chapter 4; Shifting Ground
OKAY
I LIED
I'm back for at least this chapter because I re-read my story (how did I miss so many typos?) and I wanted to get momonga to the new world, rather than have my poor boy technically never actually seeing the new world.
So, im back for this chapter, maybe more if I feel the fire and desire, but honestly I probably won't, 1 because I'm lazy, and 2 because writing is hard...anyhow, please enjoy

Speaking: "I, am Ainz Ooal Gown"
Thought: "impressive as always"
Spell craft: "Create: Greater Item"
Silent spell craft: "summon: death knight"
Momonga stared in awe at his creation as he watched Pandora's Actor lift his arm in the signature bad guy salute from world War II. Satoru's jaw dropped in real life, a small gasp escaping his lungs, he laughed to himself, (muted in game).
"no way I made him do this! I completely forgot i programmed that action. God this is so cringe... the uniform is still pretty cool though, props to old me for that at least"
From Pandora's perspective, his creator momonga, walked in, said he was doing a well job, then said nothing and immediately opened his character menu
Momonga cringed as he read over his creations flavor text, a skeletal hand reaching to his face, cupping his pointy jaw. "honestly, I like the German... I just don't like the... negative history. okay it's settled, ill leave him as is, but just omit the actual behavior emulation, he'll still be German ill just make it so appreciates the history rather than enacts it"
as Pandora stood there. he suddenly remembered that the German history was awesome, but something to be enjoyed as a fun character rather then truly be that person, and he lowered his arm into a bend traditional salute, happy that his creator allowed him to play history with him.
Momonga spoke out loud, "Pandora, I have a request of you, thankfully i know you will enjoy it" Momonga reached into a black void and pulled out... literally piles of treasures, dragon horde level numbers, beyond even that, honestly, Pandora was quite sure this was more than what Ainz Ooal Gown currently had in their Treasury... and, was that new world items?
"Sort these to their rightful places, put the notable items above continent class on display in the new room I created past the statue gallery" Ainz began putting the information in manually to make Pandora's Actor actually do as he said like always, but before he could -"what the hell?!" Pandora's Actor began moving on his own, picking up the items and sorting them. "did they update the npc's just to close down the game? no way, I must have put it in already and I'm just tired" momonga thought to himself as he teleported to his bedroom. "I need some sleep..." "oh." "when I wake up, it's the final day"
A dark cloud looked over momonga as he slept in the real world...
Satoru woke up and immediately entered YGGDRASIL. "Eighteen hours remain". When he logged on, he got the notification that his guild had been attacked, the raiders will slain by the skeletons outside, they didn't even make it to the door- "as expected" Momonga said as he dismissed the notification, Satoru tool care to walk every floor today, Albedo in tow, he spoke to every npc about there tasks, congratulated some, comforted others who appeared to have been stuck in one place for sometime, their pathing failing. and of course he praised Albedo for her steadfast service, qnd thank her for accompanying him during his walk though of nazarick, then dismissed her to her regular spot next to his throne in the throne room, momonga sat down in the guild meeting room and reminiced for a bit as he gazed upon the empty chairs that surrounded him, he had invited every currently listed guild member, perhaps some would show up, there was only a few hours left now, but he had heard from herohero, he was sure he would log in.. eventually...
the npc's all around Nazarick were in an array of emotions, the more perceptive could obviously tell something was wrong, something heavily weighing upon lord momonga, but most, felt elated that the supreme being had come and seen them personally, and Albedo was feeling it all.
"Oh lord momonga, your words fill my heart with such fire and passion, yet I can see there is a weight upon your godly shoulders, what could trouble you so?"
a flash of light pulled momonga from his thoughts.
"Herohero! you came!"
"Yeah! I couldn't miss the chance to say goodbye to this place, I can't believe YGGDRASIL closes down in just a few hours"
"believe me, I don't believe it either, I don't really think I can say goodbye to Nazarick"
"Yeah, I have to say, im surprised its still standing"
"huh?"
