I've found a slight issue with my enslaving all the undead in this forest... I'm getting fuck all experience.
It makes sense, even if I don't like it... I get Exp for killing, and right now I'm not killing much except beetles, which are a good source of Life Force, less good for Exp.
I've changed my Minion load-out to 15 Browns, 10 Reds and 10 Greens, hopefully I'll find a new minion totem soon, but I can't remember where they all are. I loved this game, but I loved a lot of games, and the collectables locations have been long since forgotten.
My Spirits have warned me that some snobbish looking woman has lead a group of 25 knights into the forest, I don't remember this but I suppose the Shining Justice had to make their move eventually.
I never really played the game they were from, thought it was pretty shit to be honest, so I don't really know that much about them... still, only twenty five? I have 45 just in my base horde, 35 minions, 5 Gigantes and 5 Flamvell Babies, along with a massive horde of the monsters I've enslaved.
They're lost anyway, so I just ignore them for now, my Spirits are following them after all, they can't do anything without me knowing, I destroy another Node, weakening the shield around Oberon even more, soon the sleepy elf can sleep forever, aren't I nice?
While I'm cutting through roots I find a new spell stone, getting another upgrade.
[Shield: Shield] (Active) Upgraded
Creates a shield around the caster to prevent incoming damage for as long as it is cast
For every 200 HP of damage absorbed, 250 MP is drained
As I'm travelling I come across a forest temple, with more emo elves bitching in it, at least I got some more souls out of it though.
Also, there's gold to be looted here, so that's nice.
The third and final type of monster appears in my path, a large monster with a Boar skull for a head, but again... it's undead.
And my horde gets a powerful brute type, to join my Gigantes.
I find the next node, surrounded by monsters, which I add to my horde, I don't massively care about the lost Exp, I can grind in Horde Mode if necessary. I'm not sure how strong the Shining Justice people are, so I might as well have as many minions as possible, my horde is in the 200s now, with three massive boar monsters, a couple of dozen of the shamanistic stags, and hundreds of the rat archers.
As the node is destroyed, more monsters arrive... but you know how that song and dance goes... I am thankful for more of the boars, they're pretty strong minions after all.
Heading further in the temple gets me more Elf-in-a-Flasks and a new totem... it takes a while to carry it back to the gate, we are a long way from it after all.
Maximum Minion Horde has been upgraded by 5!
Heading back to the tower, I guide my new monster horde to join my undead horde, crowding the tower, I like them, but seriously there were just to many of them following me around at once.
As I go to return to the Forest I pause... game wise I'm supposed to have the Blues for the rest of the Forest, so I should go to Heavens Peak and get them, I know where they are after all, and it's just more undead for me to claim...
The game essentially expects you to go straight to Heavens Peak when Rose mentions it, which I didn't do mostly out of spite.
The logical thing to do is go there, and get the last minion hive, the stubborn thing to do is go back to the forest...
First things first, I'm going back to Spree, I want to spend some more money, and I can't upgrade Spree without actually being there... as I go through the Tower Gate I get approached by a peasant, who kneels over-dramatically.
"Dark Lord! In the hope that you might have pity on us poor wretches, we offer you our finest maiden!" he says gesturing at the farm girl tied to a pair of wooden poles.
"I ain't a maiden! They don't call me Haystack Harriet for nothing!" she says struggling, Haystack Harriet? She's either a prostitute or a slut...
"...She's clearly hysterical... overcome by your magnificent visage, Lord!" he says trembling as I glare down at him.
"We could always use a few more servants at the Tower... an Overlord can never have too many serving girls!" Gnarl says...
He does have a point, and really am I going to only go for virgins? After how many Milfs I've gone for? Milfs are the text book definition of used goods after all.
Observe says she has an STD, but really that's what Cure Disease potions are for, and she is pretty cute...
Still, trying to pas off used goods to me is one thing, trying to convince me that she's pristine condition is another... he doesn't know I can cure diseases after all.
Lifting him by the throat I glare at him as he swiftly pales.
"She is no maiden, but I'll get what was promised to me." I say, as my minions drag Harriet through the gate.
He offered me a Maiden, Spree will pay up.
As he starts to lose consciousness I let him drop, the minions grabbing him as they pull him along the ground, following me as I head into Spree.
No one cheats me, and they certainly don't get to lie to me...
As I storm through the gate, my horde following behind, Archie sees me and immediately pales, quickly realising that something is wrong, he's practically shaking as he approaches me, seeing the idiot being held hostage behind me.
"M-my Lord? I-is there something wrong?" he asks as I turn my glare on him.
"Gather every one from this village, I want every single one in front of me, am I clear?" I say as he immediately agrees, rushing off to follow my orders. As he does I buy 6 more Guards, making all ten of them line up behind me. It's become clear that peasants are idiots who don't know when they've got a good thing...
They flee into fucking hell to get away from me, and try pawning off a diseased girl as a pristine untouched maiden... they're just going to keep disobeying me, in small ways if I don't put my foot down.
Before long all the villagers have been gathered, some tried hiding but my spirits found them, and my minions dragged them out, Archie harshly scolded them for hiding, but I could see his fear.
"I'm sure your wondering why I've had you all gather today... allow me to educate you... I have been a kind lord, I saved you from the Halflings, gave you food, and even had my forces stay here to protect you... and yet some amongst you have taken it upon yourselves to spit on my kindness..." I say as the idiot is thrown in front of me.
"Some of your people have fled through a magical gate that they believed would take them to a safe place... away from my 'Tyranny'... that gate leads to the Abyss, where they are no doubt being tortured endlessly." I say making them gasp, as they look at each other in horror, I wonder how many of them fled through it...
"And now this... pillar of your community took it upon himself to give me a 'Maiden'... I believe she said her name was Haystack Harriet..." I say as Archie facepalms glaring at the fool in front of me. "I don't like being lied to, and I certainly don't like people trying to fool me, I've slaughtered villages for less... But I've decided to give your little village a chance to save yourselves. As an apology for his actions, I am going to take some of the woman from this village, to serve in my tower, in exchange I won't burn this place down. All the woman are to gather on that side, the men over there." I order, as they hesitate I gesture forwards, sending my Minions forwards as Archie starts ordering people to listen, separately the genders.
