Nemesis POV

Nemesis Kagenou, that was now my name in this World, and you might be thinking ' This World? I thought you were born into this world? '

To answer your question, your both right and wrong at the same time, it is true that I was born into this world, but more like I was reborn in to this world of Swords and Magic

But the thing that caught my attention however was that I know of this World, since this World is the World of my favorite game Tales of Arcadian, Tales of Arcadian the Most Popular Game of the Century, with it garnering fans and players all over the world 

Of course, regrettably however, I didn't played it at launched and just played it just a year before my transportation in this World, and the only reason why I even joined the Game in the first place, is to just cultivate my Mob Persona 

Well most of you must be confused, so I just explained it here

Back in my previous life, I don't know how or what it is now, since it was a long time ago and at that time I was just merely a little girl playing with her toys like any other child like me 

But one day, I accidentally watch an Anime and by then I was hooked on to the genre of Entertainment, and unlike most kids that would like the Hero or the Heroine in the Story, I loved a single concept and that was the Shadow Broker, or an Individual that could be said to be only mentioned in the Story or only shows up little times in the Story

But there Power and Influence is so strong that the story couldn't exist without them in that world, because of that I fell in love with them, and since then I have done everything in my power to become a Shadow Broker in my World as well, to become so Powerful and Influential that I would be a Shadow Broker or an Eminence of Shadows - for the term that I like to referred to it as 

Because of that, I have trained extensively in all forms of Combat Arts, ranging from Boxing, Kung Fu, Swordsmanship and even Mixed-Martial Arts, I have done it all to become the Eminence in Shadow 

But I just didn't do Basic Combat Arts, but I also done my own worked as well by Studying really really hard, since an Eminence in Shadow can't be an Eminence in Shadow if there dumb after all, because of that I have studied Sciences, Math, Biology and among many others as well to become the Perfect Shadow Broker 

But then a thought came to me as well, if I wanted to become a Shadow Broker, I must also hide my Real Identity and also create another Persona so that I would be able to act freely in my other, while also protecting who I truly am

Because of that, I purposely made my Scores to be Average, with me also manipulating my grades to be Plain-Old Average as well, but I also did more than that as well, I did everything that would allow me to be perceived as a Mob Character, with me either doing Shopping, 'Worshiping' 'Hot' Men and 'Beautiful' Onee-samas, I did everything to not stand out from the crowd

But in the Shadows, I trained and trained, while also studying and studying as well, and in truth everything that I did to not just stand out, I was never really attached to any of them really, I just did them to not be noticed 

But of course, there was something that I growth attached to, other than my dream of becoming a Shadow Broker, and that was the Tales of Arcadian 

At first, I only played the Game for the simple fact that It was popular, and since I'm a Mob Character I decided to play the game as well, but when I did, I felt like it was truly Magic 

The Game, so rich in Lore and World Building, the Characters being so life-like in personality, and that's even mentioning the functions of Character Creation 

Because of that function, I was able to create my own Character in Game, with it's Backstory and Lore, and in truth I was goofing around when I created the backstory around my Character, with it being an Reincarnator with said Reincarnator having mastered all of the Fighting Style that I have learnt to the point 

But when I finished on creating the Character, something unexpected happened, my Character gained a Permanent Boost in Learning Speed in every Subject plus Combat Arts, with my Character also getting a Boost in power when fighting with a Weapon on hand and fighting Close-Quarters Combat 

Seeing all of that, and the perks it gave to my character when I gave it such lore, I tested it once more and created tens of accounts to see every perk that I could think off, and when I was done I created the Perfect Player to be the Eminence in Shadow, and with the Games's talked feature, I was truly able to act out my dreams of a Perfect Eminence in Shadow's in the Game 

Of course, despite me loving the game, I didn't just played it, I still trained and trained harder so that the time that I play the Game wouldn't diminished my Skill Level and Physical Capabilities as well 

And in truth, I also learnt a lot in the Game as well, since the Game is advanced enough to the point that the NPC's of the game actually act like real people, making it so that there not that easy to actually guess out of the way, especially since I always picked to be a Noble, I was also involved into the Politics of the Kingdom that I resided in, which allowed me to acquire a lot of Political Skills and Knowledge funnily enough as well 

Like seriously, the Game is a Masterpiece without equal, since it's essentially an Open Sandbox, with Systems in the Game that is far too advanced for today's era

It's no wonder everyone loves it and is seen playing it all day long, since with it's effective story telling and fun gameplay, heck! It even made going to school fun as well, allowing students to just play the game to study, since the game also covers high-level maths and mid-level sciences, just before the whole atoms and other things 

And I'm pretty sure that Schools was slowly loosing students, since they just plays the Game and study in any of the School Academies in Game as well, with politicians even learning from the Game as well!! 