"No, well, what I mean is, you were the right choice for guild leader, noone would've kept nazarick up and running like you, you really are a great guild master"
"Oh, thank you hero..." Momonga didn't quite have words beyond that, he was thankful, but also somewhat insulted at the same time. it was an odd feeling. Momonga didn't say much about what he'd been up to after that. but him and herohero spoke of all their past adventures and laughed about the good times, and herohero invited momonga to the new game he was playing, until eventually one hour remained.
"Well I've got work in the morning I have got to hit the sack or I'm gonna be a dead beat tomorrow"
"okay! it was great having you :)"
"Yeah, Goodnight momonga"
herohero logged off, a flash of light leaving behind an empty chair
"maybe you could stay just a while longer... until the server shuts down..." momonga said to himself.
Momonga turned around and looked at the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, and grasped it in his boney hand.
"you're coming with me..."
"all the power in the world and we still can stop this..."
momonga stepped outside the guild room and was met with the veiw of Sebas and the battle maids.
"Follow." Momonga said, and so they did.
momonga walked to the throne toom and made the mades stand at attention, before calling all guardians to the throne room.
he stood before them, staff in hand.
Demiurge gazed up at momonga, and although he trusted in the supreme ones power fully, he knew something was wrong, obviously because the last time all the guardians were in the throne room together was an event he only ever recalled happening when all the supreme ones were still here. he waited and hung on lord momongas every word, lined side by side with his fellow guardians. then finally, the supreme being spoke.
"My diligent guardians, protectors of our home, respected by those you govern, cherished in my heart, all of you, one and all. Albedo, Demiurge, Shalltear, Cocytus, Aura and Mare, victim, Sebas, you and all who dwell here in nazarick hold a special place in my heart, I have remained solely because of my care for you, and I promise I will be here to the very end!" silence hung heavily over the guardians, mixed emotions of love and pride filling them to the brim.
"lord momonga, thank you, but why now, what has happened" thought Demiurge
Momonga turned and sat down in his throne, a dark Visage enveloped him. he spoke. "We head into a new journey, an experience we have not had before, prepare yourselves, tell those you care for what they mean to you, use your remaining free time to continue your dilligent work, for I tell you this now... Our time in YGGDRASIL comes to an end. return to your duties"
"what?!" Demiurge thought to himself, a thought he shared with the other guardians. He took a moment to collect himself and return to his post "I trust lord momonga's word with my life, I wonder what this could mean, it does however explain his recent excursions..." the frog demon contemplated as he walked to his floor.
Momonga watched the clock rapidly count down, mere minutes remained. he spend his time telling Albedo all about the things he loved about YGGDRASIL and why he would miss it, eventually taking a peek at albedos flavor text one last time just for fun.
"awe she still loves me after all this time, not like that would change, honestly... although he put it in as a joke it is comforting to see that right now" he closed the menu, an invisible smile tugging on his face, ethereal tears pooling under his eye...

"What?"
"OH LORD MOMONGA, I AM BEYOND WORDS, IM SO HAPPY YOU LOVE ME! TAKE ME, TAKE ME HERE, WHEREVER YOUD LIKE IM COMPLETELY YOURS"
"WHAAAAAAT?!"
Momonga's jaw unlatched as he gasped out air from lungs he no longer possessed.
OH YEAH BABY, IM LIKING THAT, WOOHOO OUR BOY IS IN THE NEW WORLD! HOWS THIS GONNA CHAMGE EVERYTHING?????
I have a couple ideas.
I'll try and keep the fire burning to get a little into the new story, I figured the end would play out mostly the same, but ainz is just cliser to the npcs in my fic i think, well, more emotionally dependent on them.
to all those who do, thanks for coming back, I hope you enjoyed, I'm still doing this on my phone, so sorry for any cruch that happens or whatever. See you soon-ish?
