1 1 - Maybe I'll graffiti some of the NPC's

A pale man wearing a black and white tribal looking armor with an equally tribal looking white mask with a long black mane and black swept-back horns sits at a round table. He waits around for a while before seeing the time on his HUD is now 11:00. He sighs deeply and stands up before kicking the table in front of him text pops up that says '0 PTS' then swiftly fades away.

"Damn it I was hopping Momonga would show up at least but he must have had a rough day at work. Well with only an hour to enjoy the world and nobody around to judge me might as well dick around as much as I can before the servers shut down… Maybe I'll graffiti some of the NPC's backstories and include myself one way or another. I suppose I'll take over as guild leader since it won't matter after the servers are shut down…" He said to himself feeling lonely. He walks up to the 'staff of Ains Ooal Gown' and grabs it as he leaves the room to wander the halls. He teleports all around guild finding all the NPC's he finds attractive and adding himself to their backstories.

After a fair amount of time, he grows bored of changing all the backstories and heads back to where he saw the Pleiades and stares at all of them for a couple of seconds before looking at Sebas Tian and opening his menu skimming through his backstory.

"Let's move you all about shall we? Follow." He said they all stop bowing and followed him to the throne room. He walks up to the throne and gazes upon it thinking this will be the last time he would be in this room. He looked over to the left of the throne and sees Albedo he had always loved her design and complemented Tabula on his creation of her on many occasions.

"Stand by." He said to the Pleiades. They all bowed for a moment then walked over to the side and stood in formation oldest to youngest. He decides to sit in Momonga's chair and opens Albedo's menu and speed reads it. He gets to the bottom and snickers. 'On the outside, she is a perfect beauty. By the way, on the inside, she's a bitch.'

"As amusing as that is from the rest of her backstory I think I might remove the last half and add something else… It would be rude for me not to change her backstory too… Let's see. How about 'She has always deeply respected and loved Lucius from the bottom of her heart… Heh, that's a bit cheesy but hey it won't matter here in a couple of minutes." He said staring at the staff he had used to edit all the backstories he looked at the time to see it is now 11:58. He stares at the time and reminisces about all the good times he's had with his friends.

"Bow down." Lucius said and they all quickly listened to his order. He watches the clock tick up… 11:59:58… 11:59:59… He closes his eyes and leans back in the chair he is slouching in. A couple of seconds pass his eyes shoot open and look all around rather confused. He then notices that his HUD has completely disappeared. He tried opening his menu but it was to no avail. Not much longer after he realizes everything feels far more real than it should and there's a faint floral scent wafting in the air. He quickly stands up as a light blue glow makes its way out of the eyeholes of his mask.

"What's the matter, Lord Lucius?" A woman's voice could be heard from the side of him. He turned to see Albedo looking up at him a confused expression. "My lord?"

"I-I uhm… Hmm… This is rather troubling." He barely managed to get out before sitting down he knocks onto the top of his head and feels a slight tinge of pain before he suddenly feels his heartbeats.

"What's happened, Lord Lucius? Is everything alright?" She said as he stared down at her watching her lips move and her far too complex expressions. He sighs deeply before shaking his head.

"This is a fucking isekai isn't it?" He said barely loud enough to be heard by albedo. She stands up and moves towards looking concerned.

"Please forgive me. I don't know what this 'Isekai' you speak of." She said as he leaned onto the arm of the chair trying to digest everything. "If you'll forgive my ignorance I would be forever grateful!"

'Okay so what exactly am I going to do…? Maybe it's just a dream? No, it's far too real to be one. If this really is one of those Isekai situations I need to focus on being one step ahead of everything and everyone.' He thought to himself before taking a deep breath.

"Sebas!" He shouted to get the butler's attention.

"Yes, lord?" He responded looking up to him.

"Scout the immediate area around the tomb and be on the lookout." Lucius said in a demanding tone.

"Understood Lord Lucius." Sebas said with a bow before exiting the room post-haste.

"As for the Pleiades return to the ninth floor and guard it against any intruders." Lucius then said looking at the Pleiades.

