Chapter 1: Transmigration

We all already know about Ainz and his history in the New World.

But what if, in addition to him, other players with their guilds was also transmigrated to the New World?

Would they ally against this unknown world?

Or would they fight for supremacy?

Our story starts here.

                             

Suzuki Naruki is a beautiful girl with black eyes and black hair, the daughter of the CEO of one of the most prominent companies in Japan. Due to a chronic illness, her body has always been extremely weak, and since childhood, she has always lived in the hospital.

 

For a long time, she lived bored in her room, as there was nothing interesting she could do from inside a hospital room.

 

Until the year 2126 AD.

 

In that year, when she was 14 years old, everything changed. A DMMO-RPG game called YGGDRASIL was released.

 

The game was so well received by the world, that even Suzuki, a girl who was not very interested in games, ended up getting curious, and from that curiosity, she researched about the game, and overnight, that curiosity ended up becoming a desire.

 

In Suzuki's heart, an immense desire to play the game YGGDRASIL welled up in her chest.

 

YGGDRASIL was a massive game, in which its main attractive points were its innovative degree of customization and the need that players have to create bonds and friendships with each other to advance in the game.

 

That was all Suzuki wanted, she always thought about being someone else, one with a healthy and strong body, and also always imagined what it would be like to have lots of friends since she couldn't make friends with anyone from inside a hospital room, and YGGDRASIL could provide all of that to her.

 

So, just a week after the game was released, Suzuki begged her father to buy her the game. Not thinking too much about it and being a father who loved to pamper his daughter, the next day in Suzuki's hospital room next to her bed, there was the latest generation gaming pod, which is used to play virtual reality games.

 

Of course, everything was done as per the approval of the hospital and doctors. If the capsule was in any way harmful to Suzuki, her father would never buy it.

 

Suzuki then, excited, quickly did her usual check-up, and entered the capsule.

 

Fortunately for her, YGGDRASIL was already installed in the machine, probably her father had ordered the capsule along with the game. However, it took a long time for her to be able to access the game, as she had never entered a gamer capsule, nor played an RPG game.

 

After finally being able to create an account and log into the game, Suziki was blown away by the game's splash screen, it was like another world.

 

On the opening screen, Suzuki found herself in the middle of a gigantic city, full of NPCs that looked extremely real.

 

Not wanting to waste too much time, Suzuki soon opened the initial customization selection menu, where she would choose her name, gender, race, starting class, and lastly her appearance.

 

She did all this with an open tutorial on WingTube about YGGDRASIL, as she knew very little about RPGs.

 

After hours of thinking about her initial customization, in addition to the obvious choice of gender, Suzuki finally decided on her race.

 

After reading about all the classes, the race that she most liked and got interested in was a race that, according to forums, was not a very used race.

 

The race that Suzuki chose was Automaton, a non-human race, which their bodies are exclusively machines. There was no reason to dislike the race, Suzuki just assumed it might be something like prejudice.

 

Suzuki chose the Automaton race for a very simple reason.

 

As one of their racial abilities, Automatons, being machines, could change parts of their bodies as they wished. For example, if the Automaton wants to get stronger without using equipment or weapons, he can create, or ask a blacksmith to create, a new and stronger body.

 

She would never admit it, but she hated being a sick, weak person who can't do anything. She would do anything if she could do with her body what Automatons can do.

 

After choosing her race, as she wanted a name to match her robot character, she named herself 'A-001 Eve'. A-001 as her serial number, and Eve would be her real name.

 

When Suzuki put that name she couldn't help but laugh at naming herself that way, but she thought it would fit.

 

As her first class, Suzuki chose the [Mechanical] class, which is an exclusive class to Automatons. The class was nothing special in the eyes of others, it just provided more means of attack and defense for Automatons as they had no methods of attack other than weapons attached to their bodies in the early game.

 

With this class, Suzuki could attach more than one weapon or additional pieces to her body without having to spend twice as much energy. For example, if Suzuki had another class, and attached a second weapon to her body, she would spend twice as much energy to be able to use it, but with the [Mechanical] class she could easily use two attached weapons or additional pieces and spend energy equivalent to using only one attached weapon.

(A / N: On this AU, Automatons use Energy from their core instead of mana.)

 

And lastly and most importantly according to the tutorial she was watching, she found herself in the appearance customization tab.

 

Suzuki swallowed hard when she saw the number of options that were in the customization, it would take hours just to read and understand what each one does.

 

Because of the number of options, Suzuki spent at least nine hours straight just creating her character's appearance, and when she was done, she smiled brightly when she saw the final product.

 

Her character had a small, slender body with long white hair and honey-yellow eyes, she also had a small, upturned nose and a small, slightly pink mouth.

 

Suzuki didn't want to make an extremely beautiful and complex character, as a fourteen-year-old girl, all she had in mind was to make a cute-looking character.

 

After saving her character, Suzuki finally entered the world of YGGDRASIL, and she got amazed at how the game felt like real life, but at the same time like fantasy.

 

This was Suzuki's first experience in YGGDRASIL.