There are some men who try arguing, trying to hide woman and girls from me but their fellow peasants do the work for me, pulling the girls away, a couple of fights even break out, but before long all the woman and girls have been sent where I ordered them.
This village is small, the entire village barely makes up two hundred people, more than you see in the game, but less than I'd have expected.
"Right. You, you, you and you, go back over there." I say pointing to some older women, though in this case older is probably around forties to fifties, being a peasant doesn't have the highest life expectancy so there aren't any very old people around.
This continues for a while, with me sending more and more back, before I get it down to around twenty remaining.
I do enjoy the feeling of power I get from having an entire village be so afraid of me, being the strongest around is pretty nice...
Looking over the remaining girls one stands out, a blond teen probably around 18/19, mostly because she has some of the biggest breasts I've seen since I got to this world, I'd say E-cup.
"You, stand over there." I order making her pale.
"Y- You don't want me, you want my sister, she is the pretty one!" she says quickly as the other girls push her out of the crowd, my minions surround her quickly, preventing her from running.
"...Is that so, which one's your sister?" I ask making her sigh in relief as she points out another girl in the group I hadn't sent away.
"She is the pretty one..." I say looking over the younger girl, she looks a bit younger, maybe 16? Smaller breasts but she is cuter. "You, join your sister." I order making the older sister pale as her little sister glares at her in anger. She doesn't put up a fight as she stands next to her sister, and she seems angrier at her sister than at me.
"You and you, go over there, you join the sisters." I order picking out another blond, sending her over to the sisters.
"You, go over there. And you." I say turning to a slightly older woman with black hair, early twenties at most. As I go to order her she interrupts.
"You don't want me, I'm feeling very Itchy..." she says quickly as I glare at her. Observe says she's full of shit.
"I don't like liars... Go over there, or burn alive, your choice." I say making a fire ball as she rushes to the three I had already picked.
One of the remaining ones stands out since she's glaring at me with anger, making me smirk at her. She's definitely the eldest of the girls I didn't send away, late twenties/early thirties at a guess.
"I heard what you did to Spree you Brute!" she says as I go to speak... I didn't do anything to Spree, at most I killed a pair of idiots, and a mad farmer... that's nothing.
"If you think I'm a brute now, then you really aren't going to like what I'll be doing to you if you don't join the others." I say, I don't take shit from Peasants... she moves over with a glare.
I want one more... looking over the others I pick a teenaged girl with orange hair, sending her to the group as I send the others back to join the men. The girl says something about Spree being her home, but I ignore her.
I'm a fucking Overlord... A Dark Lord... It's time I truly acted like it...
"Now, I'll let you all deal with the fool who brought this down on you, and take me leave... but I suggest you remember... this is the second time your village has angered me, you won't survive a third time." I say coldly as I walk away. Some of the men in the group try fighting their way through the crowd, but their fellow villagers hold them back, one even gets clubber over the head, knocking him out as the girls are dragged along by the minions as we head back to the gate, forcing them all onto it as I send them back to my Tower as I follow I see Serena and Rose waiting for me.
"This is your home now, you are slaves, servants, property. If you disobey you aren't just dooming yourselves, but your village as well..." I say before turning to Serena. "I have work to do, train these girls and put them to use." I order, getting a bow from her.
"It will be done, My Lord. Do you want them to be maids as well?" she asks.
"...I'll leave it up to you, I'm sure you'll make the right choice." I respond, might as well start letting her run the household side of things.
-30 Reputation with the Village of Spree [0/100] for stealing girls
+20 Obedience with the Village of Spree [80/100] for making your wrath known
-10 Reputation with Archie [20/100] for taking girls from his village
+20 Obedience with Archie [80/100] for making your wrath known
"I won't let you down my Lord." she says, bowing deeply, giving me an amazing look at her cleavage.
Walking back through the portal, I head back to the forest. Fuck doing things in the order the game wants... I'll do things however I want.
And I want to kill off the Shining Justice woman who's still searching the forest for me, she's lost a couple of her knights to the monsters but they're done a good job fighting off the horrors of Evernight...
And that means it's time to cheat, if they're good at fighting then frankly I'm not going to fight them fairly. I have forty minions, but I wouldn't bet on my minions against these knights, and that's why I'm summoning an extra 15 Gigantes, 40 Minions, 5 Fire Sprites and 20 Giants verse 23 knights and a snobby lady with a sword.
Sounds fair to me. I'll add five more Flamvell Babies as well, just to be sure.
Because I have no reason to fight them myself like some moron. I'll just overwhelm them with superior numbers. They're currently moving through the temple I was in earlier, exploring the grounds.
Time to deal the first blow in my battle with the Shining Justice. Heading to the temple I take control of the monsters I come across, growing my forces even more.
It doesn't take long for me to reach them, and I don't bother with niceties or parley, the moment I spot them I send my horde charging forwards.
Lady Clarrisa the Vigorous
Tier – Elite
Level – 50
Clarissa responds quickly attempting to charge me with her golden sword drawn, but I'm not a warrior, it was only my pride and bloodlust making me act like one...
This is technically a boss fight, and you don't fuck around in a boss fight, so I finally use a skill I've had for a while...
A black and red dragon flies from my outstretched hand, soaring towards her as she tries to cut through it with her sword, watching in horror as her sword disintegrates.
You can't block the Powers of Destruction with normal weapons after all. I pumped almost 100K MP into that spell, it would have turned her to a pile of ash in a single hit.
Wasting no time, I cast another one, weaker so it doesn't kill her immediately, she's no real threat without a sword after all, she's got 80k HP, so I just send 79k worth of Destruction damage, grinning as she is sent flying, her golden armour disintegrating where she was struck exposing the damaged flesh as she falls to the floor. I have almost 900k MP, that means I can put out almost 900k damage if I need to.
