Yo

Sry for the long wait

I was taking a short break

Tests are stressful

This chapter should show you just how op my OC is

Pervysagechuck, there will be a flashback on the Reaper's perspective when he killed Clementine somewhere in the next few chapters

Mallador thought

"Not bad way to end the game. Not bad at all."

Then a glowing silver arrow came at him, shot with the ranger ability, [Silver Striker]. It shot an anti ethereal silver arrow at the enemy. The ability was designed to be used against physical damage resistant opponents such as the reaper.

Mallador suddenly turned into a thick, dark mist the size of his own body, avoiding the arrow and appearing behind the ranger. The ability was called [Wraith Form] It let players turn into mist to evade attacks. Of course, people who attack the mist using magic or other anti ethereal attacks could still hit the user. Therefore, it took great reaction speed and a good character build to properly utilise it. It also had a certain time consuming period where it charged up for 2 seconds and left the user vulnerable.

Mallador had both. His character was a gunslinger. The class had several ways to make the user's abilities faster and lessen the cooldown time and reduces time needed to charge up the abilities. One of them was [Quickdraw] The passive lowered every ability's charging time and cooldown by a whole 3 seconds. This ability was only given to level 90 gunslingers.

In real life, Mallador was an ex veteran soldier. This meant his reaction speed was the best of the best.

The high shadow wraith had a lot of race based abilities. Mallador combined wraith and gunslinger abilities to create an almost broken character. He also had abilities from sub classes as well.

The ranger turned around only to get blasted by a shotgun right in the head, halving her health. The ranger and the rest of her team were all wood elves. They were part of the guild Seraphim.

Seraphim was supposedly the most powerful guild. They were idolised by the Yggdrasil community, every player sought to join their ranks. They were the most powerful after all.

This was not true. Seraphim was above Ainz Ooal Gown on the Yggdrasil leaderboard, however, this was because they had over 200 members, also with the second third and fourth best players in Yggdrasil among them.

But if Ainz Ooal Gown fought with them, the earlier would be the overwhelming victor. The Guild leaderboard was actually programed to rank players by how much gold they had stored up in their guild treasury. Since Seraphim had 200 members and they did endless farming, they were able to beat Ainz Ooal Gown, the second best guild in the game by 10,000 gold. (This was not a lot in the Yggdrasil)

The team fighting Mallador was lead by Rar'khan Bethir, the second best player in Yggdrasil. He was a swordsman and gunman who specialised on 1 on 1 duels. He would use his sword and revolver together to greatly damage his opponent's health.

The ranger was dressed in all green with a hood on her head. (She looks Alleria windrunner from Wow) (Sry, I give up with the description) The elf looked quite stunned as the next shot from the Reaper's next shotgun killed her avatar.

The team of elves backed off and looked upon the form of the reaper, who was standing quite straight with a mask on his face, blocking any expressions from showing, not that they could because in game characters did not have faces that moved.

They knew better than to resurrect their fallen teammate. They would be killed if they tried.

The reaper was dressed in black except for his white futuristic mask. (Reaper with default skin) The elves knew that they were going to die. The best player in Yggdrasill stood before them. However, they would not go down without a fight.

Mallador thought back to what had happened.

Flashback

As he logged in, he appeared in the dark throne room of Shadowcrown citadel. This place was modeled after Icecrown citadel in one of the ancient warcraft games. Mallador had a love for those antiques. The lore was just… ensnaring. He modeled all of his structures in the shadow realm after structures in Wow.

Shadowcrown Citadel resided in the Shadow dimension but could be brought into the physical dimension if Mallador wished it. This was one of the advantages of being a lord Shadow Wraith. Mallador could open portals to the Shadow dimension and even let his structures materialise in the physical realm anywhere. Not in dungeons and guild bases of course.

This was not too overpowered in Yggdrasil because players could teleport to their guild halls at will. The portal was more of a nuisance than anything else in the game.

His throne room was grand. Two football fields full of room, tall ceiling that reached into the sky, everything a throne room should be. The floor had the faces of tortured souls carved into it. The walls were made of pure, smooth black walls. The ceiling had majestic black chandeliers formed up in rows, each lit by a purple fire.

