Chapter 9 Unexpected Encounter. Explanation and Farewell
Gazing at the New World's clear night sky. Suzuki Satoru AKA Ainz, was thinking of todays events that escalated through strange means.
First of all, he can create spells and use them in a complete diverse ways. [Instant Teleportation] is a spell that he thought would teleport him or an object anywhere instantly. In theory, might be faster than the spell [Greater Teleportation] in terms of travelling speed and combat uses during in a possible one-on-one PvP battle or in a raid ambush.
And it succeeded without accident, when he tested out the spell as he saved the Emmot sisters.
Second is the upgraded intelligence of the Death Knight. While it may seem cool, he thought it would be terrifying if any summons he made, might have an upgraded intelligence and might as well be dangerous, when he thought about the probability that the creatures he summon would rebel against him, as they have the will to do so.
However, those thoughts were thrown out of the window, as the Death Knight he summoned has shown deep loyalty to Ainz, when he performed his orders like any summoned creatures would do to obey their summoners will just like in Yggdrasil.
Third is the {Wisdoms}. He thought that the {Wisdoms} he read were just an addition to increase his survivability chances when facing odds stack against him.
However like the Death Knight. Its uses were completely unexpected when the {Light Wisdom} skill lore showed him its true abilities to see and make people see the souls of deceased loved ones as a final farewell or probably much more where it came from.
The Overlord theorised that the {Wisdoms} he gained might have a secret ability he doesn't know about and would continue to surprise him as he continued his journey in the New World at this rate.
Fourth is the existence of [Tier Magic]. While it may be true that the possibility of players went to this world with him during the final days of Yggdrasil, but on a complete time gap.
He found out that the Six Great Gods appeared 600 YEARS AGO! a time gap between them and Ainz would astronomically trigger the answer to one of the many questions that Players were scattered around the world in random timelines, unknowingly if other Players exists and went with him at the same timeline or rather closer to his arrival.
"It seems unbelievable and true at the same time. Its frustrating." The Overlord stated as he thought more and more.
Ainz rubbed his nonexistent stomach feeling tired at his current situation.
Fifth and last of all is how he acted.
Its quite strange to be honest, he seemed to be calm during talks and more intelligent, and more wiser than he originally thought.
He somehow sees the flow of the battle and how it ended. Its like predicting the future where he would win in any situation possible and make his foes in unwinnable odds.
Not to mention the insane amount of luck he has. Its like everywhere he goes events would happen where he would find valuable information on the spot and use it to his own advantage.
"Haa~ I seem to be like a different person each time I interacted with the locals and it feels so natural." Ainz thought out loud at todays events.
'There might be a possibilty that there's another being like me who is cold and apaphetic towards the locals here. I must be careful if such a being existed here.' The Overlord thought as he talked to himself. Unexpectedly a voice is suddenly heard.
"You should be." A voice told him, its tone cold and emotionless, as if Death has arrived.
Alarmed, The Overlord took a stance, preparing spells needed to retaliate if an attack is made to strike him from somewhere.
The voice is then heard again "It seems that your prepared to fight. As expected of a person who has seen much battle." The Voice stated in an amused tone.
Ainz tensed as he scanned his surroundings to find where voice originated from, while also cursing at his carelessness.
'Who was that? A Player this soon? I need to be careful, this might be a hostile encounter." Ainz thought preparing to attack if needed.
After scanning his surroundings with magic, he couldn't find the source, as his magic scanner detected no one around the nearest vicinity.
Unconvinced he then tried again. The results were still the same nothing was found.
"It seems you're confused? Here let me help you." The voice said.
Ainz then felt his surroundings began to change as the world around him turn black as dark as the darkest of nights.
A second later he was suddenly standing in an deserted wilderness.
The air around him felt dead, as if death has spreaded to the air.
The land was nothing but made of sand with withered trees as well as the occasional tumble weeds being blown by the wind.
This gave Ainz a thought to his surroundings.
"Where in the world am I?" Ainz queried to himself, while looking at the land in front of him.
Before his thoughts could get any further, he was greeted by the same voice he was sent from.
"Welcome Ainz Ooal Gown, to the land of Desolation." Ainz looked behind him as he heard the source of the voice came from.
He saw an undead, more specifically a Overlord.
He has the same pearly white bones as Ainz and equal height. He is wearing a white robe that strangely reminded Ainz of a certain game called *ss*ss*n's Cr*d, but without the hood.
"Who are you? and what purposes you brought me here?" Ainz questioned the Overlord before him.
The white robed Overlord chuckled "My name is not of importance, but you can call me Death if you would." Ainz can feel the irony behind those words he had said
The now called Death continued "As for why I brought here? Its because I just wanted to talk with you" Death said surprising Ainz to a degree.
"Talk with you? What do you mean by that?" Ainz queried as he raised his guard up, not wanting to be attacked unprepared.
