A Game Of Two (Overlord)

Draft 7

Author's Note: I have decided to alter the summary of this fic to a pure Overlord fic. The headcanon I built up was disproven once new storylines like Sentinels, Ruined King and Void Empress came up, hence the reason for this change

I'll still use the Worldbuilding aspects to combine with the original New World and see whether it will fit

Ulbert wasn't a very patient man. Growing up inside a foster home and having to practically fend for himself the moment he turned fifteen, the man inside the goat demon have long learned nothing in life can be achieved unless you take the initiative

They arrived in an unfamiliar place. They discovered their avatar has now become their new body. Their abilities have been strengthened bybthe use of anworld item. Now they're about to enter this town to gather information, but his friend is having none of it

"Hey, Ulbert. I told you we have to wait, didn't I?"

He grunted. The human-looking man stare at the equally human-looking boy in confusion. The lich have ditched his invisibility mantle when they realized it's better to disguise as human in case someone noticed them plus the fact that he's not that silent in that robe of his. Luckily, Ulbert have an illusory item that can mask their appearance with low level canousflage

"What's wrong? We're already in disguise. It's gonna be easy blending in with the human here"

"That's not the point" Momonga's human form shook his head, white hair framing his face in an oddly feminine manner "We don't know if there's an ambush waiting for us. Let my summon scout out the area first"

"Your little summon have a 90% chance of aggroing this entire town once they are spotted. We either go low so nobody noticed or go ham and turn this place into a sea of fire" He paused "And what do you mean by an ambush?"

"I left all our World Items back in Nazarick...they're gone along with the Floor Guardians...I'm sorry, but we can't be too careful"

Ulbert admit he has a point. Two defenseless players without their main gears is basically prey for wandering PK-er

Even if their level is off the chart right now, there's no telling if someone will exploit World items to trap them in place

"Better be safe than sorry" Momonga sent him an apologetic glance, before he brought into existence a single being- a dull, pale eyeball with hollowed out iris being replaced with 'marked x's on them. As soon as it came into existence, the eyeball immediately become invisible and wandered off into the sky

"Is that a fucking Deathmark? Since when did you learn to summon it?" He blinked "No, wait, did you used [Dark Wisdom] on some unfortunate soul while i was gone and ripped this out from their arsenal?"

"I hadn't. This mysteriously appeared on my summoning codex as soon as I rechecked it" Momonga frowned "My theory is that our level cap being shattered enabled previously blocked undeads to become available for summoning. However they are still at the Basic level. Looks like I'll still need to build [Undertaker] to level them up"

"Ain't that cool?" Ulbert said, which earned a nod from his friend. He looked toward the sky

Deathmark is an exclusive summon from Yggdrasil. In the game, the option to unlock this thing is limited to learning job classes that have to do with corpse modification, such as [Shaman], [Graverobber], or [Undertaker] as previously mentioned. Once you have them, a range of new summons can be added to your expanding pool of spells