She doesn't rise again, but she's still alive... mostly.
I do hope the rest of her little crusade are this easy, her knights can't stand against the horde of Gigantes, who crush them with ease as I watch coldly.
The Knights are talented, I can see that as they try to fight back, they're well coordinated, skilled, well equipped. They're definitely better than the Halflings.
It doesn't save them.
The fire from the reds and Flamvell Babies ignites them, melting their armour and burning their flesh, the Greens ambush them in the chaos, leaping onto their backs and stabbing into the gaps in their armour as the browns rush them.
It's a slaughter, one sided and brutal. All things considered today's going pretty well for me...
Of course now I have to go back to the tower, again. I want to take Clarissa to my dungeons so I can interrogate her on where Sparkles is, and the other one whose name I don't know.
Backtracking always fun...
At least it only takes me ten minutes to get back to the gate again. I swear if I have to back track one more time today I'm going to be pissed...
Taking the unconsciousness woman back through the portal I toss her down as Gnarl approaches me.
"This is one of the leaders of a group of worthless 'heroes' calling themselves Shining Justice... take her to the dungeons and put her under constant guard." I order as I take our five of her knights corpses, raising them as Death Knights to make sure she doesn't try going anywhere.
"Of course, Your Malevolence, it's always nice to see a do-gooder taught their place... 'Shining Justice'? Bah, Where do they come up with these ridiculous names?" he chuckles evilly as a pair of Brown Minions grab her dragging her away.
"I'll deal with her when I get back, but I have an elf to kill." I say heading back, this time I'm not coming back till I've dealt with Oberon, he's lived long enough.
Heading back to the temple again, I head to the area that you're supposed to use the blues for, but I'm not doing that...
I have a cunning plan, the 'puzzle' is that there's a river separating the side I'm on, and my goal, and there's a wheel on the other side that the blues need to turn, but there's also giant frogs in the river that'll kill any blues you send since they aren't fighters.
My Solution is simple, Fireballs for the frogs, and to get my minions over the river, I'll just have Gigantes throw them over the river...
The Browns even seem to enjoy being catapulted over the gap, cheering as they fly through the air, smashing into a wall on the over side, fortunately they're pretty durable so they get back up easily enough turning the wheel and extending a bridge so that I can cross.
"Stay back, invader! Know that none of your kind has returned from our sacr-" the ghost cuts off as I stuff him in a Soulflask. I think I'll be fine...
Moving into a cavern as I follow one of the roots, I grab more of the monsters under my command, I've had to leave my Gigantes outside since the cavern is too small for them.
"We are directly under the tree of that Sleeping Elf... the heart of his nightmares." Gnarl says, again, I think I'll be fine since his nightmares are just more undead for my horde.
The fact that the monsters are all undead makes this a cake-walk, and before long another node is destroyed, after exploring some more to make sure I don't miss anything I find another Mana Totem, increasing my MP Total again. Fortunately there's a gate in the cave itself so I didn't need to go far too send it back to the tower.
Heading out of the cave at a back entrance we open up another bridge, heading towards the areas that were previously blocked to me, a group of trolls try and stop me, but my undead just swarm them, I don't really care about losing them since they were free anyway.
It doesn't take long for me to reach the Mother Goddess Temple, again being forced to leave my Gigantes behind since they really don't fit anywhere...
"You are journeying towards damnation, Outsider!" an elf says floating towards me. "We are the ever vigilant ones, Sworn to protect the tombs of our heroes fallen in battle."
So, they're fighter?
Command Spirits.
How convenient... I was just looking for some smaller undead to serve me.
As I do I see more raiders appear along with Jewel, the Hero of Envy...
Well, if she's going to make it that easy for me... as she heads deeper into the temple I smirk, why go all the way to the desert to grab her when she's right here?
- The Wizard -
The Wizard watched from afar as the new Overlord entered the Elven Temple with a look of worry, that stupid selfish fool Jewel had ignored his orders to stay away, and now another Phylactery was in danger...
He was responsible for her Envy of course, but that didn't mean he was happy that she was so obsessed with other people wealth that she'd ignore him and put herself (and more importantly a piece of his soul) in danger.
The New Overlord was practically radiating magic, far more than he was only days before, and he wasn't sure he could beat him in a fair fight any more...
He needed more forces, to match the Necromancer Overlord's, the Heroes might see him as a member of their party... but they were all corrupted so much that they just didn't care enough to join him in an attempt to slay the New Overlord.
At least Khan was on his way, rushing to protect his precious Jewel, he just hoped he'd make it in time.
If it looked like both Khan and Jewel were going to die, then he'd have to join the battle himself... he couldn't lose two more pieces of his soul.
- Kuro -
Killing the troll in my path with the Powers of Destruction I frown, the body was turned to dust, and I can't use dust...
At least I've managed to get more of these guardian elves.
As we move through the temple, I've looted every singe tomb I've come across, I find it funny that the guardian elves are unwillingly helping me loot the very tombs they were sworn to protect. And I definitely appreciate the pile of gold I've looted from this place.
If I don't loot them, someone is going to...
I keep seeing more Raiders as I move, but they just flee deeper in the temple, not fighting me. Cowards.
It doesn't take too long before I manage to find all the switches to open the Inner Sanctum, normally this would be hard... but again, Necromancer.
As I enter the Inner Sanctum I hear Jewel's angry voice.
"It's gone! The Statue's Gone! I told you lot to hurry up! Fools! We're meant to be the thieves! And look, those rock-huggers have got here first! Let's get out of here... You, call the Overseer" the caramel skinned Arabian thief shouts.
Escape? I think not...
As she summons another of the weird tentacle things I killed at Castle Spree a massive heavily armoured man with a giant flail appears in a flash of light. Oh, this is just perfect... two heroes for the price of one.
"Honey! Love Muffin! I've found you! You mustn't use the Overseers, snuggle bottom, the old man don't like it!" he says as I summon Shisui and Kushimaru, I can't blame them for not being able to keep up with him if he was teleporting.
