Overlord: Multiverse - Chapter 24: Yggdrasil XXII
It had been a few months since the meeting about the reconstruction of Nazarick took place. All the members have already started working on their chosen floors.
As for Momonga, he chose to work on the 11th and 8th Floors.
In the original series, the 8th Floor housed the most powerful NPCs of the guild. 8th-Floor Hierarchy was known as a group of powerful beings that resided on the 8th Floor.
No information was given about these monsters. But now, Momonga would be the one designing it. And he had many ideas about its design.
At this point, the first three floors have already been redesigned. And Peroroncino was working on his NPC, Shaltear Bloodfallen, the Floor Guardian of the first three floors.
Pero had put quite a lot of effort into making his ideal Lolita Floor Guardian.
These floors were redesigned into underground burial chambers where several dozen undead wander around in the darkness. They were divided into many areas like;
Black Capsule, where Kyouhukou resided.
Derelict Rope Bridge.
Grave Vault of Adipocere: Shalltear’s residence. Located on the 2nd Floor.
And many others.
~Momonga’s POV~
I was standing on the 2nd Floor, inside the Grave Vault. Peroroncino was working on the appearance of Shalltear. He asked for my help in designing her.
Pero: “What do you think? Isn’t she cute?”
Momonga: “She is certainly cute, but…”
I gazed at her flat chest.
Momonga: “I like girls with bigger chests.”
Pero: “Huh! You don’t know the charm of a flat-chested Lolita.”
We kept bickering about the topic while he finished designing Shalltear.
She had a short stature and looked like a buxom fourteen-year-old girl. She had pale shiny skin, seductive crimson-red eyes, charming facial features, and silver hair tied in a ponytail through a large ribbon on top. She was wearing a soft black evening dress with a big heavy skirt.
Pero: “What classes should I give her? Do you have any suggestions?”
Momonga: “Let’s see.”
Within the guild, Momonga was known as the man who knew the most about racial and job classes. Many members had already consulted him about their NPCs’ builds.
Many new members also asked him about their own character builds and how they can improve it.
Momonga: “What kind of build do you have in mind.”
Pero spoke after thinking for a while.
Pero: “I want her to be able to use magic. At the same time, I want her to be physically strong. She is our first line of defence, after all.”
Momonga: “So, you want a mixed build for her?”
Pero: “Yeah.”
Momonga: “Do you want her to be able to use Super Tier Magic?”
Typically, NPCs weren’t able to use Super Tier Magic. However, it was feasible to enable NPCs to access Super Tier Spells through some methods.
Pero: “Is it even possible?”
Pero looked toward me while sending a shocked face emoji. I sent a smirk emoji.
Momonga: “You are talking to the Job Guru. If you want her to use it, I can tell you some classes that will allow her to do so. But, you have to grind hard to get those classes.”
There were many ways to provide classes to NPCs. Ranging from buying class data from the cash shop, finding books containing class data, completing quests, etc.
Pero looked back at Shalltear.
Pero: “I don’t want her to use Super Tier Spells.”
Momonga: “Understandable.”
After thinking for a minute, I spoke.
Momonga: “I have a few sets of classes that will allow her to be adept at magic while at the same time being physically strong.”
Momonga: “With those classes, she might become one of the strongest Floor Guardians.”
Pero: “Tell me then.”
I raised a finger of my right hand and shook it.
Momonga: “Tch~Tch~Tch. I have a condition before that.”
Pero: “Which isss?”
I sent a smirking emoji. I was aware of Peroroncino’s perverted nature. I knew he wanted to add weird fetishes to her Flavoure Text. And I wanted to take full advantage of it.
Momonga: “I know what you’re going to put in her Flavoure Text.”
Pero: “And your point isss?”
Momonga: “I want to create her a sister. And I want you to add information about her sister.”
Pero: “That all?”
Momonga: “Yeah. Her sister will work alongside her. On the first three floors as her second in command. I also want you to add; Shalltear and her sister love Momonga very much.”
Pero: “Alright, I don’t mind.”
Momonga could have done it after Pero stopped playing. But why not do it now. Modifying the Flavor Texts for the various NPCs would be a cumbersome task.
So, Momonga wanted to avoid doing it.
Momonga: “Well, I suggest you focus on her racial classes. For your desired build, she needs 45 levels in racial and 55 levels in job classes.”
Pero: “Interesting.”
~Scene Change~
Pero and Momonga were standing in a massive open cave. Before them, the lifeless body of a creature lay on the ground. Pero moved toward it and stored it in his inventory; before moving deeper into the cave system.
They were currently clearing a level 90 dungeon to gather monster’s corpses. They needed them to class data for Shalltear classes.
Pero: “How many more do we need, man? I’m tired.”
Momonga: “Just a few more of the Vampiric Monsters’ corpses, then we are done.”
Pero: “~Sigh~ Let’s go.”
I nodded and started walking deeper into the cave system. Along the way, I also gathered the remains of creatures and various materials, all essential to get the class data for my NPC.
We kept clearing the caves for the next hour.
Momonga: “I think that should be enough.”
Pero: “Finally!”
We ventured back to the First Floor of the tomb of Nazarick. Once there, I instructed Pero to deposit the corpses around Shalltear.
Pero: “Now what?”
Pero asked after depositing the corpses.
Momonga: “Now we use this.”
I took out an item out of my inventory. It was a small vile with blood in it.
This item was known as the ‘Blood of the Olds.’ Through a ritual, this item was able to grant a hidden class.
The ritual needed corpses of vampiric monsters and data crystals.
