Damn it, I have been thrown into a plot with the yandere succubus!

            With a small hum, I walked out of my bedroom, stretching out a little bit as I stepped forward. I gave a small wave to the line of maids off to my left as I stepped down the thron- Wait… That can’t be right. I was sitting back home pouring rum into bottles. I paused right where I stood and sifted through my memory for a moment and, to my astonishment, there was quite a lot of it. Twenty three years of memories to be exact, most attributed to VR gear and YGGDRASIL and… Ah shit. I quickly took a look around the area and, while I at least had the benefit of being in a world I partially knew of (And know knew much more), I quickly dropped to my knees and held my hands up high. “Fuck! I am stuck in a world with that yandere succubus and lamprey vampire!”
            I only paused for a moment as I was given weird looks by the maids… then Albedo, who was looking down at me from the point at the top of a set of stairs that led up to a throne. Sitting in said throne and, now looking down toward me with astonishment (If his face could move… His jaw dropping was good enough.), was the elder lich Momonga. Technically, only his character, who was now him, was the elder lich… He was a player of the game beforehand. At least I stopped the groping scene before it happened, but… Now I had various people staring at me like I was insane.
            I cleared my throat, composed, and slowly climbed up to my feet. “Uh… Sorry about that. Um… Uh… Momonga… Why are we still here? Didn’t the servers get shut down?” I asked, at least trying to come off as someone who was actually from the universe… At least I seemed to have memories and experience, as did the others, that would make it seem as if I was.  My other eye was still moving of its own accord, but I reached up to give Meddy a gentle poke so that she knew not to continue to do so. ‘I… I thought they did. Maybe they didn’t?’ I heard from Momonga in my head, probably through a message spell as he seemed to be thinking for the moment. One of the maids, aesthetically pleasing woman with long, black hair and the classic French maid outfit stepped up, asking if I needed any assistance. I simply gave her a nod and asked her to fetch me something to drink. It didn’t matter what as long as it wasn’t magical. With my own message spell, that I seemed to know, I messaged back a simple “I have no clue. Well, I do… but, you might not believe me this time around. Let’s go to the meeting room… Might be best to speak of this in private. Also, do what you think is best… We might not be in our world any more as, if you have noticed, the NPCs are acting of their own accord. Searching the perimeter of Nazarick and gathering everyone on level six in the amphitheater.”
            After I finished speaking, he sent them off to search the perimeter of the tomb and instructed Albedo to gather the guardians of each floor, specifically, and meet up in the amphitheater in two hours. At least he mostly listened to my instructions, but his reasons were decent as we… he… did not know where we were. We gathered in the meeting room, an extremely large, grandiose table with the guild symbol etched into the center filled the room, 42 chairs lining the table with even spacing. Because we were the only two there, I actually took the time to pick up my chair, that I knew of from my new memories, and carry it all the way over to where he sat down.
            “I hope you don’t mind, but considering the fact that there might be only us two, as the others logged off, probably won’t hurt.” I stated, quickly plopping into the chair with a small huff. ‘Well, you did this during the Christmas party to talk to just about everyone in the spa, I don’t think it matters even now.’ He replied, gently letting go of the guild staff so that his hands were free, the symbol of the guild floating just a few inches off of the ground beside him. Though, I had to ask him something… Just to keep up the charade, though, anything I stated was almost entirely not a lie as far as my past in this world was concerned. To them and to me, it all happened.
“So, you took the guild staff, hmm? Don’t blame you considering the fact that the server was about to shut down.”
‘Aye… Though, your eye looks a little odd. Did this whole event did something to us?’
“Oh? This? No, it is an illusion… Yeah, an illusion.” I stated, reaching up to give Meddy a gentle tap with my finger and, thankfully, she went along with the act by quickly unfusing with my head (Now that she could) and filled my hand as a little snake, which I moved to quickly hide her in my… fuck, where are my pockets… I didn’t give this armor pockets… So, I just kind of put her in my sleeve for the moment. He seemed to believe me at the least, but… Maybe not.
‘Hmm… Very well. Now… While we await everyone to gather and for the search to be finished, what do you propose we do? You did say you might know what is going on here.’ He asked simply, his hands resting on the table rather stiffly. “Well… We might be in another world. I do not know how or why, but we might be. Think about it… All of our senses are as strong as if we were back home in our chairs outside of the gear and the NPCs are acting of their own accord according to their personalities to at least some degree.”
