Chapter 1: Setting The Tone

"Other than the guardian of the fourth floor, Gargantua, and the guardian of the eighth floor, Victim, all of the guardians have gathered to bow before you, my Lords. Please bestow your orders upon us, Supreme Ones." Albedo said as she raised her head to plea for their first set of orders from you two as an dark and ominous aura emitted from Momonga, while a white and hot light glowed around your dorsal plates and the back of your throat as a hot steam leaked from your mouth. "We offer our complete loyalty to you." Albedo proclaimed as the rest of them continued to keep their heads lowered in respect.

"Raise your heads." Momonga said as he suddenly let out a dark, depressed and hopeless aura from his body. "Why am I showing them such a depressed and hopeless aura?!" He thought in confusion and shock of himself as you stared at him strangely.

"Uwoh...Talk about edge..." You thought to yourself while looking at your guild leader, unaware of your own glow on your dorsal plates.

"You all did well to gather here. Thank you." Momonga said as you nodded in agreement while they raised their heads in surprise of receiving praise.

"Your thanks is wasted upon us. We here have all pledged ourselves to the two of you. My Lords, you may find us lacking. However, we vow to work had and to live up to the expectations of the supreme beings who created us." Albedo said as the other guardians were in agreeance.

"We vow this to you!" The rest of the floor guardians repeated with absolution as there was a brief moment of silence before Momonga opened his jaw with an audible crunch while raising his free hand and the staff up.

"Wonderful, floor guardians! We are confident that all of you will be able to fulfill your duties without fail!" Momonga said as you stepped forward.

"Live up to the expectations your creators gave you, and in return, you will find nothing but treasures and wealth!" You promised them great rewards in exchange for their devout and loyal service as they were amazed by yours and Momonga's words.

"Well, then." Momonga spoke up as their amazement quickly shifted to a look of close listening. "Right now, the Great Tomb of Nazarick is caught up in an unkown situation. I already had Sebas survey our surroundings..." He trailed off as you turned to your left and gestured to Sebas, who was waiting patiently, as he bowed in response before walking forward and kneeling before you two.

However, after hearing the results of his investigation, the location that you heard the tomb was in was unbelievable to you and Momonga...

"Grasslands?" You and Momonga repeated the location Sebas informed you two of which the Great Tomb of Nazarick was transported.

"Yes. Completely different from the swamps that surrounded the Great Tomb of Nazarick, I could not confirm a single building, human, or monster in a one kilometer radius." Sebas reported his findings of the surveying land around the tomb.

"Good work, Sebas. It seems that Nazarick has been transported to an unknown land for some reason. Floor guardian leader, Albedo. As well as the defensive leader, Demiurge." Momonga called on the two that were best suited for leading roles amongst the guardians in this circumstance.

"Yes!" Albedo and Demiurge sounded off in unison as they listened carefully.

"Create a stronger information sharing system and fortify our defenses!" Momonga ordered them.

"Yes!" Both of them and the rest of the guardians responded as you looked to Aura's younger brother.

"Mare, can you come up with anyway to conceal the Great Tomb of Nazarick?" You asked as he seemed to struggle with some ideas.

"I-It would bbe difficult using just magic. But, if we covered the walls with dirt and concealed ourselves with vegetation..." Mare suggested, but the mention of these methods seemed to rub Albedo in the wrong direction.

"You want to smear the glorious Nazarick walls with dirt?" Albedo spoke with disbelief and anger towards the idea, but flinched when you smacked your tail aggresively against the ground.

"That's enough, Albedo." You ordered her to stop such remarks.

"Yes. I am very sorry, Lord P/N." Albedo apologized as you turned back to Mare.

"You're saying that concealing ourselves with the surrounding terrain and covering the walls of the tomb with dirt and vegetation will the most sufficient and effecient form?" You asked for confirmation from Mare.

"Y-Yes. As long as you allow it, however..." Mare didn't want to force this option on the two of you  while you pondered the details about the topic.

"It'd be strange for a single mound to be present in an open plain..." You muttered in thought before turning back to Sebas. "Sebas, did you find any hills or ground formations in the area?" You asked him as he raised his head.

"No. Unfortunately, we are surrounded by flatlands." Sebas informed you as an idea came to mind.

"Then, what if we erected dummy hills and other misleading ground formations around the flatlands?" You asked him for his opinion.

"I believe we would blend in with such a surrounding." Sebas said with some form of certainty with in those circumstances.

"Hm, then that will be the course of action we take. Once that's taken care of, any open areas or spots that can't be covered will be dealt with using illusions. I sympathsize with your feelings of keeping the Great Tomb of Nazarick in its all shining beauty, but in certain situations, we must use extreme measures to keep things balanced in our favor." You said to Mare as he bowed his head.

"Y-Yes. I understand." Mare said as he would carry out this plan once this meeting was concluded, and you turned back to Momonga to see what else he had to say.

"And lastly, I wanted to ask each floor guardian something." Momonga said as he turned to Shalltear first of the group. "First, Shalltear. What kind of beings are we to you?" He asked of her opinion as she raised her head with a desire-driven look and blush on her face. 

"Absolute crystalizations of beauty. The most beautiful beings in this world!" Shalltear said with an enticed and pleasured tone.

"Cocytus." Momonga asked the next guardian.

"Stronger than all of the guardians, beings worthy to be the absolute rulers of the Great Tomb of Nazarick." Cocytus said with high praise and admiration of strength.

"What about you two, Aura? Mare?" You asked the dark elf twins about their feelings towards you both as they raised their heads.

"Merciful leaders who excel at foresight." Aura answered with a bright smile on her face.

"V-Very kind rulers." Mare answered with a pink hue and smile across his face.

"Demiurge." You and Momonga called to the Demon as he raised his head to you both.

"Rulers who make wise decisions and act upon them efficiently. Rulers who truly fit the word 'inscrutable'." Demiurge spoke highly of you two as you both turned to the subordinate of yours who stood was knelt off to the side.

"Sebas." Momonga asked for his thoughts as the dignified grey butler raised his head.

"The heads of all the supreme beings and merciful leaders who stayed behind with us until the end." Sebas responded with gratitude for being under yours and Momonga's liege as there was one last answer to hear from.

