Overlord of biblical proportions: Prologue (3)

Momonga spent a few hours figuring out how his new spell worked before finally fitting it into his standard combat strategies before he considered his mission on the Sixth Floor complete. With that done, he returned to his chambers with the [Ring of Ainz Ooal Gown].

Momonga was not at all bothered by his appearance – which was odd enough.

Though he had indeed spent an incredible amount of time in the body of his game avatar, Momonga, he was still, remained, and considered himsel...

So it is done: Rats ready, set

After the deed was done, Cinder waited a few more minutes, not to stew in the decision, but to let the driver of the inconspicuous car to drive back to the hotel. After that, she used the teleportation mark Jonathan had given her, appearing inside the stopped car, back in front of the hotel. The perfect crime.

Despite the success, though, her inside was simultaneously empty – and yet this emptiness did not frighten her. It wasn't the emptiness she'd felt trying to break Miss Sunny's h...

Overlord of biblical proportions: Prologue (2)

Unfortunately, the Great Red Dragon’s body completely dissolved after Momonga used his most beloved and important of rituals on it, [Dark Wisdom], leaving him no reagents or materials to harvest.

This saddened Momonga, but not much – if the Great Red Dragons were common in this world, he could hunt them later. However, the new spell obtained from the slain dragon at least intrigued Momonga.

Momonga did not know any spells from YGGDRASIL with this particular name, [Create Body]...

Thoughts (197)

Scáthach watched her new acquaintance, Jacques, and Medusa with some wariness. The two newly acquainted Servants suddenly, seemingly instantly, found common grounds between each other, something that pegged her paranoia levels about the Undead involvement. At least it was somewhat buffered by being in the relatively familiar surroundings, allowing her to somewhat relax.

Well, somewhat.

It was incorrect to say that she was in a familiar environment – neither the crusaders, the c...

Overlord of biblical proportions: Prologue (1)

Walking along the corridors of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, Sebas crossed through another teleportation gate, the last in his journey to the First Floor. Walking across the threshold, Sebas fixed his uniform and dusted any debris that could have fallen on it – not that it was disheveled or dirty in any way after the teleportation. Sebas always took great caution to keep his suit pristine and well-kept at all times, his suit bestowed upon him by his Creator, Lord Touch Me, would never be tain...

So it is done: Price of the power

Seeing that Cinder's armoured limousine was left at the hotel, it was replaced by another inconspicuous vehicle as she went on to visit. Which is supposed to be strange seeing that she’s also a VIP. Then again, it only served as nothing more than a distraction, the way Cinder and her entrusted escorts moved, were by teleporting. In other words, instantaneous movements.

On the one hand, it allowed Cinder, having made a decision, to be instantly in the place she was supposed to be, with...

Let's suppose

So, let's suppose I have another crossover-fanfiction, DxD\Overlord, that has 20+ chapters already, with limes and even lemons (though I would not post lemons out of my Patreon, sorry, everyone needs money) that I might start posting...
What would your reaction to that higly hypothetical situation be?

Rulers (196)

Nitocris waited a few moments, intently waiting for clarification from the man, who simply was content to take drags from his smoking pipe. Before, she realized with a start that the Servant had no further intention of explaining his words and looked at him suspiciously. "And?”

“And? And what?” The man looked at Nitocris with a slightly interested expression, then shifted his gaze to Medb before raising one eyebrow. A sign whose meaning passed over Nitocris’ head, to which Medb ...

So it is done: Price of the word

James recoiled as if struck, and Jonathan turned his gaze to Ozpin, trying to understand what it was that had made him suddenly decide to backstab his ‘friend’.

Up to this point, Ozpin had already chosen his position, simultaneously showing both his silent opposition to Jonathan and his coalition and allowing events to unfold in a way that suited him. This turnaround, however, did not fit into what exactly Jonathan knew about Ozpin – with his passivity and willingness to influence...

Singularity's situation (195)

Ainz looked at the woman, Semiramis, before him, thoughtfully.

Once again he encountered a World Class Item, or something comparable, and once again its possessor does not understand what Ainz is talking about. In fact, she’s looking at him with a look of irritation, arrogance, and interest – interest, at the very least, in the fact that he mentioned a term unknown to her.

