End of The Beginning

Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game or short for "DMMO-RPG." It's a type of game where you can immerse yourself in an imaginary world as if you were in it. Such as the game Yggdrasil. Released in the year 2126 the game sported an expansive world map and an unusually high degree of player freedom. These features, among others, made it stand above all other DMMO-RPGs of all time. And it became wildly popular in the country of Japan. Now, after 12 years of operation, the world of Yggdrasil is about to see its end.

Many people have been in and out of the game, but some stayed and played through to the end. One of them was the top guild called "Ainz Ooal Gown", they reigned over the top of everyone else. In order to get in this guild there were some requirements, first is that you had to play as inhuman avatar, and then that you had to be a functioning member of society. The guild had a total of 41 members, on top of them reigned a supreme player.

His name was.....Momonga guild master of Ainz Ooal Gown. He was tall and wore a massive cloak with purple gore it also had a hood on it, on the back of the hood was a massive red orb with horns on his shoulders.

Currently with Momonga.....

He was sitting at a massive round table, this table had 41 seats and among them, only one person was there, it was the guild master, Momonga.

He was sitting at the round table waiting for anyone who would log in so they could reminisce about their adventures. Suddenly someone logged in it was an old friend of his, he was a slime called HeroHero.

HeroHero was a normal person in but when he logged into Yggdrasil his avatar was that of a demon slime.

"Hey there. It's been a while hasn't it, Momonga?", HeroHero said while waving at his old friend and guild master.

"Sure has. To be honest, HeroHero, I didn't think you'd come. You've been gone a couple of years", Momonga said in a glad tone. He was happy that finally, someone had shown up, honestly, he had been here waiting from 6 PM and currently, it was 11:10 pm.

HeroHero was shocked by Momonga's statement, "No way. It's really been that long? Man." HeroHero then laid down in his seat, "I guess I've been working so much, my concept of time is out of whack."

Momonga sighed, "That sucks. It can't be healthy for you."

HeroHero chuckled, "Tell me about it. I feel like my avatar looks." Hero sighed, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come here just to complain."

Momonga smiled and waved his hand, "Please, don't worry about it."

"Well, I better go soon. I'm beyond exhausted", Hero said as he opened his GM.

Momonga was saddened that the only other member would be leaving so soon, but he couldn't say anything, "Right. Rest up and feel better."

Hero smiled, "Wish I could stay longer. But, gotta say, I'm kinda shocked to see the Great Tomb of Nazarick still standing."

"Huh?", Momonga was stunned and confused by Hero's statement.

"Being guild leader suited you. You've done a great job maintaining the place", Hero praised.

Momonga smirked, "Well, we created this place together. I couldn't just let it go to dust."

Hero smiled from Momonga's effort, "Must have been hard work. Thanks for everything. I hope we meet again IRL."

"Yeah...", Momonga said.

Hero was about to log out but he stopped what he was doing, "Oh, by the way, can we do something before we go."

"What's up?", Momonga asked.

"I think we should create one last NPC", Hero sounded excited, "I just saw a cool movie and I wanted to make my own character, sadly I don't have any materials for it so can you do it? One last project?"

"Huh? Sure!", Momonga said in glee.

Both Momonga and Hero teleported out of the round table room and entered the MPC creation room.

It was a massive room with a computer by the door and in the center was a sphere that was formed by layers of rings that covered all the openings.

"So what kind of character did you want to make?", Momonga asked.

"Well since we are limited on time, make it your son so that an adult body can already be formed", Hero said knowing that if you created a non-blooded character it would be an egg that needed a whole day to hatch.

"Um, are you sure it would be part undead if I do", Momonga said knowing that when creating a blooded character would follow some features of the parent.

"Yeah no worries, what I want doesn't really have a specific race", Momonga nodded and created the blood pact. He went into his inventory and took out a bag and inside it was some bone marrow that was actually his. He placed it into the computer's class sphere and then the sphere closed and started lighting up.

"Connection stable", said the loudspeaker, "creation of Blood character initiating"

The ring sphere started shining and then the rings started spinning, the speed started increasing and then a light shone brightly.

In the center was a skeleton that was standing silently in place, "Blood character finalized"

"Customization ready for deployment!", the loudspeaker said while creating a loading screen in front of them

"Okay, what next?", Momonga asked.

