The Death Vine said and Everyone including Tabula was confused by what he just said
"What do you mean?" Peroroncino asked and the Death Vine turned his head to Necropolis
"Necro-san. Is it okay if I ask you something?" Punitto Moe specifically asked the Abyssal Lord
"What is it?" Necropolis said
"Is it okay if you go to the Eighth Floor and see if he's loyal to us as well?" Punitto Moe explained. At first, Necropolis was confused but after a few moments of thinking. He realized what he meant
"No, I won't" Necropolis replied and everyone was confused by The Abyssal Lord's sudden refusal
"Why not? We have to make sure he's loyal to us as well" The Death Vine reasoned with him and this caused Necropolis to stand up from his chair
"Forget it! I'm not getting anywhere near him just to find out if he's loyal to us or not" He shouted and everyone was confused by the argument between Punitto Moe and Necropolis
"Mind if I ask, But which NPC are you two talking about?" Touch Me asked
Necropolis sighs heavily for a bit and didn't turn his head to the World Champion "We're talking about Ustanak... The Strongest Tank of the eighth floor"
"What's wrong about him? Isn't he one of your creations?" Ulbert asked and Necropolis shook his head without looking at him
"He isn't," Necropolis replied, "He's my little brother's creation..."
When Necropolis admitted that one of the NPCs of the Eighth Floor wasn't his creation but his brother's creation. It surprised everyone in the room since they weren't aware of the fact that his little brother who wasn't a member Ainz Ooal Gown created an NPC in their tomb
"Are you serious?" Punitto Moe asked and the Abyssal Lord looked away from the Death Vine
"I am, and it's one of the reason why I don't want to meet with him" Necropolis reasoned with the Death Vine "The second is this"
Necropolis explained to everyone about the data that was inputted during Ustanak's Development. And it turned out that, if anyone were to enter the area he protects through the front door, He'll undoubtedly attack them without a moment's hesitation. Even if that person is a member of Ainz Ooal Gown or not. And the only way to avoid this from happening is to unlock a hidden door that allows anyone to meet with him. But the door is locked with a password and the only one who knows the password was Necropolis' little brother. What's worse, Ustanak has the highest defenses against Physical and Magical attacks, immune to debuffing effects. Making him the toughest NPC Character in the tomb
"Why didn't you tell us?" Momonga asked while he leaned closer and the Necropolis anxiously sighs and turns to the Overlord
"It was a favor between siblings" He admitted to his guildmates "A few years ago, After conquering Nazarick as our own, I asked for their help in designing the third floor as well as its NPCs that resides in the floor. I owed both my little brother and sister a favor, and Their request was to create their very own NPCs in Nazarick. And after the completion of the Third Floor, I made the NPCs they requested"
"Then that means-" Punitto Moe was about to say it, But Necropolis finished what the Death Vine was about to say "Exactly. The original creator of Ustanak is my little brother"
"But since you're not the original creator for him doesn't that also mean-" Nishikienrai said but was interrupted as well by the Abyssal Lord as he nodded to the ninja "The same goes for Aureole Omega, But she's my little sister's creation and I can confirm her loyalty to us since she's easiest to approach. But as for Ustanak, He's the exact opposite" Necropolis explained them
"In other words, We need to find your brother and sister and bring them here in Nazarick" Momonga concluded
"Exactly, But don't forget Akemi as well, Momonga-san" Necropolis added and received a nod from the overlord
"Of course. The sooner we find all three of them, the better" Momonga said
And with that matter settled, The rest of the remaining time was used to discuss other topics like whose going to become adventurers. A half an hour later, the meeting had come to an end
Tabula was about to contact Albedo to meet up with him on the Eighth Floor. Until Necropolis approached the Brain Eater
"Tabula-san" He called out "Is okay if I tag along with you, I'm quite curious about meeting Rubedo myself"
"Are you sure you want to go with me?" Tabula asked with concern
"Yes and if she tries to attack me, Then I'll use my guild ring to teleport myself out from the eighth floor," Necropolis said "And I also need to confirm Aureole Omega's loyalty to us as well"
"Alright then..." Tabula said and he contacted Albedo by using [Message] to contact her
[Tabula: Albedo, Can you hear me?]
