Prologue: The Dragon Lord's Plan
10 Days until the Player Cycle
Eryuentiu the flying city…the last remaining structure of the Greed King's reign. Filled to the brim with powerful magic items most in the world couldn’t even dream of. Due to the legend behind the city, it became known as a tourist destination for those who are able to go. Many kings and queens traveled there as a sort of rite of passage. Many unique items are produced in this city bringing in a ridiculous profit. The city is arguably one of the most secure places in the world protected by the mighty Platinum Dragon Lord as well as inhabited by 30 guards armed with Overpowered magical weapons. Even the Black Scripture at its peak wouldn’t be able to infiltrate it. Endless water poured into the center of the city and many man-made streams flowed throughout the magical metropolis.
Deep inside the flying castle, a large simmering figure sat its yellow eyes gazing out. This Large dragon is none other than the Platinum Dragon Lord himself: Tsaindorcus Vaision. Known as the son of Dragon Emperour as well as one of the dragon Coucilours. One of the strongest beings in the world….is silently cursing as he is currently thinking through the latest briefing.
He is currently struggling with the latest threat his father brought to the world. They already conquered the Re-Estize Kingdom and then right after they absolutely razed the theocracy to the ground. As much as he didn’t agree with their policies but he knew they were a necessary evil. This influenced some of the members to create a treaty.
Some of the newer council members felt grateful to the “king” for destroying the nation that wanted to exterminate all non-humans. He finds that thinking… naïve.
Of course, not all the members saw it that way. The other dragon councilors were very wary of Ainz Ooal Gown knowing the threat of players. He doesn’t trust the newly elected Goblin representative. What was his name? Goburin Gunshi…I believe. He must be a sort of plant from the Sorcerer Kingdom…no one is that naïve. The Sorcerer Kingdom does boast similar ideals as the council state as well as Karsanas City-State Alliance. The idea being all races are welcome but…why? What could she have to gain? It’s all too suspicious… even if you believe Ainz Ooal Gown is in charge. Why would an undead create such a prosperous nation for the living?
Players…are quite unpredictable. Some seem to only wish for conquest while others' motives seem much more selfish. One Player comes to mind… a player that earned his respect. Even though he understands his reasoning for denying the resurrection he could use his help right now.
He might know the weakness of the god-like player him being one… he did ask that council member. Well, he didn’t know any big weaknesses but he did have some interesting information. He did confirm the information he knows of their original world….Yggdrasil. Yggdrasil sounds like a hellish place with endless fighting over power. Living in a world like that explains players' temperaments. This does explain their constant wish to expand…and corrupt. Players are like a plague infesting every aspect of this world and it was all his father's fault. It was his duty to protect the world from threats his father created. What was it Riku said? Sins of the father…eh?
Skipping past that thought he resumed his earlier thinking. His yellows rekindled with determination he knows Players are the biggest threat to the world especially the one in charge of the Sorcerer Kingdom. Most of the continent Is now under their control. They have a lot of influence through their RuneCraft weaponry as well as their undead. Capable warriors… and laborers. They already have two large countries has vassals. Even the Holy Roble Kingdom is heavily influenced by the Faceless one.
Even though the Council State might have a treaty with that Kingdom he certainly does not. So he proceeds to bide his time recruiting his remaining comrades from the Thirteen Heroes. Rigrit as well as Azuth instantly agreed, and Miss Inberun agreed with a condition. His council member allies also were rallying their troops. Using a last-ditch escape plan some theocracy members joined the alliance as well. Originally tension between the two sides was flying across the air but as time went on they were united under a common goal. The destruction of Ainz Ooal Gown… He even hesitantly reached out to the other Dragon Lords…he is meeting with the Dragon Councilors tomorrow…another wave of players is coming around the corner. Even if he is not confident he can battle more than one player. The last thing he needs is to fight multiple players on his own….but…if the greedy kings were any indication. Especially beings like the Prime Minster. What a devious player…using an NPC as a figurehead. What’s worse he even hasn’t had a chance to properly gauge her power like the Sorcerer King. Plus, there are the others…. powerful servants that destroyed the theocracy. No matter…they still all fall soon if plan goes
Interrupting his thoughts, he sensed a familiar presence entering his room as he opened his eyes. A familiar petite figure draped in red with a mask that vaguely resembles a face.
“…Miss Inberun what brings you here?” He felt a feeling of nostalgia wash over him seeing his old friend.
