57 Present World and Afterworld

After waking up today, I dont enter the game and first take some time relaxing in the morning before logging in, matching the gathering time.

Its where I logged out yesterday. There are no preparations I need to do in particularno, I should stop by the union and arrange things.

Due to problems with MP during the event, Spatial Magic barely went up. I would like to level it up now that Im back, but in the location we are going to now, its better not to useInventory Expansion.

Hm? Am I being followed? Are those PKs? Considering they are being sneaky, its super suspicious. Im at the union already, so lets deposit the money with PK in mind.

I left money in tens of thousands, so I only left 2k at hand. Well, the Old Temple area is full of higher level enemies, so this works.

Then I merge sets I got with the Cooking Kit there.

When I look at my belongings like this, I realize that I dont have any rare items If I was to name one, it would be the Dark Parts as well as sirloin and tenderloins?

There is no worth in PKing me even if I say so myself The cause for me having this few rares is the small range of my actions No, I see. It must be because I was absorbing enemies for Capacity. The only chance for a drop is the ring that I received as a reward for beating a boss.

The World Quest reward that were Triffids wood materials will go to Primula-san later. I already have this for my equipment, dont I. I should use money for Servants equipment. And maybe for housing...

Well, with that said, time to go.

I move through the statue in the center square to Belstead.

Oh, heyy.

Morning!

Good morning.

Should we go right away?

Lets do so.

I invite them to a party and confirm whether they hold money. Lets tell them that I was being looked at by what seemed to PK. Of course, on PT chat.

Ho-hoon?

Its been nearly a month since the second batch came, you see its about time they grew active?

PK and PKK are familiar existences in MMOs...

We all summoned horses and started moving North.

Still, they sure are reckless to aim for you, Princess, arent they?

Considering that my weaknesses are pretty clear, I am an easy target? The problem is that the risk and return dont match at all...

Cant call them sane the moment they start aiming for you, Princess must be a personal grudge?

If some kind of envy is the reason, then I guess they would ignore the return.

They sure are some small people There is no point in even bothering about others in MMO.

Agreed.

We ride North on horses and charge into the Old Temple area.

Ah? I could come solo and it would be faster if I rode on a Wyvern from the sky? I think there are only Flying Heads in the sky so

Well, its already too late, so lets beat the enemies on the ground as we progress forward.

The objective is the center of the area.

I did investigate a little, but there wasnt much information...

What are we going there for?

Oh my, didnt I mention it? Apparently there is an entrance to Nether in there.

HO-HOH. That makes me fired up.

I explain this area to the two. That the biggest problem here are reinforcements and enemy cooperation.

Nnn in that case how about we split parties to do full summons and form a raid?

Ahh, that is an option. You twos summons will work well here, right?

I see. We can summon up to four each like that.

I will leave the party, so stay as is, Alf.

Got it.

I form a raid for multiple parties and invite Ske-san.

Thinking of the CapacityI only summon armor as Lv30. I leave the remaining ones as Lv20 with extra cost and doge customized, for a total for 6000.

An armor, skeleton, Skeleton Wolf, and owl - a total of four. I equip the owl with Luminous Magic.

Listen, #1. No burst attacks. Also, use explosion only when I tell you to, in the location I specify. Normally use spells other than that.

*KLOK*

I do want to have enough Capacity to summon them all at Lv30 and extra cost, including wolfs two customizations. In other words, I need 8100. Im missing 1800 Capacity.

Thinking of having a Wyvern yeah.

Id like to use a dragon-type, but I first need to do something about Capacity, eh.

Right. 87 and 17 is a little...

Isnt it~.

The base is 8 and 7 of extra cost. One costing 17000 really hurts At this point its impossible to make it a regular.

And there is a problem with size in a forest. Well, being able to switch around based on situation is a strong point of minion-types, so they are telling us to properly choose what to use.

I did summon an Owl but I could also summon a spider in a forest. There are plenty of blueprints I have yet to try.

In any case.

