An endless void blocks the top of a run town staircase. In formation with 4 steps of space each are 6 sisters, each beautiful in their own way. They were dressed in maid outfits and their faces were as stoic as ever. They stood and watched up toward the black abyss, their eyes scanning it for the slightest change.
Then came the sudden clap of the sister at the top, Yuri Alpha. Their eyes however still remained on the black wall but their ears leaned toward Yuri. "Narbarel! Demiurge has an important task for you. Report to him in the throne room." Narberal nodded and made her way down the steps and through the tomb.
She turns the corner and her leg bumps into something knocking it back. It crashed into the wall and fell down to the floor. "Oh! Eclair, I did not see you. My apologize," she said bowing her head to the penguin butler. He got up back to his feet and tried to collect himself in front of the stunning maid.
"Oh it is fine, though do be careful, when I'm the ruler I might not be so lenient." This stung Narberal's heart however she didn't let it show. Everyone knew of Eclairs outrages plan to be leader of Nazarick. It bugged everyone however they let it slide since it was how he was created.
"Is that so? If I may give a suggestion, have one of your man servants carry you around, they are much more easier to spot."
A smug smile appeared on the penguins face and he brought out his comb to begin fixing his hair. "You are right, it gives me a view from above most. It most certainly represents the status I will get in the future. I however was just heading to the bathroom, it gets pretty embarrassing when they are in there with me."
He flipped the comb and held it tightly in his left flipper. "I shall be off, I am going to explode if I don't make it there soon. Not that I would complain about the extra work in the bathroom, if anything that would be great! However I would not do such a thing as to desecrate the tomb on purpose." He then waddled off without another word.
It took a lot of self control to stop herself from strangling the penguin but he was now gone. She can now continue to more pressing matters than a penguin who thinks he will be a ruler one day. She walked through the massive heavy doors that were the entrance to the throne room. Making her way to the throne she spotted the 2 demons of Nazarick.
"Greetings Lord Demiurge and Lady Albedo," again she said bowing. "I heard you had new orders for me."
"You are correct Narberal, we believe Pandora's Actor is using the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown to teleport to Momonga's office. He is still delivering financial reports and is unaware of what is happening, we need you to intercept him. Once you do send us a message and we will came to talk to him." Albedo laid out Narberal's orders for her to hear.
She bowed in confirmation, "I shall not fall." Then left off into Momonga's office, leaving the two demons back to their conversation. She stayed in the corner of the room watching the office for days on end, waiting. Waiting for the Momonga's creation to appear and deliver his monthly report.
'Not that I don't mind work I thought but I was hoping to do something else besides stare at an inanimate object for a while. No such thoughts must not be in my head. It is a mission for possibly the future of Nazarick, I am honored and will carry it out.' With that she continued her blank stare around the room.
Back in the New World… 1 year and 11 months after Satoru's rebirth…
Satoru looks up at the sky from high up in a tree. 'Disappointing, I was hoping for a buff tonight but it seems like I won't get one.' Satoru has recently told his father that he wants to learn to control the urges he gets during full moons. His father understood and decides to leave him alone during full moon nights now. His record has been 5 full moons before he finally succumbed and hunted with his father again.
'There must be a way to make it disappear, perhaps leveling up in my racial class will give me more control? That will mean my tier 2 spell will put on a small halt however and I need that quickly.' He hopped down on his tree and from memory continued down a path to a nearby goblin den.
'I have been scouting it for a month, no abnormal goblins, they seem to be relatively new as well so they must have low numbers. From what I have seen these past few days at the very least 15. However there could be more still in there hiding.'
'I can't take them all out even at this level however I do have a plan. I just got to hope it works.' He summoned 4 skeletons and then a 2 shadow creatures from the shadow of a tree and himself. 'I only need one of you to survive so do well.'
Due to the bond they share the summons knew what they were suppose to do and carried out. They made a charge to the cave entrance attacking the 2 goblins guarding it. They were completely caught off guard by the huge attack and fumbled with their weapons.
One of the goblins did manage to swing a club like object at a skeleton destroying it before it died. The other one was quickly take out by the rusty sword of a skeleton in combat. They continued their advancement out into the cave out of Suzuki's sight. 'I might not be able to see what is happening but I can still feel when they have died.'
2 skeletons died, then one of the shadow creatures, that was the signal. He ordered the remaining skeleton to continue the fight but the shadow creature to run back. The skeleton was quickly finished off probably due to numbers. 'I have little mana right now so I would lose a fight on the rest of the goblins more likely. But I don't need mana for what I am going to do.'