"Shisui, use Kotoamatsukami on the girl, make her try and kill the man." I order, getting a nod as he puts Jewel under his Genjutsu.
The change is immediate, she goes from looking annoyed to outright murderous, leaping at the baffled Khan and stabbing her dagger into her neck, making him roar in rage and confusion as he swings his flail at her, knocking her into the wall with a sickening thud, she's alive, only just though.
She's a thief, not a fighter, and Khan is far far stronger than her after all, and that was a very strong blow.
"J-Jewel?" he asks pulling the dagger out of his neck, I'm not completely surprised that he survives the hit, he is the second to last boss after all. "Honey Bunny? Co-come on, stop playing... get up..." he begs clutching her unconscious body, screw her annoying gimmick boss fight, she can just fall here and now instead.
As Khan is distracted I send Shisui and Kushimaru to attack him, along with the elves who slaughter the overseer, taking away his escape route.
"You did this... YOU TOOK HER FROM ME!" he roars swinging his flail at Shisui, but he wasn't known as Shisui of the Body Flicker for nothing, and he just vanishes, appearing above Khan as he stabs down, sliding his blade into Khan's neck as Kushimaru pieces Khan with Nuibari, they practically dance around the fool as he swings wildly, never hitting anyone as the two Shinobi simply shred him to pieces with ease, repeatedly slashing at him as they easily dodge the swinging flail.
I don't even need to get involved, and I'll happily sit this fight out if I can, letting someone else do the fighting for me is just fine.
Khan is strong, Elite level 95 strong to be exact... but Shisui and Kushimaru are immortal, they can't tire, they can't die. Even Khan's superior strength is useless against an opponent he just can't kill, or even hit.
Dex build vs Strength Build I guess...
Before long, this battle is over and Khan falls to one knee, his Flail falling from his hand as Shisui stabs him in the throat, pulling the blade out as Khan collapses clutching his throat. He can barely move with all the wires from Nuibari binding him together.
Ninjas are OP.
Still playing it safe I have Shisui decapitate him, staying away till his head hits the ground, a black mist leaving his body before he explodes, just like Melvin.
Hearing something behind me I turn just in time to see a black fireball fly towards me, making me dive out of the way as it soars past melting the stone where it hits.
"You Fool! You insolent thief!" the Wizard roars, launching another fireball at me, I return fire with my Powers of Destruction, our spells striking each other.
"Wonderful, I get to kill three annoyances today." I say launching another dragon made of Destruction Magic at him.
"I think not, Imposter. You shouldn't have left the Tower, Boy. You were safe there, now you'll die in this temple, and I'll reclaim what is mine! Minions, Obey!" he shouts, causing the minions to start acting weird, despite me having the Gauntlet they stop obeying my instructions as the Wizard smirks...
Gathering my Mana I launch a large sphere made of the Powers of Destruction at the unmoving minions, as it passes over them they are all dragged into the Sphere, being disintegrated as I wipe out my own minions coldly.
Power of Destruction Move Extinguished Star added.
"Nice try, Second Overlord, but your time is over." I sneer as I launch more Spheres at him, pumping almost all my MP into them as I down a MP potion with a smirk.
He starts spinning like a fucking beyblade as he creates a hurricane around him, destroying my Flamvell babies and the elves with ease, but he's taking a considerable amount of damage as he's pulled towards the multiple spheres, this might be Rias's move, but I don't need to waste time preparing like she does, as long as I have the MP I can spam these with ease.
Shisui body flickers behind him, stabbing him through the back, before he gets set aflame by a black fireball, it's mildly funny watching an Uchiha get burnt by a flame that looks like Amaterasu, but as he falls he quickly heals from the wounds rising again.
Good luck killing immortal undead, asshole... Impure World Reincarnation is broken, and I love it. I want more Ninja DNA so I can make more undead Ninjas.
Amusingly one of the Nodes for Oberon's shield gets destroyed by a stray spell.
The Wizard is annoying though, he keeps teleporting to escape the gravitational pull of my Spheres, as he throws more magic at me, managing to hit me several times, each hit lowers my HP by about 10% but each time he lowers me to half I just drink a HP potion fully restoring my health. This is a battle of attrition, and I have dozens of HP and MP potions...
But this is getting annoying, I don't have any summons with me since my Gigantes couldn't fit in the temple, and my others have all died, either to him, or to me.
As my MP fills again I prepare one last spell to finish this, he keeps teleporting around, so I'll just use something far harder to dodge...
First I order Kushimaru to grab Jewel, moving her away as I make my move, compressing my Powers of Destruction into a dozen tiny spheres sending them flying towards him, as he goes to teleport I make my second move.
Power of Destruction Move Ruin the Extinct added.
"Nullify!" I shout, making my barely used Sacred Gear act, taking away his ability to teleport as he is struck by the spheres, his body being destroyed without a trace instantly as I laugh.
My eyes widen as a black wraith floats in the spot his body was in seconds ago, before I can react it flees through the ceiling just as another sphere hits it.
FUCK. Fuck, Fuck, Fuck.
I knew he could jump bodies... and I had the perfect chance to end the biggest threat to my rule, and I blew it. FUCK.
- The Second Overlord -
As he fled the temple, flying far and fast, he cursed.
He had the perfect chance to kill the biggest threat to his return, and he blew it.
Managing to confuse, if not turn the minions was good, but he didn't expect his opponent to just slaughter his own Minions without hesitation, and his power was horrifying, the Wizards body was destroyed in an instant, and he managed to take away his ability to teleport...
These lands weren't safe for him any more, he couldn't risk staying here where he'd be hunted down, he's seen the Necromancer Overlord enslave the spirits of the elves with ease, and he was not going to join them in a fucking flask...
He wasn't giving up, ruling this world was his right... but he needed power, and forces to defeat the Overlord.
He couldn't deny that the Necromancer was indeed an Overlord any more, he was even an impressive one... but he would still die, he just needed to take a new path towards his goal.
The Overlord would be hunting the other Heroes, and it pained him to know his soul pieces would soon be destroyed, but he needed to leave, and he knew exactly where he was going...