"And lastly, Albedo." Momonga said as you two turned to see her stare at you both with a blissful smile and longing look in her eyes while a blush slowly spread across her face.

"The highest ranking beings of all the supreme beings and out ultimate masters. As well as the rulers that I love!" Albedo exclaimed outloud the final part of that sentence, surprising you both at how bold she was even now.

"I-I see..." Momonga said as he glanced at you and you both shared a nod before turning back to them. "We have heard all your thoughts. Continue working faithfull in our names!" Momonga said as they lowered their heads once more.

"Yes!" They all responded in unison as there was nothing more to be said and you two teleported away.

After leaving, the two of you had reappeared back in the hallway that was outside of the guild members meeting room, and you looked to see Momonga facing the wall as he put one of his boney hands on it in exhaustion. 

"Hah...I'm tired..." Momonga muttered outloud as you stretched your arms and tail out while cracking your neck.

"Right? Also, what's with the pedestal they put us on? I know we're the leaders of their creators, but isn't this too ridiculously high to think of us?" You asked him in wonder as he turned towards you.

"Right? Those guys are serious." Momonga said while turning back to you as his eyes glowed red in shock of their feelings.

"I think I wanna get some rest after all this...Hey, do you even need rest? Since you're an undead and all...?"  You asked him as his eye sockets turned black.

"How should I know...?" Momonga responded as he still didn't know the inner workings of this new body he found himself in completely.

"Oh..." You hummed as the red orbs in his eye sockets returned and he stared at you in confusion. "I forgot my weapon..." You said in a clumsy manner as Momonga just sighed tiredly once again while skull palming in disbelief of yourself.

Teleporting back to the sixth floor, you found yourself in one of the hallways again, but as you were walking back out, you noticed that the floor guardians were still lingering around the arena. Curious as to what they were talking about, you tiptoed around and hid behind one of the pillars surrounding the arena as you got in range to hear what the guardians were saying to one another.

"Why are they still here...?" You thought to yourself in wonder as you peered around the pillar while they all stood back up.

"Th-That was really scary, Sis." Mare said to his sister.

"Seriously, I thought we were going to be squashed by their pressure!" Aura replied with a smile and hint of excitement from the meeting.

"To think they would be this amazing." Cocytus commented as he was amazed by yours and Momonga's presence.

"So that is Lord Momonga and Lord P/N when they truly show themselves as our leaders." Albedo said in adoration while keeping her hands clasped together as Demiurge readjusted his glasses.

"So it seems." Demiurge agreed as he turned to the others.

"It seems they have answered to our vow of fidelity." Cocytus spoke while taking hold of his halberd weapon with one of his arms.

"They were completely different when they were with us. Our Lords were super kind!" Aura spoke of the first experience she shared with you two. "They even gave us something to drink, and Lord P/N wiped our faces clean when he saw that we had been a dirtied a little." Aura said with joy while recalling the acts of kindness you two displayed to them.

"Well, in the end they're still children. It's important to do things like this so they don't end up worst off when they grow up...Even though they're already past normal human life expectancy..." You thought while nodding your head proudly to yourself.

"S-So that's what our Lords are like when they stand as rulers. It was amazing!" Mare said with surprise and amazement as you were nodding along with how your ego was being stroked, unaware of the trembling Albedo as she finally burst out.

"It's just as you say!" Albedo yelled out with glee and excitement as her sudden outburst made you flinch and hide back behind the pillar for a moment before you peaked around with only one eye. "They responded to our feelings and acted just as absolute rulers should. As expected of our creators! Among the 42 supreme beings, they are the ones who stand at the top! They are merciful being who stayed behind in this land until the end." Albedo sang yours and Momonga's praises through excited, bated breaths as her body was warming up further and further, while the others just remained silent in agreement, but a bit surprised by her sudden outburst.

"Then, I shall return first." Sebas spoke up as Albedo turned around towards him. "I do not know where Lord Momonga or Lord P/N went, but I and one of the Pleiades should be by their sides." Sebas said as he was going to venture off in search of either of you.

"Sebas, inform me immediately if anything happens. Especially if either or both our Lords call for me. I will rush to their side!" Albedo said before her smile stretched to an unsettling length as her eyes beamed brightly with desire and lust. "No matter what I have to sacrifice in exchange!" She exclaimed as you were silently hitting yourself on the head with your tail.

"We shouldn't have messed with her settings...!" You thought in regret and disappointment in yourself and Momonga, but there was no going back now. 

"But tell Lord Momonga and Lord P/N that I will need time if they call me to their bedchambers. I would need to bathe first. Of course, if they want me to go without bathing..." Albedo was uttering on and on to the ponit that even the other floor guardians were beginning to become unsettled by her behavior, and Sebas had to end things there.

"I understand. Then I shall take my leave, floor guardians." The elder, but wise and stout butler bid them farewell for the time being and gave them a brief bow before turning and heading off to find either of you.

After taking his leave, Demiurge's attention was drawn elsewhere when he noticed one of the floorguardians in a strange position. You noticed as well and raised a brow in wonder as Shalltear was on her knees on the ground once again, but she was trembling strangely with her head lowered.

"Is something wrong, Shalltear?" Demiurge asked his fellow guardian in wonder of what she was doing as the others turned in curiosity.

"What is it, Shalltear?" Cocytus asked in his raspy, wondering tone as she raised her head to reveal she was still smiling and her blush had darkened a bit further.

"Th-Their amazing presence has excited me so much that my underwear has gone through a near dire crisis..." Shalltear admitted as you were left flabbergasted with your jaw hanging in disbelief and the others were unsure as well how to respond to such a statement, but there was someone who had something to say to this...

"You bitch!" You flinched and tensed up as you saw Albedo's pleasured face turn to one of distaste and anger as an ominous purple aura emitted from her while she didn't even stare at Shalltear who knelt behind her.

"What?! We just received so much of our Lords's energy! We got such a reward!" Shalltear said with an irritated smile as she quickly sorted herself out and stood up before glaring at daggers at Albedo and unleashing her vampire aura.

"A girl who doesn't get wet from something like that is crazy, you wide-mouthed gorilla!" She screamed back as Albedo turned to her with a terrifying stance that made you wide-eyed.

"YOU LAMPREY!" Albedo yelled in fury as Shalltear smiled with killer lust as her fangs were bared and her eyes glowed bright red.

