11 CHAPTER 11

It's been 1-2 years since I came to the underworld. And by that time, most of the mission was already done. I had conquered all the realms of death except Valhalla. I destroyed every god who did not want to submit to me, and let the submissive live. I was looking for that place right now, as the location of Valhalla is known only to Odin and the Valkyries. I also encountered a man named Rizevim while conquering the realms of death, but the man is really adept at escaping. My Rizevi, when he escaped, I found that he had a laboratory, there were many subjects inside, but one of them impressed me the most, and I created a new race using my skills on death. And the queen of this race is currently my assistant and her name is Lilith.

I learned a lot from talking to Lilith. She used to be the demon queen and the real Lucifer's wife. But after the great war, it was captured by Hades and Rizevim and used to breed new demons. Also, her body was on the verge of collapse, as her ex-husband Lucifer was constantly making Lilith suffocate. Using a few hundred souls from hell, I healed Lilith's soul first and then restored her body with the power of death.

Therefore, at this time, Lilith, who was formerly of the [Devil] race, had now turned into the [Undead Devil Queen] race.

Lilith's formerly black hair was now white, her skin even paler, and she has red eyes.

Lilith is not like my other shadow soldiers, but she has many features such as making plans, and she is not high in combat power, but rather higher in intelligence. She's been working as my assistant since the day I rescued her. She also prefers to stand outside instead of standing in my shadow like other shadow soldiers.

Also, today was a special day. Today I had a meeting with the four great Maou, Michael, Gabriel and Azazel. More precisely, Sirzechs Lucifer had arranged some kind of meeting and invited me to negotiate with three factions. Normally I wouldn't accept such things, but this time I thought it might be something interesting since all three factions will participate and I decided to join.

While fighting in the underworld, I constantly wandered and fought using the Shadow Monarch's [Spiritual Body Manifestation] skill. When I use the [Spiritual Body Manifestation], my appearance changes into a muscular shadow with flaming purple hair, shimmering purple eyes, two curved black horns, and sharp claws. I also wore pitch black armor and a long, smoky black cloak and wielded a pure black sword.

It was impossible for me to be recognized. I also had a skin that I used in more serious battles when I was going to fight, and I also had a [Greatest Part Of The Brilliant Light] transformation that looked like angels. There was only armor instead of a face.

I also learned that I have a fan club in the underground world. They call themselves Death Dealers or Shadow disciples. But they're not like a cult, more like a fan girl community.

At the moment, I was in the building where the meeting was held. And in front of me was a huge door. In an instant, dozens of my soldiers emerged from my shadow and stood in military formation on the flanks like a king's royal parade. Then one of them opened the door and we entered the huge ballroom. Igris, Bellion, Beru, and Lilith were right behind me. There were dozens of demons, angels, and fallen angels in the hall, but as soon as we entered, they all stopped talking and stared at us in amazement.

(Author's Note: Those who want to fully visualize it they can look at Overlord's Grand Arrival.)

Then I came to the front of the tower where the Faction leaders were standing on top, and in one moment I disappeared into the shadows and the next second I appeared on the top of the tower.

"Welcome Ashborn-dono." Sirzechs welcomed me.

And then we shook hands with everyone in turn, but I didn't say a word. Because when I use this skill, it is difficult to talk, so I use telepathy instead of talking. The Maou's, Michael and Gabriel were also a little annoyed that I hadn't spoken to Azazel when I met them, but they still remained respectful. That's why Lilith came with me right away.

"Oh Please don't think my lord is rude. My lord doesn't like to talk in his armor, so I will tell you his orders and what he has to say." Lilith explained the matter like a professional secretary. And others have shown understanding.

Then we took our seats and started the meeting.

"First of all, Ashborn-dono, can you explain your purpose for attacking the underworld?" Sirzechs asked.

"Yes, I'm actually wondering that too." Azazel said.

*Nod

Michael nodded his head in agreement.

"Ahem! First of all, I would like to state that my lord's purpose will not harm you. My lord is a death god and his purpose is to conquer the realms of death. Even if these realms are conquered, neither demons, fallen angels, nor angels will suffer from this situation. Unless, of course, you stand in our Lord's way." Lilith said.

"So, since he's a god of death, do you count among the evil gods?" Michael asked.

"You should not use such a vulgar term. My lord is neither bad nor good. My lord is on the side of death. You cannot say death is good or bad. Because death is eternal rest, and also terror."

The people at the table looked like they didn't understand.

