This is a side-story, meaning this won't receive the full attention and care that I do with my main stories, it will be slowly updated, as this is just simply to write something while I think about what to write in the main story 'Re:Zero Khan the armored furry' as from chapter 12 and onwards im not rewriting an already written story on paper.
Or I get bored of writing that, so I usually do something else, but I thought I should write another story instead of goofing off my mind somewhere else, example:
Author the overseer approaches stickman "Hi" to the stickman, the stickman waves, Author gives it a magnet, the stickman asks "Why did you give me a magnet?", author responds "To attract some bitches! AHAHA-" and flies away off-screen and laughs from the distance. The stickman asks "Was that supposed to be funny?"
btw, If you don't have any idea of this context, I suggest reading the main story first to understand the context of this one.
Btw each chapter doesn't have a script or a storyline, so just know it's purely random. And i choose specifically this cuz the show doesn't have that much of a complex lore or anything that i need to dig down to the core to discover, so it's easy to make a story.
[The story 'Saetang's first vacation' starts]
[Saetang's age: 1Million]
There was an enormous empire of indescribable enormity, it had walls that pierced the skies and beyond, as it was the pillar of the world that kept the skies from falling down to the ground, however, that isn't of our interest at this moment, as we approach the Overlord's castle, and go inside of it, we will zoom into it, and across the thousands of rooms and roaming castle defenders and castle knights we will find a special subject to observe, there he is, now as you can see, this is a civilized overlord, just enjoying his life.
It was an extremely tall room, with bookshelves that looked like skyscrapers, the room was shining always, as the golden light spread throughout the room and made it look like the entire room was entirely made out of pure gold, there was a single tall block that was surrounded by four rifle knight on each corner and two other on top of the block.
There was a light-brown man with eyebrows that looked like iron bars was rocking on a hammock back and forth reading a manga, he looked at the pages and flipped the pages over and over until he finished reading that, and he just either threw it away into a box or conserved it in a shelf.
However, he wasn't alone swinging back and forth on a hammock, next to him was a knight with all symbols all over his helmet and armor and a cape that covered only his left side, and unlike the other 4 knights down there, he did not wield any king of weaponry.
Hours, days, weeks, and months have passed, until..
He was about to pick the next book, however, he slightly hesitate to pick up the next book, so he looked at it. It was a full white book with a character on the cover.
He eventually picked up the book, however, as soon he picked up the book he could feel a jolt of magic power coursing through him.
"WOaHaHahAAA" He dropped the book where it was originally and started to flap his hand as if trying to dry the water off his hand.
"Ohoh, a magic book, wonder what's written inside there" He said as he tried to pick up the book again, this time he didn't get shocked, and he could read it
"Hm? What is this manga about? Doesn't look like one" He looked at it confused, as he turned it around to inspect both the behind and cover of this book.
"This doesn't look like a manga, doesn't even have a summary or a title on the cover here"
The book was completely white, and the cover of the book was just a person with a long camo coat that reached his knees, a sweatshirt exactly the same as his, a green helmet but somewhat cracked in the middle, and a paintball mask with red glowing goggles
The character on the cover had a flipbook in his left hand and a pencil in his other hand ready to write or draw something on it.
"Weird, well, lets open" And so he did, he flipped open the first page
there was a big-ass title saying-
Author's worldbuilding and magic
"Oh, this is different? English? this is the first non-french language book or manga out of all the mangas over there and not only, it's written by Author" he , he looked at a picture..? No, it was a drawing made out of graphite.
The drawing was a star with dull corners and had 1 sun and 1 natural satellite
"Is this where we live? No wonder why the world's borders are shaped like that then. Too bad the vehicles that are supposed to fly to reach the outside world aren't strong enough to get out of this world, or they just get slapped down by the author I dunno." he said as he flipped the page
However, before he started reading he suddenly had a hunch
"I wonder if the author is watching me right now-FUCK YOU AUTHOR! YOU GOT NO BALLS, YOU SERVE. NO PURPOSE! YOU DON'T DO SHIT! KILL YOURSELF. NOW!" he yelled while flipping off the air
in the black of space, in absolute nowhere, two beings of immeasurable power and-
"WITH A SECRET AMBITION" "ambition, ambition."
"IT'S NOT OUR THING TO WALK ON A ROAD THAT'S PAAAVVEEDDDDD!" Author sang out loud and head banging at the same time, there was a boombox proportioned to its size floating next to him, somehow making songs in space.
"WE'RE NOT THE ONE WHO ROAM THE THE TRAIL THAT'S BLAAAAAAAZZEEEEEEEE!"
"AND THERE'S A FLAME IN YOUR EYES THAT'S IGNITING MINE!" He sang as he pointed at Starkeeper, which had both his hands crossed while shaking it's head
"I KNOW I HAVE SEEN IT BEFORE!"
"IN THE GAZE OF THE PROWLING LION!"
"IM NOT AFRAID ANYMOOOOREEEE!"
"damn this song is a banger!" Author said between the lyrics
"LET'S BREAK, THE RULES!" he sang "Break the rules!" he replicated the background choir
"AND REALLY PUT OUR BACK INTO IT! MAX OUT, PURSUE IT!"
"WHAT'S BETTER TIME THAN NOW TO CROSS THE LAAAAAIIINEEEEEEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeee -cough- n"
"Damn, that was good." he said that in between the lyrics
"AND MAKE SURE THAT YOUR-" he stopped singing as he noticed that the song he was singing stopped
"HEY! Why did you stop the music!" author yelled at Starkeeper
"You should be overseeing our world, not singing songs, plus, you're awful at singing" Starkeeper said as he took away the boombox
"Oh cmon, I was enjoying myself!" Author complained
"Well, that's not our job" Starkeeper said
"Both of us are not getting paid a single cent for this job, let me do whatever I want! Plus it's not against one of your rules!" and snatched back the boombox
"HEY! You shouldn't be taking that back from me!" Starkeeper proceeded to chase author
"Alright, he's not watching me" He said after a while he was reading the book, however, he noticed something.