He needed power, he needed an army, fortunately there was one already made for him... he planned on conquering the Glorious Empire after he'd beaten his Rival Overlord, but perhaps he should put them to use...
After all, possessing someone worked out well for him once, who's to say it wouldn't work for him again?
Still, he could at least cause some chaos before he left, if only to delay the Overlord.
- Kuro -
Rewards Gained for beating three Heroes before you were given the quests to do so.
Rewards: 200 Credits, Khan's Flail Trophy, Jewel's Dagger Trophy, The Wizards Staff Trophy, Blood of Jinpachi Munashi, Blastsword Shibuki, Companion Gem Kushina Uzumaki, Skill Orb: Shunshin no Jutsu
Requirements for Dimensional Jump have been fulfilled.
...That softens the blow, but I'm still pissed. I suppose I did beat four Heroes, The Wizard is dead, even if the Second Overlord isn't. But I'm not done here, I want to at the very least wipe out the Seven Heroes and solidify my control over this side of the mountain range.
My anger is entirely internal, this was my fuck up. I could have ended this right here, but I got cocky... no I got Prideful and it cost me a chance to eliminate a major threat. I was so smug about stealing one of Sirzechs moves that I let my guard down.
The moment his body was destroyed I should have cast Trap Soul, shoving him in a flask for me to devour.
Instead he's fled, to plot and scheme against me. And I have no idea where he's going, or who he will be possessing... this is going to come back to bite me, I can only hope it won't be a fatal bite...
"Your Sinisterness, perhaps you should return to the Tower for now, the sleeping elf can wait." Gnarl says hesitantly.
Yes, yes I should, if only so I can make sure I have the Minions Loyalty... and if I don't they can join the others in death. I don't need them, so killing them to prevent them from betraying me is perfectly fine.
First I summon some of my Skeletons, there's a spell stone here, and I'm not carrying it...
Minion: Berserk Upgraded (will be upgraded when it is unlocked)
I'm not high enough level to use it yet, I need to grind Overlord soon.
Heading back to the gate with Kushimaru carrying Jewel I head back to my tower storming towards Gnarl as I coat my hand in the black aura from my Powers of Destruction.
"M-my Lord?" he asks hesitantly.
"That was my predecessor, the former Overlord, and my Minions stopped obeying me when he showed up... so, is there any reason why I shouldn't disintegrate you all to stop him from turning you against me?" I ask angrily.
"I assure you, that won't be necessary, your Malevolence, the Minions hesitated out of confusion, there has never been two Overlord's at once before, but you proved yourself the True Overlord when your Predecessor fled in cowardice... you are the One True Overlord now, Master." he says bowing.
+41 Obedience with the Dark Tower [91/100] for defeating your Predecessor
+31 Reputation with the Dark Tower [81/100] for proving yourself
+41 Obedience with Gnarl [93/100] for defeating your Predecessor
+31 Reputation with Gnarl [93/100] for proving yourself
...He's telling the truth.
"So if he returns to the Tower?" I ask trailing off.
"Then he'll be dealt with like any other intruder, if he wanted to be the Overlord then he should never have fled..." Gnarl says with a cold chuckle making me smirk. "Though, after that beating I doubt he'll be facing you outright anytime soon... be careful Master, he's weaker than you, but he's a sneaky one!" he warns.
"Then we'll have to be cautious not to get pulled into any plots, but for now... another 'Hero' for my dungeons..." I say heading down to the dungeons as I throw Jewel into a cell, pausing for a moment before I strip her naked and chain her to a wall, making sure she isn't hiding anything, she is a sneaky thief after all. The Cells are small, and they aren't made for the comfort of the prisoners, just cold stone walls, a small stone bed in the corner and a bucket, with chains on the walls.
I've chained both her arms to the wall, they have some slack allowing her to move to the bed and bucket, but she won't be able to even reach the cell door, a large iron abomination, with a normal lock... I need to upgrade that, normal locks won't hold in more talented people after all.
The chains are artifacts apparently, they can be made to retract into the wall, pulling whoever is chained up back to the wall.
Still, Jewel is pretty weak, and there's a bunch of death knights outside her door so she won't be going anywhere.
Moving over to Clarissa I repeat my actions, stripping her damaged armour off, and chaining her to the wall. Pulling out a HP potion I force her to drink it, waiting for a moment while she regains her consciousness.
She goes from confused to panicked quickly, struggling against the chains as I click my fingers activating the enchanted chains as they pull her back against the wall, her arms spread wide in a Y shape as they are held up.
"Stop struggling, you won't be escaping." I order making her freeze.
"You? I take it you're the Overlord we've heard so much about." she sneers at me, making me raise an eyebrow under my helmet.
"I am, and in case you didn't notice, you failed pathetically in defeating me. All your men have been killed, and resurrected as my Undead Slaves, only you remain alive." I say coldly walking towards her and grabbing her neck with my armoured gauntlet, glaring at her.
"...And what is to become of me?" she asks after a moment, nervousness creeping into her snobby tone.
"I haven't decided yet, I'll be interrogating you to find the rest of your little group, Sparkles and Cedric, so I can wipe them off the face of my world, but after that? Torture, Rape, Execution followed by an eternity of servitude as one of my undead, I just haven't decided yet." I say as her eyes widen in fear. "Don't look so surprised, you challenged an Overlord, Evil is what we do." I say with a cold laugh.
"The Sacred Grove... that's where Sparkles is... no need for torture, I don't know where Cedric is, he was sent on a mission, but Sparkles is in the Evernight Forest Sacred Grove." she says quickly as I let her throat go.
"...you realise that you've just taken away my only reason not to kill you? That knowledge was the only reason I left you alive..." I say with another cold laugh.
"I- Please! I'm no threat to you, you don't need to do this..." she begs as I smirk at her, letting the chains lengthen making her fall to the floor.