[Albedo: I hear you, Tabula Smaragdina-sama]
[Tabula: Listen, I want you to come here at the entrance of the Round Table Room, We're heading to the Eight Floor]
[Albedo: Understood, Tabula-sama]
After contacting Albedo to meet up at the Eighth Floor. Tabula then turned his head to Necropolis
"Let's get going then..." The Brain Eater said and Necropolis nodded as they waited for Albedo to appear to them. And once she arrived all three of them started making their way towards the entrance of the Eighth Floor while Tabula made a discussion with Albedo
"Pardon me for rudeness. But why are you here approaching the Eighth Floor, Tabula-sama?" Albedo asked
"We're simply here to visit your sister Rubedo and Necropolis will be tagging along with us to meet her as well and visit Aureole Omega in the Eighth Floor" The Brain Eater replied
"I-I see" Albedo understood and all three of them started making their way to Rubedo's chamber. But for the meantime, Tabula decided to make a conversation with her
"Albedo, It has come to my attention that I haven't given you a room to sleep in. Therefore, I'll be giving you one of the guest rooms to occupy in" Tabula said and Necropolis secretly frowns at the Brain Eater's words since it was his fault for not giving Albedo a room, to begin with.
Meanwhile, Albedo bowed her head a little to her creator "I am honored for such thing from you, Tabula-sama! I-If you don't mind, I was wondering if you could give me a room next to my beloved" She asked shyly
'Beloved? Ah, she must mean Momonga' Tabula thought and he would have cursed himself since he was the one responsible for changing his NPC's settings. But since that matter has passed, There was no changing it either way "I-I think I'll set up an arrangement for you. Also, since we're going to visit Rubedo today, I want to ask you something"
"What is it, Tabula-sama?" She asked
"What is your opinion about your younger sister, Rubedo?" He asked and Albedo beamed when she gave her opinion to her creator "I believe Rubedo-Chan is absolutely adorable and she will fight for her whole life to dedicate herself for all of Nazarick and The Supreme Beings" She said honestly to the Brain Eater
"I see..." Tabula muttered and was pleased by her positive view to her younger sister "Then about your older sister, Nigredo. What is her opinion about Rubedo?"
Albedo was silent by Tabula's question when he mentioned about the relationship between Nigredo and Rubedo. Tabula glances at the succubus and saw the worried look on her face
"You don't have to worry about me getting upset, Albedo. I simply want to know more about their relationship together and hopefully try to improve it" He reassured her and it managed to put the Succubus at ease
"Yes, Tabula-sama. I'm afraid that older sister doesn't hold the same opinions and regards as I do towards Rubedo-chan. In fact, She kept on believing that Rubedo is a potential threat to Nazarick and kept calling her 'Spinel' because Rubedo was made differently than the both of us" Albedo said grimly while she kept on a worried look on her face
'Well, Nigredo isn't wrong about Rubedo being created differently' Tabula thought to himself since he created Rubedo in a unique way than Albedo or Nigredo "Well... I can't just change Nigredo's opinion out on a whim, But I'll reason with her not to use a Derogatory term on Rubedo" Tabula said then all three of them arrived at the entrance of the Eighth Floor
The Eighth Floor, Wilderness was designed as the last line of defense since it was guarded with the strongest NPCs made in the Nazarick, Their also commonly referred to as "Them" and their powers were great enough to even match up with all of the Floor Guardians. When The members of Ainz Ooal Gown were transported to the New World, They unanimously decided to tell the other NPCs, Including the Floor Guardians, that entrance to the Eighth Floor is strictly prohibited unless they gain permission from the Supreme Beings themselves. And that's how dangerous Eighth Floor really is.
Three of them soon arrived at a small temple. On the temple's door was a single word readied as 'Red'. Tabula stared at the door for several moments then opened the door and entered the temple while being followed by Albedo and Necropolis.
Inside a single room was filled with things a young girl would want for. There were several stuff animals, dolls, mirrors, a bed to sleep on and so for. And at the center of the room was a young girl whose around twelve to thirteen years old.
She has a pale, porcelain-like face and large grey eyes, Her long silky straight black hair went all the way down to her back, held by a red hairband which reveals two small red horns pointing outwards. As for her clothing, She currently wearing what describes as a school-girl uniform with a white collared blouse, red ribbon, long-sleeve red golden buttoned kimono-blazer over it, a red medium-sized skirt, black stockings, and red shoes. This was Rubedo, The strongest entity in Nazarick
"Greetings Father, Albedo-oneesama, Necropolis-sama, It's a pleasure to meet all three of you today" Rubedo welcomed with a cute voice
"It's good to see you too, Rubedo-chan" Albedo replied
As for Tabula, He and Necropolis were talking to each other momentarily through [Message]
[Necropolis: Father?]