"I was created to look this way by the supreme beings." Shalltear countered back at Albedo about her looks.

"That's the same for me, you know?!" Albedo retorted as their power further filled the arena with dust being kicked up around them.

"What the hell?! I just wanted to pick up my Blade of the Dragon From Hell! Why are they fighting over us?! Even if we concede to their desires for us, there's two of us! Can't they just decide who they'll go after one of us and the other will chase the one that's left?! Are they trying to monopolize us?!" You thought in disbelief of the sight in front of you.

"Aura, I'll leave the issues between women to other women." Demiurge said with a humorous tone as the twins turned back to him and Aura was stunned.

"Hey, Demiurge! Are you planning on making me take care of this?!" Aura said in disbelief of being given the short end of the stick as the Demon turned around and walked off to the side.

"If something happens, I'll intervene." Demiurge waved his best wishes to Aura as Mare hesitated for a moment, but followed after him as Cocytus chose to stay out of women's business as well.

"Goodness. Is this really something worth fighting over? There's two of them, as well, they should be satisfied with either one." Cocytus said as you were surprised he was thinking the same thing.

"Thank you, Cocytus!" You mentally thanked him.

"Cocytus!" Aura was shocked that even he was leaving with the rest of the males as she turned to the mess Albedo and Shalltear were in with a confused and awkward look on how to handle it, while the men of the guardians conversed among themselves.

"Personally, I'd be really interested in the result." Demiurge said with an interested smile across his face as Mare hummed in wonder of what he meant. "It would be a great addition to our forces and for the future of Nazarick." Demiurge suggested as Mare still struggled to understand his implications.

"Wh-What do you mean?" Mare asked in wonder as Demiurge was a bit surprised he didn't understand what he was talking about, but was more than happy to explain.

"Great rulers should have heirs, right?" Demiurge said as Mare hummed again while trying to listen carefully. "Lord Momonga and Lord P/N stayed behind until the end. But, they may leave for another place like the others someday. It would be nice if they left supreme ones we could pledge our fidelity to in their place." Demiurge explained as Mare was starting to come around while Albedo and Shalltear were at each others throats while mouthing off to one another.

"Um, s-so you mean that one of them would give birth to our Lord's heir?" Mare asked if his fidings were correct as Cocytus became invested in this conversation as well.

"What kind of blasphemy are you spouting?!" Cocytus demanded to know why Demiurge would think you or Momonga would abandon them like the others did.

"But, wouldn't it be nice to pledge ourselves to Lord Momonga and Lord P/N's descendant, too?" Demiurge said with a intriguing tone as Cocytus's anger was quelled and instantly replaced with thoughts of surprise and excitement at the thought of young supreme beings running around the Great Tomb.

"That would be nice...No, that would be wonderful. What a wonderful situation!" Cocytus proclaimed while imagining lifting the two children of the final Supreme Beings with both sets of his arms. "Ahh, to be called uncle! And the children would ride on my shoulders sometimes..." Cocytus's imagnation was now beginning to run wild as he wandered off on his own in excitement, and you watched unsure how to react to all this stuff about 'heirs' being made.

"By the way, Mare." Demiurge addressed the dark elf boy as Mare turned back to him in wonder. "Why are you dresssed as a girl?" He asked in interest of the choice of clothing he was wearing.

"Th-This is something that Bukubuku Chagama-sama chose for me. Um, she said I was an 'otoko no ko', so I-I'm pretty sure that I'm supposed to be a boy." Mare said in certainty of his gender while you were silently hitting your head against the pillar you hid behind.

"Bukubuku Chagama-san did have a taste crossdressing...It's only natural someone like Demiurge would be confused by this..." You thought before hiding further behind the pillar as Cocytus came a little too close while daydreaming about his days as an uncle with yours and Momonga's children riding atop his shoulders.

"Then perhaps, all young boys in Nazarick are supposed to be dressed like that." Demiurge said in wonder if this was how all young males were supposed to be dressed, but decided to move on and not think too heavily on such a seemingly trivial manner during this time. "Now, Cocytus. Come back to reality, please." He called to the armored warrior as Cocytus was walking back to them while rubbing his head from daydreaming too long.

"What a wonderful scene. That is truly a scene to wish for." Cocytus said as he rejoined the men.

"Good for you." Demiurge said as he figured things between the women had gone long enough and should have settled now. "Albedo! Shaltlear! Are you both still fighting?" He called from across the arena as Aura turned around while the girls had their aura's disappear.

"They finished fighting. Right now, they're..." Aura trailed off as Shalltear decided to finish that sentence for her.

"We are deciding who the head wife will be." Shalltear stated with a tired smile as Albedo followed suit with her own.

"It would be strange if the absolute rulers of Nazarick only had one wife. This way, if one of us is busy pleasing one of them, the other may call upon the latter. However, it has yet to be decided who will be their official wife." Albedo said the tension between them calmed down a little, but you were slumped on the ground against your hiding place staring up at the fake sky.

"...Oh boy, we're in trouble..." You muttered to yourself in worry of yourself and Momonga.

"That is a very interesting matter, but will you give us our orders first?" Demiurge asked as he brought things back to the main priority and Albedo rearranged herself to a proper manner while fixing her hair.

"Right. You're right. Shalltear, we shall discuss this at length at another time." Albedo said as the vampire had no objections to the notion.

"I have no problems with that." Shalltear agreed as it was time for the floor guardians to carry out their orders.

"Then, let us begin with the plans." Albedo stated as she began listing out orders and goals for the floor guardians to follow.

You waited a bit longer for the right time to come and get your sword, and after some minutes had passed, you noticed the floor guardians begin to disperse to carry out their missions. You used a race skill from a previous race level and camoflaged yourself to ensure the floor guardians didn't notice you. Once they had all left the arena, you unstealthed and walked out of your hiding spot while face palming. 

"Jeez...Just what in the world have we gotten into?" You said in wonder as you walked over to where your blade was stabbed into the ground and took hold of the hilt. "What's with the talk about heirs, anyway? Momonga is a bag of bones, and me..." You trailed off as you stretched your loin cloth out and peered into the abyss below to check for treasure, but you were only met with darkness as you collapsed to your knees with a dejected face. "...I just had to stay true to biology and leave nothing there, didn't I? The worst part is...I still feel my libido is intact...!" You said in disappointment and frustration of yourself while clenching your right fist in frustration before your Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown activated and you were teleported to your personal room as you stood up and stored your blade back in inventory. "However, now that we're here..." You trailed off as you looked around at your room.