"As you wish, Lord Lucius" Yuri Alpha said before bowing her head with the rest of the maids and leaving the room. He looked over at Albedo for a moment

'Okay extra real they listened to my commands and responded quite radiantly. Shit, I'm going to have to use so much energy to hold up some sort of charade I just know it.' He thought to himself shaking of his tired feeling. He then looked to Albedo once again.

"What would you have me do Lord Lucius?" Albedo said with a smile as Lucius's gaze wandered her body.

"Come closer." Lucius said looking into her yellow eyes.

"Yes!" Albedo exclaimed as she bent over the chair to lean in closer to Lucius's mask. He grabs hold of her wrist and finds a pulse she moans lightly which made him raise an eyebrow. He then with his other hand felt a vein on her neck he then discovered the floral scent is coming from her. He feels her pulse is perfectly in sync on her neck and wrist. He lets go and makes a 'hmm'.

Lucius then decides on one final very… No absolutely important test. He grabs hold of her right breast and it completely confirms his theory he had from the beginning. He looks up at her face then finds himself lost in thought.

'The fact I'm being allowed to do this confirms my suspicions a player would never be allowed to do something like this due to the system they had in place to prevent any lewd actions to keep its rating... I would have been penalized like that one time I found that incredibly attractive dark elven woman.' He thought to himself before coming back to reality as Albedo moans loudly.

"OH! Sorry, I forgot I was groping you." He said giving her one last squeeze before letting go she breathed erratically as an unsettling smile grows on her face.

"You're going to take me for the first time here and now, right? What shall I do about my clothes? Should I remove them myself? Or would you like to remove them, Lord Lucius?" She said rather quickly.

"Oh god yes… I mean… No! Now isn't the time for that." Lucius said clearing his throat and standing up stretching shifts around finding his new height and body strange feeling.

"I-I'm very sorry!" Albedo said rather loudly.

"Sorry for what? You've done nothing wrong… Gather all of the floor guardians and have them meet me on the sixth floor's coliseum… Not Gargantua or Victim actually… And an hour or so from now." He said before looking down at his 'Ring of Ains Ooal Gown' and thinking of the sixth floor in one of the preparation rooms.

"Oh shit… The way she was acting suggests that her backstory has become real as well… I'm going to have so many women after me because of all that editing I did while teleporting around like a jackass." Lucius said to himself unsure about how he should feel about that.

He makes his way to the fighting arena thinking about the countless spells he now has completely memorized knowing their range cast time. He finally is in the fighting arena looking around not seeing either of the dark elf twins. He suddenly spots one of them jumping off a platform doing several front flips they land and smile brightly while posing with both hands making the peace sign. The dark elf then runs up to Lucius as fast as she could. He smiles beneath his mask and shakes his head.

"Hello, Aura." Lucius simply said.

"Welcome, Lord Lucius! Welcome to the floor which we guard!" Aura said brimming with energy.

"Now you say 'WE' but I'm not seeing Mare anywhere." Lucius said stretching and bumping his mask's horns.

"Mare! You're being rude to Lord Lucius! Hurry up and get down here!" Aura shouted while making rather erratic movements.

"I-I can't, sis…" Mare shouted in a nervous tone from the platform.

"Mare!" She shouted once again.

"F-Fine!" Mare shouted before jumping off the platform and having a rather awkward landing. After recovering from his landing he then awkwardly ran up to Lucius who sighs quietly.

"I-I am sorry for making you wait, Lord Lucius." Mare said in a nervous tone comparable to his body langue he has displayed as of yet.

"It's alright I guess. You were going as fast as you could after all." Lucius said snickering faintly. He then clears his throat and looks down at the pair. "I wanted to run a couple of tests due to some unique circumstances you'll hear about in a while from now… Would you please have some dummies set up? Just make sure there are a lot of them."

"Yes! We will prepare immediately!" Aura shouted filled with even more energy than before no doubt wanting to see Lucius at work.

"Oh, here in a little while all the guardians will be here." Lucius said still doing some stretches.

"Does that mean Shalltear is coming too?" Aura asked. The only response she got was Lucius nodding his head yes. Lucius looked up seeing two large lizard men placing dummies all around they walk up to Aura and Mare and standby.