[Tabula: I think it came from the settings I gave her, So it's probably the main reason why she referred to me as a parent]
[Necropolis: Good enough, Now go talk to her]
Tabula then turned his attention back to Rubedo "It's a pleasure to see you as well, Rubedo. I hope you're doing okay"
"I'm quite fine today. Thank you for your consideration, Father" Rubedo said politely "Forgive me for asking you this, but what brings you to the 8th floor today?"
Tabula gulped when Rubedo asked him. 'It's now or never' "I just wanted to make sure you're doing okay. With the current situation happening right now and you being here all by yourself, I figured I should take it up to check on you. I'll be doing the same thing to Nigredo as well" He explained while he hid the intent of knowing how loyal Rubedo was.
But what he didn't expect from her was a lone tear sliding down on Rubedo's cheek. as for Necropolis, He was surprised by this and he was somewhat speechless by this "All this time. I thought I was a mistake, a failure you wanted to hide away from the Supreme Beings. My own existence must have brought shame onto your name and it's the reason why you kept me in this temple" Rubedo said sadly while more tears started pouring on her cheeks
Tabula was shocked by this and used [Message] to communicate with Necropolis
[Tabula: Necro-san, Say something to her]
[Necropolis: Alright...]
Necropolis then cleared his throat to gain Rubedo's attention while he puts on a gentle smile to her
"Rubedo, You're not a failure to us" What Necropolis said made Rubedo's eyes twitch a little "You're the embodiment of Tabula's passions in Nazarick and there's nothing about is imperfect, to begin with"
"But I was made differently. I'm not intelligent as Albedo-oneesama nor I have useful abilities like Nigredo-oneesama. So my existence in Nazarick was a mistake" Rubedo sobbed and lower her head
"That just nonsense, Rubedo" Tabula said and placed his hand on top of her head "You're different because that is how I designed you. You were created as the strongest of all our servants in Nazarick. And for that, your existence is never a failure to me or anyone else in Nazarick" He reassured her while he wipes off the tears from Rubedo's cheeks
she didn't have anything to say to him, instead she leaned closer to her creator while Tabula embraced her into a gentle hug. Albedo was wiping off her own tears of joy at the tender moment between her creator and her younger sister
Necropolis smiled as well, Then turned to the entrance of the temple
"Tabula, I'll be going now," He said and the Brain Eater turned his head to him
"Just be careful out there," Tabula said with concern for his friend and soon afterward. The Abyssal Lord went out from Rubedo's temple and was on his way to meet Aureole Omega
Cherry Blossom Sanctuary...
After Necropolis' long walk towards the Cherry Blossom Sanctuary, He couldn't help but feel the tranquility of the sanctuary due to the cherry blossoms trees that were placed at the sidelines of the pathway. There he could see a small Japanese-like temple and Necropolis reminiscences the traditional houses from ancient history he had learned back on IRL
He then stopped at the front of the entrance and turned his head left and right. Until he gave a single sigh and smiled
"I know your both hiding back there, Show yourselves," He said out loud and his instincts were correct as two figure popped out and kneeled in front of him
The first was a young man wearing a sun-motif mask and traditional Japanese clothing while the other one was a short-haired girl wearing a fox mask and wears a small and different version of the man's clothing (Note: The appearances of these two NPCs are just minor, So I adding in some details like their uniforms weren't important for me. The only info got from them is the Masks they wore while I was reading the Fandom)
"Welcome, Necropolis-sama," The two said in unison "To the residents of Aureole Omega-sama"
"I thank you both for the greeting, But please raise your heads," Necropolis said with a calm and gentle tone in his voice "Ootoshi, Uka-no-Mitama"
The two now known as Ootoshi and Uka-no-Mitama raised their heads to gaze upon Necropolis
"Forgive me for asking, But what brings you to the Sanctuary, My lord?" Uka-no Mitama asked
"I simply came here to check up on Aureole, Is she busy today?" Necropolis said while Ootoshi simply shook his head to the Abyssal Lord "No, She's currently inside the sanctuary, My lord" Ootoshi answered
"That's good to hear. Anyway, I'll be meeting with her now. Please continue the duties that were given for both of you" Necropolis ordered
"Hai!" The two said in unison and left Necropolis to continue their duties in defending the Sanctuary while Necropolis approaches the sanctuary door and stared at it for a while. Then he opens the door and enters the Sanctuary while he closes the door behind him.
