Taking advantage of Ainz hasn't fully crossed over into this world, Asahi directly came to the Re-Estize Kingdom, which is the kingdom that Ainz mainly targets in the original work, or rather, it is not mainly aimed at it, but just because it is the closest.
Later, to establish his own nation, Ainz conquered this kingdom, slaughtering many people and using them as sacrifices, which ultimately summoned the terrifying Dark Young.
It can only be said that Ainz is no longer human, but to be honest, the war itself is not about right or wrong, but about perspectives, so Asahi didn't particularly judge Ainz's actions.
However, in this kingdom, there were indeed a few noteworthy individuals, such as Gazef Stronoff, Brain Unglaus, Climb, and Princess Renner.
These characters, who played significant roles in the original work, along with some adventurer teams, were now of interest to Asahi. Although he wasn't particularly concerned about them now, he planned to take his time to slowly train them. After all, there was still a period before Ainz would descend into this world.
With his abilities, Asahi could nurture these individuals, ensuring that when Ainz faced them, it would be more challenging and entertaining. As for the women around Ainz, while they might appear appealing, their true forms were quite different, leaving Asahi uninterested.
Right now, he only participates because he found it intriguing.
"Gazef Stronoff!"
Asahi directly located Gazef Stronoff, the Warrior Captain, who was resting at home. The people of this world were far inferior to those in the game. They have the qualifications, but the game does not.
Here, talent determined one's abilities, unlike in the game where leveling up depended on experience and equipment quality. Equipment played a crucial role, and Ainz's team possessed world-class items capable of influencing the entire world. This world had been thoroughly conquered by players, with a new wave of players arriving roughly every century.
The Great Tomb of Nazarick, along with Ainz, followed this pattern. Before him, many had already arrived.
Hearing his name suddenly called out, Gazef was startled. He didn't expect someone could enter his home unnoticed.
"Who are you, and why are you in my house? It's not polite to intrude!"
Looking at Asahi in front of him, Gazef asked warily, as Asahi's appearance was too abrupt.
"My name is Asahi, and I am a seer. I've come to inform you of a critical matter concerning the survival of your kingdom."
Asahi adopted the role of a seer and tapped his staff, causing a light screen to appear before Gazef.
Upon seeing the images, Gazef's expression changed, because he saw himself, the old king, and many of his friends in a battle he had never experienced.
"What it that?!"
Looking at such images, Gazef was confused until he saw Ainz casting Super-Tier Magic. At that moment, Gazef was utterly overwhelmed. The humans in this world could only wield low-tier spells, but this unbelievably powerful Super-Tier Magic didn't even need to be fully unleashed to be terrifying, as it is scary enough to look at the formation.
However, Asahi did not respond to Gazef's immediate questions. Instead, he continued showing more images. Gazef then saw countless soldiers from the kingdom's army dying from a single spell, their corpses sacrificed to summon the Dark Young, which then wiped out innumerable lives.
Then he also saw himself recognizing the undead mage and ultimately dying at his hands in a ridiculously futile manner. Gazef couldn't help but feel embarrassed at the sight of his own laughable and ineffectual death.
"This is the future I have observed!"
Asahi said with a smile. He knew that his presence would undoubtedly arouse Gazef's suspicion, but he didn't care. After all, he was here for his own amusement.
"The future, huh? This is an unbelievable scene. How could we ever defeat such a being? What is your purpose in showing me this?"
Gazef wasn't a fool. He wanted to understand Asahi's motives.
"My purpose? I don't mind telling you. I'm here to have fun, to make the game more interesting. Don't you think that undead mage is too strong? For him, defeating you all would be as easy as swatting flies."
"But if you become stronger, strong enough to challenge him, wouldn't that make things much more interesting?"
Asahi didn't hide his intentions, and revealed it directly. These words also made Gazef shiver. Asahi's plan was to toy with them, to show them these visions to train them and make them stronger for his own amusement. This was a bizarre concept for Gazef.
In short… Gazef was stunned. He never imagined something like this could happen.
"Your Excellency, are you serious?"
Gazef felt speechless, like punching into cotton. He initially thought Asahi might have some nefarious motive, something he would hide or dress up as a noble cause, like saving the world.
But to his surprise, Asahi straightforwardly admitted it was all just for fun.
At this moment, Gazef's mind was a jumble of confusion.
"It seems unbelievable, doesn't it? But from my perspective, this is just a game. For you, however, it's an opportunity, a chance to save yourselves."
"If I hadn't shown up, your future would have inevitably led to this point. You all are powerless against such a being, which is why I decided to make the game more interesting."
"I've selected a few individuals. Now, Gazef, tell me, do you want to participate in this game? The choice is yours. If you agree, I can help you become stronger, so you can make the game more interesting by challenging him."
"Of course, you can refuse. If you do, I won't do anything to you. I'll simply find someone else, and you will lose this opportunity. Now, give me your answer. I don't like waiting, so you don't have much time!"
Asahi smiled as if none of this mattered, as if it was just a game. In truth, it really was.
Hearing this, Gazef fell into deep thought. He knew that he didn't have much time and needed to make a quick decision.
