Overlord : Advent of the Gods

@Stern Algorithm

Do not worry, my fellow human friend, I even get it with my real name all the time (I thought I was safe here but meh). I just assumed that since Himitsu is a priestess, Lexus would regard December and Danielle with a higher status and won't even bother saying Himitsu's name right XD

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

@Stern Algorithm@BurningDaisies@IceHeart

There's a difference between being tired physically and being tired emotionally, and I think I'm feeling both.

Not that I'm complaining, but I would've arrived at Brightwing hours earlier before these snails. December can change into whatever freaking animal she wants, Lexus can fly and make Danielle (picking a nickname that's close to his true name isn't helping me forget he was a man before) fly as well, but no: they decided to take their leisure time in exploring by walking.

On the other hand, I don't blame them: the environment in this world feels more... full of life. Maybe it's because magic is rampant in this world or its residents all have green thumbs. The sky is magnificent, the rivers and lakes pristine, even the grass is greener here too. It's definitely cleaner that Earth, that's for sure.

Another thing I'm sure of is that I'm very homesick. I'm pretty certain we would arrive at Brightwing if we have a car, our phones have GPS so we can always know where to go, heck we can even make a drive-thru at Mcdonald's (oh that's right, I'm half-bird. Sorry cousins). My laptop, the love of my life, where art thou? I'm fairly certain I was just done with OHSHC. I'm also definitely missing the Internet right now. How I miss those days where I can just plug in my earphones and listen to Mrsuicidesheep so I can ignore people whenever I commute.

Alas, those days are gone and the only music I can hear now is the sound of Danielle complaining of wearing skimpy clothes. They say you can judge a person's personality based on the clothes he's wearing. Well, that's that.

You might be thinking, Gee, Himitsu, why are you so cold towards Danielle? Let me just say that I had an experience once when a guy dressed up as a girl to get into the ladies locker room after our Phys Ed class. Needless to say the event included two bloody noses, tons of flying underwear, and a spatula. Perhaps I'll tell you later.

I watch as December pat Danielle's back and say some reassuring things. While I do think the guy is still creepy for me, the situation we're in is drastically different and we can only survive this world if we stick together.

"Well, I'm pretty sure the money we always use in buying stuff here before it was just a game would still be applicable to this world's IRL economy, but that's just me though", I said. "To be really sure, we need to ask one of the store owners about it."

I turn to Danielle. Oh my god, when up close, her clothes are really, really sultry. These creepy guys who keep on looking at her like they're devouring her in their minds are so ew. I spread and put my wing across Danielle's back so I can at least cover her back. "Geez, Danielle, this is a lot of unwanted attention. At least I know what celebrities feel like when they go out in public."

Upon arriving in Brightwing, Lexus Dominiel turned to December and Danielle, "My Mistresses, if you have no immediate need of my servitude, it would be my desire to investigate the religion of these mortals to ascertain whether they follow the True Path or not. If they do not..." Lexus Dominiel clenched it's disguised, mail-gloved fists in righteous indignation, "...I will refrain from punishing them without your permission. I will leave them to their folly and hope they repent in due time. Mistress Himiko, as a priestess, I'm sure you, no doubt, would also like to know about the religion of the land."

@Stern Algorithm

How the heck do I answer that question? It didn't even say my name right.

"Dear Lexus, first of it's not Himiko, it's Himitsu. Second, while it is interesting to know their religion, I do believe there are much more important things that we have to discuss first, like a place we can sleep in and a place where we can eat 'cause I'm really, really hungry right now. If you really want to though, go ahead. Just please stay close to us so won't lose each other, yeah?", I say to Lexus.

God, I hope we won't go into trouble because of him.

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

@Stern Algorithm whoops, my bad.

It was when I was so late in participating in the story that I skimmed through the most parts made by everyone just so I can catch up. One of the things I remembered is that Lexus brought "apocalypse" to the guild and since its creator is December, I assumed that both of them were in that together. I saw the tentacle beast but I really thought it was one of the good guys who tried stop Lexus from destroying the guild; it wasn't until now that I realize that wasn't exactly the case.

