"WORDS" = Speaking in Japanese

If the name is Deamonius, it is Y/n speaking as the character, if it says Y/n than it is just him speaking.


A group of players led by the Paladin 'HungryForOctopus' approached their raid target. They traversed the swamp with ease and every monster they encountered was quickly killed. This raid was carefully prepared by their guild and now with 20 members fully equiped and on max level they were ready to finally do what many before them failed, raiding the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the guildhall of Ainz Ooal Gown.

The name of the guild was enough to make conversations go quiet. It was for a good reason, noone dared oppose the mighty guild and its members. Out of YGGDRASILs top 10 strongest players six are members of Ainz Ooal Gown. Those being the Armor of Death 'TouchMe', the Mistress of Minds 'Bukubukuchagama', the Lady Luck 'Yamaiko', the Creator God 'Ulbert Alain Odle', the Ruler of Death 'Momonga' and the number one player himself, the 'Demonlord of Sin' Deamonius.

Each and everyone of those names could strike fear in the hearts of enemies to Ainz Ooal Gown. Be it from their strong skills in defense, high stats in CC-type magic, obscene luck, great creativity, a terrifying amount of spells or simply because of the highest possible level.

As news of someone having reached a level higher than the maximum level of 100, swept the forums, people quickly thought it was just another cheater having found a loophole, but as the creator of the game himself revealed that there was indeed a secret questline that will allow the player who manages to complete it to reach the level 150 many began to try and find out how to trigger the quest to begin. None succeded. None other than the person who found the first quest, Deamonius, who after 4 years of playing and testing, at the age of 10 no less, found the hidden requirement to trigger the quest 'Overcoming your Greed', not a year later he found the quests 'Overcoming your Lust' and 'Overcoming your Wrath'. It took him, all together, 7 years to find all the 8 hidden quests, each one allowing him to unlock a new racial skill as a Demon.

He documented his adventure and journey to become the 'Demonlord of Sin' it was no mere title other players gave him, instead it was the name of the race he unlocked thanks to completing the hidden quests. In his blog he wrote:

Year 4, 15th of July: I finally found the clue I was looking for, a single particle, that was all the creator gave us as a hint. I knew that Demons had to have somekind of advantage to balance out all the disadvantages. You can't create a race and have it be so much weaker than all the others. There had to be something and I finally found it. Everytime you would steal using a pickpocket type skill or spell a single, miniscule wisp of greenish yellowish smoke would be emitted by the item you stole. It took me so long to find the reason behind it. After stealing a total of 1 platinum coin, or 100 gold coins, worth in items from NPCs or players, I got the notification of 'My Greed having reached its peak'.

Year 4, 19th of July: I found the next clue to this mystery. The color of the smoke itself show where you have to go and look. The only place that I know that has a yellow name is the 'gold mine of Franxis the Greedy' a low to medium level dungeon.

Year 4, 20th of July: I did it, I unlocked 'Overcoming your Greed' one of the ,probably 7, hidden quests. I looked in the dungeon I mentioned in my previous entry and low and behold there, in the last room, not the boss room but the room you will find the rewards, one of the many torches, instead of having the usual blackish smoke texture it was yellow smoke the flame emitted. Touching it I unlocked the quest, the description is not very helpful though and only tells me to 'overcome my greed' whatever that might mean.

Year 4, 9th of August: Finally I found the next clue. And I feel dumb, all I had to do was give over 10 Platinum worth of items or money to the orphanage in the nearby town. Once I did so I was told to return to the torch in that dungeon and as I entered the room the torch was gone and a small portal opened as I approached it. Let's hope the dungeon won't be too hard, I doubt I will find someone to join me.
