…!
The Overlord's eyes flickered as dimly lit embers, slowly retaining a grasp for his surroundings. His senses had been diminished, but he could still partially pick up on the environment he was in.
'A status effect? No, wait, I remember now…'
Silken veils decorated the walls in a transparent covering, inviting the eyes of onlookers to the scattered pillows and the heart-shaped bed sitting at the center of the room. Speaking of…
"Ooawnnnn…"
Ainz's ears were filled with the moaning of a squeak mixed with a yawn. Drawing his attention, he turned below to the source of the whimpers, finding a True Vampire in the nude clutching to his similarly undressed skeleton self.
'...Umu.'
Inside Adipocere Chambers
Hours back.
"Well, Shalltear, aren't you going to take me to your room?"
Shalltear Bloodfallen squealed in surprise delight, this was really happening! She thought she must have surely gone too far with her surprise attack, but her Lord wants to take it even further!
"A-A-Ahhhh! Of course Ainz-Sama!"
'Sasuga Ainz-Sama, always one step ahead!' She eagerly thought, slowly hovering by the Overlord's side towards her most private chambers. Was this not going too far?!
Finally, they had been brought inside, the last of the Vampire Brides already done with their utmost cleaning. They crafted the perfect room for Shalltear to receive her Lord's earnest mercy.
The Inner Sanctum had been decorated to the uttermost absolute orders Shalltear granted them for receiving a Supreme Being. Reddish banners adorned with the crest of Ainz Ooal Gown decorated the back walls, looming above a heart-shaped bed with a silken duvet and various netherwoven pillows, all of enchanted materials.
By each side of the bed, granite statues sculpted in the image of vampire brides held chalices pouring down a never-ending stream of a crimson liquid. The chalice itself was a mid-tier magic item Peroroncino had stashed for vanity purposes.
Finally, besides the illumination gifted from shadow-flame chandeliers, various black florets had been ornamentally grown throughout the room. These pitch-black roses were between the flowers herbalists could pick up in YGGDRASIL for alchemy reagents, these specifically were bothersome to acquire for good-karma aligned races due to their natural spread of negative energy and growing in undead areas. What was once damage-over-time in the game turned out to be especially arousing for the undead in the New World.
'Okay, what the hell am I actually doing here?'
Suzuki Satoru was never known for his luck with women in his previous life. Frankly, Touch-Me was one of the few members of the guild who had the luck to spare to actually find a woman, while Momonga had his experiences align him to his much closer ally Peroroncino.
He would like to think he had a pretty good idea how sexual intercourse works on a technical level, but that was back when he had flesh.
'The decorations are pretty nice. When it comes to Shalltear, it's easy to forget she has an admittedly good taste for fashion and décor.'
Doing his best to maintain his regal mien, Ainz carried himself to the lovemaking bed, taking immediate notice of the comfort it provided. 'It's not the same as the royal bed, no perfume either, but it's much more akin to what I used to sleep in.'
Finally, he looked up to see Shalltear, the lustiest undead in the room. She slowly walked up to the bed, constantly looking straight at him with hungry crimson eyes. The way she carried herself, she slowly crawled up the mattress and next to the Overlord, licking her lips and getting her face inches away from his, hushing soft breaths down his neck, she was…
...Nervous?
The Overlord let a low hum of confusion escape him, to much of Shalltear's despair.
"Aah! I'm sorry Ainz-Sama! It's too much! Too fast too fast too fast too fast!"
The vampire suddenly scooted back, sitting down at the edge of the mattress while hyperventilating to herself in quick panting moans.
'Oh crap, did I freak her out? I've never been so straightforward with one of the Guardians before, it may have been too much even for Shalltear!'
The undead king quick hurriedly got up to comfort the shivering vampire, wrapping his arms around her.
"I-I'm sorry Shalltear, we can go at our pace, if you still want to…"
Shalltear felt a chill down to her very core feeling the touch of her lord, this was really happening, he really wants me! She ushered uncertain whimpers as a warmth could be felt slowly burning down below her navel.
"It's-It's okay (hic), Ainz-sama… (hic)"
Shalltear slowly lifted her head up to see her lord, her eyes glimmering with happy tears that slid to her fangs, covering her beautiful undead face.
'Umu. I feel bad for her, but she is pretty cute like this…'
"Here here, please don't cry, Shalltear." Ainz gently patted her face with a handkerchief, cleaning out the tears that dared stain it. She relished the moment of closeness with her lord, no, with her Ainz-Sama.
