Eternal Void Overlord Chapter 1
Hello everyone, my name is Darklord331 and today we are bringing you a new story made by me and my fellow friend Light He'arth/Xarazechi.
Light/Xara: Yo.
And for this story, be prepared cause this one WILL be a surprise. The story we made… is a worm story(Made by Wildbrow), the darkest fandom to be exact. A world that death is so common, corruption is everywhere and entities that could destroy the entire world fuck even alien gods as well, a world equivalent to fate/stay.
Light/Xara: I think the one universe that could beat them is Kingdom Hearts, Keybladers are OP. That and the DC/Marvel universes.
Trust me I know but there are people who have powers literally on a conception level, one has a power that she cannot even be touched or harmed, literally. Siberian, a furry that commits genocide on a daily basis and never gets a single scratch.
Light/Xara: … Would it work if the power can bypass it and steal the heart? … Okay, we're starting to get off topic.
Yeah anyway, this one is gonna be the post golden morning where one of the worlds Scion, the golden man is destroyed and few of its tenants get transported into another world, an isekai world you could say. One that isn't royally fucked beyond what Worm was.
Light/Xara: Yep.
Welp, let's not keep you guys waiting. Yo, can you do the disclaimer?
Light/Xara: Right. Worm and Overlord do not belong to us. Just our own ideas and OCs if we have any. That good?
Yes, now onto the chapter!

Darkness.
There's literally darkness everywhere.
Everywhere I look, it's pitch black. I can't see, I can't hear, I can't even move.
What the hell is this? What is this place? Why am I here? What am I doing?
Wait, wait, wait, hold on. It's coming back to me, I think I… remember. The last thing I saw was the golden man, shining down on Brooklyn Bay and he just waved his hand.
Oh shit am I…. dead?
If I am, how am I still here then?
Is this, hell or something? What did I do to deserve this? Why? Was me being dead not good enough when every fucking people I know is dead? Killed by the Golden man who just walked in and blasted the entire city?
I didn't get to finish highschool, didn't try to stand up against those bullies to Taylor, make my parents proud of me for accomplishing my education, didn't apologize to those people I insulted in the PHO
I DIDN'T EVEN GET TO FUCKING BE IN THE YGGDRASIL GAME BEFORE IT CLOSES ENTIRELY!
…Dammit, I miss them, everyone, my family, my friends, everyone in Ainz Ooal Goal. I just want to say something to them, one….last…time…..

[Avatar Body Found]
[Void Cowboy]
[Archmage of nothingness]
What the hell is going on!?
Just then I saw something brightening, flashing its light before nearly blinding me and before I felt something, I heard a voice.
'Oh mage of nothingness, He who has peared through the void, please, I beg of you. Please restore the peace that has been long forgotten.'
….Huh, what do you mean by-
WHOOSH!
BANG!
(Unknown)
In the sparkling , a boy laid down on the ground. Not moving an inch before he soon groans. He started to sit up, holding his head in pain. "Where… Where the hell am I…?"
He looked around. "... What is this place or something? Did I get transported into another world?"
Putting his hand over a rock while trying to get a better view of his surrounding, though as he did, he noticed at the corner of his eyes that his hand was nearly gray and has long red sharp fingernails.
"What in the?!"
Looking down on his body, he noticed that he wasn't wearing his previous clothes. "What the hell am I wearing?!"
He pulled the neck of the collar of the shirt, seeing it looked like dark robes or something. "Okay, what the hell is going on!? Can I get some answers!?"
He saw that he was in black and red getup, a tattered black cloak on his back. A skintight back shirt, black pants with a red stripe on the sides and a black belt holding it up.
[Emotion sparking]
[Void tranquility activate]
Dark/Purple smoke appeared and wisped off of him and all of a sudden felt calmness, no anger, rage or any scary thoughts. As if it all went away. "... What the heck was that…?" he asked, calm, but still wondering what was going on.
"Okay, first order of business, I need to know where the fuck am I, the sooner I know where the hell am I, the better I can-"
"WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"GODDAMMIT YOU DAMN USELESS GODDESS! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAVE YOU!"
"... Okay, sounds like someone is in trouble," He muttered. "Should I go and see what's up and try to help? I don't even know my own powers and new form…fuck it." Shaking his head before putting his left hand in front of him. "If I'm in my game character which means… [Abyssal Ward]."
A black/purple energy converge around the palm of his hand, forming around before expanding into a swirling corridor.
He looked at the swirling corridor for a few minutes before grinning. "Perhaps it's the perfect chance to test out my abilities." he said before entering the void corridor.
(Just a few minutes ago)
"Ah, the first week of my new Isekai life where I can fulfill my lifelong dream of spending in the fantasy world, become a super dober hero, and SLEEP ON THE BARN AND LIVE WITH THE LIFE TIME LONG OF DEBTS!" A spiky chestnut-brown hair and green-brown eyed boy, wearing a green tracksuit and slip-on sneakers. He was shouting at his companion who was a light blue hair and eyed woman, wearing sleeveless dark-blue vest with white trimmings, a short dark blue miniskirt, a green bow around her chest with a blue gem in the middle, a translucent purple underskirt, and detached white sleeves with blue and golden trimmings. She wears thigh-high blue heeled boots over white stockings with blue trimmings.
"NOOOOOOOO!" The woman shouted in dismay while the boy dragged her from the scarf, walking to a big green biome mini mountain plain. "I DON'T WANNA DO THIS QUEST! I DON'T WANNA!"
"You should've thought about that BEFORE USING OUR MONEY ON ALCOHOL! And now we have to pay back the guild the money you had for your tab! Which is close to a million!" The boy shouted with frustration. "We could've used the money we had to buy a room for a couple nights but noooo, you had to spend it all due to a special wine drink you bought that tasted like pineapple!"
"But I need my Bubbly!" she shouted. "I am a Goddess, and deserve everything!"
"Deserve everything my ass!" The boy, Kazuma shouted at the Goddess, Aqua while pointing at her. "We wouldn't have to hunt down frogs for a week straight if we're not broke, poor and homeless!"
"And you should be doing my bidding like the good little human you are! It's your fault I was sent here with you in the first place!" Aquas shouted. She then looked smug and added, "So bow and grovel for my forgiveness~!"
"Oh sure I can, oh great powerful goddess~. Please forgive this lowly human for committing a sin."
"Hmph! I knew you were-"
"MY ASS!" He suddenly shouted at her, enlarging his head. "If you don't do something right now, I swear I'll leave you here with all these frogs all by yourself while I sit back and watch."
"You're the one who chose me as their boon! It's your fault that you couldn't pick! And you're the useless one! You're so useless your family laughed at your death, remember~!"
Kazuma looked at Aqua with a scrunched face, before grabbing her at the shoulder with a calm look on his face. "You know…I was gonna help out since I feel generous but now. I have something else in mind." He said to her before grabbing her and lifting over his head with an evil smile on his face.
"WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WAIT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
"HEY FROGS! IT'S LUNCHTIME!" he shouted at them before throwing her towards the frogs.
"WAAAAAAAHHHHHH!"
"AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
WHACK!
Time suddenly froze when Aqua had a big pink tongue wrapped around her waist with a bafflement expression while Kazuma also froze his expression, still smiling as the giant frog had opened its mouth and latched onto Aqua before retracting its tongue and nearly swallowing her.
"WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!"
"GODDAMMIT YOU DAMN USELESS GODDESS! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO SAVE YOU!" Kazuma said while running towards her with a sword on his hand.
"SOMEONE HELP ME!" Aqua shouted, crying big blobby tears. Aqua was being brought in to be eaten until-
"[Abyssal Void Scythe!]" the tongue was cut off as someone appeared from a void portal, wielding a scythe of red and black energy. The frog was split in half as Aqua yelped in shock, falling to the ground. "[Black Void Spear!]" The man then shouted, summoning a black spear and shot it right through the frog, killing it.
"Uhhhh." Kazuma was stunned and couldn't even speak due to witnessing someone killing those frogs in an instant.
"Sorry for jumping in to take your kill," he said while walking towards them. "If it helps I'll let you take the rewards."
"Uhhhhh, th-thanks I guess and it's not a problem." Kazuma hesitantly said to him. "Wh-...who are you?"
"Names Greg, Greg Veder." Greg introduced himself to Kazuma.
"Greg…you wouldn't happen to be an American wouldn't you?"
"Yup and your Japanese aren't you? What's your name?"
"Uh, Kazuma Sato," he answered.
"Kazuma Sato huh."
"Hey, are you two ignoring me?" Aqua said to the two boys. She was about to say something before a shadow loomed over her, making her stiff and slowly looked around and saw a giant frog croaking at her as Aqua screams.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
She runs away in panic while the frog pursues her.
"So Kazuma-"
"HELP ME!"
"What are you doing here in the middle of the plains?" Greg asked Kazuma.
"Oh, we're here due to a quest which was killing the frogs that are invading this biome."
"ARE YOU TWO BLIND OR SOMETHING?!"
"Hunting frogs, from the way your tone is, you're not liking this one bit at all."
"No." Kazuma crossed his arms while having a frustrated expression. "I wouldn't be here if that useless goddess hadn't used all our money!"
"Wait, that girl is actually a goddess?" Grey asked, shocked. "She seems more like a rich bratty girl in over her head."
"WHAT THE HELL YOU SAY TO ME?!"
"Oh believe me, she's much worse than you can imagine, having to deal with her around and guess what, only one week we've been here and we're still homeless cause she spent all our money to buy some limited edition drink, now we're stuck in debt with the tavern. That's why I've been doing this quest with her for a week."
"Damn bro, you had it rough."
"And she's my boon for being reincarnated here, and I thought she'd be useful, but as you can see…"
"ARE YOU TWO STANDING AROUND OR WHA-"
WHACK!
GULP!
The frog managed to catch Aqua and swallowed her while croaking.
"...Yeah I get your point. Haven't you heard the term from Pokemon of don't choose a water type of Pokemon?"
"If I knew and remembered that I would've chosen something else."
"Should we help her now, or…?"
"Just leave her be, she'll be out in 3…. 2….. 1."
SPLASH!
"KAZUMAAAAAAAA!" Aqua shouted at Kazuma while holding the frog's mouth both jaws from completely devouring her.
"You can just come back and watch the show."
"ARE YOU TWO JUST GONNA SIT BACK AND WATCH?!"
"... Eh, I've got nothing better to do." Greg said while shrugging his shoulders.
"YOU TRAAAIIITTTOOOOOORRRRR!"
"Okay, joking aside, we should help her, you are on a mission to kill these beasts," Greg stated, sighing. "I am in the mood for roast frog anyways, Freich Quazzen Style."
"You cook?" Kazuma asked, surprised.
"Not really, well nothing fancy anyways, I just wanted to sound cool. Did it work?" Greg asked his fellow world traveler.
"...Dick."
"KAAZZUMMMMAAAAAA!"
CHOMP!
"... You think she's learned her lesson?"
"... I say give her a few more seconds."
"... You are not going to really let her get eaten, are you? If she is sent back to her domain, she might actually curse you if she can do that. I feel like she would be petty enough to do just that."
"She's already petty about her alcohol. One moment she's angry and the next she'll forget what happens, literally. Happened three times."
"Fair enough,"
"...(SIGH)! Fine, she's learned her lesson, get her out."
Greg summoned another void spear and sent it flying at the toad, killing it. Freeing Aqua from the frog…though covered in frog slime. She looks almost dead if her legs weren't twitching.
"Question, how many frogs do you need to kill?" Greg asked Kazuma while being casual.
"Well with the mission and the amount of reward me and Aqua get, we need to kill about…. 50 frogs to cover up the debts." Kazuma answered Greg.
"50 frogs huh?" Greg looked down at his hand as it pulsed with void energy. "Then I guess this is the perfect opportunity, say. How about you let me do this quest for you."
"Are you sure about that?"
"Got nothing better to do, so why not. Also give me a chance to test out my new powers~"
"Some people get all the luck," Kazuma grumbled.
"It won't take a moment." Greg said before walking towards the frogs nest while rolling his shoulder.
(Adventures inn)
"Thanks again for this." Kazuma thanked Greg. "You have no idea how much I've grinded frogs."
"Hey, if we're going to be party members, I got to help the team," Grey stated, smirking. "By the way, what's your class, if you're an adventurer and all?"
Kazuma sighs, looking annoyed. "I'm a low class Adventure class…"
"... And that's bad because?" Grey asked, not sure why that is.
"It's a class that barely has any sort of those skills of its own. It allows me to learn any sort of skills but other than that, it's a class no one wants. And the worst part is, the skills are barely as strong as the original."
"... But that sounds useful, because you'll be able to learn skills that other classes can't, and wouldn't you be able to keep them if you change classes after working on leveling up?" Grey asked, thinking that it was a good Class to learn powers, like Multiclassing in D&D, get the right combination and you have a beast of a character.
"If that was the case, the problem is barely anyone here is strong and this is a beginning town. The only way I could learn strong skills is if someone teaches me. Other than that, I'm screwed." Kazuma said, lowering his head. "It doesn't help that my reputation here is already soured due to a certain someone already made a commotion with the bar!" he said while looking at Aqua who was already clearly drunk.
"... Wait, you saw me using a few of my skills, right?"
"Look how much skill points they cost." Kazuma said, taking out his adventure card and showing it to Greg.
[Abyssal Ward] 550 Points
[Abyssal Void Scythe] 500 Points
[Black Void Spear] 500 Points
Greg winced, seeing the cost. "Ouch, didn't think the lower level Void spells would be that much… I could show other lower level spells that aren't from the void. … Also, could I give people my void weapons…?" He mutered the last part, thinking of ways to try and help Kazuma. He then saw his luck stats. "Hey, you have great luck, why don't you haver like trickster class, or magic gambler class?"
"They say luck is useless…"
"... What idiot said that…? Luck is where you get good item drops or find hidden rooms in a dungeon… Hell, even gambling or luck based skills…" Grey said flatly.