"Death is both something that everyone fears and a place where you find peace." Lilith said.

And the meeting went on like this. We talked about many topics and they finally understood that I was not harming the underworld. But there were Serafall, Grayfia, and Gabriel who were acting strangely the entire meeting.

But suddenly two girls were running up the stairs. And of course, the place they went to was the meeting place I was in. Although the devil guards tried to stop the girls, in vain the girls survived them all and went up to the tower where the meeting was.

I recognized one of the girls immediately, it was Rias Gremory. But I didn't know the girl next to him, and then I realized that she looked like Serafall, except for her choice of clothes and hairstyle.

"Rias!"

"So-tan!"

'So-tan?' I thought.

The two girls were looking at me like fangirls right next to where I was sitting. And I could see her cheeks turning red.

"M-My name is R-Rias G-Gremory."

"M-My name is S-Sona Sitri."

Then they both took out something like a notebook and when they opened it, it was filled with my pictures, that is, with my drawings in this form.

'Whoever drew it was really talented.' I thought.

"A-Actually, w-we are members of your f-fan club and we were w-wondering if we c-could get your s-signature?" Rias stammered.

'[Ruler's Authority].'

All of a sudden, the notebooks and pen in their hands began to hover in the air. Then the pen started to move and wrote a few things in the notebook, then the notebook and pen landed in Sona and Rias' hands again.

Both of them opened the notebook and began to read what was written inside.

(To my beloved Shadow disciple Rias Gremory ~From Ashborn)

(To my beloved Shadow disciple Sona Sitri ~From Ashborn)

Both of their faces turned red as they read it. After all, the Shadow Disciple was a nickname they gave themselves, but when Ashborn wrote that, it meant they were officially endorsed by Ashborn.

Afterwards, several guards took Rias and Sona away.

"Ashborn-dono, we're sorry for our sisters' rudeness." Sirzechs and Serafall said while bowing a little.

"Raise your head please. My lord doesn't care about such things, even my lord thinks your sisters are both cute and funny. My lord is someone who values ​​this kind of sibling relationship." Lilith said.

Everyone in the room actually saw that this cold and creepy looking man was actually not that cold.

And thus the meeting concluded. All three factions were convinced that I was not the enemy.

So I went back to my castle. Yes, by the order of Beru, I have a giant castle in both the human world and the underworld. But suddenly a shadow soldier sent me a signal that they had found something. I got there right away.

It was a secret chamber and was located relatively close to the devil compound.

When I entered the room, there was only 1 bed and there was a girl lying on the bed.

'She is really beautiful.' I thought.

She had purple hair and was wearing a white nightgown.

'I'm definitely sure that this girl is a devil, but another aura is emanating from her body, I had encountered this type of aura before, it was the aura of sacred gear.'

"Lilith do you know her?"

Lilith stared at the girl intently, then remembered as if a light bulb had gone off in her head.

"I don't know the exact name, my lord, but I can say that this girl is from the Leviathan clan. Also, as far as I can tell from her appearance and aura, this girl has a sleep disease so I can't say exactly how long she's been here, but I have an estimate of around 100 years."

"I see. Okay lets wake her up." I took [Holy Water of Life] from the Inventory.

Then I went to the girl and slowly drank the whole bottle. After she drank it, the girl's aura began to fluctuate and I guess the magic power in the potion was absorbed by her sacred gear. The girl's complexion began to lighten, which was a good sign, indicating that she was close to waking up. I created an armchair with my shadow energy and began to wait for the girl to wake up.

"Ultimate class huh. At least I expected maybe a Satan class though." Once her aura and magic power stabilized, I noticed her class.

"My lord, please don't joke, it's not easy to come across people of the Satan class. In other words, it is probably equal to finding 1 Nayuta cash while walking on the street."

(Author's Note: In Japanese, Nayuta is a number formed by 1 followed by 60 zeros.)

"I know but sigh... whatever."

And so I waited for several hours for the girl to wake up. A few hours later, the girl woke up.

"Wh-Where am I? Hiiiieeee!" As soon as the girl saw me, she got scared and hid under the covers.

"My lord, this girl doesn't know who you are, and when she woke up she saw this image you use in wars, I think you can show this girl your true appearance." Lilith suggested.

I also canceled my [Spiritual Body Manifestation] skill and returned to my normal appearance. Of course I had destroyed all the magic sensor's in the room and made sure no one was watching.

"Don't worry, you can look."

Then the girl slowly pulled her head out of the duvet and looked at me with her orange eyes.

