Chapter 4: Chapter 2: Downfall

"Finally finished!" Blue Planet exclaims as he gazes up at his hard work.

"Two whole months of blood, sweat, and tears," he comments with pride.

"And when I look at this awesome view I don't regret a single moment" He continues.

I agree, looking around the once dull grey room I can't help but be awed at his massive talent and effort. The room is now in the shape of a cylinder that climbs infinitely towards the night sky with glowing galaxies, planets, explosions, and stars of many colors colliding.

The walls are now made of shelves that go beyond what the eyes can see, each book glowing in its own color scheme from bright and pure white auras to ominous black auras.

Each area of the bookshelves had an intricate design, some had different monster skulls that give out the ominous glow from their eye-sockets, some had plushies that shone with innocence and joy, others had plants growing around with vivid colors that showed off their vitality, one of my favorites was the ritualistic area because it emitted small demonic circles that summoned small wisps of evil that illuminated the shelves with all kinds of dark colors while whispering sweet words of temptation.

Old fashioned lamps wandered around lighting up the room with a warm yellow light that was just the right brightness to look at and enjoy. They all had their styles, some were plants that floated while emitting little specks of light, some were glass orbs held in the mouth of a skull that released fist-sized clumps of light that released warm light, and there was even a little pink bear that dances around in the air while shining in all colors of a rainbow.

The ground was no longer cold and blank, it was made of soft grass that hugged your body gently like a mattress made of moss. Couches made of the softest material with a luxurious design were placed in a circle around the center where there was a large polished table.

Ten beautiful vampires with floral summer dresses stood politely while they awaited their orders with a gentle smile, hiding their obsessive thoughts behind it. And finally, a blue globe of water slowly and calmly rotated as a warm orange light glowed from the center, acting as a core to keep it together, above it was a single white sheet with a huge pillow placed on top of it.

I was laying on top of it while I gazed around at the little transparent fish and sea creatures, my favorites were the small yet majestic whales. A very stunning sight that would shock anyone who sees it. It was my little paradise, my domain, the area I will protect with my life if I have to. It was given to me by my loving dads and moms, as they pour their everything into it. My outward appearance showed a little sweet smile and if I could I would hug Lord Blue Planet while shedding my tears of joy, and it hurt me to not be able to even embrace the ones I love so much.

"Liliana, come here…" Blue Planet commands

I leave my comfortable giant pillow and stand in front of him with what I hope is a gaze filled with affection.

"Look up," He says

I look up at the beautiful library as it climbs into the sky and watch as two planets collide in the sky with a burst of colors. My emotions are in turmoil, I want to cry and hug him but I can't, all I can do is look at the view he worked so hard on for the past few months.

"I made this for you, this will probably be the last time I make something so amazing. I outdid myself didn't I?" He comments with pride

'Yes, thank you so much…' Liliana thinks to herself with frustration

"Work has been hard lately, my boss keeps cracking down on me to work overtime… I really hate my life. But this makes me glad that I can live, being able to make these beautiful areas. I'll take you down to see my other designs sometime..." He sighs with some sorrow in his voice.

"I wish I could speak to you, all of you actually, instead I get stuck in this accursed place we call real life. I hate it, I hate it so much, everything is just plain painful. Every time something goes right something worse happens. I can't even breathe right without having this fucking machine draining away my money whenever it breaks because the fucking companies make them limited use on purpose…" he says a little shakily

'...'

"Look at me," he says seriously

I look into his face, he sighs and sits down while looking me in the eyes silently.

"Thank you for giving me a reason to have fun, and for listening to my complaints about my shitty life. I doubt you're even able to comprehend me, but I just like to imagine that somewhere within those eyes of yours there's a little more than what we expect…" he whimpers out before disappearing from my sight.

'...'

From that day on, they started to gather at the library very frequently to socialize or to plan events. They would always bring back some books and command me to read them and place them on their appropriate shelves. Which I did, but it wasn't my body acting on its own, I figured out that I am capable of completing tasks in whatever way I wish. So I read every book and placed it in the most appropriate area myself. That's how I started to surprise them in ways they never expected.

>A normal day in Nazarick

I'm sitting at the front desk of the library while my secretary works on her paperwork, which has been the same paper for about a while. The reason I am currently active is that Peroronchino came to visit and brought a book he held like it was precious.