If they come from above I will kill them, so please take care of the ground.

Kaaay.

Alf-san has no ranged attacks. Ske-san will have trouble defending from magic attacks, so it is best for me to deal with them.

Magic Catalyst hasMaterial BarrierandMagic BarrierArts, doesn't it. Their strength is apparently dependent on INT and SPI? Should I take Magic Catalyst as well? This rapier seems like it would function as one.

But thinking of my SP its questionable. From the looks of Super HP Recovery and High-Class Magic Ability, secondary Skills limit is higher than 30. In which case, I still have a leeway, but...

Oops, a flying skull came.

While reflecting Dark-type magic coming from the enemy, I fire my own magic.

Those heads, they might serve well as good reflect practice.

Flying enemies are pretty hard to hit~.

Well, we shouldnt take too much time so #1.

I have the owl fireLumen Shotfrom behind at the back of the head. Then when it stops, I castLight Lancemyself and beat it. It does have low VIT.

Lets hurry and move forward.

Including the summons there are 11 of us, so we progress smoothly. Our levels have also increased, thanks to which it has become a fair bit easier.

Oh, a shield, sword and bow, huh. They sure got nice balance.

I did manage to beat them, but I did not feel like I could get any further.

I will take that armor, take care of the rest.

Princess, will you take the bow?

I dont mind.

Together with Owl I take on the Skeleton Archer, have my armor take on Skeleton Soldier and leave the rest to go to the armor Alf-san is holding.

While the Soldier is being held by my armor, Ske-san will probably beat it up. Archer is being held by me and the owls light magic, so it will die right away. As for enemy armor, we can beat it up once we are done with our targets.

Even when I reflect Armored Skeleton Archers arrows, it feels poor. Arrows are piercing attacks, so their damage is reduced against bones.

With that said, having a choice of reflecting and not just parrying is a good thing. Although the damage is reduced, they arent immune to it so it isnt pointless.

I fireLight ArrowsandLight Lances, then when enemy nocks an arrow I activateRoyal Reflect, move the rapier to the line shown by Sensing Danger and then do fine tuning.

This requires fewer movements than parrying, so I would like to by all means master it. With the addition of Wild Instinct and Survival of the Fittest, there should be enough system assistance.

My owl castsLumen Shotfrom above an Archer heavily cutting his HP down, and I finish it off with my attack.

Ske-san is almost done with his own enemy. Lets kill the armor that Alf-san is holding.

Alf-san, could you blow that one away?

Nn? Well, I think its possible.

Then,Lumen Mine.

I see.

My servants and I move away.

SHOOT THE ENEMY AT THE BALL!

SUPER EXCITING!

Ske-san reacted to Alf-san's joke.

Alf-san got on a horse and after moving away a little he had the horse kick the enemy with its hind legs. With that, the armor was knocked back intoLumen Minethat I placed behind it - farewell.

What wonderful firepower.

Yup, this is nice and easy.

By the way, Princess. Apparently mines can be moved withPsychokinesis?

Seriously?

Ball is our friend! It will kill us if we kick it though!

Well, we would die if we kicked aLumen Mine...

Ske-san also seems to have finished his side. Lets continue forward.

Should I take Enchant Magic, too, eh?

Countermeasure against Undead?

Yeah.

Although we dont get targeted by the same race, there are pretty much no areas with just one type of Undead.

Exactly and in a party, we cannot just leave them be, can we?

Well, my Servants physical works good enough. But I could also use it on Alf, right?

Theres no elemental weapons yet, ehh..

At this point there are no weapons that have an element, which are a staple of fantasy. Also, there is no resurrection. I feel it is about time we find some, but...

Take this, killing blow! STAFF SMACK! ...UOOH, my staffs Durability decreased!

The hell you doin...

A Magic Catalyst staff is not made for blunt attacks...

The enemy is Undead, so Dark and Shadow arent very effective. Ske-san himself seems pretty bored

While beating Undead that come at us, we steadily approach the center of the area where the quest mark is. We are all above Lv30, so its going well.

