Holy Grail War? Dragon Ball War

But that's okay.

"Three days?"

"Let's put the things into the expanded backpack for now."

Feeling he could pack up and leave, he stood up and looked at the palace behind him, murmuring to himself.

I never imagined I would be alive again after dying there.

In order to learn from his mistakes, he decided to make changes.

One of them was retraining the "human race".

Faced with the prospect of shutting down his company, Suzuki Satoru ultimately made his choice at that time.

That is, to take a gamble.

First, he leveled up his new character to the maximum level, and then used his "old account" to scavenge important materials in troublesome monster areas as much as possible. After that, he waited for the server shutdown announcement and spent money to buy items in the last month.

It's also because of [YGGDRASIL]'s decision to shut down the server.

Many players who hadn't left yet came to him, this "sucker."

Those sets of legendary equipment and rare materials from different worlds have long since filled many backpacks.

Even among the rare "world-class items," Suzuki Satoru has collected 92 to date.

The rest are either missing or are simply "twenty" hiding somewhere.

But he wasn't anxious. Instead, he just set up a stall in front of the Nazarick Great Tomb Guild every day and waited for people to come to him.

However, the closer it gets to the server shutdown time, the fewer people there are.

Now you hardly see anyone willing to sell anything.

"Ugh"

Deciding to log off and take a break, Suzuki Satoru returned to that oppressive reality.

1:00

He took off the device, looked at the time displayed, and sighed.

Even if you're prepared to gamble everything, you can still feel anxious and uneasy.

The job I couldn't quit is proof of that.

"Rest first, you can still sleep for three hours."

Here, getting up at 4 a.m. to prepare for work is common sense for ordinary people.

Working 7 days a week is mandatory, and holidays are out of the question; you might only get one occasionally.

Suzuki Satoru lived in a regular apartment in a working-class neighborhood, not in a mansion.

Even places where the door hinges are bent and pushing the door makes a sharp, eerie sound.

Although replacing it with a new one would solve the problem, he felt it was still too wasteful.

There's no need to spend extra money on a door that you only use to and from get off work every day.

Or perhaps interpreting that eerie, creaking sound as a welcome homecoming is a rather unusual and interesting phenomenon.

Most importantly, it cannot be denied that this sound can be used as a burglar alarm. If a thief were to come to this dilapidated apartment, no one would think that there would be anything valuable behind the door that makes this sound, right?

He fell silent and drifted into a deep sleep.

"."

Completely unaware that a ghost was actually following them.

What a place to miss!

Ainz looked around the room, then his gaze fell on a family photo on the table showing a man and a woman holding a baby.

I reached out to pick up the photo, but all I saw was my hand passing through it.

My feelings are incredibly complicated.

He floated outside the window with a terrifying appearance, but could only be a spectator.

There's nothing we can do.

"If this is my punishment..."

"Then let me see what your future holds."

.........

"Still not working?"

Exhausted, Suzuki Satoru returned home the next day and logged back into [YGGDRASIL]. Looking at his grayed-out friend list, he sighed.

please.

Even just once would be fine.

Even just one minute here is fine.

Even if I'm only willing to stay for a few seconds, that's fine.

I sent several emails to my former friends, but the results were far from satisfactory.

Almost no longer online

Like the guild 【YGGDRASIL】 which is facing server shutdown, the guild "Ainz Ooal Gown" has also reached its end.

Even when Suzuki Satoru sends messages offline, it's difficult for him to get a response from people.

It's already become the norm.

Even though it's going to end in two days, I still feel a sense of loss.

disturbed?

Ainz, who had been floating to the side, remained silent.

How could he not know that Suzuki Satoru was merely "struggling in his death throes"?

They fantasize about leading everyone in the guild into a new world.

But friends entangled in reality cannot understand.

No matter how loudly you shout or how eloquently you give your reasons, you cannot change this fact.

That trust and expectation will never be answered.

Even among friends who are both supreme beings, this is true.

Moreover, whether or not one can actually travel to another world is still uncertain.

Suzuki Satoru himself lacked confidence in such an ambiguous matter.

Otherwise, they wouldn't be dragging their feet on their jobs and not daring to resign.

This is perhaps what adults are like.

Always want to leave yourself a way out.

But it's not incomprehensible.

After all, even if you make preparations in advance, if you can't reach the other world, then it all becomes a laughable delusion.

He returned to being an ordinary employee after achieving nothing.

Or perhaps, I'll start a new life in another world.

Ainz wanted to see Suzuki Satoru's "end".

And that wait didn't last long.

The countdown to the shutdown of [YGGDRASIL] is not far off.

.........

"I didn't expect Momonga to still be around, but has a new character taken over?"

"Ah, it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing."

"I saw your email, so I took some time to come online before going to bed tonight."

"I am truly grateful, Helo Helo."

"It's not that serious. We haven't seen each other for two or three years, have we?"

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, his friend Hero logged on at 22 PM on the day the server shut down, and Suzuki Satoru was overjoyed.

There is still hope.

"Nothing has changed at all here."

"Flying Squirrel, you've really worked hard."

"Sorry, I have to log off and go to sleep. I have to get up early tomorrow."

"Wait!"
