Ruling a country was boring, in all but a week I had managed to shut down any opposition, without the use of excessive force, I expected something to happen, something to change to make this repetitive line of success interesting, a powerful enemy to test my might, and King declaring war, alas, nothing had happened, even after I revealed to the Kingdom I had killed the King taking his throne, they just simply accepted that I was the King, and continued with their lives.

And while there were some still trying to dethrone me, none of them represented a challenge, none of them was… a toy worthy of playing with, an adversary fit to my stature, the adventurers guild was at best a nuisance, their power was remarkably low and their influence in the country even more so, so their possible opposition was nothing but a tea party for me, which is why I had told Ainz to let them be, to let the plot, not like they can do anything about it anyway.

After a while, things got incredibly more boring, so I put a doppelganger on my place to rule under Demiurge's supervision, God knows that demon is better fit to manage a Kingdom that I am, with that out of the way, I was left with the harsh reality that I had no idea what to do, I wanted to have fun, to enjoy, to fight, but I was above everyone, even Ainz.

So, I decided to explore, to truly explore, to go beyond the borders of what I knew of this world, after all, there was bound to be something exciting out there, something to spice things up, with that in mind, I packed my things, and left the Re-Eztize Kingdom, with Zesshi, Sebas, and Fenrir by my side.

"Time to go," I sighed, map at hand, it was time to explore this world, and face the greatest challenges it had to offer, who knows, I might have fun along the way.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Days passed, and I continued to move at a steady pace, marking the Re-Estize Kingdom as a low threat level place, my bets were the Dragon Kingdom, and the outskirts around would provide me with the entertainment I so much desired, after all, Dragons were powerful creatures, and so I expected a challenge from them.

"You food, Alastor-sama," Sebas said, giving me a plate of delicious meat.

"Thanks," I smiled, taking the plate.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

As my journey continued, I felt something, something that for a moment concerned me, various presences all in one place, the amount of energy signatures I felt ranged in the thousands, no… in the millions, and all of them were undead, and to top it all, they weren't moving, they were simply there, in the center of the mountain I was passing by, the question now was, who was the necromancer capable of such feat, to my knowledge only Ainz was strong enough to do such thing, and he hadn't. "I'll be right back," I muttered, taking flight towards the mountain.

Opening my map, I marked the place I was going for future references, Mount Keitenias, with that done, I continue flying towards the mountain, eventually arriving above the location I had felt the swarm of undead creatures, once there, I descended into the mountain, and started to look around. "Underneath the mountain, well that's clever." as I noticed this, I also noticed there was some kind of magic field, keeping the beast in place, in place, it seems like another being had sealed the necromancer in the mountain, intriguing, oh well, time to meet Skeletor Beta Version.

As I was about to dig straight to the swarm, a roar stopped me dead on my tracks, followed by the swarm of creatures moving out of their location, it seems they had detected my presence and were digging their way out of the mountain to greet me.

As they did so, a new presence entered my range of detection, one vastly stronger than the others, by a lot… quite a lot… A LEVEL 95?! "Well, this is interesting." I chuckled, waiting for the creature to arrive and greet me.

With a loud roar, the monster broke through the earth like butter, landing in front of me, baring its fangs menacingly, and boy let me tell you, he was massive and quite the unexpected development, I expected an Ainz wannabe, no what stood in front of me, a fucking Dragon, an undead one at that, an undead albino dragon with a snake-like head and a long snake whip-like tail that connected to his bulgy middle body, alongside a pair of bat-like wings, and a pair of red eyes.

"A player?" The Dragon hissed, and from the start, I could feel his contempt for me.

"A dragon," I replied in kind, analyzing the beast in front of me, realizing why I had felt millions of energy signatures, the bastard was covered in undead from head to tail, creating quite the unorthodox armor, using magic to camouflage them, by the naked eye, no one would be able to tell, but I could… quite a clever strategy, using them to mitigate damage, it would take me quite a while to kill him, taking into account the millions of summons I have to kill first.

"Foolish little player, you will die…" The Dragon hissed, ready to attack.

"Who are you?" However, this question seemed to stop him, dead in his tracks.

"You know not of me?" The Dragon hissed.

"Should I?" I asked.

"YES!" The Dragon hissed as if knowing him was like telling time.

"Hmm, well… I don't, so please illuminate my ignorance," I replied.

"I am one of the dragon lords! The strongest creature in existence," Blah, blah, I have a big dick, blah blah, I need approval, blah, blah, "I am Cure Elim Los Malvar!"

"Doesn't ring a bell," I shrugged.

"I will kill you," Cure Elim, hissed, his eyes burning with hate.

"Not today," I snorted, "I now know where you are, and if you happen to be the strongest creature on this world, I will come to kill you, after I kill the others, in the meantime, I have to complete the list, and see whose first and whose last, so.… Bye~" with that said I teleported out of the mountain, leaving the undead gecko alone.
