It had taken me four months of nonstop grinding to regain my levels. My status looked like this.

...

My Physical Attack and Agility states were high because of the Demon Emperor's Racial Class. At each level, it provided a permanent buff to these states.

It had been one and a half years since I started playing Yggdrasil. And I only completed two variants.

'I have to pick up the pace.'

I had many Builds in mind. But for my next Build, I chose a production-oriented one. If I had a production-oriented build, I could make items, potions, etc.

With the type of Build decided, I started thinking about its race. There were many racial classes I could choose for this type of Build, but eventually, I decided to play as a Dwarf.

I made this choice because it offered bonuses to production-focused job classes.

But there was a catch; Dwarves were excellent Blacksmiths, Armorsmiths, and Weaponsmiths. They offered bonuses for the job classes focused only on blacksmithing, armorsmithing, and weaponsmithing.

But there were other production-focused job classes like; Alchemist, Potioners, Enchanters, etc.

'I might have to make more Builds for them.'

But I still decided to play as a Dwarve for the next Build.

???: "Momonga-san, are you free right now?"

I was currently in my chambers. I turned around to see a crab-like monstrosity standing by the entrance. His name was Amanomahitotsu, a fellow clan member.

He had a crab-like appearance, similar to a fiddler crab. He had four orange-yellow colored hands, one of which was a giant crab claw, also wearing goggles and smithing attire.

Momonga: "Yeah, I am free."

Amanomahitotsu: "Thank god, I need your help with something."

Momonga: "What is it?"

Amanomahitotsu: "You see, I need an ore for an item I am working on. And it only spawns in the dungeons of Niavellir. Most of the clan members are preparing for a raid. Will you be willing to accompany us?"

Niavellir was one of the realms where many players of the humanoid and demi-human races mainly resided. By entering Niavellir, heteromorphic players had disadvantages placed on them when faced with non-heteromorphic players.

'I do need the corpses of Dwarfs to create a new variant. And I might be able to find materials to level up the new variant.'

Unlike combat-oriented classes that level up through fighting and killing monsters, production-oriented classes advance by producing various things.Updated from novelbIn.(c)om

Momonga: "Yeah, let's go."

I left my chambers alongside Amanomahitotsu and walked toward the main hall; inside, I found Touch Me, Nishikienrai, Flatfoot, Ancient One, and Warrior Takemikazuchi.

During my time in the clan, all the original members of Nine's Own Goal had joined it.

Momonga: "Hey, guys."

After discussing the intricacies of the raid, we all left the clan's base and headed toward Niavellir.

~Scene Change~

Inside a hall, the members of the Red Bears were conversing about their raid.

Ivan: "Now, with that decided. I have a question for all of you."

Everyone turned their heads toward him.

Mikhail: "What is it?"

Ivan: "Have you guys found any information about 'him?'"

Here by 'him,' he meant Momonga.

Mikhail: "It has been five months already. Maybe we should forget about him and focus on strengthening our clan."

Maxim: "I agree with him."

Vladik: "Shut your mouth, Mikey. You didn't lose something you worked for months, but I DID! And I am going to make him pay for it!"

Maxim: "I understand your anger, Vlad. But even if you find him, what can you do? Last time, he killed you without an effort."

And despite using "Combat Precognition," I got hit sometimes. I quickly dodged another spell and jumped back to create distance between us. Touch and the rest had already killed the other players.

???: "YOU'LL PAY FOR MY WAND AND BELITTLING ME!"

He kept attacking me with more spells.

Touch: "You should finish the fight soon, Momonga-san."

I nodded and used "Shadow Step" and "Iron Fist" to kill the player in a single combo.

[You have killed a player of the Human race. You received 0 EXP.]

[The effect of 'Advancement Amulet' has been applied. 0 EXP -> 0 EXP.]

[Your location will be broadcasted to all the nearby players for half an hour.]

[You received the "Wand of Vengence."]

'Maybe, he is someone I killed in the past.'

We turned toward the goal-like player. On closer inspection, the player was a humanoid gray goat; crowned with two wickedly curved golden horns.

Momonga: "Hello, my name is Momonga."

Ulbert: "My name is Ulbert Alain Odle, the demon goat of destruction."

Ulbert took a proud stance.

Momonga: "Oh, so that's how it is. Then I am Momonga, the strongest fighter with a face resembling an egg."

I also took a proud stance.

Ulbert: "Hahahaha! That's nothing to be proud of."

Takemikazuchi: "It seems you have found your fellow chuunibyou, Momonga-san."

Momonga: "It does seem like it."

Ulbert decided to join the Nine's Own Goal after our conversation, and as a team, we planned to raid the final dungeon.

~Scene Change~

After raiding the dungeons, we went back to the clan's headquarters. Ulbert also came back with us.

After reaching the HQ, I went to my chambers and prepared for the ritual.

I deposited the corpses and Data Crystal in a circular pattern and positioned myself in the middle.

"Altering Invocation!"

A magical circle appeared beneath me, extending to cover the entire room. A few seconds later, I received a notification.

[The skill 'Altering Invocation' has been used, and all the necessary conditions have been fulfilled.]

[Congragulations for unlocking a new variant.]

[Race: Doppelganger(1 Variant) -> Doppelganger(2 Variant)]

For this variant, I chose to play as a Mountain Dwarf. My new appearance was that of a short man with a long black beard, hair, and eyes. My arms had bulking muscles.

My status looked like this.

~Scene Change~

In another realm of Yggdrasil, a bald human player was shouting angrily.

Vlad: "MMMMYYYY WANDDDDDDD!"
