The Empire
Year 55 A.E (Ainz Empire) the beginning of his 10,000-year reign.
The history began when Ainz opened his eyes that day he left his world behind and joined this new world, his new world. Ainz has been ruling for 48 years over his Empire making it stronger, richer, and healthier. It took 7 years of war for Ainz to conquer the continent.
The Emperor leaves his tomb walking outside instead of walking onto open plains. He walks onto a stone path leading into a city. A sign floating above his head says
"Entering Sorcerer Empire capital, Supreme city."
The city is a sign of power and wealth for Ainz. When he conquered this continent, he began construction of this grand city expanding it from E-Rantel to Narazick. The lands surrounding also were turn into supreme city. The city would have taken thousands of years but with the use of magic and undead the city took 40 years to build.

Ainz teleports to a tower that overlooks this amazing city of his. He picks up a magical device like a microphone. He voices reaches every corner of the city.
"Citizens of the Empire, please hear me your Emperor. I have great news! Team darkness have found our sister continent!"
Cheers heard throughout the city cheers for team darkness.
"Please settle down I also have other announcements."
Few moments later the cheers died down.
"We have contacted two leaders from our sister continent and are eager to learn from us!"
Cheers erupt chanting Ainz names and after a few minutes the cheers died down.
"It a wonderful day so I'm asking for volunteers to join an expedition to travel to the continent to exchange knowledge, so if any scholars, blacksmiths, and anyone willing to go please head to Momon district and apply. The opening to join will last for 10 days."
Ainz looks down seeing many citizens head towards to Momon district.
"Now before you sign up another announcement about our sister continent. A heavy announcement that I don't want to say."
The noisy streets below go quiet.
"The sister continent are in war against an unknown foe that we have never seen before. I have agreed to send them aid, but I cannot send any living troops to help them because the enemy needs living hosts to survive. The enemy even after killed can jump into another body and continue to fight."
The sounds of worry flow through the streets.
"The enemy is called the forgotten because if they take over a body... the person who they were must be forgotten or more lives will be lost, so I won't be sending our living armies to aid them but I won't decline any volunteers willing to help them fight."
The city dead quiet for a Moment then slowly roars downed the city.
"If Momon fighting, I'll be behind him giving him all of my support." Said random warrior
"We can't let Nabe get all the knowledge to herself." Said random mage
"Ren having all the fun we should join him." Said random beast man
Ainz looks down to see a lot of people heading towards Momon district in full gear.
(people really do love team darkness)

Ainz teleports to the adventurer's guild. He stands before the guild master of the adventures. A little vampire girl with a mask over the side of her head, Mrs. Evileye von Momon.
"Ah I was wondering when you would show up Emperor Ainz after that announcement." Said Evileye
"Hello Evileye." Said Ainz
"So, Emperor Ainz, I could assume that you want the adventures to head out first and secure a beachhead for the fleet when they arrive."
"Exactly."
"How long do I have to prepare."
"four days."
"That's fine and How is the current Momon doing?"
"He is doing fine and defeated a lord in a duel quite easily."
"He better because that gear of his is the only thing remaining of my husband so he better takes care of it!"
"He will, he hasn't forgotten."
"Well if you please excuse me I have to get everything ready."
"You have a nice day Mrs. Momon."
[gate]
Ainz teleports above Momon district seeing the people flock to the signing booth. The signing booth is the former capital building of E-Rantel many years ago. Ainz flies over to see the people signing up. Ainz floats down landing beside the booth. Many people begin to greet the Emperor and start asking questions for more information about the sister continent.
Ainz tries to answer the best he can with the very limited information he received.
(I wonder how are those three doing)
Eastern continent
Team darkness gathered in Lord Akio courtyard without the various guards wanting to kill them.
"I am thankful for your aid yesterday and for you Emperor agreement to help us, so please accept these gifts." Said Akio
Lord akio gives them three items. A sword for Momon, A sage book for Nabe, and a ball of yarn for Ren with a chew toy for Silver.
