-A room in Kyuketsuki’s quarters-

Time 10:15 AM

In the pitch-black room, dust swirled about slowly building in speed, twisting and whistling in the air. As the light illuminated the room slowly. Revealing the oddly shaped yet perfectly sculpted floors and walls which shined with a radiance of class and royalty. Stretching across the room was furniture organized to look perfectly set, if not a little dusty. Or did till the dust in the room swirled in the air wildly slowly closing in shrinking in size. As the twister became more focused and powerful, reaching all the way to the high ceiling.

Till it looked like a vortex-shaped into a pillar of barely contained power glowing crimson as runes of the circles glowed to match the runes glowing blue on the ceiling. Yet still, pillar shrank down thinner and thinner until a vaguely humanoid shape began to form from the heat and dust of the room. Slowly developing into a girl as smooth skin and perky, but good-sized breasts took shape. Then formed creating a torso as thin stumps poked out lengthening out to form noodle arms and legs blobs slowly split at the ends, making cute delicate toes and fingers. As the limbs grow faintly muscular, finally, an orb popped out of the top as the blank head shapeshifted.

Making a nose with a thin line below it as lips took shape. Pointed ears growing out of the side of the head with a small blob of sleek red hair extend out the two eyebrows and finally slits form above, making eyes only half-way open. As the twister of heat and dust popped runes vanishing, dropping the somewhat human figure to the ground. Snake Tail sluggishly twitching and whipping back and forth, hazy red eyes unfocused with a hiss. As the tiny imp-like wings failed to move. Till they just sank back into the skin like they were never there yet, the horn nubs elongated curving around the front of the head (like Albedo's).

Black empty eyes fully opening slowly, refocusing into red-eye iris slits took in the room around them. With curious eyes trying to figure out how they arrived in this strange place slowly but firmly standing to their feet naked to the world except for one object alone. A gemmed metal band on their ring finger.

Painfully slow, the memories came back to them flashes of master Kyuketsuki, a fight, then a blank like the last 30 minutes of memories had vanished. Not that they could tell the exact amount of time missing. Widening their eyes as they realized something essential, something outshining all other questions in their brain.

"Kyuketsuki-sama, I need to find him!" Rushing to the door until they realized something secondly important.

"Right need a weapon." Scanning over the room as memories came back to them from the sitting area to the bed at the wall, even the door leading to the private bathroom. Finally, landing on the iron twin doors of the closet rushing over to pull them open.

Inside was a collection of weapons that would put any smaller armory to shame. As all but the floor was lined with racks of things such as little Sanborn (throwing needles) all the way up to greatswords and tower shields even. Going up futuristic firearms powered by alchemy, runes, and infinite magic bullets.

It would have been an insult to call this room a walk-in closet more like a fully stocked armory neatly cleaned and organized. This person was carefully going over the choices of weapons instinctively finding one which fit them best. Though they had a scarce talent hand gifted by their master to be able to use every weapon in the room without restrictions, be they magic or not.

With this said, just being able to use a weapon adequately didn't mean they were a master with it. In truth, they could only expertly use a handful of them better than any others. Expertly trained to know exactly how to use them with devastating efficiency and could disarm a novice with but a twitch of their finger.

Gentle hands brushing over a particular weapon, two flails which had no handles only the vile looking spike balls and chains. Grabbing them, they seemed to come alive wrapping around her wrist, stretching all the way up to her shoulders, finally sinking into her back flesh.

Grinning indeed, these were her favorite weapons. They were said to hold a piece of Kyuketsuki’s essence that powered them. Even if they didn't, they were still living weapons able to help her in battle with infinite lengths of chains. Watching them float in front of her fists brought back such nostalgia of venturing out with master.

Shaking the thoughts away, she didn't have time to waste vermin needed smashing. Quickly closing the armory up as the doors glowed, so only a select few worthy individuals could open it. Glancing at the ring, debating using it. Ultimately decided against the option, the ring was only in her possession for safekeeping.

Even if master Kyuketsuki lied about it being able to track her, it was her duty to safeguard it. Rushing to the door and opening it through the main room and into the hallway Without care for her nudity sprinting down the halls, thinking about how strange it had been. To wake up here but at the same time, missing hours and clothes were a privilege could her pulse race with excitement to join master on the field of battle.

All of the supreme warriors were great in their own right, even if she never got to meet all of them. They were masters of strategy and planning, humble servants could only hope to match. Though few ever got the right to be allowed out of the tomb to fight with them. Though maybe this changed after so long.

