I do not own Overlord, only my OC's
Chapter 1: End and Beginning
Ainz Ooal Gown Meeting Room
"After 12 years of operation, the world of Yggdrasil is about to see its end. It was fun. In fact…it was a blast." Suzuki thought to himself as he closed his eyes while playing the full dive game Yggdrasil. Opening his eyes, he saw a purple blob sitting on a red and black chair among the forty-two chairs surrounding the large table.
"Hey there. It has been a while hasn't it Momonga." Came a male voice from the purple blob.
"Sure has." Suzuki in his Skeletal avatar named Momonga replied. "To be honest Herohero, I didn't think you'd come. You've been gone a couple of years."
"No way, its really been that long? Man…I guess I've been working for so long, my concept of time is so out of wack."
"That sucks. It can't be healthy for you." Replied Momonga
"Tell me about it. I feel like my avatar looks." Herohero said before pausing. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come here just to complain."
"Please, don't worry about it." Momonga said dismissively
"Well, I better go soon. I'm beyond exhausted. I wish I could stay longer." Herohero said quite tiredly.
"Right. Rest up and feel better." Momonga said
"But I gotta say though, I'm kinda shocked to see the Great Tomb of Nazarick still standing. Being guild leader suited you. You've done a great job maintaining the place"
"Well we created the place together. I couldn't let it go to dust." Momonga said. "Plus, I'm not the only one who has been maintaining the place. Touchme's brother has been super helpful in running the Guild."
"Wait, Ben is still in our Guild?" Herohero asked. "How has the kid been doing lately?"
"He isn't really a kid anymore Hero." Momonga said chuckling slightly
"Oh…right." Herohero said sheepishly. "It's been seven years since he joined our Guild. He was how old then…fifteen?"
"Yeah." Momonga confirmed
"Is he still…you know?" Herohero asked hesitantly
"Overexerting himself with Guild duties?" Momonga asked with a sighed. "Yes."
"Kid still doesn't understand the meaning of rest huh?" Herohero asked
"Touchme's death affected him more than he likes to admit." Momonga said. "I guess keeping his brother's Guild in order is his way dealing with his lose."
"Still though, how does he do it?" Herohero asked. "I mean, highschool, Part-time jobs and Yggdrasil…that seems a bit too much…does he even have time to study?"
"I asked him that question once…guess what he did?" Momonga asked
"What?"
"He met up with me IRL to show me his test scores." Momonga said. "Dude's a Genius."
"Seriously?" Herohero asked in shock. "Are his scores really that good?"
"They are."
"Hmm, I guess he doesn't have much friends IRL to pull that off huh?" Herohero asked
"I'm afraid he doesn't." Momonga said. "Which kinda makes sense as it was one of the reasons we accepted him into our Guild despite him using a human character."
"Yeah I remember." Herohero said. "Touchme was the one who introduced him into the game as way to make friends. Turned out the kid was such a loner that he never joined a guild until he met ours." He added, causing Momonga to laugh out loud as he remembered that day.
Seven Years ago, Ainz Ooal Gown Meeting Room
"Guys, we have a problem." Tabula said as he rushed into the room to meet eight of the Guilds founding members
"Easy there Tabula, you almost sounded as though someone just cleared the Eighth Floor." Bukubukuchagama said
"The Seventh Floor has been breached." Tabula said shocking his fellow guild members
"Which Guild is attacking us?" Touchme asked while reaching for the search orb on the table
"That's the crazy part, it isn't a Guild." Tabula said resulting in surprised gasps from his teammates
"You're joking right?" Herohero asked
"Do I look like I'm joking?" Tabula asked
"Let's see who this player is." Touchme said as the orb showed a single human Spellcaster fighting off the guardians of the Seventh Floor. While the others were intrigued by this lone wolf, Touchme was rather focused on the players name. "You have got to be kidding me."