After that, He takes a few steps closer to the next room and there, He saw Aureole Omega overlooking at a fishing pond at the center of an open area via an open window
She has short black hair, blue eyes, a body resembles that of a young Japanese girl even though she was created as an Immortal human during her development and wears the traditional attire of a Miko. Which only consists of a red hakama and a white haori
Necropolis gains her attention by clearing his throat once and the Aureole turns to him and brightens up while she approaches the Abyssal Lord until she was face to face with him "Necropolis-sama!" She greeted
"It's good to see you again, Aureole" He returned while he smiled at her
"What brings you to my home, Necropolis-sama?" She asked kindly
"I simply wanted to visit you and see if you're going alright," He explained to her "Is there a problem?"
"N-No, I'm just surprised that you came here and visited me" She replied to his question and Necropolis nodded his head and kept on smiling "Well, That's good to hear. But anyway, back to my other question. How are you today?"
"I'm fine today, My lord. Although, I am rather bored lately since I've been here in sanctuary ever since I was made." She said with full honesty "And the only things I've been doing around here is overlooking my servants or talk to my sisters from time to time"
"I see... Well then." Necropolis said then he pulls out what appears to be a small folding table and chessboard from his item box and placed it on an open area "How about we play a game of chess while we continue our discussion?"
"As you wish, Necropolis-sama," Aureole said while the two started setting up the chessboard and both kneeled on the floor. Necropolis was playing with the white chess pieces while Aureole playing with the black chess pieces
"So tell me, What is your opinion about the Pleiades?" Necropolis asked while he makes his first move on the chessboard and Aureole makes her move after his
"I like them, Even though I'm their leader. I still treat them as my elder sisters since they treat me the same thing" She explained while Necropolis made his move in the chessboard
"Alright, Next question. What is your opinion about the other Area Guardians?" He asked and Aureole make her move in the chessboard
"They're strong servants of Nazarick, But I don't interact with them since they're defending own areas throughout the whole temple." She answered and Necropolis makes his move on the Chessboard
"The Floor Guardians?" He asked while Aureole makes her move again
"The Strongest among the other Servants of Nazarick Excluding Rubedo-san since they guard their respective floors. While Albedo-sama is simply my superior" She answered and this time Necropolis clasped his fingers together and leaned closer to Aureole
"The Other Supreme Beings?" He asked and Aureole stared down at the chessboard
"They're the strongest and smartest people in all of Nazarick, And I will dedicate my life to gain the approval and continue my duties to honored them should the opportunity uprises to me," She said and Necropolis chuckled at her dedication to serving the members of Ainz Ooal Gown. Then he made his move on the chessboard
"Okay then. Now here comes the last question I'm about to ask you" He said while Aureole nodded and was about to make another move on the chessboard "What is your opinion about the Original Creator that made you?"
This question suddenly stopped Aureole's hand from grabbing one of the chess pieces and her eyes widen in surprise when he mentioned about her original creator. She then pulls her hand back and turns away with a sad look on her face
Necropolis noticed her look and reassured her "Hey, You don't have to worry about me becoming upset to you. Just tell me your opinion about her?"
Aureole then turns her head back But focused onto the chessboard while she still had a sad look at her face. Then she spoke quietly to him "... I miss her"
Aureole's answer made Necropolis feel speechless even though the original creator that made her wasn't a Member of Ainz Ooal Gown. She actually missed her. The Abyssal Lord had no words for him to say, Instead, he kept himself quiet while Aureole continues to explain her opinion about her respective creator
"Even though she wasn't one of the Supreme Beings that live in Nazarick... I still miss her, Because..." She said with a sad tone on her voice. Then tears started rolling down on her "She was like a mother to me. Every time I remember you talking to her about me, I always kept remembering her saying that she loves me like a daughter and always wanted to embrace me like a mother hugging her beloved child. It always makes me sad when I think about it"
Necropolis was surprised even more when she mentioned about something from the past and this triggered a flashback when Necropolis was making Aureole Omega for her sister
A Few Years Ago...
