3 Chapter 2
"WOULD YOU JUST SHUT UP!" she roared in the night, seemingly screaming with the air.

Flashback end:
'To think, about around two months ago, I didn't have to worry about such things…' the figure behind the bar sighed tired, leisurely cleaning a coffee cup.
'But I wanted a familiar environment, I wanted to relax, and care about nothing, start a new life, so I decided to return to Japan. Start everything, anew! In an environment, I am at least somewhat familiar with. Why I even accepted the offer of that old man? I just started to settle down here…' just remembering the whole thing, still wondering how that old man found her, she shuddered.
'Damn old man! I was careless letting those 'chickens' go in the beginning…'
Honestly, who thought it would come to this? After all, around a month or two ago, it was just a game called YGGDRASIL she enjoyed so much.
Running more than 12 years, on the last day before the shutdown, sitting over the carcass of a boss and several players she managed to defeat in the last minutes… Who thought remaining logged on until the end bring such a result?
'I just wanted to enjoy the firework one last time. It is that a big request? This is so bothersome! Why me?'
Indeed, after 12 years of service — spanning from the year of 2126 to 2138 — the famous DMMO-RPG closed its gates, forever, taking its goodbye from its players.
On the last night of the game, after the countdown reached zero, and the system supposed to force the players to log out, one might expect to find him/herself back in the real world, the nano interface disconnecting the person from the virtual environment, just as intended.
Yet, after opening 'her' eyes, she found herself in some old ruin... if it was not bad enough, in the middle of the jungle near some ancient pyramid!
It was more bothersome it was some kind of ritual site she woke up, filled with a bunch of priests, robed, magician looking people and dark-winged assholes who wanted to use some sort of 'enslave' ritual on her right after she started to regain her consciousness.
'Those assholes! First I thought they are some girl club, or some weird sect, doing their freaky occult, fetish stuff…'
This exact person in the screen had her own weird habits — and fetishes — of course, like every healthy person, but it was too much even for her!
'But to bind me? That's too much, even for me! If I do the binding game, I want to be on the top!'
Fortunately, using such weak mind control techniques on her was kinda useless, her racial mental resistances and items made it impossible to use something like that on her — at least, not on that level, the group of weirdos tried to do so.
In some way — even with the game interface missing — she right away knew what they tried to do with her — like strange precognition, or sixth sense, an impulse in her spine, or whatever telling her instinctively what is happening. And look at that! At the moment their binding failed, they attacked her!
'Admittedly, I tore those golden chains down they summoned to restrain me. Maybe that was the thing that triggered them. And of course. Saying: fuck off, to the dark-winged man who demanded to obey them – and looked like their leader. Yeah, I am kind impulsive, I can't help it…' she smiled sourly in herself, remembering her arrival.
And the fact, if she would act a little bit more cool-headed back then, it would all went better.
But it was too late for that... Back then, 'she' was still confused, she thought it was some kind of weird 'after the game' event she dropped into.
Or even the start of the beta of a new game — where she admittedly never signed up.
Thus, just as intended, answering the assault with assault, with a few exceptions, she killed almost everyone in the site, a few fleeing, a few were too injured to do so.
Just now, as she remembers it, it cannot be really called a fight. 'It was more like a bully beating up the weak, so disappointing…' Yes, it was a disappointing beat up, almost like a high-level player going back the starter zone in an MMO, just to bully newbies.
Basically, she doesn't even need to use weapons, or any of her powers, with only melee attacks and her high physical stats, she easily pulverized her opponents.
'Like a freaking Isekai novel, or anime… eh?'
Yes, she can only compare the situation to that. It was an absurd explanation, yet, she had no other idea what happened.
'Yeah, I read plenty of them… If not some kind of ROB — Random Omnipotent Being — dropping me here, or something similar happened. I had no idea what the heck is going on!'
Even after around two months in this world, the 'girl' was still flabbergasted and tried to figure out how such a thing can happen.
Still trying to find the place, she may fit in this new world. Her only luck was the fact, the planet was still Earth, true, in the 21st century… but still Earth!
True, in different of her own 'boring' world, this place supplemented with, what seemed to be different supernatural factions and beings — such as demons, fallen angels, angels, etc.… but aside from that, the whole planet, the towns, the sky, and everything else looked exactly like the early 21st century supposed to — according to the pictures and videos she watched previously.
'Hah... how bothersome!'
Since that fateful night, many things changed of course…
She possesses the body of 'her' game avatar, transforming 'him' into 'this' when the game finally ended, and the system forced her to log out…
It was definitely an awkward outcome; she still can't get used to! Even after around two months, it was awkward moving around like this.
'Who though playing a girl character in a DMMO-RPG bring such a result? If would I knew this, I would make a guy character!' she remembered those isekai novels 'she' read before. They were all nonsense if you asked any ordinary people, but for her, they were exciting ideas.
The thought someone from the real world is going into a fantasy inspired one! It was a genius idea! She loved such read! But being the one transported? Being turned into 'her' character from the game? She had no clue how to react to it.
Moreover, once again... being isekaied into 'her' character body!? IT WAS AWKWARD IN THE HIGHEST LEVEL!
At first, having no clue what to do, panicking, she decided to at least explore what this new body can do — doing a few experiments. 'Accidentally' making a few mountains disappear — when her hands 'slipped.' — was only a plus.
She still felt remorseful because of it.
'But what did I expected. Even that guy, Touch Me struggled to get a grasp on me…'
It was evident, the capabilities of this 'new' body of similar like back in the game.
Yet, more real! Still, under the two months, she couldn't test everything out freely — as it would surely reveal her presence if she goes around and destroys whole islands with her experiments.
The thing she wanted to avoid if she wished to a leisure life, filled with relaxation and calm.
'Yeah… that won't be good. One person already knows I am here. Though, I wonder if others also transported too. Or I am alone? For example, Momonga-san, I wonder where he is…'
'She' smiled, remembering the few good friends she managed to collect since the start of the game.
In all honesty, she never joined any guild, only accepting assignments. But one group she often joined under their endeavor — called Ainz Ooal Gown — they even offered 'her' to join — of course, being like a stray cat, she always refused the chance.
'Eh, Touch Me-san, since you left, I still miss our weekly duels. Which one of us is stronger…? Still inconclusive. Poor Momonga-san though, he remained all alone in that tomb. I wonder how he managed in the last hours.'
Of course, strength was not everything, as the DMMO-RPG called YGGDRASIL was the game of possibilities.
Even a person with inferior stats and gear could defeat opponents of higher status and stats.
It all dependent on information, foreknowledge, and preparation — of course, items, high stats, and high-quality gear helped a lot — but often the one who collected information came up with better counter measurements and different plans who came up as victor!
Thinking of this, she wondered if she will find anything interesting in this world.