"You're going to love this! Let's-", HeroHero then told Momonga all the things that he wanted on it and Momonga applied it in.

Once they were finished they stared in awe as they witnessed their new creation.

The exterior body was mechanical but it worked like a living body, he had a reproductive system and a beating heart, as well as a skeleton, but that was it. He basically had a machine body, he seemed like a robot from a movie he remembered, the movie was the new 2014 robocop.

"It's alive! It's alive!", Hero played around.

Momonga laughed, "So what should we name it?"

"Him, he's your son. I don't really care about the name so it's up to you", Herohero said. "Also you should create his personality."

"I guess he should be brave, smart just like a master strategist, he should also be responsible, but calm and relaxed when needed too. He needs to be a lady's man and not discriminate races, he should also be a combination of a magic user and a weapon or melee user. He should always look for the prosperity and advancement of Nazarick and its people. He should always care for the future of Nazarick. He also needs a massive amount of stamina if you know what I mean?", Momonga and Hero both laughed hard as he said that.

After a while, they both stopped and relaxed, "Man, that was fun. Well, I guess I should get going, tomorrow I need to get to work early. Thanks for doing this man, thank you. "

"Yeah, thank you for coming. I hope you a good life after today", Momonga said.

"Yeah...I hope we meet IRL, see you", Hero then logged off and Momonga was once again left alone.

"Sigh, that was fun, at least he showed up", he then looked at his (Son), "Now what should I name you?"

His (son) was one of the strongest NPC's in all of Nazarick. In fact, he was the second strongest MPC behind Shaltear. He was both powerful in magic and in physical combat, his stats were also maxed out. Well, as much as they could anyway, he was also wearing maxed level equipment, since he was actually some form of undead.

"Since you're my son, and I'm basically a god", he whispered the last part, "why not call you, Filius Divi son of the great ruler of Nazarick"

The name was then implanted in the character's description and made Momonga smirk. "Follow me, son", Momonga then started walking away and picked up the Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown. He then exited the room and saw that the Pleiades and the head butler, Sebas, were all standing outside the room.

Sebas was a serious-looking butler, he had grey hair and a nicely trimmed beard, unlike a normal butler, his constitution was that of a veteran soldier. He was buff and muscular, his suit kind of hid his muscles.

Behind him was a line of incredibly beautiful women each one of them had their traits. In the front was Yuri Alpha, she looked like a proper maid, well she would if it weren't for the outfit and accessories she was wearing. On her left shoulder, she had a shoulder armor piece, unlike a normal armor this one had a fantasy appearance to it. On her wrists were two massive green gauntlets and going up her arms were covered in armor and unlike normal maid skirts, hers was more like a ball gown with metal armor covering the waist area.

Behind her was another beauty, unlike Yuri, she had her own charm, her name was Lupusregina Beta, Yuri's sister. She had dark soft skin and bright orange hair that was braided in two backward ponytails, on her head she wore a cute cap that was shaped like cat ears. Unlike her sister she had a less formal uniform, her uniform didn't have connected sleeves and her dress left her long but sexy leg exposed it also kind of exposed her sexy butt.

Beside her was the third beauty, , just like Yuri she had a professional beauty to her, but it was more youthful. Just like her eldest sister, she also wore a professional uniform that covered any exposed areas, it was more conservative. Just like Yuri's dress was also covered in some areas with armor like the dress and her torso, she wore a ponytail with a cute white ribbon.

The fourth Pleiade was a shorter girl and just like Lupus she had orange hair but the tint was lighter than hers, her name was CZ2128 Delta. Unlike her sisters she had an expresionles face along with a weird appearance, she wore a scarf and headband with a camo texture that soldiers in the Army would use, this texture was also on her gloves and her stockings. Just like Naberal and Yuri, her dress was also covered in armor, her left shoulder sleeve was made of metal, her skirt was made of normal high-classs silk over it was another skirt but unlike the previous skirt this one was made of metal. Lastly she wore some metallic high heeled boots and over her left eye she wore an eye patch.

Then there was the fifth beauty, unlike all of her sisters she was the only one with blonde hair with ringlets, she was named Solution Epsilon. Compared to her sisters her outfit was more reveling her cleavage was open for everyone to see and she wore a short skirt that was about thigh high and revealed a bit of her thighs from the side openings. She also wore thigh high boots with thin stockings and armor boots, in all honesty she looked more sexy than formal.

