The Dark Warrior

"... Don't you feel that food with so much preservatives that it has no expiry date is no different than poison? Compared to that, food past their expiry date is safer

right?"

"... Don't look down on food poisoning. Some bacteria are infectious."

"... More important will be what can be eaten huh? It might look like a full plate of food samples, but in actual fact... right?"

"...Food samples? I wil kil you okay."

"... Who is past expiry date? Hummm."

The two beauties bickered before Ainz with expressions that were hard to

describe. It's an expression that could chil even a love over a bil ion years old.

Suppressing the urge rushing to his head, Ainz said before the devastating fight

begun:

"Knock it off you two."

The two present their bril iant smile towards Ainz instantly.

Their complicated expression was gone; they changed back into two cute and

pure girls who are in love.

(Women are scary... No, these two must be special...)

After turning into an undead, any strong emotion Ainz feels wil be suppressed.

Even Ainz who was like this felt their face changes at an incredible pace.

They are so incompatible because they were love rivals.

Albedo and Shalltear fell for Ainz at the same time. Any man wil be happy to be

adored by 2 beautiful ladies.

But Ainz was unable to accept this wholeheartedly.

Because Shalltear who was into necrophilia whispered softly into Ainz's ear in a

sweet tone: “Such wonderful skeletal shape, a masterpiece by the creators."

This might be sweet murmurs of love for Shalltear -- or it could just be praising

the looks of Ainz.

But Ainz was shocked that the first time he was complimented for his looks, it

was for his bones. That was his memory from a few days ago.

Ainz purged this insignificant matter out of his mind and said:

"I will ask again. Shalltear, do have something for me?"

"Yes. By your command, I am planning to meet Cocytus later. I might not be able

to return to Nazarick for a period of time, so I came to bid you farewell."

Ainz remembers the instruction he gave Shalltear and nodded:

"I understand. Shalltear, be careful in your mission and return safely."

"Yes!"

Shalltear replied in a stern and solemn tone.

"You may leave Shalltear. When you leave, tell Narberal or Insect Queen to

summon Demiurge over. Tell him I want to discuss my next plan with him."

"Understood, Ainz-sama."

Chapter 1 – The Two Adventurers

Part 1

The Kingdom’s city of Re-Lantier was situated at the border between the

Baharuth Empire and the Silian Theocracy. Since it was protected by 3 layers of

city wal s, it was known as the Fortress City due to its appearance. The zones

between each layer had their own unique characteristics.

The outermost walls were used by the Kingdom's military and had al the

necessary military armaments.

The innermost wall housed the administrative zone. This zone has its own

warehouses for food, and was heavily protected by soldiers.

The zone in between these two areas was the residential area for civilians.

When you hear the word city, this was the zone that matched it.

Of the several plazas within this zone, the biggest one was called the central

plaza. Lots of people set up shop there, laying out all sorts of vegetables, spices

and other sorts of merchandise.

In the lively crowd, a shop owner shouted loudly in an attempt to attract

customers. Elderly housewives and merchants haggled over the price of fresh

ingredients, youths are being enticed by the fragrance of juicy, barbecued meat

kebabs.

This plaza was incredibly lively in the day, the noisy and crowded atmosphere

would carry on til sunset. But two figures leaving a five-story building put an end

to the rowdy atmosphere.

Every eye in the plaza was drawn to the duo as they stood motionlessly.

One of them was a female between fifteen and twenty years old. The corners of

her eyes were sharp and shone with the bril iance of obsidian. Her thick, shiny

black hair was tied up in a ponytail and her snow-white skin glittered in the sun

like pearls.

Her most prominent part was her elegant air and her exotic beauty that would

make anybody look twice. The brown cloak she wore was plain, but on her it

looked like a lavish gown.

Her partner was of an indeterminable gender, since there were simply no visible

signs to determine it.

Some people in the plaza mumbled: "Dark warrior."

That's right, that person was wearing an elegant full body armor decorated with

purple and golden markings. The face couldn’t be seen through the thin slit in

the helmet. Under the red cape on his back, two large swords could be seen,

complementing the style of dressing.

The two of them looked around and the armored figure took the first steps.

The crowd started to murmur as they watched the back of the two figures fade

into the distance. They were surprised by the rare sight they just saw and felt no

fear or wariness towards the armed duo.

The reason for that was that the duo exited from the building known as the

'Adventurer's Guild', an association for experts who hunted monsters. Other