"You know this player?" Momonga asked while facing their leader
"Knowing him is an understatement." Touchme said as his Avatar massaged it's forehead as though it was having a headache
"Ben Strega." Bukubukuchagama read the players name out loud. "Who's that anyway?"
"That my friend, is my little brother." Touchme said
Present Time
"Luckily for us back then, Rubedo defeated him." Herohero said
"Yeah, though it's a little scary that he's grown his character to be far more powerful than it was back then." Momonga said. "I'm sure Touchme would be proud of him…wherever he is."
"Speaking of Ben, where is he anyway?" Herohero asked.
"He said he'll be running late today." Momonga answered. "College entrance exam."
"Was really looking forward to meeting him again. Anyways, I gotta go now. I hope we meet up again IRL." The purple blob then vanished in a small blue flash of light.
"Today is the last day Yggdrasil's servers are online. Why not stay? We could reminisce and wait until everything shuts down for good." Momonga said to the empty room before sighing. He went into a string of thoughts revolving around their guild that was based in the Great Tomb of Nazarick. "Oh well. I'm happy that he even came at all. I hope we meet again, huh? Right. Just when and where would that be?"
"This sucks!" Momonga suddenly slammed his hand on the table. "This is our home. We built it together, with virtual blood and sweat. How can he turn his back on it so easily?"
"Stop it. He didn't." He whispered finally calming down. "No one in the guild betrayed you…"
"Player Ben Strega just logged in." The game system announced as the youngest member of the guild appeared in a blue light
"Welcome back." Momonga greeted as he turned to face Ben's Avatar, which if you asked him didn't look that different from the real being, besides his attire of course. Ben has the appearance of a black haired human in his Early twenties with no facial hair whatsoever. He wears a Hooded Dark Robe with simple red designs, a pair of Silver wrist gauntlet matching the color of his eyes, a black plain trouser and a pair of black combat boots. In terms of his height, he is just a few inches shorter than Sebas.
"Sorry I'm late." Ben apologized while observing the room for something. "I got notified that Herohero was here."
"You just missed him." Momonga said
"Oh." Ben said slightly disappointed
"You don't have to be sad." Momonga said. "Herohero wouldn't want that."
"I guess you're right." Ben said as looked at the golden staff with five jewel beads being held by Momonga. "So, you've finally decided to use it huh?"
"Our guild's weapon: the Staff of Ains Ooal Gown." Momonga said as he studied the weapon. "We played recklessly to make it. Some of us even spent our PTO just to have time to grind the materials. But, among the original 42 members, 37 of them quit. Then, the three…" he paused as he could have almost sworn that he noticed Ben's Avatar become sad.
"It's fine." Ben said as he started heading towards the exit. "Since it's the last day of the game, I guess there's nothing wrong with us being reckless for today right?"
"Like blowing up a Floor reckless?" Momonga chuckled slightly at his question
"Yeah no, we're not being that reckless." Ben said as he and Momonga walked out of the room.
They walked through a large set of doors and then down some steps, which was when they noticed an elderly man dressed in a black butler suit and had a well kept trimmed grey beard, bowing to them. Beside him stood several women in maid outfits bowing to him as well.
Momonga couldn't remember the name of the man so he looked it up on one of the information screens for NPC's in his guild…
"Sebas." Ben said, making Momonga nod in appreciation for reminding him his name
"And the Battle Maids of the Pleiades. We intended them to be the last line of defense to the throne room but sadly no player ever got that far... except for you that is."
"Guess I'm just too awesome to be defeated." Ben joked
"You still lost though, so that makes your awesome argument invalid." Momonga said
"Kill joy." Ben said before facing the NPCs. "We should move them around. One last time. It's the least we can do."
"Very well. Follow me!" Momonga commanded in his signature deep voice.
The maids and butler did so, falling in line behind the two players. They walked up to the throne and noticed a very beautiful woman with shoulder length slick black hair, alluring golden eyes with black slits in them along with black angel like wings coming from her waist. She wore white dress that had frills in some places and exposed her hips slightly along with giving a very nice view of her cleavage.