It wasn't the language he was expecting to see but this was a different language..
It was written in Italian. "Oh? Well, that was a surprise, luckily the Italians have preserved well their language and history, so I kinda know what is written here. weird that the title is written in English but the context in it is written in Italian, odd way of writing if I have to say" he said as he was rocking back and forth on his hammock and reading his book
In this book, no characters will be on display and explained, only the world and the magic in it.
"Does that imply that there is a book that talks about the species?" the overlord said
(This is actually stuff that i have written on paper, without the overlord reacting to it tho)
This world is a place where beasts are rampant and free to do as their instinct demands.
Humans do not exist in this world, but only beasts exist.
Mindless and non-questioning of this reality I've given them.
Basically an dystopia where the strongest rules over the strong
To be honest, i always tried to make a haunting kind of world, but no matter how haunting it is, I always manage to make something funny out of it.
In my previous story, which was a comic, 4 years ago i tried to make a comic about the judgment day but I ended up making a goofy and funny story with ridiculous characters.
All beasts are hardwired in following their instinct, and incapable or an unbreakable limited understanding of any concept beyond the 3rd wall, thus, incapable to interact or see the audience no matter the amount of intellect, wisdom, or curiosity they possess
However, if a human happens to exist here, there is an 80% it will go extinct, but if it strives, it will go beyond the code and question its reality.
And Humans unlike many other species, are apart of this world, thus, uncontrollable for the overseers and un-chained from the code
"If humans never existed in the first place here then how we got here? Well, im technically not a human anymore since im an Overlord now, but how did we get here then" He questioned the book, but it gave no answers at the moment
Now that I mentioned the overseers, they are exactly as they sound, an supervisor. Programmed and hardwired to do as their program demands, self-aware computers I have to say,
Even though all that they do is actually dictated by whatever I want them to do. Overseers can be anything really, they can be a typical god that controls the balance of the universe thing, or just an outlaw that goes everywhere and does shit, and sometimes just passive watchers;
Such as Author the overseer, Starkeeper the overseer, and Observer the overseer. They are core examples
Author has been my first 'god' kind of character, invented that shit when I was a kid; he simply exists to keep in shape the creatures, and from time to time do an exam of physical might, and a generalist at balancing the world. although he can be cruel, he doesn't see that, basically looking like satan for the mortals, however, that is simply hardwired in its program.
Originally it was named "THE GUARDIAN OF THE BOX" because, well, in the beginning, it was simply a school project where we had to bring a box and put in it whatever we wanted that was part of our identity, and I accidentally created this guy and named that shit "THE GUARDIAN OF THE BOX" and however years later I thought about a unique appearance that I could think of for a god, and I remembered "THE GUARDIAN OF THE BOX" and I took his appearance from that accident.
This guy is a total mess, he goes to random places at random times, and sometimes he picks up some decorations to bring back home, the problem is that the decorations are walking nukes, still don't get it somehow? just imagine your loved ones go on a vacation and they bring back a hand grenade for you, and they give it to you and it doesn't have a pin.
In summary huh.. imagine God from Christianity, right? Now change his personality to be an absolute jerk(Maybe I should have made the example with Zeus)-Boom you got Author the overseer.
(Plus, you may find a drawing of Author somewhere in real life, especially at Art schools, hidden somewhere)
Starkeeper is the second god kind of character, he showed up in the Author's life trillions of years later, which is why in stories featuring it, the author despises Starkeeper's existence and vice versa, however, they do sometimes agree, since they literally do the same job, just they have to overseer something different; His sole purpose is to keep an eye on Author to avoid doing some random shit because Author isn't exactly a kind of god to have an extremely sharp understanding or have any knowledge of the balance of the universe unlike starkeeper, so this one was created with the purpose to overseer the overseers, it is also armed with wisdom and rules that allows him to overpower the Author, if Author ever breaks rules, However, in general, he has less power than author.
Also, Starkeeper isn't allowed to go anywhere else other than near Author.
In summary, imagine it as Jesus Christ, yeah? But he only looks after one adhd chimpanzee and he wields a machineguns from both hands, and he also flexes his chest onwards because yes.
Now to the Observer, it is pretty self-explanatory, it is the last thing I ever invented and the newest of the bunch. The observer is the narrator, the cameraman, and the reviewer.
Silent but precise eye-sight, since its appearance it's just a giant flying eyeball. He basically exists to record and narrate whatever it deems interesting or worth it to the audience or readers, sometimes he can do a selfie, as sometimes it is displayed as if there was a second observer.
It often goes anywhere it wants, plus this is the only character that doesn't break the 5th wall or is in the 5th wall.. He is the 5th wall.
So in summary it's just simply an cameraman
"I dunno what to feel about this, it seems confusin' this book that im reading. All over the place. Sounds like it wasn't meant to be read to an audience, but rather a group of friends" the overlord said
And overseers in general are in the 4th wall, so they just sit cozy with the audience, although, just calling the overseer part of the audience is a bit incorrect, and they are also capable of breaking the 5th wall, although, most of the time they are ignorant about that.
But in reality, they are all in all walls at the same time with the exception of the 5th wall.