And finally there was the last beauty, her name was Entoma Vasilissa Zeta, compared to her sister CZ she was shorter than her, and unlike any of them she had a stale face the reason was that she was wearing a face bug the reason is because she is a entomancer, a type of summoner that summons insects. Her maid uniform was excessively bigger than herself, the sleeves were hanging over her hands. Her uniform was a combination of a maid uniform and a shrine maiden uniform, even though it was unique it still looked cute.

"Him, maybe I should have some fun. I think the others would mind right?", Momonga said with a smile, "Follow us!"

Momonga started walking away and Filius, as well as the Pleiades, followed behind.

They entered a massive hall that was lit up by a bright blue light, in the room, many flags were hanging from the walls. And at the end of the hall was a throne where the guild master would sit.

Momonga quickly noticed that he would need another chair in order for his son to sit down, so he lifted his hand, "create greater Item, intermediate throne."

As Momonga said this there was a magical circle beside the main throne and from appeared a second throne that was smaller and a few inches behind the bigger one. Momonga then sat down and motioned for his staff to levitate. Filius then sat down on his own throne and stared at the room.

"I think the command was stand by, right?", as he said the butler and maids all stepped to the side of the main carpet and stared at their master. Momonga then saw a woman that was beside him, "Albedo." He then called for his GM, "What were her settings again?"

Albedo was a succubus, she had long black silky hair, from the side of her head putrudid her horns. She wore a beautiful white dress with golden egdes, her dress exposed a whole lot of her cleveage but the dress had a spider web design on her breast securing her chest in place. The dress also has splits around the hip area but they closed once they reached the thighs, it was basically an oval cut. On the back, somewhere around the Lumbus area of the back, was a wide opening for her two jetblack angel wings.

Momonga started checking her information, when the progection opened he was shocked, "Jeez, this is long! Well...Tabula, the setting maniac was the one who created her." He then finally reached the end and saw something perplexing, "Huh!? No way. She's a bitch?" He sighed in exhaustion, "Tabula did love to make contradicting characters. I can't fault a guy for tastes, but still. Normally, you need a tool to change settings, but since I have this...", he said as he looked at his staff.

He then activated it magic and started typing in something, "She is deeply in love with Momonga", he snickered, "How embarrassing! I'm such a dork!"

He then closed the GM and sighed, "What was that command again?" He moved his hand out and moved it down, "Bow down."

When he said that the MPC's except for his son Filius, they all bowed before him.

He sighed and leaned back in his chair, he then noticed the flags, "Now these are relics of the past. There's mine. Touch Me. Shijuuten Suzaku. Ankoro Mocchi Mocchi. Herohero. Peroroncino. Bukubuku Chagama. Tabula Smaragdina. Warrior Takemikazuchi. Variable Talisman. Genjiro."

He sighed once again, "Well, it was fun. In fact, it was a blast."

He noticed that the time was now 23:59:47 just a few seconds till the game completely shut down. He sighed once more, "I have to wake up at four AM. I better crash after the server shuts down. I don't wanna be a zombie at work."

The timer was then at the final second as he closed his eyes.

00:00:00

00:00:01

00:00:02

Momonga quickly opened his eyes and was shocked by what he saw, the game wasn't shut down, [Did the devs push back the server shutdown?]

He tried activating his GM, but it didn't show up, he tried and tried but nothing. [Where's my console? I can't use chat or call a GM! What's going on?], he stood up in shock.

"Father!? is something wrong?", someone said.

Momonga turned around to see who had spoken, "What?"

The MPC Filius tilted his head, "Father?"

"Is something the matter, Lord Momonga?", a female voice asked.

Momonga turned towards his right and saw Albedo, she tilted her head, "Lord Momonga?"

"Lord Momonga? Is everything all right?", Albedo asked a she stood up and walked up to him.

"Father are you okay?", Filius asked standing beside his father.

"If there's a problem please let me help", Albedo asked.

Momonga then moved his eyes down and stared at Albedo's breast, he was already shocked from asking such a question but staring in that area made it much worse, suddenly there was a sudden green veil that covered him and relaxed him.

Now that he was calm he stared at both the MPC's, "The GM call function isn't working."

Albedo was confused and looked at Filius thinking that he would know, but he was the same. She then looked back at him, "I'm sorry, but I have no answer. This "GM Call" magic you speak of is beyond my comprehension."

