3 Here I come, Overlord
---------------------
"Where is this place? and why is this bedroom so fancy, Wait!? ohh no! don't tell me that I got so drunk last night, that I ended up coming over to Stella's mansion!"
I panicked thinking that I hooked up with one of my exes last night. However, contrary to my expectation, The mansion had a medieval style, while Stella's one is more modern. Sighing in relief, I started looking around.
It appears that I'm currently on a luxury canopy bed, the subtle off-white coloring silk sheet expands as far as I can see, the tasteful thickness of the custom-made, baby alpaca wool waifu body pillow and OMG does this bed even has a massage function?
"....Best blackout experience ever <3"
The voice that I used to mutter to myself was strangely high compared to my usual rough and I wanna say manly and totally sexy voice. Also apparently I was wearing was a silky luster pajamas that mainly composed in black and decorated with gold highlights, I mean its handsome looking but I was definitely molested by the one who put it on me.
On top of that there was a long black hair shining like a velvet hanging down, which certainly was mine. When I turned my gaze towards a nearby full length mirror, what I saw looking back at me, was a handsome teenager with an asian heritage, his most defining feature was his long lustrous black and piecing brown asian eyes.
While I was stunned, there was a sound of someone knocking at the polished mahogany door of the bedroom.
"-Ok…"
I swallowed my words in an instant as I was going to say "occupied" on reflex.
"Excuse me young master Tian, I shall be making my way in"
There was a voice of greeting amid me being in this frustrating situation. The heavy looking wooden door which was around 3×2 meters was pushed open easily, and a good looking aged man with blue eyes and stunning grey hair came into the room.
The man appeared to be around his 50s and was dressed in a butlers uniform; it was enough to amaze me. He was beyond good looking and this tall fine glass of well-aged wine was floating a full throttle Colgate smile, it was almost like a weapon.
'No-no, I shall not cross "over that line" Dam this old man must've been one hell of a player back in his day. Seriously if I was a girl this is where I would fall in love'
Thinking such foolish things, in front of me the the butler placed his right hand on his chest, and genuflected like a knight. He brought down his head deeply and placed one foot forward.
"Good morning young master" he greeted in an english accent with his Alfred like voice (Batman's butler). My God, this guy is absolutely born to be a butler, all that's missing is his name being Sebastian.
"How do you do?" I inquired trying to gather enough information so that I could figure out who and where I am. But based on all the things happening around me I am sure that the event prior weren't just my imagination.
"I am quite excellent young master, thank you for asking. The master has ordered me to fetch you for breakfast. "
"Ok.. lead the way" Shit, isnt he too tight lipped, not even letting out any useful information.
But at least I now know that I may have a father, which begs the question, with my asian background; how should I greet him? ohaiyo outou san? hey dad? Ni Hao? Fuck hopefully I don't blow my cover.
We then made our way towards the dining room, passing corridors after corridors. 'Seriously how many rooms does a house even need! '
"Here we are young master" The butler announced as he pushed opened the pair wooden double doors leading towards a room.
"Good Morning Tian, nice to see that your joining as for breakfast, Thanks for getting him Sebastion" Another handsome middle aged man, which I'll presume is my dad greeted me, based on the slanted eyes he is clearly of asian decent, but his excellent American accent suggest that he regularly interacts with westerners.
"Morning bro, quick take a seat and let's eat" A young adult who resembles me but instead of my luscious locks, he has short spiky hair motioned to take a seat next to him.
"Good morning everyone, what's for breakfast?" I said as I walk towards the chair next to what I assume to be, elder brother. Fortunately, I can now finally rest easy knowing that my family speaks english as their main language.
"It is french style breakfast for today young master" Our perfect butler replied, but man, its a bit annoying that his name being off by one letter. Not it feels like we have a chinese knockoff of any generic butler.
"Ahh thanks Sebastion" Thanking my father silently, for slipping his name in the conversation earlier. I started to eat noticing that the my new family seems to enjoy eating in silence. Which is a good news to me.
------------
With an uneventful but nevertheless scrumptious breakfast, I made my way back into my room and so that I could experiment with the system.
"Aws are you there?"
[Yes, How can I help you host?]
"First what are you" Hoping that he would answer this vital question
[Host does not have enough priviledge to know]
"Thought so.....Alright next question, where are we and who am I currently?"
[We are in the Overlord world. Host you are currently situated on the outskirts of Shanghai, China. Also host you are the second son of, one of the richest Company in the world the Long corporation]
"...Fuck Yeah!!! This will be easier than I thought. All I have to do us swoop in when the dev announce that the game will be shut down, so in the end I could buy out all the uber gears and items at super low discounted prices bahahaha!" Laughing hysterically I started devising my plans on how shall proceed.
As I was excitedly pondering about how I would accomplished my goals and made a realization that led me to scold my stupid self. I have completly forgotten about AWS's existence.
"AWS do you have any other features, like quest, lottery, maps and so?"
[Affirmative]
[AWS]
Status
Quests
Locked: ]
"Why are there only 2 options?"
[Host needs to complete some quests to unlock the other functions]
I then mentally selected the Quest Function.
[Quest: Enter the Yggdrassil game
Reward: Novice box,unlock lottery function]
'So this is the AWS is talking about. If I finished this quest the lottery function will be unlocked, looks like i need to order game helmet'
In the year 2138 AD there was a word: DMMO-RPG. That word was an acronym for "Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game". These games were played by connecting a dedicated console to the brain via a neuronal nano-interface— an intracerebral nanocomputer network, created from the fusion of cyber- and nano-technology.
These were games that allowed one to enter a virtual world and experience it as though it were real life. And among the myriad DMMO-RPGs that thronged the market, one of them stood heads and shoulders above the others. Yggdrasil. This game had been painstakingly developed and released 12 years ago, in 2126. Compared to other DMMO-RPGs of the time, Yggdrasil's selling point was "player freedom".
It had easily over 2000 basic and advanced job classes. Every class had a maximum of 15 levels, and so in order to reach the overall level cap of 100, one would need at least 7 different classes. However, one could take as many classes as they wanted as long as they met each class' prerequisites. One could even take 100 classes at level 1 each, although it would be very inefficient. As such, in this system, it was virtually impossible to make identical characters unless one was deliberately trying to do so.
In addition, one could use various creator tools (sold separately) to fully customize one's armour, weaponry, flavour text, appearance, and other cosmetic settings.
A vast playing field awaited its players. There were nine worlds in total: Asgard, Alfheim, Vanaheim, Nidavellir, Midgard, Jotunheim, Niflheim, Helheim, and Muspelheim.
A massive world, numerous classes, and freely customizable appearance. These features ignited the creative spirits of its players, and sparked what would later be known as a stylistic revolution. So popular was it that whenever the word "DMMO-RPG" was mentioned in the world, listeners would immediately think of Yggdrasil.
"Speaking of Yggdrasil, what month and year is it currently?" I searched for a phone in my pocket but there was none. Thankfully my room comes with a free desktop.
"2138 huh. So it appears that the game has been running for 11 and a half years, meaning that the canon shall start 6 months from now."
Without a moment to lose I called over Sebastion and ask him to fetch me the dive gear as soon as possible.
"As you wish, young master" He bowed and walk out with haste, I wasn't really worried about the exuberant price of the gear, with an annual income of 500 billion I'm sure that my family's oil company wouldn't really care for these type of messily expenditures.