Wait no, no no, now that I think of it, Overseers are indeed omnipotent, however, they do not have omnipresence. So they just hop from one wall to another as they wish, and when they change wall, they either shrink or expand based on how big is where they are, if where they are it's too big then they will expand to their standard size
The overlord simply didn't question the last paragraph and just flipped the page to the next one.
And there is a special power that Author has that is called 'The Judgement day'
Basically allows him to ignore the disaster of the imbalance of power, and copyright and bring anything that he wants in that world that he cast the ability.
He will have a panel like a RTS video game where he orders and train units to enter the battle field.
And those units in the lore is basically the soul dead that fights for the author hope to win for themself of eternal, peaceful life.
However, the ability is active only for 24 hours, he won't be able to leave the world.
But err, the downside is very minor, since he can do what the fuck he wants now with it.
Now that im done talking about the abominations that are overseers. let's talk about magic.
Magic is a gift from the world to aid the lucky ones in their life, only 1 in a billion has the chance to gain magic capabilities
The reason magic is so rare is simply because magic is superior to technology and muscles.
Also, unlike most other fictional stories, where when they consume all their mana they flop around and die of mana deprivation;
In my world, there is no such thing, as mana not connected to life, rather, it's like a video game, once your mana-bar is depleted, start running or use your sword, otherwise you are fucked up.
However, the downside is that, unless a special kind of magic, it is not possible to perform healing spells or any spell related to the body and mind.
"Wait a second" He suddenly closed the book to look at the cover "This character is supposed to represent Author drawing or writing on a flipbook?" He looked for a second more "What? This is.. im pretty sure he's not Author, he looks drastically different from this guy" he said while he lightly tapped the cover of the book.
"Well, dunno, maybe if I continue reading the book answers will be given"
And the overlord continued to read the book.
Also, mana here doesn't have a limit or a bar that mana has a limit.
So you can theoretically store an infinite amount of mana without any restrictions or downsides.
However, most experienced magic caster knows that they must not use too much magic, as the mana regeneration is slow as fuck.
Now we talked about the magic system, let's talk about some creatures.
"Wasn't this supposed to be about worldbuilding and magic? I guess creatures count as world building for author"
Beastmen kings, overlords, Colossals, ambush worms, death plant, a few normal cactuses, and some other random shit, are the first beasts to ever exist in this world,
Although overlords are a lot more diverse than most other species, they are different from other creatures, as all the creatures that I mentioned before except Overlord are all quadruple creatures, Overlords are kind of humanoid creatures, they got pale skin and they are quite tall, and lanky creature, however, they possess by nature or capable? of magic, and also capable of speech if they use magic. Otherwise if for some reason an overlord is incapable of magic, it will be instead a hulk, the difference is that it's an intellectual hulk, and not just jumping around and destroying anything it sees
"Now you tell me that an overlord without magic is instead a Hulk? What is a Hulk, you tell me random shit and don't even explain to me what is it" He said while lightly backhand slapping the page as frustrated.
Now that I stopped talking about that, let's talk about beastman kings.
Beastmen kings are giant quadrupled species that eats meat, although, they are on the verge of extinction because they are too stupid. They have no idea how to hunt for food or make an intellectual plan to catch food, such as sneaking behind them, at the beginning they didn't need to have such a complicated brain, as the beginning competition was simple.
However if we ignore they are diagnosed as chronically dumb, they are imposing walking fortresses that aren't slow as you would expect from a tank, but they are also
fast as fuck. Prey is dumb and predator is also dumb.
So in summary those things are fighter jets armored with armadillo armor but the pilot is a fucking idiot
And so the overlord continued to read the entire thing until he reaches the last written page
"Oh, there are still so many pages left but it's not written till the very last page? Too bad then, it seems I won't be getting my answers for the next millions of years" the overlord said as he closed the book and conserved it on a shelf.
However, something disturbed the attention of the overlord, there was a knock on the door.
There was a woman, she had curly hair, green eyes, and fair skin. She also wore a green robe, suit and tie under it, and a cylinder hat on her head, and on the hat there was attached a sort of ponytail. She also had a quite large pouch that was leashed on her hip.
She was walking down the hallway of the same castle that the overlord and the guard resided in.
As she walked down the hallway, there were obviously castle knights, which only avoid her, they did give a small bow when passing by, but other than that, they ignored her completely, as she didn't exist
"Oh my god Why me oh my god" "I don't wanna die today, I didn't even want to, but I had toOoO" she said as both hands pulled her own hair and she ground her teeth in anxiety
"WHAT if he doesn't like how I act and-and!"
[Flashback]
"Kill you? BAHAHA The king won't even touch you, let alone kill you.. as long he doesn't have a reason to. The king is quite a normal person when it comes to his personality, you won't end up having your head cut off even if you insult him." A voice of a man replayed in her head as he slapped her back in encouragement
"Although, you shouldn't insult him for any reason because others will beat you up in his stead, even if he didn't ask for it." he warned her
"Yeah! Now dear, go and send him the message and the bag. Im sure that you will be fine!" A voice of a woman replayed in her head she said as she held both of her own cheeks
"But err" she looked around himself "Despite his personality, he does have a vulgar mouth from time to time, and don't try to do anything funny to him, you will regret it. Many have tried to trick him or pressure him, but only ended up backfiring to them" she whispered to her.
"Now go, it's your duty" She smiled
"I DONT WAN TOOooOAOAO" Her own voice replayed in her head as she wailed to the sky
The flashback ended as she quietly walked through the hallway, and only the sound of tapping from her shoes could be heard
She finally arrived where she was supposed to be, in front of her it was the Overlord's library, where he spent most of his time in.
