Journey and Test Subject 1#

{Sorry about the late update, exams are coming up and I have been sick these past days. My dad's getting surgery and I'm having to take MOS Exams so it's been hectic lmao}

{Sadre and Yami1418 has guessed the two hidden characters which were Vanir and Zoro, give a applause to him}

{New Side Story Chapter has been in the fanfic which is called :Overlord Tree Demon Side Stories: Go check it out for any side stories or information which is ont here for fun.}

After the celebration me and Ainz took our groups and headed off to Re-Estize and E-Rantel, Ainz will be dropped off at E-Rantel while my group goes to Re-Estize and talk with Gazef before becoming Adventures and meeting up with Ainz at E-Rantel.

We both took two carriages with both of our groups, but me and Ainz decided to talk alone in one carriage which was being driven by Narberal for the time being, the carriages were big enough to fit at least seven people and were pure red and gold to make them look extravagant.

They were being pulled by normal looking horses covered in illusion magic, the real horses are Death Horses, part of the update {Death Journey} an update where there were a lot more undead monsters, npcs and just general animals being turned into undead for some reason.

Most of the creatures or undead you get are around 60-80 so they are pretty good as fodder against other opponents.

Currently I was talking with Ainz about our plans.

"So after you talk to the king and get Alraric that piece of land to build a shop where you can gather information and plant watchers, you meet us in E-Rantel where we should already be registered as adventurers. We have Juilius to check the coins and copy them where we don't have to worry about money and he will meet up with Sebas's group to help them." Ainz said while going over the plan.

"Yeah, that should be it, if anything sudden happens, message me." I said thinking about clementine and the undead army.

'Always thought that was a waste to kill her since she was easy material to experiment on with martial arts. Speaking of experiments the {Uncomplete Monster} Kruf has created or been working on should be almost ready. He has experimented on it with {Dragon's Blood} and {Unicorn's blood} I'm pretty sure he made the skin out of Gragorths skin and applied {Truk Lotion} to make it skin like, the level will be low but it is the first of its kind and we can see if any of Yggdrasil rules apply on it, he should be carrying it to Demiurge now and should complete it with Demiurge.'

I smiled creepily before chuckling.

"Well Ainz." I inched closer to him. He backed away a bit while making a hmm noise."Did you enjoy your lovey dovey moment with Albedo?"

His jaw dropped and his red eyes withered for a second before coughing.

"I was forced to do so, she took me and I could not leave.." He sighed. "I feel bad for Tebula's creation since I basically forced her to love me!" He rested his face in his hand.

At the word Tabula I remembered how much time me and him spent making all the npcs, I changed most of his things to make them not as counteractive but also changed a lot of my things. We were called the opposed members in the guild because of how much we opposed each other's ideas.

"Well man just accept her, Tabula would be fine with it!." I said, patting him on the shoulder.

"Probably" I whispered to myself.

"Did you say something?"

"Nope, I'm gonna go inside the other carriage where my group is." We were going northwest where the kingdom is and applied illusion magic making sure no one can see us so we are just going in a straight line avoiding anything in our way.

Ainz's carriage is in front while mine is in the back. Electra was driving my carriage while Narberal was driving Ainz's carriage.

I teleported inside my carriage to see Aurelius, Juilius, and Zacian playing poker while laughing. The carriages were more square with seats lined all around and a small table in the center, gold and red were the color of everything with the seats being pure red and the table being pure gold.{Juilius, Aurelius and Zacian's Picture, it was hard to find a picture for Juilius so just bear with it and imagine.}

Aurelius wore his red robe with his sharp and handsome face, he had pure blue eyes and short eyebrows, his hair was pure red and he looked nothing like his race which was demon.

Juilius has his normal look, he looked creepy and scary like a thug dealer with his unusual eye and scars, him being bald and having a evil looking mustache made it worse with his cold and sharp eyes as he was wearing leather/casual clothes which were colored in black and brown.

Zacian was wearing his usual black robes but he did not have his top hat on revealing his smooth short black hair and his calm eyes and proportional face, under his robe was a black shirt padded with black scales. He had his cane with him which was laid down on the floor, he is planning on wearing a mask on the adventure to help his mysterious aura.