The throne was mostly made using a higher tiered version of the material used to make the walls, which made it look darker and smoother. Two purple gems were imbued to the armrests of thee throne, making them comfortable for hands to rest upon. There was also a large one in the back. (More grand version of the one in ch 3)

Mallador, like Momonga, had a habit of talking to himself because of his loneliness. This loneliness was amplified by the giant tower he constructed that hosts none other than himself. He had no NPCs and nor did he want to. He had no time to make them. Mallador had to help his guild and check for threats.

Ever since the 1000 player invasion of Nazarick, Mallador has been going around and keeping watch of any players who sought to do something that again. When there was, he exterminated them. The other players heard of this and decided to leave Ainz Ooal Gown alone.

Now, he sat on his throne.

"I should go say goodbye to Momonga-san."

Mallador thought about just teleporting to Ainz Ooal Gown with his guild badge. A guild badge let a player teleport to their guild hall. It could not be used during combat and was distributed to all guild members during the Faraway Land expansion.

The guildies were always complaining to the DEVs to make accessing their guild hall easier. They had to travel via mount which was very time consuming. There was 7 worlds in Yggdrasil, each one of them was very large. If you wanted to get from one side of the map on Midgard to the other, it would take at least 3 hours with the fastest flying mount.

Therefore, guild badges were very helpful to most players.

The Faraway Land Expansion was the third one in the game. It introduced a land not unlike Japan and placed a new continent on Midgard. It introduced the Samurai class, the Ninja class, the oni species, and the Kitsune species, the talismancer class, and the youkai species. The samurai was a new branch of the warrior class while the Ninja class was a branch of the thief class. The Yokai was a branch of the ghost species, the oni class branched off of demon, and the Kitsune was its own species entirely. The talismancer was a variation of the mage class.

Warrior Takemikazuchi had his guildmates to kill him many times so he would be back to the level where he could choose the Samurai Class.

The man was always a fan of the Japanese classics. The expansion was his dream come true.

Mallador decided that he would take his mount to Nazarick, enjoying the scenery in the game one last time before it vanishes for good. The reaper was sad that the members of his guild left. While the spots of his old teammates in his heart could never be filled, his new squad, no, his new family, took up a new spot on his heart entirely.

Now, new holes appeared in his heart.

Mallador and Momonga feverishly held their guild together, hoping that their friends would come back. None did. IRL, Mallador had a pained expression on his face. He remembered all of the memories he had with the guild members of Ainz Ooal Gown.

Touch Me, the leader, the inspiration, the guy who always had your back. Perononchino, the perverted goofball. Bubukuchagama, the sadistic oneesan. Tabula Smaragdina, the moe loving horror nerd. Mallador smiled. He could name their qualities, good and bad, until the cows came home.

However, Mallador did not have that much time. There was 10 minutes left until the game ended. He wanted to talk to Momonga for one last time.

He got out of his structure via teleportation. Mallador had great control over the Shadow Realm and could bend distance by materialising in it, then back in the physical realm. Mallador was the only one given the Lord Shadow Wraith race so he was the only person who could access the shadow realm. The ability was kept top secret and not even his guild members knew about it. They always get annoyed when he suddenly appears behind them then suddenly vanishes like he was never there, almost like Batman.

Once, he scared Momonga so much by appearing behind him, saying hi, that the guildmaster dropped the cup of hot coffee that he was enjoying in real life, spilling it on the his floor. Momonga got pissed at him for that, which was highly unusual due to the guildmaster's shy and forgiving nature.

The Shadow Realm was a carbon copy of the physical realm, except everything had a shade of purple to it, caused by the air of the dimension, according to the lore. Mallador could phase through them without being noticed. He could only be detected with the most powerful detection spells and charms.

Mallador could open portals of all sizes to that place. He could also choose to let the realm's air out or not when making a portal. He could also control the concentration of the air. The shadow realm's air is deadly to any other being in any other realm. Since Mallador is the only Lord Shadow Wraith, he is the only one capable of accessing the realm, making him immune to the its air. There are also no inhabitants in the shadow realm, only a copy of the physical world. Depending on the concentration, the miasma could knock someone unconscious, break their minds, kill them, or melt their very existence. (About why the maids' hearthstones didn't work, being covered by the shadow realm's air counts as being in another dimension.)

