Overlord: Origin

Chapter 23

In the game YGGDRASIL, there's a certain space called Private Platform. This Platform is not accessible to any Players unless they're allowed to by the Administrators themselves.

Though this Platform has no exact purpose. In fact, throughout the whole time that the Game has run, the Private Platform has only been used twice.

The first is when a Player used an item that allows him to contact the Administrators themselves, and the second is... today. The day of The World Tournament.

The World Tournament had just ended, and there's a total of Nine Players that was hailed as the winner, or in other terms, the World Champions.

Each World Champions will get two things for winning the Event. The Job Class called "World Champion", and the World Champion Item. Both of these will be given by the Administrators themselves.

And since the winning prices of the tournament are not something they can just give straight away due to its complexity, they will have to meet each winner Face to Face.

And that is where the Private Platform comes into play. That is where the Winners of the World Tournament got dragged off to right after they won the final round of the World Tournament.

In the middle of Tokyo, there's a certain Building called, Takayama Building. This Building is where the Developers and everyone that is involved in the game YGGDRASIL, works.

Right now, everyone inside the Building is pretty busy. Though all of them are pretty much busy every day, today is much more busier since a big Event is currently happening inside the game.

On the sixth floor, the floor where the Administrators are located is more busier than the others. They have much more work since they don't just have to work on the surface of the game, but today, they also need to interact with Players too.

Today, they will give some Players a Class and an Item as some sort of reward. Giving Players a Class is not much of a problem, though it will still be a lot of work, it is still not comparable to the sheer amount of work they have to do for the Item section. The Item that they will give is something that the Players themselves will decide. Whatever the Players want, they have to work on it on the spot. It's not the same as the other Events where the reward Items are already decided.

All the Admin's faces look dead tired. At this current time, they're on a short break that's why all of them are to be seen out of their offices. Or at least not all of them.

*Intense Typing SFX*

One of the Admins who, if one were to look at his face, anyone can see that he looks far younger compared to the other ones, are still inside his office typing something on his computer while looking visibly irritated.

"... I'm really going home late tonight." He said as he sighed heavily while still typing continuously.

*Creak*

Suddenly, the door of his office opened up and his co-worker, who's also an Admin, peeks inside and says something to him.

"... Oi Satoshi, you aren't going out? Break is about to end already."

"... Umm, I'm still pretty busy. I'll just catch up later once this ends." The Admin who turns out to be called Satoshi, looks towards his Co-worker and said with a sorry face.

"... Hmm, okay then. Just don't overwork yourself." His Co-worker said before he proceed to leave the room and go outside.

*Thud!*
