Without their horses now, I and Blue Rose walked through the city till they reached the adventurers guild. We went inside but we found something strange. There were no adventurers in the guild but soldiers of the kingdom that were talking with the guildmaster. The soldiers saw me and Blue Rose that had entered and they approached them. One of the soldiers stepped forward and spoke.
"Are you Mark the Black?" asked the soldier in a firm tone.
"Yes, I am Mark, what do you want?" I asked with a serious tone.
I didn't want to let this little soldier act like he was the boss here.
"His majesty demands for you to come with us to the royal palace" declared the soldier.
"For what?" I asked again.
"I-I'm just a mere messenger, the king wants to talk with you now, please come with us."
Somehow I was starting to understand why the king wanted to talk with me. It might be because of that fat bastard. Lakyus told him that it would anger the king, that's what I thought.
"Well whatever"
"All Right I'll come."
The guildmaster and Blue Rose were just watching and hope that Mark is not in trouble.
I followed the soldiers to the Ro Lente Castle, I saw around the large halls and it looked quite impressive. There were big windows covered with beautiful curtains and the floor was covered with shining decorative tiles. In many places, I could see aesthetic statues but It was nowhere near The Great Tomb of Nazarick that I built with my hard earned plagiarism money.
'I miss it…I just couldn't see all the time, money, and hard work I put in to pay off.'
They now reached a great decorated door, to I it looked like it was the throne room and the door was opened by two knights. There were so many people inside that I could describe them as clowns. There were many nobles and royals inside the throne room that were looking at me with disgusted and cold eyes. King Ramposa III was sitting on his throne. On the right side were the crown prince Barbo, the second prince Zanac and the third little princess Renner. On his left side was the Warrior Captain Gazef Stronoff.
"The adamantite adventurer Mark the Black has arrived!" declared the knight.
I came inside and saw around the ugly faces of the nobles. One of them was really angry, like he wanted to explode. I didn't bow or remove my helmet, that was something that angered the nobles and the royals.
"Welcome sir Mark" greeted the king.
"Thank you for the hospitality, your majesty." returned it to it.
To everyone, the voice of Mark sounded like the voice of a high noble. Nobody knows who he is, he just showed up in the capital and became an adventurer. Who knows, he might be the son of an unknown noble.
"Kneel before the king you commoner!" shouted Marquis Boullope.
Ainz looked at him. "And If I don't, what will you do?" I asked in a cold tone.
Marquis Boullope and everyone froze in place, Ramposa III was also surprised but he did not want the nobles to see him like that. Ranner was just smiling, prince Zanac was amazed and the crown prince Barbo wanted to rise from his chair to shout at the dark warrior.
"How dare you speak like that to a noble of the kingdom, you commoner." shouted the crown prince.
The nobles were all following Barbo, for them, talking to a noble like that was a great sin. All the nobles respected the crown prince because it will benefit them when he becomes the king of Re Estize. Marquis Raeven felt something strange about the dark warrior, he thought that it would be better if they didn't anger him.
"Your Majesty, may I know what you want from me?" I asked, completely ignoring the crown prince.
This has never happened before, the crown prince wanted to execute the dark warrior for disrespecting him and the noble. He was ready to shout again at the warrior but…
"Barbo, that's enough," said the king.
The prince turned his head quickly at his father. "But-but father he…"
"I said, that's enough!" the king demanded while hitting his staff on the floor.
The throne room now was silent and the king turned his eyes looking at the dark warrior.
"In the village of Sutton, the son of Marquis Iblue and his subordinates that were collecting the taxes, were beaten almost to death by an adventurer in dark armor with a red cape and two swords on his back. Was it you who did this, sir Mark?" asked the king.
'As I expected…' 'For Nobles news really flies fast'
"Yes, It was me." I replied.
I felt that everyone was angry in the room. Another man wanted to run at me but it was stopped by the other nobles. It seems he was a relative of that fat pig.
"Injuring a noble or one of the royal blood, is considered a high crime in this kingdom sir Mark." said the king with a serious tone.
"Did they inform you, what that man was doing in that village?" I asked.
"No."
"Then you should ask them your majesty."
At that moment Marquis Iblue shouted with rage. "YOU DARE AND BEAT MY SON, DISRESPECT US AND DARE TO ASK THE KING! WHO THE HELL, DO YOU THINK YOU ARE!? WE WILL EXECUTE YOU, YOU FILTHY PEASANT!
The man screamed and screamed at me like a wild dog and the other nobles were shouting and cursing too.
'Ah, now I want to nuke this place.'
"SILENCE!" The king hit the floor with his staff.
"Sir Mark, tell me, what was the son of Marquis Iblue doing in that village?