Coming to a stop, her path was blocked by some woman in a white dress with black wings and horns, eyes glaring at her With distrust and suspicion, holding a dark metal ax.

"How did you get in here worm daring to so casually roam Nazarick’s halls!" Velvet watched this woman with gritted teeth and aura of malice radiating off her.

Ready to attack till the name came to her right, she was guardian overseer of the magnificent tomb of Nazarick. As much as she wanted to brush past them. Velvet was not above this person as attacking them without a proper case would be a betrayal of the supreme ones will. Standing to attention with conviction and care, just like her knowledge told her.

Remembering the many commands and codes, she was created to understand instinctively like muscle memory even after all this time. Stuck in a place, she could not remember for some reason though vagally some detail was there.

"Second personal battle maid of the supreme being Kyuketsuki-sama Velvet Angel sister of Kathrin. unless it is urgent, I must meet back up with my beloved master!"

"velvet? that person is dead, and for lying, we will just have to meet with Ainz-sama to decide your fate!"

Tilting her head at the overseer, who was Ainz? There was no one among the 41 supreme named that. One called such she would know as any resident of Nazarick engraved each one of their names into memory. Until they could be proven of betraying Nazarick. Velvet could not raise a hand against them without orders from Kyuketsuki.

"Then lead the way guardian overseer, but know my time is short." Velvet bowed politely.

Observing every action of the overseer uncaring for the hateful gaze or the eight-edged assassins above. Even as she stood there, which confused Velvet, without outranking Albedo, it would be incorrect to try to boss them around. Patiently following them through the halls uncaring of onlookers working. Till they reached the massive doors to the throne room something, she had never been allowed to enter before not even as this new persona Jade.

Unable to stop quivering with joy and awestruck eyes taking in every detail of the immaculate room, few would be hard press to copy. Lavish adored decorations with only the best of design towering ceiling and flags of all of the supreme ones. Her own gaze fixated on Kyuketsuki's own flag of the moon with bat-like symbols around it, a line coming down from the moon into a heart below.

"Ainz-sama, we have found an intruder. Stop stalling and come over here to present yourself!" Albedo yelled out, rage hidden in her eyes.

Obeying much to her annoyance gazing upon Momonga. Ah, so he has changed his name. Cursing her luck if the overseer had been lying. She could have rightly attacked, then she could be off by now.

"Hello supreme being Mo...Ainz-sama I am Velvet Angle's second personal battle maiden of Kyuketsuki-sama sister of Kathrin mix at your services. Though apology for my rudeness. I must hurry back to master he is in danger a-

Stopping when the supreme being raised his hand hard gaze scanning over her fighting off a blush. To have one of the supreme one's attraction upon her. As the wise leader thinking deeply before responding, though, she could keenly pick up the overseers' jealousy.

"I do not recall your name being part of Nazarick. More importantly, why are you naked with only a ring of our guild no less!" Ainz tried to not let his gaze wander her naked body.

Bowing to the supreme being. "It is not the most pressing issue Ainz-sama; however, the ring was given to me by lord Kyuketsuki for safekeeping though I'm unsure why."

This didn't seem to be the response he was looking for as his sharp eye sockets stared right through her.

"I find it to be an issue story aside. Why are you naked? Explain the reason now."

Unable to see why this mattered, but unable to define a supreme being velvet kneeled closer breast jiggling drawing Momongas eyes.

"I awoke here in my master spare room with a chunk of time missing from my memory. Last, I remember he was fighting some sort of drake near E-Rental. Last, I recall we were still fighting the wolves of [Hel's eternal torch of battle]. Thus, it is imperative I rushed back to his side as fast as possible, so I grabbed a weapon from the closet and ran out. Then I ran into lady Albedo."

With a clear and at ease tone which comfited with Momonga as on the one hand, there was the possibility they were lying. No person Momonga knew could lie this comfortably while being stark naked till this rose a fascinating question. If what she was saying was accurate, it could be confirmed by the list of characters from the vault. Still, he could investigate the claim, but he felt causation was needed in this.

"While what you claim could be true, I feel I must confirm this till then you are to stay in the tomb till this can be verified. You will be required to follow orders until then."

Though this velvet did not say if he could see the way her muscles clenched at the order yet unwilling to disobey. Still, where was Jade, then she should be the NPC designated as the second battle maiden under his friend? Though her story sounded like a pop or spawn, NPC had died and revived hours later. Then why had their name and look changed. Would this happen to the other NPC if they died he would have to look into this? He would have to have Albedo talk to her to see what had changed hopefully find the cause.

