Two Days Later.

Planet Earth's Outer Space, White Palace.

A huge pearl white & brown ship could be seen docked at the back of the palace. Thankfully the palace's protective barrier was currently active, as it always has been since they first arrived in the Overlord plane. It cloaked away the palace in its entirety.

Around the palace's exterior flew an extremely high tech cloaked satellite, preventing any intruding signals that may come from the purple planet beneath it.

Within the White Palace, a massive white circular bedroom could be seen with see through dr.a.p.es circling each side. Eighteen figures could be seen resting toward the inside of the bed. Even though this was a large number, these figures didn't even cover up a third of the overall bed yet. Definitely fit for the life of an emperor.

All of them currently had their clothes stripped, n.a.k.e.d. This also included two newly added people, Nemesia and Lippti. Nemesia was usually on the adventurous side, so the first night she saw the girls stripped, she didn't shy away. She hid away her b.r.e.a.s.ts in her frilly white button top. Yet beneath that was a black dress skirt. She also wore black stockings, which gave her a more mature air. Her attitude was mostly that of a teacher as well, often giving remarks that passed or failed.

Yet with all of that stripped only laid a bare short brown haired girl with silver eyes. Her b.r.e.a.s.ts were actually on the larger side, and similar to Tights, her n.i.p.p.l.es were inverted, hiding away from sight. Her skin was flawless and compared similar to the other girls. At the moment Nemesia laid off to Nao's left.

Though between him and her was a smaller figure. Nemesia's was as beautiful as jade, then the opposite could be said for Lippti. Her skin was as pale as a deep sea pearl, but it still contained some red blushes on it signaling she was healthy.

Her b.r.e.a.s.ts were on the smaller side but were well developed. Lippti has been alive for over 250 years after all, her body had long since matured.

And of course, sleeping right on top of Nao was none other than Aht. She claimed this spot since she became pregnant, and Elsa allowed her to sleep here until she gives birth. Eir also took a position nearby Aht on Nao's right. The rest of the girls spread out from there.

The two days of down time ended, so it was time to log back into Yggdrasil. The sun soon peered into the room, morning had arrived. Nao's eyelids was the first to flutter until they opened. Seeing his girls sleeping peacefully, a smile grew on his face. The one he was worried the most about right now was actually Lippti.

A peaceful snoring could be heard from her lips. Her outward expressions didn't reveal much emotion but Nao actually saw a rear fly down her cheek. Nao didn't hesitate and wiped it away. Nao then ruffled her hair. Feeling his warmth a smile was brought to her face.

"Lippti, it's time to wake up."

"Mmm....Just a few more minutes...Father...Mother...", A light groan escaped from Lippti's lips.

Hearing these soft words be spoken, Nao blinked in silence, staring at Lippti. His heart clenched a bit before sinking into his own thoughts. 'She must be dreaming of her parents...but it's been over two centuries since they could meet last, and who knows if they're even alive now. Is she dreaming of them...because she now has a family again?', Nao wondered to himself.

Nao did have parents of his own too, but he was able to properly say goodbye to them both in his first life and second life. This third life he was experiencing technically counted as his second life, if he took into the account of starting life over from being birthed by parents. But in actuality he was living his third life now.

Rebirth's main function was reincarnation, and as Nao's system developed over time, it granted him different ways to reincarnate. Nao knew the Overlord Plane was an extremely unstable world, so he did not want to start life over as a baby during it. Thankfully he can create avatars now.

Yet remembering this and the next two worlds lined up for him, Nao knew those two worlds are more stable to have parents in and start life from scratch again. Nao knew he had eleven years to go in what he would now call the Old World. However, he did not know how long he would stay in the New World for.

A few of its characters did interest him enough to start forming special bonds with. And they were in the era of Ainz Oowl Gown, not the era of the prior transfers.

That's right. While unknown to most people, in the original story, Ainz Oowl Gown was not the only person to transfer to the New World. The New World was actually shaped by the previous transferees into what it is now!

Ainz Oowl Gown would be marked the nineteenth person to transfer. So would that make Nao the twentieth? He wouldn't forget that his girls would also transfer with him, so they would be added to the count too.

Unfortunately even with knowing this, at the time Ainz did not. He would not know that he would be the only person to transfer of his era in the original story, and his mission of searching for any living players would come to naught.

Yet it was different this time. In the New World, Ainz would eventually come across Nao and his girls! But for that to proceed smoothly, Nao has to find Momonga in Yggdrasil.

Besides finding the whereabouts of the World Item Ouroboros, which unfortunately he hadn't yet, and besides grinding his level with his party, his new top priority was finding the dark forest Momonga was found in by Touch Me.

Luckily for him, before the maintenance happened, he was able to see Helheim City as well as a couple of other locations in the distance. One was a darkwood forest and another was a poisonous swamp. He was very excited to see both of those!