"Wh-Where am I?"

"Underworld. I think you have sleep disease so I found you and cured you."

"Who are you?"

"My name is Ash, yours?"

"My name is Ingvild. Ingvild Leviathan."

"So you're that half-devil. One of the members of the old Leviathan clan had been with a human and they had decided to raise their children in the human world." Lilith explained.

"O-Old? Do you know where my family is? Also, how long have I been sleeping?" Ingvild asked curiously.

"The Leviathan clan was destroyed. As far as I know, there is only one Leviathan clan member left except you. Katareae Leviathan. And I think you've been sleeping for about 100 years." I said directly.

"M-My parents- 100 years?"

Ingvild was shocked by the sudden information she received. She had been asleep for 100 years and her family was gone. She didn't know what to do in the world anymore.

Ingvild was staring at the ground.

I stood up and walked over to Ingvild and hugged her.

"If you want to cry, you can cry, no one will judge you."

Like a trigger, tears began to flow from Ingvild's eyes as soon as I finished my sentence, and she let go of all her emotions.

Ingvild cried for minutes. Tears were streaming down my clothes and I was stroking his head as Ingvild cried. Shortly after, Ingvild fell asleep from crying. So I lifted her and went to the realm I created with my [Death Realm] skill.

And I laid Ingvild on the green grass under the azure sky.

This is actually a place that can be called heaven.

I then lay down next to Ingvild and started stroking her head.

After a few hours, Ingvild slowly opened her eyes and her face turned red as soon as she saw me.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-Yes t-thank you. But where is this place."

"This is my realm."

"Your Realm? Are you perhaps a god?" Ingvild asked.

"You can say that. I'm God Of Death/Shadow Monarch, Ashborn."

"Woah! I would not have guessed that any god of death would have such a realm. O-Of course I'm not t-trying to insult you or anything."

"Pffff... Don't worry, I'm used to this reaction. Death is not just fear as everyone has mentioned, death is also an eternal rest and peace." I said.

"Then what's on the altar over there?"

Well, that really surprised me that no one I'd brought here before had paid attention to the altar where my mother's coffin was.

"Wanna see?"

"Yes please."

Then I took Ingvild towards the altar and she saw my mother in the glass coffin.

"She is beautiful. Who is she?"

"She is my mother. Shuri Himejima."

"What happened to her?"

"It's a bit of a sad story, are you sure you want to hear it?"

*Nod

And so I told Ingvild everything. Including my death, I also said my real name. Ingvild showed many emotions. I explained everything, including my purpose, except the system.

"Sorry for reminding you." Ingvild said at the end of the story.

"I never forget, so it doesn't matter. I'm sure I'll bring my mom back anyway, I'm sure if you meet her you'll love her too." I said with smile.

"Then Solas-san can I be with you from now on?" Ingvild blushed when she realized what she was saying.

"I-I mean n-not in th-that way-"

"Hahahahahaha... You are so cute Ingvild. Of course you can be with me."

And so Ingvild came to live with me.

Then we went to the human world to buy clothes for Ingvild. We bought clothes for Ingvild from Paris and France. We ate pancakes with Ingvild etc. I think it was called a Date. I guess this was the first day after that day where I just had fun without thinking about anything.

Ingvild is also a very fun and lively girl who likes to try new things and speaks fluent English.

So we went on dates like two teenagers and had fun all day long. Actually, this feeling was strange, but I loved it.

And that's how we fell in love with Ingvild. Ingvild always supported me in my cause and stood by me no matter what I did. So we liked each other. We went on dates once in a while, even when I was going to fight the gods again the next day, we went on dates to clear our minds. Also, we have already started night activities.

So months passed. Valhalla has also been captured by me and both missions have been completed. Then came the [Monarch of Destruction] final mission of my job and it was also about defeating the gods of destruction but in this I didn't have to kill or subdue them, I just had to defeat them so I fought all the gods of destruction including Shiva including Sirzechs Lucifer. Of course, what I did with Sirzechs was a serious life and death duel, so we didn't hold grudges against each other.

I was able to unlock other Jobs as well, but the other Jobs were not as level capped as [Shadow Monarch] or [Monarch Of Destruction]. Other works ranged from 50-150.

And I completed it all in just 1 year.

But when I completed all the Jobs a system message appeared.

[All Jobs Completed]

[All your stats have reached ∞]

[You have acquired a new Title]

[The creators of the system wants to meet with you.]

[Will you accept?]

[Yes] [No]