Because of this, many other Companies and even Governments are trying to acquire the Company of the Game, but they couldn't acquire it to begin with for some reason really 

Well I didn't really care and didn't Investigate it, since that wouldn't be the actions of a Mob Character, that is the actions of the Main Character 

But what I, a Mob Character is allowed to do, is to Simped!!

Yes! Even for me, I grown to simped for some in the Game

Heck!! I know for a fact that I'm not the only one as well!! 

Since there has been a lot of online forums that has just been dedicated on Simping on that particular Character!

And that Character my Friends is Rimuru Arcadia Gloria Tempest 

I'am serious about that Character!! 

Like damn!! That Girl looking fine as hell!! I'am pretty sure that the Studio spent more than 10's of millions of dollars just to make her Character be so damn perfect, but also very likable and make everyone be so Lustful and Horny for her 

Like me!!

And I'm saying that!!

Me!!!

A Straight Girl!!

Then turned Gay just so that I could touched some Digital Boobs that I wouldn't be able to touch!!

I feel like a male pervert that just jack off to porn or hentai back then!!

Like seriously!!

Heck! There's even a Cult that worships her as a God via Internet forums, with said Forums having some form of Hierarchy as well, with the Forums having Church Rankings, with the Highest of the Forums having the Pope Ranked, with the founder of said Forum going by the name Ciel 

Well I'm pretty sure that the user gained that name for themselves, via playing the game and discovering Ciel's existence, and the worst part of it all, is that it's not like there's any disadvantages from joining said Forums

Since sure, you need to pay about 100 Dollars per month to the Forum Ranking that you are in, and somehow and someway, that money would then be transferred to The Ciel, and invested to Stocks with the people just getting there equivalent of there share of the money that they would have created, with the rest of the Money just existing in a Bank Account 

I'm sure that the whole Forums became essentially the largest and well-known pyramid scheme, with it not being broken for the simple reason that the Forums does generate hundreds of millions, if not even billions of dollars from it's Investments, which is clearly shown in the Public, since Ciel doesn't exactly hide there Investments to the rest of the World, with it being freely available to see in the Internet

Well not like I will blame them though, since I do also checked out some of her... "Interesting Images" from time to time, and that I too also benefit from the Forums as well by Investing as well 

But of course, this didn't slowed me down to become an Eminence in Shadows, and in fact it just enhanced it, since I also quickly figured out that the Style of Fighting that RImuru-sama employs «Tempest Arts», can also be used in real life as well, well not the ones that employs Magic, but the moves that just employs Physical Strength and nothing more, and truthfully that enhanced my already strong skill sets 

But before I could revel that I have perfectly copied and recreated that Fighting Style, a Truck slammed through my House killing me, and few other houses as well, when I saw it still moving forward without stopped, and before I could see more I then embraced the Eternal Darkness that I thought would engulf me when I hit and would have been killed 

But turns out, I was reborn in to the game world of my dreams, and how do you know that, I hear you asking 

Simple really

Rimuru-sama's Divine Name is all over the news and is literally the talked of the World, with her governing and ruling Gloria with so much skill and finesse that no one would have doubted her rule for the Throne of Tempest 

But more than anything, the thing that truly made me realized where I was truly reincarnated was, that the location of my Rebirth and that same Divine Being is right now in front of me drinking tea with me, like it was some friend get together

Nemesis: " Rimuru-sama? Aren't you worried for your territory? From what I heard it is being invaded by Criris? " I asked her, curious on what she would say, since I do know the Monsters hiding in that Territory, since when I played the Game, I did fought them and was Instantly killed

Nemesis: ' Especially that Maid of her's Shizuki and her Apprentice Altimia, those two are very dangerous and could become Grands if they wanted to, but choose to not be, since they don't really reveal there overall power to the world for them to be recognized to be Grands, there just thought of as Grand candidates ' 

Of course I would have went to said Territory and fought many of them, in fact most of my Early Characters are just going there to fight them, of course I didn't do this for nothing, the reason why I went there to fight them continuously, was so that I would have the advantage on fighting a lot of people, especially when I learnt how to use some of the «Tempest Arts» skills and techniques, with me being able to used them as well 

Which did cause them to always be in shocked and surprised by it, and even assuming it's a skill that allows one to replicate or copy ones own Fighting Style with Eye-Sight alone 

But bitch you thought?!!!

I only know how to used it, simply because the numerous times I have fought you guys, it's only natural that I would be able to replicate your techniques!