“I haven’t heard from you in a while. I was worried something happened…it seems like I worried about nothing. You are just brooding like usual.”
“Blunt as always. How are the preparations coming so far?”
“Surprisingly is coming along well. I guess that dumb Frog isn’t all talk.”
“You still don’t like him…”
“H-E IS TOO NICE OK-cough!” EvilEye cleared her throat before continuing to speak. “No one is that nice.”
“What about Momon?”
“THAT’S DIFFERENT!”
“Right...” The Dragon Lord chuckled as she started glowing red as a tomato which glowed so bright you can see it through the mask.
“We should at least try to reach out to Momon. I am sure he will help us.” She suddenly started causing a sigh to come out of his mouth.
“I know you trust him…but it is too dangerous to try to contact him. He is right in the middle of enemy territory…which is probably partially created a capital there too in prison Momon. ” That is even if he is on the same side as us. He wanted to add that but he knows how fond of him she is.
“Oh! I see. I thought trust was important…but I guess I shouldn’t take a person lying about their identities to their “friends” word.” Evileye voice darkened words were like daggers to the dragon lord's heart.
“I am sorry… that I lied to you guys… You know why I couldn’t tell you. It is not that I don’t trust you… I don’t trust Momon. You know of the danger of players all too well and if Momon was able to battle Jababloth which from the information you gathered is stronger than the Evil Deities. ”
“Even if he is a player, maybe he is like Riku! I am sure he can help us!”
“Miss Inberum.”
“OH! I See how it is. You trust me…you just don’t trust my judgment…whatever.” She scoffed before she teleported away. A silence filled the chamber which was once wrought with emotion. He let out a sigh. She hasn’t changed a bit… He smiled remembering how she and Riku would almost constantly be arguing with each other. She can be quite an emotional person…but she sincerely cares about her allies. Momon… was an being able to kill that powerful vampire that heavily damaged his golem. How strong must he be? It would be great if he is like the leader of thirteen heroes but he most likely works with the Prime Minister. Another threat to worry about.. as he shook his head he slowly stood up to his full height he barely fit into the space before using [World Teleportation]. As a shining enveloped his body he disappeared…
A large curvaceous woman covered with shining golden eyes wearing a blue robe that isn’t like anything she wore before. It had a strangely soothing effect on her body giving her more mana. As she focused her eyes narrowed as she thrust her arms out. A shining light surrounded her arms as suddenly numerous large pin light needles manifest above her.
“[Wild Magic: Cacasding Light]!” The Large pin-like needles suddenly rained down and completely eviscerated the undead dummy. As the lights finished raining down leaving nothing raining from the undead the light needles emptied into the ground suddenly exploded in a synchronized fashion.
Letting out a rough exhale sweat falling down her face barely standing after the attack. A soft but clear clap echoed through the auditorium. She knelt as she gazed up at the audience at the vestige of death himself: Ainz Ooal Gown.

Two bright red lights shone through the two empty holes which peered at her seemingly analyzing her entire being. His presence alone was foreboding with a miasmic haze around him.
“Fascinating. “[Wild Magic: Cascading Lights]” was it? What was the cost to cast it Miss Oriculus?” The woman who knelt down was the ex-ruler of the Dragon Kingdom, Queen Draudillon Oriculus. The Draconic kingdom was merged 60 years prior. During that time it was on the brink of collapse the Beastmen invaders were about to infiltrate the capital. Once they agreed to merge with the sorcerer Kingdom The Beastmen invaders were squashed and they submitted to them in a single night. She shudders thinking about what possibly could have made them submit so fast.
The might of the Sorcerer Kingdom surprisingly put her at ease especially since she has no intention of fighting against them. That would be foolish she would be putting her people in danger if she were to take a stand. 40 years ago the Sorcerer King himself put her on a project to help create. The Draconic Lexicon. A book with all known wild magic in the world. She learned a lot about wild magic and dragons from her tutors. [Cascading Lights] was one of her grandfather's signature moves, one of the only times he ever reached out to her.
She doesn’t know much about her grandfather only from word of mouth from her subordinates. From what they tell he is an extremely smart individual who thinks of fighting as nuance he is still a powerful fighter. Of course from one of the few meetings with another dragon lord her grandfather is a terrifying individual…and also a pervert.
“You are correct my liege, the spell was called [Wild Magic: Cascading Lights]. It takes 50 souls to activate the spell...but I sadly mimic a fraction of the spell’s true power.” Draud flinched as Ainz let out an “umu”.
