Although I feel like a king, I am a king who is surrounded by his enemies from all sides and is cornered
One wrong decision and all those enemies will come running through my door
Just the fact that none of those came from Nazarick is a human is big enough problem, we are also on top of one of the strongest villages in this world
"*sigh* If I'm still human, I'll probably have a nervous breakdown"
I glanced at the red flag hanging beside my bed with my name on it. Looking at it now, it seems so heavy as carrying it also means taking responsibility for all the living beings here in the great tomb of Nazarick, including those of Albedo and Sebas
*Slap* *Slap* *Slap*
I tapped my cheeks with my palms to shake the uneasiness I was feeling
Although I will face a lot more challenges in this life, it shouldn't scare me. Instead, I should take control of it
Everyone faces challenges in life, although mine is a little bigger, I just need to learn how to overcome it
I stood up after saying that to myself and walked towards a mirror. I got curious about my appearance since I seemed to be taller than usual
My black hair is messy. But even dishevelled, it still falls perfectly around my face, framing my sharp jawline and piercing black eyes
I started removing my clothes seemed to be some sort of black coat
*Clang*
It made a metallic sound upon hitting the ground, but I didn't care about that. Instead, I stared at my body with wide eyes and my mouth wide open
I traced my hands on my muscular body that seemed to be crafted by a god; my muscles are all defined like someone who spends his entire life inside a gym, a huge contrast to my previous body that was thin and frail
Although I have seen that my hair is back from the mirror of remote viewing earlier, I didn't know that my body has become this muscular. I look like a god of beauty. If this is merely a transformation technique, it's better not to return to normal
I started flexing my muscles and taping them. As I flex my arms, the biceps and triceps ripple, and I can hardly believe the transformation
"I don't know what the heck happened, but thank you, whoever you are, that crafted this perfect-looking specimen. But enough with that, please show me my cheats"
I jokingly said to myself, and a blue holographic screen did appear in front of me, making me pleasantly surprised
[Renz]
[Level - 100]
[HP - 100%]
[MP/Chakra - 100%]
[The Conqueror]
[STORAGE] [SYSTEM SHOP]
I felt relieved as I'm also level 100 like the original. It would have been so troublesome if I were only level 1. As I knew that in this new world, killing a level 1 will be no different from killing a chicken
I decided to ignore the conqueror title below my MP/Chakra, I already have so many things I need to deal with, it's best not to add that title to my problems
"STORAGE"
I got curious as to what my storage had, wondering if this was unique to me, suddenly a black-looking vortex appeared in front of me. It surprised me, so I took a few steps back. Then I remembered that I saw this thing appear multiple times in the anime
After waiting for some time, nothing happened, no blue screen or no item came out of it, so I put my hand inside the black looking vortex
"I hoped nothing bad would happen, I don't want to be a protagonist with one arm"
After putting my hand inside it, my mind became filled with different words and names of what the storage had inside
The items inside range widely from weapons like staffs, swords, spears shields. There are also armours, boots, and there are also materials like leathers and scales
My head started to hurt because of the sheer amount of what my Storage contains
"My god, there are so many"
The equipment also seemed to be divided based on their ranks, just like in the games, and most of the equipment in my storage has duplicates. That's when I realise that this equipment and items are probably loot from a monster or rewards the main character got before the start of the series
After all, the Overlord was based on a DMMO-RPG game
Most weapons from Overlord have different effects, such as a weapon that could freeze its surroundings and a weapon that emits fire that could burn even steel like butter or simply gives some minor healing effects
I felt ecstatic at the thought of it, this weapon will give me a huge advantage against the Ninjas of this world
I tried getting one of the weapons from my storage
However, I didn't try getting any of those weapons with special effects, as I was afraid of not being able to control those kinds of unique abilities and ending up injuring myself
'Common Sword'
I chose a sword of a common rank. I felt a hard object brushing against my hand inside the Storage, but the next moment, I felt a repelling force preventing me from holding the sword
I started to remember that the main character was a Magic caster, based on the setting of Overlord, a magic caster could only wield a staff or a weapon for magic casters unless a special skill was used
It seems that I have the same class as him, a magic caster
"Sword isn't that cool anyway"
Then wiped a tear on the corner of my eye as I abandoned the thought of being a sword-wielding magic caster in this life
"Common staff"
I managed to grab a common staff from the Storage and then pull it out, and then I practised swinging it a few times. I noticed how my body was used to swinging the staff, even though this was my very first time holding something like this
I started to wonder if I could as the same skills as the original one, or if my skills would be different from his
But suddenly the staff glowed, it seems like it is responding to my Mana, so I decided to put the staff back on the storage as this is not the place to practice my skills and techniques. This place is so cramped that
I am planning to see the portal at the entrance of Naarick later anyway, that place should be a perfect training ground since it's also spacious

[Locked]
[Locked]
[Locked]
[Gold:999,999,999] [Ryo:0]
I was surprised after reading the description of the items being sold in the SYSTEM SHOP because it will only work on Ninjas, and most of them are useless to me. There are also some locked items
More importantly, they require Ryo and not Gold; if I remember correctly, Ryo is the currency used by the ones from Naruto for their day-to-day life
I started pacing back and forth while pondering what the items in this system shop meant
Although the Cloak of Absolute invisibility is extremely beneficial for us, why are most of the items being sold at the system shop meant for Ninjas outside? Shouldn't my cheat help me increase my strength? Or is this system here to help me in another way?
"Like getting all the female Ninjas by offering them strength in return for their bodies?"
Ok, that's a bad joke, but not a bad Idea, but maybe this item from the shop is meant to form a bridge between us and the Ninjas of this world. Like I can offer them some of these items as a sign of friendship and get some benefits out of it in return
Although I have decided to ignore my title - the conqueror earlier- it seems like these items are related to it
As I don't have things like land or prestige to offer the humans of this world to join me, or to at least think favourably of us from the Great tomb of Nazarick, it seems like I need to offer them this pill to increase their strength
But wouldn't that be dangerous for me and the beings of Nazarick, since in theory, with the pill of chakra, I could increase the level of someone to as much as my level?
"It seems like I need to use these pills very carefully"