"You can do it, you can do it... Remember, she told you that it's gonna be fine, yeah it's gonna be fine" she chanted her mantra in front of the door
Her sweaty palm approached the doorknob to open it-
[30 minutes later]
She was sitting next to the door, tucking her legs into herself and holding them together with her arms, and tried to hide her face in that.
"what i am gonna dooo" She lamented
The castle knights that roam around the castle just passed by as if she didn't exist.
'Those knights must have a really bad eye-sight with those helmets.. Or they see me but don't care' she thought
Later there was a different sound of footsteps that filled the hallway, it was different from the knights, as their footsteps were metallic sound.
This sound is a footstep made from a pair of boots and fabric.
She raised her head and looked in the direction of the footsteps.
She saw that it was a girl in country clothing, looks like she works on a farm, but what is she doing here? there were also two castle knights that followed behind the woman.
However, soon later she also noticed her.
"Hey whut is yawl doin' cryin' ovur hare?" The girl with a cowboy hat said to her
"umh.. What?" She said quietly
"Ah sayud whut is yawl doin' cryin' ovur hare?" the girl repeated louder while leaning slightly
"She said 'What are you crying over here'" one of the castle knights translated for her
"Oh uh, I was.. I wasn't crying, I wasss huh.. sitting. yeah! I was sitting here"
"Well you look like a messenger, you are here to deliver a message right? the overlord is sitting right there" The other castle knight pointed at the door
"izit chur fursd tahm meetin' thuh overlord perhaps? Cuz nevur sayn yawl before 'round here" The girl in country clothing said
She took a while to understand as she tried to formulate words out of the accent of her
"never seen me.. 'round here? Yeah.. I needed to send this message but.." The messenger said
"Oh it's easy" The girl said.
As soon she said that she heard the sounds that she never wanted to hear at this moment
KNOCK
KNOCK
KNOCK
The world around her moved in slow motion, she slowly stood up and puffed her chest to them
"NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" she yelled at them in slow motion too
However, something disturbed the attention of the overlord, there was a knock on the door.
"Open the door, it must be the girl that takes the box" The overlord said
One of the royal knights opened the door.
There were two castle knights, one farmer girl, and a messenger that looked angry and shocked at the same time at the other three.
The farmer girl walked inside as soon the door was open, slipping by the royal knight.
She stood not far from the door, the royal knight was watching her but turned his attention to the door, and then stood aside and signed to enter, but the messenger shily backed off
"Overlord, i am hare tuh take out thuh trash, few dont mind" She bowed in an exaggerated manner
"Nah, don't mind, it's over there" the overlord pointed at a nicely packed box right next right beside her
"Oh thank yawl" She quickly picked up the box and look at the overlord
"Can ya read those books faster? aah want 'em" She asked to the overlord
"I got millions of years, as long I don't die I can read as slow as I want" The overlord replied while still reading the book
"oh yore gonna read so slow thet i die of old age?" The farmer girl said while pointing to the overlord as if accusing him
"Yup." The overlord casually replied
"Well, im every second closer to be a granny, aah thank ya fo-wah the books 'n aah gotta go" She turned tail and ran out of the door with the box
There was silence for a second.
"My lord, there is a messenger" One of the royal guard said to the overlord
"What does she want? let her in." The overlord said
The royal knight was in a position of letting her in, and she slowly walked inside, as soon as she walked inside, the royal knight closed the door behind her.
"What's wrong? Did something happen?" The overlord stopped reading his book and sat on his hammock towards the door
"Greetings, my lord- i" She stopped talking, and was silent for a second
"I-i got a message for your majesty, it's about thee-the victory upon the other countries." She started to fiddle with the button of the pouch on her hip
She brought up a bag that look like it was full of coins in it and a message attached to it, she held the bag with both hands and looked at the overlord.
Her face was sweaty, her pupil was basically a dot, her mouth was contorted and she looks like she was about to fall like a tower of cards at any moment.
In her perspective, the room was of blinding gold, it was like the sun was in the room, the skyscrapers filled with books were hard to describe, and could only be admired from your own eye, the amount of knowledge that this room alone could have in it was terrifying to think.
The guards towered over her and all their attention was only on her, and not only, on top of an imposing and tall block, but there was also the overlord that was obscured by the blinding lights, that was known for an infinite amount of power, intellect, and wisdom. She felt like an ant being presented with the entire world before her, she was nothing compared to it as she could only look up to it.
"It'z itsz money that other countriess giftd to apologize for being in your way, during-during the war, i-got sent to give it to your majesty" She said, there was silence after that
The overlord leaned back a bit and turned around to talk with the royal knight right beside him, the royal knight also leaned down to hear better
"Hey, What the fuck wrong with the girl? She looks like she just received a death sentence" He whispered to the royal knight beside him
The knight was silent for a second.
in the meanwhile, the girl looks like she was facing a killer that wanted to assassinate her, and she took a few steps back in horror.
"I HAVE NO IDEA! HOWEVER, IM PRETTY SURE SHE IS CHARMED AND ENCHANTED! AS SHE WALKED INTO THE ROOM, SHE SAW THE MAN OF THE ENTIRE EMPIRE, THE BEAM OF THE FORCE OF NATURE THAT THREATEN TO SEPARATE FROM HER FROM TRUE LOVE, AS SHE REACHES OUT FOR HER LOST FOREVER LOVE, IT WAS UNGRASPABLE, UNREACHABLE, UNTOUCHABLE AND INVISIBLE! THUS SHE FEARS THE MAN BEFORE HER!" He said in the loudest and most obnoxious voice possible, which echoed in the entire room.
The room was then in absolute silence, everyone looked at him, and even the other royal knights looked at him, even if their face was invisible because of the helmet, it could be felt that they were in shock.