“I wonder how strong the original spell is…” The sorcerer King contemplated under his breath before he set his none existence eyes on her again. “That will be all…you may leave.”
“Thank you, lord.” The half-dragon bowed before leaving a feeling of relief flowed over her body. As exited the room a familiar breaded figure walked passed him entering the coliseum they simply nodded at each other as the old man walked in.
A robed figure walked through a majestic hall the wall of this place radiated powerful magic unlike anywhere in the world. The halls were beautifully decorated with golden and silver carpets lining the floors and the roof. The man held a large book in their hands which it held like the most important object in the entire world…because it was to this man. This man is a magical researcher of Sorcerer Kingdom Fluder Paradyne. A man who spends his entire life researching magic and finally he found a teacher with magical power which knows no bounds! His master tasked him with chronicling all the known magic in the world which includes the ever elusive Wild magic of Queen Draudillon Oriculus. As his reward the sorcerer King would show him a spell never seen before by anyone in this world. Growing giddy like a child receiving a present. He proceeds to enter a large colosseum his teacher/master awaiting.
“Ah Fluder Paradyne.”
Tsaindorukusu Vaishion arrived at an undisclosed area somewhere a large structure wooden structure with large dragon golden carvings and marble statues adorning the walls. It was an elegant yet simple place only the 5 Dragon Councilors knew of this place. Suveria Myronsilk the Blue Sky Dragon Lord created this place he is the second strongest Dragon councilor next to himself. As gazed at his fellow Dragon Lords Surveia Myronsilk was right next to him. The dragon was sky blue with large wings and strange insignia glowing on his body. The smell of nature radiated off of him. After confirming the Blue sky dragon Lord's attendance he gazed at Omnaadsence Iculvuls the Diamond Dragon Lord. The Dragon Lord had spiky shining diamond scales all over the body protruding like horns.
Gessenvult Yukleelilith The Obisdan Dragan also sat nearby all light seemingly drawn into his pitch black scales. His orange eyes flared like coal in a fireplace. Zalazilkalia Nahaeunt The Wyrm Dragon the eldest of the Councilors as well as strangest looking. The Wyrm looks more snake-like compared to his other Councilors. All of the Councilors radiated power which condensed like fog in this cavern-like building. All the dragon Lords were interested in what the Son of the dragon emperor wanted to discuss.
“I appreciated your attendance my fellow Dragon Councilors. I have come here to ask for your assistance in destroying the Sorcerer Kingdom.”
“That is-ss quite an as-sk Councilor Aganeia. Es-specially s-since that would mean antagonizing a player and we all know how dangerous-s they are.” The Wyrm Dragon's voice slithers up its throat drilling into the dragon lord's ear. Just his voice demanded an aura of compliance. Councilor Nahaeunt was a very powerful commander and just one word can empower an entire army. Tsaindorukusu respects him greatly due to his experience. He is one of the first dragon Lords to encounter a player which left him with a large scar. “ Why bring unnecessary conflict when we have been in peace for nearly a hundred years?”
“Because the ruler is a player is exactly why we must destroy them. We have already seen what they are willing to do over a caravan of grain and he has already conquered most of the land. What makes you think they will stop? ” The Plantium counselor questioned eyeing the other dragon lords.
“Then we will deal with that when it comes.” Tsa locked eyes with the orange eyes of Councilor Yukleelilith. “ That would be the last mistake they make. ”
“ Councilor Aganeia I agree with Councilor Yukleelilith we have an advantage in council state areas after all there is an reason we stockpiled so many souls.” The Diamond Dragon Lord stated.
“Councilor Aganeia… I agree to help you.” Suddenly Councilor Myronsilk interjected surprising everyone in the room.
“Councilor Myronsik you want to start a war with the Sorcerer Kindom? Why?”
“Because I want to prove myself.. my father and brothers fought against the Greed kings to defend the realm…which made them heroes. What does it mean to be a Dragon Lord… Councilors? What is our duty?” No one had to say anything after all they all knew the answer. PROTECTOR!
“Heh. I will join too..why not? Can’t let you hog all the glory. Maybe it will be interesting.” Obsidian Dragon Lord and Diamond Lord nodded.
“Councilor Aganeia you must have some sort of plan…yes?” The wyrm lord asked
“ Thank you Zalazilkalia. Indeed I do….so here is my plan.”