Ainz thought about it for a moment, could he steal Semiramis’ palace? By all appearances, Tesla's WCI w...

So it is done: Summit

The premier summit of the modern world. The first international summit truly dedicated to solving a pressing geopolitical crisis affecting the entirety of Remnant. The subject of so many theories and discussions, rumors and speculations – anyone who has ever been at all interested in what is on the news has at least once imagined what such an event would actually be like.

Ozpin, for his part, did not need to imagine such a thing, after all, he was one of the organizers of the summit, ...

Mysterious servants (194)

Scáthach tried to ignore Medusa, who was walking beside her. Walking side by side with that monster’s Servant, ignoring her instinct screaming at her that the woman beside her could receive the command to remove the last obstacle to her Master’s plans… was nerve wracking. If only she could figure out Ainz’s end game, it would be much easier for her, there’s no way that monster wasn’t planning something nefarious, with Scáthach standing as his only obstacle in his way for…

So it is done: The way created

Cinder took her last sip of coffee at exactly the same moment that Jonathan set his cutlery aside. Seeing that they were finished, the agent assigned taking the waiter's place, with Jonathan's tacit permission, made his way over to him and collected the dirty dishes in an easy motion before heading into the kitchen to the sink.

Cinder was a little amused to realize that she was so in sync with Jonathan's habits and rhythm of life that she was finishing her breakfast at the same time as ...

Expect the unexpected (193)

Ainz didn't even know what was the worst part of his current situation. The fact that he had to face his copy from this world, that it was a necessary part of Medb's plan, or that it was supposed to be a part of his plan! Or the fact that he didn't even know who exactly he was looking for and where he was supposed to go!

Why couldn't Medb have been more specific in telling him of his plan? No, Ainz supposes that it would have been illogical for Medb to tell him his own plan… Maybe he ...

So it is done: ...of your life

Jonathan glanced at the bowing agent as he left the room, and then made his way, tapping his cane gently, to the window, which offered a beautiful view of the streets of Atlas.

A light snowfall was slowly covering the streets in snow, by tomorrow, the streets would be covered knee-deep. But tonight, the wind had ceased tormenting the streets of Atlas, allowing the occasional passerby to move quietly between houses – if that was what they needed in these late hours. The street of Atlas...

Chaldea and Staff: Smoking kills faster, than you think (192)

Mordred was in the worst state of mind imaginable… No, not the worst actually, perhaps unfortunately, Mordred had something to compare his current feelings with, and Mordred's current state was not as bad as his past state when he had had to kill his father himself.

But it does come pretty close to that.

What was the reason for Mordred's current predicament? As it was easy to guess, it had to do with his father.

Mordred could even laugh at the strange situation he’s in. ...

So it is done: The day before...

As Cinder walked down the ramp, she noted the oncoming procession with a glance. It seems that Atlas is going to give the Glenn procession an honor guard – at least she hopes that’s what the soldiers are. For their sake, at least.

Atlas's relationship with Glenn… had never could have been called good – there was no reason for it to be otherwise. The first blow came when Atlas's most powerful businessman accused the head of Glenn of theft, a big no-no diplomatically. Then Glenn m...

Convoluted plans (191)

The conversation between Medb and Ozymandias would probably last quite long – maybe an hour or an hour and a half? Even then, it was just long enough for Nitocris to say absolutely everything she thought necessary before Sita’s first meeting with the Pharaoh of Pharaohs.

Sita even felt a little sense of sympathy for Nitocris, after all, she had been speaking non-stop for the whole time. Her speech overflowed with compliments toward Ozymandias mixed with advice of little practical us...

So it is done: Mission as usual

Like a lot of other people, Neo had no particular experience of travelling by air. Airships were usually used by those who needed to travel – Hunters on missions, missions which Neo's team was not yet authorized in participating, some merchants, and lastly government officials. Is it any wonder, though, when crashes were not really a rarity? Flying Grimm loves to attack lone airships, after all.

And even among this small group, there were even less likely a person that can be...

Thoughts (190)

Ainz's slow walk through the wasteland, devoid of any sign of life except for the guide moving ahead, was not particularly productive of new information. At the very least, it gave abundant time for Ainz to organize his mind, something that was very ill-supplied as of late as he kept running headlong into his subordinates’ troubles.