"Hey what the hell! Why do I get a ball of yarn!" Said Ren
"Do you not like it." Said Akio
"Well no, but not the point." Said Ren
"I'll take it awhile Ren." Said Momon
Ren hides underneath Silver playing with the ball of yarn laying on his back knocking the ball in the air.
"Anyway, which way to the capital city, Lord Akio?" Said Momon
"It a three-week journey by foot. I'm sorry we can't provide horses to aid your journey." Said Akio
"It not a problem we wish to learn more about our sister continent." Said Nabe
"Lady Nabe, I wish to apologize for my rude behavior earlier, but we have grown hateful of the elves so please forgive us." Said Akio
"It's ok and why are you hateful towards them?" Said Nabe
"The elves were supposed to fight in the battle of red but they didn't show up and have joined forces with the forgotten in the former jade capital." Said Akio
"I see so Nabe it would be wise to disguise your appearance till this matter is resolved." Said Momon
"Agreed, what about the other races if there are more races?" Said Nabe
There are five living races: Humans, Elves, dwarves, demons, and beast people.
The elves are traitors
We humans were the strongest race on the continent but the forgotten are taking that mantle.
The dwarves were the first to meet the forgotten but they were also the first to disappear off. Rumor say a small band of dwarves living in the mines of youkai.
The forgotten made the demon's races split into two factions:
The dragon faction and the serpent faction.
The dragon faction has the last remaining ancient dragon and wants to kill everything including innocent people.
The Serpent faction leaders is a basilisk whom wants to kill the forgotten but wants peace with every other race. The basilisk leader was in a fight with the Dragon faction and is at death's door.
Beast People have still been neutral throughout the conflict only defending their borders within jade kingdom but the forgotten are begin pushing inside their territory.
"Emperor Ainz needs to be notified but we must start leaving as well." Said Momon
"Agreed." Said Nabe
"Yes, please hurry to the capital to ensure no conflict when your Emperor arrives."
"Let go."
"Before you go I have one more request." Said Akio
"I wish my personal bodyguard Kenji escort you to prevent any misunderstandings between on cultural and traditions and knows the territory well."
"But my lord! I can't leave you here!" Said Kenji
"I know you can't so I'm ordering you to leave and to ensure the safety of our species."
Kenji doesn't answer but he kneels before Lord Akio. His silence is stronger than his action. Lord Akio gets on one knee placing his hand on his shoulder. Lord Akio hands a scroll and helping Kenji stand up.
"I vow to return my Lord and when I do the land shall be safe once again." Said Kenji
"I know and for making the land safe I shall fulfil any wish that I can within my power." Said Akio
Kenji wants to respond but his swallows his pride and disembarks with the three.
The next day
"Hey kenji, is Lord Akio a woman and do you like her." Said Ren
Nabe hit Ren across the head for his rude behavior. Ren starts pulling her ears in retaliation. Momon get annoyed at the two and whacks them on the head.
"Enough! I shall inform the Emperor of this behavior! We are representatives for the Empire so act that way!"
"Sorry Momon." Said Ren and Nabe
"Excuse me Sir Momon, how are strong you?" Said Kenji
"Very strong and very faster." Said Momon
"That doesn't answer my question Sir Momon." Said Kenji
"Don't worry about it Kenji. We don't know how to measure our strengths in this land since we haven't fought anything strong." Said Ren
"Well how strong your Emperor?" Said Kenji
"I don't know, he killed dragons and destroy cities in one attack so we don't know how strong he is, but his guardians are almost as strong as him." Said Momon
"Guardians?" Said Kenji
"Think of them like yourself. They are his personal guards and are nearly as strong as him." Said Nabe
"Even Emperor Ainz head butler could defeat me in a fight, but just barely." Said Momon
"The head butler can defeat Sir Momon!" Said Kenji
"Just barely thou." Said Momon
"Well how about your arts what so different about them?" Said Kenji
Ren pulls out a book and gives it to Kenji.