 

The next day, and the day after, as Suzuki had nothing to do, she continually played YGGDRASIL. Aside from the parts of the day when she needs to eat, get checked up, or see her dad, she would play.

 

For the first week, Suzuki did nothing but explore YGGDRASIL's first map, as a kid new to VR games, just being there was fascinating to her.

 

In the second week, after getting used to the game and after seeing several tutorials from people who were already more advanced, Suzuki started her adventure.

 

Suzuki enjoyed herself as the happiest person in the world playing the game. Completing quests, killing monsters, and finding lost objects was a magical experience for her, it was like she was in a novel or a children's hero story.

 

However, there was still one thing missing, something that plagued Suzuki's heart.

 

She wanted friends.

 

Since she started playing, she's seen hundreds if not thousands of players but hasn't talked to one, as a girl who grew up without friends, Suzuki inevitably sucked at socializing. She barely knew how to start a conversation.

 

And then, in the third month of playing, she had her first and worst social experience in the game.

 

She didn't know it, as she didn't participate in forums or groups about the game, but the prejudice among players about non-human races grew like a rocket. Nobody knows what the cause was, but two factions formed within the game, the pro-humans, and the pro-non-humans.

 

The pro-humans were extremely prejudiced and if they saw a non-human player, attacking them and looting their items was just common sense among them.

 

While pro-non-humans just wanted to play in peace without caring about racial issues.

 

After the 'war' between the two factions began, the non-humans would never play or hunt alone so as not to fall victim to the pro-humans.

 

However, all this was unknown to Suzuki, who was a solo player and didn't pay much attention to the news, as her only focus was playing and having fun.

 

Then, on a certain day in the third month that Suzuki was playing, she was ambushed and attacked by pro-human players.

 

As a child who grew up protected, fighting them didn't even cross her mind, and neither did the thought that they wanted to hurt her.

 

So, seeing it as a chance to socialize, Suzuki tried to make conversation, but was immediately attacked and, without having time to react, her character died.

 

That day came as a huge shock to Suzuki as those players killed her in cold blood while they smirk as if she was just a pig to be slaughtered.

 

After that day, because she was scared, Suzuki stopped playing for a few days, and then went back to playing because of nostalgia and addiction.

 

But she promised herself that she would never try to talk to other people in the game and that she would always be ready to strike back.

 

The others may need friends to progress through the game, as some missions are hardly done solo, but Suzuki had one thing most players didn't.

 

She, or rather, her father was completely filthy rich.

 

So after she started to play again, Suzuki asked for weekly allowances from her dad, using the excuse of wanting to buy other games to play with her friends she met online.

 

Suzuki's weekly allowance was astronomical, and she used all the money on YGGDRASIL.

As the game was Pay to Win, she didn't need friends or help from other players to advance in the game, as she could easily buy better equipment and other products that would make her gameplay much easier.

 

This went on for years.

 

Suzuki, as she spent a lot, inevitably grew strong on the game, she was probably the strongest Automaton in terms of equipment and resources.

 

It was then that after four years of playing, she had her second social interaction.

 

YGGDRASIL was huge, and always updated, because of that, even after four years, she barely entered the End Game. But it was when she managed to get into the final stage of the game that was available at the time, that she was faced with two obstacles. One was possible to overcome, while the other seemed impossible in Suzuki's mind.

 

The first obstacle, in the End Game available at the time, as practically everyone had great equipment, what counted was the individual skill of each player, that is, their mastery of classes and their skills.

 

This wasn't necessary only in PVP, but also necessary in the new and most difficult dungeons and unexplored areas that were released.

 

Normally, she could do it all by herself because of her resources, but it was no longer possible only with resources. She needed to train her skills and combos, and learn all their names and effects, cooldowns, and many other things to be able to fight against the advanced pro-humans or to be able to explore the most difficult dungeons and areas.

 

The second obstacle was that there were materials and equipment that were impossible to get with just money. If she needed it, she should get it on her own as the materials were non-negotiable, and in most cases, she would need help.

 

For months, she trained her combat skills while leveling up, and it got to a point where she could be satisfied. But the second obstacle still seemed impossible.

 

It was then that she met a group of non-humans who were exploring ruins in the same region she was in, and were being attacked by several pro-humans.

 

Over the years, Suzuki has discovered why she had been attacked in the first year of the game, and after that, she has always kept an eye on the news, she knows that not all players are prejudiced scum and that pro-nonhumans are just as many victims as she is.

 

So for the first time, as if by fate, she decided to help those non-humans.

 

The party consisted of five members, a skeleton, an armored paladin, a purple slime, an orange slime, and a birdman.

 

They were strong, but they were surrounded by players of much higher levels, so Suzuki joined the fight, as of all of them, she was the strongest and highest level.

 

The fight quickly ended with Suzuki blasting all the pro-humans with her Pay-To-Win weapons, and the five grateful non-humans wanted to at least return the favor.

 

They were quite friendly, and the paladin was strangely sociable. Unable to say no to such friendly people, Suzuki just accepted and added them to her friend list.

 

From this fateful encounter, Suzuki would occasionally play with them, going into dungeons, exchanging materials, and information, and also making fun of each other.

