AN: So, I made a mistake in saying that E-Rantel was the capital during Chapter 3. I didn't realize the capital city was also called Re-Estize so sorry about that.
Chapter 5
It was a tall order for sure, but the only real problem was how sudden it was. Aside from that they simply had to follow the orders given to them. 340,000 soldiers needed weapons and armor, food was needed, resources for rebuilding, cloth, and various other resources that the Re-Estize Kingdom hadn't delivered. Their master had asked for five times that and they'd done it with ease. Stockpiling was common for the members of Star Genesis as a just in case sort of thing. Now these supplies were going to the Dragon Kingdom, and it didn't even make a dent in Star Genesis. After all they had a lot more and could make more with ease.
Siegfried would be the one to deliver everything along with four squads made of humans and elves. It was going to be a very small peek into Star Genesis yet not really. No names would be mentioned but questions would be raised about who these people were, and where exactly the supplies came from. Siegfried had been ordered to wait a day before coming which was a bit strange in his opinion.
The silver haired man was currently walking towards the Dragon Kingdom with the many carts full of supplies behind him. He was ready to draw his blade and fight at any moment. He'd been warned about the beastmen problem, and wasn't going to be taken off guard. They could come from any direction and he would take them down, the question was where they would attack from.
Dragon Kingdom – Capital
Naruto had a feeling that the beastmen would attack soon, but he didn't expect them to attack like this. It was a full scale invasion, they wanted to take the capital and the queens head. There was no doubt that everyone would die if they breached the walls. He and Mordred could very easily leave, but neither of them were the type to leave innocents to die. Not to mention Naruto wanted to be on good terms with the Dragon Queen.
"Let's say that you're telling the truth, what do you want in exchange?"
"Mordred and myself aren't exactly citizens of the Re-Estize Kingdom, we don't have citizenship anywhere really." Naruto explained. "Aside from our adventurer rank and group name, we don't have anything else."
They really didn't have any kind of proper housing outside of Star Genesis. That needed to change.
"Citizenship here would be nice."
"That's it?" the small queen asked. "Citizenship?"
"Yes, that is all I ask." He said before bowing. "Please."
Queen Draudillon had accepted although it was clear that she suspected something. Naruto knew that she was smarter than she let on, and that spelled trouble. It also made things interesting since it showed that she could be a valuable ally and hopefully friend in the future. He had plans, and he needed some political protection for it. Star Genesis was powerful, but they couldn't do everything alone. They needed friends.
But none of that would come to pass if the capital was destroyed. Which was why he was going to use Super-Tier magic.
"[Fly]." He floated into the air and flew off before anyone could stop him. "I count 26,000 so I should use a spell that'll wipe out all of them in one go." Stopped when he was directly above the army. "Some may survive, Mordred and the other should be able to take out the survivors."
He knew the perfect spell for this situation. Reaching into his item box he pulled out a small hourglass that would reduce the casting time to zero.
"Now let's get started." He took a deep breath and then activated the spell. "Your sins are many, your atrocities severe, your hunger endless, and your deaths necessary." This chant wasn't needed, he simply wanted to sound cool.
A single massive magic circles materialized above him, it glowed a beautiful sea blue color. Yet the power it emitted was immense. The beastmen and humans stared in awe at it, but then Naruto crushed the Hourglass.
"[Shattered Heaven]!"
A shadow suddenly covered the army of beastmen and the Dragon Kingdom Capital. Everyone looked up to see what could do such a thing. Weapons were dropped onto the ground, and many eyes widened as their minds tried to comprehend what they were seeing. A massive rock was coming down and it would no doubt destroy the kingdom, and the invading army. But Naruto wouldn't allow the Capital to be destroyed; after all he was trying to save it.
"What the hell?"
"This is a spell?"
"Is this the power of a god?"
Naruto used [Creation] to create a barrier that would shield the Capital from the damage. And just in time as the meteor hit the army with full force. Those smart enough to run weren't spared as the sheer size caused destruction to took them as well as those who'd been frozen because of fear.
"Ah, I'll have to make up something about being able to do…this." He pondered this as his enemies were crushed. "I could say that I have some kind of weapon that brought it down, a one use weapon that I can't get again." He nodded. "That should work…unless I think of something better."
