The Path Of The Great Sovereign - Chapter 155

If the team favorited to win the World Series, The Super Bowl, The Playoffs, etc, etc was to suddenly get disqualified at the start how would you feel as a fan? Shocked? Angry? Disbelieving? Well, that’s what many people watching the tournament felt at this moment as they looked at the World Champion class Touch Me on his back.

Silence permeated the arena like a plague as Tatsuo turned his head and body around looking at the players in the stands before locking eyes with the referee.

“So are you going to announce the winner or no?”

The referee gawked at Tatsuo then walked over and raised his hand signaling Tatsuo won the match. There was no cheering, no loud discussion just silence as Tatsuo walked off the field and sat down where the rest of the participants were located. He closed his eyes and folded his arms giving off an unapproachable aura, the flames in between his horns flickered and crackled as all eyes locked on to him.

“Instead of looking at me as if I am some exotic animal you should continue the tournament.”

Tatsuo’s words woke everyone out of their stupor as the tournament continued. From that point onward every time Tatsuo entered the ring his opponent was stun locked and defeated. He advanced to the finals and won without any hiccups.

[Title Acquired: World Champion of Helheim!

[Class Acquired: Defender of The Realm]

[World Item Acquired: Hel’s Blessing

Item Effects: As the defender of Helheim there is only one entity above you, and that is the Goddess of the Underworld: Hel. Both Pure Evil and Pure Kindness exist in this Blessing if your karma leans to heavily to either side you will be driven mad and lose control of your character becoming a minion of the Goddess. However, with this Blessing, you may draw upon the powers of Hel herself to drive away all who defile her rule.

+100 to all Stats]

As a Yin/Yang Archdevil of the Abyss just like Hel, Tatsuo was Half Pure Evil, Half Pure Kindness an enigma in the system as the World Champion was deemed to become nothing more than a sacrificial lamb of the system. Defeating invaders for a period then get deleted similar to what happened in the original as +200 to all stats plus the boost of HP and MP made the Player a walking Mob Boss that could not be stopped.

Fraudulent Character indeed.

After the Tournament Tatsuo received numerous friend requests and Guild invitations as a powerhouse like him would make an indispensable member of any party. Toying with Level 100 players the way he did would make all the Guild leaders fly into a massive frenzy trying to figure out where this person came from.

Scanning through all the spam he found what he was looking for, an Invitation to Ains Ool Gown by Momonga. Without thinking twice he accepted the invitation, following that he received a message from Momonga asking him to meet up at the Great Tomb of Nazarick which was currently under construction.

At this point in the game, Ains Ool Gown was nearing it’s peak as the name of their base and it’s location was know to all within Helheim. Arriving at the Base he saw the Avatar of Momoga standing at the entrance, the Sights and smells of Nazarick was a striking thing Tatsuo flashed back to his Highschool days before he was thrown into this chaos when the first season of Overlord premiered. Now he is standing before the Main Character as an imposing yet mysterious figure about to be asked questions deeming whether or not he can truly become a member of the Guild.

Walking through the swamps he arrived at the steps of Nazarick as Momonga stood towering above him.

“Welcome to Nazarick, I am the Guildmaster of Ains Ool Gown, Momonga. Would you please follow me to the conference room.”

Tatsuo nodded his head wordlessly as they made their descent into the Guildhall through a portal, when they arrived in the conference room all the 41 seats around the table with the exception of one for Momonga were filled with the members of the guild. Tatsuo looked around at the faces of the Avatars he only heard names of.

Momonga raised his hand and the maid NPCs on the sides placed a chair for the new addition, Tatsuo went towards the seat and sat down as Momonga went towards his. Just like that, they began something similar to a job interview where Tatsuo was asked a series of questions about his life yet not too invasive because, in the end, this was all in-game just a game.

Yet one big difference between this life and the anime version is that gold in-game had actual value. The conversion rate from Gold to Japanese yen was about 100 yen for 1 gold coin. Due to the realism of the game brought forth by the NSG2 companies began to invest and build in-game businesses that brought forth a whole new economy in-game. Yet gold was still scarce as it was harder to acquire gold in some situations than money IRL so the rule that you must be a functioning member of society stood strong.

After sitting through their questions, Tatsuo received his Guild ring making him an official member of Ains Ool Gown. He designed his Flag to be put up in the throne room and then got to work making the Guild a powerhouse Yggdrasil has never and will never see again. First, he made a massive deposit of gold into the guilds treasury greatly enhancing their financial state. With his position in the Party, he made impossible dungeons possible as he could play any role to perfection. Over the course of three years, he was made into an inner circle member of Ains Ool Gown he represented them in PVP events and sometimes he filled Momonga’s shoes as Guildmaster in meetings between guilds.

Under his influence, Nazarick received a facelift, Using Protocol Almighty Tatsuo and Siri rewrote the NPC Max Data Storage from 2750 levels at most to infinite. The 10-floor Dungeon was turned into a 50-Floor one making it the Largest and most deadly dungeon in the Game.

The Original Floor Guardians: Shalltear Bloodfallen, Gargantua, Cocytus, Aura Bella Fiora and Mare Bello Fiore, Demiurge, Victim, and Albedo were changed into Section Guardians stationed at 10-floor intervals with the exception of Demiurge and Albedo who oversaw them all and Vice-Leader and Leader respectively.

Therefore the NPC Hierarchy was completely redone with Section Guardians standing at the top followed by Floor Guardians, The Pleiades, and then all other NPCs. Besides them there was a group of NPCs designed to be the Guard of all members of Ains Ool Gown and that was called the simply the 42.

The 42 were all created by Tatsuo to have Loyalty to all members of Ains Ool Gown yet each of them was given a number corresponding to the member they were designated to protect. Each of these Guards was designed to cover the weaknesses of the Members of the Guild and each race while being Hetromorpic was unique and never seen before.

Not only that each member was given a floor to create and design below the first and above the last two.

From the moment Tatsuo joined Ains Ool Gown, the guild never saw a defeat.
