His mother soon was into labor and the house was in utter chaos. "The baby is coming!" she shouted.The midwife then arrived and they were all in a panic. Soon all were prepared. A few hours and it was still loud inside the room."Elsa! Push! Push more and the baby will get out!" was what Ainz could hear from the outside of his mother's room. He was worried as it was taking so long.His father was the same, he was walking left and right as he was listening to the agonizing screams of his wife. "Hanz! How dare you let me suffer like this!" she screamed from the inside which made Hanz shudder.Ainz can only click his tongue as he shakes his head while looking at his father with disdain.He can only pity his mother but it was a normal thing that happens in giving birth. The mother was always going to have pains in delivering the baby while the husband was in an utterly tense state waiting for his baby to be born. The same with the older brother, Ainz will become an older brother from
After not minding the time, Ainz then went to cultivate. With two years of cultivating, he has made it to the Earth realm-9th stage. He was on the verge of breaking through. In his past time, he was cultivating while enjoying the rest of the day with his siblings. Focusing on his cultivation was his priority and it took a while for him to achieve the 9th stage of the Earth realm. For him, it was slow and not knowing his soul attribute at the moment was hindering him from having a fast cultivation speed. Having the right cultivation manual that was suited for your soul attribute was one thing to have faster cultivation speed. And he only used the default one for beginners at the moment. And so, he focused on breaking through but it was harder than he thought. He was already perspiring while cultivating. He needed to rest and breakthrough later on.His siblings then entered his room and he stopped cultivating. "Hey older brother, what are you doing?" Alisha asked while peeping on t
Ainz was in his room and the two siblings were in pushing-up positions."Older brother, why must we exercise? We should play!" Arthur was biting his lower lips. Alisha was also perspiring and has a pained look."You should train at your age!" Ainz shouted."But!" Alisha was about to cry."No buts!" Ainz shouted then spanked her on the butt with a slender stick.They went pushing up and then they went around the house in several laps. They were panting with all those exercises. Having the energy of youths, they had the energy but passed out after resting.They soon were given a snack by their mother Elsa. Having juice and bread with her. She was worried that Ainz was being too hard on his two siblings. She whispered at him to tone down his exercises as the two were having trouble coping. Ainz only nodded at her and then did a thumbs-up.Soon, Ainz taught them the basic cultivation method. They soon sat in the lotus position and then started cultivating. Ainz then instructed them on w
Ainz was in the middle of the forest and has many target dummies scattered all around. Also has target circular planks that were hung on the branches of trees. The wind was rushing and the leaves fell. Ainz then used his sword to slash them. Whoosh! Whoosh!The leaf was cut apart and Ainz clicked his tongue. A sour taste was in his mouth as he felt dissatisfied with his speed. He then stabbed the sword on the ground and cracked his neck throughout the other parts of his joints. Having the energy to exert for his exercise was making him hasty on what he would do next. "There is still time for the entrance exam. I need to be prepared. Though I think I needed to rest too when the time comes. Oh well, I'll just let fate will decide," he then cracked his fist then stood up straight.He bent his knees and then punched the air. Kicking and rotating then a sidekick. His attacks were able to release a sound and it was satisfying to hear. He then attacked the target dummy and gritted his t
Ainz was already prepared for his leave and his siblings were already missing him. Arthur was crying and Alisha was about to cry too. "Be a good boy and good girl okay?" Ainz patted their heads.They felt their hearts crushing at the moment. Even his mother was about to miss him. Elsa was just wiping her tear and Hanz was just silent. He just smiled and then patted him on his shoulders."Go on son, you might miss the exam. We will survive. I will take care of the forge for now. You trained me for this day, right? Hehe," he just smacked his biceps and then grinned."Haha, yep. I will be going now. Bye everyone!" he turned around and then walked without even turning around. He would be missing the two the most but first things first, he needed to enter the academy. He traveled towards the Avernium academy. The Academy housed many competent teachers. He guessed that there were many Legend ranks in the Academy. Though the Mythical rank can only be counted by a few fingers till now. And
They entered the room and there, they saw tables for testing the cultivation potential. The instructors were there in the room. There were three of them sitting on the far side. One was an old man, and the other two were in their thirties. One male was still in his prime and the other one was a woman. Covering her face with a red fan. Being in revealing robes that made her shoulders have their silky white color was being shown."Oh, these are the potential students? They are fewer now than last year's," spoke the female instructor."Yes indeed, they are fewer. We should recruit more," said the other instructor."What is your plan, dear principal?" asked the female instructor."We can't lower our standards just to have more students. They should have at least the guts to climb a thousand steps. More than that is not acceptable to our standards," he said then folded his arms."Hmm hmm, I also agree. They should have resolute bodies and minds," the male instructor said then closed his ey