5 Hours Later – Dragon Kingdom – Capital – Castle
She knew there was something special about him, but she hadn't been able to put her finger on it. Judging by how those from the Re-Estize Kingdom reacted they were unaware of his potential. If they were smart then he would've been offered actual citizenship or something. Fame was nice and all, but it only went so far. Then there were the supplies he had talked about, they'd arrived a few hours ago and Naruto had kept his word. So she would keep her word, and more.
"Kurama you kept your word and more, you who saved the Capital by single handedly annihilated the beastmen army that would've surely destroyed this city and fed on it's people, have earned more than I had promised you." The queen said to the kneeling adventurer. "I grant you the title of Superior Baron, a rank of nobility that hasn't existed until now; Mordred I give you the title of baroness."
The queen had literally made up a title just for him. While flattering it did show that she was clever. Giving him a title meant that he not only had citizenship but she now had a certain hold on him. She wanted him close and what's more he couldn't negotiate since this is what he asked for; citizenship. This also meant Mordred was trapped as well.
"We thank you for the titles and honor, Queen Draudillon Oriculus." Naruto said with a smile. 'Our names will hopefully spread even more…the Dragon Kingdom doesn't have an adventurers guild or anything.' – 'With this title I've gained the right to own land, and thankfully I have the [Create Fortress] spell!'
That's when he realized something very important. Nobody knew exactly where he'd gotten the supplies from.
"The master expects you to pay him back for all of this, although he's willing to take some of the debt off since you're family, and you've never let him down." Siegfried said.
The man's acting was good enough to fool the advisor who had heard him, and reported this to the queen. No doubt Queen Draudillon would want to know who this master was. She would take the bait, and he would have the answer. Hopefully.
2 Days Later – Dragon Kingdom – Capital – Naruto's Home
It was a nice home fit for nobility but it lacked a certain something, well it lacked a couple things like furniture so the living room was quite empty aside from the fireplace. There was a table in the dining room, the kitchen was decent enough, the office was nice, there was a decent sized trophy room that would probably stay empty for a while, and his bed room was almost as large as the one back home.
Truth be told it was bigger than he'd expected and of course he would need maids to tend to it while he was away. It would look strange to the other nobles if there were no servants. Then there was his lack of knowledge on how mannerisms, and customs. But learning that could wait, first he would have to get some maids in here.
A gate suddenly opened a few feet away from him and from it came 7 maids. Two dog eared girls, two humans, two rabbit eared girls, and one dark elf girl. The animal eared girls had visible tails. They were more cute than beautiful with various body types, nothing was to big or to small, and despite their appearance they were battle maids that were deadly. All of the maids in the base were. Their creator had a traumatic experience when he was young and believed that the maids should be able to fight off intruders.
"Lord Kurama, we have come as requested." The red head human maid said stepping forward. "This home shall be cleaned and your requested furniture brought in; we will be finished by days end." Her name was Umbriel.
"Thank you, I know this is last minute." He said. "Thank you for volunteering." With that said he left via the still open gate. Even though it was their job it was always nice to hear their masters words of gratitude.
The Next Day – Forest of Tob
A unpolluted sky was something that Allen and Hiiragi Utena hadn't seen on Earth. It was simply impossible for it to exist in modern day Japan. The two would enjoy the sight and oddly clean air, but they didn't recognize this place.
Hiiragi Utena or Magia Basier looked like she did IRL, a cute girl with short black hair and amber eyes. Aa a demon she has two horns upon her head, wings on her back that are above a corset, her chest region is exposed yet covered by star-shaped pasties, and form-fitting sleeves and pants covered by voluminous skirts extending down from her waist and back. Her fingernails are long and have black nail polish while four stars appear on her cheeks. Magia Basier was a demon specifically a special type of succubus with a unique Domination class.
"The servers shut down right?" Utena asked. "Why aren't we out?" there was nothing but grasslands around them. "Wait where are the others?" there had been others with them, but now they were nowhere to be seen.
"The clock hit zero so they should've shut down, and we should be logged out and everything." He said. "We're still our characters, but something feels off."