"C-Can we start again, lord Ainz?" She whimpered before finally speaking with certainty, her face regaining some of it's luster. Ainz's eyes shined brightly in response.
"Of course. We'll do this how you want to, Shalltear." He lifted his hand up to hers, giving her a firm grip of reassurance that everything will be alright. He realized how much this meant to the true vampire now. 'I better not screw this up, she'll never look at me the same way otherwise!'
Hyping herself up, Shalltear straightened her back out and cheerily proclaimed.
"Alright! We'll use this, then!" With an over-dramatic spin, she reached her inventory to pick a glossary Ainz was all familiar with.
"Encyclopedia by Peroroncino! This will have what we need!"
Ainz curiously hummed as he watched Shalltear set the book down besides them and started flipping the pages, naming the entries as they came along.
'I wonder what she's looking for, I didn't imagine I'd be spending time in bed with Shalltear reading a book, I do well enough of that on my own!'
"Let's see here, Heteromorphs, Undead, Elder Lich...There!" She excitedly pointed out to one of the entries. "Overlord!"
Embers burned brightly in Ainz's eyes. 'Overlords, huh. Players could write whatever they wanted inside the monster encyclopedias, I wonder if Peroroncino put anything useful-Eh?'
"T-That photo is…!"
Instead of the photo a usual monster entry would hold, the entry for this particular page was covered with a screenshot taken back in YGGDRASIL, one where Ainz had been wearing a silly vanity suit for some reason.
'I was never told about this! This was meant to be a silly one-time thing! Most people dressed monstrously for the Halloween costume contest, I was the only one who thought wearing a fancy suit like that would stand out more. I'm already a skeleton, damn it!'
Shalltear, on the other hand, couldn't help but gush about it.
"Ooh my, Ainz-Sama! You never put quite a costume around us, it looks so...♡"
"N-Never mind that, Shalltear. What were you looking for in this entry?" He was quick to put her out of that trance, not knowing if she was about to make fun of him or not.
"Ah! Of course, here is what my creator Peroroncino-Sama wrote out for me!"
She began reading the entry for the Overlord, letting Ainz more and more bewildered as it went on.
"Here we go. Overlord! The highest existence of all undead. Unaffected by disease, hunger or age, those who reach this level of undeath make the most formidable tacticians, generally seen commanding armies, stopping time itself or running the most formidable guilds out there. They also make for great, stylish comrades!"
'Huh, that's pretty endearing coming from Peroroncino, he never even showed me this…' Ainz felt fondness in his heart for his guild-mate once again. He had to steel his heart, so those memories of happiness would never go to waste.
Shalltear continued further down, reading the passages left by her late master with a cheery smile.
"Being devoid of any and all flesh, Overlords are devoid of the capability to experience any corporeal debuffs. This, however, does not inhibit them from interacting with other beings using their staple negative-energy. Differently from any other being, Undead notoriously feel the opposite effects from dead mana, healing and regenerating from it."
Shalltear had an almost puzzled look to her face as she continued reading, but something suddenly caught her attention and she beamed with a bright smile.
"Ah, here we go Ainz-sama! All the way down here!"
"Ero note – While common belief may hold that Undead are unable to feel pleasure or any corporeal stimuli, their absorbing of Negative-Energy may prove the contrary. This power in absurd, concentrated amounts may even be able to produce sexual stimuli similar to human touch, and Undead with the capabilities might even be able to mate with it."
Besides the scripture, Ainz swore he could even see poorly drawn scribbles of his avatar with Shalltear holding hands by the side.
'...Ehhh? Damn it Peroroncino, how far ahead were you looking into this?!'
The skittish vampire pulled him out of his thoughts, practically waving her arms around in excitement.
"There we go, Ainz-Sama! It's all according to my creator's words! The Supreme Beings really can think of everything!"
"Ahem. Umu. That's true, Shalltear. Well, if it would really work out like that, wouldn't you have felt it every time I used such a spell?"
"Well of course, Ainz-Sama!" Shalltear suddenly lowered herself, almost in embarrassment. "J-just like when you first presented yourself to us, you made us proclaim our allegiance with such an overwhelming aura, everyone else was pressured by it, but…"
The vampire's face suddenly went red, almost covering herself with her hands just trying to relive the memory alone.
"…I see."
Ainz Ooal Gown made his resolve. There are many things that make a ruler, determination to follow through with things was one, just like bedding a queen was another.
