Part 3
(Y/n) POV
"Remember, keep it cool" I told Naberal as we were about to enter a bar "Understood" she said as I pushed open the door and made my way to the owner "We want a room" I said as he didn't even bother looking up from his work "5 copper pieces" and he looked up at me "Oh your just a low level Copper Plate" he said almost sounding disgusted "I just registered and it's what they make you start as" and he got mad at me for some reason "Now it's 7 copper not including meals-" and I handed him the money that I 'found' "Meals will not be necessary" he took the coins and put them into his pocket "Room is upstairs and in the back" "Thank you" I said now heading towards the stairs. Unfortunately some meat headed moron put his foot out to block me "Do you mind?" I said kicking his foot "Hey" he stood up getting in my way "How am I supposed to work with a busted ankle...maybe your pretty little friend here could kiss it" he said and my eyes narrowed, no one is allowed to insult my servants. I grabbed his throat and lifted him up into the air a bit "How about instead you kiss that table" I threw him across the room smashing a table that some girl was sitting at smashing it "Would anyone else like to insult my friend?" I said in an almost growl "What the hell man?" that girl said getting up from the remains of the table "You just spilled my potion, I saved up so could buy it and less than an hour later you smash it" she said putting her hands on her hips. Behind me I could feel Naderal grip her weapon ready to slice her head clean off for daring to address me in such a way. I put my arm out blocking Nabe "I apologize, it was an accident" I said but the woman didn't relent "I don't care, you broke it now you should pay for it" she said with her hand extended "Uhhh, I'm afraid I don't have the money" "Bullcrap, that's some fancy looking armor and sword you got there, I seriously doubt that you cannot afford it" I could feel Nabe ready to snap "Here" I pulled out one of my own potions "Would this be good enough?" I handed it to her "Red?.....I guess this is fine for now" she said leaving the tavern. We went upstairs to our room and when we entered I sat on the bed "My lord, why did you let that woman openly disrespect you like that and not let me kill her?" Nabe asked as I removed my helmet "We're supposed to be laying low and a murder doesn't help, though I suppose throwing a man through a table doesn't help either. Besides that woman was a iron plate adventurer, she outranks us so it was the best way I could think of" and Nabe dropped onto one knee "As always your wisdom is beyond my comprehension Lord Ainz" "Okay first thing, please stop being so formal around me, remember your not Naberal Gamma when we're here, just Nabe, and I am not Lord Ainz or Harrow, but instead (Y/n), two simple adventurers looking to make a living" I said as Nabe stood back up "Yes my.....boss""We'll need to work on that" I stood up and walked in front of a mirror. Revenants have the special ability that they can technically change their race, so I morphed my physical body to that of a humans. The balancing factor is that the strengths are reduced by half and the weaknesses are amplified. "My L-....(Y/n), why would you change your appearance to that of a.....human" Nabe said sounding almost disgusted "To draw less attention, in the unlikely event that my helmet were to get removed then our cover would be blown" and Nabe bowed "Your brilliance knows no bounds my Lord"
Next day
Both me and Nabe were standing in front of a quest board, these should help both of us rise through the ranks and further our understanding of this world. Only one problem though 'I can't read any of these, Naberal is a Doppelganger so she can't read anything anyways so....oh screw it' I thought taking a random quest from the board "Consider this one done" I said giving it to the handler "I'm sorry sir but this is to high ranked for you, they're requesting a Mythral plate and your just a copper" and I scoffed "Oh I assure you that we are more than capable of completing this with ease, my friend here can cast up to 3rd tier magic and I am on the same level as her" I said as murmurs spread throughout the guild hall, most of which doubted both of us. God I hate that. "I'm sorry sir but the rules are the rules" the woman said as I crossed my arms "It's fine, your're just doing your job, we'll take the most difficult one available" "Of course, one moment please" she said going off to retrieve the quest "Hey, if your looking for a job why not join us" looking over it was a group of four men, one blonde wearing brown armor with a sword and shield as a weapon who was a warrior, a second was also a blonde with a red streak in his hair with a bow and machete who was obviously a ranger, the third was a larger man who was the oldest looking with green armor and a mace on his back though I suspect some form of caster. The final one was a little odd, short brown hair and blue eyes wearing spell casters robes and a staff, but something seemed off about him. We followed them upstairs as they introduced themselves 'My name is Peter Mauk, our ranger here is Lukroot Volve" and he saluted both of us "This is our druid Dyne Woodwonder" "Nice to meet you both" "And last but not least our faithful caster Ninya, he has the special talent called Magic Aptitude, it makes it so he can learn spells way faster than anyone else" "Hi" he said kind of embarrassed' A talent is the same as a special skill in this world, only you can be born with it instead of having to unlock it' "I am (Y/n) and this is my partner Nabe, the pleasure is ours" I said and Lukroot leaned forwards on the table "So what is your relationship like?" "We're allies, nothing more nothing less" I said and he dropped down onto one knee like he was proposing to Nabe "then Miss Nabe, from the instant I saw your beautiful face I was bewitched, smitten, and-" "Silence, dog or I shall cut off your tongue and feed it to you" Nabe said harshly and coldly 'I forgot, I modified her settings to also like me the same as Albedo....I may have made a colossal error' I thought "She doesn't mean-" I tried to say but Lukroot stood up covering his face with his hand "So harsh, yet my heart still yearns for more, merely being in your very presence is filling my stomach with butterflies" he said and sat back down and Peter smacked him in the back of his head "I'm very sorry about that" I cleared my throat " I suppose that I should remove my helmet if we are to be working together" I said removing it, I tried to make my appearance as close as I could to my one in real life but there was nothing I could do about the eye color, they were still red "Oh I thought you guys weren't from around here" Peter said as I set my helmet down in my lap "Why hide your face?" Dyne asked "It's just that some people don't take to kindly to foreigners and I didn't want to cause a stir" I said and they seemed happy with that answer "Anyways, what kind of mission did you all have in mind?" I asked putting my helmet back on 'The illusion is always on but can be cracked with a fifth tier counter-concealment spell, should be a good warning if anything strong tries to attack' I thought "We're going out to exterminate some monsters that are north of the city, we kill them and if we provide proof the guild will pay us for each one we kill" Dyne chimed in with a small sigh "It's a boring task but a necessary one for us adventurers" and I thought about it for a second I suppose this could give us a chance to learn about the creatures of the world if they're any different to the ones in Yggdrasil' I thought and nodded "We would be happy to join you" "Excellent, we'll leave immediately" Peter said as we all got up to depart. As we were walking down the stairs the quest handler approached us "Mr. (Y/n), a Nferia Bareare is here to see you" and a young boy stepped out form the crowd "Mr. (Y/n), I'd like to hire you for a job"