"I'll leave you for now, when I next return you have two choices. Kneel and serve me in whatever capacity I desire, or you can Stand and die, it will not be quick, not will it be painless, they'll speak in hushed tones for decades about the things I'll do to you before I allow you to die." I say turning and leaving her to think, there's something satisfying about forcing my former enemies to serve me, and I want to max out Scribe soon, I'm hoping it'll do what I think it does... Alchemist was extremely useful, so I'm hoping all the production classes will be just as useful.
Locking her cell as I leave I enter Jewels and repeat the same, healing her and waking her up, she's far faster to wake up as I stare at her in confusion, there's something... off about her.
"Wh-where am I? You shouldn't have done this, Overlord, we killed your Predecessor and my allies will kill you as well!" she threatens as I smirk.
"What allies? Khan's Dead, and is the Wizard and Melvin, Oberon's busy taking a nap, William is in the middle of his orgy, Goldo's digging for Gold, so who's going to help you exactly?" I mock as she freezes. "I'll cut to the chase, you have two choices. Join me and live, or fight and die, slowly." I say almost repeating myself.
As she goes quiet, deep in thought I walk closer, seeing her flinch as I do... why does she have two souls? This close I can feel it, the second soul... wait, soul shard inside her... Creating a Soulflask I use Trap Soul and pull the Soul Shard from her as she screams in pain as a black mist leaves her, fighting as it's dragged into my Flask.
Soul Flask (The Second Overlord's Soul Piece) added.
Oh, you fucked up Second, you fucked up big time... thanks for the snack you fucking moron.
"Wh-what was that? What was inside me?!" she asks drawing my attention to her.
"A Shard of the Second Overlord's Soul. You're welcome. I'll leave you to think... decide before I return." I say taking a moment to look over her dusky skin... I haven't had many girls with different skin tones since I spent so long in Japan (with Devils all being Japanese due to Anime Logic). I'm having her, but I'll give her a chance to join me of her own free will.
Walking out of the room I pause to order two of the Death Knights to stand directly in front of her cell, just in case she tries anything. Closing and locking the cell behind me, I think about what to do next. Switching to my non-combat outfit from Serena first, it's more comfortable, and I'm not going after Oberon today after all, he's a non-existent threat since he won't be attacking me in his Sloth, even better he's keeping Goldo trapped in the Golden Hill's which mean the only major threat right now is William, The Second Overlord, the Netherghuls, Sparkles and the Empire... oh and the Forgotten God.
Nothing I need to worry about...
First things first, I need to take to Rose. I just killed her father after all, I should make sure it's not going to be a problem, and if it is going to be a problem, then I need to either imprison or kill her.
The Affection and Obedience should help me decide how to deal with her.
Heading up to the private quarters I enter her room without knocking, why should I after all? This is my tower after all.
"Lord Kuro? Can I help you?" she asks as she pauses in brushing her hair.
"We need to talk, about your father." I say as she freezes, flinching slightly.
- Rose -
Oh dear... she had hoped to keep the fact that one of the Heroes was her father secret, Overlord's don't tend to like heroes or their families after all.
Before she could respond he continued.
"He's dead, he attacked me while I was killing Khan the Warrior and capturing Jewel. I'll be blunt, is that going to be a problem? Oh, and a warning, I have a method of detecting lies, if you do lie then you'll be joining him in death." he says coldly, making her pause.
...Her father, was not a good father. He was so obsessed with killing evil that he barely ever paid attention to his children, so she wouldn't mourn him to much, what was more important was the fact that three heroes had fallen, only three were left...
And her father and Khan were two of the strongest ones, the others didn't stand a chance... The Overlord was far stronger than she'd realised...
"No, My Lord... I expected you would do battle with him eventually, I had prepared myself for this, I've chosen my side." she says rising and approaching him, placing a hand on his chest gently.
She wasn't even lying, she knew one of them would die, she just didn't think it would happen so quickly, it was nice to see she'd picked the right side.
- Kuro -
+30 Obedience with Rose [30/100] for exceeding her expectations
+20 Affection with Rose [40/100] for proving yourself worthy
...Guess I don't have to kill her. Good to know.
"Smart of you, I'm fairly glad I don't have to kill you, good mistresses are hard to find." I say calmly, placing my hand on her cheek, stroking it slightly.
"...I'm sure they are, My Lord." she says hesitantly, before I move back with a sigh.
"I have things to do today, an Overlord's job is never done, so I'll leave you for now." I say walking away, so far so good.
I'm still keeping her under watch though, at least until I've done enough damage to the Empire that she won't consider trying to switch sides... if she tries contacting the Empire she'll be in the dungeons waiting for her punishment within the hour.
This is why I like Velvet more, she's less conniving, mostly because she just wants wealth and luxury. She's materialistic, and while she's also pretty manipulative she's not even close to being as bad as her sister, and in Canon if she's chosen then she will remain loyal.
Next job... I need to level Overlord up to 40, it's at 38 now, so this won't take long.

More Damage Reduction while I'm in my Overlord gear, some Better Mace skills and a new spell, nothing major but I do like my levels being at multiples at five.
Next job, something I've put off.
Summoning my first Fate Servant.
My two choices that I can summon at the moment is the Phantom of the Opera or Mata Hari.
Mata Hari is Chaotic Neutral, and Phantom is Chaotic Evil. They are both Assassin's, but Phantom is a Two Star, while Mata Hari is One Star.
I might as well start small, just to be safe. Mata Hari can be my test summon, since I don't think she's even a fighter, she's a Spy if I recall correctly, and that means I can use my spirits to spy on her, while she spies on Rose. It's an experiment, to test both Rose and Mata Hari's loyalty.
Heading to my room, I close and lock the door, so I'm not bothered while I'm doing this.
How the hell does this even work? Taking out the card I call up the skill in my head, making the card glow and vanish, before a red summoning circle appears on the ground, glowing brightly.
The Game is convenient as ever, I see...
[Summon Servant (Fate)] is on a 24 Hour Cool-down.
Fine by me. I'm in no rush.
As the blowing subsides, I look at the admittedly beautiful woman standing in my room with a calm smile.
"Servant, Assassin. I go by the name of Mata Hari. Nice to meet you." she says with a light bow, making her barely covered breasts bounce slightly in her almost Arabian dancer outfit.
