K, so's the other authors insisted that I watch Overlord, and Dayam. That $%#t is good! and so I shall present my take on another guild master being dragged into the alternate dimension/realworld/ video game world!

"The Tale Of Ignacio the First"

It is the final day of Yggdrasil, a virtual reality game the likes of which the world had not seen before, but now, the games popularity has waned, and solitary players all over the world stubbornly remain logged on so that they might enjoy a game that had touched millions at its peak until the last possible moment.

Players from all over the world and from all walks of life have remained logged in, great warriors, mages of incomprehensible skill. Others, leaders of guilds and party hundreds strong, or merely comprised of a dozen friends.

Our focus however, is upon a builder, a crafter, a smith of such renown he became head of one of the most influential and prestigious crafting guilds in all of Yggdrasil.

This is the story of the elemental golem, master smith, and head of crafting guild Temprence,

This is the Tale of Ignacio the First.

Chapter one

The all female, Adamantite ranked adventurer group Blue Rose stared at a shack in the middle of a forest clearing. After being dispatched to a remote section of the continent to inspect a shack, guarded by dozens of golems that had slain villagers and other lower ranked adventurers, they had arrived, and after a brutal fight against groups of golems they had arrived to find a simple wooden shack. Laykus, the leader of Blue Rose shook herself out of her shock.

"Dont let your guard down. Tia, Tina, scout the perimeter but do not approach the Shack, Evileye, try to scan the area for any magical based surveillance or traps."

Tia and Tina nodded before melting into the shadows. Tia and Tina were both short and blond twin ninjas, they had originally been trained for assassination and actually targeted Laykus, but through Laykus' charm and sheer aura of command, she had managed to sway the two skilled ninjas to her side.

Evileye who had started casting detection spells with slight waves of her hands, was a ancient vampire, who was stuck looking like a little girl, but was an accomplished 4th and 5th tier arcane spell caster who had joined Blue Rose because of a lost bet with a previous member, however any doubts Laykus might have had about a Vampire on the team were swiftly dashed after Evileye saved the rest of Blue Rose on multiple occasions. Evileye was also without a doubt the most powerful member of the team.

"So. Ill just sit here then?" Joked Gagaran, the fifth and final member of Blue Rose, Gagaran had been one first members of the group after she save Laykus when she had first became an adventurer. Gagaran was also the tallest and most muscled out of the group, she was the ideal female bodybuilder with muscles on her muscles. Laykus just smiled and patted Gagaran on the shoulder. Just then Tia and Tina arrived and reported the all clear which was swiftly echoed by Evileye who confirmed the lack of magical traps.

Cautiosly the group approached the shack, as they neared the door, Laykus motioned for Gargaran to 'knock' on the wooden door of the shack. The door blasted in with a single strike of her hammer. As the smoke and dust from the door being blown out revealing a trap door set into the floor of the shack.

Tia and Tina looked at each other as as Evileye idly mused.

"So, this doesn't scream trap at all."

Laykus nodded.

"But we're going in any way?"

Laykus nodded again.

"Great. Just great."

As Laykus opened the trapdoor Blue Rose saw a stone steps descending down into the darkness.

Deep within the bowls of the Shack

A woman with long red hair and and glowing yellow eyes walked briskly through the hallways of the workshop. She wore black jeans, a black t-shirt with a howling wolves head stitched in white, and a white lab coat. As she walked down hallway after hallway, she briefly glanced through open doorways to check the status of ongoing experiments.

Through one door, golems were hard at work creating new golems.

Through another door there was a bright glowing orb suspended in the middle of the room and yet more golems were bust taking reading and regulating the temperature of the orb.

A glimpse through another door revealed a vast store house of metal ingots of all different hues and materials.

As the woman arrived at a large wooden door, she paused briefly to listen to methodical hammer strikes emanating from behind the doors.

Taking a deep breath she opened the doors.

In front of her enshrouded in darkness and only lit by the glow of the forge, a massive figure hammered and shaped a sword in the heat of the forge.

The woman hesitantly spoke up.

"Uh… sir?"

A voice that sounded like wet gravel being ground and crushed sounded for from the dark.

"YES MARY? WHY ARE YOU DISTURBING ME DURING SMELTING?"

Mary swallowed. "We have intruders who penetrated past the perimeter defenses and are currently traversing the Tundra."

A crackling noise that sounded like grinding bone emanated from the figure.

Mary swallowed again. Her master was… Chuckling?

"IF THEY HAVE MANAGED TO MAKE IT PAST THE PERIMETER GOLEMS THEY MUST HAVE A MODICUM OF SKILL…. INSTRUCT ARCTURIA AND VLADAMIRE TO ENSURE OUR GUESTS MAKE TO THE RECEIVING ROOM."

Mary nodded quickly before making for the door, she was stopped before she could exit by

"ALSO INFORM THEM THAT THEY ARE TO ONLY INFORM THE… VISITORS… OF THE BARE MINIMUM OF INFORMATION AS TO MY IDENTITY."

Mary nodded hesitantly.

"Are you sure about this sir?"

A hammer strike blasted through a nearby anvil and the wet gravel voice came forth rougher and angrier then before.

"YES, MARY, I AM. WE NEED TO HAVE AS MUCH INFORMATION AS POSSIBLE. IF THAT MEANS PLAYING NICE WITH INTRUDERS AND INSECTS, WE DO SO, IS THAT UNDERSTOOD?"

Mary smiled as she understood her masters wisdom.

"Yes sir, I will tell Jeeves to inform Walachia and then I shall teleport to the Tundra cabin to inform Arcturia before returning to help welcome our… guests."

The figure hummed again as it turned back to its work.