"Shut up! I'm trying tired of hearing questions! Here takes this book!" Said Ren
"What's is this book?" Said Kenji
"It a history book that will answer everything. It one that we give to the kids at school." Said Nabe
"When you're done reading you can join a supreme church of your liking." Said Momon
"Supreme church?" Said Kenji
"Quit asking about stuff or it'll be on-stop questions!" Said Ren
"Just scout ahead Ren if you're getting annoyed!" Said Nabe
"Ok I'll do that!" Said Ren
Ren and Silver run ahead to scout.
"He still might be messed about yesterday killings." Said Momon
"Anyway, Kenji there are 41 religions in the Empire. One for each supreme being." Said Nabe
"That many!?" Said Kenji
"Yes, even one for Emperor Ainz." Said Nabe
"You considered your Emperor a god?" Said Kenji
"He isn't a god he a supreme being. He above a god." Said Momon
"What churches do you three belong too?" Said Kenji
"I'm in the church of Emperor Ainz, Momon in the church of Touch me, and Ren in the church of Tigris Euphrates." Said Nabe
"You know now that I think about it isn't Lord Takemikazuchi armor like the people here." Said Momon
"That right and the swordsman brain weapon as well." Said Nabe
"When we arrive at town we should contact Emperor Ainz to confirm this." Said Momon
Ren and Silver pick up their pace and run over a hill to see another village. Ren pulls out a telescope to see the village is completely abandon. Ren singles for the others to catch up.
"What happened Ren?" Said Momon
"Seem like an abandoned town." Said Ren
"Alright you know your roles and Kenji follow me." Said Momon
Ren and Silver begin circling the village, Nabe begins to fly above the village while Momon and Kenji enter the village. The village is dead silent even the birds avoid this place. The village is the very definition of a ghost town. Momon and Kenji search every house.
"Who leads this village Kenji?" Said Momon
"No one, a lot of lords died during the battle so a lot of townspeople left for bigger cities since resources and manpower are scarce out here." Said Kenji
"What about normal people?" Said Momon
"Don't think so since Lord AoI probably came through here." Said Kenji
"Seeing these types of places reminds of the war years." Said Momon
"War years?" Said Kenji
"7 years of conflict on our continent due to a single nation but they have been dealt with." Said Momon
"Were you a soldier?" Said Kenji
"I was a small boy during those times but those years ended and I trained to become the next Momon and I became the third." Said Momon
Nabe lands in front of them and Ren enter the city behind them.
"the city empty of life." Said Nabe
"Nothing around us." Said Ren
"Shall we continue forward than." Said Momon
The four leave the village hoping the next will be better. The group continue their travels for the rest of their day and pass through four more empty villages till the night. The group decides to camp so Nabe pulls out a small box throwing it on an open space making a cabin. Kenji shocked seeing such a magic item and his youthful mind begins to fill with questions.
"Excuse sir Momon and lady Nabe I still have many questions about your empire." Said Kenji
"Read the book Ren gave you." Said Momon
"Well I can't read your language even though you can speak our language." Said Kenji
"Oh, that right he hasn't been given the knowledge potion." Said Nabe
"What's that?" Said Kenji
"We give it to kids to allow their knowledge to grow at a much quicker rate and allows people to understand different languages." Said Nabe
"Oh, that why you three can speak out language so well." Said Kenji
"When we contact Emperor Ainz I'll ask for some potions." Said Momon
"Any more questions?" Said Ren
"How strong are you Sir Momon?" Said Kenji
"Well I'm the weakest in terms of strength but I'm the fastest and best skillful in swordplay." Said Momon
"Can you better describe it?" Said Kenji
"Do the tree test Momon?" Said Ren
Momon stands up and walks towards the tree line he pulls out a sword and swing it like a baseball bat. The first tree gets cuts in half and a powerful wind continues to cut the trees behind it and stops at 10 cut trees.
"I beat my record of 9. I must have leveled up." Said Momon
"That's amazing!" Said Kenji
"This is nothing the first Momon was able to cut down 30 trees in his final days. If he was in his prime he could cut 50 trees." Said Momon
"What!? Really!?"
