Overlord: Multiverse

Chapter 11: Yggdrasil IX

It had taken me four months of nonstop grinding to regain my levels. My status looked like this.

...

My Physical Attack and Agility states were high because of the Demon Emperor's Racial Class. At each level, it provided a permanent buff to these states.

It had been one and a half years since I started playing Yggdrasil. And I only completed two variants.

'I have to pick up the pace.'

I had many Builds in mind. But for my next Build, I chose a production-oriented one. If I had a production-oriented build, I could make items, potions, etc.

With the type of Build decided, I started thinking about its race. There were many racial classes I could choose for this type of Build, but eventually, I decided to play as a Dwarf.

I made this choice because it offered bonuses to production-focused job classes.

But there was a catch; Dwarves were excellent Blacksmiths, Armorsmiths, and Weaponsmiths. They offered bonuses for the job classes focused only on blacksmithing, armorsmithing, and weaponsmithing.

But there were other production-focused job classes like; Alchemist, Potioners, Enchanters, etc.

'I might have to make more Builds for them.'

But I still decided to play as a Dwarve for the next Build.

???: "Momonga-san, are you free right now?"

I was currently in my chambers. I turned around to see a crab-like monstrosity standing by the entrance. His name was Amanomahitotsu, a fellow clan member.

He had a crab-like appearance, similar to a fiddler crab. He had four orange-yellow colored hands, one of which was a giant crab claw, also wearing goggles and smithing attire.

Momonga: "Yeah, I am free."

Amanomahitotsu: "Thank god, I need your help with something."

Momonga: "What is it?"

Amanomahitotsu: "You see, I need an ore for an item I am working on. And it only spawns in the dungeons of Niavellir. Most of the clan members are preparing for a raid. Will you be willing to accompany us?"

Niavellir was one of the realms where many players of the humanoid and demi-human races mainly resided. By entering Niavellir, heteromorphic players had disadvantages placed on them when faced with non-heteromorphic players.

'I do need the corpses of Dwarfs to create a new variant. And I might be able to find materials to level up the new variant.'

Unlike combat-oriented classes that level up through fighting and killing monsters, production-oriented classes advance by producing various things.

Momonga: "Yeah, let's go."

I left my chambers alongside Amanomahitotsu and walked toward the main hall; inside, I found Touch Me, Nishikienrai, Flatfoot, Ancient One, and Warrior Takemikazuchi.

During my time in the clan, all the original members of Nine's Own Goal had joined it.

Momonga: "Hey, guys."

After discussing the intricacies of the raid, we all left the clan's base and headed toward Niavellir.

~Scene Change~

Inside a hall, the members of the Red Bears were conversing about their raid.

Ivan: "Now, with that decided. I have a question for all of you."

Everyone turned their heads toward him.

Mikhail: "What is it?"

Ivan: "Have you guys found any information about 'him?'"

Here by 'him,' he meant Momonga.

Mikhail: "It has been five months already. Maybe we should forget about him and focus on strengthening our clan."

Maxim: "I agree with him."

Vladik: "Shut your mouth, Mikey. You didn't lose something you worked for months, but I DID! And I am going to make him pay for it!"

Maxim: "I understand your anger, Vlad. But even if you find him, what can you do? Last time, he killed you without an effort."

Vladik: "This time, it will be different. I have new powerful spells; he wouldn't even stand a chance against me."

Like this, their bickering continued for a few minutes.

Ivan: "Silence!"

As he spoke, everyone in the hall quieted down.

Ivan: "Vlad, Maxim, you two will go to Niavellir with the blacksmiths. The rest of us will go to Asgard. And if you find 'him' there, contact me immediately. Understood?"

Everyone in the hall nodded and left. Their decisions that day would shape their future; for the better or the worse.

~Scene Change~

~Momonga's POV~

I kept traveling with my clan members for a few hours before we reached Niavellir.

As I ventured into Niavellir, I could see glistening subterranean cities intricately wove through the expanse of vast crystal caverns, creating a breathtaking tapestry of beauty and wonder.

I had already told my clan members about my plan to kill Dwarves to get their corpses. In Yggdrasil, there were many types of Dwarves; Mountain Dwarves, Dark Dwarves, Flesh Dwarves, Hollow Dwarves, etc.

Certain types of Dwarves were deemed Monsters, and players could kill them for EXP. I planned to kill these types of Dwarves for their corpses.

Fortunately, the first dungeon we needed to raid had a type of Monster Dwarves. Its name was 'Abyssal Smidesrum,'

We kept venturing deep into the realm of Niavellir. After half an hour, we reached the entrance of the dungeon.

It was a big hole in the cave's wall, cracks spreading around it.

Touch: "Here we are. Complete your preparations; we'll be entering it in 5 minutes."

I switched to my Doppelganger variant. I equipped the armor Amanomahitotsu created for me.

This armor set had a pointed helm with half a squared face guard, two squared openings for the eyes, and a breastplate made from several layers of metal sheets, which perfectly sit just under the shoulder plates. It covers everything from the neck down and ends at the groin. Red veins traveled along it.

The whole armor was colored black, giving it a mean look.

[Physical Defense: 85 -> 100]

It was a Legendary-Class armor set.

Amanomahitotsu: "Momonga-san, how are you liking the new armor."

I looked toward him and sent a smiling emoji because, in Yggdrasil, players couldn't portray emotions.

