Overlord: The Multiverse

Chapter 60: First world High School DXD

As I chuckled at Death's words, I found myself feeling a mix of amusement and incredulity at Shalltear's unwavering loyalty. "Well, I suppose I should count my blessings," I remarked, a wry smile playing on my lips.

With that thought in mind, I turned my attention to the holographic interface once more, eager to assess Demiurge's loyalty.

[Demiurge, The Guardian of the Seventh Floor]

Loyalty: 250%

Description: Devotes himself to your every command, striving for your approval and recognition

A strategic mastermind, he constantly seeks ways to further your goals and ambitions

Remark: Beware, his loyalty is border line love. Beware of what words you choose in front of him.

I couldn't help but chuckle at the unexpected twist in Demiurge's loyalty assessment. "Well, that's... unexpected," I remarked, feeling a mixture of amusement and slight unease at the implications.

And to think that it bordered on love! It was like something straight out of a soap opera.

As I processed this revelation, Death couldn't resist teasing me about the situation. "Looks like you've unknowingly captured Demiurge's heart, my dear," she remarked, her voice laced with playful sarcasm.

I chuckled nervously, feeling the need to set the record straight—no pun intended. "Please don't tease me, Death," I protested, "And I am straight as an arrow."

Death's laughter echoed in my mind, but I was quick to assert my position. "I mean, not that there's anything wrong with that," I added hastily, "but it's just not my cup of tea."

The irony of the situation wasn't lost on me. Here I was, a Supreme Being caught in the midst of a potential love triangle with my own Guardians. If only the my friends could see me now—they'd probably get a kick out of it.

I couldn't shake the lingering thought of Demiurge's borderline love for me. It was like walking on eggshells—except the eggshells were made of his undying devotion.

"Well, at least I'll never have to worry about him betraying me," I quipped to myself, trying to find the humor in the situation. "After all, loyalty like that doesn't come around every day."

With a newfound sense of determination, I made a mental note to tread carefully around Demiurge, ensuring that my words and actions didn't inadvertently lead him on. The last thing I needed was a love-struck Guardian complicating our already precarious situation.

"Now that's done, I have a doubt, Death," I said, turning my attention back to the mischievous entity.

"Oh, do tell," Death replied, her voice dripping with curiosity.

"As we're in the dimensional gap, how exactly do I access the New World, where the story of Overlord unfolds? Do I need to use the Multiverse system, or is there another way to travel there?" I inquired, eager for clarification.

"You have to use the system to go to the New World, but unlike other worlds, the New World doesn't require spending Karma points to travel there—it's free of charge," Death explained with a sly grin, as if she were divulging a well-kept secret.

"Ah, free travel? Now that's my kind of deal," I remarked, a grin spreading across my face at the thought of saving some Karma points for once. "Guess I'll have to take advantage of that while I can."

"But suggest you go to a different world than new world to start." Death said.

"Really? Any particular reason?" I asked, intrigued by Death's suggestion.

"No particular reason, it just my opinion."

I couldn't help but chuckle at Death's nonchalant response. "No particular reason, huh? Just your opinion," I echoed, raising an eyebrow in amusement. "Well, I suppose I'll take your word for it."

As I pondered my next destination, a mischievous idea popped into my head. "If that's the case, then should I go to High School DxD as my first world?" I mused aloud, a grin spreading across my face at the thought of the infamous anime universe. "The land of waifus and sexy devils."

Death's laughter echoed in my mind, her amusement palpable even without her physical presence. "Ah, High School DxD, an excellent choice," she replied, her voice laced with humor. "But be warned, you might find yourself a bit... distracted by all the... assets on display."

I couldn't help but chuckle at her playful warning. "Oh, I'm sure I can handle a few distractions," I joked, though the mental image of navigating a world filled with buxom demons and sultry angels did give me pause.

"Besides," I added with a grin, "what's an adventure without a little eye candy along the way?"

Death chuckled softly, her amusement washing over me like a warm breeze. "Very true, my dear. Just be sure not to get too distracted by the scenery," she teased, her tone tinged with mischief.

"I'll do my best to stay focused," I replied, though I couldn't help but wonder how successful I would be in resisting the allure of High School DxD's infamous charms.

With my destination set and my excitement building, I turned my attention to the Multiverse system once more, eager to begin my journey into the world of waifus and sexy devils. But as I prepared to embark on my adventure, a sudden realization dawned on me.

"Wait a minute," I muttered to myself, furrowing my brow in confusion. "I have to wait for a few days until the Guardians complete my orders."

Leave it to bureaucracy to put a damper on my plans for a spontaneous interdimensional vacation. Oh well, I suppose a little delay wouldn't hurt. After all, anticipation only makes the eventual adventure that much sweeter, right?

With a resigned sigh, I settled back into my chair, content to bide my time until the Guardians had finished their preparations. After all, Rome wasn't built in a day, and neither was a perfectly executed interdimensional excursion.

In the meantime, I could always brush up on my demonology and angelic studies. Who knows, maybe I'll even pick up a few new tricks to impress the ladies.