"Of course, they even named a district after him and that where the schools are in the Empire. I even went there myself." Said Momon
"We used to have schools but mostly all the children are in the Military." Said Kenji
"I know the feeling all too well during those war years." Said Momon
" what are war years?" Said Kenji
"The toughest time of the Continent but the raise of the Empire." Said Nabe
"The war year lasted 7 years throughout the continent involving two armies. The Sorcerer Empire against The Slane Unity army." Said Momon
"If your Emperor above a god as you say than how come it took seven years." Said Kenji
"The war was gruesome as the Slane unity Army didn't fight Emperor Ainz directly but instead they went after his citizens in every city, every village, every home was attacked throughout the continent." Said Momon
"It sounds as if the forgotten attacked you." Said Kenji
"It was a bad time to live through." Said Momon
"Did you fight?" Said Kenji
"No I was barely 6 in the final year of the war, but these fought in the war." Said Momon
"How old are you two?" Said Kenji
"I'm 65." said Ren
"A lady doesn't disclose her age." Said Nabe
"She over a hundred." Said Ren
Nabe begins charging her magic and Ren pulls out his Lance. Momon hits them both on the head to stop.
"How did the war end?" Said Kenji
"The unity army lured Emperor Ainz away from Momon city rather E-Rantel at the time and started to attack the city. The city was mostly civilians trying to escape the war only guardian Enri and her husband grand alchemist Nefia were defending the city." Said Momon
"Why did they attack a city full of civilians?" Said Kenji
"Like you said it was as fighting the forgotten. They didn't care who they were. They only thing they cared was killing as many civilians as they could." Said Momon
"I was there with Alchemist Nefia healing people and defending a hospital. I tried to save as many as I could but there were so many injured." Said Nabe
"I was there as well helping maintain the battle line as they broke through the gate." Said Ren
"I was a child crying to be saved. I still can see people screaming for their lives." Said Momon
"What happened, why did they lose." Said Kenji
Momon stands and walks away from the camp and stares at the Moonlight.
"What did I do." Said Kenji
"It fine, we'll explain the rest of the story. This subject is quite heartbreaking when it heard by the survivors." Said Nabe
"The line were breaking and they were entering the city and they began to slaughter the civilians. We were going to lose the city but Team darkness wasn't going to let that happened. The first Momon was sick with disease but he and Lady Nabe don their gear to fight." Said Ren
"I remember it to this day. I was defending the hospital against a swan of attackers on my last bit of Mana then Momon runs ahead and kills them. He regroups the battle line and charged towards the enemy." Said Nabe
"I was beside him that was before I became the third member of team darkness and before I meet Silver. We had merely 3,000 troops with another 4,000 civilians charging at the enemy of 100,000 strong but we had team darkness leading us." Said Ren
"I saw Lady Nabe battle performance beside Sir Momon I fell in love with Lady Nabe. Her magic was beyond powerful as she shook the very heavens with her magic." Said Nabe
Ren and Nabe pause for dramatic effect. Kenji leans forward with eyes wide open wondering what going to happen next.
"We fought like wild Animals but we were simply outnumbered. Momon and Nabe stood their ground in the middle of entire enemy army while we retreat. They fought and fought slaying thousands beneath their feet. Team darkness bought enough time for Emperor Ainz to arrive with his army to defeat the Slane unity army." Said Ren
"At a heavy price. The battled won and the Empire future secured, but as Emperor Ainz flew down to thank Momon...Momon passed away from his disease. Momon died standing up with his sword drawn staring at the sunset with his cape fluttering in the wind. I can still hear lady Nabe cries of pain that day. His wife Evileye was heartbroken for several months. She was in another city fighting unable to see her husband final moments." Said Nabe
"The First Momon death brought saved the Empire. The next year the Empire won the war and the Slane unity army imprisoned and a statue placed where Momon died. Names on his back by families of dead defenders. The year after that Climb became the 2nd Momon with First Nabe by his side. Few years after that I joined team darkness and 20 years later the first Nabe retired and this one became the second Nabe." Said Ren
"I understand why Sir Momon upset with me. What can I do to make amends" Said Kenji
"Be his student." Said Ren
"Really?! Will he accept me?" Said Kenji
"Worth a try." Said Nabe
Kenji gets up to ask Momon but Ren has a question.