Allen or 15th was similar to Utena in the sense that his appearance matched his IRL face. The difference was his white hair was now waist length, but his silver-grey eyes, and his slightly pale skin remained the same. Going across his forehead were seven black cross like markings. He adorned a sleeveless kimono top, which has prominent dark lining emerging from its edges, and a white hakama, that is tied using a grey sash. A large piece of black fabric hangs from the center of the sash, with white metal accents at each corner. His race was nahobino with the unique Demon Summoning class, and the purchased Karma Switch class.
"My wings I can actually feel them like they're real, and these horns…" she touched them and found that they were coming out the side of her head. "Ahh they're real!"
"I can't open the menu, there might be something—"
[Adjusting YGGDRASIL born beings accordingly…applying The Shard of Heaven effect to members of Star Genesis…fallen god detected…Demi-fiend detected…Activating NW (New World) ancient defense mechanisms...]
There was silence that lasted for a few seconds, but felt like an eternity.
[Process Complete.]
"Allen what the hell was that voice?" Utena asked now concerned for her friends well being.
"I don't know but I think whatever it is wants to kill me." Allen answered. "Fallen god probably refers to my current race as a nahobino, and it must also know that I can become a demi-fiend." He sighed.
"Wait it knows that we're members of Star Genesis so doesn't that mean the others might be here to?" She was referring to the other three friends who had stayed until the end. 'Why didn't we just meet at the base?!'
"Yeah including Kurama." He rubbed his chin. "Knowing him he definitely stayed in the base…where we were supposed to meet, and not at that stupid shrine!"
Utena frowned as a sudden relaxation hit her. They were idiots they were all idiots for assuming the Shrine of The Light God was where Kurama wanted to meet. It was where they decided to become an actual guild so it had some significance. Apparently not enough for Kurama who wanted to meet in the massive dungeon that they considered their second home.
"He was still logged on so he might be here, but why did we get separated from the—"
"[Demon Ray]." Utena had been curious as to the possibility of them being able to use their magic, and it turns out that she was right. As a ray of blood red energy shot out from her hand and tore through everything in front of her. It ended after 10 seconds and revealed the destruction it was capable of. Needless to say it was a good thing there was nothing living in the direction that she'd aimed.
The two looked at each other for a few seconds before looking back at the destruction. They could use magic and if that was the case then it was likely their stats from YGGDRASIL carried over. They wondered if this was truly the case. In response to their questions, their stats appeared as an HUD that they could see.

Their stats had skyrocketed and they broken through the level cap set in place back in YGGDRASIL. Then there was the title, Celestial Being, it was strange. In fact they didn't remember titles being a thing in YGGDRASIL, but this wasn't the game. They could literally feel the power flowing through their bodies.
"This is insane." Utena said. "But it's kinda of exciting."
Allen was silent as he carefully considered their situation.
"Our human bodies might be in some sort of comatose state or they died, if they're comatose then…"
"We might become stuck in this world forever since going back to a rotting body would mean instant death, then there's the fact that the two of us live alone." Allen explained. "Well, my life was shit from the day I was born."
Orphans like him were looked down on as the burdens of society, and that didn't change even when he turned 18 and got an actual job. He was looked down on by almost everyone. Not in YGGDRASIL though and not by his friends. Star Genesis was full of misfits and outcasts who didn't fit in with the modern world.
"I don't mind not going back." He stated. "But I'll help you get back if that's what you want."
"Thanks, but I'm not sure it's a good idea for me to go back."
"Why?" he asked curiously.
"I'm kinda unemployed now and my girlfriend ran off with all my money, I can't even file a police report because I didn't find out until 5 days after she left; I should've listened to my parents when they said she was a piece of shit."
"I know how you feel, my relationships all ended badly." He said. "But you already know that since I literally tell you every time."
"That's what childhood friends are for." She said. "Thinking about how they hurt you it really pisses me off." Her expression turned into one of rage. "If I could I'd beat them to death with my bare hands, those disgusting humans!"
"Calm down what happened back then has taught me how to avoid toxic relationships." Allen said with a smile. "Now let's see if my magic works." He took a deep breath. "[Demon Summoning: Yatagarasu]."
A black magic circle manifested in front of him, it was made of symbols he didn't understand but he did recognize the pentagram in the middle. From it flew out a crow as black as night with three legs and red eyes. It was larger than his head.