 

For the first time in so many years of her life, Suzuki made friends, and they were great friends.

 

The only person she didn't get along with was the skeleton named Momonga. She didn't hate him, but it was difficult to talk to him since both she and he were antisocial.

 

Time passed, and in the eighth year of the game, the Guilds update was finally implemented.

 

Touch Me, along with Momonga, Peroronchino, and several other players, created a guild just for non-humans and even invited Suzuki.

 

But she refused.

 

After spending so much time alone and after going through certain traumas both in-game and in real life, Suzuki preferred to be alone most of the time, so she had plans of her own to create her guild, just for herself.

 

And this was the beginning of one of the strongest guilds in YGGDRASIL.

 

In the tenth year of YGGDRASIL, two guilds could easily be considered among the top 5. One of them was the Ainz Ooal Gown Guild, and the other was a guild called Alpha Prime.

 

Ainz Ooal Gown was for non-humans, and Alpha Prime as well, but there was a curious difference between the two non-human guilds. While the Ainz Ooal Gown guild was crowded with non-human players, the Alpha Prime guild had only one player.

 

That's because, after so many years of playing and becoming familiar with the game's system and her race and classes, Suzuki got a new class in the class system after meeting certain requirements, which made her, alone, rank as one of the strongest guilds.

 

As an Automaton, she could exchange parts of her body, and as she can do that, as a machine, couldn't she create other machines, even if they weren't players or NPCs?

 

What if she could create robots and they would be treated as consumables like Golems?

 

That's what the rare class [Deus Ex Machina] that she got allowed her to do, and not only that, it also made it possible to add runes to her mechanical body parts, even if it is quite limited.

 

It was possible to create magical weapons, such as magic machine guns or even magic cannons, but improving mechanical body parts with magic was another story.

 

The class wasn't a combat class but a production class, and it was an expensive rare class that normally ordinary people wouldn't be able to use properly since it takes a lot of resources to build a machine as a consumable.

 

But for Suzuki, who had enough money to support her next five reincarnations, it was the perfect class for her.

 

With this class and her unlimited resources, Suzuki created a colossal army of machines, and of course, she also created dozens of NPC's Automatons and NPC's of other races too, all with different classes and specialties.

 

It wasn't difficult to level and configure them, as she could easily dominate dungeons and raids alone with her armies, and as the robots were consumable, only the NPCs gained EXP.

 

Suzuki had become a legend among non-humans as the one-player army and the Goddess of the Machines.

 

But that didn't last long, as, in the twelfth year of the game, YGGDRASIL would close its servers because of a lack of players.

 

And it was on the server shutdown day that Suzuki's life changed completely for the second time.

 

At twenty-six, Suzuki was still living in the hospital, but she was strong enough to get out, even if she had to be accompanied. In the year 2138 AD, the official website of YGGDRASIL announced the closure of its servers and, with that, the end of the game.

 

This news shocked Suzuki, she knew it would happen eventually because of the decline in players, but even so, the news of the closing of the game she had played for twelve years and which provided so many memories for her, was about to end.

 

She didn't play the game and waited until the last day to log in, to say goodbye to everything she created, to say goodbye to her precious memories, and also to say goodbye to the unpleasant memories that served as teachings.

 

On her last day online, Suzuki opened the game and logged in.

 

She opened her eyes and found herself as her character, A-001 Eve, a slender girl with gray hair and yellow eyes. Her character, now at max level, wore a dark angel cybernetic-looking armor; different colors like a Rainbow flashing in some parts of her wings.

(Credits: @tanjel_)

She was sitting on her floating silver throne in a white room in the center of her guild, neon blue cables are attached to her back and head which are connected to a giant machine that was right behind her. Everything seemed to be sci-fi themed.

 

Unlike the atmosphere and fantasy design of other Guilds, Suzuki's guild, which looked like a gigantic floating citadel, had a futuristic and cybernetic design.

 

She wanted to see everything she did before the game was over, and luckily, she doesn't even have to leave her throne.

 

Everything in the citadel was connected to the center of the citadel, which is where the 'heart' of the citadel is, and she was the heart itself.

 

With a command, the cables that bound her body came free with a loud bang, and with a snap of her fingers, she, along with the throne, were teleported away.

 

She has visited every corner of her cybernetic citadel and she visited every NPC she lovingly created.

 

At the end of the day, replaying all the memories she made in the game, a tear slipped from her eyes in the real world. And with just one minute left for the server to close, she closed her eyes and, sitting in her chair in the center of her citadel, she had her last moment as A-001 Eve, or as players liked to call her, the Goddess of the Machines.

 

Or so it was meant to be.

 

Suzuki waited and waited, but nothing happened.

 

Strange, did they have a problem and the shutdown is late? - Suzuki thought in confusion.

 

She tried to open the menu, but to her surprise, she couldn't access the Menu anymore.

 

What is happening? - Suzuki moved her index finger up and down several times, trying to open the menu, but nothing happened.

 

"Question: What's going on?" She said in a monotone voice, which surprised her even more, as there was no way to speak within the game.

 

This... am I going crazy by any chance? Or am I dreaming? - Suzuki thought in disbelief.