"Hey, Kenji, so what type of magical device do you have to report to Lady Akio."
Kenji freezes like a deer in headlights.
"Whatever do you mean?" Said Kenji
"Kenji I'm 65 years old and I been through a lot so please hand over the device before I break you." Said Ren
Ken starts sweating bullets and pulls out a blue scroll with an eagle feather.
"Oh ok, here you go." Said Kenji
"How does it work?" Said Nabe
"Just put some Ki into the feather and start writing and it'll transfer the writing to another scroll." Said Kenji
"Oh, how fantastic it like [message] magic but more work." Said Nabe
Nabe begins writing in it to inform Lady Akio of their plot and doesn't mind since the Emperor has become Allied with them and will answer all of Kenji questions. Lady Akio replies with
"oh, well thank you."
Nabe hands it back to Kenji and he walks over to Momon. He bows towards Momon
"Um Sir Momon, I want to say I'm Sorry for bringing up such a topic, and I want to apologize for my unnecessary questions." Said Kenji
Momon places his hand on Kenji shoulder making him stand up.
"It fine, I don't blame you for the events of the past it just as the third Momon I have a lot to live up for so it just a reminder of the shadow I'm in." Said Momon
(Momon such a nice person)
"Sir Momon I have a request." Said Kenji
"What is it?" Said Momon
"Can I be your student?" Said Kenji
Momon grabs him by the collar lifting him off the ground and brought him to eye level.
"You know the importance of me having a student, right." Said Momon
"I do not Sir Momon." Said Kenji
"It means that'll I'll be retiring and picked you as my successor." Said Momon
"I didn't...mean to...offend you, but I need power to defend Lady Akio!" Said Kenji
Momon let go and drops him onto the ground. Kenji begins to breath normally again. Momon picks up Kenji standing him on both his feet and pulls out one of his swords and hands it to Kenji not letting go of the handle.
"Alright Kenji, I'll teach but you're not my successor, do you understand. My position as Momon is comparable to Emperor Ainz. The first Momon won the people's hearts so it my duty to continue his legacy and protect the people."
"Yes, Sir Momon! I thank you for the opportunity!" Said Kenji
"Good so I'll test your basic strength and speed and judge your level of power so try to lift my sword." Said Momon
Momon lets go of his sword and Kenji at once falls onto his knees due to the enormous weight of the sword.
"Kenji stand up and lift the sword above your head." Said Momon
Kenji tries standing up but the weight of the sword keeps him on his knees. Momon picks up the sword saving Kenji.
"Well you failed the strength test quite badly." Said Momon
"I can believe that your sword weighs that much! You make it seem so easy." Said Kenji
"My armor weighs more than my swords." Said Momon
"How can you even move?!" Said Kenji
"A lot of training even teenagers can lift my sword to their chest." Said Momon
"I weaker than a teenager. My pride has been hurt quite badly hearing those words, sir Momon." Said Kenji
"Don't worry about it since we train the kids at a young age with various magic items to develop their muscles." Said Momon
You said you're the weakest Momon so far but I can't image how strong the first one was." Said Kenji
"The first Momon could defeat the Emperor but that never happened since they became friends, anyway now for the speed test." Said Momon
Momon pulls out a gold coin and puts it in his hand.
"The speed test is where you place the coin on the palm of your hand beside your waist and drop it. While it is falling, you must draw your sword and cut the coin before it hits the ground. I'll shall show you."
Momon flips his hand dropping the coin and pulls out his sword cutting the coin three times before it touches the ground. Kenji inspects the coin seeing it cut into three rectangles.
(Impossible! I only saw one swing.)
"Your turn Kenji." Said Momon
Momon places a coin in Kenji hand. Kenji ready himself, he drops the coin and by the time he grabs his sword the coin already hit the ground.