Albedo
Momonga thought. It was hard not to remember this NPC given how beautiful Tabula made her. He had to admit, the man spent so much time creating her to the most perfect form of the female body one could think of.
He turned towards the butler and the maids thinking about which command he needed to give them. "Standby." He had said after a few moments.
They did so and moved to the side standing firmly in line.
Momonga then sat on the throne with Ben standing beside him in silence as the Guild leader turned his attention to Albedo. "What were her settings again?" He asked Ben
"You don't wanna know." Ben said already aware of Tabula's detailed programing
"When you put it like that, it actually makes me want to know." Momonga said as he began Looking through the in-depth settings of Albedo. "As the highest-ranking NPC in the Tomb of Nazarick, she supervises all of the other guardians…blah blah blah…"
Not in the mood to read all the details, Momonga scrolled towards the end of the character sheet before coming across the last few commands for her personality which caused him to sweat-drop.
"Wait, she's a bitch?" Momonga asked
"The more you know." Ben said
Momonga sweat-dropped. Tabula sure liked creating contradicting characters. Momonga then used the power of the staff in his hands to change himself to the administrator of Albedo to tweak her settings.
"What are you doing?" Ben asked
"Being reckless, like you asked." Momonga said causing the boy to just shrug dismissively
Erasing the part of her being a bitch, Momonga began to think. "Hmm, what should I change about her? Oh I know." He said as he started to type. "She is deeply in love with Momonga. How embarrassing!
I'm such a dork!"
"Tell me something I don't know." Ben said dryly causing Momonga to mental rain curses on himself for typing that Infront of his Guild mate
"Sorry about that, I almost forgot you were a Eunuch." Momonga said
"You did not just call me a Eunuch." Ben said annoyed
"Oh really?"
"I'm not a Eunuch."
"Then you don't mind me changing her love for me to you then?" Momonga said
"Tch, do whatever you want." Ben said as Momonga change the final info to, 'She is Deeply in love with Ben Strega.'
With the change made, he closed the interface before looking up above, jutting from the walls on his sides, he saw the various flags that had each one of their crest marks that distinguished each player in the guild.
"Now these are relics of the past." Momonga sighed. "There's mine. TouchMe. Shijuuten Suzaku. Ankoro Mocchi Mocchi. Herohero. Peroroncino. Bukubuku Chagama. Tabula Smaragdina. Warrior Takemikazuchi. Variable Talisman. Genjiro and you." He added finally, looking at the Wolf Crest of Ben
"Well, it was fun." Ben sighed
"Not just fun, but it was a blast." Momonga said. "Ugh I have to wake up at four. Better crash once the servers shut down. I don't want to be a zombie at work."
"Same, but honestly." Ben said while closings his eyes. "I don't care right now. I just want to enjoy our last moments here."
Momonga did the same as he closed his eyes and watched the clock as the seconds went by until it hit,
00:00:00
Their vision now became blurred with several colors before they suddenly found out that they were still within there respective avatars.
"Huh?" Ben said as he opened his eyes
"Did the devs push back the server shutdown?" Momonga asked while trying to activate his Console. "Where's my console?"
"I can't use chat or call a GM." Ben said also facing similar problems. "What's going on?"
"Lord Momonga, Lord Ben, Is something wrong?" said a melodious voice. Ben turned towards the source and was surprised to see Albedo looking straight at him with a concerned yet confused look. "Lord Ben? Lord Ben is everything alright? You seem troubled!" Her voice filled with worry. She walked up to him. "If there is a problem then please let me help!" She clasped her hands together which caused the distance between her arms to close a bit, pushing her assets into full view.
While witnessing this, Momonga almost screamed out but his emotion was instantly suppressed due to being an undead. Ben on the other hand, did not have such suppressions so he blurted out the first thing that came to mind
"What in the Actual Fuck!"
