Overlord - Glory in a new World

Who knew clearing rubble with your bare hands would be so cool? And Xavier wasn't even using his full strength! He could just imagine the punches! What can he destroy with his fists?! If he punches hard enough, can he send someone into orbit?! Would they even survive the force?! This isn't even considering the Right Arm! Xavier's thirst for punching something, anything, would not be sated. If only he had some hostile NPCs to punch...

Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.

With the coming of this sudden, undead mob of enemies, Xavier's luck was starting to scare him a little. Nonetheless, he rushed forward into battle, standing beside Alena and instinctively going into a martial arts stance. Tea was shouting something and got his attention.

"Alright musclebrain and fancy robe! Lena will provide support and defense! You guys just bash those things head in or something!"

And Xavier took exception to that.

"Hey, who are you calling musclebrain, short stuff?!"

But now wasn't the time to argue. As soon as they got close enough, Xavier would rush into the fray, punching, throwing, maybe even kicking a few people if the need came. Xavier is pretty good at not getting hit by stuff, so he trusted his reflexes to watch his back.

... Muscle Fetishist, the nerve of some people...

As Xavier approached the room, he notices Archene, Lady Tea, and her indentured servant Alena exiting the hall. So there are others here! It seems that they were headed in the direction of the servant's quarters, if his memory served him correctly. Like the servants.

"Hey! Hey guys! Wait up!"

Xavier grabbed his hands together and gave a quick, powerful flex, causing the rest of the snow clinging to his upper body to be pushed off. After brushing himself off for another moment, he performed a light jog to the group as they walked, catching up in a few seconds.

"Oh, man, it's so nice to see you guys! Glad I'm not the only player here! But I gotta ask, is this cool or what?! Arch, with those fly robes, Tea, all fun-sized, and me, even better-looking than I normally am! And that's saying a lot!"

Xavier goes on for a bit about how amazing this whole situation is, before finally realizing he's being a bit talkative, and taking a deep breath to calm himself.

"So, what are you guys up to? Out for a stroll, maybe taking in all the scenery..." That's when they arrive at the servant's quarters, where everything is kind of in ruins. "... Oh... Well, I don't got anything better to do so maybe I can lend you a hand with this."

Xavier starts on his task of moving rubble and boulders to free the possibly trapped servants... But, to be honest, it's more of a test of Mark's newfound strength.

The doors to the Guildhome opened, followed by a chilling gust of wind. Xavier entered the building, folding his arms as he shivered. Usually, the button would've teleported him onto guild land. For whatever reason, he was just dropped about a hundred meters away from the home, and trek through the snow all the way there. By the time he'd arrived, he was covered in snowflakes

"S-So... C-C-Cold... Wasn't the g-guildhouse in a forest...?"

Xavier closed the door with a slam, and rested against it, embracing the slightly-warmer air of the guildhome. Definitely a downside to this whole 'Feel everything' business. He pulled down his scarf and looked at his meager snow-covered attire.

"... I may not be suited for long walks through the snow... But at least I'm looking good while doing it."

Xavier slides down the door into a seated position, warming himself up and taking a breather. This definitely isn't the world of YGGDRASIL, that's for sure. How'd the guildhouse get here, though? But more importantly, why can he feel everything in the world around him? As he thinks on this, he can hear faint voices from somewhere in the guild; probably the main hall judging on the direction.

"... Oh, cool, there's other people here... Glad I'm not the only one around..."

Xavier gets up and starts walking towards the hall, at a more relaxed pace, his footsteps echoing slightly in the almost-quiet guildhome as he takes each step.

(@Zelosse and maybe the others in the great hall too, if they felt the gust of wind or heard the door slamming or something)

Overlord - Glory in a new World

Sounds like a plan!

You can never have too much flexing.

@Zelosse

OH NO

UH

I'll just... Change the last action to Xavier going back to the guild immediately using a teleport item because the new world is scaaaaary.

Overlord - Glory in a new World

Xavier stared at the starry skybox above him as he lied in the field. Countless stars glistened across it, and Xavier knew that someone had to work hard to create this one thing most people don't even pay any mind to. He gave a small mental "thanks" to whomever was in charge of creating the skies of this MMO, and the clock counted down.

10...

"Well, it was nice playing you, YGGDRASIL." Xavier said, his tone slightly less energetic than usual.

7... 6...

"I'll definitely play a sequel if it comes out... But..." Xavier started, closing his eyes as the servers counted down to their end.

4... 3...

"... I wish I could just play for a while longer..."

Xavier felt the temperature increase slightly. As he opened his eyes, the sky above him was blue and spotted with clouds. It was day. Xavier sat straight up, looking around at the grassy plains he was in. No, the different grassy plains. He was surrounded by a forest before, but there wasn't a tree in sight now. Just acres of grassy field, with the occasional hill.

Speaking of grass, Xavier looked down at his hand as it brushed across the ground. He could feel each strand. Soon enough, Xavier was touching all over his body, patting his face, knocking on the metal of his armor. He quickly reached into his inventory and pulled out a small cube (somehow without the use of the HUD, which had disappeared), throwing it on the ground in front of him. It floated into the air and unfolded countless times to form a body mirror.