"Hehehe, I've managed to hide one in Shaltear's room, and it wouldn't be right to just exclude Liliana!" He exclaims while walking towards me.

"[Read and Archive], and there we go, hehe, hopefully, no one finds out. I'll get scolded." He said while handing me the book.

I took the book and thought about laying down on the table while reading it instead of just standing awkwardly, and my body actually took the exact position in my was flat on my stomach while waving my bare feet in the air.

"What the? I've never seen this animation before, it looks so... so... Cute! This is exactly what I wanted!" he exclaimed while taking pictures all around me.

"Well, this is going in the archives for sure." He comments before disappearing leaving me behind as I slowly drifted into slumber.

>Another normal day in Nazarick

"Are you sure you'll never come back?" Momonga asks

"Yeah... It's just not possible anymore, I have to work overtime for quite a while to pay back my debt" a small blue slime says with sadness in his voice as it slumped on the large table.

"I see... If it's your last day then we should do something special don't you think?" Momonga offers

"Yeah, let's go to the meeting area to do this though, I came here to leave all my books hehe," He says while looking at me.

"She is a very special NPC isn't she?" Momonga comments

"Who would've known that something we created could be so unique. The only NPC with special animations in the game..." The blue slime says with pride.

"[Read and Archive]" He says while placing a pile of books in front of me.

I jump around excitedly and approach the books with giddy ness and dive into the pile, popping out my head just enough to read the book in my hand while covered by the others.

"Ah! She's adorable! Thank god for this game!" The blue slime laughs.

Momonga chuckled before casting [Gate].

From that day this situation repeated itself several times, Blue Planet also came by one last time and paraded me around the tomb. Showing me every single floor and area he designed while monologuing about the process. By the end, he showed me his first artificial sky.

"I'm gonna miss this place," He says with a sigh as we gazed into the night sky he built.

"Well, before I leave I guess I'll give the last word." He says with a smile I can only hear.

'Maybe I can say what I want to as well! This my chance!' Liliana exclaims in her mind.

"[Speak]" he commands

"Thank you, my lord" Liliana says with a sweet voice while bowing respectfully.

I realized with this that even if I can sort of choose what to say it can only do it with in-game voice lines.

"I - Love - You," Liliana says with parts of different voice lines from the game.

He freezes while looking at me.

"Weirdly, I should find this creepy but instead I find it heartwarming. A very funny coincidence, but heartwarming nonetheless" he says

"[Return: Library]" he commands

I leave him and teleport to the library and fall into another slumber.

>Another day much much later

By now most of the guild is completely inactive with Momonga walking around while brooding, I know that because I experienced seeing them leave forever, they often toured the entire tomb one last time before going. Most of them did it secretly without telling anyone, but I knew, I have experienced this too many times to not know.

"Hey, I haven't visited this place in a while now… Things are getting very lonely now, nobody logs in anymore. We haven't heard from some close friends for a while too, I don't even want to think of what happened." Momonga chokes a little as he speaks.

"At first I was mad, but now I'm just lonely and depressed hahaha" he laughs in self-mockery.

"Thankfully I still have you and the others, I look like an idiot speaking to NPCs but I don't care, it's all I have left right now." he groans sadly.

'No! I can hear you, I love you! Please don't be sad…' Liliana screams in her mind.

"Creating you was fun, we all got together so many times just to get your lore right. Tabula was very territorial with it, I remember when Peroronchino tried to give you a ton of screwed-up fetishes HAHAHA! He got berated by his sister for about 30 minutes. I added your favorite food or drink? Anyway, I found it a really interesting idea to have you make your blood types. I also forgot to get you your items. We all did, you distracted us with your unique animations every time." he says with a voice of longing.

"Everyone made so many outfits for you, all of them emphasized your cuteness which is a given. Even one of them that was supposed to make you look scary made you look like a cute satanist... Didn't think I'd ever say those words in the same sentence." Momonga comments to himself.

"I also made you a sick military outfit, kinda like Pandora's Actor but smaller and cuter." He claimed.

"I have to go now, get some items ready in case they come back to play," he grumbles as he disappears leaving me alone again.

I pity his hopeful thoughts of them coming back and enter another deep slumber.