It was a very large room with a massive, and well-refined bed for you to sleep on, adorned with curtains for privacy. The room was dimly lit with a blue hue and blue torches for a cool and soothing tone so that whenever you got back from a raid or other special activity in Yggdrasil, you could cool off and relax instantly. There was a chandelier that hung in the middle of the room that was covered in special minerals that glowed white whenever you wanted them on, but at this current time the darker tone of the room was what your desired. The floor was covered in charcoal black carpet and accented with thin gold trimmings that ran in symetrical lines for differing decorative designs. Along the walls however were empty, evenly spaced, spaces or slots in the wall that were about the size to fit you perfectly standing up. They were sunken into the wall at a curve a bit and had white lights shining down all the way to the ground, a total of eight slots all together. You looked at one of the slots on the left wall deep in thought before coming to a decision and using the ring of Ainz Ooal Gown once again, teleporting to a different location. You decided to teleport to one of the equipment rooms on a different floor of Nazarick to fetch some equipment that you would need for your room, and remembered it was stored in the guild's collective inventory. Once you appeared in the room, you were surprised by the sight of Momonga who happened to be in the same place, along with one of the Pleiades that you recognized as Narberal Gamma.

"Lord P/N." Narberal was surprised when you appeared and bowed her head to you as you turned to see Momonga, and at his feet was one of the common great swords that never really got used by any of the members of the guild once they became high enough levels for special weapons.

"What are you doing?" You asked Momonga in confusion as you walked over to him while Narberal went and picked up the sword for your boney friend.

"Testing a few things." Was all Momonga said as he turned back forward. "Create Greater Item!" Momonga used one of the more handy spells at his arsenal as he donned a new set of attire.

Using this spell, you watched as Momonga was cladded in raven black armor that had gold accents along each piece of armor and a single slit in his fully closed helmet that hid his red piercing eyes. Around his neck and right shoulder was a flowy, red cape, one that you were familiar, while the areas that didn't have armor due to the need of remaining manueverable, he wore thick, protective clothing.

You watched as he turned to Narberal, who was offering the sword to him, and after imbuing it with a green glow from his hand briefly, he was able to pick the weapon back up and swing it forward, stopping short of the glass cabinet in front of him. The force from his swing was strong and intense enough to create great wind pressure and for the air to swirl around the room for a few moments before calming.

"Not bad." You said to him as Momonga turned to the mirror on his side and looked at himself in wonder.

"Just like in Yggdrasil, it seems that any items created by magic are usable." Momonga said before turning back to you in wonder. "Onto other matters, what brings you here?" He asked as you walked over to cabinet behind him.

"I was looking for something." You said as you opened the double closet and an inventory portal appeared.

Reaching your hand inside, you grabbed onto something and realized that it was the exact thing you were looking for, and upon pulling it out, Narberal was surprised when you suddenly pulled out a gold statue of yourself standing up straight and your hands slightly open. The size of the statue was one to one exactly with yourself as you placed it on the floor and eyed it up and down before nodding. 

"Alright..." You muttered before turning back to the maid on the side. "Narberal, there are several more stands like this that I would like you and a few others to relocate to my room." You said as Narberal walked up an eyed it in awe.

"Please enlighten me as to what this beautiful piece of work is, Lord P/N?" Narberal said while walking around in wonder of the statue.

"It's an armor stand." You said as Narberal looked at you in surprise.

"Armor?" Narberal said in wonder.

"That's right. You used to use different sets whenever we were raided or when you went out for other things. You're bringing them out again?" Momonga asked as you patted your gold statue on the shoulder.

"Yeah. I put them away thinking I wasn't gonna need them anymore. Turns out that they'll be of use to me for a bit longer than anticipated." You said before turning back to Momonga with a grin. "Good thing I rolled on those thousand yen gacha's to get these things." You said as Momonga sighed while shaking his head while Narberal was confused as to what 'gacha' was and how 'rolling' worked.

"I remember you saying you lost nearly 12 pounds due to food shortage, which is something not to brag about. Goodness..." Momonga said before walking a few steps forward and turning to the maid next to you. "Narberal, I'm going to go out for a bit." He informed his current watcher as Narberal assumed a proper standing position with her hands in front of her and clasped respectfully under her waist.

"The guards have already been prepared." Narberal informed him, but Momonga had other ideas.

"No, I will go alone." Momonga said as this was instantly conflicting with Narberal's orders and wishes.

"Please wait! Lord Momonga, if you go alone, we cannot perish as your shields if something were to happen." Narberal protested to leaving her master's side as she wished to keep him from any harm that may approach.

"There is something I want to do discreetly. I will not allow anyone to accompany me." Momonga said while handing the great sword to Narberal, who took the blade in her hands with a conflicted look in her eye.

"Don't worry, Narberal." You spoke up as she raised her head to you while you planted your scaly hand on Momonga's plated shoulder. "I'll watch out for him. If it's defense we're talking about, there's no one better suited for that than me." You reassured her as Narberal was surprised, but was ultimately fine with that decision.

"I understand." Narberal finished with a bow as you and Momonga both teleported away and reappeared on the first floor of the tomb next to a set of stairs that led to the masoleum.

"This is so freaking tiring." Momonga said through his closed helmet as you two turned to climb up the stairs.

"Right? However, if we wanna retain any for of friendliness with them, we have to keep up this 'Supreme Being' act." You said as the two of you marched up the stairs at a leisure pace. "By the way, how's that suit of armor going for you? Finally decided to come over to the warrior side?" You jested to him.

"Don't be ridiculous. I chose magic caster for a reason. Well, I can't use magic in this armor, but I'll make do with my items." Momonga responded to you as the two of you made it to the top of the stairs, but what awaited ahead of you was shocking.