Alraric was next to me, he was wearing his usual suit and had cool white hair and transparent greyish eyes as he had an average face compared to Zacian or Aurelius but he was handsomer than most. His short white hair made him look professional as he was looking out of a smile rectangle window in the carriage.{Alraric Image}

"Yo Lignis-sama! You should have seen these two being ground pounded by me haha." Zacian laughed as Juilius had a frown and Aurelius put the cards down in a tantrum-like way.

"Again! I refuse to believe I could be defeated by a clown!" Aurelius remarked and Zacian snickered at hearing 'clown'

"Keke, who is acting like a clown in front of Lignis-sama" he said and then pointed at Aurelius "you are!" Zacian said before Alraric remarked something making them both frown.

"You both are acting like toddlers!." After Alraric said that, a card was thrown cutting through the air aiming for Alraric who easily grabbed it with two fingers before it reached his head. If it was any normal human then they would have a card stuck in their head.

"Sebas will hear complaints from me! He should teach his kids better." Aurelius said in dramaticness before I stepped in.

"Stop acting like children…." I froze for a moment while covering my mouth with my hand. "HAHAH" I tried acting serious before bursting into laughter and Zacian with Aurelius burst into laughter too after seeing me laugh.

Alraric just sighed and put his head into both of his hands. Juilius just looked between the three of us with raised eyebrows.

Unlike Ainz who would laugh and then feel a calming pressure, mine was different. For some reason the calming force only calms me down when I am either too panicked or surprised, any other emotion like happiness, excitement or any of those are allowed. Ainz is different since all of his emotions are gone after he laughs for a bit or feels panic meaning it happens in a time limit like five seconds. I feel bad for him but it is not a bad thing since it has helped him many times in the past two weeks.

'Now I think about it since I increased the maids Lv from their original 40-60 to 80 what would happen when Entoma or whatever her name was is fighting the Blue Rose? Man I can hardly remember but I do remember that fight since I loved the side characters."

Because of my changes, the Blue Rose will die without even struggling and I personally like them, so I will keep them alive for now.

I still heard laughing while thinking and saw Aurelius patting Zacian on the back.

Seeing these characters laugh reminded me of the time I was creating them with my guildmates. It was fun when making them especially the command where they only act like this in front of me, I tried adding that to the other Npcs, but some of the Guild Members did not want that, so the only one who act like this is Aurelius and Zacian who are best friends in the flavor text due to Aurelius childlike personality when it comes to certain things and Zacian's carefreeness.

*Sigh*

I sighed that it was really fun with them.

We used to go down in the 11th floor and terrorize captured players in the {Sealed Chambers} or custimize the random citizens over and over again.

The two calmed down before Aurelius turned to Juilius.

"Hey Juilius, did you bring any smokes? I feel like lighting one up, Zacian and Lignis-sama, do you two want one?" Aurelius turned to Zacian before looking at me with a questioning look.

Smokes were cigarettes, I created some with some leftover data crystals that were useless and Juilius has them to himself betraying his race. This was courtesy of Tebula and Bukubukuchagama who made him.

He was an angel, his classes were suited to healing and melee fighting but his looks, personality and habits do not fit an angel.

Aurelius being his master likes the 'smokes' and hands them out to some Floor Guardians or Leaders sometimes, they are also on the 11th floor but only some have them and those are mostly the higher ups on that floor.

I raised my right hand, palms up and said. "No thanks, I don't want to smoke right now."

"Sure I take one. I wonder if Ava would smoke these I know Demiurge like them!" Zacian said and Juilius handed one each to Zacian and Aurelius before starting to smoke.

I looked at myself and wondered if I should be like Ainz and cover my whole body or show my face. I would be wearing some silver armor which is the opposite of Ainz's dark armor.{Picture of His Armor}

I will use a spear but not the world item spear, I should probably use my ice one or something.

I shrugged as smoke filled the carriage.

Alraric who was looking out the small window gave the three a side eye before putting his palm towards them.

His hand transformed into a vacuum and sucked up all the smoke in the carriage.