"Lord Ben…" Albedo said sheepishly caressing her arm. "...To perform such an act Infront of Lord Momonga.. though I don't mind if that's what you truly want."
"Wait what?!" Ben began blushing from ear to ear after noticing she misunderstood the phrase. "That's not what I meant!"
"Uhh Albedo…" Momonga said trying to help Ben. "What Ben wanted to know was why his GM call function wasn't' working."
Albedo stepped back with a resigned but sad look. "I'm sorry but I have no answer. This GM magic you speak of is beyond my comprehension."
"Her mouth is moving…" Momonga thought
"I realize my failure to assist you is inexcusable. I don't deserve it but I beg for your mercy my lord!" she said in true despair and regret at being unable to help Ben.
Deep breaths, deep breaths." Ben mentally told himself as he calmed down."Sebas." he called.
"Yes, my lord?" The butler bowed.
"Step outside and confirm the surroundings of Nazarick."
Sebas then stood up. "By your command my lord. I shall return."
"Nice thinking Ben." Momonga said. "Pleiades! I want you to head to the ninth floor. If anyone tries to trespass, deal with them!"
The group of six maids left the throne room behind Sebas.
"Ok they recognize commands that aren't native to the game…" Momonga thought
While Momonga was deep in thoughts, Albedo started to approach Ben again. "So, Lord Ben…do you have any orders for me to obey?" Albedo asked with an almost seductive smile.
"Momonga you bastard, what have you done." Ben thought as he turned to face the Guild leader. "For the love of all things good, please work. Momonga" Ben mentally reached out to his ally who would have jumped up in fear had his emotions not been suppressed
"How I you doing that?" Momonga asked
"No time to explain, what do I do about Albedo?" Ben asked/pleaded
"You can ask her to let you touch her." Momonga suggested
"You're joking right?" Ben asked
"You have a better plan?" Momonga asked
"Listen, even if I tell her that how do I go about it?" Ben asked
"Now listen to exactly what I say." Momonga said
"Okay," Ben said as he turned to Albedo. "Let's see…I guess, you could come here for a moment."
"Sure!" Albedo said very happy and made her way to Ben's and leaned her face so that it was inches from his.
"Good, good." Momonga said through their telepathic link. "Next you tell her to…"
"Albedo…may I touch you?" Ben asked with some hesitation, which she nodded to
Ben touched her wrist and was surprised to feel a pulse. He could see the blush on her face along with an excited smile while hearing the moan that escaped her lips.
"Okay, I'm letting go." Ben thought as he tried to let go, but Albedo took hold of his hands and buried it into her boobs, instantly causing her to moan
"Albedo. I'm sorry I-I didn't mean to…" Ben said quickly as he withdrew his hand
"This is it isn't it? You're going to take me right here? What should I do about my clothes? Should I remove them or would you like to take them off of me slowly."
"Woah, hold on a moment Albedo!" Ben said with his arms raised to try and calm her down
Momonga cleared his throat. "Now is not the time to be doing such things."
Albedo gasped and backed up a few steps. "I-I'm so sorry Lord Momonga!" she exclaimed.
"Its fine Albedo. I forgive you completely. More importantly, I have an order for you."
"It would be my honor to serve you." Albedo said with a slight bow.
"Except for the guardians of the fourth and eighth floors, I want everyone to meet at the sixth-floor fighting arena. Have them gather there in one hour."
Albedo bowed. "As you wish my lord." She then walked out of the throne room to complete her given orders.
"That was close." Momonga muttered. "It seems we can still use our magic, judging by you speaking to me telepathically."
"Momonga…you're evil." Ben muttered as he managed to calm his hormones. "How are you calm?"
"For some reason whenever I feel any kind of emotions it literally vanishes in an instant." Momonga said
"Hmm." Ben hummed thoughtfully. "It could probably be because you're an Undead."