Standing at the top of the staircase were three of what most normal humans would call the most terrifying monsters anyone could ever see, but to you and Momonga, even though you were shocked, you recognized these NPC's. Starting from the left was a monster that maybe two feet taller than eithee of you, had a slim, yet just the right amount of curves of a female body, and was wearing black leather bondage gear for clothing that accentuated its large breasts. What made it strangely grotesque however was the fact that it had the head of a crow which was covered by a bondage mask, and from its forearms down, were just feathered wings. The next monster in the middle was a type of demon that wore open armor in front to display a wonderful set of abs, had long bat wings on its back, horns spprouting from either temple of its head, and long red hair to accentuate its male beauty. The last monster was truly frightening to look at, as it had a hideous face with fangs, their body covered in scales and arms equipped with sharp claws. It had long snakelike tails and fiery wings of flame, fitting the image of what a person would imagine an Demon to be. They were Evil Lord Envy, Greed, and Wrath. You and Momonga were confused and surprised by what these Evil Lords, which were supposed to be located on the 8th floor of Nazarick, were doing here on the first floor of the Masoleum.

"Huh? What are Demiurge's three demon generals doing here?" You muttered in confusion, but as if upon reaction of speaking his name, around from Wrath came Demiurge himself who noticed someone new had arrived to this floor. "Eh? Demiurge?" You muttered in surprise.

"Lord P/N." Demiurge walked in front of his generals and immediately went down on one knee as the other demons followed suit and lowered their heads, but Demiurge looked again in wonder at the person in armor, before instantly recognizing who it was. "Lord Momonga. The two of you came here without any guards?" He asked in confusion of why you and Momonga were unaccompanied by any protection. "And that armor..." He trailed off in wonder of why Momonga was wearing such a thing instead of his usual garments as you two looked at each other in wonder of how to address this situation.

"I'm surprised he knew it was you..." You whispered to Momonga.

"No, the only people who can freely teleport within Nazarick is someone who has a guild ring. Of course he knew." Momonga replied as you caught on to that notion as well before you both turned back to him. "Well, there's a reason for all this." Momonga started as Demiurge looked perplexed for a moment, but then his face turned to one of understanding.

"So that's how it is." Demiurge suddenly replied with a response that you two weren't expecting.

"Huh?" You and Momonga thought the same thing as Demiurge looked to you both.

"As expected of rulers, your attention to detail is impeccable." Demiurge said as if he had an epiphany and realized your grand plans, which of course neither of you had.

"Huh? What? I just wanted to go outside and get some air!" Momonga thought in confusion of what Demiurge could be thinking, as his reason for going out was such a simple one.

"I don't know how much longer I can stay in this place with interactions like this..." You thought to yourself before taking a step forward. "Well, now that you've reached the conclusion we hoped you would, me and Momonga will be on our way." You said as you were about to lead Momonga to head out, but Demiurge spoke up suddenly in resistance.

"I understand that you may punish me for speaking out against you, Lord P/N, however, I cannot allow you two to go out without anyone accompanying you." Demiurge riskedly spoke out against yours and Momonga's wishes and made you looked to your armored friend as he decided to address this scenario.

"Then I will allow just one to accompany us." Momonga said through his closed helmet as he joined your side and the two of you walked ahead, passing Demiurge as he lowered his head gratefully.

"Thank you very much for accepting my selfishness." Demiurge said as he rose to his feet and followed a few paces behind you, matching each step to ensure no distance was lost and that he wouldn't be intruding in yours or Momonga's space.

The three of you walked further and further ahead through the masoleum before the sound of wind became more audible and the echoes from your steps began to dampen out. The darkness of the abyss-like hall you were walking through was slowly beginning to brighten and in a few more steps, you walked into the moonlight of the true outside world where you and Momonga were met with an unbelievably beautiful starry sky. Your mouth was left slightly agape while Momonga's eyes brightened with its red color as the two of you were astonished by the stars above. Taking in a deep breath, the cool air of night was crisp and refreshing as you felt the wind gently glide across your scales. Noticing that Momonga was reaching into his item space, you watched as he pulled out an item, a necklace of sort with a wing ornament dangling under his neck as he put it over and around his head. Seeing where he wished to go, you reached into your own inventory and pulled out a similiar necklace, donning the piece of jewlery as you both activated its skill.

"Fly!" You and Momonga chanted as it glowed brightly and the two of you gained the ability to fly at incredible speeds. 

Within moments, you and Momonga both left the comforts of the ground and sped up towards the sky in haste to gain a better view. While you two were quick to leave, Demiurge had to use a different form of means to take to the sky. Turning himself into a half-demon form, he sprouted black wings that looked like they were made of a slimy membrane, and his face shifted into the form vaguely reminiscent of a frog. Whilst Demiurge tried to catch up, you and Momonga soared towards and through the clouds at high speeds before breaking through above them as you went wide-eyed in shock and Momonga ripped off his helmet to take a look at the view as well. Momonga's helmet dissipated into small particles and disappeared and the two of you were captivated by the sight of the planet below as the lands stretched farther than you could see, and the light from the moon illuminated nearly all of it for you both to admire.

"I can see so far with just the light from the moon and stars." Momonga said as you smiled in awe of everything ahead of you.

"Blue Planet-san would've loved to see this with his own eyes..." You said as Momonga nodded in agreement to that notion.

"The stars in the sky are glittering like a box of jewels." Momonga spoke as you two marveled at the beauty of the world and the stars that surrounded it.

"I believe this world shines so that my lords can adorn themselves with its riches." You two heard from behind you both as you turned to see Demiurge had caught up and was floating in the air thanks to his wings while you and Momonga stared at one another for a moment before your skeleton friend spoke.

"Hm. That may be true. We may have come to this land to obtain this box of treasures. No, it's not something we should hoard for ourselves. Perhaps, this is so we can adorn Nazarick and our friends of Ainz Ooal Gown with it." Momonga said as Demiurge lowered his head and placed his demonic hand across his chest.

"If you two wish it, we will use all the forces of Nazarick to obtain it for you." Demiurge said as you and Momonga found this amusing.

"How bold of you, Demiurge. To do such things when we don't even know what exists or is roaming out there?" You said as you and Momonga instinctively turned to the moon and you had a longing gaze of wonder and intrigue as the next thing you said struck a chord in Demiurge. "Well, taking over the world might be something to look forward to." You said as Demiurge was left speechless and frozen in awe of your words as the two of you turned away and Momonga leaned over to whisper.

"Hey, there's no way we'd be able to do something like that." Momonga said while slightly pressing your side with his elbow.