"Slow and weak Kenji, but if you're willing to learn I'll shall teach you." Said Momon
Kenji kneels before Momon
"I'll do anything to become strong!"
"You might die but are you still willing." Said Momon
"Yes! To my final breath!" Said Kenji
"Hahahahaha, I'm can feel your resolve Kenji so starting tomorrow you are my student." Said Momon
"Thank you... Master!" Said Kenji
Ren and Nabe pov
"While Momon does, his tests should we contact Emperor Ainz." Said Ren
"We should." Said Nabe
Nabe pulls out the cauldron and contacts Emperor Ainz. A few moments later Emperor Ainz appears from the cauldron.
"Yes, team Darkness, do you have more information for me." Said Ainz
"We have learned about the other living races that inhabit this continent." Said Nabe
"There are other races beside humans." Said Ainz
"Yes Emperor, they are also being affected by the forgotten." Said Ren
"Tell me in further detail." Said Ainz
"Yes Emperor, the Elves betrayed the two kingdoms during the battle of red and joined forces with the forgotten." Said Nabe
"Umm that is interesting, it seems like the forgotten aren't just mindless creatures." Said Ainz
(Someone might be controlling them.)
"The dwarves have to been killed off but there might be a small group still alive in some tunnels." Said Ren
"I'll ask for some dwarven members of government that could aid in their reconstruction of their kingdom." Said Ainz
"The beast men rather beast people have close themselves off from the other nations and are on a defensive battle against the forgotten." Said Nabe
"Were they involved in the war?" Said Ainz
"No Emperor." Said Ren
"I'll leave them be for now till I have more information." Said Ainz
"The demons seem very civilized but are currently having infighting between two factions. The dragon faction lead by the last dragon wishes for death on everyone while the serpent faction wants peace with the races." Said Nabe
"I see, I'll ask for some demons to join the expedition as well." Said Ainz
"Those are all the races we have to report Emperor." Said Ren
"What about non-living races or monster races." Said Ainz
"They didn't tell us anything about those races and we forgot to ask. I assume they wouldn't care about the undead or monster races so please forgive us Emperor Ainz." Said Nabe
"It fine but if you do find out please inform me." Said Ainz
"Yes, Emperor Ainz!" Said Nabe
"Anything else to report?" Said Ainz
"No Emperor Ainz." Said Ren
"Ok, I few days I shall send the adventures ahead of the expedition force. They shall arrive in one month time." Said Ainz
"Yes Emperor. The adventures shall be great help." Said Nabe
"Good work so far, contact me when you have discovered more information." Said Ainz
"Yes Emperor." Said Nabe
Ainz disappears back into the cauldron. Momon and Kenji return to the camp.
"So how was the tests?" Said Ren
"He failed them all but I agreed to teach him." Said Momon
"Where is he?" Said Ren
"I told him to cut a tree with his sword to build some of his strength." Said Momon
"We'll all this talking of training making me sleepy so let's get sleep and hope the next town has some people in it." Said Nabe
"But we don't have to sleep since we have the magic item." Said Momon
"Momon take it off and go to sleep these beds are really comfortable." Said Nabe
"Agreed." Said Ren
"Oh, ok expect you Kenji, keep cutting that tree then you can rest." Said Momon
"Yes Master!" Said Kenji
Next morning in the Empire, in the Elven kingdom. A small Elf girl kicks open a door from inside a tree. Two dark Elven females in black and white maid outfits follow the young girl.
"Your highness please reconsider and stay in the kingdom." Said Eisd
"No Emperor Ainz has order us to meet him in Narazick so Stop telling me to reconsider!" Said Aura
"But please, understand your highness. Until matters are completely you cannot leave. Please Queen Aura, please reconsider." Said Revel
"No I made my mind up and Mare! Hurry up!" Said Aura
"But sister, I don't want to go… I'll get seasick." Said Mare
"Can't king Mare stay to help with affairs." Said Eisd.
"Ehhh I'll have to do all the work." Said Mare
"Yes, your majesty but I'll make your favorite meals." Said Ravle
"Really!" Said Mare
"No, Mare we are leaving!" Said Aura
"aw." Said Mare
Mare begins to walk with his head down. The two elf maids grab their feet and continue to beg for them to stay. Aura whistles and two of her pets appear in front of them.