Necropolis was currently finishing the final touches of Aureole's settings meanwhile, his little sister was gazing on Aureole since she was the one responsible for designing and modeling Aureole
"And... Done!" Necropolis said after he finished coding Aureole's settings "Now that I have finished coding her settings, That means we're even with each other, sis"
"Umu..." His sister said neutrally. But Necropolis noticed a sad look on her face
"What's wrong? You said you wanted to have your very own NPC in Nazarick. Why do you feel sad all of a sudden?" He asked while he went beside her
"It's just... I really wanted to imagine if she were to come to life like an actual person rather than some pile of data" She said with a sad look on her face "If she were alive right now, The only thing I'd want to do is embrace her in a hug like a mother hugging her beloved child"
Necropolis stared at his sister for a moment, then he placed his hand on her shoulder which made her turn to him "Why don't we log out from the game and get some ice cream. My treat"
This made his sister brighten up a bit since she still loves ice cream despite the things that are happening in the real world "Hai!" She agreed and both players logged out from the game, Leaving Aureole Omega by herself. But unaware from the two, She had overheard their conversation from start to finish and remembered during her days in the 8th Floor until Nazarick was transported to New World and her becoming alive along with her servants and the rest of the denizens of Nazarick
Present Time
'How could she remember that? She was just an NPC when we made her. How could she hear everything my sister said about her?' Necropolis mentally asked and turns his attentions back to Aureole. But he almost forgot that Aureole was still sobbing at the memory of her Original Creator and she tries to wipe off the tears she kept making
Necropolis felt a bit sorry for her decided to put the question he has on his mind aside and tended with Aureole by standing up, went to Aureole's side and placed his hand on her head
"I know how you feel, Aureole" He reassured her "And being far apart from the ones you love. But don't worry, Even though she isn't here right now. I'll always be here for you"
Aureole seemed to have calmed down after being comforted by Necropolis' words. Then she smiled a little while Necropolis went back to his original spot "How about we finish this game. Is that okay with you?" He asked politely
"Hai!" She agreed and both continued playing the game without anything else to discuss. Several turns later, Both finished their game and Necropolis won against her despite Aureole specializing commander type abilities and numerous strategies she could have come up within a matter of minutes to win the game. But Necropolis thinks three steps ahead from his opponent without them noticing since he sometimes takes the role of a strategist when Punitto Moe isn't around to take up the role
"Well, I'll be going now. I just want to see if you're doing okay and I've other things to do in the Nazarick" He said while he stood up from the floor
"I understand, but can we play again soon?" She asked and Necropolis replied with a smile and a nod "Sure"
He then teleported himself out from the sanctuary to check on other things from the upper levels
Next-Day.. 3rd Floor, Abyssal Grounds
Dyrroth along with Alucard and Terizla were currently doing their duties in the Third Floor by overlooking some of the surrounding areas while the rest of the Abyssal Order was taking break after their shifts, Selena is hanging out with Aura and Mare in the sixth floor, Granger is interacting with Sebas since the two are in good terms with each other and as for Helcurt, He's been given a day off after the events of the Supreme Beings saving a human village
"Have any of you two ever wandered what the Supreme Beings are doing?" Alucard asked the two
"No, and it's better not to know about it. Since disturbing private meetings between the Supreme Beings are prohibited" Terzila explained
"I agree. Should any of the Floor Guardians interrupt the Supreme Beings meetings? It will bring shame and disgrace to the ones who interrupt them" Dyrroth added and he glances at the Vampire "You're planning on sneaking your way into one now, Are you?"
"I would never," The Vampire said while he holds both of his arms up in defense "It will not only bring shame to me but to Necropolis-sama as well. And I would never disgrace the man who created me"
"Us, Alucard. Necropolis-sama created us" Dyrroth corrected in a very rude way. And then...
[Necropolis: Dyrroth, Can you hear me?]
Necropolis' sudden message to the Abyssal Demon surprised him and replied back
[Dyrroth: I hear you, My Lord]
[Necropolis: Good, Can you gather the Abyssal Order and come to my room, please?]