I did my best to explain, knowing that I was correct. I simply had to explain it to him as I did know all that would occur up to a certain point in time because of my time watching the anime and reading the manga… Granted, I knew less than I would if I had read the novel. “If I may… I would like to leave and explore further than the servants. If you will be fine here on your own. It might be beneficial to have someone exploring further who is capable of hiding themselves.” I crossed my arms over my chest while Momonga thought to himself.
After a moment, the lich gave a small nod of his head. ‘Very well… I will keep track of things here at Nazarick and message you when help is required or I need your input. For now… I want you back within a week.’ I replied with a simple “I’ll see if I can. The rings hopefully still work. You should check such a thing… Please, inform the guardians and everyone else that I will exploring. Try not to make them think that I am off by myself.” I grinned and climbed from my seat, wandering off toward the door with a small hum. “Oh and Momonga… Be careful around Albedo. The fact that you changed her settings may cause a few… issues.” He spazzed out a little bit, shaking his hands and head as if to deny such a thing. ‘I-I-I didn’t do that! How… How did you know? You weren’t in the room.” The Lich asked, suddenly getting rather serious as the green light that signified his emotions being calmed cam over him. ‘I simply saw you clicking away at a board as I walked in at the very end before this whole thing. I assumed, heh.’ I stated before quickly teleporting away to the entrance of the tomb with my guild ring.
Once I was at the entrance, I pulled a small talisman from my inventory, which was a small, black gate that opened up for me to pull things out of it seemed, and activated it to increase my speed, the paper vanishing away as a glow overcame my body. “That was close… Going to leave him to do whatever he wants. Meddy… Hold on.” I stated just as she made herself known and refused with my head, same side and with the same exact appearance. ‘How DARE you! I was stuck in that sleeve for I don’t know how long! Not even paying any mind to my discomfort!’
With a sharp huff, I started running as fast as my body would allow, with the magic, and in doing so I came to realize just how fast I was truly moving. To the outside observer, I appeared as if I was physically teleporting complete bounds at a time and that was only when I stopped to turn or the light caught me just enough to create an after image. Actually reacting to the various obstacles ahead of me was difficult at first, but eventually I was reacting accordingly and either jumping over them or side-stepping anything that came my way. It was… Honestly, it seemed as if I hit the point of being ridiculous, even for this universe to some extent, but that might be pushing it a hint. I thought about it for a moment and, if I sprinted, I might be able to hit the point of being unable to be followed by plenty of beings, but… I don’t want to push it and I may be thinking too highly of myself at this point.
I knew where I had to go, though… Sort of… I knew where by name, but not by location. I slowly came to a stop, stepping up next to a tree at the top of a hill and simply dropped down next to it. “Hmm… Medusa? Any ideas?” I asked, one of my hands reaching up to gently rub a portion of her scales to try and came her down as, for the moment, that eye was looking all over the place as if she was just frightened by something. “Oh right, you aren’t affected… Well, to put it bluntly, I got a very large power boost. I am trying to think of what I actually have in total. From the looks of it, the final title for my exact ‘build’ as it were was Kensai… A Sword Saint.” I muttered, trying to at least stay partially hidden as I took a small glance around the area.
‘Th-That… is way too fast. You tried to explain this whole jumping thing, but I didn’t realize how powerful you could become.’ She stated, that eye eventually easing up while I simply gave her a little tap. “You come from a world where someone can punch boulders into diamonds… I don’t want to hear it. Any ways… I know where I need to go and who I need to find. Hmm… Tell me if you see a city. I am going to check a few things.”
With that, I went about taking out what I could from my little inventory and set it all out in front of me before doing the same with my current equipment to try and get a feel for what I had prepared or even with me. Besides a few things from past jumps, namely my katana, PDA, and endless bottle of rum (Woo!), there were quite a few other items of note. A pile of talismans of various kinds, anything from paper, to wood, to metal… All of various types and make, a few of which even had strings attached to them (From memory, they were to be attached to the hilt of my sword), a set of clothing… not armor, but clothing (Outfit Link. Just add matching gloves and a hood.), a second set that looked like a simple set of leather armor that I remember was not enchanted, unlike the clothing, a tiny statue of a gryphon, gold, a pair of glasses, and a sword about the same length and width as my katana, but was double-edged, completely straight, without a cross guard (Why do none of the swords I have possess cross guards?), and had a loop at the bottom with a metal talisman hanging by a string from it.