"Please Queen Aura and King Mare please take us since we don't want to leave your side. You're the only royal family in the Elven kingdom so we want to ensure your safety." Said Esid
"Ugh fine." Said Aura
The two maids hop on Aura pet wolf and they head towards Narazick.
In the Forest of tob
A large blue bug stands before an army of Lizardmen and other demi human races.
"Warriors. of. Narazick. we. have. a. mission. but. this. is. a. volunteer. operation. so. those. who. wish. to. take part. step. forward." Said Coctuys
The army of demi humans take two steps forwards.
"Excellent. my. Warriors. Train. And. prepare. we. shall. leave. in. 13. days."
"Yes, Lord Coctuys!"
The army splits up and begin preparing for their operation.
[message]
(Emperor Ainz My goblin army have volunteered for the operation. How shall we train to fight our new enemy.)
(The forgotten needs a living host so distance attacks and quick group attacks should be best till I have new information.)
(Yes Emperor also can you send some guards to ensure my husband and little sister don't go. I almost lost them both during the war so I worry for their safety.)
(I understand, I'll send some death knights to watch them.)
(thank you Emperor Ainz and I'll see you in 13 days.)
[message ends]
Prison city
A young vampire walks out onto a balcony overlooking the city. She raises her arms up and inhales savoring the smell. She looks over her city of death and despair.
"I going to miss this place, but I get to reunite with my beloved Ainz, and Save him from Albedo!" Said Shalltear
She picks up a microphone with a piece of paper that says morning announcement.
"Good morning Slane prisoners, traitors, and war criminals. I have good and bad news for you all. The bad news, I the lovely Shalltear bloodfallen shall be leaving you for some time but your torture shall continue as planned. Good news, miss Lisa von Baratheon has had her 35th child yesterday so a round of applause for her. Emperor Ainz has seen it fit that Miss Lisa be pardon of her crimes so next week she'll live in a small estate where she shall live and will still be giving birth to replace the lives during the 7-year conflict. Ladies keep making child if you want to be freed." Said Shalltear
Two vampire brides enter Shalltear room
"Lady Shalltear, everything is prepared for your departure and Lord Kyouhukou is here as well."
"Ah excellent, bring him here I wish for the prisoners to meet their new warden while I'm away." Said Shalltear
"Yes, Lady Shalltear."
A vampire bride leaves the room and comes back with Kyouhukou.
"Good morning Lady Shalltear, how have you been?" Said Kyouhukou
"In doing just fine but I'm going to miss this place and my prisoner screams." Said Shalltear
"Don't worry about it, I shall record their terror when you return." Said Kyouhukou
"Thank you Kyouhukou and here the magic item that allows your voice to be heard throughout the city, I shall leave it in your care." Said Shalltear
Shalltear hands over the microphone to Kyouhukou whom bows to Shalltear as she leaves the room. Kyouhukou walks to the balcony and speaks.
"Greetings everyone, I'm your new warden while Lady Shalltear is away. I'm Lord Kyouhukou and you'll be in my care. I also have a special announcement... it is feeding time!" Said Kyouhukou
Hordes of cockroaches flood out of the tower running into the streets. Screams flow throughout the city with the pitter patter of feet from the cockroaches.
"Ladies do not worry my children will only take only a single bite and if you're pregnant they'll leave you alone but men beware they'll eat a limb off, but don't worried you'll be healed in 10 minutes so don't die." Said Kyouhukou
Shalltear enter a carriage and heads towards Narazick but she leaves Slowly enjoying the screams one last time.
"I'm going to miss this place." Said Shalltear
Narazick college
All walks of life attend the Narazick school as a decree by Emperor Ainz after the war. Momon city was the first to improved. Emperor Ainz wanted all children to come here for their educational training to allow other parts of the Empire to focus without worrying about the children. Narazick College teach all levels of education from kindergarten to college.