‘Not that I'm not pleased to find myself involved in the lives of my subordinates, the Servants.’ Ainz sighed – ‘But a little time to myself isn't...

So it is done: Jonathan and Cinder

As he leaned against the wall and looked out the large panoramic window, Jonathan could see the surface of the water slowly passing beneath him. He was transfixed, it was as if Jonathan was trying to find answers to his questions in the reflections.

Huh, if he had been trained in another Tradition – who knows, maybe that's what he would be doing right now?

However, the water of the vast ocean dividing the continents of this world did not respond to his thoughts, only co...

Ozimandias (189)

As she followed behind the beast, who just by appearance alone exudes a powerful presence, Sita knew that she should not attend the meeting between Medb and Ramses.

No, it wasn't that Sita was afraid of accidentally violating diplomatic protocol of any kind. On the contrary, Sita was superbly educated in all kinds of meetings and royal protocol – as much as her relations with Rama would later turn out, her divine origin aside, she was still a queen.

Rather, her knowledge was the...

So it is done: Tactics and strategy

Among the throngs of the most conspicuous and significant, the most powerful and influential people in the world who had decided to join forces to solve the ‘Mantle Problem’, Professor Ozpin’s name seemed especially eye-catching.

To be precise, the name made anyone who’s reading the list of guests wonder.

"What is Professor Ozpin doing there?"

Of course anyone could understand that once a general summit was announced, each state had to send a representative, a Counci...

Wrong turn (188)

It didn't take long for Ainz to travel to his destination. Unlike ordinary caravaneers, who had to navigate through the sand with imprecise maps and had to rest in oases to escape the heat and sandstorms, Ainz could travel in the most direct line. Plus the occasional teleporting, it turns weeks of travel into minutes.

The only problem was that… traveling in a straight line is harder than it sounds, especially somewhere without landmarks like a desert.

"I wonder where exactly I t...

So it is done: How Atlas died

Did Robyn ever imagine how things would turn out like this?

That she would take the lead in the rebellion, how she would make Atlas take notice of her, how she would enter for the first time the holy of holiest Kingdom, the soaring city of Atlas?

Of course, she did.

But she didn't get her hopes up.

Such was the sad fate of those before her, and, Robyn thought, would be after her.

Mantle always have small resistance cells of all sorts.

There were po...

Inside the next Singularity (187)

The first thing Ainz felt the moment his feet touched the ground of this Singularity was fine sand shifting beneath his feet. Then next came the bright midday sun, mercilessly roasting everyone who caught its eye. And then lastly were the hot, dry wind, its breeze barely cooling his skin.

"This is the desert," Ainz made a simple, if obvious, inference before looking around.

Unlike the last Singularity, where he had also stumbled upon a desert, if one created with nuclear weapons a...

So it is done: King, Queen and Four Princesses

“…and though I have learned many words in my life, none of them could come close to describing the kind of person she was." Jonathan exhaled before closing his eyes in a gesture of prayer and somberness.

"May paradise and eternal bliss embrace the one who has earned her rest most in Remnant.”

After a moment, a loud sound cut through the established silence – a cacophony of gunshots as the honor guards saluted in unison – one volley of seven rifles, then a second, and a t...

One last poll

Yup, next Singularity is upon us... Can't believe we are here already!
Anyway, we've got one last question before we go. Hom many chapters about Chaldea and Staff should I wirte? Time to vote - 7 days from now on, 6 most voted Servants fo to the next singularity.
And yeah, remember, other voters here too.

Before the next Singularity (186)

Ainz would really like to say that he had sorted out all the problems he’s currently facing, other than the Singularities, that is. And, in a sense, he actually did…

In fact, the only thing that could count as an issue was the question of the books he was going to give to Olga-Marie… In which case, he was absolutely stuck.

Neither the books, nor his intention to give them to Olga, had gone anywhere. His original plan was to figure out which books were appropriate as a gift a...

So it is done: Atlas

James Ironwood was a man with the highest understanding of ‘professional ethics’. It was not just one or two occasions where ‘Captain Jimmy’ had turned against his own commanders or subordinates. All precisely because he treated his job descriptions or orders with even more care and zeal than was expected – or even required – of him.

No, there were always reasons for writing rules, good reason. Reasons that hundreds of people had died for. Rules that had been scruti...