"Because it feels lonely with no one to talk to. Don't you agree?" Death simply stated.
Ainz looked at Death before he replied "Yeah, I agree with you. It feels lonely without anyone around here." The black robed Overlord said before he continued "However that doesn't change the question. What do you want from me?" Ainz queried while staring at Death.
Death chuckled once more, while touching his bony chin as he said "It seems you're much smarter than most Overlords came here before." Death said as he looked at Ainz before he continued "Very well. The reason I brought you here, is to tell you of your new abilities." Death finished while still looking at Ainz.
Ainz blinked his nonexistent eyes as he asked "My new abilities?" Ainz asked confusedly he doesn't recall any new abilities other than.
Then he realized 'Could it be.' Ainz thought 'It might be possible, there might be a reason for him to transport me in this dimension, other than the fact he wanted to tell me what my abilities are.' The blacked robed Overlord pondered
He then asked Death "Do you mean the {Wisdoms} are my new abilities then?" Ainz asked before Death walked forward to Ainz.
Death answered "Yes. But not at the same time Ainz." Death said confusing Ainz at what he had said.
"Then what are my new abilities then?" Ainz queried at Death, who stopped when he was near enough to Ainz.
Death looked at Ainz then answered "You should know by now." Death said and then he shrugged "Oh well, let me show you something." Death then casted a spell.
"[Perfect Image]." Death called out his spell as a image of a globe is then produced.
"This globe here, represents the world you are transported to." Death explained while creating another image but this time a word called Yggdrasil
"Yggdrasil here is a seperate dimension from the world your transported. While it may seem skeptical it actually relates to you and other players." Death explained, before Ainz asked a question.
"How is that related to my abilities? Is there any reasons you want to tell me this?" Ainz questioned Death.
Death looked at Ainz, while his skull face impossibly turned into a smirk.
This shocked Ainz. 'How is his face doing that!?' and other similar questions formed inside his skeletal head, before it was interrupted by Death who said.
"Good question. Why I'm telling you this? Because it involves you and other players." Death said as he pointed his finger at Ainz.
Ainz let out a confused "Eh?" as he still doesn't know what is he talking about.
Death continued, the smirk is still plastered in his face "Players are sent to this world--" as he pointed the globe "--As they have a feeling of incompleteness and unaccomplishment back in the golden days of Yggdrasil. They are transported, in hopes to relieve and revive back to their former selves as an adventrous people who wants to explore the unknown." Death explained his voice carried a hint of nostalgia while he spoke.
Then he continued in a solemn tone, with his face turn from a smirk to a frown "However. Things doesn't go as planned, other players who are affected by their character backstory began to change in personality, turning them into either villanous or self-righteous idiots who wants to rule the world they are transported to." Death said as Ainz could feel the anger and resentment in his words.
"They change the world multiple times, nobody even remembered what was the world like before players came in. Hell they didn't even care what was like before, as the said players destroyed the records which contains their history and culture and even killed the Gods that was SUPPOSED to suppress them!" Death ranted before a green light enveloped him, thus calming him down.
"However it will all change. And I need you to do the job." Death said as he pointed at Ainz with a smile on his skeletal face.
Ainz undead jaw dropped at the shocking revelation and said "Why me? Are there anyone who is much more capability than me?" Ainz questioned at Death, as he doesn't want to involve some sort of divine war between him and some players.
Death chuckled at Ainz as he said "No. You are the only capable person in this entire damn universe who can do this job for several reasons." Death said as he raised his hand.
He raised his index finger"First of all, you only act on logic rather on emotion, unlike other players who always do the latter."
He raised his middle finger "Second, is that your well experienced in PKing and PKKing players back in Yggdrasil. Am I correct?" Death asked Ainz.
Ainz nodded as it mostly true on what he had said.
Death raised his third finger "Third, is that you're an undead, the number 1 race on every players sh*tlist in Yggdrasil." Death said as Ainz only sweatdropped as it most likely true back in Yggdrasil.
Death raised his fourth finger "Fourth, is because you're unpredictable, why? Because of your undead Overlord class which is regarded as one of the wisest and oldest race in Yggdrasil, and also with your ultimate poker face, which is your skull head." Death said, as Ainz only facepalmed at the fourth reason Death made.
Death raised his fifth and final finger "Fifth and last of all, is that you are well aware of every abilities, items and classes Yggdrasil. Speaking of which, I almost forgot to tell you of your abilities." Death said reminding Ainz at his question.
"Do tell? I was waiting for it right now." Ainz said as he made it with an epic tone.
Death smirked as he said "Very well. Do you recall the Gods that I've mentioned?" Death asked Ainz, who only nodded.
"The Gods left an important fail-safe plan, should they die fighting players in order to suppress them." Death explained to Ainz then continued "And that plan is to give their powers to a player who thinks differently than other players."