The overlord looked at him in awe, however, seconds later the overlord started to laugh.
the girl's face contorted from fear and anxiety to a face of joy, and started to giggle, although she tried to hide it by covering her mouth.
"That's ridiculous, I do not think that's the reason, captain!" The overlord said as he continued to laugh and slapped the royal knight's back
"eheh, Author's will my lord" The captain replied back
"Eh, Anyways, got something else to say to me?" The overlord stopped laughing and asked her
"Umh.. huh... No my lord, I have nothing else to say, now if I may, I take my leave." She said as she bowed and unexpectedly gave the bag of coins to the royal knight beside her.
She walked out of the door, and the royal knight closed the door behind her.
"Alright, Im gonna continue to read my book." He said as he laid down on the hammock.
She walked out of the room, and the royal knight closed the door behind her.
She was trying not to giggle but then started to quietly laugh.
However, it seems she wasn't the only one laughing.
She looked to her left, it was the same farmer girl and the same two castle knights. Three of them had their ears attached to the wall.
all three of them were laughing.
"You three also heard that?" the messenger asked
"Yeah! It wuz hayud not tuh hear thet, i wuz bout tuh go awf but heard sumone yelling" The farmer girl said
"I was curious when she was trying to hear through the wall" The castle knight said
"But err, you three shouldn't do that" The messenger said
"Anyways, huh, what is in the box? Something secret?"
"Oh nah, in thus box nuthin' but books" The farmer girl said
" Thuh overlord considers thus garbage, but we think otherwise, saw him in uh desolated place, i sumtimes take uh walk thayure tuh git sum fresh air after work, saw thuh overlord thayure, i asked whut hay wuz doin', hay wanted tuh burn em, but i wanted them, so I weekly come hare an take thuh books thet thuh overlord don't want" The farmer girl said while swinging around the box
The messenger took a while to understand
"Oooh, oh.. okay?" She did not understand.
"Anyways sorry tuh cut short our tawk, however, got alot uh work tuh do" She turned around and started to walk the other side of the hallway, the other two castle knight followed behind her.
"Oh. Bye!" The messenger waved, she stood there for a few seconds, and she turned around and walked away too.
The overlord continued to read his books.
[Hours later]
The overlord after finishing reading the previous book, picked up another book from the stash, however, he noticed that it was empty.
So he decided to get off the hammock, but kinda rolled over to get off the hammock, the captain knight helped him to get up.
"Now, let's see what stash seems interesting" He started to walk in a line, there were in fact other boxes stacked in other smaller boxes. Until there was nothing, however the boxes that were lined up for him, seemed like they were floating, but it seems like the overlord continued to walk to the edge, the overlord casually started to walk on nothing and still inspecting the boxes.
He continued to walk for a while until he stopped in front of a box that had a book that look like it related to the author, he could feel a striking familiarity with the book he was observing
He grabbed the book and felt the expected jolt of magic power, however, he just shrugged it off, since it doesn't actually do any harm, and watched the white cover
"Oh yeah, just as i expected. " He said
"The book of magic made by The Author" he read out loud the title on the white cover
"Oh wow, this one has a title on the cover"
He looked at another box for a second, he saw a glimpse of another book with similar color
"Another book with the same title? It's a copy or an addition?"
He walked over there seemingly walking on empty air and grabbed that book from the box.
He opened both books at the same time at the first page
"Well, seems like the second one is an addition and not a copy. Although I don't know which I must read first, doesn't have a sequel or prequel written anywhere."
He chooses to read one of the two books anyways.
[45 minutes later]
He just finished to read the magic book, he was re-reading again
Another several minutes later
"Oh, this is.. You can fly? This magic spell will allow you to fly, tricky to use, because it's not just lifting you up, it's blowing air around you so it pushes you enough to fly"
"Let's try."
"Overlord defense: phoenix shield 10x!" The spell immediately cast on himself
"Andddd Supportive magic: Fly!" he said, there was no cannon or chanting needed, and the spell was already applied
He started to fly, however, there was something wrong, he was beginning to spin like a Beyblade. Then rocketed himself to the roof
His head was stuck on the roof, but he accidentally deactivated the spell and fell down
"Oh, I have only two phoenix shields left" The overlord slammed on the floor, and the invisible glass that was the floor broke into bits, then hit the ground and all the shields were gone
"I should practice in the open field instead" he said as he stood back up
The royal knights came to assist him, but the overlord refused the help and just walked like nothing happened
"I must say, this book unlike the other two books, it's written better, less chaos and it seems like it was actually made to be read to an audience" the overlord said
[hours later]
The overlord picked up the second book.
There is a genre of magic called 'upper overlord magic' and 'Author's magic'
This magic is not for attacking, defending, or supporting.
This magic is for distorting or/and changing reality itself or in simple words, breaking the physics; Such as stopping time, making you taller, teleporting, deleting or creating matter.
"Oh this is-[ANOTHER HOURS LATER, THE FUCKING PLOT MUST START SOON]
He's been reading those 30 pages for hours.
Until he turned to the last page
Those are the last three spells, those are special.
Isekai'd, Author's world crossing and World portal
Isekai'd is a spell that allows the user or others to transfer the soul to the desired world, whether reality or fictional. (Reality for them, not in our world)
During the crossing, There will be a moment when your body transforms into a new and different body to fit that world's rules.
All your magic or muscles, weaknesses, and strenghts will be also transformed and carried over with your new body.
If you isekai yourself, time in your old world will stop ticking, until you return by thinking 'magic: Cancel isekai'
Giant ass warning: Anything can happen, during the transformation of the body, soul, and timeline you land in is completely random.