Mallador could travel to anywhere on all the words on Yggdrasil with the Shadow Realm. He just had to set waypoints on specific locations on the map. There was an unlimited amount of waypoints he could set and he could also put waypoints on people and teleport next to them. Mallador could instantly teleport to a waypoint in the shadow realm, then go back to the physical realm at that location. He could not teleport within people of course. Being allowed access to the shadow realm made Mallador very overpowered, and it helped his reputation. However, keeping track of the waypoints was hard, he could not name them. He could only see glowing purple dots on the map where his waypoints were.

Mallador opened his map and teleported to the location just outside of Shadowcrown Citadel. He appeared before the front gates of the magnificent structure, each 10 meters wide and 15 meters tall. The doors were black and portrayed the agonized faces of thousands.

Mallador snapped his fingers and materialized in the physical realm, his majestic citadel was nowhere to be seen.

"[Shadow Charger]"

Suddenly, a horse made of pure shadow appeared before the Reaper. The horse was made solely of shadow energy and looked like a concentrated cloud of black mist. It had purple eyes that looked like they were on fire. It could also fly. (no wings though)

Mallador used the mount a lot in the shadow realm, exploring the locations there so he could set waypoints. However, as he explored the entire map in the game, he no longer needed the steed. It seemed fitting that he would use it for one last time.

He got on his shadowy mount. The horse neighed, which was one of its animations. It sounded extremely sinister, almost like an echo of a normal horse's neighing.

Mallador launched into the skies with the mount, going at incredible speed to his guild base, Nazarick.

The graphics of the game were surreal. He could almost feel the breeze on his face. He saw all the dungeons, guild bases, and monsters under him as he flew straight towards Nazarick.

Soon, he flew into the jungle that hid his guild base, he observed the monsters on the ground, appreciating their realistic beauty once more.

When he was directly above the great tomb, Mallador marveled at its beauty. He then reminded himself that this was the first floor, the ugliest of all the levels of Nazarick. The 1st floor resembled a greek or roman temple, a small one at that.

However, if one traveled through its other floors, they would find them overwhelmingly beautiful.

Mallador landed in front the first floor, walking towards it.

He had a smile on his face in real life and he was feeling bittersweet emotions.

"I'm coming, Momonga-san." Mallador said softly.

Suddenly, a voice came from one of the trees behind him. A young man's voice started to speak excitedly.

"Ok, I've got the world item, time to destroy the hated guild!" We will accomplish something no other player has done, successfully raid Nazarick!"

Mallador thought in his head.

"Uh oh"

They probably had a world item that they were going to use against the great tomb. He had to stop them.

The invaders planned to use the world item [Susa Ibhola] (Search it up on google translate, its in zulu). It could erase an entire guild hall even if it was protected by other world items, this made it one of the 20 world items.

Mallador knew that Nazarick was being protected by world items, but everyone knew that. These people would not try doing something if they knew it wasn't going to work.

The Reaper equipped his two shotguns. (hellfire shotguns from overwatch) They were hellfire shotguns, each shot did massive amounts of damage and could harm ethereal beings with 4 shots per clip, a reload speed of 2 seconds, and a firing speed of 0.7 seconds.

Mallador pointed the shotguns towards the direction of the attackers.

The group of invaders moved out of the trees and into sight. Once they saw the reaper they were shocked and filled with fear. They knew that the player before them was the most powerful one in the game and they knew that he would defend his guild to the death.

JohnJohn, the druidic healer of the team said, frightened with a scared expression on his real life face and sweat dripping down his neck,

"Is that who I think it is?"

Mallador then said in his harsh and raspy voice,

"Leave this place or DIE!"

The Yggdasil chat system worked wonders.

The team was made up of elves, their leader being Rar'khan. Mallador recognised the second best player in Yggdrasil. (Touch me isn't in second because he was tied with Mallador) The elf was good, but not good enough.

Rar'Khan inspired his teammates.

"He is but one player! We belong to the best guild in the game! We have the Advantage!"

His teammates accepted the encouragement without question. The game was ending. Nothing mattered now. They just wanted to have some fun before the end. Because of this method of thought, they would take the Reaper on. Something they would have never done normally.