The shadow creature came rushing out and ran in the direction of Satoru, 'Alright how many?' Then 8 goblins came charging out, anger written on their faces. Some however are on the high of battle and had smiled on their faces. They all charged toward the shadow creature in a hurry to slay it before it can escape.
'Perfect!' He ran a few trees back onto a small man made path which he had some skeletons make. He ran up to a tree with a piece of bark missing and started to feel around it frantically until he felt a bump. He pinches the bump, which was a knot, and he walked back letting the strings lightly pass through his hand. Once he felt like he reached the end he grabbed it and ducked behind the tree opposite to the one with the string.
'I'm not to sure what this string is, I think from some insecticide probably but I remember my dad saying its as hard as steel though its so thin.' Before the raid he tested the string by having a shadow creature run through it, it was then cut into 2. Once the shadow creature ran by the string it prompted Satoru to tug up and back on the ends.
The goblins hungrily ran toward the shadow demon who was now jogging waiting for his masters signal. There faces grew into ones of happiness as they thought the creature was out of breathe. Then turned to pain and confusion as they hit the floor.
The goblins looked down to notice that their legs were now missing. The 4 in the front ran straight into the string, leaving them legless. The 2 lacking behind tried to stop but it was to late. 1 tried to fall to the floor to kill his momentum but he slid into it and the string cut up through his foot and leg. The other tried to jump over it but its foot was cut off in the process and it fell hitting his head on the floor.
The last 2 stopped in confusion but one was quickly hit with a magic arrow in the head from Suzuki. The other noticed the tiny boy and tried to swing his dagger only for the shadow creature to dig its claws into him from behind.
"Shadow demon finish off the rest!" It quickly went to work on the legless and footless goblins. They tried to fight back but the shadow creature easily dodged the swings from the goblins who can no longer mov. Satoru made his way back to the cave feeling the xp get consumed into him as the shadow creature takes another victim.
'Thank you to those old cheesy movies, what was it again? Home Alone or something? I remember my mom saying something about my great, great grandma loving it I believe. Well my other mom and grandma now.' He ducked behind a tree and checked his character sheet.
'Yes! I leveled up 3 times tonight! I'm now level 11! I think I'll put one in umbramancy, the other in werewolf, last one in sorcerer.' He gained a tier 2 spell and noticed his mana bar fill up a little more. He sniffed the air toward the cave for any signs of life and smelt nothing.
'It's better safe than sorry though!' He sent in his shadow creature to search through the cave for anyone and he came out alive. 'Alright! Lets see what we have here!' He made his way toward the cave and let the darkness sink into him. Luckily however due to his werewolf senses was able to see in the dark without any trouble.
They navigated their way to what seemed like a small room with cow skin on the floor, for probably sleeping. 'Luckily we got here before they grew bigger or got some stronger variation of a goblin like a hob. They probably would have attacked the village if I didn't find out.'
He searched under the cow skin and searched under the terribly crafted wooden table. The only thing they managed to scrap together though was a few silver coins. "Well they were an entirely now tribe. On the bright side they gave me tons of xp!"
Just then the stone on the side of a wall moved and out peeked 2 glowing yellow eyes. Suzuki readied another spell until out popped a goblin much smaller than the rest. 'A child? Also I thought I told my shadow creature to watch out for these tricks.'
It had no weapon and even appeared scared at Satoru. 'Come on! Your making me look like the monster here!' Satoru sighed. 'Well you wouldn't give me much xp anyways. I'm not even sure the children actually give them.'
He put his hands to the side, "Can you understand me?" It shook its head up and down in confirmation. "Is there anyone else in there with you?"
"No I should be the only one." Its voice was incredibly high pitched and even had a sense of fear in it. It shook as it looked at Satoru.
"Alright mind stepping a side real quick?" It did as told and Satoru searched the whole it came out of for any loot. 'Well alright seems like it was just meant for hiding.'
"OK! Come with me!" They walked side by side with the goblin child falling a little bit behind. 'I can't take him home. I know these people also don't take to kindly to dehumanizes either. Seems like my only option is to let him free.'
They stepped outside into the dead of night of the outside world. "I'm not entirely sure what to do here but you obviously can't stay here. I'm sorry but the only thing I can say is try and find another tribe."
"I understand!" It says and begin to take steps to presumably walk away. 'Another successful mission!' The goblin child only moved a few inches before it stopped, "Why?"
Satoru was a little confused by this statement, "I'm sorry, what was that?"
"Why!" The goblin child reached into its terrible loincloth and pulled out a crude looking dagger before charging at Satoru. Satoru wasn't fast enough to react but luckily he put up his hand just in time before he reached a critical organ. The dagger digged into Satoru's arm, causing Satoru to howl in pain.