"Shalltear Bloodfallen! I will give you an experience you will hardly forget!"
"[Touch of Undeath]"
Shalltear widened her eyes, already feeling the massive spurt of focused, negative energy erupting from her lord's hands.
"A-Ainz-sama?"
"I will not hold back!"
The Overlord of Death reached his hand forward, sliding his bony fingers across Shalltear's chest before fully gripping behind her back, his thumb laying right on-top of…
"FWAAAAAAH!"
The effect was immediate. Shalltear raised her head up high, screaming in pleasure never felt before for the vampire. Tears of joy, hedonism and anxiety streamed off her face, along the burning sensation in her womb climaxing at once.
"A-Ah-Ah-Ahh" She couldn't even speak properly, just sobbing moans of delightment.
'If just that was enough to leave her like this, [Touch of Undeath] might have been overkill.'
"Shalltear, I hope I didn't start too rough, maybe I should-"
"Ne...Ne...[NEGATIVE IMPACT SHIELD]!"
Ainz was suddenly blown back by the massive blunt force of Shalltear's skill, hitting his body against the pillows on the back of the bed. Just as he looked up from the knockback he had taken, his eyes were blinded by a great light.
From within the brilliant radiance emerged a pale, shiny body. It was devoid of any armor of clothing that would cover it's pinkish features. Her hands covered in a crimson aura of draining spells, the true vampire proudly proclaimed her will.
"Ainz-Sama! This Shalltear Bloodfallen will not go down easy, prepare yourself!"
'Umu. This will take a while.'
'I don't think I ever passed out in this world like this, but seeing my mana reserves…'
'Yeah, three quarters gone. That must be it.'
The drained Overlord once again turned to his side to see Shalltear. He really did this.
'I can't help but feel a pang of shame to defile one of my friend's creation, but seeing how Peroroncino was, I think he wanted this all along.'
Ainz pushed such silly thoughts aside. He really was a true ruler now, just like Jircniv once tried offering women to him, or all the ladies Ainzach tried throwing his way when he was adventuring as Momon.
'Will the Guardians view me differently now? Shalltear surely will, but should the others know about it? It'll have to come out sometime, better say it sooner than later.'
Looking at the almost innocent looking body of Shalltear, he picked up a nearby duvet and covered her with it. He dallied for long enough, it's about time he gets back to his work.
'...I should probably rest a bit more though, at least until my mana is recovered.'
And so, hours passed. It was almost morning now, and the sleepy, drained Shalltear Bloodfallen tiredly opened her eyes.
The bony visage of her Ainz-Sama confirmed it, it really did happen, not a wonderful, majestic dream, this was her reality. A serene smile formed in her lips.
All the shame she went through, all the ridicule others thought of her for her folly, and this is where she was now.
All her shame didn't matter anymore, she had been forgiven, nay, better than that.
She had been fulfilled.
"Nyaaainz-sama…"
Ainz turned his face towards her, seeing the vampire slowly stretch her arms to reach for him.
"Umu. I'm glad you've awoken, Shalltear, but it looks like you need more rest."
'She has far less mana than me, I'm sure she's the one that needs it more.'
Shalltear looked like she wanted to protest, but she was just fine after Ainz started petting her head.
"You did very well, Shalltear. I'm very proud of you."
He was too much. She let her eyes close on their own, tightening her hold on her lover's arm.
Some time later, Ainz would hear a knock on the bedroom's door, indicating he probably spent enough time here. Quickly changing into his divine robes, he announced with a deep voice:
"You may enter."
It was one of the vampire brides from earlier, the one that seemed to occupy a head position here in Shalltear's chambers. Seeing the state of the room, her face was a mixture of happiness and nervousness for intruding.
"Overlord-sama, forgive me for intruding."
"It's fine. Is there anyone waiting for me outside?"
"It's just as you predicted, oh Supreme One. Lord Demiurge and one of the Homunculus Maids have requested to see you."
'Figures, I must have left her waiting on my door. Hopefully I didn't mess up my schedule too much…'
"As expected of them. Tell them I'll be meeting them shortly."
"As you wish, Supreme One."
Ainz tried to raise himself from the messy bed to get up, but someone was giving him trouble for it. Looking back, Shalltear was tugging at his robes, a full pout on her face.
After deliberating for a moment, the course of action chosen was clear.
The Overlord got closer to her and gave another bony kiss to her forehead.
"Don't worry. If I need to call the floor guardians for a meeting, I'll come pick you up myself."
