Legal: I don't own overlord


Waiting for messenger

The sun was setting over the horizon behind the mountains and the buzzing activity in the village was increasing as compared to the noon. The Bard and the tax collector had already left the village.

Generally, Centaurs' are more active during night and rested at daytime. They maintained their defenses all the time as they were in the open fields and were well aware of the dragons living in the distant mountains of the north. If attacked they simply ran towards the forest in the south adjoining the Southern strip of the mountains where other centaurs (of same tribe) lived in caves. Despite better-defended caves were not able to hold their population hence they had to live in open lands. They are shy in nature and resisted opening up even to other centaurs, not of their own tribe.

Kits joined these centaurs 1 year ago and looking at his magic skills the village chief offered him a position of a teacher. In the beginning, he had only seven students but when two of them were able to cast lvl 1 tier spells more started to turn up to learn from him. Obviously he had to lend the two few items for faster training but the two had potential in them. This also helped him refine his own skills in this new world mixing skills and combos along with the items that he possessed.

As kits arrived with the kid a small hint of satisfaction appeared in his face. Around 80 centaurs were waiting for today's class. They gave him a respectable bow and he bowed them in return. His small class has also attracted students from the centaurs of the cave. They were of all ages young and few were even old. Even established warriors in centaur tribe looked at his training with curiosity. Earlier, he had a small spar with the warrior trainer showing him the benefits of magic.

One of his student Lia-san, who was not good as a warrior had a talent in magic and after loaning her with the magic item, she was now able to cast 3-tier spell. Four were now at Lvl 2 and ten were at lvl 1. Others who were neither magic casters nor warriors were still useful to maintain his image and value in the village. Obviously, warrior training had preference as compared to magic by centaurs.

"Lia-san are you ready to lean a new spell today?"

"huh" Lia san said with a surprise in her face.

"Good we will be trying [Fly] spell today as I have already taught you [fireball] you will be just needing practice "

"What [Fly]? But sir even my fireball is no good"

"Yes, as of now it's not good enough but with time and practice it will be. Now I will show you [Fly spell]"

[Fly]

Saying that kits elevated in front of his students and everyone in the village was looking towards him. He hovered on top of the village showing his skills and demonstrated its uses. After a show, he descended in front of Lia and asked her to try.

"Try concentrating magic at your feet and then cast this spell"

[Fly] nothing happened

This was actually a wrong method as centaurs had 4 feet and concentrating was much difficult.

"hmm, try concentrating more and when you feel that it can lift you up then think of moving upwards. Ahh, yes don't go too high"

After casting [Fly ] few time she started getting hold of it.

"Ok rest for a bit and guide others with their spells"

The centaurs who had learned lvl 2 spells were practicing and training others who were new or did not had any skills.

Looking at the scene in front of him, he realised that it will be easier for centaurs to concentrate below their stomach to lift them up rather than their feet. After giving instructions to others and exhausting himself for one hour, he returned to Lia who was helping another one with lvl 1 spell.

"So did you feel anything while casting your new spell?"

"Ahh yes teacher but it's very difficult to concentrate"

"Good, I know, try casting it below your stomach tomorrow," he said with a smile

She could not understand but gave a bow.

"Master what are the other spells that I can learn?"

"Well if you are able to learn [fly] I will give you a list of many other spells which you can try later."

Saying that he informed others to take rest and practice with the new spells he had taught them today. Thus ending his task.

After that, he went out with his centaur friend (Lia's dad) for his daily rounds around the village.

"Do you really think that she can fly?"

"Well she has potential but I am afraid if she goes too high in excitement and end up exhausting all her mana. You too keep an eye on her. She is intelligent, shows interest in magic but is still young after all"

"Damn, yeah I did stupid things when I was young"

After a small laugh, they went around the village and came back.

After saying good bye to his first friend in the village kits stood there standing looking at the bustling activity in the village. It was because of his friendship Lia's dad was fine with sending his kid to learn magic. Her mother wanted to make her a warrior like herself.

"I am getting attached to this world after all, NO my wife and kid are in another world or perhaps in another dimension. I have to find a way to get back" kits thought shaking his head.