"Very well, Ainz-sama, if you would allow, I will be in my room attending to my duties." Not showing her displeasure about this.

With a wave, he dismissed her though wondering if this was the right choice. Yet without communication from Sitabus, it was impossible to say.

-In the Cemetery of E-Rental-

The suffocating air of this room felt like a prison to Sitabus. As he looked over every paper, book, and notes of respawning options. He kept just in case something like Velvet ever happened again, he would be prepared. Yet nothing could ready him for the crushing guilt filling him if he had just stop playing around or not lost his head, then Jade might still be around it had been 24 hours after getting back to the city. Jade never appeared. He had tried everything he could think of to figure out why.

Slamming his fist down on the desk, cracking it distinctly, barely staying up as the wood groaned. Why the amount of gold had been spent to make Jade Revival had vanished. Yet not one hair. Auto-respawn should have worked, and nothing in these notes explained why. His body shook with disappointment eye squeezed shut, trying to think of anything which would fix this.

Kyuketsuki’s magic focused on offensive and defensive, with the rest spread between minor healing, summoning demons, and vampires. With the last portion being filled by illusion, magic and charm spell simply put. He was a fighter and mage sword, not a cleric or shaman. It didn't help, unlike Momonga. He only had an absolute max of 350 spells trading off expanding for his mastery of the creation of potions, items, and creatures.

Yet even he could not bring back the dead without at least a body to work with rage ran unfiltered through him. He had been a fool to not prepare better. Something he would have to change no more playing around.

"Kathrin, come here!" Unintentionally letting his displeasure seep out.

"Yes, supreme one." The battle maid was more on edge than usual, hearing the fury in his voice.

"I have decided it's been long enough. I want the blood knight stationed here at all times, but mobilize my vampire brides and shadow demons. Out stealthily into the city, I want a safety net up if anything new comes up. I want it brought to me immediately. No mistakes!"

Sitabus voice was much colder than usual thinking up battle plans. This would become his fortress city before anyone knew about it. Still much would have to change if he could not bring Jade back the usual way, Then he would need a new lab Nazarick could wait till he was reunited with Jade.

"Of course, Sitabus-sama, anything else?" Fluttered Kathrin’s loving voice.

Thoughts speed around in his brain, just thinking. If he had been holding off, but he could not wait any longer. For this plan to work, Sitabus needed a new lab and meant a steady supply of red vials for it to work. Plus, he would need to ensure Bardic stayed on his side at this point; he couldn’t risk another mishap.

"Have Xennessa start infiltrating as many places as she can. While the one Bardic likes finish up her project quickly. Then I have my own mission for you, Kathrin I need you to get me a steady supply of red vials, and I need something that can last, then I want you to start setting up a new lab under here."

Sitabus stopped to think if he was missing anything. The boy, what was his name? It started with a k something. Pacing in the lit tomb though it just wouldn't come to him sighing in frustration, maybe doing the daily mission would help.

"Have that street urchin you found working. I want him to get me everything he can on Eight Fingers. For now, they will live, but once I'm done with my own task. They will all bow to us or be taken care of. I want these Eight Fingers to think they have won for now."

"At once, master Sitabus it will be done." Kathrin bowing before teleporting away.

Turning over his own thoughts without his editor tools, he would have to find a suitable substitute for the problem. With enough experimentation, it should be possible after all with his blood magic and alchemy there wasn't a thing he couldn’t alter or recreate given time.

Reaching into his personal inventory until he found one particular book pulling out an ancient-looking one. With yellowed pages and bound by a scaly cover made from the hide of a mighty dragon. Flipping through the pages, which shifted the writing and placement of words every few seconds. To anyone else, this book would appear to be madness, but it was imbued with all the combined knowledge of his time being a cursed blood alchemist. Something no regular manual could hold because it would be huge.

So, he opted to have it all condensed down into one handheld book with an infinite number of pages. This whole book was the equivalent of endless high-level spell scrolls all bound together in one neat package.

Stopping on one page was a significant step towards his goal of reviving his dead servant.

"Humm forced revivification and gradual soul modification should work, but …I will still need to find a prime target to work this on." Sitabus muttering to himself the unfamiliar words he knew which spell this related to.

After finishing up, he put in back into his void it was still interesting to know his inventory was like a kind of vacuum in space or pocket dimension. It was also interesting to note he had yet to meet anyone else who had a personal inventory.