So, they communicated with emojis to show their emotions.

Momona: "I like it, thanks."

Amanomahitotsu: "I'm glad you like it."

After a few minutes, everyone was ready for the raid.

Touch: "Let's go."

We entered the hole in the cave's wall.

Inside was pitch dark.

Ancient: "*Trplet Magic: Continual Light*"

Ancient One was the mage of the party. The spell used was a 2nd-tier spell that summoned a magic light.

Three small light sources manifested around us. We continued our journey deeper into the dungeon.

After only a few minutes of traveling, we encountered our first enemies. Dreadforge Dwarves were a type of Dwarves that had weathered and scarred skin, like stone chiseled by the elements.

Their beards were often braided with twisted runes. Intricate tattoos cover their arms, depicting ancient symbols of power.

These Dwarves are slightly bulkier and more muscular than their counterparts, a testament to their prowess in battle. And just like all Dwarves, they had a short stature.

They carried different kinds of weapons. The strange thing about them was; there were runes inscribed on them.

Without wasting time, I approached the small horde of Dwarves and used 'Quake Strike' to kill them in one blow.

[Congratulations on Defeating 10 level 50 Dreadforge Dwarf

! You have received 0 EXP]

[Congratulations on Defeating 9 level 55 Dreadforge Dwarf

! You have received 0 EXP]

[The effect of 'Advancement Amulet' has been applied. 0 EXP -> 0 EXP.]

I kept attacking them, and they kept falling like flies. Due to the difference in levels and my passive 'High Tier Physical Immunity V,' that nullifies all attacks below level 75. After picking up the corpses, we kept traveling.

During our journey to the Boos Room, we encountered many enemies like; different types of Dwarves, Golems, etc. After about two hours, we finally reached the Boss Room. The fight with the boss wasn't remarkable.

During the raid, I gathered many valuable resources to make items with. As for the corpses needed for the new variant, I collected 250 of them.

After conquering the dungeon, we decided to go to the dungeons we had to raid.

~Scene Change~

We kept traveling and conquering different dungeons for a few more hours. Because in the real world, tomorrow was Sunday, and everyone was playing for longer than usual.

Touch: "The last dungeon is coming up. Be prepared."

I had collected all the corpses I needed as well as a lot of valuable materials for crafting. As we neared the dungeon, we saw some other players fighting before the dungeon's entrance.

A goat-like player, standing on two legs, fired spell after spell toward a party of human players. There were 4 human players.

Touch: "At this rate, he will be killed."

Momonga: "Let's go and help our fellow player."

Touch nodded, and we ran toward the fight scene, followed by Warrior Takemikazuchi and Nishikienrai.

Without warning, Takemikazuchi attacked one of the human players while Nishikienrai attacked the other. Both of the human players weren't fighting.

Touch and I attacked the remaining human players. I punched the player with a bald head with my skill, 'Iron Fist.' As the player staggered back and looked toward me, he suddenly shouted.

???: "YOOOUUU! GIVE ME MY WAND BACK!"

Without wasting time, he attacked me *Trplet Magic: Reality Slash*. I used "Combat Precognition" and dodged the spell due to my high agility.

Without a care in the world, the human player kept attacking me with different spells of the 10th-tier.

And despite using "Combat Precognition," I got hit sometimes. I quickly dodged another spell and jumped back to create distance between us. Touch and the rest had already killed the other players.

???: "YOU'LL PAY FOR MY WAND AND BELITTLING ME!"

He kept attacking me with more spells.

Touch: "You should finish the fight soon, Momonga-san."

I nodded and used "Shadow Step" and "Iron Fist" to kill the player in a single combo.

[You have killed a player of the Human race. You received 0 EXP.]

[The effect of 'Advancement Amulet' has been applied. 0 EXP -> 0 EXP.]

[Your location will be broadcasted to all the nearby players for half an hour.]

[You received the "Wand of Vengence."]

'Maybe, he is someone I killed in the past.'

We turned toward the goal-like player. On closer inspection, the player was a humanoid gray goat; crowned with two wickedly curved golden horns.

Momonga: "Hello, my name is Momonga."

Ulbert: "My name is Ulbert Alain Odle, the demon goat of destruction."

Ulbert took a proud stance.

Momonga: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then I am Momonga, the strongest fighter with a face resembling an egg."

I also took a proud stance.

Ulbert: "Hahahaha! That's nothing to be proud of."

Takemikazuchi: "It seems you have found your fellow chuunibyou, Momonga-san."

Momonga: "It does seem like it."

Ulbert decided to join the Nine's Own Goal after our conversation, and as a team, we planned to raid the final dungeon.

~Scene Change~

After raiding the dungeons, we went back to the clan's headquarters. Ulbert also came back with us.

After reaching the HQ, I went to my chambers and prepared for the ritual.

I deposited the corpses and Data Crystal in a circular pattern and positioned myself in the middle.

"Altering Invocation!"

A magical circle appeared beneath me, extending to cover the entire room. A few seconds later, I received a notification.

[The skill 'Altering Invocation' has been used, and all the necessary conditions have been fulfilled.]

[Congragulations for unlocking a new variant.]

[Race: Doppelganger(1 Variant) -> Doppelganger(2 Variant)]

For this variant, I chose to play as a Mountain Dwarf. My new appearance was that of a short man with a long black beard, hair, and eyes. My arms had bulking muscles.

My status looked like this.
