"As expected of our compassionate lord. For the sake of his subordinates he spares no effort."
"To think that he is willing to go *sniff* to go that far for my sake *sniff*."
"A-Ainz-sama's magic is impressive, I think…"
"snoisolpxe ta kool t'nod syug looc!" (Truly the only being worthy to rule over us all!)
"Heh, as expected of the only being truly fit to rule over me."
But amongst even all of these voices there was one even more remarkable than all the others. Surprisingly it belonged to none of the guardians or the Pleiades, but instead…
"Huhuhu…"
Fluder softly murmured a slight chuckle before his body began to violently tremble with excitement. From the looks of it, he may very well collapse at any moment if this went on. But not before his voice finally exploded into a roaring laughter!
"HAAHAAHAAA, TO THINK THAT IT WAS THIS PROFOUND HAHAA! ALL THESE YEARS I HAVE NOT LIVED IN VAIN! THIS COMPLEXITY! THIS DEPTH! I FLUDER WHO HAVE BEEN TREADING IN DARKNESS MY WHOLE LIFE ADMIT DEFEAT TO THE GREATEST OF SORCERERS AINZ OOAL GOWN! IS IT DEPRESSING?! DO MY LUNGS HURT FROM LAUGHTER?! THE ANSWER IS YES! BUT TODAY I HAVE FINALLY SEEN THE VERY END OF THE ROAD OF MAGIC! TODAY MY LIFE HAS BEEN FULFILLED! FUHAHAAHAHAHAHAAAAHAAAAAH!"
Roune wanted to shout all kinds of things at Fluder who he used to treat as his own mentor and greatest ally in aiding the king. But now all he could do was restrain himself from lashing out as technically speaking Fluder's reaction was more appropriate than his own. If he tried to harm Fluder, it would be the same as insulting the Sorcerer King, not that he'd stand a chance against Fluder anyway.
And so eventually the capital grew increasingly quiet. The sound of death throes were gradually fading as all that remained was the sound of the rain falling down upon the city, consecrating the ground even further.
That and the maniacal laughter that echoed far and wide.
And so the day that would be known in the history books as the Tragedy of the Undying City finally came to an end.
Afterword
This is just a last afterword of why I made this fanfic and my experience making it. Nothing more to add to the story just some random thoughts I wanted to share. If u think that that's unnecessary for a fanfic or just not what you want to read than feel free to skip to last paragraph where I talk about my , next work. If that's not interesting either than close this tab and have a nice day
So basically some months ago when the last volume of overlord got translated, I like many of you started looking for any replacement for my Saturday addiction which was the incredible masterpiece called overlord. Eventually I even crossed over to the dark side and began browsing… fanfics
Don't get me wrong I love fanfics that are well written but the problem is that you're playing Russian roulette with them as was proven when I came across one where Zesshi asks to have sex with mare… but most important of all I was disappointed at the lack of really good masterpieces, the only one that appealed to me was the guest. At this point I did not realize that I had the T rating filter on though…
So in order to rectify this presumed atrocity I summoned from the darkest pits of hell the six most evil and dark creatures imaginable (aka my anime friend group). after I told them what was up we all agreed that the wait for vol 10 was too long and that we could easily come up with a plot for it (which we did).
So my goal was to make a story that would come as close as possible to what an original volume 10 of overlord would look like. I think that without boasting or being too critical I can say that I partially succeeded. Some parts and concepts were hits and others were misses but that's just writing. If your reviews are any indication I seemed to have pulled off writing an enjoyable fanfic.
So afterwards I started writing while me and my friends began advertising the story a little bit and what a checklist we have. I never imagined that writing a simple overlord fanfic I'd accomplish all of the following:
Crack top 5 in terms of follows, reviews and favorites- check
Get over 50000 views- check
Write the biggest overlord fanfic-check
Get featured on skythewood- check (even as an April fool's joke that was awesome)
Get banned from skythewood- check (F no longer true)
Have your story featured as the fake volume 10- check (on subreddit)
Get booed from 4chan for spamming- check
Have your story translated into another language- check
Have your story become the best T rated fanfic of overlord- check
Have someone recognize you as the author- check (I write this fanfic on the train and apparently the guy sitting next to me was a fan and recognized what I was writing)
And lastly survive a terrorist attack- check (like seriously thank god for this fanfic or I might have died)
So anyways the last thing I don't have is some fanart of my story, not that anyone would want to draw something based on anything I wrote but if there are people willing to do that than pm me and send it over and I'd be happy to use it as the cover or my personal avatar photo. (if it's not simply a doodle of a skeleton)
Finally before I talk about the future. Let me just say that can I get a warm round of mental applause for my awesome beta from the home of the brave who corrected advised and guided my work since chapter 3. Everyone give it up for 7137! So with all that settled here's my future plan.
What I plan to do next is kinda complicated. I really want to keep writing fan volumes but also want to continue building on the stories that I already wrote. So what I'm going to do is the following. I will write fan volumes after each volume is translated but I'll also write side stories for each individual volume that will be in line with what I've written in the volume they follow but not in any of the other fan volumes or their side stories . So what this means is that I will write a couple of side stories for Light's downfall that will be in line with the events in this volume but not with the events in fan volume 11 or any of that volume's respective side stories. So it will look like this
Light's downfall- sidestory 1- sidestory 2-….
Volume 11-sidestory 1 -sidestory 2-…..
This makes it easier for me to keep things kinda cannon. This way I can adjust my fan volumes to be cannon with at least the last overlord volume. And if you think I'm making this too complicated trust me I could be more difficult if I wanted to. So from now till vol 11 gets translated I will post a non-overlord format side story called "Conquest of Lodos Forest" featuring my favorite characters in Overlord.
That concludes my afterword, thank you for following and liking my story and I hope to have you enjoying my next story soon.