The team stood their ground and prepared to attack.

Mallador said in real life with an amused expression,

"Well well, this fight might actually be fun."

Present Time

The Reaper reloaded his shotguns. The reloading animation would be considered cool by a certain group of people. Mallador threw away his shotguns and pulled out two more from his inventory. The discarded shotguns disappeared with a blue light.

The elves took this chance to attack Mallador.

"[Holy Slash]"

"[Furious Thrust]"

"[Call Greater Thunder]"

Mallador smirked in real life.

"They took the bait."

"[Shadow Step]"

Mallador's body was covered with a miniature black cyclone as he teleported behind the elves. His body was covered by the cyclone again as he appeared, then it vanished. He evaded the spell and the two other attacks. He was a foot behind JohnJohn, the healer.

The teleportation spell let the user evade all attacking spells and attacks during use.

The elves' formation was strategic, their two melee attackers were at the front. A paladin with a tanky build, Giza, defended the healer and mage at the back. JohnJohn and Nebula. A paladin with an offensive build, JoanArc, and Rar'Khan was in the front, as the melee attack force while Nebula dealt more damage and JohnJohn healed the melee attackers.

Mallador knew about this formation. He had seen it many times before. To many, it was extremely effective and some teams actually completely relied on the it and had no adaptability. He had invented ways to counter this formation in his many years of Yggdrasil.

The Reaper was a solo player so he had to fight entire teams or even guilds all alone. This fight was just a walk in the park for him.

Giza stepped in front of Mallador, defending Johnjohn.

"[Holy Fortification]"

The spell reinforced the paladin's defence by 10 percent for a short amount of time.

Mallador smiled. Giza was trying to block any attacks aimed at JohnJohn. However, the paladin did not cast any other spell so he was vulnerable to snare spells.

"[Shade Choke]"

Suddenly, Giza's in game avatar, a bulky blond elf male with a handlebar mustache and sea blue eyes, was lifted up in the air, legs swinging about with his hands on his throat.

Mallador thought with a grin, "This choking animation always impress me. But the expression doesn't show on their faces though." He frowned as he said the last part.

[Shade Choke] was a shadowmancer spell that choked an enemy and held them in place for a short amount of time. It could not be used against bosses and players who had protection against snaring spells like it. Giza made a mistake when he didn't defend against snaring abilities. He left JohnJohn, the healer, wide open.

The shadowmancer class could only be taken by Lord Shadow Wraiths. The class somewhat resembled the esper class (Yes that is a reference) and had several aoe abilities. That is why Mallador chose it. (Gunslingers did not have a lot of aoe abilities)

The lore behind the shadowmancer was that if one was skilled enough in controlling the energies of the shadow realm, they could bend the its power to their command. Basically, the user could manipulate the enemy's shadows. The lore was focused on this aspect.

Apparently a shadow is a representation of the copy of the person or object in the Shadow Realm, so even if a person's shadows appear to be gone, the person has a form in the shadow realm and therefore had a shadow that could be manipulated.

Some of the classes abilities also worked on objects. However, there was few of these abilities that were actually useful.

The shadowmancer class was one of the reasons the Reaper was so overpowered. He paired the class's abilities with his gunslinger abilities to create a devastating combo. The class was specialised in stealing, incapacitating, and knocking back enemies. When someone paired these abilities with the gunslinger's heavy and quick damage, they would get a character who could combat entire teams by themselves.

The class combination was what made Mallador so overpowered. He had a few other classes on his character but they were not as important as the gunslinger and shadowmancer classes.

JohnJohn attempted to stall Mallador for time. Druids did not have a lot of movement in Yggdrasil. This made them vulnerable. JohnJohn knew this, that is why he attempted to sow the reaper down and alert his team. He needed to keep his distance. Shotguns had ridiculously high damage output at close range, so JohnJohn kept away.

"[Summon: Great Vine Protector]"

A giant green giant formed from the ground. First, it looked like a few vines were stitching themselves together, but it soon turned into a humanoid figure. The giant was covered by patches of moss and had dim, red, eyes. It let out a devastating roar and ran towards the Reaper, who was also running forward, not wanting to waste time.