[Dyrroth: You want us to enter your room? We're unworthy for such-]
[Necropolis: It's okay, Dyrroth. I'll allow you and the rest of the Order to enter my room. You don't have to feel unworthy about the invitation]
[Dyrroth:... I understand, Necropolis-sama. We will arrive there shortly]
[Necropolis: Take as much time as you need]
After that, Necropolis stops using [Message] and Dyrroth turns to Alucard and Terizla
"We've received orders to go to Necropolis' Room today, Want you two to find the others and tell them" Dyrroth ordered and The two were in complete disbelief when their leader said they're going to meet their creator in his bedroom
"Why? Are we allow to enter our creator's room?" Alucard asked
"Yes, and he just told me. But right now, Find the others and tell them about it" Dyrroth said and the Vampire along with Abyssal Guardian nodded at his ordered and went to find the others while Dyrroth simply decided to go to Necropolis' room all by himself
Necropolis' Room
Necropolis was in his bedroom organizing his belongings like magical scrolls, Books and hanged his World Class Weapon at the side of his wall. Then he cleaned up the dust that somewhat gathered in the corners of the room. A few moments later, He was done cleaning the entire room
"There... All done" He said while he cleans up the dust on his hands 'I gotta say, Momonga did a good job maintaining my room while I was away. Maybe I'll thank him when I get the chance'
Then several knocks on his door were made and Necropolis went to it and opened the door only to see Dyrroth standing in front of him
"Dyrroth, You came. But where are the others?" He asked and looked around while the Abyssal Demon bowed his head with his right hand on his chest
"I told Alucard and Terizla to gather the other members here and will arrive very soon," Dyrroth said
"Very well then, you may come in. We will discuss something once the others have come" Necropolis said while he lets Dyrroth in and the Abyssal Demon sat down on the chair while Necropolis sat in front of Dyrroth on the other chair and both waited for the others to come
A few moments later, Someone knocked onto Necropolis' door and the Abyssal Lord stands up from his chair "That must be them" He said as he approached and opened the door and saw the Rest of the Abyssal Order standing in front of him
"Come in, You don't have to be shy or anything," He said and lets in the rest of the Abyssal Order until they all sat down on separate chairs. But in Terizla's case, When he sat down on one of the chairs. It broke due to his massive size and this caused the Abyssal Order and Necropolis to stare at him
Then Terizla quickly rose up from the ground and kneel towards Necropolis "Forgive me, Necropolis-sama. I didn't mean to break the chair" He apologized to him
Necropolis was silent for a moment, Then he chuckled a bit and reassured the Abyssal Guardian "It's okay, Terizla. Accidents happen"
Then he used little of his magic to remove the broken chair and made a large armchair for him to sit on. Once Terizla sat down, so did Necropolis
"Alright then, Now that every one of you is here. I have something to ask you all" Necropolis said and the Abyssal Order waited for his question. Until The Abyssal Lord clasped his fingers together and leaned body towards them "How are you all doing so far?"
They were confused at first and started glancing at one another. Then they turned back to their creator "We're doing just fine, Necropolis-sama"
"Although our duties as Floor Guardians is starting to get boring from time to time" Alucard complained and this earned him a punch to the shoulder from Granger "Ow! What was that for?" He silently yelled at Granger
"Show some respect, Alucard. We're currently in the presences of our creator" Granger scolded at the Vampire which he hissed at him and turned his head away from him
Necropolis cleared his throat to regain the attention of the two "Oh.. I'm Sorry, Necropolis-sama" Alucard said and bowed his head to him
"It's okay, Alucard, I forgive you. But now that you've mentioned it, you guys have done nothing but continue your duties as Floor Guardians of the Third Floor. Am I right?" He asked with a smile
"Well... It is our role as Floor Guardians to protect the Abyssal Grounds after all" Dyrroth answered and the rest agreed with their leader
"Hm... If that's the case, I was planning on bringing one of you with me since Ainz-san and the rest of my friends decided to pose ourselves as adventurers to gather information about this world" He explained and the Abyssal Order made some collective 'oohs' from his explanation
"But since we're still making preparations for our plan, I won't decide who will I bring with me until further notice," He said to them and stood up from his chair "But for now, that's all I have to say right now, So yeah, You're all dismissed for day"
the Abyssal Order then bowed their heads and prepared to leave... Until Selena stayed in her seat and turned to the Abyssal Lord "Necropolis-sama" She called out and the Abyssal Order turned their heads to her
"What is it, Selena?" He asked
"Is it okay," She stopped for a moment while Necropolis sat down from his chair again "If I request something to you?"
"Sure, What do you have in mind?" He asked as he leaned closer to Selena
"Is it okay..." She stopped again, but this time it was longer than before... Until finally, She gathered up some courage to herself and told her request "If I call you my father?"