'Does this mean that only players have them or can it be recreated yet both Kathrin and J…her sister had one.'

Sighing, he just could not even think of their name without remembering the pain that came with it. He was familiar with loss outside of Yggdrasil. Every other family member was dead, which is one thing that bonded Ulbert And Momonga together the most on. Yet he had been so enamored by finally achieving a dream of his he forgot something. Which he never imagined would be a problem till now.

No matter how powerful you were in YGGDRASIL, you could always be beaten with enough planning and preparation even he could lose. Which was fine back then, but if for some reason, he or his maiden warriors couldn't be revised like Jade.

Shuttering at the thought of what would happen when he ran out of Yggdrasil coins, they were critical to the process. Even auto spawn was depending on the gold coins needed, or it would fail unless no. He personally tested just hours ago resurrection, and other revival spells still worked. Clenching his fist while walking out of the old tomb seeing his blood knights stealthily stalk the grounds around his private office.

It was a perfect place for his needs, and it was the final resting place of some noble line so forgotten the very nameplates were un-legible. He was respectful of the spirits of whoever was buried here. Angry spirits could be annoying to deal with even if they couldn't actually harm him.

Looking out over the night air as the wind blew by, brought up nostalgic memories of a cute little servant. Followed by painful regret, he would strive to make sure there could be a place where they didn't have to worry about such a thing.

Using [perfect unknown] while jumping up to take flight into the chilly night sky. Looking over the cemetery, something he needs to make a habit of. Depending too much on the others is what led to Jade's death. Xennessa groups were fine infiltrators and offensive sorcerers, but she was only about mid-40s group-wise with Xennessa herself being level 49.

The simple fact was they were not as good at eight-edged assassins or blood knights as spotting hidden enemies. They could deal with them if attack but unless reveal they had one flaw. Thus, why they never saw the attack from Tarick coming. Which is why they were too distracted defending the others to notice the situation jade was in.

He was sure to destroy every one of the holy arrows and other weapons, which despite Tarick's low level, could kill level 50 creatures. Which he didn’t know how he had acquired or kept hidden till now.

Sighing as he touched down near the Inn. Dropping [perfect unknown ] and calmly walking into the dining place. Something he planned to change soon, they were moving spots partly for safety and also because he was tired of being constricted on two beds, which were not designed to hold three people.

As Sitabus turned into their hallway, there was Rita cheerfully bounding into view gaze full of excitement to see him. It was something he was starting to get accustomed to. He had been unable to sleep after they got back into town. Too busy working on the way a bring back Jade.

"Hello, lord Kyuketsuki are we going to do a mission now it has been so boring just sitting around here all day?"

Rita's enthusiasm lifted his mood slightly. Even the silent hug helped though it would not change his plans already in motion.

"Yes, we are, but I thought you would be asleep by now, along with Bardic?"

At this inquiry, Rita just beamed. "Well, I have been busy working on my magic control and understanding to boost my casting endurance so I would be ready to go when you got back. Bardic, though, has been having a blast with the nice succubus all day, so he is kind of tuckered out. I'm actually a little worried he seemed to be overdoing it. Don’t you think?”

Patting the redhead like a cat behind the ears to calm her concern. Though Bardic wouldn't be killed for his loyalty, Sitabus needs to ensure he stayed diligent and make it impossible to betray him. Luckily it would also help strengthen the team to be better prepared for harder fights though this plan would have the dwarf indisposed for a few days while the demoness worked their magic charms.

"Let's just leave him be for now. He's earned it besides I wanted some personal time with you, and Kathrin has her own tasks to do."

Pulling Ritana close, who could only nod, feeling this muscular, firm body as they went off for some in-town jobs for the day.

-At Nazarick with velvet-

After re-adjusting her clothes to ensure they fit properly, looking over to see herself in the mirror. Brushing her short hair. Once, it had been down to her back but had changed after getting hit by that golden dragon. Remembering her travels were coming back slowly, only compounded by this second set of memories of Jade coins Mixing in. Though she was comfortable with confusion being stuck in place even if she could not remember what or where it was.

Instead, it was like a vivid dream of her journey thus far after her death upon master's blades; it had been a place so indescribable by all rights, she should be insane. The location between dimensions had a price while she remembered her travels there and the people she meets. It was like a play, but without actual background, sometimes it was a fever dream setting other times, it was a void of emptiness. In fact, she couldn't even describe the people she met there but rather know their characters.