He saw training dummies outside the vacant lot with a broomstick to clean the yard. It has an apple tree outside with it still bearing fruits. Making Ainz pick and bite one in the process.Entering the vacant dorm, he was solitary and whispers of the wind blew as he pushed aside the sliding door. The dorm was dark and dust could be smelled from where he stood. The candle was immediately lit with a match stick and then Ainz scanned the surroundings. He has a bed fit for only one person and still has a curtain to cover things up. A simple drawer on the side and a study table paired with a chair. Still, have a quill and ink settled on its top.He has a bathroom and a kitchen. Simple cooking utensils were already available and they would suffice for now. The room was now lit and he could see the webs from the ceiling. Spiders were already catching insects from their webs. The walls were sturdy even though it has been ages since Ainz thought of its lifespan. The windows were still feasi
"I'm late! I'm late!" Ainz then hastily ran and met with the other two. The three were already waiting for him and Ella was fuming with anger. Her hands were folded and she was tapping her feet on the ground erratically. "Why are you late? Huh? This is the first day of being a disciple and you are already showing your incompetence," she then snubbed him and with a, "hmmm!""Hey thrash! How dare you make the master wait! Imma beat that hell out of you!" Kent was about to kick him but his master spoke."Hahaha, just let it slide for now. Let us hurry up and be on our way," Eilon said then turned around.Still after it, Kent smacked Ainz's head and then Ainz rubbed it after a bump was made."I'm sorry, I'm sorry," Ainz bowed slightly after he was smacked.Ella was still not contented and she kicked Ainz's feet then went on her way. The three then proceeded towards the school grounds. They passed several places like a hot spring and it was in the forest in a separate path. Ainz was pl
The morning was breezy and the cold winds assaulted the village. Battering against the roofs and windows of the houses as the villagers huddled inside. The citizens shivers as fall was coming. Making them prepare for winter for now.Others have prepared already and stocked dry woods and food. Others were warmed inside their houses and were settled while sipping soup.Ainz was not excempted from the cold winds but the training must proceed no matter what. For Ainz, time was gold. It would be a waste if he would just huddle inside his cozy room for now. Also, he was in dire straights if he would just waste time. Minding that enemies would attack anytime soon. And so, he thought that he needed to get stronger as soon as possible. Learning all he needed to know in primordial techniques that he needed to know. As far as his progress was, he was still halfway there. More techniques await!Ainz was in the training field as well as Marvin. He was tasked to train Ainz this time. With the ot
Ainz's training in Voyaging was indeed a fruitful one. The Primordials were already excited for their turn. Well, their turn would come sooner than later. It would be set in fate, time is only the one to pass.It was afternoon and the sun was about to set. The training ground was a mess with all those duels with Ragnar. Learning basic combat from him was just easy. As Ainz was already a martial arts grandmaster. He was able to defeat Ragnar several times already using the Voyaging skills and fighting style. As for Ainz, his fighting style was honed throughout the years. And it was mixing up now. A bit of a bad habit that Ainz has gained. He was confused as to what he would use. The fencing style was new for him and he still has to learn such style. It was more of a deflect and thrust style. A bit different from a swordsman's way of fighting. Nevertheless, it was still a good style. Ainz rested for a while but the time was of the essence. He immediately told Ragnar to continue their
Ragnar was on his high horse to teach his Lord. Making him try his best to impart his knowledge and skills. In the training field, Ainz was first taught the skill types and then their use. He was first briefed about his training this week and it would take time to learn them all.In the past when he was still young, even before the primordial wars where Gods, Demons, and, Humans were still battling, he has not trained in the arts of Primordial techniques. Making him a newbie to all of it.They were very secretive and he can only train in martial arts for the war and did not have skills. Reaching the blurred realm of martial arts made him kill several Gods and Demons. That was the trump card of humanity as well as the Primordial technique. Making the humans weak but having the greatest potential. Given the time to grow, they could move mountains. Though the end of the war was a stalemate. After all, the parties suffered great casualties, but they all stopped the war. The Demon gods s