Finally a human-made looking thing has come into our sight, but...

Mmm? A Flying Head. There are some in the outer part and near the center, but there are none in the center itself.

If you are to look up, Princess then should I also pull out armor?

...Aint this impossible?

There was a great temple here so this place must have been flourishing. In other words, it should have been quite developed, but due to being left for a long time it was swallowed by nature.

However, there was a fairly open space there. In other words, unlike earlier parts the view is good. The greatest forte of Undead, strength in numbers will work here.

Nnn Flying Heads are Skeleton-type #1, take a look at the town as Owl.

*KLOK*

Visionship

Ahh, I see. Enemies above and Archers are both Skeleton-types, huh.

One of the benefits of being inhuman, is that enemies of the same type do not target you.

Using that, I share my owls sight to scout.

Its all swallowed by plants There are entrances in the East, West, South and North. Enemies are none?

There is no enemy What's the reason for that? Depending on the reason, it might be correct to charge right inside?

Now, what did Lucianna-san say my notes lets see...

Ehhh the reason it was abandoned was due to Undead gathering. The reason behind that was Stellura-samas statue.

Therefore, they now place all four statues together...

If the statue is the issue, what is the reason Undead cannot enter the town?

Even now there is only Stellura-samas statue in there, right?

I see. That certainly makes me curious.

For now we can move to about where the entrance is.

Lets do so.

It would be a pain if enemies linked, so after moving away once we started moving to where the entrance is.

While moving, I give instructions to #1 who is next to me. Thinking of it again, all of them are #1, so it is enough that I give instructions to the closest body to me for them all to receive them.

And so, once we calm down after moving, I have an Owl lure in armor and fly into the town. Lets see what will happen to that armor.

Armor reacted to my Owl and follows him to the town. Then as it approached the center, its speed decreased then it eventually collapsed and disappeared.

Hm. The effect was a little special, was that purification?

They get attracted, but when they get attracted too close they get purified no, are they being attracted for the sake of purification? Well, no clue, but I guess charging in is the correct choice?

Agreed. Ske-san, how about you fly over? As for me I guess I will go by land...

Hmm. Im not fit for charging through like that, so I guess I will do so.

Well, Princess heads are one thing, but Archers will definitely react to you.

And so, we see off Ske-san who summoned a Wyvern and flew away.

We should go too nn?

Huh?

Ah, looks like he entered a solo quest.

The moment Ske-san entered the town, Ske-sans figure disappeared and when I looked at the friend list, it displays that he is currently doing a solo quest.

Something has just started for me, shouldnt Princess have gone there instead?

I think it is a different quest from the one I have...

It says The Road to Nether.

It is indeed a different one. However, our overall goal is that, so all is fine. We should go as well.

Can we charge through, mm?

After dismissing everything, I summon a horse. Alf-san also gets on his horse, and onwards we go.

We charge through enemies other than armors who are in the way, and I only reflect and parry the arrows that are about to hit me. Alf-san only has to block them all, so he has it easier than me.

The moment we entered the town through the entrance, Alf-san who was riding next to me disappeared and we were separated. It appears that the enemy did not come.

The Road to Nether

Nether is the world of the afterlife where Immortal elite gathers.

Receive a trial on the road, if you are acknowledged you should be able to enter Nether.

Head to the Old Temple.

Starting Condition: Immortal

Completion Reward: Right to enter Nether

I see. But first lets do Lucianna-sans quest.

The location of the Old Temple is where the quest mark is, so lets head there right away.

Yup, all beat-up. At worst it could even crumble...

It was made with stone, but ivy had wrapped around it and the walls crumbled. However, pillars were still functioning and it barely maintained the necessary shape...

While its a complete ruin, it does have an atmosphere to it. It is without doubt a scenery one cannot see in real.

A decayed building and freely-growing plants. I quite like it.

Now, lets stop the observation and enter inside.

