Child of Nazarick

Chapter 17

Hey Guys! Crescent Rider here and I'm back with the first chapter of season 2! As promised, I've gone ahead with mass-releasing chapters and I'll admit. It's a bit better than posting once per story.

And just a reminder, this story follows Hope instead of Ainz and I plan to give both OC and Canon Characters the spotlight in the story.

That is all and enjoy the chapter!

E-Rantel

A week has passed since Hope became an Adamantine-ranked adventurer and a leader of her party. The place in which she resides would be Lizzie's former shop after some remodeling changes.

By then, the townsfolk, adventurers, and magic casters flock over to her home as she also converted it into a shop for low-ranked items, medicine, and ingredients under reasonable prices.

But she wouldn't be the one tending to her customers...

Slumping down at the counter was a young woman with pure albino hair, amber eyes, fine leather clothes, and a silver necklace around her neck. This was the second member of her party, Celicia Veyron a.k.a Ninya of Swords of Darkness.

She practically sighed to herself after a hard day's worth of work on the counter and Hope would go about her way to meet her, "Good work as usual,"

"Thank you very much," Celicia thanked,

"As for your payment," Hope would pull out a spell book from her [Inventory] and pass it to her hands, "This book contains a variety of 2nd Tier Spells. Try them out or master them if you can,"

Celicia smiled and took the book off her hands. It hadn't been days since she was supposedly resurrected by Hope's hand, but in exchange for her resurrection life, she became Hope's eternal servant...

It may seem like a curse, but for her, it was a blessing in disguise as Hope kept her word in making her an apprentice in the arts of Magic. The only thing she regrets is her former friends not sharing her miracle...

Flashback

In just five days, the Arachnoid Egg hatched, and what emerged from its shell was Ninya with a child-like physique as well as a modified version of the Arachnoid.

She would gasp for air as her change is relatively recent, and then Hope would stand before her.

"Hope-san?" Ninya muttered with recognized,

"Welcome back to the land of the living," Hope greeted, "I hope you were comfortable in your sleep,"

"Huh?" Ninya mouthed with confusion, then it clicked when she recalled a particular memory, "What of the others?! And Nfirea-san?"

"Nfirea is fine, as for the others..." Hope dons a sorrowful look, "I'm sorry, but you were the only one I could bring back,"

"No..." Ninya muttered with widened eyes,

"Peter, Lukrut, and Dyne's souls were contaminated by necromancy while yours remained clean," Hope explained, "I wish I could do more for them, but the deed was done,"

With that, Ninya starts to cry and Hope pulls the reborn Magic Caster close to ease her grief...