"{Bubble Barrier}" Alraric spoke out loud and a small bubble covered me and him.

"Thanks kid" I spoke towards him and he smiled.

"Pay it no heed my lord, it is the duty of one such as myself" He said with a smile and eyes full of loyalty before turning back to the window.

'If he was in my world he would be the quiet kid who would take a gun out and shoot everyone. But he does not shoot the few people who have been nice to him.' While thinking that I chuckled before thinking about checking on Electra.

I teleported on top of the carriage to see a girl with long pink/red hair and a beautiful maid outfit going all the way down to her ankles, her boots were dark and sharp and she had a weird hammer shaped weapon on her back and a small shield on top of it.{Picture here}

Her face was sharp and looked beautiful, if you were to compare her beauty to anyone of my past life then they would be like coal compared to diamonds.

Her eyes were sharp and dangerou as the pink pupil shone.

"Electra, how long until we reach E-Rantel?" I said, surprising her.

"Oi, Lord Lignis, don't scare me like that!." She said in a rough voice before answering. "Soon we will be reaching E-Rantel, and then we are heading to Re-Estize, so lay back and enjoy the ride you hear?" Her voice was rough and had a rough french accent. Her way of speaking betrayed her beauty.

Normally that way of speaking was forbidden towards the Supreme Beings by other Nazarick Citizens. Her speech was programmed by Tinguroar, he wanted a rough speaking beauty and I gave in to him constantly pleading to program her and she has been practicing for being adventures which means casual speech.

No one minded because she boosted the moods of anyone she spoke to.

She was holding a leash attached to a Eight feet big misty horse covered in black gew and had red eyes, parts of it were bones and it had horns coming out of its spine.

"Electra, any spies? And do you want any cigarettes?" I asked her.

She looked at me and scrunched up her face in thought before sighing.

"No spies" She stopped for a moment before she had a fed up face. "Ol come on Lord Lignis you know I'm an addict why you gotta ask, if you could I would love a cigarette."

This was courtesy of Tabula, who made her an addict to cigarettes when I created her in the game and worked with Tinguroar on her. Those two are a bad match up when it comes to npc's flavor text they caused me a huge headache when it came to the 11th floor and Peroroncino gave me a greater heachache when it came to girls on that floor, he tried making them all wear bunny outfits that were created by his sister when she found some material which were perfect for them and used the outfits to tease me and Ainz with them. I grumbled about that day for weeks to no end.

I smiled. "I see, you have been practicing talking normally for our upcoming adventures. since you would not talk like that normally" I said as I pulled a cigarette out of my inventory. And handed it to her.

She took it and put it in her mouth. "Thanks for that, Lord Lignis, appreciate it. And yep I've been working on my good ol speech so thank you for noticing it." She gave me a toothy grin.

Smokes or cigarettes don't affect their bodies like regular humans so no one minds smoking them.

I smiled and looked on the horizon

I put my hands on my hip and opened my arms feeling the passing wind.

"This is a great view huh." I said to myself and Electra watched my form with memorizing eyes before talking.

"It sure is a good ol 'view ain't it?" she said while driving the carriage "It seems this world shall be great for conquering ai?"

"It really is a good view. And maybe this is a perfect conquest" I said with a smile on my face "I'm getting excited about what this world has to offer."

She puffed and bit of smoked and nodded

_____Kruf and Demiurge_____{Both pictures of Demiurge and Kruf}

Kruf was super giddy after finally being ready to finalize the artificial creature he has been working on since he got into the world.

He wanted to finalize it with Demiurge since he was currently overwatching everything that has been happening since the leave of the Supreme Beings.

So he headed to the 7th floor of the {Blazing Ruins} which was made by Demiurge's Creator Ulbert and Lignis who both created it.

It was a hot ground that made the floor spew lava out of holes in the ground and river full of magma, he was currently walking the path towards the {White Shrine} where Demiurge lives.

Demons of all kinds flew in the air and walked around on the ground ignoring Kruf and his {Death Knights} which were carrying a cage on a wooden board harboring a humanoid with green cracks and orange veins coursing through its body, they're eyes were pure red and had sharp claws with horns on its spine and arms, it has three horns growing out of its head and it was slender and lengthy being around 7ft.