"He was trying to rape a girl and her sister on older than 7 years because she didn't have money to pay the taxes." I said.
The noble's eyes went wide from what they heard.
He beat the son of Marquis Iblue just because of that?
The peasants live to serve the king and the nobles.
This was the way of this kingdom. The commoners were the toys of the nobles and they could do what they wanted with them. They demand more money, take all their crops, and send them to war against the empire, not caring about the harsh life of the commoners and they repeat this every year. For Ainz, this kingdom was on some really big shit.
"Is that so… Then, the son of Marquis Iblue will be punished when he recovers. As for you sir Mark…"
Ramposa saw all the nobles, they were waiting for the king to give the order to execute the dark warrior, but the adventurer has saved many lives.
"For the crime that you have committed, your punishment will be the execution with death…"
The nobles were all smiling, they really wanted to see this man without his head.
"But…" suddenly their face changes in a daze. "Sir Mark saved the capital from a dangerous monster and the citizens call him a hero. So, I, King Ramposa III, banish you from the Kingdom of Re Estize! If you don't accept this, we will have to use force." spoke the king with a firm tone.
The nobles were unhappy about this, but they understood that, if they executed him, it might anger the citizens and the adventurers. They needed the adventurers because there exist powerful monsters around the kingdom and the adventurers were the only ones who knew how to slay them.
"Is that so… Sorry that I saved an innocent girls from that FAT PIG." I said, while turning my head at Marquis Iblue eyes that were filled with rage.
"Oh well, I will leave now, goodbye everyone, have a nice day."
I turned and didn't wait for the knights to open the door, so I opened the door himself, leaving all the nobles and the royals dumbfounded.
***
After Mark left, all the people in the throne room were cursing the name of the dark warrior.
'This is sad, master Mark was a great warrior trying to protect the weak, and his majesty had to banish him from the kingdom because of the nobles...Haaah, I hope, master Mark is not a man who seeks revenge. It will be really bad if he becomes a subordinate of that Emperor.' thought Gazef while listening to the nobles cursing the dark warrior.
***
"Well the world remains as stupid as ever."
I was leaving the royal castle while thinking about what I should do now. I was really angry at those clowns in the throne room. I would have done the same thing I did at Carne village but I didn't want to draw too much attention. I have spread my name as a good hero, it will be bad news if I showed the world my true form.
While I was walking through the city and heading to the gates, I encountered the girls of Blue Rose. They seemed worried, the short masked girl approached him fast.
"Ma-Mark, what happened? What did the king want with you?" concerned, Evileye keeps asking the dark warrior.
"Well, Lakyus was right. What I did in that village angered the king so he banished me from the kingdom. Funny isn't it!?" I said.
All the girls were shocked by this.
"No...No way...That stupid old fool. I will go there and teach him a…"
I my hand on Evileye's shoulder and she froze on the spot.
"There is no need for that Evileye."
"Bu-But Mark…"
"It's okay, I wasn't planning to stay here forever."
"Is-Is that so…" Evileye lowered her head in sadness.
"Well girls, It was great adventuring with you."
"Thank you for everything Mark, you have been a great help and inspiration for us and other adventurers." said Lakyus while bowing her head.
"Think nothing of it. Now... farewell." I said
"Mark, will you one day come back?" asked Evileye.
"...Perhaps." I replied.
The dark warrior turned and left the girls until he vanished. Evileye clenched her fists while watching the last image of the warrior that saved her life. She cursed the king and the nobles for banishing this great man. She will never meet a man like Mark again. A man that moved her heart and made her feel like a human again.
"I will be waiting for you...lord Mark."

It was night and the moon was full that was shining upon the Great Forest of Tob. Near the forest, a skeleton was walking. Naturally, there were bones below. A dark red orb floated under his ribs, emanating a feeling of dread. He was just wearing pants and boots, on his right skeletal hand, he was holding a black sword.
This skeleton was me, the wind blew between my bones. While walking, I stopped and the reason why was because a thick tree was in front of me. I saw the large tree and the red points inside my skull glow like fire.
"BEGONE!"
With a slash, I cut the tree with my black sword. The thick tree flew 10 meters away. If any mortal would have seen this, they would have been shocked. Even for a dragon it would not have been easy to do something like that, yet I did it like it was nothing.
I sat on the tree trunk, I stuck my black sword to the ground and turned my skull to the full moon that was giving light to my clean white bones.
"Man, what the hell should I do?"
"Following scripts wasn't something I was a fan of."
Ever since I left the capital, this question was stuck in his mind. I wanted to slaughter all those nobles that insulted me...ME, the World Class Enemy that can send the entire kingdom into oblivion with a blink of an eye. But was it worth doing that?