The shadows creature quickly flipped into action clawing the back of the goblins head. Satoru recoiled back and fell to the ground. His free hand clutched the womb as he laid on the floor, tossing and turning. "Argh-," tears began to fall down his face as he tasted his first bit of real pain since coming to this world.
He got up tears in his eyes still, "You know what you don't deserve a proper burial. I'll have my zombies eat your corpse!" He yelled as his tears still streamed down. A smile forms on his face as he says, "Create low tier undead!"
He quickly recoiled to clutching the womb as the goblin child's arm came up weakly and picked itself up. "What? Did you turn into my zombie?" He said trying to ignore the pain in his arm. The zombie however only responded with groans and moans however.
A bigger smile formed on Satoru's face as the tears have finally stopped. "Perfect! Then you can have your home back! Stay in the cave and tomorrow I'll reunite you with your family!" Anger was in his voice and he felt fur almost form on his back in that moment.
He sat down and breathed in heavily trying to calm himself down. 'I was the fool here, I killed his family and forced him out of his home. Of course he retaliated, anyone would.' Similar thoughts played in his mind until he felt like he was calmed down enough for his mistake.
Making his way through the woods his mothers words repeated in his head. 'I shouldn't have done that, it was a huge risk.' He stumbled through the woods biting back the pain that coursed through his arm. His blood pouring down his arm and onto the floor leaving a trail behind him.
'Shadow creature, clean up the trail and put the bodies in the cave. Return to my shadow when you are finished. Try and report back to me when you are finished.' He didn't send a message spell to the shadow creature. He was hoping the mental link was good enough for him to understand the situation.
He went behind Alexis' barn and looked around the corner searching for anybody wandering the streets. Once he made sure it was clear he ran to his home, running beside the houses in the shadows. 'I better tell my parents about it. That blade looked unclean and crude who knows it could have also been poisoned.'
He slowly opened the door, trying to minimize noise and closed just as slow. 'That bastard, why did I trust him? Even if he was a child, I'm proof that children could be evil as well and I believed in that child's innocence.' Sneaking through the house he made it to his parents room.
He knocked on his parents door, "Mother! Father! I made a huge mistake! I need your help please!" His mom opened the door and upon seeing her child instantly casted a healing spell as if it was instinct. She casted 2 actually and a cure spell behind it, much to the dismay of Satoru.
She knelt down to his level and pulled him into a hug, "Are you still OK? What happened?"
"I'm fine mom, I was playing with a dagger I found and accidentally stabbed myself."
"You what!" Came the voice of his father from the room. "I'm sorry I wanted to train with it, like those warriors."
Her mother sighed, "Little Ulpa, I'm glad you want to try and get strong and such but your only 2. Please I don't want you to die this young from an accident. Get older and more mature, please."
The words cut a little deep into Satoru's heart. "I understand, I won't play with the dagger anymore."
"Also no magic for a while either."
'That's a tall order mother! But I understand your point.'
"I understand, I won't use magic for a while either."
"Thank you, how about for a while you be a normal kid and play with the others from now on." This came from his father who was now standing in the doorway. "I'm sure they'll allow you to play with them."
'No! Those kids! They still pick their nose dad! Please don't!'
"Understood?"
"Understood," he said with his head down.
"Do you have the dagger still with you as of this moment? Give it to me, you shouldn't be playing with such things so young."
"I tossed it in the woods."
His mother sighed, obviously disappointed in her son for doing something so stupid. "Don't just toss things to the side like that. Here we will go and find it tomorrow. Then you can go off and be a normal kid, got it?"
"Got it."
"Perfect! Now go get some sleep. Though wake us up if something is wrong, can never be to safe!"
"Alright, good night mother and father." Then he walked off to his room.
"Good night little Ulpa!" They both yelled back.
He went over to his room door and reached up to grab it. He opened and shut it behind him before running on his bed and jumping on it. 'Oh wow this feels better. I never knew having a dagger driven in you could hurt so much, always thought I could take it.'
He laughed at himself and rolled to his side. 'No magic for a while though? I can do that for a bit sure but playing with the other kids? That is gonna be torture of the finest.' He closed his eyes and then drifted off into a deep sleep.
Just to get this out of the way shadow demons and creatures will be two seperate things. I will have Ainz go off and learn different spell classes since he is no longer an elder lich. Also you have given me a lot to think about especially as he improves his racial levels, so thanks for that. Also no Ainz doesn't have accessed to his old items, they were linked to the DIVE gear on the back of his neck not his soul. Reincarnation will have him completely starting off in the new world from zero with no help from Nazarick. With that out of the way jester out!