Meanwhile, the three attackers realised the peril their healer was in and rushed to his aid. Mallador saw that he had no time to deal with the giant and teleported behind the healer again, this time, right behind him.

The attackers were almost to the healer when the Reaper appeared right behind him and shot him twice with his shotguns, killing JohnJohn.

The druid turned around just in time to get blasted in the face twice, each shot halving his hp. He yelled in frustration in real life, scaring his neighbors who lived in the apartments next to him, and logged out of the game. He went to bed after. It was late in real time.

Rar'khan cursed. The healer was dead. It would be quite difficult getting his hp back now because he was a warrior and a gunslinger.

Meanwhile, the green giant disintegrated into blue particles because its creator was dead. Giza, who had recovered from the choke spell cast on him, attacked the Reaper with one of his holy spells. Since Mallador was an undead, he was weak against holy spells. Most of them could harm him in his ethereal form too.

Giza ran up to Mallador with a battle cry and attacked. He wielded a two-handed greatsword. It looked plain but had a red gem decorating the hilt. The Tank was a modest man. He didn't want his weapons to look high and mighty.

"[Holy Slash]"

Giza's great sword glowed with a yellow light as he brought down upon Mallador's head. Mallador turned to face him and casted a spell.

"[Shadow Push]"

Giza was pushed back several feet by an unknown force. When the pushing force stopped, he attempted to charge at Mallador again, this time greeted by 4 shots from his shotguns.

Giza finally covered the distance again, ready to use [Holy Slash] again. Just when he was casting the spell however, Mallador used the increased speed of his [Wraith Form] to get behind him and shoot him twice more from behind.

Giza's health bar was in the yellow now, down to 40 percent. Two more shots would kill him. The tank panicked as he started casting protective spells on himself, not realizing that Mallador was reloading.

Two seconds later, Mallador finished reloading and Giza casted a variety of holy and physical protection spells on himself. The other 3 teammates have catched up with him now. The three attackers readied their weapons around Giza, Nebula in the back.

Since the team had no healers, Giza could not recover his hp, making him almost useless at this point. He stayed back and protected Nebula as the other 2 attacked. Nebula began casting spells.

"[Divine Judgement]"

"[Atomic Slash]"

"[Brilliant Radiance]

Joanarc was a paladin with a character focused on offence. He wielded 2 short swords and had low armor. Rar'khan was a warrior and gunslinger whose style focused on melee with his broadsword and only used his revolver for support. His armor was near nonexistent. He was completely focused on offence.

The Reaper took the spell head on. It was able to take off 20 percent of his hp bar. He did not worry however, as that spell did not hurt him too much, and he did not plan to be hit again.

"[Shadow Step]"

Mallador appeared behind the tank and the mage as they expected. The elves wanted to lure him into an ambush when he teleported and did not cast any anti teleportation two elves both attacked the Reaper at the same time. Giza attacked with a ranged holy spell in fear of losing the rest of his hp.

"[Hammer of Judgement]"

"[Sharks Cyclone]"

Mallador used his wraith form to evade the cyclone, phasing through it, only to see a glowing , yellow hammer flying at him. Mallador continued to fly forward in his wraith form, ignoring the hammer, which took off 20 percent of his hp bar.

"[Armor piercing Rounds]"

"[No Reload]"

Armor piercing rounds would let Mallador ignore 50 percent of the enemy's armor and extra armor added by spells. It only enhanced the amount of ammo left in the weapon's clip either. [No Reload] which increased the guns' clip limit to infinity wouldn't work with this spell because the devs thought it would be too overpowered. Instead, the first 4 rounds in each of the guns were enchanted.

Mallador turned back into his physical form right in front of Giza and started shooting him. Due to his already low health, he died with 3 hits from the shotguns.

The two attackers were running back, Rar'khan was shooting at Mallador with his revolver. Mallador switched to his wraith form and the shots passed through him.

The Reaper covered the distance to Nebula and the mage was down in 2 shots. His reaction speed was not good enough to escape his predicament. He too, logged out and went to bed.