The first likely was the area where he could find Momonga and the latter he could take a guess that it was THE Grenbera Swamps. The very same swamp that would house the hidden Level 3000 Guild Base, The Great Tomb of Nazarick!

Nao saw a couple of moments passed while during his remembrance of his parents that eventually lead to his current thoughts on Yggdrasil. Bringing his senses back to reality, he saw the girls start to stir awake.

This was caused by Lippti, who he saw a blissful smile still on her sleeping face. He still had his hand on her hair. He then received an urge to kiss her forehead. 'I know I shouldn't rush it with Lippti, but doing this should be fine, right?', Nao consoled himself.

In fact ever since he got Aht pregnant, Nao toned down his s.e.x.u.a.l activities with his girls. Now he mainly enjoys deepening his bond with them and cuddling together.

And with that in mind, he decided to lean forward to Lippti's face, planting his lips on her forehead.

"Mmm...", Lippti, replied, letting out another light groan.

She then started to stir awake, letting her eyelids flutter as sunlight shone into the main bedroom.

Lippti then felt a presence right next to hear and rubbed her eyes awake. She then got confused as to where she currently was, but as she experienced this, she was feeling very warm.

"Huh...where is this? Also this warmth...It's a feeling I've long thought I've lost...", Lippti said as she uttered in a quiet voice.

"Silly, did you forget what happened yesterday?", Nao replied to her. He then wrapped his arms around her back and brought Lippti into a hug.

"Ah...now I remember. Strange, out of all these years, why would I recall my family now? Do I miss them...huh?", Lippti said. She then felt a wave of emotion sweep over her as she recalled her dream she had over the night.

Nao, Elsa, Aht, Nemesia, and the others soon saw tears swell up in Lippti's eyes. They started to pour down her face, and didn't stop. A few tried to get near and comfort Lippti but Elsa held them off. Elsa stayed quiet as Nao continued to rub her hair.

"Are these tears...? You feel very warm, Nao. Your warmth reminds me of my parents...", Lippti said with a shaky voice.

Nao felt his heart clench again seeing Lippti cry but he couldn't feel any sort of sadness coming from within her. Perhaps Teo and Lippti bottled their emotions deep down during their time as Historia's guardians, and with a little push, its slowly coming to the surface.

Nao then responded to her in a quiet voice.

"It's okay to let it all out, Lippti. You and Teo aren't bound by duty or lonely anymore. You two are part of our family now."

"Family...it truly has been a long time. Wahhhh!", Unable to keep it down anymore, Lippti's tears rushed forth and she let out a cry.

"Lippti…was it truly that lonely for you and Teo?", Aht said as she also started to comfort her with her hand.

'I didn't know...perhaps everything is starting to surface.", Lippti responded while sniffling.

Seeing this, Nao signaled Elsa. Elsa immediately knew what Nao wanted and started to round the girls up, slowly departing the main bedroom one by one.

As much as Nao wanted to log into Yggdrasil, he couldn't leave Lippti like this. He decided to spend the remaining of the morning with Lippti, Aht, Eir Nemesia and Elsa. Those who remained behind in the main bedroom listened to Lippti's remembrance of het family while she enjoyed the warmth Nao gave.

A few hours passed like this and the morning concluded. Lippti stopped her tears and eventually gave Nao a kiss for letting her experience this moment. Nao was surprised of course but he still enjoyed it.

With that done and over, they left the main bedroom after getting dressed and ready. Elsa then brought Lippti and Nemesia to Tights. The two wanted to take the White Palace life slow and as its head maid, it was Tights' duty to show them around. Of course this excluded Yggdrasil, the two would not enter the game until they wanted to experience virtual reality.

Before everyone realized it, Nemesia and Lippti became adjusted tp their new lives here and the sands of time began to churn.

The two days soon felt like it was nothing, Nao and his party started their crazy level grinding once more. Nao held off on creating Rising Phoenix until after he meets Momonga, as he may want to become part of the Nine's Own Goal with him if he offers a position.

No signs of Ouroboros either as their leveling continued. The party mainly swept around Helheim City and its nearby forest, which they found out the name : Darkwood Forest.

And as expected the grinds in the second half to their path to Lv100 slowed them down quite a bit.

Not even an echo of the World Champion Tournament sounded off either, hidden away in shadows.

Days soon turned into months, and months soon turned into years...As the four became closer and closer, a total of three years have passed before they realized it!

It was now 2130! Not only that, discrimination against Heteromorphic players was reaching its peak. This started to reveal an existence of a lonely skeleton mage who was constantly being bothered by some Pkers deep inside the Darkwood Forest.

By chance, Nao, Isabella, Tabula and Bukubukuchagama found a skeleton mage dressed in a brown leather ragged robe, face down in the dirt. Nao let out a frown emote hearing cursing and slander being thrown at this skeleton mage by several players near him.

Nao also smiled inwardly as he finally found one of his two targets. The legend himself, Ainz Oowl Gown!