However, on the good side: If you happen to die with your body, your soul will simply return back to the old body. But, if your soul perishes, then you are dead.
However, there is a 1% chance instead of having a new body, you will be transferred with your body, rules, items or magic, muscles, and weaknesses to that world, and still have the upsides.
The way to properly cast the magic is to pick up a book or say a title of a book and cast the spell on the desired target.
{awawawaawawaw}
Author's world crossing is an upgraded version of the isekai'd, it's a spell that allows you to transfer the user or others to other worlds without needing to create a new body, as your entire body will be transferred to that world ignoring the rules and keeping everything the transferred every single item on them.
And it is secured as you have full control of what timeline or when you can land it (For the user, for others they are at the user's mercy)
However, while this is a lot more comfortable as you won't have an identity crisis, you will probably stand out among the population of that world and if you happen to die, then you will perish forever, and any items, magic, or physics of that world won't be effective on you, that meaning healings or potions or the magic of that world will not be compatible and not usable for the transferred.
However, the last downside is that you cannot use this on yourself, it can only be used against others.
The correct way to cast the spell is simply to think about what world to go to, when to land and cast it to the desired target.
{awawaawawawawaw}
World portal is basically the same time as Author's world crossing, the only difference is that it will be possible to cross between two worlds constantly and in large numbers, with this spell, you can teleport an entire country into that portal.
There isn't really a downside, except the fact that you are visible as fuck while doing so, as it's literally a giant glowing flat sphere emerging from the ground, then some dude's come out of that.
"Uh, I might try this out, sounds interesting." The overlord said as he closed the book
"Alright, guys, I got.. an.. Nevermind." The overlord said as he looked around himself, they were sleeping
"It's night?" The overlord said
Then the door slowly opened, and poke out another captain, apparently another group of royal knights came to changing shift
"Did we disturb you my lord?" One of the royal knights that was the captain asked as he walked inside while bowing
"No, just noticed those guys are sleeping" The overlord replied
"Oh no, im sorry that you're greatness had to see such weakness in our fellows" The other captain apologized
"Ah don't worry, it's night or day time?" The overlord asked
"It's day time my lord" The captain replied
"Alright, let's go to a kid's bookstore" The overlord said
"Huh, my lord, please, let us at least bring the asleep on a bed" the captain said
"Right, yeah, go on, im gonna wait here" The overlord said
The other royal knights dragged them by their shoulders to the door, and they were all gone.
The overlord walked up the stairs and sat on his hammock
he waited for about 15 minutes a group of 5 royal knights came back.
"We are now at your service my lord" The captain said
"Alright, let's go into town and go in that kid's bookstore" The overlove said
"Yes my lord, let us prepare the armored carriage for you-" the captain got cut off sentence
"No need, I want to try out many new spells that I've learned."
"Oh.. I see my lord, but are you sure that your greatness wishes to travel on foot and unprotected? It will be faster and much safer on carriage"
"Don't worry, I have a new spell that will do the work of protecting, and about the speed, well, im eager to test the new spells, but not in a hurry, plus, a walk won't hurt us"
The overlord said
And so the six embark on their short journey to the kid's bookstore
4 Royal knights stood in corners to create a box around the overlord, and the captain was right behind him.
They all started to walk in the hallway, the castle knights attached themselves to the wall as soon they spot them to make way.
And the captain leaned near the overlord and said something
"My lord, may I call even more men to make a good impression among the townspeople?"
"Show off eh? Why not, call the commander to send 12 more knights to the main gate for further protection, we are going on foot. Don't call any of the castle knights since they are here to protect the castle, and I do not want to leave the castle unattended just because of a bit of showoff." The overlord ordered
"Oh, now that you are already at it, tell the Royal knights that they are free of duty until further notice"
"Yes, my lord" The captain replied
The captain picked up a radio from nowhere and started dialing
Minutes later they reached in front of the castle's gate, as expected, there were 12 knights.
It seems like the commander sent their most veteran of the knights, since those 12 had at least 5 badges attached to their head
The overlord walked towards them, since they were standing at the gate.
As soon as the knights noticed the overlord, they split in half, went to the sidelines, and stood sideways.
The overlord continued to walk forward as if nothing happened
"Knights, follow me. Captain, reform a formation that will be suitable to go through a large crowd or cities"
The captain makes a few steps behind and looked at the big picture.
He looked here and there, then the captain after a minute had an idea.
He started to bring the royal knights and knights in different positions around the overlord.
After a few minutes, the captain looked satisfied with the formation and called the ship formation
It was basically a slim but long-shaped formation.
Suitable to penetrate through large crowds.
"Now, let's try a spell" The overlord said
"Upper overlord magic: multi-box counterguard" As soon he said that the men around the overlord were coated in a crystalizing-silver layer of blob formed around them, the knights noticed the change and look at their hands in awe.
"According to the information, this is a passive protection spell that does not consume magic reserve, however, it does consume magic reserve each time it gets attacked and the magic reserved used scales the amount of damage receive."
"Now, to test if this is true, start attacking each other and see if it works" The overlord ordered
The knights and royal knights just started to step away from the overlord, and they started bonking each other on the head
"Hmm, even with you all hitting each other it doesn't consume that much magic reserve."
"Men, start to hit harder" The overlord ordered
So the knights and the royal knight's started hammering each other
"Excellent, my magic regeneration outspeeds the magic consumption, stop the test now" The overlord ordered
So they stopped and returned back into formation.
"Upper overlord magic: unconquerable and unshakeable" The overlord didn't have any difference in appearances.
"Alright, march!" and started to walk, and so did the formation.