"That actually makes sense." Momonga sighed. "Ok, we need to think things through about what we plan to do here before our meeting with the floor guardians."
"Fine." Ben sighed
Sixth Floor
Ben and Momonga teleported to a massive coliseum within a vast forest of eternal night, with a brilliantly starry sky above.
"Amazing." Ben said as studied the floor
"Where are the Guardians?" Momonga asked
"They're here." Ben said causing Momonga to raise an invisible brow. "I can sense them somehow."
"Lord Momonga, Lord Ben, welcome to the sixth floor that I guard!" Aura says with enthusiasm from the balcony. She then leaps towards the ground, somersaulting on the way down and landing like a feather. She runs over to the Supreme Beings and bows. "What brings you to our floor Lord Momonga and Ben?" Aura asks
"We wish to test a few things, we will intrude upon you for a time," Momonga replied.
"What are you saying?" Aura laughed. "All of Nazarick belongs to you, how could we or anyone else consider you as intruding?"
Momonga awkwardly chuckled at that. "By the way, where is your brother, Mare?" he then asked.
"Hmm?" Aura looked back, obviously expecting to see her cross-dressing brother, but he was still up on the higher level that Aura had previously leapt from. She regarded her brother, burning with elder sister fury. "Mare!" she yelled. "Get down here; you are being rude to our guests!"
"But that looks a long way down…" Mare replied, voice more feminine than his sister's, but then their creator loved the contradictions in characters between voice, appearance, and personality.
"Mare!" Aura repeated, real warning in her voice. Mare sighed, and leapt down with a lady-like grunt, and then ran over to them
"W-Welcome, Lord Momonga, Lord Ben!" He bowed swiftly to each of them. "So, what brings you here?"
Momonga held up his staff, "I wish to test this."
"Wow!"
"Is that?"
"Indeed, the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown, the symbol of the guild itself, each of the jewels in the snakes' mouths is a god level artefact, and the staff itself transcends god level, its versatility and auto targeting system are especially!" and then Momonga paused, with an embarrassed 'Ahem!' covered by a cough. "In any case it is a unique item that would not lose against any world level item."
"That's awesome!" Mare declared.
"Could you prepare some targets for us?" Momonga asked.
"Of course!" Aura replied, running to one of side doors and letting loose a shrill whistle, a part of her tamer skills, and out lumbered several bulky humanoid lizards, each carrying a large wood and straw target, vaguely in the shape of a person.
The wooden poles attached to the practice dummies were equally spaced apart, the monsters retreated at this point, and Aura said, "whenever you're ready, Lord Momonga."
"Umu…" he raised the staff, the two elves waited with expectation,. "Summon: Primal Fire Elemental!"
All of the targets ignited, before turning into a fire tornado, and from the mass of flames emerged a gigantic being of fire, its flesh magma, and its features demonic.
"This is the Primal Fire Elemental; its level is in the upper eighties…would you like to fight it?"
"Really, can I?" Aura was all enthusiasm.
"D-Do we have to?" Mare was far less so.
"Mare!"
The twins took centre stage with the summon standing opposite them, waiting on Momonga's orders.
"Primal Fire Elemental, attack the twins!"
It let loose a roar and began blasting them with seventh tier and higher fire magic but the twins were able to evade it's attack.
While Aura and Mare battled the Elemental, Ben chose that moment to telepathically contact Sebas
"Sebas?" Ben called. "How do things
look on the outside?"
"Lord Ben, Lord Momonga." Sebas said. "There is a slight problem."
"Hm. I have called all the Guardians to gather. Come to the amphitheater on
the sixth floor immediately." Momonga said
"Yes my lord!"
After the message is ended. They noticed Mare and Aura making their way towards them, with the enemy already defeated
"Thank You Lord Momonga, Lord Ben, I haven't had that much exercise in a while!" Mare said
"You two look thirsty. Would you like some water?" Momonga asks them. He then pulls out a pitcher of endless water and pull out 2 glasses from hid storage. The Dark Elves drank the water happily and it earns them a smile from both Supreme Beings.
