Chapter 1: Other Wordly Experience

Akanime Katzuro was just one more of the fray... Another idiot who spent too much time focusing on video games and not in real life. Most people knew him as "Vargheist" a toxic player among his peers, but he was far more than that...

Actually, he was one of the top players among Yggdrasil. One of the very few to achieve the title of "Warlord". It was quite an impressive title, in fact, you could count the players with only one hand and still have some fingers left. Only granted to those who would reach the top of PvP. It was so rare, that it was called a "Legendary Feat" among the achievements.

His race? A seraphim; The highest form of angels. In fact, he was the only one known to unlock the Seraphim race. Which made him even more famous.

His class? A Paladin. One would think that a Paladin was a class for those who believed to be righteous and correct, that they would always be there for those who needed them and vanquish those who would do evil deeds, PLUS, he was an angel, meaning that he was inclined to do more good than bad, right?... Well, not this one. He was rolling a Pally only because they had one of the best Burst abilities in the game. An explosive damage plus the right combinations of raiding, PvP items and racials took him to the very top.

He wasn't in any guild at the moment, since he would jump from guild to guild, only to ninja loot from the raids and quit the moment he had what he desired. Then he would proceed to spam /dance and try out his new items. He was the scum of raiding, infamous among many guilds

Not only despised in the raiding world, but also in PvP. He would camp the shit outta newbies; equipped with a low-medium tier armor to quickly kill a few of them without any difficulty. Why didn't he use his best armor? Because he actually expected them to call some "high level" friends. And when they came before him, he would quickly switch his gear and clap the shit out of them.

This was his greatest pleasure ... Seeing them in high hopes, and then crushing them and T-bag their bodies. OH, THE JOY!

But this only worked for new players, since older ones would recognize his name and wouldn't even bother to play, they just logged off. He didn't even care about hiding his name anymore, knowing he had a "Bounty" on his head.(more like, whoever killed him and took a screenshot T-bagging his body, would get 100k gold from an Anti-Vargheist Group) He would only hide his stats. But that was the thing about it, the more against him, twice the fun...

He actually got banned for 72 hours because of his constant harassment.

And here he was ... Sitting at the top of a mountain, basking in the sun and reminiscing on the glory of ancient times... the game provided him with tons of fun and enjoyment for so long... Yet, it was coming to an end.

And now, after so many fun years, it was time to say goodbye

11:50:00

"Only 10 minutes before it shuts down..."

...

11:55:00

"I mean... Its weird to see how everything comes to an end after so much was done..." He spoke alone

...

11:59:00

"They always said that I would get what I deserved sooner or later... Funny how nothing serious happened, only that 3 day ban... That was pretty crap. But I guess I deserved it"

...

"HA!, as if... It's their fault for not getting gud..." A small chuckle escaped from his mouth

11:59:50

"Well, this is it..."

11:59:51

"Maybe I will finally be able to spend more time doing IRL stuff..."

11:59:55

...

"Maybe I just hoped for it to last a little bit longer" he said with a sad face

He closed his eyes and prepared himself

11:59:57

11:59:58

11:59:59

00:00:00

...

00:00:01

00:00:02

00:00:03

He opened his eyes and blinked

"Wtf? Did they mess up on the shut down? Psh... Wouldn't even surprise me if its the shitty devs..."

He looked around and closed his eyes once again, waiting for the shut down in his recliner. a big wooden chair with arm rests and also a little plank to rest his feet. An item he got after killing a rare mob in his adventures.

Yet the shut down never came... Instead, he started to feel a little annoyance on his face

"Stupid sun, it won't even let me rest my eyes..." he said, while getting more comfortable in his chair.

And that's when it dawned on him

He's feeling the sun? He got more comfortable after moving a bit? That's impossible... After all, the game didn't have this "feeling" mechanic on it..

He opened his eyes and looked around once more... He took a moment to realize that his hands were touching the cold armrest of the wooden recliner, and his face was getting warmer because of the sun...

He inhaled...

He could smell the clean air of the mountain, the sweet scent of the flowers around him, feeling the wind breeze on his skin... It was impossible

He quickly stood up and looked everywhere, very confused about the situation...

"Wtf is going on?! Like... How the... How is it... WHAT?! ..."

"Did they change the game or something? Instead of a shut down, it was another patch?... Gotta check this out on Reddot"

He raised his hand and tried to open the menu, but he couldn't; He was tapping the air.

"WTF? HELLO? WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS STUPID ASS GAME?!"

He tried to tap even faster and tried to manually shut down the game... But he couldn't... As if it never existed

"Fuck... What now?... How do I get out? Did I die and got somehow stuck in this stupid ass video game? ... That's fuckin retarded!..."

...

"Fuck..."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After a few more mental breakdowns and a lot of cursing, Katzuro accepted the situation and tried many spells... From his holy spells like [Holy Strike] and [greater healing], to his buffs. Everything seemed to work as intended...

Yet, He couldn't open his [book of knowledge] where every spell and ability was displayed. Instead, he was able to see all of them in his mind, like a memory. 'Kinda weird'. He tought...

"*Sigh* But then again, my offensive abilities can't tell me shit if I don't try them on someone... Maybe I should find a mob or something"

But before that, he decided to check on his items. He tried to figure out how the inventory worked, since he couldn't just open the window...

After some trial and error, he finally managed to open it. He only had to think about it and a list of items and their respective name would pop up in his head, then, he only had to "grab" the item, and it would pop up into his hand.

"Huh... That's convenient... But how do I re-equip my main gear if I have to do it in a sticky situation?..."

He tried to think about it, but it would take too much time trying to do it manually... Then, he remembered his quick action skills. They were used to create, control and macro-manage a bunch of commands without having to use them one by one. Would they work here?