Momonga and Pero had spent quite some time collecting the corpses, and now they were ready to perform the ritual on Shalltear. Momonga walked toward her, placed the vile on Shalltear’s hand, and activated the item.
[Do you want to use the ‘Blood of the Olds?’ [Y] or [N]]
I selected [Y] and returned back to Pero. As the item was activated, the corpses around Shalltear began to glow red before being lifted off the ground.
While still floating, they began to transform into a bloody mass. After a few seconds, the vile in Shalltear’s hand broke, and the blood started flowing toward the transforming corpses.
Pero: “This looks cool.”
The corpses continued to transform into a bloody mess. After a minute, a bloody blob was floating over Shalltear.
The blob moved toward her and started entering her body through her skin. The process continued for a minute.
Momonga: “Go and check her status.”
Pero nodded and went near her, and opened her status.
Pero: “NPC ”
Open Status.
…
~Status~
[Name: Shalltear Bloodfallen]
[Creator: Peroroncino and Momonga]
[Backstory: She is a petite vampire created by the Supreme Being Peroroncino and Momonga….]
[Floor: Floor Guardian of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd floor]
[Race: Undead]
[Racial Class(s): Vampire(10), True Vampire(10), Noble Vampire (10), Vampiric Mage(5), Vampiric Warrior(5), Noblesse(5)]
[Available Levels: 55]
[State Points: 0]
[Level: 45]
[Sense of Justice: -75(Neutral Evil)]
[HP: 45]
[MP: 45]
[Physical Attack: 35]
[Physical Defence: 41]
[Agility: 32]
[Magic Attack: 45]
[Magic Defence: 42]
[Resist: 32]
[Special: 50]
[Job Class(s): N/A]
[Flavor Text: Shalltear is a pervy vampire with a flat chest. She takes pleasure in every fetish, including…..]
…
Pero: “What does the “Noblesse” racial class do?”
Momonga: “It gives her powers related to blood, like; Blood Field, Blood Wings, and Blood Phoenix. It also enhances her Physical and Magic Attacks and Defences. It also allows her to manipulate blood, telekinesis, and mind reading.”
Pero sent a shocked face emoji.
Pero: “HOLLY HELL! That sounds awesome! Where the hell did you get that item from.”
Momonga: “From a quest.”
Momonga had used his own item to grant Shalltear the Noblesse racial class. In return, he asked Pero to add him as a creator of Shalltear.
Pero: “Riiiggght. Anyways, it’s time for the job classes.”
He closed her status and opened his console to use the class data; they had gathered before this point.
After using the creator tools and class data, Shalltear was finished. For the job classes she had;
Valkyrie(10), Greater Valkyrie(5), Cursed One(10), Cursed Caster(5), Cursed Knight(5), Cleric(10), War Cleric(5), and Blood Drinker(5).
The thing about making NPCs was; one could buy/use any class data, meaning one didn’t need the base class to get the high version.
One could grant the NPC the high version of the class directly.
In the end, Shalltear’s states were;
…
[HP: 92]
[MP: 93]
[Physical Attack: 90]
[Physical Defence: 94]
[Agility: 86]
[Magic Attack: 90]
[Magic Defence: 94]
[Resist: 89]
[Special: 90]
…
Pero: “Yup! Now she is ready to be the first line of defence.”
Pero excitedly said while sending an excited emoji.
~Scene Change~
Momonga was standing before a cute young girl. She had platinum blonde hair, a massive bust, red eyes, and wolf ears.
[Image Here]
Her name was Fenris Ulvsvik. One of Momonga’s NPCs. She would be the second in command and the sister of Shalltear. Momonga wanted her to be a level 100 NPC with great healing/supporting/attacking powers. Her job was to act as a support for Shalltear, buffing her with skills. And also preventing anyone from ascending higher if Shalltear is defeated.
Momonga: ‘She looks cute.’
I spoke while looking at her face and body.
Momonga: “Now, for her levels.”
Nazarick had 2,750 levels of Custom NPCs. But I bought an additional 2,000 from the Cash Shop for his NPCs.
I had some ideas for her racial and job classes. I aimed for her to possess the capacity to shift into a wolf shape. Additionally, I envisioned her having several alternate abilities.
Momonga: “Let’s start grinding.”
I opened her console and commanded her to follow me. Because she wasn’t bound to Nazarick, she could move beyond the tomb’s confines.
In Yggdrasil, it was possible to form a party with an NPC. However, due to NPCs being ineffective in dungeon raids, this feature was underutilized by players. But I had other plans.
Typically, you could buy EXP for NPCs. But I wanted to level her up manually. I had already equipped her with the ‘Advancement Amulet’ and the ‘Ring of Ascension.’
Momonga: “Let’s go, Fenris. I would teach you how to fight.”
Even though they weren’t alive right now. They would remember the conversation after being transported to the new world. So, Momonga wanted to create a good relationship with them.
While walking in the poisonous marshes of Helheim, I kept talking about random things with her.
Things like, what is outside the world, etc.
Momonga: “I know you can hear me but can’t answer. Don’t worry; these restrictions will be lifted in a few years. I will make sure of it.”
If I could pet her, I would. But the game’s rules prevented me from doing so. If other Players saw us right now, we would look very weird.
We were standing in the middle of a swamp, filled with loot dropped by the undead.
In the party’s settings, one could change the EXP distribution. I changed it so; 100% of EXP would go to her.
The reason; I wanted to manually level her up was because I wanted to deepen our bond.
Momonga: “Let’s collect the loot and go to the other locations. Follow!”
~Time Skip~
It took me a month to level up Fenris to 100. I didn’t have the required class data. So, I decided to give her classes later.