There are crumbled walls, so the maintenance of the inside is the worst. There are plants inside too.

It might be good to walk around later, and if I find something I should pass it to Lucianna-san. I do want to gain Stellura-samas divine protection, so I dont want to do counterproductive things. It was quite a long time, so the owner probably wont be there, but they could be in Nether.

Is this the chapel? Compared to other places, it is almost unnaturally clean.

The big door will not work. I open the small door that is next to it and enter inside.

What entered my sight first, was a large statue of Stellura-sama. And on the sides, there were three small statues of remaining gods.

These three, they clearly appear improvised. I dont know the situation back then, but if the effect differs depending on the statue's size, I guess I can understand the current situation?

Small statues are unable to nullify the large statues effect so Undead gather, but purification has an effect in a range of about the town?

For now, lets useClean. Considering the range, I have nowhere near enough MP. Lets do it while waiting for recovery. It appears to be a Safe Zone, so I should be able to finish it right away.

She did say something like All four need to be set up is what we learned from that incident....didnt she, so after they discovered this, they slipped past Undead and left three small statues here?

However, the central plaza has a single statue can it be that its formula is different? I do maybe have some kind of feeling that it possibly might have a different effect.

It might have been faster to shatter Stellura-samas statue, but they probably did not want to do that.

Now, will this be enough?

Quest: Cleaning of the Old Temples Chapel was completed.

You have fulfilled specific requirements and acquire Stelluras Blessing

Stelluras Blessing

Blessing given by vice-chief god Stellura.

Reduces cost of Spatial-type magic.

Regarding titles received from gods:

When you act in this world, you might receive divine protection from gods.

Whenever you receive divine protection, it becomes stronger and its name changes between BlessingDivine ProtectionAffection.

Divine protection is displayed as a title and its effect and name are dependent on the gods who grant it.

And the condition to attain it is also up to gods.

If you seek divine protection, take action that will catch the gods attention.

Of course, in a good way. If you catch their attention in a bad way, their Outer One assassins will...

In other words, Blessing is one below Divine Protection. There is no change to the equipment do I have to get Divine Protection first? Or maybe there is another condition that Im missing? It now says that evolution is necessary yes.

Nethers quest is behind Stellura-samas statue?

Uwaa it feels like an entrance to hell. These pitch dark stairs leading lower than underground do require quite some courage, dont they? No, I will go of course.

After a while of descending only accompanied by the sound of footsteps, suddenly my field of vision kind of opens and a passage appears.

Oh my? A visitor, how rare. Please, come here.

I could see the passage open, so the voice must come from there.

To be acknowledged, was it that trial is probably done here. Lets go.

Welcome, o Immortal who aims to become an...elit............

Welcome, I welcome you! Was the smile he made, but his expression gradually turns serious, are you alright? Rather, this person. He has proper skin.

Do I have to undertake a trial here to go to Nether?

............A p-princess? ...Come in, there is no need for trial no, I shall guide you. This way.

Uh...my trial well, if he says there is no need, then lets follow him. ...It appears this room is only connected with several straight passages?

This person is a level 80 Zombie-type. A High Immortal Murder Kreath, is it?

Wasnt that fast?

One waited for has come.

By the goddess...

Good day?

This time its an armor-type. A High Immortal Lethal Knight. Level 90+.

The room itself has a ring, or rather, a slightly lifted stage in the center of it. It must be a trial for close combat. There is an armor person, too, so...

But in the end I ignored all trials and I once again see black stairs from a passage that continued from the last room.

Every time I pass by a room, a new person joins in, but they are all High Immortals. This is where they test people, which is probably why they are so high level.

Please wait a moment. I will go ask Chancellor on what to do.

So there is a chancellor here?

An Elder Lich in the castle.

An Elder Lich, is it.

I was prompted to sit, so I sit down. Lets be obedient here, if it turns into combat I cannot win. Not only are they higher level, but its on a level of final dungeons...

It appears that he went at full speed, and he returned so fast that I did not need wait.

