OVERLORD: The Second Supreme Being

On the peak of a snow-covered mountain, within a tall tower, a massive silver-white dragon lay dormant.

An elderly woman, robust and dressed in a robe, approached the dragon.

The dragon opened its eyes and looked at the visitor.

"Long time no see, Tsa. What's this? Have you forgotten how to greet an old friend?"

"Apologies, Rigrit. I was simply overwhelmed with joy upon seeing an old companion again."

"An old companion? My old friend was that empty suit of armor. Speaking of which, what happened to it?" Rigrit scanned the room, searching for the Dragon Armor.

"It was destroyed," the Platinum Dragon Lord said, his tone tinged with anger.

"What kind of foe could have defeated you?"

"Most likely players from Yggdrasil," the dragon replied.

"The tremors from a hundred years ago? Weren't they supposed to assist the world this time?"

"No, I believe their intentions are malevolent."

"I remember you mentioned being an adventurer. Are you still active in that role?"

"I've retired and handed over my tasks to Miss Inberun."

"That crybaby? She's been whining nonstop, complaining about how she'd make me follow her orders if she could defeat me. Of course, I thrashed her completely! Hahaha!"

"You're the only human capable of defeating her," the dragon commented.

"So, what's your plan to deal with those who destroyed your Dragon Armor?"

"In terms of pure strength, I may not be their match. Rigrit, although you've retired, could I trouble you with something?"

"What is it?"

"I need your help in searching for special items from Yggdrasil—artifacts that might rival guild weapons."

"I'll do my best."

"By the way, wasn't there someone from a hundred years ago who descended to assist the world?" Rigrit asked.

"Now that you mention it, I'd almost forgotten. She was a red slime..."

.....

A hundred years ago, near a remote village, the Platinum Dragon Lord detected a strange phenomenon and arrived at the site.

What he found was a red slime.

"A monster?"

"A monster? Are you talking about me?" the red slime responded, looking at the Platinum Dragon Lord.

"Is there any other monster here?" Without another word, the Platinum Dragon Lord aimed to eliminate the red slime.

He raised a hand skyward, summoning a massive sword that lunged at the slime under his control.

However, as soon as the sword struck the red slime, it was deflected.

"What's wrong with my body?" The red slime extended two gelatinous arms and examined them.

"What's going on? Didn't I log into the game one minute before the server shutdown? Where is this?"

As a veteran player of Yggdrasil, Bukubukuchagama had never encountered a situation like this. She was especially unsettled by the fact that she could no longer feel her legs.

"Uh, can we avoid fighting?" Bukubukuchagama asked the Platinum Dragon Lord.

But the dragon ignored her, repulsed by her appearance.

In the Platinum Dragon Lord's eyes, appearance reflects character. Ugly equals untrustworthy.

Eight weapons materialized around the dragon.

"Star Annihilation."

The weapons formed a circle, spinning rapidly to create a beam of light that descended upon Bukubukuchagama.

As the smoke cleared, Bukubukuchagama stood unharmed, looking at the dragon.

"I really mean no harm. I'd much prefer if we could talk."

Being in an unfamiliar world, Bukubukuchagama wanted to find someone to ask for directions. As a young woman, the situation filled her with unease.

The Platinum Dragon Lord paid her no heed.

"There's no way I'll lose to a slime," he growled.

"Eight Gates Ultimate Strike!"

Eight weapons spun rapidly and flew toward Bukubukuchagama.

A glow enveloped Bukubukuchagama's body.

The eight weapons struck her, creating a deafening explosion, but as the dust settled, she remained untouched.

A beam of light shot from Bukubukuchagama toward the dragon, traveling at immense speed.

The dragon saw a flash of light before briefly losing consciousness. When he regained his senses, he found himself on the ground.

The Platinum Dragon Lord suddenly felt a surge of anger. Why couldn't he defeat a mere slime?

Rushing forward, he attempted to strike her with his fists, only to feel as though he had punched a pillow. Worse still, a sharp pain radiated from his fist.

As a tank character in Yggdrasil, Bukubukuchagama's defense stats were maxed out. Her build also included abilities like Reflect Damage, a standard feature for heavily armored tanks.

The ground beneath the Platinum Dragon Lord's feet softened unexpectedly, and he soon found himself stuck.

"What is this? Why are my feet sinking into the earth? Did you do this?"

"Now can we talk properly?"

"Are you from Yggdrasil?"

"Yes, yes! How can I get back?"

"You can't go back. Every hundred years, Yggdrasil players cross into this world. As for why it happens, no one knows. But none of the players who crossed over ever wanted to return."

"You're the first to express a desire to go back."

Bukubukuchagama recalled being in her room, preparing to sleep. She had been restless, her mind occupied by Peroroncino's words:

"Yggdrasil is shutting down. I want to go and see Nazarick, the place we built together."

Lying on her bed, her mind replayed the happiest moments she had experienced in the game.

Eventually, Bukubukuchagama turned on her computer and launched the game. The time was already 11:58 PM.

A flash of light appeared before her eyes, and she found herself in this unfamiliar place.

When her memory faded, the Platinum Dragon Lord was now almost entirely buried, with only his head above ground. His pride would not allow him to beg for mercy, so he remained silent.

"Oh no, I forgot about you! Let me get you out right away," Bukubukuchagama said apologetically, noticing his predicament.

She waved her gelatinous hand, and the corrupted earth binding the Platinum Dragon Lord reverted to regular soil.

Freed at last, the Platinum Dragon Lord said nothing and simply flew off.

.....

"That slime might actually have the strength to deal with the Yggdrasil players who've arrived this time."

"But the problem is, where is she now? I'll set out tomorrow to find her. Rigrit, in the meantime, I'll need your help searching for Yggdrasil artifacts."

"I have a feeling the players this time might bring about the destruction of human civilization."

"If that's what you believe, I'll do my utmost to assist," Rigrit replied.