He concentrated and thought of the QAS... What did he name it? Oh yeah [Equip Set: Ez Clap]

His saw his body shine for a second, and in the next one, he felt it slightly heavier. He had managed to equip his main battling set, composed of the best gear in the game... His armor was a full plate set, meaning the heaviest and most resilient one. But to him, it was like having a hoodie

It was a full golden set; red silky clothes with golden patterns were hanging around his chest and legs. A long stylish red cape was hanging from his back. The shoulders were 2 Golden lion heads, one for each side. His gauntlets made his fingers look like golden claws, and it's armor covered from his wrist to almost reaching the elbow, and another golden lion was engraved in the middle of his Belt.

He felt his armor and could feel the power within him, every part augmented his stats, even if he couldn't see it, he was pretty sure that they raised a shit-ton...

Now... Everything was cleared. The only remaining question was if he was still powerful, or this "new world" was about to shit on him.

But wait... Not everything was clear... How did he look like? Now that he tought about it, he didn't see his face since he got stuck...

He quickly withdrew a mirror from his inventory, took off the hood and looked at it...

An unknown yet familiar face stared back at him... This was not his face ... This was the face from his Avatar! A young face, around early twenties was displayed in the mirror. Eyes with a mix of golden and white slashes stared in surprise, while his slightly dark golden eyebrows arched... He took off his right gauntlet and touched his soft white tone skin, impressed by the smoothness of It. Then he touched his hair. It was a long silky hair that reached a little past his shoulders with a soft golden color

"Wow..."

Was all he could mutter. He had to admit, he was a fucking SNACC He would turn himself gay if there was a man like this in front of him...

"Hot damn! I'm fucking gorgeous! I knew I was hot back in my old body but this? Ooooh man, it's not gonna help my narcissism!"

He finished with a whistle and a wink on the mirror

He put on his helmet, which was only a red hood that covered half of his face, only showing the glowing golden eyes, and stored the mirror back in his inventory.

"Ooookay, time to find some mobs and test my strength!"

He proceeded to summon two pairs of big white feathered wings on his back of equal lenght and jumped to the sky, navigating and looking around the scenery, full of trees and mountains... He would probably spot an enemy sooner or later...

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

After soaring through the sky for 15 minutes, he found what he was looking for. A big ass red wyvern was flying to god-knows where. From the looks of it, it was an elder one

Vargheist (let's call him by his Avatar name) saw this as a great opportunity to see how powerful he was. Usually, young wyverns were about level 25 to 35, adult one were from 40 to 50 and elder ones were the strongest of the family, varying from 55 to 70. There were exceptions were an elder wyvern would evolve to a dragon. Ancient dragon to be more precise. But these stuff only happened very rarely

"Aight, let's see if this thing still works"

"[Greater Strength] [Blessing of Might] [Strength of the Divine] [Aura of the Crusader]" he quickly said while getting closer to his target

He extended his right hand, and in a quick flash, a two-handed blade materialized. It was a long and wide silver blade with golden engravings in it. Its lenght was almost half of his body size, meaning it was pretty fucking big considering his height was 2 meters. It had a guard made of gold, and at the end of the handle, it had a small head of an ancient Gryphon made of Gold. The Legendary sword known as "Val'Anyr, The Wrath of the Light" almost considered another world item because of how broken it was.

[Holy Empower] he muttered, and the sword was engulfed in a white colored fire

At this moment, he was above the unsuspecting Wyvern.

He grabbed the sword with both of his hand and charged against his Prey

[Unrelenting Chase] he cried out. This ability allowed the user to quickly rush towards the target, almost to the point of colliding. It was a gap closer with a low CD, great for closing distances and chasing

But this time, Vargheist was in the air, so there was no way of stoping the collition. Before he crashed against the Wyvern that was turning its head towards the source of the sound he heard, he used his next attack

"[Wrathful Strike]!"

The Seraphim thrusted his blade in the back of the flying lizard and both of them were sent to the ground by the force of the dive.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Looking it from afar, it was like a small glowing meteorite was falling from the sky. But when it touched the ground, a big flash and a dome of whitish fire took their place followed by a big BOOM and a small shockwave that disturbed the peace of the forest

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000/0000000000

Vargheist was kneeling with both hands on his sword that had a third of its blade buried on the ground; the body of his Prey nowhere to be seen. When he stood up, he realized he was in the middle of a small crater about 5 meters. He looked around and the trees surrounding him were charcoaled from the impact.

"Holy shit... Wait, where is the wyvern? Did he escape?" He anxiously asked.

But then, about 3 meters from where he was, he saw the severed head of his target, it was completely roasted and smelled of burnt flesh

"Damn... Did I just evaporate it's body from the attack?" He looked at his flaming sword and took another glance at the charcoaled trees

"Maaaaaayyybe I overdid it a little ..." he said, thinking about the outcome of his 4th tier ability [Wrathful Strike]

00000000000000000000000000000000/00000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Aaand that's about it! Before I say anything else, I want to apologise if there were grammar errors, English is my second language.

Yo! Thanks for joining! This is gonna be my first fic. Honestly, I wanted to write this for a long time, but I didn't know if I should do it or not... Imma give a quick heads up, this is gonna be an OC centered fic for the majority of it... Or maybe not, who knows where this is gonna lead haha. My idea for this was a "what if there was another player, but he was not an ally of Momonga?"

To make it more interesting, he is a paladin. Something that a certain supreme being of Nazarick had in common. *Wink*

How will this turn out? I don't know... But that makes it even more fun. Imagine the possibilities haha.

So... Did you guys like it? What are your opinions/thoughts?

I dont really have a schedule for updates, I do this mostly out of hobby, so... Can't promise anything :p

Anyways, have a great week!

I don't own overlord or any of its characters, only my OC's.