At least it had a scabbard, which rested across my back instead of having to be carried. After putting away and reequipping everything, I climbed up to feet with a small sigh. “Well, hmm… According to my memory I am not classified as living at the moment. That’s a… bonus.” I reached up to rub the side of my head for a moment before taking a second to pull out that pair of glasses and slipping them on, mostly just because I could. With that, I took a small step forward… and, without warning Meddy, simply burst into a sprint once more.
It took me about an hour as, because of how fast I was moving (And Meddy was still getting used to the speed.), it became rather difficult to find my way around. When I finally did stop, I stopped a good thirty feet outside of a village by the tree line. I brought one hand up and messaged Momonga. “Good sir… We have company. Little village. Hmm… Shall I investigate?”
All I heard was a long hum, but eventually he did respond with a ‘No. You may be able to pass for human, not counting your teeth, but no… observe if you wish, but do not investigate. Also, Wirginia Szel… Zelez… Szlezcaka… Was Wirginia pronounced with a V or a W?’ I let out a small huff and, while even I couldn’t pronounce the last name, I at least knew how to respond. “With a V… It’s polish. Let’s not say their last name for now.” After that, Medusa glanced around, keeping an eye on the few lights that were flickering in the village. At least it was late at night. ‘Right… Wirginia was asking where you were during the meeting of the guardians. She may have choice words for you when you return. Namely why you shouldn’t go off on your own.’
“Aye. I will make sure to be mindful of such things. I shall observe for now at the least, but if they see me… I will investigate and interact with the populace in a non-harmful manner.” Once that was finished, I message Wirginia, telling her not to leave the tomb. I knew that she would listen, but it would be best to inform her of such things. To avoid any rebuttal, however, I did close the message before she could. The only reason, that I could figure out, that I was able to cast such a spell without a talisman was one of my four rings. It was a very basic spell, so it had no problem with being made into a fairly low level item.
After that moment, I simply took the time to climb a tree and get comfortable with my bottle of rum in hand so that I may properly observe the village. I sat there… For hours… Medusa even fell asleep while I waited… Eventually, morning came and people began to stir. I was incredibly bored, if one could imagine such a thing.
It took a few more hours of me just watching this village, occasionally moving from one spot to another around it to see what they were doing, only to sate my boredom as I already knew who they were after seeing a few specific villagers. Though, I eventually just got to the point that I wanted to be seen and, after almost an hour of putting myself into view and making sure to make some noise, someone finally approached me. To hide Meddy, I actually woke her up and put her away in my sleeves once again as he approached. A farmer… Bit older, rounder, and with a greying beard, and basic peasant clothes with a rough voice.
‘Boy, you need somethin’? You’re makin’ quite a bi’ of noise.’ He stated and before I could even think, I blurted out “Well, I simply wanted to see what all of you mongrels were doing… Honestly, I don’t see how you survive with how dull everything is.” I squinted for a moment, not to be rude, but at the sheer fact that I went from fairly friendly to Fate Gilgamesh… A friendly version, I think, but still.
‘Right… You’re one of them exiled nobles, aren’ you? I can tell by your teeth just by the fact that they could probably bite a horse’s head clean off. Don’ get anywhere near my family without me around, ya’ hear! I don’ wan’ ya’ biting them!... And get some sun.’ He yelled, my tongue moving to feel over my teeth for a moment. Oh right… vampire… While I didn’t mind the appearance, it seemed my teeth were now equal to a Hellsing vampire as far as shape and size were concerned. The new version, specifically, where all of their teeth are thick canines. I don’t know what fucking vampire had these teeth outside of a few worlds, but I didn’t question it. Considering, in this world, this form was made by me (Technically), I probably added it to seem more fearsome. The fact that he didn’t freak out at the least was kind of nice.
That wasn’t important, I simply closed my mouth and gave a sharp huff. “You have no need to be concerned with my appearance, after all…. You’re a simple farmer. Filing teeth is considered a sign of power!” And… Apparently I was a dick now. Hmm. I stepped past him and wandered off into town with a small sigh, one of my hands cupping so that Meddy had a place to curl up and rest, all of it hidden behind the cloth of said sleeve. “Well… Let’s see your shanty town, shall we? I would like to know more about the village that I already know plenty about…”