Well despite that though, I would still lose, simply because there Weapons and Skills and Experience in Battle is far superior to mine in the Game World 

Nemesis: ' But now? With me now being in the Game World, and with all of my Skills, I'm confident that I could beat you Altimia, Shizuki ' I thought back to the ones that beat the hell out me back then ' But now, with me being in control, I would win our fated battles!!! I will destroy you two?!! ' 

Despite the advanced systems of the Combat System of the Game, there are still some limitations to it, with the only thing that truly surpassing it would be a Full on VR Game, like in those ones like SAO

Rimuru: ' Well considering your power and skills and techniques, you could probably win against them with no problem ' Rimuru thought, while also secretly eyeing her new friend, of course after saying hello to the camera of the Otherworldly Reader 

Then suddenly, in my own daze of thought, Rimuru-sama then stood up from her chair, causing me to looked at her in confusion

Nemesis: " Is something to matter Rimuru-sama? " I asked in a worried tone, since I do need this friendship to last for my plans of becoming an Eminence in Shadow to worked after all 

Hearing my words, she just turned around to then smiled at me, causing me to blushed heavily at such a divine beauty sweet and honest smile, it was truly perfect 

Rimuru: " No. You don't have to be worried about anything, it's just my Maid, Ciel is about to return with an Interesting Guest, she will arrived moments later, so I shall be preparing for her return "

Nemesis: " Ah? It's seems that Ciel-sama is about to return from her long trip soon, very well I shall meet her later then "

With that she then left, leaving all alone in this balcony, but I just didn't sit down mindlessly, for my mind began racing to the Information of Ciel 

Ciel - The Personified version of Rimuru-sama Skill and Knowledge, with her being as equally as Skilled as her Master and Creator, with her being a little weaker than her own Master in terms of Physical Prowess

But that doesn't mean she is weak, since in terms of power and technique, she is able to fight off strong entities on the same level as those of Human Gods, allowing her to take actual Gods when she needs to 

Truly, an utterly overpowered entity, with her just serving and even more overpowered entity 

━━━━━

Just outside of the Kagenou Territory, there shown Rimuru with her seating on a Rock that was brought to her by her Servants that she acquired from her trip 

Rimuru: " Alfia, Zald, place a barrier all around us now " Ordering her new Servants, the two Immediately takes to action and Immediately created a barrier around the premise, while also sending out waves upon waves of Magical Energy to ward off other Beast or Magical Beast, while also creating a whole illusion around her as well, so that no one would spot a flying dragon going towards them after all

While this was happening, Rimuru just eyed her two new servants, Alfia The Sound and Zald The Glutton - Those two were there full on Titles, with the two also being last of the two Heavenly Dragons as well 

On how she was able to acquire them as her servants was only a suggestion from Ciel, since she is so powerful with her Sword on and that she herself could kill and destroy all of the Heavenly Dragons by herself if she wanted to, she just decided to employ the rest of the Heavenly Dragons as her Servants

Since despite on how easy she defeated the three Heavenly Dragons, they still were powerful in there own right, with both Zald and Alfia being strong enough to even be able to fight a Group of Major Gods on there own

Considering that, Rimuru just decided to make them her servants, there two main reasons for that decision, first of all she wants to get stronger on her current state, and what better way to do that with her own Servant that could somewhat fight her at her best, and with her activating [Flame], she could very much easily get stronger from her battles with the two of them at her side

The Stronger of the two is Alfia - The Sound, the reason for her Title, is that she is the Heavenly Dragon of Sound, obviously, she is an Absolute Gorgeous of a Woman, with her having long mystical white hair and heterochromia eyes with, with her right eye being green while her left was grey, along with her body being extremely developed, with her having D-Cup Breast, a Perfect Hourglass Figure and a Huge Buttocks and Thighs, and add in with her dressing in a dark goth-like dress that spanned all the way down to her feet. Around her neck, she had a necklace with a green gemstone decorated. She also wore dark, semi-transparent gloves

She truly was a Extremely Beautiful Woman with her being less or even equal to the Great Goddess of Beauty herself 

As for Zald - The Glutton, he is a handsome man with dark brown hair and grey eyes, with him having scars around his face, which gives the atmosphere of a harden adventurer or warrior. He is wearing a full body black armor along with a dark red cape. In addition to his usual armor, he is also carrying on his back a Red Flaming Great Sword

After finishing up barrier, the two Immediately went to Rimuru and bowed down to her 

Both: " Rimuru-sama The Preparations are complete " To this Rimuru just nodded and then flashed both of them a smile, which greatly affected Alfia, while Zald just powered through it and looked as stoic as he normally is