Narazick college has three core majors: warrior training, mage training, and marriage training (Albedo idea). The school led by headmaster Eugimed, he a tall muscular man with short brown hair and an orange suit with stripes. The teachers are the battle maids of Narazick with the former adventures of day old teaching the newer generations. Cz delta is the school favorite teacher, occasionally students will go uwah when surprised. Yuri Alpha is head teacher underneath the headmaster and enjoys her new position.
Narazick college auditorium
The auditorium has 3,000 college students wondering what going to happen. The students gossip about what going to happen. The headmaster walks onto the stage.
"Everyone be quiet." Said Headmaster
The students became quiet.
"I know you all heard Emperor Ainz announcement yesterday, but students aren't allowed to join the expedition." Said Headmaster
The students begin chatting to one another and you could hear their grievances against it.
"Settle down, I know you want to join but you're not allowed to go not matter how good you think you are." Said Headmaster
A student raises his hand
"Yes student, what is it."
The student stands addressing the headmaster
"Well headmaster it'll be a great opportunity to expand our learning environment."
The headmaster anger appears.
[sit down] the student sit down by force hearing the headmaster words.
"Listen this isn't a Field trip to the beach but a continent where people are being killed and having to kill their friends to survive. I have spoken with Emperor Ainz and student aren't allowed to join the expedition." Said Headmaster
The students stand in an uproar in protest.
[be quiet] the student at once shut up.
"Emperor Ainz has allowed a small group of 30 students to join, but only the seniors can participate and they seniors must pass the darkness test to join." Said Headmaster
The students start chatting again.
"We start testing in two days' so seniors be ready." The headmaster leaves the stage.
[Message]
(Emperor Ainz, I have told the students and the test shall begin in two days)
(Good headmaster Demigue, I'll excited to see who will pass.)
(Yes, Emperor all is according to your will.)
Throne room
Albedo hearing the statements of team darkness has begun moving resources and ships to the coastline for the expedition. She sits on the throne as she has earned the special permission by Ainz to do so. The Empire might has begun to move.
Albedo is ordering non-combat maids to relay messages to the different leaders across the empire.
"Lady Albedo, King Climb has begun sending volunteers to supreme city and so has Queen Draudillon." Said Sixth the maid
"Good what about the ship for the adventures, how is the progress." Said Albedo
"The ship is in its finally stage and will be done by tomorrow." Said Lumia
"Good and how long will it take to arrive to the continent?" Said Albedo
"The librarian said 3 weeks if they avoid storms and don't get lost." Said Fumie
"How about Emperor Ainz Ship?" Said Albedo
"The N.E.S Supreme is currently being loaded with troops and supplies." Said Sixth
"Good and how about the undead dragons?" Said Albedo
"They are currently being enchanted and so are the crates so any weather phenomenon will cause no problems." Said Lumia
"Excellent, I need you Sixth to relay a message to the dwarf kingdom to send anyone in government position." Said Albedo
"Yes, Lady Albedo!" Said Sixth
"Lady Albedo, Lord Coctuys army has begun moving to the coastline." Said Lumia
"Good, how many volunteers are their so far?" Said Albedo
"5,000 lady, Albedo and climbing." Said Fumie
[gate]
Emperor Ainz walks through a portal seeing Albedo giving orders to maids and minios alike. He hasn't seen this sight in such a long time, it makes him give a chuckle seeing such a nostalgic sight. Albedo heard Ainz laugh and stops working. Albedo runs over and jumps onto Ainz knocking him down.
"Hello my love! How are you?" Said Albedo
"Hello Albedo, I'm excellent but how are you with all this work." Said Ainz
"Never better it been a while that I work as overseer, and I missed it." Said Albedo
"Good to know but can you stand up. We have more work to do." Said Ainz
Albedo stands up and helps Ainz to his feet. Ainz sits on his Throne with Albedo by his side.
"The Empire Expedition force leaves in 13 days! I want everyone taking part of this to be ready before we leave!" Said Ainz
"Yes Emperor!"
(I wonder what this East continent has in store for us.)