[play 'indiana jones theme' for 5 second lol]
the group walked through the city, the townspeople made way for the overlord to go through, and there was a stadium-level crowd that followed behind the overlord. Although some did not make way, the knights just shoved that kind of people out of the way.
Fortunately, no conflict or danger was met during the journey.
[30 minutes later]
(Also, gonna make this section fast, cuz I wanna post this, I noticed that this piece of shit is 7000 words long, gotta go fast boi)
"Here we are!" The overlord said out loud
They were in front of a kid's bookstore, the overlord started climbing the stairs to the bookstore.
There was the bookstore clerk who was bored out of his mind while reading a random book, as he was waiting at the front desk for costumers
The door rang the bells to signal that a customer as arrived
"Welcome to the bookstore dear costumer" He said but he continued reading the book
Then another door rang signaled, then another one, another one and another
The clerk was curious why so many people are entering at once, and so he lifted his head to look up
"How dare you call the supreme lord of this empire just simply a dear customer, associating the supreme lord as any other commoner!" The knight with the sideways cape yelled while having his arm overhanded and pointing at him.
The overlord just looked at his royal knight like 'Wtf?'
"Oh..- OH! I-Im terribly sorry for associating your majesty as a commoner, please forgive me" He said as he bowed his head into the desk
"Just, I never expected your greatness to ever come to such a bookstore! and i-"
"Oh please shut the fuck up" The overlord said
"Now, will you answer some of my question" he asked
"Err, yeah, if it's in my knowledge" The clerk answered
'Did an overlord-level crime scene happen? I saw nothing I swear!'
"Well, can you show me which is the section that are books made for kids to read?" The overlord asked the clerk
"Oh, didn't expect that. Yes, my lord, I'll show the way" The clerk stood up and lead the way
And so they did, after a few seconds, the clerk showed the section of books made for kids.
The overlord requested to search for the most friendly book, there were other assistants that roamed around the bookstore, they also came to assist the knights in search of the book, but the royal knight with the sideways cape stayed behind the overlord.
After hours of searching, they put all the books down on a table
The overlord inspected all of them and walked back and forth
Most of them were bland and colorless.
Some of them displayed superheroes saving princesses and kingdoms
a few of them were plain childish and plotless
On average, they were either hardened steeled warriors and smileless heroes whose only muscles mattered
However.
There was one that stood out from the rest for the overlord.
A colorful, vibrant, and full of smiling. There were a thousand different colors and shades to look at, and all of the characters seem like not to be humans, but some sort of creatures that the overlord did not recognize.
They were all four-legged creatures, with a neck, and a head with a snout. Some of them even had wings or spikes coming out of their head, and had manes on their neck and a tail made out of hair; They looked weirdly adorable, as their eyes resembled that of babies' big eyes and round head.
The overlord walked closer to that book, and he touched it, it did not only look different, but it also felt different, as the material used was hard and rough, which the overlord recognized immediately as pure wood, and the strings were fibers that he hasn't seen since forever, and the thickness of the book look like it was a ton of pages.
"Who and when this book was made?" The overlord asked the bookstore clerk, that was with him waiting to be helpful
"Oh, I have no idea, a quadrupled creature with a hood came here and place it on sell a long time ago, my lord. but I have no idea what is its identity. your majesty could look inside or behind there could be written something?" The clerk said
"Doesn't that guy look familiar to this particular book?" The overlord asked the clerk
He just shook his head
"Can I read?" The overlord asked
"Obviously my lord, your Majesty can do whatever wishes" the clerk was about to say but got cut off sentence
"Alright" The overlord said as he opened the book and started reading
The little ponies
Have you ever wondered what friendship is like?
Let me share that magic with you
The Courageous, the Comedian, the Strong, the Beautiful, The kind, and the Intelligent.
The six who will face evil, misdeeds, and mishaps
Not alone, but together.
Then there was a picture of six 4 legged creatures:
There was a purple one with an horn, an orange one with a cowboy hat,
a white one with a purple mane, a pink smiling one, a light-blue one that has wings,
and a yellow one with pink mane.
The overlord turned to the next page
And started reading 10 pages.
Then he quickly scrolled through the book, it was about 600 pages
"Alright, this is set in stone. How much is it"
"3 macro stellas my lord" the clerk said
The overlord gave the macro stellas
"Here 3 macro stellas, let's go men!" and he started walking away, the royal and non-royal knights started to march into formation around the overlord
And so they left.
Then seconds later a storm of people entered the bookstore after the overlord walked out
"The king's bookstore!" "Does anyone know what books the overlord touched?!" "There is no way this is a kid's bookstore, the king stepped here!"
Then the bookstore was filled with people, the clerk and the assistants basically drowned in the seas of crowds, but they will make a lot of sales that day
"UUAUAUAUA HELP-MEAAAAAAAAAAAA" the clerk yelled
[play 'indiana jones theme' again for 5 seconds lol]
On their way back, the overlord demanded 10 prisoners on death row for some testings
[At the Overlord's castle]
And once they are in the castle, the knights went to their duties, and the royal knights and the overlord went on their way.
but instead of going to the library, they went to a different room.
There were two rooms, one where there were comfy chairs, monitors, and self-defense weapons, the other side was an empty room only filled with concrete.
there is a glass panel to separate the two rooms.
The overlord went for the comfy room and sat on a chair and the royal knights stood behind him.
"Where are the death rows?" the overlord asked
"They were waiting for you my lord, i let them in?" the captain replied
"I wanted them already inside the chamber, let them in" The overlord
"My apologies" Then he picked up the same communication device and dialed
Seconds later a group of inmates with bright uniforms entered the room, they were all roped to each other on their wrists.
