The Lost Player (Overlord)

Chapter 13 - Building Blocks

Yall I haven't written in forever, so if this chapter sucks I need yall to tell me so I can rewrite it lmao. But it has been a while since I touched the Overlord franchise so if there are any evident plot holes please lemme know :) Also I'm not gonna lie I actually think I hate this chapter. This could honestly be considered as a filler chapter. But like always, please enjoy this chapter :)

Special Chapter for @KatyCristy :) sorry it took so long :(

3rd POV

Truth be told, Blanks wasn't interested. She had heard all about the Lizardmen and the steps they were taking to subjugate it, but she just wasn't interested. At first Ainz and the guardians were worried that something had happened to Blanks as she was recovering, but decided to let her be as they didn't want her to have to exert any more energy than she had to. This left Blanks to oversee the building of the counterfeit Nazarick. Well "oversee" was really all she did. She offered to help and occasionally would but whenever she was caught by the guardians, they would tell her to rest. So all she did was just sit, well float, there and watch all the denizens zooming around and creating things at Aura's command.

She tried her best to lessen the workload on Aura but even the small elven child did not take kindly to it. At first, Aura had worked herself to the bone, not taking any breaks and prioritizing all of her time towards building the fake Nazarick. It was at this time where Blanks remembered to give her the gift she mentioned a while ago. She did have to limit some of the wristwatch's functionality, cause of y'know... chagama's real job..., but at least she could set an alarm to make sure that Aura would at least take a break or eat. Although Blanks wasn't always there to watch it, the few times she did, it was always a great mood booster seeing the elf brighten up at the voice of her creator.

Truth be told, Blanks' wounds were almost completely healed. There was still a bit of pain here and there but it wasn't bad enough for the guardians and Ainz to treat her like she was a bedridden patient. It was torture enough that she was forced to stay in bed for a week, but a different guardian was there every day to accompany her. The gesture was appreciated but Blanks at her very core was an introvert. And due to her often playing as a solo player, being around people so often drained her battery.

After persistent nagging from the guardians, even after she was freed from her cage of a room, they insisted that she at least maintain communications with one of them every so often. It wasn't preferred but Blanks' would rather do that than stay stuck in her room for another week. She had been spending most of her time with the Pleiades girls and every once in a while with the other female guardians. She did always chat the most with Lupusregina, as she was pretty much the only one that spoke to her the most casually.

Though she did still have her tendency to disappear every once in a while to do her own thing, which Yuri Alpha would often strongly remind her not to do.

One of the places she did go off the record, was the 9th floor bar within the tomb of Nazarick. She never visited, but she had heard that Shalltear had been visiting often which was a concern. Blanks was obviously aware of the fact that Shalltear had total resistance to poison, but she was still not a fan of this habit.

She walked into the bar, which alerted Clavu (The bartender) into immediately greeting her, "Lady Blanks! It is an honour to host you in my bar, how may I help you?" She smiled and replied, "I am actually here to check up on Shalltear, however I heard from around the tomb that your drink the Nazarick was quite popular. If it's not too much work, can you make one for me?" He replied instantly, "There is no such thing as too much work for a Supreme Being. I will make one for you immediately." "I appreciate the service, but please feel free to treat me like your other guests. You are known for your relaxing atmosphere in this bar after all." He looked confused but agreed and continued to make Blanks' drink.