Lucius steps to the side to get a clear view of the targets and thinks about what spells to use before he nods his head. He raises his hand up somewhat and a fiery magic sigil appears above his hand and over one of the targets. After a moment a ball of fire appears in his hand he then fires it off into the air and it curves downward and hits the target creating a small explosion.

"Alright, so that works as it should now then time to try out the greater and grand variants." Lucius said to himself as Aura and Mare look on with great interest. He once again raises his hand and the sigils appear once again as soon as the fireball appears he waits a moment longer and the fireball grows in size the sigils are now on three dummies compared to the one from before. He fires them directly at them this time and three fireballs hit the targets with greater force creating a bigger explosion.

He nods his head then once again raises his hand and charges up the same spell just longer than the other two the fireball in his hand is far larger than before and magic sigils appear on six dummies now and he once again fires it off the fireballs are much larger than before creating even larger explosions.

"I wish I knew magic like that…" Mare said quietly to him-self but Lucius just smirks.

"If I can teach you it I'll be sure to try as this form of magic has the potential to be stronger than other spells from the same tier this is merely a third-tier spell that jumps a tier each time it's charged up to a maximum of the fifth-tier." Lucius said with pride over his magic he got from a class unique to him. "Now then let's try something far flashier."

Lucius raises his hand like before and another fiery sigil appears but this one is far larger than the one he was using previously. It takes a long while before five orbs of fire float around behind him He gazes at them a moment before pointing his middle and index finger towards the remaining targets the orbs behind him each makes a 'ting' sound before disappearing. After a short, while red pulsating glow envelopes the targets for a split second before a massive ball of fire crashes down creating a massive explosion. Several more pulsating glows are seen before four more fireballs come crashing down creating explosions comparable to the first.

"Whoa! Your amazing Lord Lucius!" Aura shouted with a massive smile as Mare looks awestruck.

"Am I? Ha, of course, I am that's not even the strongest the spell can get! That was just ninth tier version I can let it charge for longer to make it tenth tier and if I wait much longer it becomes super tier." Lucius said feeling an immense amount of heat coming from the fireballs.

"Shesh that's rather hot… Here let's all drink something cold to stave off the heat shall we?" Lucius said stretching his arm out as a black void opens up in front of him as he pulls out a pitcher of lemonade and three glasses and poured the liquid into the glasses and handing two to the twins and one for him. He steps back to some nearby steps and sits down on them with one leg stretched out and one bent on a higher step. He then removes his mask and sets it down revealing his short crimson hair and pale blue eyes and a perpetual smile. Aura and Mare both stare at him in awe for whatever reason.

"Is there something on my face? Actually hold that thought… Message." Lucius said placing his hand up to his ear. First, he tries to reach any of his friends but no luck. Next, he tries connecting to Sebas which worked he heard a 'ding'.

"Yes. What is it, Lord Lucius?" Sebas's voice asked.

"Oh, it worked! Ahem, what is our situation?" Lucius asked looking up at the dark elf twins who both stare at him blushing for whatever reason.

"Well, there is a slight problem…" Sebas said in his formal tone.

"Well, that's not good… Come to the Sixth floor's coliseum and report what you've discovered all the guardians will be here." Lucius said finishing the call before taking a drink of his lemonade. He lets out a satisfied sigh as Aura and Mare come up to him.

"I thought you would be scarier, Lord Lucius" Aura said which made Lucius chuckle a bit.

"A face like this could never be scary… Well, that is if I have any reason not to smile." Lucius said still smiling as he finishes his drink quickly. He throws the glass onto the ground and shatters it. Shortly after the shards disappear Lucius smiles looks at the two. Aura and Mare finish their glasses and break them on the floor too but the shards don't disappear.

"Why'd you two do that?" Lucius said raising an eyebrow at the two as they scramble to pick up the shards but once they collect all of them the shards simply disappear and Lucius laughs a bit before patting the two on the head gently.

A gate suddenly opens which causes Lucius to stand up quickly and put his mask back on. He stands at the ready as Shalltear steps through with a smirk.

"My, am I the first?" She said looking around. Lucius sits back down realizing he went on guard for no reason.

'Wait… I just had a fantastical idea… I'll try it out later but if it works I might as well be a god.' He thought to himself his smile becoming wicked beneath the mask.