The fourth day also went by without any incident. Well centaurs were a strong breed as a warrior with high agility, weapon skills adding with their advanced martial arts, they were good opponents and can easily challenge War-trolls. At least on the vast plains they had no competitors except dragons who came by the north. They had a peace treaty with the Dragon councilors' of the Republic in the south. Kits never had to worry about these things as the chief of the caves handled it; his life until now was almost peaceful.

Then that bard came and his peaceful life turned upside down.

Kits was growing impatient as the messenger pigeon had not arrived. He was lying on soft grass inside his house and was deep in thought.

"Damn that bard's messenger didn't come; no it's still only forth day. He said it would arrive in 4-5 days. What should I do? That Ainz owl Gown fellow is getting on my nerves. Well l should wait until tomorrow.

Ahhh, Lia was finally able to elevate today. Her fireball is also getting better. She simply needs more practice, No lot of practice maybe in a year or two she might be able to fly properly. I liked the looks on faces of others in village when they saw Lia elevate with her own magic (Kits was smiling). She is actually inspiring figure for all others. I don't know how's my kid doing, it's been around one year since I am here.

Am I dead in my original world or in coma?I think this world is too real to be in a coma. Anyways, I don't have experience of being in a coma. Did I die in that world and then reincarnated as an undead into my Yggdrasil from? No it has to do something with Yggdrasil.

I know that that dragon counselor might also be a Player. From those stories, he can be at least lvl 80 dragon. However, he is here for past so many years. Did we drop here in different time-space? I tried contacting him but those people in Republic simply said that he don't like meeting anyone. Seems like he is trying to keep himself aloof from this world. Should I infiltrate to his resting place. No its better to not disturb him and make enemies out of him. He might also possess World items. So it could be dangerous. That Ainz fellow has the highest probability of having world-class items, he might have items even stronger than mine [ring of time and dimension], its better to not take any risks. If I decide to meet him I will use my summon to meet him and share my senses with it. OK I have to wait for tomorrow now."

Thinking that kits started arranging items in his pocket dimension looking at his world class item [ring of time and dimension]. After all, he had to do countless experiments even with his own items to try to get back, but they all resulted in failure.

After some time he saw some books lying in his dimension store. The (Dimension store is different than Dimension space. Mercenaries had store and guild members had guild space to store their extra stuff. Difference between them is that guild space can be lost with items if guild falls. But mercenary store can only be bought with real world currency and was connected with pocket dimension. GM's updated this after receiving many complaints from mercenaries as they were the ones who were easily Pked, compared to guild members. Kitsuma now owns 3 of those as 2 of his friends handed him with the keys of their store before leaving game. He sold some of those useless items and bought even better items later in game. After all, when game was getting older few people were logging in and the prices of good stuff came down because of lack of demand.)

"I wonder when I got these. Oh yes, I bought it because they were cheap. Anyways I am already lvl 100 so I can't learn these skills."

He tried learning new skills in past one year from different books in his possession but all those experiments failed too.

However, few experiments of trying out combo attacks and attack timing were successful.

His main character was a rogue class and he performed his role well. His group was the one, which was good in avoiding getting Pked. His group was also quite good in clearing dungeons/ PVE battles. They were well known group for that.

Thinking about his past in game experience, he smiled and the fun moments he had with his group of mercenaries and the stupid things they did.

He looked out of the window and it was already morning.


Fifth day: He walked out of his house stretching his arms.

Apart from taking classes he actually had nothing else to do in the village. Sometimes he went out on patrols around village and forest with his new found friends or simply watched kids run around. The lie of not remembering his past helped him a lot mixing with these people.

He walked around aimlessly looking towards the sky. Its was a clear sky with few clouds. But no sign of messenger pigeon.

Passing a row of houses he saw people training since night time till early morning. Most of them will be resting during day time. Some of his own students were also there.

Nothing else to do, he simply stood there watching them train themselves. He was already familiar with their moves and even formulated many plans in his mind to counter them even without using his skills etc. of Lvl 100 player. He stayed there for quite some time.

A centaur (Chief's aid)approached him and informed him that a messenger pigeon has arrived at Chief's residence marked with his name.

Hearing the chief's message, Kitsume headed towards Chief's residence.