Rimuru: " Thank you for your worked, you two can do what you want for now, of course you mustn't try to destroy anything significant you got it? " Rimuru replied while also dismissing them that there worked is currently done with a hint of threatening tone at the end of it as well

The two hearing that, couldn't helped but shiver in freight, since they have fought her months ago, and they were soundly defeated by her quite easily as well, because of that the two absolutely fears her power being directed at them in a malicious and killing intent as well, and would do whatever it takes to not be directed by it 

Because of that Zald nods and then stood up and walked away to train, while also using the Training Regiment that Ciel has created for him, so that he would acquire the strength and skill to finally defeat his rival Alfia 

As for Alfia, she merely stood by Rimuru side like a trusted aid that she is, while also sending Zald a critical looked at his lack of respect for there Mutual Master, but she didn't comment on it, for her Master tolerated it and accepted it, without minding to much to it

Rimuru seeing Alfia's actions and thought processed merely hummed and then asked " Alfia, why are you sticking with me? Don't you want to train? Since if I thought right, then Zald would surpassed you in a month or two "

Alfia hearing her Master's words, she couldn't helped but narrow her eyes at such a future, since in truth she doesn't such a possibility from existing, since after at the end of the day she is still a Dragon after all, and Dragons are know for there Extremely Prideful Egos, to the point that the First Thing that they would say when they hatched from there Eggs is to shout pridefully, and when they die they too will shout pridefully that they died fighting as well

And this trait is even more powerful towards the Heavenly Dragons, since they are Dragons that have fought Gods and killed and drank there blood and fleshed, allowing them to harnessed Divinity, because of this they are naturally prideful beyond belief 

Of course for the two of them, there Pride was completely destroyed when they fought and lost against Rimuru, and since then the two have been competing against each other for who was the second best servant that Rimuru has

To them, it is a no-brainer question that Ciel was the Best Servant that Rimuru has, because of this the two have been competing for the second spot for themselves, they have been competing against each other in all manner of ones

But the ones that they prided themselves in, Power, that was something that they prided themselves and vowed to not be surpassed by the other 

Since in truth in terms of Power, the two are similar in terms of power, with the only thing that truly separates them is there Technique and Divinity 

Alfia is a Technique Type Individual, with her much more focusing on her Technique wanting to reached the Pinnacle of it, to the point that the Gods have given her the Title of Alfia The Technique and The Pinnacle of Technique as a sign of Pure Respect that they have towards the Dragon 

Zald is a Power Type Individual, with him training and training so that he could be able to used his Physical Power as Efficient and Effective as Possible, with him training to be able to used all of his Physical Strength into one strike continuously, because of this dedication Zald is able to make used of all of his Physical Strength all out once whenever he wants, and because of this he too was gifted a Title that the Gods give him out of respect, with his Title being Zald The Power and The Pinnacle of Brute Force 

As for there Divinity, when they rampaged all across Heaven, unlike the other Dragons that rampaged and hunted and killed the Gods that would be most beneficial to there Power and Growth, with the Blizzard Dragon hunting down and killing Gods that are related to the Cold, Ice and Winter, and the Scorch Dragon hunting down and killing Gods that are related to Fire, Hot, and Hell 

Both Alfia and Zald with a different approach, they didn't hunt down Gods that would helped them in there power, no, they hunted down Gods that they took particular Interest 

Alfia hunted down and killed many, many Gods of Beauty and Fertility, with her hunting so much that in her Human Form she is often Mistaken for a Goddess of Beauty, since her Beauty is so striking that she is close or even rivals the Most Beautiful Goddess there is and that is Goddess Amara

As for Zald, he hunted down Gods that is associated with War and Carnage, because of this, his human form also changed, into that of a harden veteran of war, with him encompassing a lot of the typical stereotypes of War Veterans, and it also cause him to be a lot more Physical more Powerful and also greatly enhanced his Techniques, particularly his Great Sword Proficiency, and his skills as a General as well 

It's because of this, they automatically acquired skills that aren't with them originally and Instinctively mastered them to a high level to the point that they can be called true Masters of the Art of it all

And looking at Divinity alone, one would think that Zald held the stronger Divinity, but no it's Alfia who held the Stronger Divinity 

Since Quality over Quantity is always not the be all and end all 

Sure the Gods that Zald has killed is a lot stronger than Alfia's, but they are powerful and skilled in combat, with them being able to effectively fight and slow him down before they were eaten, and add in the fact that there lower in number compared to the Gods of Beauty, he could only hunt so much before he annihilated the entire Gods of War and Carnage, before they return back to life, but even then it is a processed that would take about a few hundreds years before they all reborn once more 