So what should he do now?
Travel to the Empire? That nation must be like the Kingdom, that's what I thought.
I was lost deep in thoughts. There were some other alternatives but I didn't prefer those.
"So what should I do, hmm?"
I was thinking and thinking and suddenly the words of a friend showed up in my mind.
"Let's conquer one of the nine worlds."
"Huh?"
I remembered the words of the Demon of Great Disaster, Ulbert Alain Odle.
After the Holy Alliance failed to conquer The Great Tomb of Nazarick, Ainz Ooal Gown prepared for revenge. They gathered all their allies that belonged to the heteromorphic race. Guilds that belonged to the undead race, demonic race, dragonid race and other monstrosities, all answered Ainz Ooal Gown call. They all gathered inside a large cave in Helheim and discussed about the destruction of the Holy Alliance. The members of Ainz Ooal Gown asked about forming a grand alliance against the strongest guilds like Seraphim or Trinity and put an end to the discrimination. They all accepted this without question because this war will bring great spoils.
Touch Me suggested calling this union the Justice Alliance but to everyone that sounded kind of cringe even to Momonga. They were the villains, so they must have an evil title. The demon of catastrophe, Ulbert Alain Odle suggested calling this alliance The Heteromorphic Empire. This puts a smile on everyone's faces, that name sounded cool and evil, perfectly for villains, everyone accepted this but the Empire will need an Emperor so the members of Ainz Ooal Gown suggested Momonga to become the Emperor of the Heteromorphic Empire.
A demonic guild suggested putting a demon as an Emperor because it would be very cool but the other guild didn't accept that because an Overlord Emperor was more badass and with this the Heteromorphic Empire was formed.
They didn't attack the Holy Alliance yet, no that will be too hasty. The Heteromorphic Empire started to invade the world of Helheim, every humanoid guild was destroyed in an instant by the imperial army and every player that traveled to the world of Helheim was PKed by the members of the Heteromorphic Empire, the humanoids weren't the hunters anymore, they now were the prey. After putting the world of Helheim in their hands, the Heteromorphic Empire was preparing to launch an attack on the world of Asgard where the guild of Seraphim and Trinity was located.
First they unleashed their undead, demonic, draconic armies to destroy the villages and cities that were protected by the Seraphim and Trinity. That lured out the humanoid and angelic players and a terrifying battle started that was never seen before in the history of YGGDRASIL.
One by one, the members of the Holy Alliance were destroyed by the powerful members of the Heteromorphic Empire till they reached the heart of the Holy Alliance. The Kingdom of Heaven that was the base of Seraphim was attacked by a large army that was led by the undead emperor Momonga, Touch Me, Ulbert Alain Odle and other allies. Their golden walls fell when they were hit by the powerful magic of the magic casters. Their NPCs were defeated by the NPCs of the Empire and floor after floor was destroyed till they reached the angelic throne. The members of Seraphim fought well but against a World Champion, World Disaster and a World Class Enemy they had no chances. When the guildmaster of Seraphim, who was a female, fell, the undead emperor Momonga destroyed the guild weapon and with this, the age of Seraphim was over.
Trinity had the same fate as the other guilds that were allies of the Holy Alliance. Nobody could dare to fight against the Heteromorphic Empire now and with that, the world of Asgard became a territory of the Empire.
This was the golden age for Ainz Ooal Gown and their allies, memories that Ainz will never forget.
"World conquest? That sounds really interesting, kukuku!" I chuckled like an evil mastermind.
I did have the power and means to create my own empire, my own heaven? WHERE MY JUSTICE! MY RULES!
Since I became an adventurer, I was Mark, a hero that protected the weak. But now I have to kill him and become Ainz Ooal Gown, the Supreme Overlord.
"These people need someone powerful that will stop all the bullshit that is happening in this world. They will not like me because I am an undead, but when I make their lives better, I think they will change, just like the villagers of Carne."
Humans exist in this world and I didn't want them to create advanced technology and pollut this world like the humans did with Earth.
"No… I will never allow them to reach that damn self harming technology!"
I wanted this world to always be a beautiful medieval fantasy science Sci-Fi where all races live together in harmony under the rule of an immortal king but to achieve this, I needed to create a grand army and powerful subordinates that will protect my world. Humans were corrupted beings, demihumans were not disciplined. My only choice was an undead army. The undead that are created by me are born with an undying loyalty, disciplined and really powerful, ideal army.
But how can I create a large army? I can't just go to villages and massacre humans to turn them into undead. The humans will give me a bad title like the Eight Greed Kings, so how can he achieve this?
Katze Plains
That was a cursed land that is surrounded by a permanent foggy atmosphere that spawns undead every day.
