5 No Choice
[THRONE ROOM - Melancholic Tower]
*Few... Hours... Later*
Ainz's POV
With all the talking and gossip amongst the ladies in the room.
'I, the great bystander of all the known realms, was able to master the ways of the eavesdropper.'
'I have successfully picked up the names of the ladies as they held their continuous conversation.'
'Who knew I have the potential in eavesdropping? My skill for it definitely leveled up in these short hours Hahaha!' I said as I was bemused by myself.
Finally! With their names acquired, I can successfully pinpoint each of them by color:
Red is Remi, the Fire Mommy
Violet is Sophie, the Cleopatra 2.0
Yellow is Aura, the Japanese hardcore
Green is Buen, the Archon wannabe
Sky Blue is Ana, the Girl Boss
Silver is Cassandra, the Cool Girl
Cerulean is Serena, the Avatar
Pink is Charlotte, the Brat
White is Sera, My Love
Blue is Stephanie, the Boo- I mean Brain
Gold is Laura, the Loudmouth
Indigo is Monique, the Mystery Girl
After recording and concluding my initial assessment of their existence to my brain, I started singing the tune of the song 'The Man Who Can't Be Moved' by the Script.
But then something, Cassandra (the Cool Girl), said caught my attention.
"There's a new Dungeon that I recently found, it's at the East of the Silent Hills."
"It's South-East of our base. It's a level 75 Dungeon filled with lots of undead monsters, from the regular Skeletons to Death Knights."
"I was planning to clear it by the end of the month," said Cassandra suggestively to her clan mates.
"Oh! Oh! Can I join you? I was planning to level up my beloved anyways" said Sera excitedly.
"Sure! It will hit two angels with one stone. Hahaha, What build were you planning for him anyways?" Cassandra asked
'Please let me be a Mage! Make me a mage! Ygdrassil Magic is so OP. I don't want to miss that!' I said internally, manifesting my intentions to all the gods.
'Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Jehova, Zeus, Odin... Hear my prayer!' I fervently prayed in my mind to make the universe bend to my wishes.
"I wanted him to be a Knight! My Knight-In-Shining-Armor!" Sera said dreamily.
'NOOOOOOOOooooooooooo...'
At that moment. All my dreams of becoming a beacon of awesome magic was shattered in an instant.
Performing countless Super-Tier Magic is now *Poof* gone!
'Well, it's not as if I had the power of choice in my hands to begin with, being as I am currently an NPC. But at least I tried, praying never hurt anybody anyway.' I said to myself comfortingly.

*Few... Days... Later*
[MELANCHOLIC TOWER - Entry Zone]
Still Ainz's POV
[Come]
'Sheesh! Took her long enough!' I said internally exasperated.
I just received a command from My Love through the game screen pop-up.
I'm going towards her now, she's by the entrance of the tower. I'm Currently a few meters away from her. No undead on site.
I was getting bored killing undead that surrounds our base tower for quite a few days now.
And if you're wondering why I was able to move on my own without any parental guidance?
Well, let me tell you a story... of how I died... Just kidding!
I was programmed to become a Zone Guardian.
I was blessed by the hands of Cleopatra 2.0 and the Big Boo- BRAIN! Yes, indeed she has the brains.
Where was I? Oh yeah!
I was programmed by them to act as the Zone Guardian of the Melancholic Tower's Entrance Zone which basically spans for like 300-500 meters in radius.
It happened back when I was still in the throne room eavesdropping on the ladies' conversations.
When they decided to 'make out' my Racial Classes and Job Classes outline.
My Love asked the two ladies to get to 'work on me' on becoming a Zone Guardian so I will have a purpose or in their terms 'I will have some Use'.
Cause based on what I have heard from the others, most of the NPCs that the others created are not built for combat.
They were more focused on Production classes or just simply there to alleviate their boredom or 'eye candy'.
'You heard me right, Comrade!'
*Whispering Voice* 'Eye Candy'
That's precisely why I took the part of Sera's Beloved seriously because I will kill myself the very moment I'm in the next world if I am left there inside a room to become 'Eye- candy'.
'Can you imagine what those poor NPCs must feel? Their whole poor existence was just for mere eye candy!'
'For 12 fucking years! or less but that doesn't matter. I'll be crazy or already dead inside by the time the game shutdown happens.'
'I wouldn't want to be like them. I DON'T want to be like them!'
Such cruel fate is the same thing as being imprisoned in an isolation cell in jail for 12 freaking years!
If My Love, Sera wants me to be a knight, to be her Knight-In-Shining Armor. I'll make sure that I'll become the shiniest one there is! Touch-Me be damned!
As I continue to walk towards her, I near her and see her stoic face, her still poised posture. I cannot help but let out a theater play of sorts.
'Oh, my Love! How gracious are thee? To grant me such great purpose other than eye candy ~'
'I shall be your shield, at your beck and call. I'll be the blade on your hands, enemies' head shall fall!'
'For thy loving heart, has granted me such sweet escape, of a tragic fate far worse than being wraith'
Ah~ The love of theatre still flows in my... veins? soul? ... I don't know. It doesn't matter now.
I'm already in front of My Love.
[My Love, I have come to head your call]
QueSeraSeraph: (◍•ᴗ•◍)
She sent me an... Emoji??
*Pffffttt* I held my laugh internally.
'So Fucking Cutteee!!' I blush immensely in response to such behavior.
*Ahem*
"You're finally here, My Beloved! How fair thee in thy quest?"
'It was good. Thanks for asking' I replied internally as I laughed at her roleplaying act.
She paused for a moment, acting as if listening to my response to her questions which I find adorable.
"Good, we must fly by dawn and cleanse the world of its evils. A Dungeon has appeared and as the White Priestess of Angelarium, I must remove its dark clutches!"
"Will you [Help Me] in this endeavor, My Knight?"
'For you? Always!' I answered internally as I knelt on one knee, by the ashy ground of the Silent Hills, with my sword struct at the ground.
[I am yours to command, My Love]
"Are you done with your preparations, Sera?" Cassandra said, popping out of nowhere.
'When did she get here?' She almost gave me an internal heart attack!
"Greetings dear Sister. Yes, we are now well prepared for what's to come" Sera said in reply.
"Good, then let us make haste. It is high time we embark on our journey. [Gate]" Cassandra said as she evoked a spell that created a swirling glittery golden whirlpool, and then she entered it.
Followed by My Love as she commanded me to [Follow] her.
So I took a few steps towards the gate and braced myself for the great unknown with excitement deep in my heart.
-----
How did you like the chapter?
I went a bit further with the emotional aspect of the story, don't worry it's not the level of Love-Love-LOVE yet!
It's more like, I like your looks, You're a good person, You saved me from being merely an Eye-Candy, I'm lonely and would like to be friends, and as they say:
Kings have honor,
Soldiers have bravery,
while Poets have hearts!
Thank you again for the support!