Once they were all in, the door closed behind them
They all lined up shoulder to shoulder facing the glass panel (which is a one-way mirror) and they were instructed to look in the direction of the overlord.
"medium overlord magic: Inventory" Everything became grey and stopped in time, and a panel appeared in front of the overlord.
Then the panel disappeared and everything went back to normal, however, there were two books on the overlord's lap.
The overlord extended his arm, and a magic circle formed, he picked up one book with only one hand and turned the pages
"Overlord magic: Impalment!" One of the inmates got penetrated from below all the way to the head
"Offensive overlord magic: Fuck you" One of the inmates exploded into guts
"Author's magic: Accelerate maximum" One of the inmates died of cardiac arrest
"Upper overlord magic: Isekai'd to Made in abyss" One of the inmates just flops to the ground and seems like just lost consciousness
"Offensive overlord magic: Die" One of the inmates just stopped living
The overlord turned the page
At this point, the other inmates begged the to get outta there, since for them all they saw was their fellows just dying without a reason
"Hmm, what did the inmate at the corner did for being on death row?"
"she raped 10 boys"
"Say one of the prison guards to get inside the chamber"
And so the captain dialed
"Do you have every single radio?" The overlord asked
"yes, my lord, got 20 different radios to dial 20 different divisions" the captain replied
"And you remember all of them?" he asked
"Indeed I do my lord" the captain responded
Seconds later one of the guards walked inside the chamber
One of the inmates jumped over the guard but was soon met with an electrifying hug as the guards were covered in electric wires all around themselves, to add insult to injury, the guard responded by shoving him and then doing a quick police brutality on the inmate.
"Supportive overlord magic: Overpower" The prison guard during the beating exploded on the next hit during the overpowering spell
The prison guard looks at the baton in confusion.
The overlord holder down a button and started talking
"Guard, do you see the woman at the corner? Do a flick on her head" the voice was heard through the entire chamber
And so the guard did, the woman died on the spot upon the guard's flick made contact with her and her body fell down like a ragdoll
"Alright, you can get out of the chamber room" The guard backed to the wall and started walking sideways to the door, opened the door and got out, then closed the door.
The overlord released the microphone. He extended his arm, and a magic circle appeared and aimed at the guard "Magic: Cancel passive status" The magic circle received symbols and words, then shattered.
"Did he walk backward so his back doesn't face the inmates? Smart." he complimented the guard after returning to a neutral sitting position
"So, there are other three left.. Upper overlord magic: Author's world crossing" to one of the inmates, however, something went wrong.
The magic circle could not receive the symbols properly and shattered.
"Oh.. It seems it requires way more magical power than I currently have."
"Alright, the test is done for today. Take them out of the chamber"
[Overlord's Chamber room; 35 minutes]
The overlord spent 30 minutes reading the book that he bought from the kid's bookstore. (The other 5 minutes was his overlord spinning with the chair lol)
He finished all 600 pages
"Huh, seems like everything always ends well, because of the funny thing called 'Power of Friendship' a good place to start, since everything always goes well no matter what. They are all equally idiots but they are backed up by their skills and knowledge, and they stay together to cover each other weaknesses and strengths"
"Although, i don't get how the time system works there, as every page makes it sounds like every single day is a disaster."
The overlord got up and started walking in the hallway, the royal knights who sat down 25 minutes ago stood up and followed him through the hallway.
[Overlord's Armory]
The overlord armed himself with five books into his sweatshirt's pockets, which somebody all 5 books fit inside. The standard, intermediate, and advanced book of magic, and the two author magic book
He put a pistol in the holster, a tazer and put on a full armor underneath his clothes
"Would have been convenient if I could use inventory, but I fear that I won't be able to use that when im on the other side" The overlord lamented
[Overlord's Bedroom]
He laid on his bed, with all the equipment from the armory
"Alright, so if i want to come back, it's magic cancel isekai"
"Cancel isekai, alright"
"Upper overlord magic: isekai'd!"
And then Saetang saw nothing but darkness.. but...
The overlord opened his eyes, and he found himself laying on the ground, but he noticed something weird with his eyesight; He could see behind him, up and down, it was hard to explain.
When he opened his eyes he expected to see the sky, but instead of seeing the sky, he saw the ground as if he was standing, just, it seems like he was sleeping belly down.
He tried to stand up but felt his limbs were different, he was incapable of standing up.
He looked around himself, it was green, brown, grey, all colors and shades of the nature. The shining sky beautiful and never seen before for the overlord, clouds passing by that decorated with it.
He looked at himself, turned around with his head, and inspected himself.
Then he figured out, the spell worked
'Yeah, what the fuck did I expect, to be lucky that I get that 1% chance?'
He tried to walk but he stumbled a bit, as he walked only using his hind legs, but forgot to move his forelegs.
He walked step by step, getting used to the weird locomotion of his new body.
But he soon realized something that he felt after moments of getting used to his new body.
He was hungry, thirsty, and sleepy.
'Ah shit, I should have slept, drank, and eaten before coming here, didn't consider that-
He then fell to the side, fortunately, there was somebody.. it was an orange colored 4-legged creature with a cowboy hat
"Hey! Hey! Are ya alright!?" A voice of female voice with a slight tone of masculinity was heard, and he could hear weird sounds that could be recognized as galloping
'Damn, they can talk? Is that english? No one told me that.' the overlord thought
His eyelids slowly closed as the creature in front of him yelled.
"Do ya hear meh? hey! don't pass out-!
And he lost consciousness.
If you read to the very end, mf this is a 10k words prologue, what a maniac that you are that you read this far.. I love that, keep it up.
Anyways, jokes apart, I hope that you enjoyed this so far.