"I-I-I thought L-Lord M-M-Momonga would b-b-be scarier?!" Mare says
"Oh really Mare? Would you prefer it if I was scarier?" Momonga asks
"N-N-No! I-I-I like Lord M-M-Momonga like t-t-this!" Mare and Aura both exclaim.
"Looks like I'm the first to arrive." A gate suddenly opened in the arena and out stepped Shalltear Bloodfallen, a true vampire and lamprey if her blood rage took over. She was a short, petite, silver haired, red eyed girl who gave off an air of nobility. "Oh, wow! Lord Momonga and Ben! The only men I could never rule above!"
"Stop, Shalltear. You're starting to slobber on them." Aura said
"Hello, half-pint. I didn't realize you were here." Shalltear said as she turned to Mare. "Having such a foolish older sister must be difficult, Mare. However do you manage it?"
"Miss Fake Tits." says Aura taking a jab at the undead Shalltear.
"What?!" Shalltear yelled
"Ouch." Ben thought feeling the weight of Aura's insult.
"Just as I thought!" Aura continued. "That's why you went through the trouble of using a gate. You were in a hurry, but since you overstuffed your top so much, you worried they would shift if you ran here."
"Ah! Watch it, elf!" Shalltear yells. "You've got nothing but a boy-chest!"
"True, but I'm only 76 years old. I can still develop. Whereas, you're stuck in an undead body. Maybe you should learn to accept those bug bites." Aura shot back
"How dare you!"
"Talk about nostalgic." Ben thought with a sweat drop. "It's like watching Peroroncino and Bukubukuchagama fight again."
"What a ruckus, both of you stop acting like that in front of the Supreme Beings." Cocytus says. The large, blue, four armed Insect creature says to them. This was Cocytus, the creation of the Warrior Takemikazuchi.
"Ah Cocytus, thank you for coming." says Momonga.
"I will always come when called for Lord Momonga." Cocytus replies. Aura and Shalltear started up their bickering while Cocytus was talking with Lord Momonga. As he was about to tell them to stop it again, he heard someone from behind him beat him to it.
"You two stop acting like that in the presence of two Supreme Beings." says Albedo.
She had just arrived with Demiurge. The meticulous devil in an impeccable orange suit. He was the creation of Ulbert. He was considered one of the weaker floor guardians in terms of power but his mind was sharper then any other guardians.
"Thank you for coming Albedo, Demiurge" Momonga said
"Your thanks are wasted on us Lord Momonga. We were created to serve the Supreme Beings of Nazarick and will always answer when called." Demiurge says to him
Albedo then steps up front. "Now that everyone has arrived, the ritual of fidelity for our masters." she says to them. Before either could say anything, the guardians lined up in front of them with Albedo slightly ahead of everyone.
"Shalltear Bloodfallen, Guardian of the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors pledges her undying loyalty to the Supreme Beings."
"Cocytus, Guardian of the Fifth Floor, pledge my undying loyalty to the Supreme Beings."
"Guardian of the 6th floor, Aura Bella Fiore, pledges her undying loyalty to the Supreme Beings."
"A-Also Guardian o-of the 6th f-f-floor, Mare Bello Fiore, pledges h-h-his undying l-l-loyalty to the S-S-Supreme Beings."
"Guardian of the 7th floor, Demiurge, pledges his undying loyalty to the Supreme Beings."
"Guardian Overseer Albedo pledges her undying loyalty to the Supreme Ones." Once Albedo kneels and pledges her loyalty she continues speaking.
"With the exception of the Guardians of the 4th and 8th floor, all the floor Guardians have pledged their undying loyalty to the Supreme Beings." Ben and Momonga both stood impressed and surprised at the Guardians supposed loyalty