"Fair point, other than that, I'm literally on rock bottom here." Kazuma said while lowering his head.
"I'll be honest, I'm surprised your Int is so low, you actually seem like a smart and crafty individual, like an Artificer," Greg stated.
"...Would it help if I was a former NEET back home?" Kazuma hesitantly said to Greg.
"Ah, a fellow gamer I see," Greg said, smiling. "I was an avid gamer myself back home~"
Kazuma stared at Greg for a second before shedding a tear. "I never thought I would get to see another person who agrees with me."
"But again, if you seem to be smart about adventuring, shouldn't your Int and Wis be higher?" Greg asked, getting back on topic before the two could go off on a gaming geek debate. "So either you're just bad at game-"
"HEY!" Kazuma shouted in outrage.
"-or someone is screwing with you and is trying to make sure you fail so Aqua doesn't go back to heaven. … And with how she acts… I'm not surprised they dropped her off the first chance they could… if she bothers you this badly after just a week, how do the other gods feel having to work with her for eons?"
"... THEY USED ME AS A SCAPEGOAT TO GET RID OF THIS USELESS GODDESS FROM HEAVEN!?" Kazuma shouted, pissed off.
"If I'm completely honest….yes."
Kazuma slammed his head on the table, tears running down his face, anime style. "I thought having high Luck should make things easier, not harder…"
"You should've figured in most games Gods can't be really trusted cause they'll constantly screw your ass, a lot."
Kazuma gave him a flat look. "I know that… I have one right next to me… doing that very sensario with the booz…"
Greg leaned over to him, smirking. "Oh, that's just the cheap swill I got her~ Punishment for her actions~"
"Sunnavbitch, I like you already."
"In any case, I think I'll stick around with you guys." Greg said to Kazuma while taking a bite of his meal. "I only killed at least 43 frogs, only seven more then you'll be free of this debt."
"That is if this useless goddess stops spending our money."
"We just need to use her habit against her," Greg stated. "Like I just did, good behavior, give her the good stuff, bad behavior, the bad stuff. It'll want her to want to be good to get her Bubbly~"
"Oh, like training a dog~?" Kazuma asked, smirking.
"Yup."
"...Why didn't I think of that before?"
"So irritated with her, that it impaired your thought processes?" Greg suggested.
"...Yeah that's probably the reason why."
"So how did you get here?"
"Oh uhhhhh, you see." Kazuma hesitantly said while rubbing the back of his head with a nervous expression. "Can you promise that you won't laugh?"
"Dude, you could tell me. It's not like something the worse thing could ha-"
(Later)
"..."
"..."
Greg stayed silent after hearing how Kazuma got here in this fantasy world while Kazuma had a slight frown on his face as if he could tell if Greg was either disappointed or finds it ridiculous of how he got here in this world.
"...So let me get this straight." Greg slowly speaks to Kazuma. "After being months in your room for god knows how long, you decided to go out for once in your life, bought a game and saw a girl was in danger and thought she was gonna get hit by a truck."
"Uh huh."
"Which turned out to be…..a tractor…..and you died of a heart attack because of all the stress and worries that caused your heart to stop."
"Yeah."
"And then everyone laughed at you because not only did you die of a heart attack but landed on a cow manure which smelled so badly they had to scrub off your body for a week for the smell to go away."
"That… about it."
Greg puit a hand on his shoulder. "Damn man just damn…. I've heard people dying in a ridiculous way but this takes out the notch. Brother, how is your luck so good, but also so bad at the same time? Honestly, your family sounds like they're real assholes, and so is everyone in your town. … That's if Aqua wasn't lying about how you actually died and did it to be vindictive."
"She showed me proof of my death." Kazuma had his head over the table. "Even in death, I can't remove the humiliation I've gone through."
"Well, you have my condolences, at least your's wasn't as horrible as mine."
"...I feel like I shouldn't ask but I should." Kazuma said to Greg. "You know what, forget it. At least you didn't laugh at how I died."
"Hey, you're a good guy, and we're friends now," Greg said, smiling.
"Well, it's getting late now." Kazuma said, seeing that the sun was setting. Getting up from his seat. "I'm off to head towards the barn…cause that's where I sleep…next to piles of shit whenever I wake up."
"I might be able to make a campsite," Greg said, seeing if he had his inventory or a [Create Greater item] spell.
"... You are broken… you know that…?" Kazuma asked, giving him a flat look, again.
"Sue me, I was put into a body of my game avatar when my whole body was completely destroyed."
"... I'm sorry, WHAT!?" Kazuma shouted in shock.
"Let's talk about that later and get to tomorrow alright?"
"...Fine, but this isn't over."
"Not saying it is," Greg said, finding the spell he was looking for. "Now, want to learn a useful camping spell to make a Shelter? Making anddestroying it after you're done?"
"You know what I'm not gonna ask." Kazuma said before getting up from his seat before walking towards the exit while dragging Aqua from her leg.
"Wise decision."
Timeskip - One day later
Soon after they rested up for the day (Which Kazuma nearly thanked the gods-scratch that thanked Greg while pronouncing they could kiss his ass….right before a thunder struck him and knocked him out), Greg decided to do some shopping around the town since this place was new to him and wanting to get used to around his surroundings.
"Hopefully I can get Kazuma and Aqua some weapons to fight with…" Greg muttered, looking for either blacksmiths or weapon shops. "They need starting equipment. Kazuma strikes me as a sword lover, while Aqua seems to be a spear/trident kind of woman… I might spin a tale saying the trident is a weak water manipulation conduit so she doesn't just sell it off…"
Shaking his head before walking past the shops. "I think I'll get their weapons later." He said to himself.
Just as he was about to pass by a shop, he stopped for a moment before walking backwards and saw an unusual shop ahead of him which literally said 'Wiz's shop.' seems kinda unoriginal. Taking a quick look at their products before reading one of the item's descriptions.
Beast-Attracting Potion
[Upon drinking will attract monsters looking like beasts that will relentlessly attack]
"Hmmmmm, seems kinda useful and yet dangerous…. but it's also a good grinding tool."
Punishment Blade
[A curse blade that's cursed to shock the wielder every time it hits an opponent]
"... Why would anyone willingly buy and use something like that? It seems like a dentroment… Okay, maybe to work on pain tolerance but still…" Greg muttered under his breath before shrugging his shoulders.
"Screw it, let's see what they have inside." Greg said before entering the shop.
There was the chime of a bell when he opened the door and a very attractive brown haired woman appeared, carrying a box. "Welcome to my shop, how may I heeeeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEELP!" She then tripped on the rug on the floor, sending the box flying at Greg, who caught it and the shopkeeper, Tobey Maguire Spider-Man style, meaning her held her in one arm, wile he caught the box with one hand and caught everything that was in the box back in it, without breaking anything.
"Are you okay ma'am?" Greg asked, worried for the woman, a little surprised he actually did that.
"Yeah, I'm alright thanks for the save missttteeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr." The woman's eyes widened when she saw Greg while having a stunned look on her face.
"Ms? You alright."
"V-v-v-v-v-v-v-" She stuttered in her sentence as her expression slowly turned to terror. "V-v-v-v-v-v-"
"You ok?"