He said to come straight to the castle without taking detours.

We did wait a looong time, yknow What about prayer?

I was told to completely ignore it and bring her to the castle.

I see. If Chancellor says so, there must be some meaning to it.

With great vigour he said that she might end up taking a pointless evolution and hasten reaching the limit of her growth.

Now, lets head straight to the castle.

So the chancellor knows evolution routes? Ill pass on a pointless evolution. Lets listen to him well.

Brought by one person I descend down the stairs ahead of the passage in the spread field of view I see an enormous river. Its width is without doubt measured in kilometers...

I have been waiting for you. Welcome, you who possess the vessel of a king. We welcome you. Now, please get on.

...Is that Thorin-sans evolution? I get on a boat and am carried to the opposite shore.

Other than the boat I ride, there are plenty of other ones which were at this exact moment carrying souls. On my boat there was only me and my guide.

It appears that the place Immortals go to after overcoming the trial, and the place souls come is fairly different.

There are souls here, but appearance-wise it is no different than surface? Well, I will go into details on this later.

...This river is enormous, but it did not take as much time as I thought?

It is a voyage to allow everyone to accept that they are dead. This time there was no such need.

I see then I will be off.

Seen off by the ferryman, this time together with souls I progress along a road to an enormous gate. It feels like a mansion of some noble.

There is a line, but we ignore it and pass by the side.

Inside, there is a place that appears like a court that can be seen in TV dramas sometimes. Lets ignore the fact that the presiding judges job name is Enma. There is no need to say anything. I understand it well.

We will pass through.

So you really came welcome.

We are going to the castle, you can exchange greetings later.

Mhm, everyone is wishing for this. Hurry up and go.

We pass by the right side and leave the building.

This is Nether. If we passed by the left side, we would enter Abyss.

I see. Is that the Evernight Castle that I can see there?

Indeed. Its worn-out, but that ends today. Now, lets go.

It ends today so if royalty comes they will receive permission to do repairs? Conversely speaking, without royalty they cannot? Thats a little bizarre.

There was Stellura-samas statue in the central square of Nether too.

Just as Chancellor the Elder Lich said, we ignore it and head to the castle.

Speaking of Liches, are Ske-san and Alf-san alright? As far as my friend list shows, the two are probably in the middle of their trials...

Well, I will not contact them, so that I dont get in the way of their solo quests. During a solo quest where you have no allies, a single mistake can often make you die. There are no allies to cover you. In options it is possible to set up what to do about messages during solo quests, its a prevention measure against sudden calls interrupting ones concentration.

Nether is fairly lively, or rather, rambunctious Rather than hell, it feels closer to being like heaven? It looks like a normal enormous city. It is fairly dark since its night, but the Residents here are souls, so they probably possess night vision.

Now, this is the first time I see a castle in this game. ...It is decrepit though. Rather, it isnt limited to the castle - buildings here are all worn-out.

Now now, this way.

We arent looking around and I am taken somewhere. Chancellor so were going to an office?

There are maids here, too. They move to the sides right away making way, then lower their heads. Yup, I can feel that I became a princess.

Other than maids, there were also knights, standing sternly.

Well, their appearance is varied though.. There are bones, armors, ghosts. Ones who have human shape are on the better side. ...What a low hurdle.

We arrived at a large and gorgeous door. There are two armor people standing on the sides. They are levels 90+ like it was only natural. Ever since I entered the castle, even maids are at least Lv60+.

This feels so much like a final dungeon that it makes me laugh.

By the way, isnt this the throne room?

Ahead of the door slowly opened by the two armors is well, looks like it.

On an elevated place there was a large and gorgeous chair. Standing next to it there is a bone person.

I brought her straight here, Chancellor.

Good work. I hope she did not pray, did she?

She didnt.

First we need to have her sit on the throne and settle the owner, then we will go to pray.

Then I will tell everyone.

Take care of it.

Aversas Elder Lich, is he level 100.

