《Draconic Overlord》Chapter 3 - Decision
Advertisement
After hearing Sasha's report on the situation outside Yuki couldn't help but be shocked. Yuki first thought that she was brought into Niflheim, but instead it seems like the whole Crystal Palace was brought somewhere else.
The fact that they weren't in Niflheim was disturbing. If they were in Niflheim surviving wouldn't be difficult. A completely new world however was something else. With no knowledge of the situation outside Yuki engraved it into her heart to be extra careful in the future.
"Shimizu report."
Hearing the princesses command Shimizu immediately began her report on the defence systems of the Crystal Palace.
"Hime-sama the palace conditions are optimal. All defence systems are online. The palace shield is successfully shielding us from everything outside."
Acknowledging Shimizu's report with a nod Yuki began to think about the next step she would take. If she really wanted to she could live the rest of her life here in the Crystal Palace. The palace has a built in magical well and a whole section dedicated to farming.
In Niflheim farming special herbs was a big part of the game for Yuki. With herbs you could make potions and with potions a player could increase their efficiency in skilling or make bossing easier. With herbs being so precious having a huge farm dedicated just for the rarest herbs to be grown made the Crystal Palace very wealthy.
Growing herbs itself wasn't as popular as crafting or blacksmithing. Growing herbs required a lot of patience and the rarer herbs required a lot of attention too, because of this most people would choose to just buy their potions ready made. With a single mid tier potion being worth hundreds of gold coins you could only imagine how rich the Crystal Palace was.
The Crystal Palace was famous in all of Niflheim for two reasons. One was the famous beauty of a princess Yuki and the other was the unique and extremely rare potions that the Crystal Palace would sell.

In Niflheim every player was unique. This was because a player had to learn the skillset for their classes themselves. This was not to say that every class had the same skillset. Two players who have mastered herblore might be at the same level but in reality one would be better than the other in deferent areas. Hence no two player were the same.
With the status of the palace being safe for the moment Yuki's next objective was to see if everyone was still powerful just like in the game.
In Niflheim the levelling system wasn't anything unique. A player could practise an many skills as they wanted, however mastering a skill was completely different. The famous saying jack of all trades master of none couldn't be more perfect.
The first class Yuki had mastered was one of the reasons why she was so famous. Yuki had mastered the magician class meaning she had full control of fire water earth and air. Out of all the elements Yuki was most drawn to fire. Being able to burn your enemies with a flick of the wrist how cool was that.
The next class Yuki had mastered was the monk class. Yuki loved to fight with her fists and the monk class was exactly that. Although the name was kinda lame monks were the mystical martial artists in Niflheim. They would use a special type of energy within their attacks. This energy was called Ki. Ki is very similar to mana and is used by martial artists to increase their speed and power.
Yuki's final class was herblore. This class allowed players to concoct different potions and farm precious herbs.
Yuki’s herblore was at a mastery level and her combat potions were legendary, but her miscellaneous potions were godlike. From the amazing anti dragon fire potion that would protect you 100% from dragons breath for a short period of time, to the Phoenix tear potion that would regenerate a player to full health as long as they weren’t dead. Yuki’s potions were extremely sought after.

To have mastery in more that one class was very difficult and in the game only a handful of players had achieved such a feat. Of course Yuki was one of them.
With Rin still in her lap Yuki closed her eyes and tried to focus on the power within her. Yuki who had mana and Ki within her felt like she was unstoppable.
Both energies circled around inside her body. Lost in concentration Yuki didn’t notice the oppressing aura she was releasing.
Shimizu and Sasha couldn’t breathe and were frozen in place, however Rin felt it the most. The oppressing aura to Rin felt like it would snap her in half. Forget breathing not a single hair on her head dared to move.
The feeling of circling Ki and mana throughout her body reminded Yuki of how it felt in the game. The feelings of both energies entering every pore every cell inside her body made her feel refreshed. Confirming that her power was still the same Yuki turned her attention to her comrades.
Unlike players NPCs could only master two classes. This was to stop players creating overpowered NPCs that would do all the work for them. Cultivating a NPCs class to mastery level was much harder than mastering the class yourself. NPCs were also restricted from learning crafting based skills. Again this was to stop players from exploiting them.
Rin had mastered the class dark magician and and the class necromancer.
Sasha had mastered the classes Druid and swordsman particularly focusing on the rapiers.
Finally Shimizu the strongest NPC mastered the classes assassin and archery. Yuki had spent years of effort on Shimizu to the point were she could stop Sasha's powerful sword strike with a small dagger or shoot a target with a bow and arrow from absurd distances.
"Rin Sasha Shimizu circulate your energies around your bodies and tell me if anything feels different."
The three of them who were finally released from Yuki’s dominating aura started circulating mana/Ki throughout their bodies and thankfully nothing was wrong. All three of them were in peak condition.
"With the Palace defence systems and shields in working order and with the location we’re currently in we don't have to worry about anyone finding or looting our home. With that in mind I want to descend the mountain tomorrow. I don't have an active goal in mind, but I don't wish to live my life hiding away in the middle of nowhere. With that said prepare for departure!"
Yuki's order echoed throughout the throne room and immediately all three of her servants vanished into thin air. With Rin no longer on her lap Yuki missed her warmth and decided to call it a night heading towards her bedroom.