"V…vvvvvvvvoid, void walker." The woman said while completely frozen in terror.
Greg raised an eyebrow at her, waving his hand at her face, after putting the box down carefully. "Ma'am, are you feeling okay, you seem cold," Greg said, now feeling how cold the woman was. She wasn't responding as she stood still like a statue. "Hello?"
Poking her on her forehead, she slowly fell backwards and slammed the floor.
Greg sighs in disappointment. "So much for the first introduction. Oh! Some health and mana potions." Greg spotted some potions lying around, grabbing a few before placing them in his [Abyss ward]. "I'll take these and here's the money. Hope it's enough to cover the expenses." Greg said to the fainted woman before starting to leave the shop. He did see a chair in the corner of the shop, so he picked her up and placed her on it so no one would get any wrong ideas before he left, not wanting people to think he attacked her. After that he left the shop.
(Adventurer's Guild)
"Dude…. Is this for real?"
"I know, I knew you were gonna say that. It was a dumb idea, shouldn't have lsiten to this useless goddess idea."
"Hey! Who are you calling useless!?"
Right after Greg left the shop, he went back to the adventurer's guild to meet up with Kazuma and Aqua whom he was lucky to arrive before she could buy a single drink. He didn't forget to give Kazuma and Aqua's weapons he got from the blacksmith.
When Aqua told him of their recruitment which she posted at the poster board, taking a good look at it. Which explains their current situation.
"Oh I'm sorry, but have you looked at what you've written on the poster board?!" Kazuma shouted at Aqua who held her trident.
"So what? It should gain some attention to join my group."
"Your group? You damn idiot! How do you expect people to join our group when it literally says 'Archmage, warrior crusader, high level required only.'?!"
"Yeah I'm with Kazuma there Aqua. Is that supposed to even work when we're in a beginner's town?" Greg asked. But right after he said that, he seemed to sense two people approaching, one further from the other.
"You three!" called out a voice, getting their attention. They were a young girl in red with red eyes, a witches hat and an eyepatch "Are you the ones who posted this flier!?"
"Uhhhhhh." Kazuma struggled to say something while Aqua had a smug look on her face. "She did." Kazuma pointed at her.
The girl then did a dramatic pose. "Then you are in luck, for I, Meguman of the Archmage of the Crimson Demon Clan, have found you worthy of joining her on her journey~!"
"... Oh god she's a Chunabun…" Kazuma said, shocked.
"Shit." Greg groaned out in annoyance. "Is she for real?"
"Don't underestimate her, you two! I've heard that the Crimson Demon Clan has a powerful magical reserve which is almost as high as a highclass mages from birth and they have excellent amount control of magic." Aqua said to the two boys.
"Really?" Greg raised his eyebrow in surprise.
"Holy cow, she has that much magic in her?" Kazuma asked in shock.
"Hmhmhmhmhmhm! Praise me more mortals! You should be glad you are within my presence and my attention!"
"U-Uh e-excuse me… I-I'd like to join you as well," came a timid voice, making the four see a girl that looked like the other girl, just a little more… developed, and skittish. She would normally be too shy to talk to anyone, but the man in black seemed to call out to her for some reason.
"Yunyun!?" Meguna shouted in shock and a bit of annoyance. "What are you doing here!? I told you to wait at the frog plains!"
"I did, I-I waited for 3 days for you there and I was worried that you might get h-hurt." Yunyun said to Megumin. "A-and why are you wearing an eyepatch for?"
Both Greg and Kazuma stared at Yunyun before blankly staring at Megumin which she shivered as if she was being seen as a piece of shit. "W-What are those looks for…!?" Megumin shouted, trying to act brave.
"... You're lying, you left her there on purpose," Greg stated, sensing that she was lying.
"I-I did no such thing!"
"Oh yeah, should I ask what's with the eyepatch?" Kazuma also asked Megumin.
"It's a powerful magical seal that prevents my magic from overflowing, if I release it then you will all be pressured by the amount of magical energy I have." Megumin proudly says to the both unamused boys there.
"..."
"..."
"...Oh alright." In the end she couldn't handle the intense stare the boy's were giving her. "It just looked cool on me."
"...Dumbass." Greg insulted Megumin in a plain tone.
"Hey! Who are you calling a dumba-OW! OW! HEY! HEY! HEY!" Megumin was about to respond to Greg before Kazuma pulled her eye path and caused her ear and head to be in pain. "WATCH WHAT YOUR DOING WITH MY EYEPATCH!"
"P-Please don't hurt Megumin!" Yunyun pleaded to the two of them. "I-I'm sure she had her reasons for doing what she did."
"She left you in the middle of a field of giant carnivorous frogs," Greg pointed out. "It better be a good explanation."
"PLEASE STOP PULLING MY EYEPATCH!"
"Though unfortunately not many people recruit the Crimson Demon 'cause of their chunabun attitude which is passed through genetically on their clan." Aqua responded to them.
"An entire clan full of chunabun? This is just perfect." Greg sarcastically said to them.
"Not the worst thing could happen." Kazuma said to Greg before letting go of the eyepatch which hit Megumin's eye.
"AAAHHHH! MY EYE!"
"... I'm not like that…" Yunyjn said, depressed. "... It… made me an outcast in the clan… even though I'm the-" she quickly stopped what she was saying and looked away.
"... We take Yunyun?" Kazuma asked Greg.
"We take Yunyun," Greg agreed.
"Oi!" Megumin shouted, angered that she was being looked over for her revival. "I'm the strongest in my clan! I learned the ultimate spell, Explosion!"
"... Wait, you are a heavy Artillery mage?" Greg asked. "Okay, what can you do Yunyun?"
"I-I use mostly regular spells, but I can fuse them together to make new effects," Yunyun said nervously.
Greg's eyes shot open. "Holy crap, she is a Cantrip Cloak without the Cloak itself."
"I-Its nothing much." Yunyun muttered under her breath.
"Are you ignoring me?!"
Both Kazuma and Greg groan under their breath while Greg puts his hand over his forehead in annoyance. "Fine, we'll let you in our group as well."
"HUZZAH!"
"But we'll decide if you're worth recruiting when we see your explosion spell."
Megumin posed again, smirking. "Then I shall show you the amazing and fearsome might of the greatest magic of them all~!"
Aqua cheered. "Allright, we have two powerful members~! I'm a genius~!"
"Yeah, well a broken clock is right twice a day," Kazuma shot back.
"What's that supposed to mean!?" Aqua shouted, growling at him.
"Okay you two, we have a few more frogs we need to kill for a quest." Greg stated. "We'll see what you can do, and see if you have what it takes to join our party."
"I-I'll do my best," Yunyun said, nervously.
(Frogs biome)
"Alright, we're here." Greg said to the group.
"That teleportation spell of yours is amazing," Yunyun said in awe. "Where did you learn that~?"
Kazuma had a teasing smile. "Seems you have a fan."
Megumin huffed. "That is nothing, watch as I show you what true magic is~!"
"Oh? Then show us chunabun brat."
