Chapter 2 [ Orient ]
*Wait, think about it, I'm sure GM wrote the Maintenance Schedule wrong, hahaha... I'm sure of it*
"Hah~"
"Is there something wrong, Your Majesty?"
One of the seven kneeling creatures lifted its head and spoke.
"No, there isn't"
*Wait?!*
*The NPC?! Speak?!
*If I'm not mistaken..*
"Hugo"
"Please Give Me Orders, Your Honor" Hugo
*Eeeeeeeehhhh, don't you have to Click on the NPC and then Use the Keyword to Command it?!*
*Wait! I can't look nervous*
"Hugo"
"Yes, my lord."
"Go outside the maze and observe everything you see outside the Gottheit Maze."
"Yes, my lord."
The bearded old man NPC immediately lifted his leg from there...
*While, what are they, shucks, the other members have already programmed their characters if I'm not mistaken. But how is the program?
Kring
He opened the Menu Panel, and entered the Guild Options, exploring the options inside. Options that had just been opened by him since he had become the head of the Guild himself replacing AllFather999.
"Heeehh"
*So This is the Program*
He opened the NPC Program Menu
[NPC PROGRAM],
Hugo > Loyal | Defender of Justice | Gentle | Friendly | Ruthless
*Well, I guess Hugo's character does suit that person's taste (AllFather999)*
Albis > Rational | Kind | Rigid | Visionary | Loyal
*Albisu? Ah I guess the one with the woman with glasses? Ah well, it's like having a big sister, here she is designed by BowGod002-san huh*
Hakuto > Narcissistic | Friendly | Humorous | Cruel | Loyal
*Hakuto, the one in the white dress? What makes this NPC not afraid of getting dirty?, He was designed by... NoBo*Bs59, Heh~ no wonder*
*Then..*
Rori > Cruel | Obscene | Rational | Good | Loyal
*Eh?! Pervert? Who designed it anyway? Phantasmal997-san well... This one I'm not surprised about either*
*Then..*
"Reinhard huh?"
"Yes, my lord."
*Ah I'm talking*
Reinhard > Ruthless | Mature | Cunning | Rational | Loyal
*He's really good, according to the NPC Leaderboard alone he can be called the 'Strongest' Yes, he was designed by... GoreKing112, definitely cruel to this enemy*
Foxy > Friendly | Good | Plain | Loyal
*Well this one is even like having a little brother, Beast, he's a fox huh? Fox ears and tail huh? Dressed in Kimono*
*Then the Last one..*
Venus > Kind | Friendly | Wishy-washy | Wary | Vindictive | Loyal
*Normal Woman huh? That beautiful pure white hair and wings, I think I can like her right away... The designer... BeeHolder789 huh*
*If I'm not mistaken BeeHolder789 and RororinChwan33 are sisters huh? Will Foxy and Venus look like that? If so then this world is indeed getting weirder*
*Excuse me, Your Honor* Hugo
*Ah Hugo huh? How are things outside?
*It is, a problem, Your Majesty. Hugo
*Well, go back to the main hall of the castle, and report everything you saw and the conclusions of your observations.
*Good.
*What does it matter, most importantly, I must not look weak before them*
"Raise your head."
The six people in front of her remained kneeling, but raised their heads.
"I feel it."
"Feel what, Your Majesty?" The NPCs
"Feeling Trouble Coming"
Knock - Knock - Knock
"Your Majesty's Permission to Enter"
Hugo walked straight to where he was kneeling, and immediately reported...
"Report Your Majesty" Hugo
"Tell me, what did you see, Hugo"
"I... Saw a forest."
"Forest?" Another NPC
"What do you mean?"
"That's right... I think we are in a different location than before, perhaps even in a different world, Your Majesty." Hugo
*A different world huh?... that's actually the most suitable guess*
"Alright, I've decided, I'll explore the area outside the Labyrinth for some time"
"Wait sir, isn't it too dangerous to travel alone, at least invite me to help you" Rori
"No, we better leave more guards in the Maze, Reinhard!"
"Yes, sir" Reinhard
"Do you still feel the Insect Race under your command?"
"Still, Mr. Dante"
"I see... then the Insect Race is still under our charge, I order only one of you to be captured."
"And who is that, sir?" Reinhard
"Of course the most normal-looking of you, Albis, you're coming with me to explore the Outer Regions."
"Yes, sir."
"You all return to your normal duties, I hope you don't let your guard down, the other world has many surprises waiting for us"
"Oh my God Dante!" Another NPC.
*I hope my behavior and words are in keeping with the nature of a great ruler*
The NPCs exited the main hall, apart from Albis, Albis followed Dante to the back room of the hall...
After some time, they walked towards the armory room...
*Hope this is the right time*
"Hey Albis"
"Yes, Your Highness" Albis
"Can I touch you?"
"I understand, if that's what you want then I-"
Albis said that while taking off his shirt, but...
"W-Wait, that's not it!"
"Eh?" Albis
"Give me your hand."
Albis gave his right hand to the woman...
*This... This is a reality, isn't it? Her skin felt soft, but inside I felt a kind of hard steel that was the base layer of the race Albis belonged to. The Automatons race, a race that in the real world is called Cyborgs*.
"Let's continue"
"Alright."
The two of them walked for some time until they came to the front door of the warehouse... There was someone waiting at the door, leaning against the wall... A person in a white suit and pants, with black hair and a white tie.