After pondering for a while Ainz answered "And that player is me. Right?" Ainz said while Death chuckled.
"That is correct Ainz, and the abilities I've mention is your increase of level, stats, skill, and last of all the {Wisdoms} and the said wisdoms are the Gods ultimate fail-safe plan if the player reached this conditions. Which I've already mentioned as your reason." Death said, Ainz looked at Death, as he realized the reasons Death said are the conditions.
Ainz facepalmed at himself, at the realization that the reasons are the conditions itself.
"Then are you done? I'm sure there're still more to come I suppose?" Ainz questioned at Death, as the wind started to blow hard, as both of their robes started to flutter.
"Actually there is more, however I won't give it to you now as there, might be grave consequences in the future (A:N I mean you Fanfic criticizers.) as well as possible spies working for players. But I will give you this for compensating the lack of equipment I have to give." Death said as he gave a robe similar to Death wore, but with a hood and black in color.
Ainz stared at the clothing for a while before accepting it with a "Thank you." to Death.
"This should help you in the near future Ainz, It can be handy at in time of need." Death said as he started to power up.
"What are you doing?" Ainz asked Death.
"I'm building up a portal to help you leave this place. I'm the only one who has the authority to make someone enter and leave this land." Death explained to Ainz as a portal started to appear.
"You should go now Ainz, the portal should be enough to return you to the field where you left." Death said before he continued "Naturally I can return you back as the same way you came here. But where's the fun in that." Death told Ainz in an amused tone.
"I see." Ainz said as he skeptically looked at Death 'He must be lonely as hell, if he did the same thing to me to transport from here to there.' Ainz thought as he walked towards the portal.
Before he could step inside the portal Death called out to Ainz.
"Before you leave Ainz Ooal Gown, can you tell me your name? I mean your real name, as players have the tendency to use their usernames as their name." Death asked Ainz, while The black robed Overlord looked at Death.
'Well it might be a trap. However I can sense he has genuine reason for this. Oh well.' Ainz then looked at him and said.
"My name is Suzuki Satoru, nice to meet you Death." Ainz told his name as he made a respectful bow a Japanese ettiquite if you would.
Death then replied at Ainz "Please call me Shi. Satoru Suzuki-san." The now called Shi, made a respectful bow at Ainz.
Ainz chuckled 'Death, how ironic.' Ainz thought, before he stepped inside the portal and disappeared without a trace.
After Ainz left Shi looked at the Land of Desolation's dark sky.
'You will do great things Ainz. I hope your actions will change the view of the New World's inhabitants.' Shi thought as he left the spot where Ainz have left.

Scene Change.

Carne Village (Time: Morning Dawn.)
After Ainz left the Land of Desolation. Time hasn't changed one bit even after a hour staying at the Land of Desolation, just in time where Gazef asked Ainz where he's been.
Ainz answered at Gazef saying "I went to take a quick stroll." Ainz simply said and both of them returned at Carne Village.
Its already at Dawn as a group of people standing in front of Carne Village's path
We see Ainz with his new subordinate Knights and Magic Casters including the Death Knight standing in front of Carne Village to say farewell to Gazef and his men, for a safe journey.
"Thank you sir Gown, without you we might never see the next day." Gazef said thanking Ainz for the support he has for the village and his men.
Ainz replied to Gazef "There's no need for that Head Warrior. I'm sure there might people other than me who can help in those in need." Ainz said, before walking towards Gazef.
Ainz then use [Create Greater Magic Item] as a katana materialised in front of Ainz along with its sheathe.
"Here Head Warrior, a gift from me to you." Ainz said as he handed the katana to Gazef.
Gazef looked at the katana and asked "Whats this sir Gown? A gift from such as you?" Gazef asked Ainz who only chuckled.
Ainz answered "Lets say if you're in trouble and your blade has been snapped you should use it as a last resort if your out of options." Ainz said as he gave the katana to Gazef.
"I see. I will gladly accept it sir Gown." Gazef said as he grabbed the feeling the lightness of the blade and power coursing from it. (A:N Don't know its true or not. But just go with it.)
"Farewell sir Gown I hope we meet again someday." Gazef said as he rode onto his horse.
"Farewell Head Warrior hope you have a safe." Ainz said as Gazef left with his men leaving in a cloud of dust.
"Now then time to get to work boys, I don't want you people be so weak. From now on I will train you until you're strong enough to beat a Death Knight understood." Ainz said as his subordinate Knights and Magic Casters called out a "Yes sir!" not knowing what will be its training program.
"Good let's start now." Ainz declared to his subordinates as his red eye dots to glow brightly as imaginary flames made Ainz look like he was about to kill someone.
After 1 month everything started to change as his actions started to spread throughout the New World as the Dark Warrior.