"Don't call me a brat you Elf looking Wannabe!" Megumin shouted at him.
"... Okay, I'll admit that was a good comeback…" Greg muttered at the dis.
Megumin then spotted a frog that wasn't paying attention. "Now watch as I show my power!" Just then a giant red magic circle appeared under her. "Crimson soul of heat and destruction, I call upon you to reduce my enemies back to the nothingness they came from. Let my burning passion ignite thyself. I call upon you! Explosion!"
The frog noticed the crowd, but it was too late. For under it was the same circle and then-
KRA-BOOM!
A giant ass dome of fire and heat erupted from where the frog was, making Kazuma and Greg's jaws drop. It was around a football field in diameter, all around.
After it stopped, there was nothing but a creator where everything once was.
"... Okay… I'm actually impressed…" Greg said in slack jawed shock.
"Holy….crap! This is like an overkill!" Kazuma said in amazement.
"No shit sherlock. The amount of magic from that spell, I think it's enough to fatally injure level 65 players."
"Shit really?!"
"Okay, we take both of them, Megumin will be our Heavy Fire Spell Power while Yunyun will be our normal spellcraft-" Greg stopped when he saw Megumin flat on the ground. "... Uh… Megumin… why are you on the ground…?"
"... Well… you see… Explosion is so powerful that it uses up all my mana, leaving me drained for the whole day…" Megumin explained, a bit nervously.
"... You have got to be kidding me." Kazuma said while groaning. They heard heavy stomps, they saw multiple frogs jumping towards them while croaking before one of them latched onto Megumin, and Aqua(Which someone camouflage with the green grass and hid behind them)
"I am unable to move, please save me." She weakly said before both Aqua and Megumin were pulled into the frog's mouth.
"I CHANGE MY MIND SHE'S WORTHLESS! GODDAMMIT ALL!" Kazuma shouted at Megumin.
Greg sighs for a bit before interlocking his hands and cracking them forward. "Give me a moment to handle them, I'll deal with this." He said before dashing towards the frogs while conjuring and molding the void energy into somewhat of a stick.
SHINK!
SHINK!
SHINK!
SHINK!
SHINK!
SHINK!
Appearing behind the frogs with his legs crouched and head lowered while uttering his spell.
"[Mid tier skill: Silent Nothingness]"
Instantly the frogs were cut to pieces.
"Uh… W-Wasn't I supposed to show my skills?" Yunyun asked, seeing that there was no frogs for her to fight now.
"Oh don't worry Yunyun, we already planned on having you as a group." Greg said to Yunyun while appearing before them(Which Kazuma was used to but still muttered under his breath 'having an OP friend is not that bad, still a damn showoff'). "Though as for her." Greg tilted his head to Megumin's slimy fallen figure.
"Yeah she's worthless… but since she's an artillery mage, we'll give her a chance." Kazuma said while sighing.
"Surprised that you're allowing her to join the party."
"The more the merrier, plus I have to admit, her explosion was cool."
"Heh…..praise me more….stupid perverted bastard."
"WHO ARE YOU CALLING A PERVERT BASTARD YOU DAMN EXPLOSIVE LOLI!" Kazuma shouted. "On second thought, I changed my mind. Let's leave her here for three days like she did to Yunyun."
"Wait…..don't….leave me…..here….alone…" Megumin begged, grabbing Kazuma's leg weakly.
"YYyeeeahhhhh, no." Kazuma said to Megumin while lifting his leg away from her and started to leave.
"Please….."
"... Screw it Kazuma, get her up." Greg sighs and shakes his head. "I know I'm gonna regret this but we can't leave her alone."
"Whatever you say dud-"
BOOM!
"Huh?! What the?" When Kazuma grabbed Megumin, the earth suddenly shook around like an earthquake. "What the hell is that?!"
"Uh oh." Aqua widened her eyes in worry when she saw frogs' blood all flowed at each other, forming a giant blood puddle. "Guys, we need to get out of here!" She said while ignoring the fact she's covered in frog slime.
"Aqua, what the hell is this?" Greg asked Aqua while the blood puddle began to ripple around.
"I….forgot to mention that the frogs aren't just mindless beasts, they are under a king which they serve like an ant colony but with frogs in it." Aqua began to explain while something was emerging from the blood puddle. "Whenever it feels its subjects in danger, it will only come when there is enough blood of its subjects spilled. Rarely does it happen, it's like a special game event where you deal with…..a raid boss."
Soon a giant figure emerged from the blood puddle and from it was A giant pure black frog with blood red spots over its body that was ten times the size of a normal giant frog, with a crown on its head, made of pure gold with diamonds in the shape of flies on it.
"... Fuck me." Kazuma said, speaking in an incredulous tone.
"... Well, if anything, this seems right for a first level boss monster," Greg said, looking on the positive side.
"Did I forget to mention that the frog king is almost as strong as level 50, surpassing/on par with the rookie killer?"
"Oh hell no, I ain't fighting that thing!" Kazuma said while pointing at the frog. "That's a freaking poisonous frog! One touch and I'm dead!"
CRRRROOOAAAAAAKKKK!
The frog king croaked out loud while causing the ground to rumble.
"It's too late, he's already identified us as his subject's killer." Aqua said in a low tone speech. "He'll hunt us down to the very last end of the earth to avenge his subjects."
"... Say Aqua, since you can control water and all, can't you just take all the water out of the monster to kill it through dehydration?" Kazuma asked, hoping she'd say yes. 'Please say yes, PLEASE SAY YES!'
"Unfortunately most of my powers are sealed, the best I could do is this much?" she said while conjuring a medium sized water ball while looking sheepishly. "Is this enough?"
"Oh yes, it is. It's definitely enough to ONLY SPLASH HIM WITH WATER AND ANGERING HIM! WHY DID YOU SPEND ALL YOUR POINTS IN USELESS PARTY TRICKS WHEN YOU COULD'VE LEARNED OTHER SKILLS BASED ON WATER MAGIC!"
Aqua cried at Kazuma's insult. "I'm a goddess! I refused to abandon my skills I practiced so hard on my entire life!"
"Wasn't there stronger water skills you could have taken…" Greg asked in a deadpan. "Like summoning a tsunami, or a whirlpool, not a lousy water pistol that barely fires?"
"Those are beneath me! I have stronger powers than those weak spells! My father always praised me for having my skills in heaven."
'Now we know who to blame for making her a brat…' Greg thought with a sweatdrop. He then turned to look at Yunyun. "Guess this is the perfect time to show off your skills, Yunyun." Greg said to the girl.
"What the hell are you thinking dude?!" Kazuma shouted at Greg while holding Megumin like a piggy bank. "I know you're strong but not that strong to deal with a poisonous frog king! You'll get killed!" He said in worry to Greg.
"Don't worry Kazuma." Greg assured Kazuma. "I would've run like hell if I was in my previous body but with this bad boy." Gesturing at himself while covered in dark/purple aura. "I think I can handle a few hits, and it's perfect to see Yunyun's skills in magic."