Kruf had a {Uncompleted: Unknown Monster} in his cages and since they were in a New world he wanted to see if he completed it what would happen, and is excited to experiment if it would be held by YGGDRASIL rules and what would it turn out to be, Since this monster was found in a dungeon and had an unnaturally low level of 30 so they did not complete it and it was unknown.

He already injected {Dragon Blood} and {Unicorn Blood} to see what would happen. They were rare materials but they had a storage full of those kinds of things. Now it had green and orange blood coursing through its veins and for some appears to be cracking which is very interesting sadly he already did a couple of test found nothing of use.

All he had to do was apply some {Data Crystals} and some {Fairy Essence} to complete it, he had some more {Uncompleted Monsters} if this one did not turn out well.

Passing through some destroyed shrines and sculptures he saw some huge and small demons sitting on rocks or walking around watching him as approached the white shrine which shone in this destroyed floor. It had a throne at the top of the white stairs and a building behind the throne.

He approached it and sat the cage down with the Death Knights separating and bowing.

"Demiurge!" His deathly voice roared out making a slicked black hair man appear behind the shrine, he had a silver tail with six point tips covered in silver scales and had a gentleman's suit fitting his average build.

He had round glasses and black gloves with a huge mocking smile.

"Hello Kruf, have you brought the creature?" Responding to the calling, Kruf moved aside revealing the unmoving creature.

"Oh, it looks very unique.." he said examining the creature "Hopefully it won't disappoint the Supreme beings." Demiurge said walking down the pure perfect white steps.

"Don't worry since this is only a test subject and needs further research after it is completed." Kruf responded "I will experiment more and develop a creature that is perfectly loyal to the Supreme Beings and help Nazarick in the future.. I have more test subjects after all." Kruf chuckled at the end as his gears turned causing a smoke and a cranking sound to echo throughout the halls, his cane in his right hand as he awaited Demiurge.

"Then I expect a much better creature after this" Demiurge said releasing some of his {Demonic Aura} "I hope you don't disappoint me" Kruf jolted and nodded and the aura disappears "We don't want to disappoint the Supreme Beings after all and we might need some more support for Nazarick to grow stronger" Demiurge said as he finally stepped in front of the cage.

"Remove the cage. I want to examine the creature fully." Demiurge ordered.

Kruf nodded and tapped the cage making it fall down, revealing the huge lengthy body creature. If any humans saw it they would scream in terror by how it looked and how horrifiying it looked.

After ten minutes of inspection Demiurge noted some things in his brain, Inspecting the creature from head to toe. "Hmmh.. It seems that it will be of use even if it isn't completed, Well then let's begin with the experiment"

Kruf nodded before walking up to the creature and taking out a rainbow crystal out of his inventory which was the size of his hand and dropped it on the creature the crystal liquidated and absorbed it.

He then took out a pouch with a small string tying it, Kruf untied the string and took a handful of weird glowing powder and sprinkled it on top of the creature making it shake and turn.

It kept moving unnaturally with cracks and pops everytime it moved, suddenly it started glowing red as it moved faster and faster like it had a seizure, it's arms turning and breaking in unnatural ways as its head started rotating backwards, its legs bending naturally as it started glowing even more.

As Demiurge and Kruf watched in interest.

Suddenly the light exploded making Demiurge and Kruf look away even though Kruf is undead he still has to see.

A few seconds passed as they looked back to see a standing creature with dust around it.

The moment they saw it, they were spectacled.

It was tall, very tall and had no flesh and looked mummified, it had no eyes as two long huge horns protruding from the side of its head as its head merged with the bottom of it making it look like melted flesh where its eyes were going to be if it had some. Its arms were as long as its whole body and were just bones, the hands were far bigger than natural and it looked horrifying as red beads glowed inside its horns.{Picture here}

It looked around, as Demiurge and Kruf just observed.

"Hmm.. let's test its attacking capabilities." Demiurge said and Kruf looked over to the Death Knights.

"Attack the creature." Kruf Ordered.

One of the Death Knights got up and swung its huge sword at the creature.