Necropolis' eyes widen for a moment and were trying to process her request inside his mind. But he somehow couldn't put it up in mind "Selena, Can you repeat your request once again?"
She breathes in for a moment then breathes out "Is it okay, If I call you my father?"
Finally, the thought of her request reached into Necropolis' mind and he lowered his head down. This made the other members worried that Selena made their creator upset and Dyrroth was about to yell at her for making such a request. Until...
"Selena..." He called out with a calm tone in his voice, stood up from his chair and approached her "If I heard you correctly. You want to label me as a father instead of your creator, Is that correct?"
Selena didn't say a word, instead, she hummed with an agreement and lowered her head "If that's the case, I want you to stand up" He ordered and that she did while she kept her head down with a sad look on her face
The rest of the Abyssal Order watched silently and assumed that Necropolis was going to punish Selena for making such a request to him, But they were wrong...
While Selena was prepared to face any kind of punishment, What she didn't expect was for Necropolis to embrace her in a hug and which caused her eyes to widen in shock and the other members of the Order including Dyrroth had the same expression as she did.
The hug lasted for a few seconds then Necropolis breaks apart from his hug to her and made a gentle smile on his face "Selena... I admired your courage greatly for asking such a request. And for that, I'll accept you as my daughter" He said to her, Then he turned to the other members of the Order "Same goes for all you. Because you're all my creations, my children. So if any of you have any objections to Selena's request. Just tell me and I'll understand"
The Abyssal Order excluding Selena glanced at each other for a moment, Then they bowed their heads to their creator "We have no objections, Father" They said in unison
"Good," He said then stood up from his chair "Now let's go and do some family bonding"
With that, Necropolis decided to spend the day bonding with the Abyssal Order like a parent spending time with his children and Necropolis really enjoyed his time bonding with his creations, Because it reminded of him and his parents when they were still alive and they were spending some quality time together. Those days were hard to forget, But this time... It was his turn to take the role of a parent now...
Omake: Parenting Advice (Inspired by LordKen2000's Story)
Necropolis making his way towards the Round Table Room to check if anyone was there and when he opens the door, He saw Touch Me, Ulbert Alain Odle, Warrior Takemikazuchi, Peroroncino, Yamaiko, Nishikienrai, and Tabula Smaragdina
"Hey, guys, What are you all doing here?" He asked and all of them wandered their eyes around the room while the Silver knight shook his head, approached the Abyssal Lord and he answered "The reason they're here is that they're asking for some advice about parenting"
Necropolis was curious at the point while the people behind the Silver knight were surprised and started waving their hands in denial towards the Abyssal Lord "Really? What for?"
"Their creation started requesting them to act as their children and they don't know anything about parenting" Touch Me explained
"Huh? Interesting, Guess I'm not the only one who faced the same problem" He said and all of them including Touch Me were surprised by this
"Did your creations requested you to become their father?" Tabula asked and received a nod from the Abyssal Lord "Yeah... But Selena was the one who requested it while I decided to take the rest as my own"
All of them were surprised when Necropolis actually lets his creations label him as a father and some of them started rounding upon him "Necro-san, Can you give us advice as well!" They exclaimed which made Necropolis a bit uncomfortable.
[Necropolis: Touch-san, Help me!]
[Touch Me: I'd like to help you, Necro-san. But I need a break, So you're on your own now]
The Silver Knight secretly teleports himself out from the room
[Necropolis: YOU TRAITOR!]
In the end, He did the best he could to give his friends some advice about parenting
Omake: Past Mistakes
Bukubukuchagama was watching over her creations for a moment on the sixth floor, Colosseum. Until she heard someone teleporting from behind and saw Necropolis "Necro-san!" She called out
"Hey, Chagama-san" He greeted back then sat down next to the pink slime and watched Aura and Mare "So... Did they request to label you as their mother?"
The pink smile nodded "Yeah, It surprised me at first. But since those two act like children, I think I can get the hang of the whole parenting role all by myself" She said and caused the Necropolis to groan in frustration and looked up for a bit "Is there something wrong?"
"It's nothing" He replied and stared at the sky for a moment until he remembered something and sat up straight "Oh! I just remembered something, Chagama-san"
"What is it, Necro-san?" She asked with curiosity
"A few days ago, Did you remember when we awarded Mare, one of our guild rings for his hard work in camouflaging Nazarick?" He asked and the pink slime nodded "Yeah, and?"