"I-I don't think I-I c-can do this…" Yunyun said, scared, taking a few steps back in fear, tears forming in her eyes. "I-I don't think I'm strong enough t-to face something like this…" She thought to herself. 'T-They'll leave me like everyone else… I-I'll never have any friends… I-I'll be alone for the rest of my life…'
Aqua huffed, and pushed Yunyun aside. "Allow me to take care of this dark beast~! Sense it's an evil dark creature my Holy powers will smite this beast~!" Aqua ran up to it, summoning energy in her hand. "God Blow!"
Running towards the King Frog and hitting it in the stomach as she expects it to instantly kill the frog kill and gain all the glory for her as a goddess.
BOING!
…She forgot three things about frogs.
One: blunt force won't work on them.
Two: they are not weak against water types of attack or light such as Aqua's God Blow.
Three: It wasn't a creature made of darkness or had a dark alignment to it, but poison…
Greg deadpanned while holding up his fingers and counting down. "3, 2, 1."
Aqua started to foam at the mouth from the King Frogs poisons body, and fell to the ground, prone.
Yunyun was now trembling in fear.
Greg deadpanned at Aqua before slapping slamming his hand on his face.
Kazuma…
"YOU FUCKING DAMN USELESS GODDESS! HAVE YOU LEARNED NOTHING FROM THE COUNTLESS TIME YOU TRIED TO USE THAT SKILL ON FROGS WHEN THEIR IMMUNE TO BLUNT FORCE ATTACK! HOW MANY TIMES WERE YOU HIT ON THE HEAD WHEN YOU WERE A KID?!"
"T-To be far, with its looks and colors, I can see w-w-where she thought it was a darkness monster…" Yunyun said, gulping, her legs shaking.
"Well it still leaves us two party members down and only the tree of us to face it," Greg stated.
"I-I can cast Cure Poison on Aqua to stop the poison," Yunyun said, trying to calm herself and be useful. "Allow her to rejoin us."
Kazuma looked at Yunyun, looking like he wanted to cry at how useful Yunyun is as a pathy member. "You are so useful, I'm glad you wanted to join us."
"If you really want to show us your skills, now is the perfect chance." Greg said to her while pointing at the frog king who was slowly opening his mouth to a horrific former water goddess.
Yunyun looked at the Boss Monster, gulping, but tightened her grip on her own staff. "R-Right! Combination Spell! Lightning Spear with Acid Addition!" Yunyun summoned a large spear of lightning that was covered in a layer of acid around it. "Fire!" The spell was a piercing spell, with lighting damage and added with acid, that it actually sent the monster flying back about five feet for a monster its size, doing major damage and making it croaking in severe pain.
Kazama and Greg's jaws dropped at a seemingly normal spell was THAT powerful in her hands. Crimson Demons were no joke.
"... HooooooooOoOOoOoly crap…" Kzuma said in shock.
"... Why is she an outcast in her clan again…?" Greg asked, blinking a few times. "Forget it, Aqua wasn't lying about Crimson demons having so much mana in them."
"Yeah, no kidding…"
"Did-did I do well-EEP!" Before Yunyun could say anything, she was grabbed by Greg and jumped back, just before the Frog King could stomp on Yunyun. Not so much for Kazuma as he got the full brunt of the attack.
"That was close."
"Thanks for the help…" Kazuma groaned out, annoyed. He was slightly poisoned, but not as bad as Aqua was, his vision was spinning though.
CRROOAAAKKK!
The frog king croaked against at Yunyun and Greg while the girl hung onto Greg.
"I-I think it's angry at me!" Yunyun said in worry.
"It knows you're the biggest threat in the group and wants to try and get rid of you," Greg informed her. "You did send it flying five feet with a basic mixed spell combo."
"I-It sees me as a threat?" Yunyun asked in disbelief.
WHOOSH!
WHAPISH!
WHAPISH!
WHOOSH!
The frog king attempted to latched its tongue on Yunyun but Greg dodged it effortlessly, like as if he knew how to do this naturally.
'Huh, weird. It's as if I know how to handle this body well…..like as if it's a part of me. Wish this was a part of my shard back home I would be an absolute wreck.'
"What do we do!?" Yunyun cried, scared.
"What we should do." Greg says while side stepping the frog kings tongue. "Kill the frog king."
"B-But how? I need time to charge another attack like that."
"I've got something on my sleeve." Greg said to Yunyun, taking out something from his inventory before handing it to Yunyun. "Good thing I bought these with me. Now listen to me, I'm gonna catch its attention and when I do, charge up another spell and tell me when it's ready. I'm gonna get Kazuma….and Aqua….and Megumin out of there."
"Wh-why were you hesitant on saying Aqua and Megumin's name-"
"Nevermind that!" He said to her, placing her down on the ground before cracking his knuckles and swinging his neck, cracking his bones. "Just tell me when its ready!"
"C-couldn't you kill it? You seem to be stronger than me?"
"It would but miss the opportunity for you to show off your skills? Plus I wanna see your full potential."
"B-But I'm not that great…" Yunyun said, looking down.
WHAPISH!
SPLAT!
Greg managed to grab Yunyun just in time before it could latch onto her, he looked at the anxious girl with a deadpan expression. "Girl, you have two options here, one is either killing or defeating the frog king or being hunted by the frog for the rest of your entire goddamn life. Do you want a poisonous frog up at your ass?" he said pointing at the croaking frog as it has a menacing aura on it.
"EECK! I'll DO IT!" Yunyun took the mana potion and drank all of it in one go.
"Good, now then, if you'll excuse me." Greg said to Yunyun before teleporting at the far left of the field.
"HEY UGLY!" Greg called out the Frog King. "OVER HERE! [Tier 2 magic: Rosette Wail!]!"
BOOM!
Greg conjured three fire orbs and sent it towards the frog king which exploded on impact. It barely felt it, but it did seem annoyed at the attacks. It then spat poison at him like a cannonball from it's mouth.
Jumping backwards as the frog king spat out multiple poison cannonballs, Greg flipped back and forth multiple times while dodging all the poison cannonball, jumping sideways and twirling horizontally and landing on his feets.
The frog king grew angry at it as it croaked out in retaliation as it crouched itself for a second.
BAM!
Before dashing towards Greg at a bullet-like speed.
"Ah jesus!" Greg shouted in surprise, arching his back backward while keeping his foot on the ground, managing to dodge the frog king's sudden attack in a matrix dodge style.
Standing up straight while putting his hand over his heart, keeping his breathing in control. "Damn, that things fast despite its huge si-"
"WATCH OUT!"
"SUNNVABITCH! [Corporal Nothingness!]!"
Thanks to Yunyun's warning, he managed to turn himself into a corporal form. The monster croaked in bafflement at the action, trying to hit Greg more with no success.
"Can't hurt me now can ya, ya big dumb frog!" Greg taunted at the Frog King as it croaked in defiance before attempting to jump at him again but to no avail.
"Over here ugly!" The frog king turned around and not less than a second immediately jumped towards Greg, disappearing into the woods.
This gave Greg enough time to save Kazuma as he dashed towards him as he saw him in blue skin color while foaming a bit.
"T-Took you, l-long enough." Kazuma groaned out in pain.