Again, sorry :3

I bowed in return to December and nodded at Lexus' direction. Y'know, since I'm a well-mannered young harpy. "I believe all of us are already going in their separate ways. They seemed to be forming their own parties but there are also others who decided to venture out solo. As we speak, I think almost all of them are traveling to the nearest villages to get valuable information about this world." Gosh, I am living with this voice.

Ever since I've been talking to December, I've been getting this hostility vibe from the now normal-sized Lexus. I remember even though it refers to us as gods, it believed that its creator is the "one above all". That's probably the reason why it doesn't even speak to me, it just looks at me with its... I'm gonna assume they're its eyes, like its giving me a silent message: "Respect my mama if you don't want no drama" or something like that. Either way, this flying tin can sure has some balls to be like that to me. Not to boast, but I'm pretty sure I can handle fighting it even at its true form. It better be sure to be nice to me as soon as possible though, 'cause it'll see a storm of a lifetime.

As for December, I also think she's kind of giving me the cold shoulder, like one of those angsty, emo teenagers you meet at school that tells you to go away and doesn't need your presence in its life. Meh, I'm just going to give her the benefit of the doubt and really get to know her better. Since there are only three of us (Lexus included. No need for me to be mean to it if itsn't mean to me.) that has knowledge of our lives before the Shutdown, we have got to learn how to cooperate and be nice to each other (and also because no one wants to team up with us since Lexus just destroyed our guild and maybe blame December for it).

Speaking of past lives, I know it's pointless to feel this since all of us players are definitely powerful in our own way, but I'm actually kind of scared for us. Sure, we all know this game and its world because we spent countless days playing our hearts and souls with it, but that was when it was just a bunch of codes and programming so you always know what to do in every situation as well as how to defeat almost every monster in this world. This game of fiction has become a real-life game of survival and there seems to be no getting out of it. Since everyone and everything in this world has minds on their own, we never know what to expect anymore. Additionally, we are actually alive and actually living in our own avatars that a single mistake might be the end of our lives. Aside from the malevolent presence I've felt earlier, I'm certainly sure there are more nasty surprises this world has in store for us. I must admit, I was quite surprised that no one was crying hysterically or huddled in a corner rocking back and forth after the Shutdown happened so I guess all of us are heart-strong. Besides, this is the real world now and no amount of crying can ever take back our past lives.

Oh wow, talk about talking deep.

I decide to make small talk with December as an attempt to break the ice. "You know, your avatar and ability to change into all the animals in the world are really amazing. To top it all off, you got an ever-loyal mecha-guardian at your side!", I say as I point to Lexus. I'll never say it out loud, but I kind of envy December because she always has someone watching her back. We all need someone to rely on especially in difficult situations such as these. I knew I should've created a shrine guardian NPC that will treat me with respect and really up my ego.

I decide to test my charm as a harpy. "I've been thinking, since you can transform into every animal or beast you can think of, instead of December can I call you Queen B? Y'know, B for Beast? Get it?". I am now getting double of the hostility vibe from Lexus, which means my pun abilities are still functional in this world. Thank god.

As soon as I said that, I hear a voice from below.

"Greetings, my name is...HideYourMen...heavens I really need to think of a new name..." HideYourMen slapped her forehead in embarrassment at saying his username out loud. "Anyway that is now important, if we are going to make it in this, other dimension or whatever, we better come up with some plans."

@BurningDaisies@baraquiel

@IceHeart

I look down to see where the voice came from. I think it came from the Eqyptian snake lady. She also has an NPC following her, though regarding his actions and the way he looks at HideYourMen (ew), I assume it was designed to be crazy loyal to its creator. I also start to feel an aura coming from the snake lady. She is holy alright, but there's something weird about her that I can't put my finger on.

Wait: the way she moves, her clothes, her IGN, her holy but weird aura, and her very loyal male subject.

Oh. She (or him) is THAT kind of player.

"Hello to you as well, HideYourMen! Give us a sec to land so we can talk to each other in person!", I tell HideYourMen (ew).

I turn back at December and Lexus. "Well, it seems that somebody wants to join in the fun as well. Let's fly down now, shall we?"

Overlord : Advent of the Gods

@IceHeart Oh yeah, I didn't think of the environment where Himitsu is when it came to her Gale Surge's passive....
Hrmmmm.... hrmmmm....
Fine, I'll just edit it XD