"You've called upon my services after so my master, I am honored." The voice was deep yet sounded a bit threatening despite the crows honest joy. "How may I serve you and…" he looked to Utena. "Mistress Basier today?"
"Well we've been transported to an unknown world and we have no idea where we are so I'd really appreciate it if you could scout for any kind of settlement containing intelligent life."
"A simple task, shall I annihilate said life?" the demon asked.
"No!" Allen exclaimed. "We have questions and they might have answers, there's no need for violence." The crow nodded in acceptance before Allen sent him off.
"He called me Mistress Basier, Magia Basier…" she was both Utena Hiiragi and Magia Basier with the only difference being body. 'Maybe I should embrace this change, my life wasn't exactly worth back on Earth.'
Hell she couldn't afford a higher education, her job was dead end, and to be honest she really didn't like Earth. She wasn't her true self IRL only in YGGDRASIL among her friends. So why not take advantage of the situation?
"Utena?"
"Basier, from now on my name is Magia Basier!" she exclaimed. "This is a new start for us so let's abandon our past troubles and start anew as our real selves!" she smiled. "15th please let's—"
"I mostly agree, but I'll keep the name Allen." He said. "Don't suppose I can call you Utena when it's just the two of us."
The succubus was silent for a few seconds before answering.
"Only because it's you, but it's Magia Basier when we're around other people." She said.
'Well at least she's happy.' Allen silently said with relief. 'Becoming a demon might alter her personality so I should watch out for that.' – 'Could my personality become altered?'
It was a scary thought, parts of him changing because his species changed. Allen didn't have time to contemplate this as Yatagarasu flew down in front of them.
"You found something?"
"Yes, a fortress city full of humans." Yatagarasu said.
"If it's full of humans then I don't think we'll welcome considering how neither of us are human, it's best we avoid it for the time being." Allen said. "The last thing we want is to draw unnecessary attention to ourselves that'll result in needless violence."
"We'll there's also a small human settlement that way." The demon crow pointed the way with its wing. "The amount of humans there is very low, and they may have some information."
"You look the most human out of the two of us so it's best if you go." Magia Basier said. "I'll keep my distance, but I'll be close enough to come help if a fight breaks out." She said with newfound confidence.
While this was a good idea, Allen didn't like Basier having to hide simply because of her appearance. Granted he wished that she had more covering her chest area. It wasn't so much distracting as it was him worrying about someone getting the wrong idea about her. So perhaps it was best she keep out of sight until he could convince her to alter her outfit a little.
30 Minutes Later – Carne Village
Walking into the small village had been simple since there was no gate or defense of any kind. Allen wasn't surprised when they noticed him almost immediately. He heard many whisper about not only his appearance, but his unusual yet lovely clothes. Handsome, beautiful, angelic, these were the words they used to describe his appearance. A being that no mortal being was worthy to gaze upon.
"Is there a leader here that I can talk to?" Allen asked.
"T—That would be me."
A man with dark muscular skin and a face full of wrinkles, and a robust body forged through heavy manual labor and long experience, it can be seen that half his hair is white.
"Hello sir." Allen greeted. "I'm kind of new to this land and I'm in need of some information, I know there's a city near here but I don't exactly know anything about it."
Subtly he used the skill [Detect Debuff, it was a hunch but something told him that something was wrong. His eyes glowed for a moment and he was glad that he used it. Many of the people seemed to be diseased along with various conditions that the spell considered to be debuffs.
"Well, I can only tell you what I know." The older man said. "I must ask though, what is your name?"
"Allen my name is Allen." He said. "And I've noticed that many of the people here are afflicted with a sickness along with various other ailments." – "How long has this been going on?"
The Chief didn't how this stranger knew about the sickness that had already taken the lives of 7 people, but he knew so hiding it was pointless. And lying didn't seem like a good idea.
"It's been two weeks now and 7 are dead, we have no magic casters or medicine to help us fight this off."
'The flu and a bunch of other diseases that are easily treatable back on Earth even if you aren't rich, but if 7 people are dead then it's possible they haven't created antibiotics or anything like that.' Allen silently said. "[Widen Magic: Ancient Mother's Love]!"
A golden wave of magical energy spread out, covering the entire village and it's people. They to glowed for a few moments before the light died down. Injuries were healed completely and sickness was erased in an instant. Powerful spells like this were exclusive to the nahobino and demi-fiend race. Specialized tier spells that couldn't be used by any other race. The same applied to the summons.