"Yeah sorry about that, I needed to deal with an angry poisonous frog. Good thing you didn't get the full blast of its poison, unlike someone." Greg glanced at the foaming fallen goddess.
"High Luck for the win I guess…" Kazuma said, groaning. "Still sucks…"
"Yeah, now hang on." he said before grabbing Aqua and Megumin, carrying them like a potato sack while casting a void spell that made Kazuma float.
"I get the royal treatment while they're treated like sacks of potatoes?"
"Do I like a person who can carry three people at once while dealing with an angry frog king?"
"... Fair point. By the way, where's Yunyun? You didn't abandon her did you?"
"No, I'm letting her charge up a spell while we're the bait."
"Ah I see…..wait what?! We're what now?!"
CROOAAKKK!
Greg and Kazuma turn their attention to the forest as they see trees and woodens falling down to the ground while two red eyes glint through the shadows.
"DAMMIT WHY DO WE HAVE TO BE THE BAIT?! COULDN'T IT BE AQUA OR MEGUMIN?!"
"They could but I think they would barely qualify as baits due to how easy it is for them to get eaten by the frog king."
"I'm awake you know…" Megumin said, sounding annoyed at them forgetting about her. "Stop talking like I'm out cold… Normally it's Yunyun who's the bait for me to cast Explosion on my enemies."
"... Hey, Greg, why don't you just leave Megumin here?" Kazuma asked the Void mage, making Megumin pale.
"You know what, that's a great idea." Greg said to Kazuma, agreeing with his idea.
"No…..plea-"
"IT'S READY!" Yunyun shouted at Greg.
"Welp, that's my que!" Greg said before jumping back with Kazuma and Aqua on his toll while leaving Megumin.
"HAVE FUN MEGUMIN! LETS SEE HOW YOU LIKE GETTING EXPLODED!" Greg shouted at Megumin.
"Hey, wait, don't leave me here you jerks!"
Yunyun had magic power radiating off her, looking calm and focused. She didn't want to lose her new party. "Combination Magic Skill: Thunderstorm Plus Thunder Spear and Piercing Strike!" Just then storm clouds appeared over the frog king, as a giant bolt of lightning formed into a wickedly sharp and giant lance.
Megumin gulped. "... Oh dear Wolbach…"
BOOM!
The spell hit and there was a gain c\rash of thunder and lightning. It was as powerful as Megumin's Explosion, but it was about a quarter of its power. It fried the Frog as Megumin was sent flying from the force and shockwave of the spell.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Megumin shouted in fright before landing on piles of frog blood.
Later
"Congratulations Yunyun, you have now officially become a part of our team." Greg said to Yunyun while walking through the Belzerg town with his hands on his pockets.
"Yeah no kidding." Kazuma acknowledged Yunyun as well, carrying Megumin in a piggyback ride, fully cured of the poison due to the Eris priest [Cure poison] spell which helped out a lot.
"T-Thank you for having me," Megumin thanked, still nervous about this. "B-But can I make one request…?"
"What's that?"
"C-Can you let Megumin join in as well?" Yunyun asked, shocking the three.
"W-Wait y-you want me to be on the team?" Megumin asked, shocked at her rival.
"... Fine." Kazuma grudgingly said to her. "But you're not allowed to cast Explosion spells unless it's for last reserve."
"...I can't."
"What? You can't?"
"Because it's the only spell I know and I put all my points into it. It's the only spell worthy of my talents."
"... So you don't have other types of magic and only Explosion?" Greg said to Megumin with a half lid open eyes at her.
"Yes, I refuse to learn any other types of magic! Explosion is the only magic for me!" Megumin said proudly to the both of them.
"Oh great, she's like Bakuda back home." Greg muttered under his breath, and wanted to facepalm so badly. "Only without being a murderous psychopath."
"What was that?" Kazuma asked Greg.
"Nothing." Greg said to Kazuma before turning to Magumin. "Give us a reason why we should keep you if you know only explosions? What if we're in a cave or a dungeon without too much space and we all get caught in the explosion."
"... Explosion is for life."
"Yeah that settles it." Kazuma said to Megumin. "She's a lost cause-"
"NO! No other party members would take me! Please! I'll do anything! I'll carry your luggages! Clean your clothes! Make you dinner! Please don't abandon me! All the other party members left me behind due to my explosion magic causing many cave-ins!"
"ACK! You're…. choking me damn loli!" Kazuma choked out while Meguming gripped his neck and body tight.
"Ok that's enough." Greg walked towards Kazuma and Megumin before waving his hand, causing her to freeze and immobile, lifting her off of Kazuma as he gasped for air. "Yeah, that gives me and Kazuma another reason why you're not going to be in our team. Normally we won't let you in but your friend vouched for you so our only regulation for you and for both of our safety. if you can't learn any other magic spells other than explosions then you're not welcome."
"..."
Greg pinched his nose in irritation as Megumin had a down look on her face. "Alright fine, you can keep casting your explosion spell-"
"YAY!"
"BUT NOT YOUR REGULAR ONE!" Greg interrupted her victory cheer, causing her to freeze her expression. "Lucky for you, I happen to have a variety of explosion spells that is not on that grand level scale of destruction. That is my only offer, take it or leave it."
Megumin huffed, not wanting to back down, her pride not allowing her to. "I'll only do it if they actually impress me. But nothing can compare to Explo-"
"Take it or leave, my final offer or else I will dump you into the void and drag you to a random location that is very highly likely dangerous." That shut Megumin up, closing her mouth.
"Well?"
"...fine, I'll learn that is something ELSE than explosion."
"Good." Greg said to Megumin, nodding his head. "We'll start tomorrow morning and better be prepared cause you'll see that you could learn more than just simple exploding."
"Rhetorically or metaphorically?" Kazuma asked Greg in a deadpan expression.
"... Metaphorically."
"... My Bullshit Senses are going off…" Kazuma stated bluntly.
"Yeah, well, think on it later. We gotta turn in the rewards and settle with your debts so we don't have to worry about owing money to other people." Greg said to Kazuma, lifting up the frog king's crown. "Plus we gotta turn this one in as well, hope it's worth something."
Guildhall
"You killed a Frog King and got its crown!?" shouted Luna, the lovey guild staff woman, looking in shock at what they brought in. The rest of the guild was murmuring about what they heard.
"Yup, it's worth something alright." Kazuma commented to Greg when he simply showed the guild receptionist the crown.
"Well technically, it wasn't me who killed it but my companion did." Greg pointed at the embarrassed blushing Yunyun who was crouching down while hiding her face. "But I imagine it has to be some sort of a big deal, right?"
"Big, BIG!? It's on par with the Rookie Killers! This and the bounty would net you around 30,000,000 Eris, and that's the rounded estimate!"
"30,000,000 ERIS!" Kazuma literally had a heart attack, putting his hand over his chest while falling backward.
Greg used a small lightning spark to shock his heart back to working order. He was also shocked as well but his [Void Tranquility] kept his emotions in control.
Megumin and Yunyun's jaws dropped in shock. While Aqua was trying to plan to take it and drink all the good bubbles she could with all that money.
