An hour had gone by since he had given his orders to the Head Guardian Silva to round up the Floor Guardians and to have the Area Guardians protect the entrance.

Jack, he was seated on the arm of the throne in a casual manner. His one leg hung off the side, while the other rested on the knee of the other by the ankle. His eyes gazed at the door, awaiting for those heteromorphic beings to come entering the throne chamber, silently with the NPC in the throne beside him.

Soon enough the door would creak and slide open, revealing a pair of twin Overlords entering the room. Their arms were interlocked with one another, as if they were walking down an Isle.

"Ah! Jack-sama! It is good to see you home!" The one in the black framed blue robes cackled.

The other in black framed red robes would cackle shortly after, with a similar note, but of praise. "Yes! Yes! To be expected!"

The two of them sounded like singsong birds, if not flamboyant heralds. They were created by the equally flamboyant player known simply as Honesoko, which literally meant Bone Bottom.

"Teetle Berry and Doodle Berry, Welcome to the Throne Chamber!" The little Witch on the throne would cheer sporadically, throwing her arms in the air.

These two were from the first floor. Their skills were based primarily on magic, seeing as they wore robes rather than armor. Their primary weapons being Divine-Class Adamantite Magic Staffs.

"We are welcomed!" the two threw up their unhooked arms in the air, letting their jaws fall excitedly. They were just two bundles of joy, a strange combination for the undead for sure.

"Remind me to get you two jester hats..." Jack could only stare at them from where he was situated, rolling his fingers on his thigh as they made their way towards the Throne at the opposite end of the room from the door they had entered.

"Too kind! Too kind!" The Skeletal Overlords would say in unison.

The next to enter the room was a massive Half-Golem, who had to duck in order to enter the room without hitting a low hanging chandelier. Though he had a humanoid earthy appearance, he was about three times the size of a normal human being.

"Genji!" The witch continued to squeal the name of the people who were entering the room.

Jack just shook his head slightly at this and raised a hand as the Guardian of the Second Floor nodded its head silently.

Genji was a massive construct, nearly invincible, and sentient to boot, but he was rendered incapable of speech. However he did know sign language, due to the fact that the person who played the character was also unable to speak with a voice.

Their creator's name, SairentoOnna, literally meant Silent Priestess in a combination of Kanji and Katakana. Many of the player's names were based on their character's appearances, allowing one to assume the creator SairentoOnna wore a Miko Dress or something akin to it.

"Can you stop shouting? Jack put his pinky in his ear and swished it around, as he looked down to the sister, a stoic look on his face as he glared through her.

Childishly she just smiled up at him, with an almost smug overtone. "If you say so, Oniisama~"

Jack rolled his eyes, he had never expected her to be like this. Well, he did, he just never expected her to come alive like she was right now. Entitled, high expectations, wanting to be the center of importance. That was the little sister he once had, bundled all into one little once digital vessel.

"If you keep being a brat, I will take the job I gave you away," casually he used this to threaten her into submission and she immediately zipped her lips with a common and plain gesture with the use of her fingers.