Forgetfulness was her price to bear, but one Velvet would joyously make a thousand times to see Kyuketsuki. It was unknown what happened to Jade. The girl's consciousness had vanished, leaving only her memories and skill. Yet something was lost for this chance.

This was a hard truth she had come to know being stuck between life and death for so painfully long sacrifice was needed. Or this curse would never be broken even now it tried to denied her what she most genuinely wished for.

Reaching over her chest, placing her hand between her bosom, the artifact allowed for auto-respawn had been destroyed. For the force of her own return to a physical plane, even changing this new body slightly.

Still, irritation showed on her face being stuck, here again, separated from her lord. Even when they were no longer on different realities, fate kept them apart. Truly she hates that dragon if not for his interference; this curse would never have befallen her.

Sighing as she stood still, she was bound by rules like always even in death rules had to be followed. It was a comfort to the warrior maiden because those who didn't follow the rules were subject to punishment. Something which had helped her as she worked to guide the lost souls and uphold the laws set in place.

Smiling softly, maybe it could still work lifting up her hands in front of her. As the air twisted and shimmered slowly, a void opened up. Shifting through images at speeds blurred into an array of colors until slowly, an image took shape. Of that handsome face and unparalleled style of armor and class with black and silver hair swaying in the wind. Watching him fly through the air brought back hope to her anxious mind and body.

It helps she could remember those nights as Jade feeling his touch. Even if envy rose up, it was not her name, he called yet, but it would she just need to be patient.

"Un-miss Velvet, are you sure this is wise?" Came Aveda soft tone.

Startled, her focus shattered as the image vanished from view replaced by a void with numbers counting down. Scowling now, she needed to wait for another day to use it again. Though it could be freely used to watch her Kyuketsuki while in place between planes. In any physical world, there was a cooldown time of one day.

Turning to the green-haired maid with aggravation in her eyes fist clenched. "I believe I told you to knock Aveda."

Bowing back to the warrior. "Apologies, my lady, but it is time for you to go on your rounds. Also, lady Albedo wanted to meet with you afterward."

"Still, are you sure showing off this skill so much is wise?" Concern rolling off Aveda’s kind face.

Worry was in her voice, but velvet wasn't worried; death would just mean waiting for her time again. Being cursed was also a blessing because she could not truly die until the conditions were met to break it.

"It is my only comfort in these dark times, Aveda. If I am killed for, it does not matter as long as I can see my lord's face."

Leading the maid out of the room, velvet went around the rooms, checking all the wards, and going to the next.

Making sure the supplies were still being freshly made from each of the odd devices in his lab, each one had a purpose and need was filled, be it making glass vials or filling said vials with different substances from liquids to powders.

It was all so fascinating to watch even if she didn't understand even half. Of what all of this did, but it was essential to Kyuketsuki’s work both for magic and alchemy alike.

After doing a thorough check of the whole lab velvet sighted now with her primary duty done, she would have to go see albedo. It was not dislike; instead, Albedo had resentment against her for some reason she still could not understand. It wasn't like she was after Ainz-sama. Not to say he wasn't devilishly handsome. But frankly, she just was too in love with Kyuketsuki-sama to care.

Besides, when your body had been torn apart and put back together so many times, she lost count of any act done with it. The leader of Nazarick would be just another drop in the bucket. To be with her true love, no price was too high, and she was closer than ever before. To finally being by his side again.

Time was an interesting thing she had lost track of in the other plane; it naturally didn't flow the same or even react the same way. So, it was impossible to know how long she had been searching for this opportunity. Not just because some events could reset time itself in an area where time flows backward.

Still, maybe she could patch things over with Albedo after all she did know ways to make it work even with nothing but bones.

Opening the door to the overseer's meeting room to see her deceiving smile, one few could genuinely tell. What they were planning was all too apparent to Velvet. She had seen the same kind of obsession in the plane between planes.

"Hello, grand overseer, you wanted to see me?"

Taking a seat across from albedo even as the overseer's eye scanned over her.

"Yes, Ainz-sama has entrusted me to test your loyalty and truthfulness, so we will be spending time doing this until I feel satisfied." Emphasizing the last word greatly.

The overseer's words may have sound sweet as honey, but velvet could see the dangerous undertones lingering in those words. She was more than up to any task given to her.

"Then, I shall strive to meet your expectations, grand overseer." Showing nothing but respect to the overseer.

A malicious smile came over Albedo's face hidden seconds later.

"Why don't you just call me lady Albedo, after all, you are a servant of Nazarick now...

"haven't I always been? She questioned.