"A pleasure to meet you, I am Kuro, your summoner, and new master." I say calmly, looking at her level.
Mata Hari
Tier – Regular
Level - 1
Summons start weak, at least One Star ones do, so I don't need to worry about them betraying me, I could swat her like an insect. And her Obedience has started at 40, so I don't think I need to worry about Servants turning on me the moment they are summoned. I'm sure she's decently strong since she's not human, no matter what she looks like, but she can't pose a serious threat without me levelling her.
"It's an Honour to meet you Master, I have a decent understanding of the situation, though it is odd to be summoned without a Holy Grail War happening..." she says, so they get some information when they are summoned? Good to know.
"...What do you know?" I ask after a moment, I want to know what the summoning, or more likely the Game told her.
"That you are a Dimension Traveller, summoning people to serve you in your adventures." she says calmly, that's fine, she doesn't know any specifics after all.
"That's pretty much correct... I know a bit about you, but what are your specialities?" I ask, making her smile as she moves her arms slightly, incidentally pushing her cleavage together and drawing my eyes, for just a moment making her giggle at me.
"Se-duc-tion, My Master... I'm not much of a fighter, Espionage is my speciality..." she says with a sultry tone moving closer to me.
"Convenient then, that I have someone who I need you to keep an eye on, isn't it? I'll just cover the basics, but I am a Ruler, in the process of conquering these lands. There's a rival empire on the other side of the mountain range my Tower is located on, and I have reason to suspect one of my Mistresses might turn on me... her name is Rose, your task is to watch her carefully for any sign of betrayal." I explain to her as she listens.
"May I ask why you suspect her, Master?" she asks after I finish.
"There were Seven Heroes responsible for killing my Predecessor, I've been fighting them so I can secure this side of the continent, I just killed their leader when he ambushed me, she is his Daughter. She claims she expected this to happen when she joined me, and I mostly believe her, but until I've finished the rest of the 'Heroes' and the Empire I can't let my guard down." I say, I really do hope Rose doesn't do something stupid, but if she does she will suffer for it, that I can say for certain.
'Servants Quarters' added to your Tower.
Each time a Servant is summoned another room will be added for them.
Ignoring the fact that my tower just gained another floor, I lead Mata down to the new servant's quarters, showing her to the room with her name on the door, the only room on this floor oddly enough.
"I'll leave you to get settled in, Rose doesn't leave the tower so it shouldn't be hard to find her for a spy of your skill, and if you need anything, speak to Serena, an Elf with white hair." I say getting a bow from her, again deliberately putting her cleavage on display, she's a dangerous one for reasons I didn't expect.
"I will, Master. Spying on a mistress will be child's play for me..." she says before she enters her room, looking around in approval, as she walks away she sways her hips seductively, giving me a look over her shoulder as she smiles.
If nothing else, she's a danger to my Libido.
Now there's one last thing I want to do for now, and that's summon some more DxD people...
Heading down to my throne room, I decided to be over-dramatic, I look about ten years older than I did when they last saw me, so this could be entertaining...
Sitting on my throne, I summon three people, as they all appear in front of me looking around in shock before they look at me in shock, as I see her preparing an Ice spell I realise this might have not been the best idea.
"It's me, Serafall. I realise I look rather different from last time we met but I am still Kuro..." I say making her pause.
"What on earth have you done? Time Travel? Or is this a potion?" she asks after staring at me.
"I believe we are in another world, Sister... how long have you been gone from out world, Kuro?" Sona asks as she and Rias look at me in shock.
"...a few days actually. I've artificially aged myself to be taken more seriously, I am trying to conquer this world after all. Long Story." I say shrugging as Rias rushes me, practically jumping into my lap.
"You look amazing! And you feel so powerful..." she says placing her hands on my face gently.
"...are you really going to ignore the fact that he just mentioned trying to take over the world?" Sona asks with a sigh, and a slight blush. I was planning on summoning both Peerage's for training but I don't have the affection with Sona's to summon them, and I can't summon Gasper either.
I'll allow it with their King's permission.
Small groups can be summoned if you have enough with their leader from now on, it's logical enough for me to make the adjustment.
"Are you both going to ignore the other world thing?! What's going on?" Serafall asks in confusion.
"Your Malevolence, I... see that you are busy... it can wait." Gnarl says doing a 180 and leaving the room quickly.
"What was that? Also.. your Malevolence?" Sona asks with a raised eyebrow.
"That was Gnarl, a Minion, they're a species made to serve the Overlord, that's me now, in their conquests, and yeah I'm pretty much a fantasy Dark Lord at the moment." I say with a shrug. "Anyway, long story short Serafall... I can travel to other worlds, and time doesn't move in our world while we're here. I just thought you'd like the vacation from your busy job, you could stay here without missing anything after all... you could have all the Sona-tan time you could ever want without work getting in the way." I say making her eyes widen briefly, she got the message, Sona was summoned so I can fulfil my side of our deal, and seduce her, and Serafall's here to pay up when I do.
Sona sighs as she watches Serafall lighten up in happiness, glomping her sister.
"Please don't encourage her..." she says.
"Sorry... and I summoned you two to fulfil my end of our deal, I can train you and your Peerage's without worrying about the time constraints here after all. I can send you back if you want, or I can summon your Peerage's here for a training trip." I offer making her furrow her brows for a moment, Rias barely listens as she cuddles against me.
"If I am not missing anything, then I suppose using this opportunity to train is the smartest idea... and it can't deny that I'm interested in seeing another world, even if it's Fantasy, not Sci-fi." she says with a smile, as she pries Serafall off her. Rias agrees, still nuzzling against me as I lightly grope her ass.
Focusing again I bring both Peerage's, Rias reluctantly climbs out of my lap as they both calm their Peerage's down, Gasper looks like he's having a mental breakdown to be honest, probably should have thought about that, but Rias and Koneko manage to calm him enough.
As Serena approaches I order her to guide them to the guest rooms for now, Serafall giving me a look as they leave me, we can talk later...