[Her mouth is moving!], Momonga then looked at Filius.

"I'm also sorry father, I have no idea what this GM this is", he said lowering his head.

Albedo then spoke again, "I realize my failure to assist you is inexcusable. I don't deserve it, but I beg for your mercy, Lord."

[I'm actually talking to an MPC], Momonga then sat down, [No way. Is this a bug? A programming error?], he then let his staff go and it started floating away. It then stopped at a certain distance, [Okay, the staff still functions like it normally does, but I can't use my console, or contact the administrators. What should I do?]

He then looked at his head butler, "Sebas!"

Sebas lifted his head, "Lord?"

[Is it okay for me to give him orders? Ah, screw it], he then looked at Sebas once more, "Sebas. Step out of the Great Tomb and confirm the surrounding of Nazarick."

Sebas stood up, "By your command, my lord. I'll return."

As Sebas started walking away Momonga then looked at the Pleides, "Pleiades, I want you on the ninth floor. If anyone tries to trespass, deal with them."

"As you wish, my lord. It will be done", Yuri said, she as well as the other Pleiades, also left the hall.

[They even recognize and respond to commands that aren't native to the game. What in the world is going on?], Momonga thought. He then looked up and noticed that Albedo was still there and seemed to be waiting for something, he looked down, [Think. How can I contact an administrator?]

"Hey, Albedo", Filius spoke, "I have a request, can you please bring the royal nurse. I believe my father is feeling unwell"

"As you wish young lord", Albedo then walked away and left the throne room.

"Father are you okay?", Filius asked in worry.

"Uh...yes I'm fine. I have a question for you", Momonga asked.

"What is it father?", his son asked.

[Father. Man this is so weird], he then looked at his supposed son, "Can you give me your wrist I want to do something."

Filius nodded and extended his wrist, Momonga grabbed his son's wrist, [No way, he has a pulse. I can really feel it!] He then moved his face closer to the wrist, [I can also smell him, which shows me that this isn't an updated version of Yggdrasil. What's going on?]

"Is everything okay dad?", Filius was even more worried noticing his father's expression.

"I'm okay. I have a request for you, I want you to ask Albedo to contact all the guardians, all except for the guardians of the fourth and eighth floors, I want everyone to meet at the sixth floor's fighting arena. You and Albedo should come as well. Have them gather there in one hour", he said.

Filius bowed, "As you wish father, I'll let everyone know."

Momonga used magic to move his staff back in his hand, "Dammit. I'll worry about that later. I have plenty of other problems to take care of first." He then thought about moving to the sixth floor when he was suddenly there, [It worked! The ring's teleportation ability has no issues. I can still use items.] He then walked to the center of the arena, [It looks like Albedo and the others are still loyal, just like they were programmed to be. So then, what about the other characters?]

Meanwhile elsewhere.....

Filius was now done talking to Albedo and was currently walking to the sixth floor. "This place is so massive, I need to learn everything I can about this place, its unfortanate that I was born just yesterday", he then remembered his father's expression after he touched his wrist, "I wonder if father is alright?"

He currently walked out towards the arena where the guardians and his father were. He quickly walked to his father's side and stood there.

"Hello Filius", Momonga said.

"Hello father, sorry I was late", Filius said as he bowed.

"No worries, I understand", Filius then looked at the center of the arena where the guardians were walking in.

"Well, well. Looks like I'm the first to arrive", said a girl.

The first one who presented herself was a small girl with pale skin. At first, she was all over Momonga which made Filius smile, he thought this girl might be a good woman for his father since they were both undead. She then later started fighting with one of the ef twins about something. After a while, all the guardians arrived and presented themselves.

The first to present themselves was Shaltear Bloodfallen, a true vampire. She is one of the strongest NPC's in all of Nazarick and currently watches over the first, second, and third floors. She a petite-looking girl, she seemed not than 14, but that was just appearance. Her skin as well as her hair were pale as if she had no blood within her and her eyes were crimson red. Her outfit consisted of a small black bonnet with red frills, behind it was a massive black and red striped bow which held her hair into a ponytail. Shalltear currently wore a soft black evening dress with a big heavy skirt. Her upper body is dressed in a lace embellished ribbon and a short tailored jacket. In her hands, she currently had a small umbrella, since there was no sunlight on this floor it was mostly used for fashion.