"Haha, I was just saying that, nothing more." You said as you both looked down to the land again in wonder.

"Even so, are we really the only ones who came here from Yggdrasil? My message skill didn't reach anyone, but it might be because they're too far away or the effects of the magic have changed." Momonga said as you looked out to the dark horizon in the distance. 

"If that's so, if we can spread the name of Ainz Ooal Gown throughout this world, it might just be possible..." You trailed off as the two of you were deep in thought of wondering if there were other players, but something caught your attention as a commotion was happening back on the ground near the tomb.

You and Momonga looked down to see waves of dirt and earth ripping through the ground like waves as they barreled towards the outer walls of Nazarick. Within moments, a large majority of the tomb had been covered by the waves of dirt and began to mask it as a hill formation, but it wasn't enough to make the walls crumble as they held firm against the force. 

"Earth Surge. On top of that, he's using a skill to increase his magic range and his own class skills to amplify it as well." Momonga commented as you and him looked to see Mare was taking care of the responsibility he was given earlier.

"He doesn't act like it, but Mare is very dependable." You praised the dark elf boy as Mare held out his staff with a green glow on the end of his tool as he continued to shape the area to better conceal Nazarick.

"My Lords. May I ask what you plan to do?" Demiurge asked in wonder of your next course of action as you two looked at one another before turning back to your aid.

"We'll go visit Mare while he is working. What do you think we should give him as a reward?" Momonga asked Demiurge for some input.

"I am sure that he will be happy just to have either of you speak to him." Demiurge insisted that anything from you two would be more than enough to make the guardians the happiest they could ever be.

"Yes." Momonga said as he put his hand to his skull and summoned his helmet back before you three ventured downward.

The shifted ground that had covered Nazarick began to grow grass and other forms of greenery thanks to the help of Mare, and while he was working the three of you landed to the right of him as he took notice and grew a happy smile.

"Oh! Ahaha! Lord Momonga! Lord P/N!" Mare cheered with joy as you walked forward with your hands out.

"Come here, Mare!" You said as he ran up to you and with one swift swoop, you hoisted Mare off his feet and spun around a few times, making him giggle before you sat him on one arm.

"Why are you two here?" Mare asked in wonder before he grew a slightly worried look on his face. "Did I make a mistake?" He asked nervously.

"No, Mare. Your work to prevent others from finding Nazarick is very important." Momonga said in reassurance of Mare's work.

"Y-Yes." Mare said as you walked him over to be closer to Momonga, making him look at you two in wonder of what you were going to do.

"That's why, Mare. I wanted you to know just how satisfied we are." Momonga said as Mare understood what he was saying and your intentions of being where he was working.

"Yes, Lord Momonga!" Mare nodded as Momonga turned to you and gave you a small nod with his head as you returned the action and looked to Mare.

"Mare, look." You said as Mare saw you lift your free hand and in your palm appeared a golden ring with a red crystal that shone with the symbol of Nazarick engraved into it. "This is yours." You said with a warm look in your eyes as the dark elf boy was beyond shocked.

"Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown! This is an item that only the supreme beings are allowed to wear, so I can't possibly accept it--Oh?" Mare grew confused when your tail suddenly appeared behind him and began patting him on the head to help calm him down.

"Don't get too worked up, Mare. Moving from floor to floor in Nazarick is limited, but with this, you can move freely however you wish." You said as you shifted him onto your tail for him to sit while you took one of his hands and put the ring on his finger as it shrunk to size, amazing Mare as he looked at you two with the biggest smile he's shown so far.

"Th-Thank you very much! I will be sure to work hard to live up to s-such a treasure!" Mare exclaimed as you lowered him to the ground and walked back over to Momonga's side.

"We're depending on you, Mare." Momonga said to the dark elf who stood happy with the gift he just received.

"Yes! Um, by the way, Lord Momonga. Why are you dressed like that?" Mare asked in wonder of why he was fashioned in a suit of armor.

"W-Well, that is..." Momonga was unsure how to answer him as you leaned forward with a mischevious glint in your eye.

"Momonga-san wanted to try being a warrior like me and the other Supreme Guardians, so he decided to throw on some armor and act the part. So cool, right?" You said in a teasing manner as Mare took your words seriously.

"Y-Yes!" Mare said as he began clapping, followed by Demiurge, who had revereted back to his usual appearance.

"P/N...!" Momonga spoke in a calm, but sightly frustrated tone in response to your teasing manner as you just chuckled in amusement.

"Fufufufu~ Such antics are one of the things I love about you two. However, it's simple, Mare." All of you heard another voice join the conversation suddenly as a few black feathers began raining down from the air and you all turned to see Albedo had arrived with her wings spread as she slowly descended towards you all with the moon behind her accentuating her beauty. 

"Albedo." Demiurge spoke in surprise of seeing the Captain of the Floor Guardians outside the tomb.

"Lord Momonga didn't want to bother his subordinates while they were working. If we knew that Lord Momonga was here, everyone would stop what they were doing just to bow down to his greatness." Albedo said as she walked forward and stood in front of you both with a gentle smile on her face. "Isn't that right, Lord Momonga?" She asked intuitively as Momonga decided to roll with it.

"As expected of Albedo! You know just what I'm thinking." Momonga praised her.

"As the elader of the floor guardians, this much is expected. No, even if I didn't have this title, I am confident that I woulder understand your feelings. Yours, as well, Lord P/N." Albedo said as she gave you and Momonga her equal attention and love.

"I-I see." Mare said as he raised his hands in understanding.

However, Mare moving his hands into the light of the moon would prove to be a fatal error you or Momonga couldn't have predicted. Once light had struck and reflected off the crystal of the ring Mare wore, Albedo noticed within possibly microseconds as the gentle and kind look in her eyes had suddenly shifted to that of a ravenous and rageful monster while letting out a gasped shock. Seeing this for a moment, you and Momonga flinched and tensed up while Albedo had just as quickly regained her composure and turned back to you both with her gentle smile once again, thoug her eyes were slightly more narrow and a bit more fierce.

"Is something the matter?" Albedo asked in wonder as you had instinctively shuffled behind Momonga, leaving him to deal with this problem.

"N-No, it's nothing." Momonga said as he turned back to Mare. "Right. Then, Mare. Sorry for interrupting you. Return to your work." Momonga said as he dismissed Mare from the conversation.