Xavier stood to attention and inspected himself in awe. He felt all over himself again, and made silly faces in the mirror. No doubt about it: he was Xavier Falcon, unarmed master. Such level of detail wasn't possible in the original game. He flexed his muscles, admiring himself in the mirror.

"... Oh my god... I'm HOT!"

He lifted his shirt and felt his now extremely toned abs.

"And I'm RIPPED!"

He fixed himself and stood in the mirror, giving himself a smug grin.

"... Well, I was always hot and ripped... Now just more than usual."

He closed the mirror with a touch and put the re-folded cube back into his inventory. Thinking about his current situation for a while longer, Xavier decided to try and teleport back to the guild. Maybe the guild and it's members are here too? If that's the case, on the slight chance that this is a "you die in the game, you die for real" type of dealio, there's safety in numbers.

But once he does figure this out, though, you can bet he's going to try and explore every inch of this new land.

Xavier quickly pulls a box with a big red button on the top of it out of his inventory. It's labeled "Emergency Return-To-Guildhouse button".

"Look out, world! Xavier Falcon, Unarmed Extraordinaire, coming through!"

As Xavier presses the button, he vanishes in a beam of light.

Overlord - Glory in a new World

Xavier Falcon, Unarmed Extraordinare

Name: Mark Gestalt
Character name: Xavier Falcon
Age: 23
Gender: Male
Level: 95
Race: Human
Class: Martial Lord (10)
Monk (10)
Striker (5)
Mercenary (15)
Other (55)

Personality:
To describe Mark in one word, he'd be... Arrogant. He's incredibly sure of himself and his own abilities. He doesn't take orders well from anyone he doesn't believe to be a good leader. This isn't to say he's a "bad" guy, though. He's pretty charismatic, and kind of a funny guy. If he's assigned to a job, he'll do everything he can to get it done. If he's on a team, he'll try his best to work in cohesion.

Background:
Mark Gestalt is an up-and-coming stock-broker working in New York City. He came from a very wealthy family, and received the best education money could buy, earning himself a position at a very successful company. He lives in a high-end apartment, and generally lives the good life, playing video games and boxing in his free time.

Then, one day, he'd heard of a new game: YGGDRASIL. Everyone was talking about how great it was, so Mark knew he had to play it and see for himself. After playing for a while, he was sold, and played the game extensively when he wasn't working or exercising.

Mark used his large income to his advantage in-game, buying various Cash Items. Despite the fact that most of the time he purchased vanity and low-level items as to not spoil the fun of actually playing the game, occasionally he couldn't resist buying high-level gear, monsters, and other pay-to-win items.

He'd joined the Ardent Heralds when he was just a beginner. Now that he's a more experienced player, he doesn't really hang around the guildhouse all that much, tending to explore the land. Their kindness may have rubbed off on him, though, seen when he buys an item for a player in need or helps lower-level players on quests.

When the servers shut down, he was laying in a grassy field far from the guild, admiring the skybox. He closed his eyes for a moment as the servers went offline, but when he opened them again, he was in a different grassy field staring at a different sky.

Items

The Right Arm of Power (Divine): An armor piece taking up Xavier's right arm. It empowers the user's normal arm strength, allowing one to do feats such as lifting boulders, swinging greatswords with ease, or in Xavier's case, punching really hard. When activated, the armor appears to make his arm glow a light gold. In terms of battle, the arm increases damage by 2/3 of the user's base damage. It lasts for 3 minutes and has a 1 minute cooldown.
Mark bought the arm in an auction, hoping to find the other 5 pieces and complete the entire set.

Devilish Charm (High-Tier): Xavier's current clothing. Though just appearing to be an ordinary vanity item, the clothes itself have a small amount of armor, the effect of halving all damage received from Damage Over Time, and the side effect of making him look so damn good.

Abilities/Skills

Heightend Reflexes (Passive): Xavier has a better chance to dodge melee attacks.

Hardened Skin (Passive): Xavier takes less damage from non-magic attacks and fire.

Fired up! (Delayed Buff): When Xavier falls below 50% health, his damage and speed are doubled. A visual effect of this is the appearance of steam coming from his body.

If healed above 50% health, the ability is on cooldown for 3 minutes.

Light Dash (Active): Xavier can move from one point to another in the blink of an eye. Can be used in quick succession.

Consecutive Hits (Active): Xavier releases a flurry of punches to any enemies in a cone directly in front of him. Does minor damage over time.

Rockabye (Active): Xavier delivers a well-aimed punch at an opponent that has a 50/50 chance of knocking them out. Can't be done to the same opponent more than once.

Megaton Punch (Active): Xavier's "Ultimate" move. Takes half a minute to charge. Xavier can charge one target and throw a punch with a megaton of force behind it. If he were to whiff the hit, the punch will still displace the air it's aimed at with half the force.

When used in conjunction with the Right Arm, the results could be devastating.

Please, tell me if anything needs to be changed or explained or whatever. I'm still sorta new to this, so sorry if he's a bit OP.

... Or not OP enough, considering his level and backstory... You know what I mean.
