Bone King: Starting from Becoming the Supreme

Two days later.

The ninth floor of the Great Underground Tomb of Nazarick - a luxurious suite.

“Ah—Yashiro-san, I really can’t look Albedo in the face anymore! Especially these past few days, Albedo has been deliberately getting very close to me, and she’s emitting a very pleasant fragrance—ah, it’s not that I want to smell it, it’s just that the smell is too… um, it’s not because of the smell, ah ah!! Anyway, Yashiro-san, I’m begging you, please help me think of a solution!”

"Eh, even if you ask me about this kind of thing..."

"Please! This is the request of my life!"

Looking at Momonga who lowered his head deeply, Yashiro sighed helplessly.

To be honest, he had no reason to refuse the request from his best friend.

Besides, he did have a way to help Momonga.

However, he originally planned to give the thing to Fei Shu after he destroyed the world's top combat power, the Rotten Coffin Dragon King.

But now it seems that the choice can only be left to him.

"Well, I do have a solution."

"Eh? Is that true?! Yashiro-san... No, Yashiro-sama! I just knew it..."

"Wait a minute, I'll show you something."

Yashiro reached his hand into the void and fumbled for a long time. After a surprised cry of "found it", he took out an oval object that was the size of a glass marble and crystal clear.

When he saw the true appearance of the object, Momonga immediately widened his nonexistent eyes and leaned forward.

"This is... Could it be!"

"Yes, this is the rarest world-class item for changing races in Yggdrasil - the World Tree Seed."

Seed of the World Tree.

Even though he was a flying squirrel, he had never seen the true appearance of this world-class item.

It is said that this item has the ability to change the race of even the undead at will.

In Yggdrasil, it is very easy and simple for players to specialize. You can do it easily without even spending any money.

The simplest method is to commit suicide and then re-level up by choosing your favorite profession.

However, in terms of changing race, you can only have the opportunity to change race by purchasing krypton gold items, and there are very strict judgments when changing races.

If it is judged as a failure, then the player's money will be wasted.

As for the specific judgment method, the official has not given a very clear statement.

However, in the gaming world, the undead's race transformation rate is undoubtedly the lowest.

Basically, out of a hundred undead players who change their race, ninety-nine of them will end in failure.

The game officials even received collective complaints from many opposite-sex players because of this incident.

But there is no doubt that it all ended up being 'ineffective'.

However, the World Tree Seed can easily break this judgment.

Even the undead who have the most difficulty changing their race can switch their race at will.

"So, Yashiro-san, the method you mentioned is..."

"Ah, of course, I changed into a race that can have sex, and then I married Albedo. Is there any other way?"

"Forehead……"

Momonga sighed, and like a dead body - well, in fact, only a skeleton was left, slumped on the luxurious sofa trimmed with gold thread.

He looked at the ceiling decorated with a very gorgeous chandelier with empty eyes.

Facing such a flying squirrel, Yashiro continued to speak.

"Actually, I don't want you to use it too early. After all, your skills [Eclipse] and [Death is the End of Everything] are born because of your racial level. If these two skills disappear due to the change of race, and we happen to encounter a strong enemy, it will be troublesome. After all, Momonga-san, you are the top fighter of our Great Tomb."

In fact, Yashiro didn't want Momonga to change his race so quickly because his two skills were a natural counter to the world's top combat power - the Rotten Coffin Dragon King.

The other eight generations of Dragon Kings were confident that they could defeat them easily.

But for the Rotten Coffin Dragon King, his 120 million undead followers alone are enough to give him a headache.

Of course, this doesn't mean he can't win.

As long as he is willing to spend a little more time, there are many ways to win.

Moreover, the world-class item he possessed could allow him to easily crush the Rotten Coffin Dragon King and his followers.

But instead of spending so much time on a dragon, it would be better to leave it to Momonga.

After all, the flying squirrel is quite restrained by the Rotten Coffin Dragon King in all aspects.

"Actually, I don't want to change my race so quickly. Besides, my current state is actually quite good. I don't need sleep, and I don't feel any negative emotions like fear. It's quite convenient for us who have just arrived in a strange world. What bothers me is that Albedo is an NPC created by Jade Record-san! I can't accept the idea of ​​dating an NPC."

"This... isn't quite right."

"what?"

"Don't you think that your thoughts are too rude to Albedo and the others?"

"Eh?"

Momonga had an incredulous expression on his face.

Yashiro leaned back and put all his weight on the back of the sofa.

As if mumbling to himself, he looked at the ceiling.

"We have traveled through time, and for unknown reasons, the NPCs have their own consciousness. Is this correct?"

"Um……"

"In that case, are Albedo and all the other NPCs now considered true 'individuals'? After all, they have their own ideas, can move, breathe, think, and even have 'life' characteristics. Even so, do you still only regard them as NPCs we created, or is it more appropriate to regard them as props?"

"I do not have……"

Momonga wanted to deny it, but a look from Yashiro blocked him into a dead end.

In fact, it is just as Yashiro said.

In his heart, he didn't actually regard Albedo and the other guardians as individuals in the true sense.

At least, not yet.

They were NPCs, and he, Yashiro, and the forty companions were the creators who created them.

He had even made preparations in advance. If he really encountered a danger that even the Great Tomb could not deal with, he would immediately escape with Yashiro.

As for the other NPCs, they symbolize their memories of their former companions.

But even if all of them were destroyed because of this, they would not be as important as the Eighth Generation in his heart.

Although he didn't want to admit it, this was exactly what he was thinking at this moment.

When Yashiro saw this, his aura changed.

His face once again returned to its usual gentle smile.

"Well~ I'm not blaming you. After all, it takes time for anyone to change their mind. But I think it would be better for you to pay more attention to the people around you. After all, Albedo and the others are no longer the original NPCs, nor are they a simple string of data. They are real individuals who have given their bodies and hearts to you."

When Momonga heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning.

There is a feeling as if one is suddenly struck by lightning and the whole brain becomes clear.

At the same time, an emotion called "guilt" grew in his heart.

Logically speaking, such negative emotions would not arise in the hearts of the undead.

But he really felt guilty in his heart.

"Yashiro-san, I understand. How should I put it? Although it may be a bit rude to others, but... it's great that it's Yashiro-san who stayed in the end."

"Hey! Don't say such cheesy things. My sexual orientation is normal. I will never marry anyone other than a cute girl in this life!"

"...I never said anything about being interested in you! Besides, my sexual orientation is normal. Also, marrying a girl, are you fantasizing about marrying into her family?"

"puff."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Outside the door unknown to the two, Albedo turned and left with a smile on her face.