Rar'khan was desperate now. His plan would fail miserably and he would always be known as the second best, the guy that was almost there, the pitiful hard worker. He just wanted to achieve one more great feat, a feat that would put even Mallador9000 and Touch Me's to shame. The achievement would be the destruction of Nazarick.

In reality, Rar'khan was a shut in, desperate for attention from his peers. Attention that he never got. He gained some popularity by becoming the second best player in Yggdrasil and people swarmed him for a while, asking for his secrets. He was even accepted by the top guild.

However, that attention lessened over time. Touch Me and Mallador 9000 were the best players in the game and he was just the second best. His friends had enough of Rar'khan's bragging and even distanced themselves from him because of his strange hobbies.

Destroying Nazarick would grant the elf player attention for months to come. He was recording the game as proof. He did not want his plan to be foiled and was ready to do anything to save his plan.

"Cover me! I'll destroy Nazarick, you hold him off!"

JoanArc nodded, acknowledging his leader's command. He stepped back to Rar'khan, guarding him.

Meanwhile, Rar'kahn held up a glowing yellow orb the size of his hand. It reflected a sharp light, enough to temporarily blind a person in real life.

Mallador, seeing the world item, used his Shadowmancer skill to look at the details of the object.

"[Shadow Appraisal]"

The spell used the powers of the shadows to appraise a magic items. It worked on almost every item in the game.

Suddenly, Mallador facepalmed in real life, clenching his teeth, pained at the amount of cringe he just felt.

"Are you kidding me?" Mallador said in real life.

The world item, [Susa Ibhola], was a world item that destroyed an enemy guild hall, at the cost of the user's own guild hall, it could not be used if one wasn't in a guild. However, the description clearly stated that it wouldn't work on a guild base that stored one of the 20 supreme world items.

In other words, the would be raiders were never a threat in the first place. Mallador felt stupid for fighting them. He could have spent the time with Momonga.

Rar'khan had already activated the world item with a smile on his face, only to have that smile disappear as the world item didn't even touch Nazarick. Rar'khan was busy trying to figure out what had just happened and JoanArc was spamming abuse in the team chat.

"WHAT THE F*** WAS THAT?! F**** EXPLAIN RAR'KHAN!"

The elf players knew that the world item did not have a delayed effect, so what had happened? Rar'Khan and JoanArc was contemplating what had happened when they both reached their conclusion at the same time. They both read about the details of the world item, and they suddenly remembered what they had forgot. The plan to destroy Nazarick was hatched the day the game ended, so there was not a lot of time to prepare. The team of elves had forgotten a key part of the item's lore, and that was what messed them up.

JoanArc immediately logged out in a burst of rage, yelling so loud in real life that his sleeping neighbors got up and called the peacekeepers.

Rar'Khan's in game avatar's face leaned downwards and was silent and unmoving. Mallador could only assume that he unplugged his VR headset in a fit of rage and threw it on his floor, rampaging to who knows where in real life.

The elf players had all spent their monthly salaries on their quest to get the world item. It also took month of preparations to finally beat the dungeon that held the item. They could not accept the fact their hard work had been foiled by a simple item's lore description.

Mallador began laughing in real life. He could not believe the stupidity of the elf players. He was also slightly angry that they wasted his time that he could have spent with his guildmate.

"Noobs."

"Anyway, I do have a world item that I keep in my inventory to counter enemy world items. I should use it now, as a last hurrah."

Mallador pulled out a blood red orb the size of his hand out of his inventory, it shone red, like a red light.

The object was the [Orb of Soulsteal] The ball would make a complete copy of another player's' character and gear and allow the user to freely switch to that body whenever they wanted. The user was even able to design the switch animation.

If the body died the user would automatically revert to their original form, losing the character forever.

Mallador used the orb on the elf player and copied his entire character design.

He smirked.

"The guy won't be needing that anytime soon."

Suddenly, a red orb appeared on the right corner of his vision. If it was touched, the user would switch to their other form. Mallador was satisfied.

That is, until he realised that there was 3 seconds left until the server shutdown.

"Oh crap! I need to tell Momonga good bye!"

"[Messag…}"

There was not enough time as the game ends..

Sorry guys about the long wait

But this chapter was pretty long for my standards

There, some of Mallador's abilities and weapons.

The origin of his other form.

Satisfied?