Then came a giant blue insectoid warrior he had a head that closely resembled a combination of mantis and ant, just like an ant, he had two massive pincers on his face. His name was Cocytus and he was the guardian of the fifth floor, he had four arms and would often use them to hold weapons each but today he was only holding a spear-ax.

Next came two dark elf twins, both of them appeared like children between the ages of 10 and 12. One was a girl named Aura Bella Fiora and the other was a boy called Mare Bella Fiora they both were the guardians of the sixth floor.

Aura's appearance was: she wore matching pants and vest, her undershirt was a red dragon scale shirt that her creator obtained from an early dragon hunt. She had short blonde hair almost like a boy, and her eyes were different colors, her left eye was blue while her right was green. For her hands and feet, she wore brown boots and gloves, they were both slightly covered with small metal pieces.

Mare, unlike his sister, wore a white vest that matched his skirt, due to his creator having wired fetishes, he was basically cross-dressing. His vest matched his white gloves and his undershirt was made from the scales of a blue dragon. He wore a green dragon scale cape on his back and his hair was a short bob haircut, and finally, he wore dark brown high necked boots with white thigh highs, in his hand he held a long staff with the same shade of brown that the boots had.

Then came in a man in a bright orange suit and matching pants, his name was Demiurge, the strongest of the demon races. He wore a red necktie with a white shirt, he had black spiky hair and wore round punk style glasses. He looked like a normal man but some traits he had were his devilish smile and his diamond eyes as well as his pointy ears. He was a demon and a master strategist and was the guardian of the seventh floor.

She then bowed down, "Other than Victim, guardian of the eighth floor, and Gargantua, who faithfully guards the fourth, all of the Guardians have gathered as requested and pledged their undying loyalty. Supreme one, we await your orders. You need but to ask it of us, and it shall be done."

[Hmm, okay I have all their names and how they look. Now I need to know about their titles and what they do], Filius then looked at everyone while investigating more.

"I am very pleased that all of you have come", Momonga said.

"Your thanks are wasted on us. We have pledged ourselves to you, and live to obey, lord. I fear that our abilities may not meet your expectations. Despite this, we will strive to meet them, in honor of the lost Supreme Beings, our blessed creators, this we vow!", Albedo said.

"This we vow!", the other guardians said in unison.

"Most excellent, my Guardians!", Momonga said while lifting his hands, "I do not doubt that all you will fulfill your duties without fail." "Now then, I want to present someone to all of you", Momonga turned to Filius, "Please step forward."

"Okay", Filius listened to his father and stepped forward-looking at the guardians.

Demiurge was the first to notice something about this new person, "Lord who is this person, I can sense great power from him just like yours."

"Very perspective Demiurge, all of you I'd like to present to you my son Filius Divi", Momonga said as he held Filius's back.

"What incredible news! A new Supreme being!", Demiurge clapped in excitement.

Since Demiurge clapped so did the other guardians, Cocytus cheered, "That's wonderful news Lord!"

"It's an honor to serve you, young lord", Shaltear said as she bowed.

"It's an honor to meet you all, I thank you for taking care of me. I was recently born so I will need to learn about my home and everyone in it", Filius said while looking at his father.

"We will help you any way we can young lord", the guardians said in unison.

"We will do this later, Now going back to our problem. The situation outside the Great Tomb of Nazarick is, at present, entirely unknown to us. With this in mind, I've had Seba's survey the surrounding area", Momonga and the rest all turned to see Sebas beside a pillar.

"Grasslands!?", Sebas had just told his lord that the outsides of the Tomb were switched into unknown territory. This shocked Momonga.

Sebas nodded, "Yes, lord. I'm afraid the swamps that once surrounded the Great Tomb of Nazarick are nowhere to be seen. Furthermore, I could not confirm a single building, human, or monster within one kilometer of here. It would seem we are completely isolated."

"What's wrong father?", Filius asked while looking at Momonga.

Momonga was in thought a sec, "It seems Nazarick has been transported to an unknown land by equally mysterious means."

"This is bad...father if I may speak", Filius asked.

Momonga was wondering what Filius wanted to say, "What is it?"

"I want to ask Sebas something", Filius turned to his new subordinate, "Sebas can you confirm if there were any hills around our home?"

"No, young lord. It was baren nothing but grasslands beyond sight", Sebas stated.

"I have an idea", Filius said in a happy tone.