Ainz was in his war room and he was surrounded by the 8 primordials. They looked menacing, all confident, and eager to teach. Apt to do and able to. They all were ready and Ainz was concerned and they were overzealous to teach him. Eyes were sparkling with a burning passion. He was like a cornered rat from a cat. Being taught by them was what was his dream. Now the problem was if they would overdo it. He would be having trouble catching up.He needed to be prepared. Especially his mind and heart. It would soon start and he would be training in their arts. All would be in the right place and at the right time. He would be having a rigorous week ahead. His rest would be short-lived and his peaceful days would have to end shortly. They were ready to let the class begin. As far as Ainz was concerned, they would teach him their techniques and it would be tasking on their part."We will teach you the basics. The Primordial technique was divided into 8 groups of clans that merged. Having
"What? Longevity? How?" They all chorused."I will teach you how first," Ainz winked his left eye. "Follow me then," he said.They all followed him and they went inside his room. "Find a comfortable spot to sit and then we will start," Ainz commanded them.They heeded his advice and then sat on the floor. Others were on his bed. "Okay, then we will start," Ainz then started his instructions, "First was to sense the specks of mana in the body. Next was to absorb it towards your mana core. Slowly, you will absorb the mana in the air. After that, you will expel impurities from your body with every rank up. Easy right?" They soon look at each other and then start to get it. They soon started to cultivate and then they all were fast in their progress. Having years of battle experience made them fast to adapt. Although they were a little late compared to those of the outside world. They soon made a breakthrough and they sweated impurities. Making them reach Earth realm stage 2."Continu
Ainz went outside the Lord's Hall and walked towards the three areas where the edges of the village were. He watched and observed while picturing out the imaginary pillars that he would construct.As for the pillars, they were the Demon-killing arrays or the Murim, Elemental, and Integrator arrays. The next ones were the Demon-stopping barriers or the Demon weakening barrier, Monster repelling barrier, and Shield barrier. "This is a good place to put them," he made a square out of his fingers while watching its hole as he looked from afar. He needed to put a contingency plan when it comes to protecting the village. He doesn't know how strong the enemies were. As for these barriers and arrays, it could only protect them from Legend rank enemies and below. As for mythical to god-rank demons, it would not be as much effective. They needed to at least on themselves or from the Gods that ascended. Well, they were all his past comrades and maybe could help in direst times. As for his prow
Ainz together with his men escorted the visitors toward their village. These men felt domineering and would be seen as strong ones even just at a glance. His men were always looking at them for a moment and couldn't help but be amazed at their looks.The tribes sure have their battle attire and make them look different from each other. As they marched towards the roads, the tribes were having a chit-chat with each other along the road."Eon, can we trust these people?" Leon asked."Maybe, they are the only humans we could ask for help," he replied then coughed."Can we liberate them?" Pain asked, Eon jolted and then replied, "Of course not! Have you seen their patrol groups? They are already that strong!" he then lowered his voice."We should think of them as allies that could fight the common enemy," Eon then patted their backs.They soon arrived at the village and saw a concealing barrier erected. Ainz then opened it and they entered. They were shocked that they already have advance
Ainz tested the 700 new villagers and they all were assigned to their martial paths and became cultivators. He was in his new Lord's Hall and was in his room. He was sipping coffee that they freshly brewed and was watching the new census of the village population. Frederick entered giving him freshly baked bread. He has a younger look and his wrinkles have disappeared. Ainz thought that it was due to his cultivation that his impurities have washed out from his body. "Sir, your bread," he closed the door and then paved towards Ainz. He had assumed the position of doing the task of being Ainz's butler. "Thanks, Frederick. How's the realm?" Ainz asked."The scouts reported that there was a disturbance in the forest. Seems trouble was approaching," he was looking at Ainz with a more serious look. "I see, let us investigate more," Ainz felt curious and so, he investigated himself. Together with the scouts, they traveled in the forest and scouted while encompassing the realm. The forest
The scouts saw the upcoming army and the villagers saw them up in the hills. The wind was whooshing as they saw them. Having the weather in a chilly and shady atmosphere. The flags fluttered as the demons carried them. Making them seen as having protruding poles in their vast formations. The drums beat again as they started to march. Other demons were in the skies and they flocked toward them. The General was on the skies, armored with golden full-plated armor. Watching the vast village that he could liberate. He was thinking of making them punished for their insolence and they should not return to them as slaves once more. Their deaths would pay the price of angering them. "Kill them!" the general shouted.They soon attacked from the air and the land. Both forces were in a thousand. Thinking of their numbers, it would be a tough fight. Ainz then saw them and the cultivators were only numbered 300 plus. It would be a total disadvantage if they would only rely on their numbers.But