"That's a 10th tier spell so it should've cured any diseases your people had, and healed anyone who was injures." He said. "Now about—" he suddenly froze as his senses went crazy.
Something was coming.
[Ancient NW (New World) defenses deployed]
That wasn't good.
[Annihilate the fallen god and demi-fiend]!
This definitely wasn't good.
Magia Basier and Yatagarasu landed next to him.
"Master something is coming!" the demon crow said with worry. "The world means to kill—" before anything else could be said their vision became pure white, and the humans were knocked back by a violent beam of holy magic that came from the sky and hit Allen. Magia Basier's eyes widened in horror at the sight while Yatagarasu began panicking.
Allen stood unmoving a single inch. He felt no pain in the least bit in fact it was more akin to being wrapped in a warm blanket. Needless to say he took no damage as his nahobino form was immune to holy magic attacks. After 12 seconds the attack ended revealing that he was completely unharmed.
"You—you're alright!" Magia Basier let out a sigh of relief as did Yatagarasu.
"Immunity to holy attacks remember?"
"Oh…I completely forgot about that." She said before looking sky. When she did her eyes widened at what she saw. A swirling storm made up on angels that she recognized. Hundreds of Archangel Flames and Principality Observations, and five Dominion Authorities. But the one that stood out was the one in the white robe and golden mask with a golden halo over its head. In its left hand was a golden sword. That one was the leader.
"That's a lot on angels." Allen said. 'They're here to fight that much they've made clear.' He looked to the humans who had gotten up and were staring at the sky in horror and amazement. "Evacuate, everyone get out of here if you don't want to die!" he yelled. "Get as far away as you can!"
They didn't have to be told twice as they helped each other move as they fled the village. Magia Basier didn't pay much attention to the fleeing humans, her focus was the horde of angels above them. Allen was immune to holy magic, but she only had a high resistance to it. She could still be hurt.
The more human angel floated down until he was at their level, but his feet never touched the ground.
"Nahobino you have no place in this world." He said.
"No place in this world?" Allen asked. "Look I'm originally—"
"I know your origin both of your origins." He said glancing to Magia Basier for a second before looking back to Allen. "I do not care." – "I know your past I've been watching you, making sure you don't become a threat to a world that no longer has any defense against your kind." His voice sounded neutral. "Now here you stand as something much worse, something vile, and I must destroy you just as I should've done all those years ago!"
The angels speed was incredible by all means, and his strength surpassed all of the 13 heroes. His blade tore through Allen's flesh like a knife cutting into partially melted butter. At least that's what he thought was going to happen. Instead Allen caught the blade with his pinkie and index finger.
"You swing pretty slow." Allen said before snatching the sword away. "[Heavy Blow]!" with a massive amount of force he swung the blade downward, cutting the angel in half. Killing him instantly. This also sent forth a shockwave that tore through the ground and buildings in front of him. It was a good thing they were empty.
"[Heavy Blow]…you don't primarily use spells like Kurama?"
"No, we both can use martial skills because of our classes like Blade Master and Master Fighter." Allen stated. "We should discuss that later since there's an army of angels coming this way." He sounded calm but it was clear he was still trying to process the fact that the angel had tried to kill him.
"[Chaotic Will]!"
This was a Super-Tier skill exclusive to his Nahobino form. After 10 seconds a wave of blood red and black energy shot out from his body, yet it was completely silent despite being visible.
Magia Basier stared in shock as the attack hit the now descending storm of angels that planned to kill Allen. Their bodies were ripped apart on contact with their bodies being turned to atoms afterwards. This was an instant death skill whose effectiveness relied of three things. Level, special stat, and the magical attack stat. In a normal situation there was a 89% chance of it working but this wasn't a normal situation, and the percentage was 100% with no room for failure.
The sky was clear within the span of 10 seconds and all that remained was the trio, and the humans who'd fled. The latter had witnessed the complete annihilation of the angels and believed that the man who healed them must've been something beyond human understanding. After all the only one with that kind of power from what they believed in was the Six Great Gods.
Seven YGGDRASIL players were now in the NW.
Chapter 5 End