Also, sitting on a chair before going to pray so tagging a flag affects possible evolutions...

The person who guided me has quickly left the place.

Both vessel and soul are sufficient. The fact you are an Outsider is a trivial issue. ...Please, take a seat.

Is it alright? For me to suddenly come and sit there.

It is enough that I see the color of your soul. And you do possess Stellura-samas Divine Protection, do you not?

I did receive one before coming here, but...

A problematic person would not receive one. Our goddess is fairly strict.

Looks like it will not progress unless I sit down. Although I still wonder whether its really okay for me to sit there so simply, but if hes saying its alright, then lets have it.

I sit on the throne.

You sat on the throne. You grant power to people under your control.

You have fulfilled specific conditions, Title: Ruler of Afterworld was acquired.

You have acquired a home. For information on the housing system, please check help.

A new king was born in the Afterworld. Afterworld recovers its original power. From here on, Outsiders Death Penalty is altered.

Nnn? The last part? Unghh, a housing menu opened.

Aaah, wonderful. Finallyfinally royalty isa lord to serve is...

Chancellor, sorry to bother you when you are moved, but this is no time for that. Come back, grandpa. Princess is troubled.

The first three are, well, I understand them. There is a need to confirm them, but they arent a problem.

The problem is the last one, you are no good, okay? Furthermore, it is a system message for everyone, too.

For now, first...

Chancellor!

What is it, hm?

What is Afterworld?

It refers to Nether and Abyss. In case of pointing at Stellura-samas entire domain, we say Underworld.

I see. So the Ruler of Afterworld is the ruler of Nether and Abyss.

By the way, the front the surface world is called Present World.

I see.

Well, in general its this world and that world.

Well I guess thats it.

The housing menu is my home is BIG! Its completely an entire castle. Maybe I will be able to play baseball in the garden?

The castles knights and maids do function as helpful NPCs.

By the way, didnt everything turn prettier?

Its because everything was revitalized with the coming of a king! This is its original appearance. I wont mind if you want to further change it.

The moment I sat down and there were system log messages, there were also graphical effects. First, Chancellor received a red light of Royal Authority just like during a World Quest(?). Most likely everyone under my control, in other words, all Immortals in Nether and Abyss received it?

And from the throne came a wave of light which made everything prettier as it passed.

There are too many things to check first, lets check the death penalty.

Eeeh...its in Housing menu?

Death Penalty (Normal)

Death Penalty (Red Player)

There are two settings, one for normal death, and for when a PK dies.

...Ahh, I see. When one dies they will not be revived directly at the Save Point square, but pass through Nether once.

What I can set here, is the cost of returning from Nether to the registered save point.

In other words, money that was lost up until now will now come to Nether.

When you are PKd you arent penalized by Nether in any way.

When a PK dies when they are beaten by a player or a Resident, they are only thrown into a prison area. In case they are beaten by a monster, money that was lost enters Nether.

In general, everything but possessed money treatment is the same as always, then the dead person follows the setting and pays the money before returning to the Save Point is it.

I can use others death penalty to expand things. How wonderful. Please forget to deposit your money and die.

With that said, up until now money cost was 50%. 75% for reds.

The setting range is from 10% to 100%. Lets make it 30% and 50%.

The amount of money for Nethers Deathtime Fundraising Rate has been changed.

Normal Player: 50%30%

Criminal Player: 75%50%

This should work.

Next is confirming the title.

Ruler of Afterworld

You have the right to order members of the Afterworld and your Death Penalty is lightened.

Evernight Castle is your home and you can expand the Afterworld.

I see, its a good title. When I die, there is no need for me to pay money.

Looks like the place Outsiders souls come to is in a different place from the one Residents come to. Once the fundraising gathers enough funds, lets make it luxurious. It also looks like there are housing items for it...

Look at the church made with your death penalty money!

Now, before I start staring at the housing menu...

Chancellor, I would like to evolve first?

Then lets go to the central square.

So we head to Stellura-samas statue. Chancellor comes with me as we return the way I came.