The creature smiled as the teeth with no lips opened up revealing an abyss. It swung its right arm back at the Death Knight at inhuman speed causing a huge sound to reverb through the area.

*Boom* The Death Knight went sliding through the path that Kruf walked on and screeched across the ground for a while before stopping.

It then looked at Kruf and Demiurge and blurred before leaving an after image. It suddenly appeared before Kruf while waving its long arm intending to hit him.

"Hmm, it seems like you are at least Lv40 seeing your speed and strength but you possess no loyalty." Kruf said as he easily blocked the arm with his own arm causing a shockwave to happen between them.

"{Absolute Domination}" Kruf said out loud and the creature got pushed onto the ground with an unknown pressure.

Kruf just looked at him with interest as the creature struggled to get up.

"Well I like his look but he is too weak and acts like an animal. Should we just scrap this one?" Kruf asked toward Demiurge who was looking at the creature too.

"It has the feeling of a demon like me but was he not made of other material? If I am correct, then there should be zero percent that any type of demon materials got into him, is it based on the location or by people near." Demiurge thought for a moment before responding to Kruf.

"I will ask Lignis-sama what to do since he is more well versed than me in this matter and wanted to know about the creature when it's finished, so I have to message him about it. If I can, I will also ask Ainz-sama. Give me a moment." Demiurge said before casting a message spell.

{Demiurge, what's the problem?} Lignis asked after the message spell connected.

{Lignis-sama, it seems the creature has been tested but it's very weak and attacks the one that created them, I want to ask what we should do from now on with it?}

{I would like to hear your best idea on what to do with it, Demiurge tell me what is the best possible course to do.}

'Is he testing my thinking ability, I see so Lord Lignis is testing me of what I would have done in a sudden event. This entails giving me experience in case a sudden event happens where I can't inform him. His thinking is truly great! Sasuga Lignis-sama!' Demiurge thought with awe oblivious to Lignis's pure question who was just asking out of thought.

{I think we should use it to our advantage, you see since you and Ainz-sama are going to become adventures why not use this creature to test this worlds powers, by sending it out near the city, this way we can assess the strength of the guards and adventures which may come to fight it, also this creature might be new to them so any player would want to see it and so if any hidden players are near they might take the chance to take it although that is unlikely. But we need further information before sending this creature of course.}

Demiurge thought for another moment.

{But if this creature does not die by any of the guards, adventures or some hidden players that mean that this is a chance for you and Lord Ainz to gain fame and naturally blend in with the adventures and gain favor of the king and the kingdom's people, and after you kill it we take it's corpse for further improvement to see if it is different than when it's alive and then try to create a better one, we will apply some magic to make it non traceable to us.}

Lignis decided to take in everything he said before talking.

{...That sounds great, make sure to make it non-traceable and make it not destroy everything, apply mind magic to make it listen and then some trap magic in case a sudden player gets it. Also make its appearance unique like coming out of a sudden tomb nearby the city, this way it won't be connected to Carne Village or the forest.}

Demiurge was awed by the thinking of the Supreme Being.

{I am awed by the Supreme beings thinking, to even think of how the appearance is and how to not connect it to us, I can easily make a naturally small earthquake which will explain the sudden tomb which I will make half broken so as to make it look old. Don't worry I shall execute this perfectly!}

{Ok, we are about to reach E-Rantel, I'm going to go to Re-Estize afterwards and talk with Gazef, afterwards register as adventures nearby and then go and meet up with Ainz. Make sure to execute the plan flawlessly.}

{Do not worry Lignis-sama, I shall execute this plan without any flaws.}

With that Lignis executed the message and Demiurge smiled before turning to Kruf.

"Let's start testing on the Test subject Number 1#" Demiurge said and Kruf nodded in excitement."

Demiurge smiled seeing the creature struggling.

"Inferior creatures should not struggle under the orders of their creator!" Demiurge said as his head morphed into a frog-like head and his voice echoed throughout the area.

The creature immediately stopped struggling and Kruf applied some mind magic making the creature obedient, then they started researching it on the 11th floor with some researchers.

While in another place were Ainz and Lignis who finally reached E-Rantel.
