Overlord: A Change Within

The Comet

Author's Notes: Hi! I'm very happy that you dear reader are interested in my story( fanfiction). So, I want to say thank you for your time and hope you enjoy it. Without further do . . .

The heavens rang, flourished of a myriad of hues, as Ainz viewed outside the window there was a large rock followed by a stream of intertwining blues and purples, soaring through the night sky. Ensuring the transformation of the dreary abyss into one of luminescence and intrigue. Ainz stared at the comet for what seems a lifetime. Nearly being absorbed of all thought and individuality. However, he regained his consciousness from the stupor he had willingly enjoyed.

It has been several months since the defeat of the Demon Emperor Jaldaboath in the Holy Kingdom, but once again, Ainz feels a headache of worries surging to which he must somehow put into perspective. He gave a melancholic sigh as he chuckled.

Ah, all this pile of work. I wish I could take a break. Ainz moaned.

He gave another heavy sigh as he reluctantly pulled his eyes away from the comet. Returning to his seat where a mountain of paperwork reached to an unnatural height. Ainz resumed his work with "diligence"- in the regard where he only stamped most of the paperwork as his shoulders slumped from the exhaustion of the repeated motion. Although, as an undead skeleton, he could not feel fatigue aching his body. Perhaps the mental fatigue of which befalls Ainz or rather Suzuki Satoru, the man who inhabits the body of the undead skeleton, is gradually taking its toll on his health. With the recent events of The Holy Kingdom as well as the unrealistic expectations of his subordinates, a heavy burden is placed on Ainz's shoulders. Indeed stress is the silent killer.

The worries of a boss, I wish they could understand that I am not that great. . .

While he contemplated personal matters, in the inner depth of Ainz's consciousness an urge erupted, increasing his desire to view the comet which was just outside his window. He returned to the window once more to immerse himself in the display- possibly even searing it into his memory. Emotions burst forth as the comet pierced the heavens leaving only a display of shimmering delight and beauty. A fire lit and overpoured, yet . . .

. . Yet it ended. The fire that once burned in his boney chest dissipated. Forcefully drowned and left with nothing but only a pygmy. The curse which hails the body of an undead creates ambivalence in Ainz.

He continued viewing the comet with extreme vigilance. To the point where he essentially studied the object from its velocity to its probable reason, it creates hues of blue and purple. Why am I so drawn to it? His study of the object was, however, put to a halt as he heard a knock from the door.

Oh, who could it be? I don't remember summoning anyone to E-Rantel? Ainz's internal thoughts tinged with nervousness as he turned around to the window hurriedly as he posed in a dignified manner.

In a deep confident voice, "Come in."

The door creaked opened as a smooth and sensual voice said,

"My Lord Ainz, I have the final documents to be approved for several projects in the vassal states."

Ainz continued to view outside the window for a few moments longer.

"Very well then, thank you, Albedo, as always. . ."

His voice trailed off as he turned to Albedo. She had raven black hair with pristine white skin, a white dress adorned with gold spider webbings at the chest. You would think this women's beauty would be comparable to that of a goddess and that would be very much a fact. Yet nonetheless, she inspires that very sensation despite the thick horns protruding crookedly at the temples on her head and the black angel wings at the hips. However, her golden iris and vertically slit pupils causes fear into the beholder. As she is a monster deep down.