The worn-out and decrepit insides now look like new.

I can check the layout in the housing menu, so I probably wont lose my way. It should be enough that I take a look around just to confirm things.

Its a castle, but it feels like a little lonely initial one. From here on I should be able to upgrade it as I like. This part is, well, very game-like.

Housing Menu can be opened anywhere within my owned land area In other words, in my case I can open it when Im anywhere in Nether or Abyss.

Oohh Crystal Lotuses have bloomed. I knew it, a king is needed...

When I look in the direction Chancellor looks, I see Sacred Lotus. So a half-transparent crystal-like Sacred Lotus is Crystal Lotus? There are plenty of them blooming.

I think Sacred Lotuses only bloomed in the mornings, but the moment they are crystal, it turns pointless to think about it. Lets look at them closely later.

When we got down to the town, knights have made their way and were waiting for us, so I pass through it and head straight to the statue.

The first person who guided me here appears to have been waiting by the statue.

I have been waiting. Thanks to you, everything has become pretty and clean. I am grateful.

I did not do anything special...

The existence of a king is important. Please take care of us from now on, Sire.

I will also be in your care. I am still weak, after all.

You will become strong right away. That is how kings are.

Thats how they are. Looking at it from a meta-perspective, the reason the speed of my growth is fast is because Im a player.

I glance at Chancellor, and it seems that I only need to report that I arrived at the statue.

Lets report to the statue that I arrived.

Your arrival to Nether has unlocked new possible Race Evolutions.

The mark in the corner of my sight started to self-assert itself. Its been a while.

Nether Princess

A legitimate member of Nether royalty.

Finally returned home.

Aversa Princess

A legitimate member of Nether royalty.

The ruler of Afterworld, manager of Nether and Abyss.

Nether and Aversa, is it?

Did Aversa appear, hm?

Nether and Aversa have appeared.

I recommend evolving into Aversa.

Same as you, Chancellor?

Indeed. Nether has at most two more evolutions. It would be a great waste.

And in Aversas case?

Now, that is up to you, Sire. In Aversas case, lets just say that the road to Medium will open.

So, to the Outer Ones...

You received Divine Protection. If you are to aim for it, we shall support you with all we have.

I understand. Then I would like to evolve, but...

I shall guide you to your bedroom.

Along with me, knights who formed a corridor have also withdrawn. Is escort necessary in this world? Is what I thought, but apparently they just tried their best for the first time in a while, and they should calm down eventually.

Its not like Im bothered by it, so lets let them do as they please.

Both Outer Ones and Immortals look bizarre, but dont seem much different from normal people. They have will, which is also why they arent called Undead, but Immortals.

Still, the name they address me changed since I sat down on the throne. Its not your highness but sire.

They are quite high level AI, so I should act as to have them acknowledge me.

Please use this place.

The place I was taken to, was a luxurious building a little away from the castle. Is this what they call a royal palace?

This building will serve as your private area. If you need something, you can contact the maids or the knight.

Maids are level 90+ Zombie type and Ghost-type. The knight is level 100 Armor-type? His job is a Royal Guard, that is pretty cool. But since hes here, he must be of the royal guard I guess.

This entire building?

Of course. That castle is ultimately a workplace. This is the home. Now, to the bedroom.

Its a room with good sun exposure no, I guess that was not precise? Its a room with good moon exposure, isnt it? In our case, a room with good sun exposure would be completely harassment, would it not?

...Well, there is no sun in Nether in the first place.

Then I will evolve now.

Yes. I will be waiting here.

Umm, Chancellor? Arent you becoming a doting parent, or rather, a doting grandparent?

...Well, evolution first. Lets leave problems for later. I feel like I wont be able to do anything about it anyway...

I enter the soft bed nope. I enter a simple bedding. Lets change it eventually. Resident Immortals do not sleep, so they probably arent interested in beds.

Considering that, its good enough that there is anything.

Beginning evolution to Extra Race - Aversa Princess.