"Y-Yes. Then, excuse me, my Lords." Mare said as he bowed to you both respectfully, but before leaving, he leaped onto you with a big hug.

"Huh?! Mare?" You exclaimed in shock.

"HNGH!?!?!" You and Momonga heard a feral growl and flinched again to turn and look at Albedo, who strangely seemed calm and acted unaware of such noise.

"I-I get it, Mare...!" You said nervously as you quickly hugged him and patted him on the back before ushering him to go back to work as he waved at you both before heading off, leaving you two in a tense situation.

"That's right. We should give one to you as well, Albedo." Momonga said as Albedo turned her head to him, this time her smile seemed a bit more snake-shaped and her eyes narrowed even further, making a shiver run down from your back to the tip of your tail.

"Give me one of what?" Albedo asked as she pretened to be unaware of what he was talking about, and gazed at you both as Momonga held out his hand and summoned another ring of Ainz Ooal Gown in his hand.

"As the administrator of the guardians, you need this item as well." Momonga said as Albedo gently took the ring and hovered her free hand under the jewel for safety as she bowed her head to you two.

"Thank you very much." Albedo said as you peered over Momonga's shoulder, and you both grew nervous expressions when her smile contorted once again, with her top row of teeth showing through an unsettling grin. "Nghhe...~" She let out a strange noise under her breath as her body suddenly began trembling and her breaths became erratic with every passing moment, signalling it was time for you two to go.

"M-Momonga-san...!" You whispered to him with an urge to leave.

"W-Work diligently for us." Momonga said before turning his head to Demiurge who stood by the entire time. "Demiurge, we will prepare one for you another day." He said as Demiurge bowed to you both.

"I understand. I will work hard to be worth of such a ring." Demiurge said as he was willing to wait patiently and work hard to earn such a gift from you two.

"Then, we have done what we planned to do. We will return before we get into trouble." Momonga said as you held onto his shoulder with your hands and the two of you teleported away as Albedo could no longer contain her inner feelings and let loose.

"ALL RIIIIIIIIIIGHT!!!!!!!!!" Albedo's scream of victory and joy and echoed through the night as the first evening in this new world came to a close.

After establishing some temporary, but well-established defenses, you slept off the night and spent half of the next day arranging things in your room on the 9th floor of Nazarick where all the other members of the guild had their rooms. The spaces in your walls were no longer empty, but now had an armor stand of yourself in each slot as each statue was decorated with different sets of armor. There various and different designs of each armor with their own best-in-slot weapons for each set and the passives and durabilities of each suit were meant for different scenarios you would prepare for during different types of raids. While you were admiring your different treasures that you spent countless hours to collect, there was still something you felt that you needed to do. Walking up to your bed, you raising your hand towards it and summoned a red magic circle in front of your palm before a spell activated and the entire bedframe dropped half a foot into the ground. Slowly the entire bed began to sink into the ground, along with the piece of wall that was behind it and once the roof of the bed became a floor for you to walk over, you stepped forward a few paces to a secret compartment that you had for a set of armor that you deemed your greatest treasure. A massive set of charcoal black armor lined with scaled plates and a dark red crystal in the center of the chest plate. The gauntlets were armed with claws atop the knuckles and the feet were squared and blunt for brutish striking. Attached to the base of the neck plate was a smoldering black cape and the finishing touch that you were able to freely shape yourself out of all the pieces was a draconic like helmet that you personally shaped to be modeled after the Heisei Series of Godzilla's head, with the mouth closed to keep the helmet closed. Looking at this armor, you remembered the reason for it being your most prized possesion, as you desired for a set of armor that would act almost like an antithesis to that of one of your dear friends, Touch Me-san, who was the embodiment of justice and purity amongst the guild members.

"I remember showing this off to Touch-san when I first got it. He was actually really impressed and wanted to try it on, but our alignment levels were too different to wear each other's armors." You said to yourself as you opened your item space and reached into its void.

Pulling your hand out from your inventory, you brought out your Blade of the Dragon From Hell and glanced over it briefly before looking at the empty weapon mantle that was positioned above the armor. Taking it into both hands, you reached up and placed your strongest weapon above your strongest set of armor and stepped back as the slot glistened with a white glow as the eyes of the armor illuminated and a feint Gojira roar lingered through the air around it. Once you had completed the set, you stepped back and sealed it back away as your bed rose from the ground once more, concealing it from anyone who would walk into your room while you were away. 

"I'm confident in my skills as a tank, but if anything were to happen to me, I don't want these to fall in the hands of those who would harm Momonga or any other memers of Nazarick. If anything does happen to me, too, Momonga knows what to do with them when I'm gone..." You thought to yourself as the idea alone unsettled you, but you shook it off and turned to the wall on your right. "Though, I'm still gonna need something to use." You said as you walked over to the sets or armor on your right and looked up at the weapons above each set of armor before your eyes landed on one and you thuoght you'd try it out. "This'll do." You muttered as you reached up and pulled your desired weapon off the wall as a knock came from your door.

"Lord P/N. It is Yuri Alpha." You heard the second-in-command of the Pleiades speak from outside your door as you had already hidden your new weapon of choice in your item space as the void closed and you walked towards the door, opening it to find the well-mannered and reliable Big Sister of the Pleiades waiting for you as she tilted her head up with a kind smile. "I've arrived to escort you wherever you wish to travel." She said with a very adult and responsible tone.

"Thank you. Then, let's head over to where Momonga is." You said as the Dullahan maid bowed her head before turning around and walking towards the destination you had in mind while you trailed behind Yuri Alpha.

Leading you through the 9th floor, which was designated as the Royal Chambers, Yuri Alpha brought you through a hallway that was lined with different rooms on each side and your destination was the room at the very end of the hall. The double doors at the end were the entrance to Momonga's room, which was also known as the Guild Master's chambers, and Yuri Alpha knocked twice on the door before one of them opened and Sebas walked out one step to see you and Yuri had arrived.

"Lord P/N. Please, enter." Sebas greeted you kindly as he opened the door fully while Yuri opened the other door for you.