But for Alfia, because of her targets being one of the weakest of Godkind, she doesn't need to used her Technique to kill them, she could just brute forced herself and kill them all in a single waved of her finger, and with the Gods of Beauty being Individually weak(except for Amara), she was able to kill them quite quickly, but most Importantly however, they were hundreds if not millions of Gods of Beauty and Fertility all around Heaven, because of this large numbers she was able to effectively kill them and absorbed there Divinity for herself 

Because of that she acquired more Divinity for herself than Zald ever has acquired in Heaven

After a few seconds more, Alfia then went in front of Rimuru and then bowed down and asked " Master, could you allow your lowly servant to also train? "

Rimuru hearing that could only let out a small smile " Very well, I shall allow it, then be safe out there.. And also this is your training regiment " Rimuru said while also manifesting a small piece of metal in front of Alfia who then bowed down once more and then grabbed it for herself and smiled happily at such a gift from her Master

Alfia: " Thank you Rimuru-sama, I shall be off then " With that she too also left to do her own Training that was made by Ciel 

After a few minutes since Alfia has left the area, a giant red dragon was now flying towards her, and after reaching a certain distances Ciel then jumped off the Dragon and landed towards her gracefully and bowed down with deep respect, with the Dragon following suit and assuming it's human form straight away bowed down before her, with an obvious blushed on her face 

Rimuru seeing the new girl, she just smirked and then stood up from her seat and then steadily approached the two 

Rimuru: " This must be the Scorch Dragon then? Ciel? " Rimuru asked the already obvious question and answer to her Partner, who only answered her seriously and faithfully 

Ciel: " Hai, this is Lita, The Scorch Dragon, she is the new servant that I have told you about in our magic communication " Ciel revealed to Rimuru, who only hummed and then looked at Lita, who only trembled at her Divine Gaze 

Rimuru continued to looked, until she just nodded and then destroyed the Barrier that was originally placed there 

Rimuru: " Follow me you two, we shall be going to the Kagenou Household for now and Informed them of our next moves "With that the two then stood up and then started to leave the scene, with Lita merely looked at Rimuru in both confusion, lust and fear 

Sure Lita does fear her for her power, but that doesn't mean that she isn't allowed to window-shopped very attractive Individuals once in a while, and that is even more so to Rimuru, who is a Divine Beauty that even surpassed the Goddess of Beauty Amara 

Especially since Lita is known as a Dragon that goes around various Kingdoms to kidnapped a lot of handsome and beautiful men and women, with her not really caring if they are farmers, slaves, princesses/princes, nobles or any other race 

For as long as they were beautiful and handsome in her eyes, she would kidnapped them and have her way with them

And in truth that is a common practiced for Dragons really, since to them they lived in a Code of the Forest 

The Strongest Gets Everything that the World has to Offer

While 

The Weakest Must Served the Strongest in the World 

It is a World of Pride for them, it is also because of that it is so easy to make a Dragon submit and make them a Servant to the one who defeated them

Since despite there Immense Pride as Dragons, they follow this Rule/Code with there lives, like zealots who would protect and do what their Holy Scriptures says, they too would do what said Code does

And in this case, submit to the ones that defeated them, and since Dragons only recognized Power and Strength, it is very easy to make them submit to you, and with there Code of the Weakest serving the Strongest is also applicable to them as well, with them faithfully serving the ones who won against them, without any hint of disobedience and thoughts of betray 

And the best parts is that they wouldn't even mind underhanded tactics as well, since to them it is a part of ones Power and Techniques are after all 

Because of that, they are the best Servants one could asked for

Ciel: " Rimuru-sama, where would be going next? " 

Rimuru: " Hmmmm, we will return home to Gloria "

Ciel: " Isn't that far too ahead of time? "

Rimuru: " True, but we have nothing left to do, and besides that the readers are getting impatient of the long waits and that the Author is running out of Ideas of how to lengthen this bit of the story Ciel~ "

Ciel hearing her words could only nod, with Lita only looking at the two of them confused on what the hell they were talking about 

Lita: " .. Reader?... Author?.... Lengthen?... Story?.... What the hell are you talking about!!!!!! " Lita tried to make sense of it, but she simply couldn't and decided to voiced it out for the two of them to hear, but unfortunately..

*BANG!!*

.. Ciel punched her straight in the face, causing her to fall unconscious, with her body being catch by Ciel before she could fly off 

Ciel: " That's for yelling and disturbing's Rimuru-sama's silence "

With that she then brought the Lizard under her arms and then walked towards the Kagenou's