That should be fun, I might summon some more eventually but I think I'll spread it out, not summoning people all at once...
Now there's only one problem.
I'm extremely Horny... Rias grinding herself into my lap, Jewel and Clarissa being naked and chained, Mata Hari being the expert seductress she is... I need to get laid, heading back upstairs I pause as I see one of the new girls from Spree. More specifically the one who glared a lot, looks like Serena hasn't finished their outfits yet since she's still in her peasant clothes.
Something interesting is that none of them have Affection or Obedience stats, they're just classed as Female Servants in my log with no stats to grind. Which means I have no reason to be nice... right? She's a slave, brought here in exchange for my not slaughtering her village, and that means she doesn't have any rights.
"You, glaring one. What's your name." I ask as I approach her, making her turn to me angrily.
"...Darcie, my name is Darcie." she says looking away from me.
"Well, Darcie. Follow me, I have something for you to do." I say making her scoff under her breath, freezing as I glare at her. "Or alternatively, I can head back to spree, and punish them for your disobedience... ten executions should suffice for a first time offender." I say with a light smirk as she flinches, following me hesitantly as I head back to my room.
Entering my bedchambers I wait for her to enter as she freezes realising what this room is, before she enters slowly, flinching as I lock the door.
Seeing no reason to play coy I pull my tunic off, getting undressed as she looks away, after I strip completely I approach her, forcing her to turn around as her brown eyes try to look at anything but my naked body.
Grabbing her dress I start to undo it as her hands come to mine, trying to stop me.
"I-I'm a married woman, surely you have your own mistresses?" she asks before she yelps as I simply grab her dress on both sides and rip it off her, exposing her large naked breasts as I grab one of them roughly, tweaking the nipple as I move my other hand down and pull her underwear of her leaving her fully naked.
"I do, but Serena's busy and Rose... well I have my reasons for not using Rose... I've decided to fuck you, you can either accept and do your job, Slave, to try and fight me in which case not only will you get fucked anyway, you, and your husband will both be executed afterwards. Get on the bed. Now." I say glaring as she trembles.
Moving almost robotically to the bed, laying on her back with tears in her eyes. She doesn't have Affection, so there's no affection reward... so I don't care what she thinks of me.
As I climb onto the bed I press my rock hard shaft against her dry pussy, pushing forwards as I sink into her married pussy, making her whimper.
As I start to thrust into her, I smirk at her, deciding to demonstrate the powers of an Eromancer... Arose, Alter Libido, Touch of Pleasure, Enhance Pleasure, Alter Sensitivity, Lubricate.
The reaction is immediate, as she moans out loud before she covers her mouth in shock, her eyes widening. Good luck keeping your moans in... this combo is enough to affect even Experienced Devils and Horny Youkai, you don't stand a chance.
Moving my head down I take one of her nipples into my mouth, smirking around the nipple at her barely muffled moans as I thrust into her, my tongue swirling around her nipple teasingly.
Casting Liquid Production makes her lactate, and Alter Taste makes the milk taste like chocolate, this world doesn't have chocolate milk after all, so I'll make my own...
After a few minutes, I feel her orgasm building quickly under my magic, so with a smirk I pull out of her, getting a whimper from her in the process, as I teasingly rub my shaft along her drooling slit.
"That's enough for now, you can leave." I say moving off her, as she looks at me in shock.
"M-my Lord?" she says hesitantly, not moving from the bed.
"I said you can leave... or alternatively you can stay... it doesn't make a difference to me, I can just grab one of the other girls, or maybe Serena will be free now." I say casually, smirking internally at her hesitation, as she doesn't move.
"I-it wouldn't be right for me to leave, as the eldest I should protect the younger girls..." she says looking away from me.
"So you're going to stay? Weren't you just saying something about who you were married, what would your husband think?" I taunt moving back on top of her, running my shaft along her still soaked pussy, not quite pushing it in.
"I-I'm just protecting the other girls from your depravity, you Brute..." she says not looking at me, as I pull back, flipping her over and pulling her onto her knees, her face pressed against the bed.
"How Noble, reach back and spread your ass cheeks for me, oh Heroic One..." I say watching in amusement as she obeys, not responding to my taunts as I press myself against her dripping quim, and thrust forwards, using my new position to slam myself in to the hilt as she moans into the bed.
It's good to be the Overlord, and the Eromancer.
- Bonus Scene – Jewelled Cage -
Sitting on her cell bed she sighed, looking at the chains connecting her to the wall, with all her skills she could probably undo them, and she could probably open the cell door.
What she couldn't do was beat the Undead thing she spotted outside her cell when the Overlord left. And she definitely couldn't fight her way out of the tower with no weapons... or clothing.
Her mind was clearer than it had been in years... after her shock passed, she could see how much the shard had effected her mind. She was greedy, and selfish, that was just how she was, but in the past she was happy with her treasure, but after they beat the Overlord she was eternally unsatisfied... no matter what she took she just wasn't happy.
And look where it got her, she went to the Temple despite the warnings, and now she was stuck in the Overlord's Prison, choosing between slavery and death (which would likely come with some more slavery, her corpse joining his forces...)
Her choice was obvious, she didn't 'do' pain... and she wasn't that Heroic...
As much as it hurt her pride, she'd serve him.
IN the best case scenario, he'd just want her for her skills, she'd get to keep leading the Raiders, and steal for him, keeping her wealth and freedom despite working for him...
More likely he'd take her massive wealth for himself, taking command of her Raiders, keeping her as a trophy, a toy.
The Helm covered almost everything, but she saw the way his eyes trailed over her body, she saw the lust burning in his gaze.
Honestly she was surprised that she was left unmolested, she was honestly expecting him to take her on the spot...
She'd led Khan around for years, never so much as letting the dumb brute touch her, but that wasn't going to be so simple with the Overlord... she'd be taken, whether she chose to serve him or not... all she was deciding is if she was tortured and killed afterwards.
And she didn't do pain... so she supposed she had a new employer... or would that be Master?