"May I ask why it cost that much?" Greg asked the guild receptionist.
"It's because it's a direct member of the demon lord race and it's a general candidate for its army. See this mark?" She showed the crown's sigil which was a jem with demonic wings and horns on it. "This means that you've not only prevented a demon lord general from rising its rank but also hunted a powerful monster that would've been a problem that only a hero can handle! Not only that, this crown is made out of pure 99.9% gold and has almost a hundred 24 Carat Diamonds etched into the damn thing, and all of them are cut flawlessly into lovely patterns!"
"... Oh." Greg simply said with a raised eyebrow on his face as Kazuma yet again experienced another heart attack.
"'Oh'!? After hearing all that, all you have to say for yourself is 'OH'!?" Luna shouted, grabbing Greg by his shirt and shaking him.
"Lady calm down." Greg said to Luna. "It wasn't me who killed it for one, and second, if you keep shouting you'll lose the time to breathe woman. Can you just take a deep breath before you get early wrinkles on that beautiful face of yours?"
"I'm sorry, it's just hard to believe, not even Kyouya Mitsurugi has done something like that yet, and he's a candidate to beat the Demon King," Luna said, trying to calm down. "He had trouble with a Rookie Killer even."
"What has he been doing?" Greg asked while sending a stronger electrical discharge at Kazuma, restarting his heart again but also electrifying him.
"Last I heard, he was seen mostly at some succubus brothel and capturing a lot of maiden's hearts."
"... Instead of fighting and training…?" Greg asked in a deadpan.
"Well he does have the Cursed Sword Gram, that allows him to cut anything," Luna informed. "It was gifted to him by the gods."
Kazuma and Greg looked at Aqua as she was greedily looked at the crown on Greg's hand.
"... Has the sword even cut anything that is besides dragon scales?"
"Well there were rumors that he couldn't cut down a great dragon scales but it's just a rumor, it can't possibly be true."
"... We'll keep an eye out for him and his party," Greg said, sighing. He then thought to himself, 'Why do I feel like Aqua sent a lot more people here then she's letting on…? And why do I also feel like she tricked a lot of them…?'
"In any case, how would you like your reward to be?"
Aqua jumped in and immediately grabbed the crown from Greg's hand while putting a hand over her chest. "You can simply pay it with cash, it would be a wonderful offering to a great goddess such as me. It would be a very generous donatio-"
BONK!
Aqua was double teamed by Kazuma and Greg, and was hit on the head by both of them, while Greg took the crown back. ""We'd like to store it in our persona guild bank account please."" Both Greg and Kazuma said in unison.
"There's no way in hell we're trusting her with that money." Greg said to Kazuma
"I've learned that the hard way." Kazuma replied back to Greg.
Aqua shot back up and ordered, "I want access to that account as well!"
"I'm sorry." Luna said to Aqua, bowing down to her. "But they had it transferred to their account so only they have access to the bank account since the group leader, Kazuma listed both him and Greg as finance managers."
"WHAAAAATTTT?!" Aqua shouted in shock and horror.
"You think we can trust Yunyun with the account as well?" Kazuma asked Greg. "She seems to be trustworthy."
"Y-You want to add me?" Yunyun asked, shocked.
"Hey, what about me!?" Megumin shouted, looking offended.
""Cause we don't trust you."" Both Greg and Kazuma said again in unison to Megumin.
An arrow stabbed through Megumin with the arrow Kanji for 'No Trust'.
"Well Greg, you think we can trust Yunyun with the account as well?" Kazuma asked again.
"As long as Aqua doesn't pursue/force her into peer pressuring her into buying millions worth in booze," Greg said.
"I-I'm not really that good with m-money. I usually s-save my money fr-from my q-quest and wh-when I have enough I-I use it to spend only f-for few nights in a shed and m-meals for the day b-before Megumin takes the whole meal, s-saying its not good for me to eat th-that much w-while she handles the money mostly w-while calling me a f-freeloader." Yunyun shyly replies to Kazuma and Greg.
Both guys gave Megumin an unimpressed look.
"...I'm having second thoughts of her being in our group."
"Same."
"Hey!"
"Let's get back to the campground." Greg said to Kazuma before handing the crown to Luna and walked out of the guild which was followed by Kazuma.
"Hey aren't we staying at a hotel when we have that much money?" Megumin asked them. "Why do we have to sleep outside?"
"One: cause we are only using our money wisely." Greg said to Megumin. "And two, it is our official base until we find a home of our own. We're not gonna spend our money everyday on an inn while we're here."
"Aaaahhhhhh." Megumin whined at Greg.
"We should think about getting a tank for the party though," Kazuma stated. "That way we can have someone to take the blows while those two use their magic and help us on the front lines."
"We'll deal with that later, for now let's head home." Greg said to Kazuma as he shrugs his shoulders at his friend.
Greg walked with them before stopping for a second and looked up at the sky as the sun was slowly setting down with a thoughtful expression on him.
'Kazuma did say he was brought here by Aqua but me, I wonder who was that being that brought me here to this place? Am I….. Not the only person here who was brought here in this world?' he said to himself while thinking. 'When my world was destroyed by scion? If so, I'm not the only one then.'
(Unknown area)
A young feminine figure layed down on the ground, unconscious. She was a tall stick-thin woman with long, curly black hair with a pair of glasses that were just near her hands. Wearing black-and-grey silk bodysuit with armor panels of insect shells and exoskeletons augmented with silk.
She laid there unconscious and unresponsive for a second before a bee landed on her hands as it waddled around before its eyes glowed green.
AN:
AAANNNNDDDD THAT'S A WRAP LADIES AND GENTLEMAN! WE HAVE DONE IT!
Light/Xara: I see that we have our second character coming in as well.
Oh fuck yeah, don't tell me that your also having fun writing this.
Light/Xara: I was actually. Got out from doing a lot of serious writing.
Haha! Who knew Konosuba would be entertaining to write with all these ridiculous situations that seems to make sense what would happen even in canon.
Light/Xara: True, and was that who I think it was at the end? Oh, I can already tell things are going to get crazier, and this is Konosuba we're talking about. … You think she can control Monster Bugs…?
Oh yeah, she'll definitely be a force of reckon but that won't also be the only surprise, a certain overlord will also make an appearance as well.
Light/Xara: We won't just be exploring Konosuba's world, will we?
No we're not, like I said this is gonna be a cumulative sections of Isekai worlds.
Light/Xara: As well as other worlds too I hope.
Yup, and those of you who knows the person at the end of the chapter, let's just say she's NOT the same person as from the golden morning but a parallel version where her world was destroyed during scion's rampage.
Light/Xara: Don't spoil too much, I still haven't read the books yet. … I hope they get a series adaptation, it would be a great series to watch honestly.
Hahaha~ then you should be prepared to read the novel then. Alright thank you all for reading our story, check out my fellow co author's fanfic profile, he writes a lot of good shit.
Light/Xara: Thanks. I've been getting pestered about the next chapter of our Persona/F/GO story. Seems people actually enjoyed it.
They do indeed, have a good rest and we'll see you all next time!
PEACE OUT!