"Welcome, Your Excellency, Mr. Dante, would you like to use this armory that I am guarding?" Hakuto
"Well, I'm sure I'll at least need weapons to survive in the new world"
"Hohoho, I'm sure the lady next to you is enough to handle any threat that may come your way." Hakuto
"Open the door Hakuto, I told you before, I advise you not to underestimate the New World"
"Of course Your Majesty, anything for you"
The man opened a steel door several meters high, revealing a well-equipped and well-organized armory, in the back corner of which was a bookshelf large enough to hold the 200 Grimoirs that the Supreme Creator had collected during his lifetime.
*I believe the easiest is this*
Dante picked up the sword in front of him...
*One problem, my Proficiency- Wait, what's my Status?! Has it changed?
Dante hurriedly checked his status board, and sure enough...
*What is this?

*Isn't this the same as starting over!? But... Demon race, even the base stat is already a half from my character stats in the game, I think from the beginning the Demonoid race has a more potential foundation, compared to humans **
"Is there a problem, Your Majesty?"
"No, let's get out of here"
They walked out of the maze, maze after maze they passed, of course they had no trouble, after all, the one who designed the maze was Dante himself ...
On his horse, Dante thought hard about his status ...
*I'm back to repeating, but the skills from my Inventor job are still there ... can I use them? *
After some time they rode the horse, passing dozens of trees...
"Your Highness... This place..."
"Yes, I think it's a very large forest, isn't it?"
*After several hours of horse running, I couldn't even find a way out of this forest*
"Albis, I think we're better off-"
Grrrrrrkkkkk
An earthquake, a strong earthquake suddenly occurred at a location near Dante...
"Y-Your Majesty!"
"Calm down, it's just an earthquake."
Suddenly, someone shouted from behind the dozens of trees blocking the way...
"Hwaaaaa!!!"
"Albis!"
"Yes, sir."
"Open the road!"
"Yes!"
"Skill opening!" Albis
「 Weaponization」!
Albis's maid's skirt suddenly contained a large double pistol.
Beep - Beep - Beep - Beep!
Albis continuously shot at the trees blocking Dante's path in the direction of the sound, destroying dozens of trees with his projectiles...
When he arrived...
"That?!"
He saw a little girl, with pink hair, crying in front of him, being held at gunpoint by the right hand of a man whose left hand held a woman similar to the little girl...
*Asshole, but I can't lose control of my emotions*
"You there!"
"Huh?"
*that shape..*
"Krugol huh?"
Krugol is a race that looks like Werewolves, but they are Iron Ore Eaters which they consider the source of their power. In Aureonix, Krugol are pet by some players, because of their strength and endurance, by eating stronger iron ore, their strength and endurance will follow the strength and endurance of the iron ore.
"Kekekeke, what is this? Who are you? Don't bother my lunch"
"Hoho, lunch huh?"
*If you look around, he has hundreds of other members, no wonder even the Ogre Village can be destroyed in an instant*
"Unfortunately I have business with this Ogre tribe, I hope you leave in peace"
"Kekeke, leave peacefully?!!, you think this is a children's story book, you bastard. That's it! Don't bother-"
Bang!
Just before he could continue, Albis fired his gun right at his jaw, shattering half of Krugol's head...
"I can hold on to the previous one... But how dare you insult the ruler?" Albis said.
*Heeh~ Albis-san is scary too*
"He attacked first, attack him!" Krugol
Hundreds of Krugol attacked the two of them...
*What should I do? I'm not the fighting type to begin with, can Albis protect me while eradicating them all?... no, I can't depend on that, try it!
*Status Analysis!
*Well, at least one of them is at Level 25 huh... I think this could be my Harvest*
"Albis"
Albis was already in his combat stance using his two pistols, turning his legs into rocket propellers...
"Yes sir!"
"Cover me for a while, and don't kill them all quickly, I need them!"
"Your orders!"
Albis fired the pistols with a warning aim, trying not to kill too many of them...
"Item Shop!"
Kring!
Dante opened the Menu Panel, opened the Item Shop, swiped through the Image Panels because he hadn't found what he needed, until...
"Here it is!"
BUY!
Tsring!
*Registered yes*
"Then, Albis you take care of my back, I'll take care of mine!"
"But Your Highness-"
"Don't question my decision, go!"
"Fine!"
"Wohoo"
They fought on and on, forming a sea of blood, Albis' shots never missed, always killing his enemy with one bullet. Slash after slash by Dante, killing his enemy...
Until some time, the sun showed the afternoon time ...
"Phew~, at least it paid off..."
*How could he be so great, Your Majesty? I was told by the Creator that he was one of the Supreme Prow members who was not a fighter, but could be this great, as expected from the Sole Ruler*
*Fiuuhh~ It feels like crossing a long chasm many times with one rope as a link, but that rope is meaningless when it comes to being a demon race,「 Greater Regeneration」, as long as the wound is not that big, it will be instantly regenerated and perfectly sealed. While the skill works well, Skill:
[Eye of Probability]
- The ability that had existed since she maximized his Blacksmith and Cerpenter abilities, made him able to see into the points of objects, and know which parts had the highest probability to be made into hitting/cutting points as well as how strong he should hit or how deep he should cut. But since he was Isekai, this Eye not only identified inanimate objects, but also living beings, allowing Dante to know which parts were his enemy's weak points in that brief moment.
*Krugol is just a start, they are just like Goblins or Kobolds at a higher level, they have no martial foundation, cannot use spiritual ki, their movements are easily trapped, I still have a long way to go to become as strong as Barou-san*