"Thank you, Sebas." You said as you walked pass the two and saw Momonga sat at the larger desk in the center of the room as he fiddled around with a magic mirror of sorts, waving his boney fingers around. "What are you doing?" You asked as Momonga glanced at you for a moment before going back to what he was doing.

"This is the Mirror of Remote Viewing. I'm surveying the area near us." Momonga said as you walked around his chair and stood on his right as you looked to see the outside world was being displayed on the mirror, and that he was in fact scouting out the nearby area. "Oh?" He muttered as the mirror seemingly beeped in response to his inputs.

"Hmmm? Pretty cool." You said while looking closer at the mirror, but the sounds of a pair of applause interrupted your thoughts as you two turned to see Sebas and Yuri clapping their hands.

"Congratulations, Lord Momonga." Sebas congratulated his master for such a trivial and small accomplishment.

"Congratulations." Yuri Alpha repeated as the pair stopped clapping their hands.

"Thank you, both of you. Sorry for making you do this with me." Momonga apologized for having them stand by idly while he fiddled away at his items.

"Staying beside our masters and following their orders, that is the butler which Lord Touch Me created and my reason for existence." Sebas justified his reasoning for standing by idly while his master performed what he thought were important tasks.

"Yes. We will always be ready and waiting for your next orders." Yuri said as Momonga looked to you and you just gave him a small shrug, unsure how he should respond to them.

"I see." Momonga finished that topic as he turned back to the mirror with you watching closely. "Now, let's search for areas where there might be people." Momonga said as he hovered his hands out towards the mirror and the image moved to capture a village down below.

There was something strange about this village however as you and Momonga looked closer and saw how strange the inhabitants of the village were moving, almost eratically and wild with no sense of direction.

"A festival?" Momonga said in wonder of such a commotion for the village to be in.

"No, that is not." Sebas said as he stepped forward and looked at the mirror as Momonga shifted his hands and zoomed in the mirror to a perspective that matched its inhabitants.

Now looking through the mirror in the perspective of a person who would be in the area, you and Momonga watched as the humans were running around in a panic while knights in armor ran around on foot and horses, swinging their swords violently. Blood and bodies began to fill the small dirt paths as the knights ruthlessly slaughtered whoever they could catch, women and children included.

"No matter how you look at it, those aren't just normal bandits. What are knights doing slaughtering a village? Think its some form of crusade?" You said in wonder as Momonga swiped to change the image a few times before zooming in on a man being hauled out of a home by three knights, while a woman laid dead outside in front of him before he himself was stabbed in the back.

"Huh? Something is wrong." Momonga thought as he came to a realization that the way he was reacting to this slaughter was not how he expected to react. "I would have felt faint if I saw this before I came to this world. How can I watch all of this so calmly?" He thought as he turned his head slightly and glanced at you while you continued to watch the mirror. "What is P/N-san thinking right now?" Momonga wondered as he turned back to the mirror, but you two were left in wonder when the man that got stabbed just now spoke something, but since the mirror didn't allow sound, you two had no idea what or who he was talking about.

"What shall we do?" Sebas asked in wonder of your wisdoms towards this scene.

"Leave them. There's no reason or benefit for us to save them." Momonga suggested as yo uwere surprised by this notion, but didn't have any qualms against it either.

"Understood." Sebas responded as Momonga looked over at him, and the moment he laid eyes upon Sebas, in his mind he saw the image of his creator, Touch Me.

"Touch-san?!" Momonga muttered as you looked at him in confusion before glancing at Sebas and feeling the radiant aura of justness coming from him.

"Touch-san..." You thought to yourself as you remembered the first time you met Touch Me-san in Yggdrasil.

Flashback

Back in the world of Yggdrasil, in a dark gloomy forest, a group of players in various armors were ganging up and huddled around someone that they were beating on and trying to kill for loot and EXP. The person they were targeting was a lower leveled and underequipped Momonga as he was only dressed in a drab robe. The players raised their weapons to kill him, but before they could, the sound of slashes filled the air and they all went silent before disappearing one after the other, and within moments, they were gone. Momonga was in shock when he saw a lizard-man character wearing nothing a loin-cloth and wielding a rustic sword and shield, walk up to him and offer their scaly hand. This lizard-man character was you before your class changed as Momonga looked to you in wonder.

"Don't worry. The players that were around this area were dealt with already." You said as Momonga stared at you for some time before taking your hand as you pulled him to his feet.

"Did you do that?" Momonga asked as you shook your head.

"No, he did." You said as you moved out the way and revealed the real hero of the hour, Touch Me.

"He helped me earlier when I was about to get PK'd." You said as Momonga was left in awe of this incredible looking warrior.

"Why did you save me, a player you don't even know?" Momonga asked in wonder of his reasons.

"Saving someone who is in trouble is common sense!" Touch Me exclaimed in a heroic and brave tone while striking a pose as a few emoticons came out and bounced to accentuate his call for justice.

"He did the same thing when I asked, but he's a good guy." You said awkwardly as that was the story of you and Momonga encountered the World Champion, Touch Me.

Flashback Over

You chuckled while remembering how boisterous and heroic Touch Me would act whenever he was around, but it wasn't something you disliked about him. It seemed that Momonga also recalled the same memory as he briefly laughed in humor before looking back to the mirror as his mind was now made up.

"I assume we both have the same thought right now." You said as Momonga nodded at you and watched as a pair of girls were being chased into the forest by knights while you opened your inventory space and began to pull out objects that you'd need for what's to come.

"Sebas, we're going to this village." Momonga said as he stood up from his chair and you finished fetching the items you needed from your inventory. "Raise the security level of Nazarick to maximum." He ordered as the butler bowed his head.

"Yes." Sebas responded as you placed a silver wrist band on your left arm as a red gem shined in the center of it.

"Yuri Alpha. Inform Albedo and tell her to join us, fully equipped for combat. Prepare the reserve forces after that. Send in a squad of our forces who are skilled at stealth or have the invisibility skill." You ordered her as Yuri bowed her head forward.

"I understand, Lord P/N." Yuri said as you two watched the girls being attacked in the forest by the knights, one of them being cut in the back as you and Momonga gave each other a stare of acknowledgement before turning back to the mirror.

"Touch-san, we will repay our debt to you." Momonga muttered as he summoned the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown and activated a spell. "Gate." Momonga chanted as you and him were entered into a void, traveling to save those who you don't even know.