"When Albedo suddenly appeared and frighten Mare when she saw him holding one of our guild rings. Why did he hide behind me instead of you since you were closer to him?"
The pink slime somehow recalled that particular event and tried to find the reason why her creation decided to hide behind Necropolis instead of his creator... After thinking deep enough, She finally remembered and puts both of her hands at the sides of what appeared to be her head "Shit! I forgot!" She yelled and this made Necropolis jump a little
"What's wrong?" He asked while the pink slime started shaking while she slowly turns her head to him "Necro-san... Please don't be mad about me"
"Why?" He added with a bit more curiosity and the pink smile finally spoke "A few years ago, While I was working on their settings... I kinda inputting a little something in their settings"
"Really? And what does it say?" He said and lets her answer "... Necropolis is a father figure to them" She cited correctly
Necropolis was surprised by this while Bukubukuchagama was worried about him yelling at her... But what she didn't expect was for the Abyssal Lord chuckle a few moments later and he smiled at Pink smile "You're not mad?" She asked with confusion
"Nope, And here's why," He turns to the Dark Elves Twins "Does two kind of remind me of my twin siblings. Of course, there were times I'd scold them for doing something they shouldn't do. But I still love being with them. And since I see that in Aura and Mare, Then I'm fine with them calling me their father"
She was relieved for a moment and made a non-existing smile then Necropolis stood up and was about to leave... But he decided to say something before he could leave
"And since you're their mother. That makes us husband and wife, Right?" He teased and this caused the pink slime to blush, stood up straight and turn to the Abyssal Lord
"W-W-W-What the hell are you talking about?!" She yelled furiously while Necropolis simply laughed at her reaction "NECROPOLIS-SAN!"
Omake: New Changes
It was already nighttime and Necropolis was about to go to sleep for tomorrow. Until he turned his head to the right and saw his World Class Weapon hanging on the wall. He wasn't tired just yet and due to his class as the Abyssal Lord. He can stay awake for several weeks and He won't suffer and sleep deprivation in any way possible
He then stood up, approached his world-class weapon and holds it with both. He then noticed a dark aura surrounding the blade of the blade itself
"What the hell is up with this aura?" He asked curiously towards the sword and stared at it for a moment... Until he shrugged his shoulders "Eh, what the heck"
He easily dispels the aura around the sword and what comes next... Was horrifying
As the dark aura dispelled, it was followed by sudden screams of pain, agony, and sorrow. Causing Necropolis to jump in frighten and drops the sword into the ground while the Abyssal Lord takes a few steps back from the Sword. But he could still hear the screams in the sword which was making his spine tingle like ice being placed all over his back
He then gained enough courage to approach the sword, let alone grab it from the ground and used his aura to surround the blade... And at that very moment, The screams stopped and the entire room was deadly silent. He glanced at the sword and hangs it up on the wall
'Note to self, Never do that again' He reminds himself and went to sleep to try and forget about the whole incident that occurred today...
That's it for this Chapter and let me tell you, This one is currently the longest one I've made so far and it may not be the last...
And now here things I need to mention to all of you, just in case, if any of you guys were to ask me by leaving a review
Aureole Omega's Creator is Necropolis' younger sister, not Necropolis himself. And here's the reason why. She practically called in the favor Necropolis owes to her by making Aureole Omega. But her model was made by her sister while Necropolis handled the settings. Also, If any of you guys noticed the scene where Aureole overheard the conversation between Necropolis and his sister. That was an idea I got when I was watching the Anime and readied the Manga. If you ask where did it come from. I came from the scene were Shalltear was talking to Solution and Sebas about what she heard from Peroroncino from years ago
Next is this, Ustanak is from Resident Evil 6 and his original creator is Necropolis' younger brother. His appearance will come very soon and the reason why I put him in this story. Because Ustanak is one of my most favorite enemies in the game. I'll be adding another NPC, But you'll find out who it is very soon. (Feel free to guess who is it)
And finally, If you noticed Rubedo's appearance in this story. I asked Wacko12 for permission to use Rubedo's appearance in my story and he said yes before I continued making this story. So big thanks to the author that inspired me to make this story.
So that's all I have to say right now and as always, stay tuned for the Next Chapter.
P.S: If you asked about the Relationship between Necropolis and Bukubukuchagama. Let's just say, He tends to tease her when the time is right. That's why Peroroncino loves seeing her reactions when Necropolis teases her
