Chapter 280 - 7: Racial Classes And Lore! (1/2)

Yggdrasil, a freely customizable DMMORPG with the ever so popular Norse Mythology. The game would soon stand above all other DNMORPGs, especially popular with what remained of Japan.

At present, within the White Palace.

Two connected rooms could be seen with various tech equipment. Sixteen monitors attached to the walls of the black marble. Sixteen full body chairs where one could rest their back on spread across the two rooms. Eight in one, Eight in the other. Air vents circulated cool air to keep the room constantly cool.

There were also a couple of desks in each room as well with a main computer. This computer connected to each of the monitors. Further toward the entrance were two round tables where discussions could take place. These two rooms are the Dark Rooms.

The very same rooms where Nao and the girls would mostly stay in for the next twelve years!

As for Nao and Chelsea, the two would still go to their managerial jobs back down at Neo Tokyo. Nao currently has plans to gain experience with the Nine's Own Goal squad members before the guild Ainz Oowl Gown gets created. At that time he will split off to create his own with the girls.

And with said plans, he had to be both a heteromorphic player, and a functional member of society!

He didn't know when the rise of Nine's own Goal will happen, but thankfully he managed to secure sixteen copies of Yggdrasil.

It was currently the last day of Year 2125. Rumors of Yggdrasil's release started to spring up around two years ago, and now it was only one day away!

Nao and the girls could currently be seen in the left of two rooms, gathered around the table, calmly drinking tea while Tights and Michael stood by Nao.

After taking some sips of tea in silence, it was able to calm Nao down from the excitement of Yggdrasil's release. He also saw papers in each of the girl's hand, containing information of Yggdrasil, it's lore, class and job system, starting locations, how to cast spells, etc.

Basically the fundamentals of the game known as Yggdrasil.

Seeing everyone finished reading, he spoke out to the girls despite seeing Caulifla and Kale frown.

”So, everyone. Our main task is soon at hand. It's only a couple hours away till midnight, and Yggdrasil's servers will open then. I hope you guys are excited as much as I am!”

”Of course we are, Nao. I've not dealt much into virtual reality though, it was weird getting this nanotech stuff installed too. Will it really be enjoyable as you say?”, Elsa asked with a look of wonder in her eyes.

”You can bet your ass it's going to be fun! Virtual reality is insanely popular back at my home planet, Planet Nem! It can even be used to hold meetings for when we are too busy to meet in person.”, Isabella said happily.

”I'm curious to see if this virtual world will affect our Divine Energy. The place we came to is really pure, almost untapped even. Surely this came across your mind at least once, right Nao?”, Chronoa asked with wonder.

”It did. we can run some tests after we get used to this virtual world. Speaking of which, you all read the info I gave you guys. Does anyone have any questions?”

Hearing Nao ask that, the girls took a moment to look at each other, only to shake their heads no. Towa took the time to speak next.

”I've known some races who go crazy with their science and programming but I've not personally dabbled into these 'video games' myself. The notion of virtual reality is a big concept in itself. But what I do find interesting is its lore. Worlds where gods walk among mortals, tied together by the ashen tree of life, Yggdrasil. Sounds like you can become quick friends with it, my dear, hoho.”, Towa grinned as she looked at Chronoa.

”...And what's that supposed to mean, you stupid witch? Were here for the enjoyment of exploring something new! The game itself seems fun and lots of options to choose from. Mechanics-wise your explanations are simple and precise. I think most of us has decided on our racial classes too. But we do have nine starting locations, right? How are we going to split each other up?”

Hearing Chronoa ask that, Nao nodded.

”Pretty much. The starting locations will depend on the racial classes we choose. Anyone want go first on what they picked?”

However, before the first girl spoke up, everyone suddenly heard a slam onto the table, slapping the paper down on it. It came from none other than Caulifla.

”Now hold on here bucko, we've definitely got a problem here! Why the hell are Saiyans not listed as a race!? You all decided but Kale and I sure haven't!”

”B-big sis...you really don't need to get worked up...over this...It's not like we will truly change once this 'transfer'...happens...ummm…right, Nao?”

Kale still couldn't look at Nao directly and her cheeks blushed as she said that. Still, it caused Nao to smile seeing how correct Kale was.

”That's indeed correct, Kale. Thanks to Miya here, we will be able to retain our current appearances. While Miya may be human now, she can still use her powers of an AI. I'll leave it you to you when the time comes, Miya.”

”Of course, you can leave it to me, brother! I'll make it so we can transfer the skills and magic we learn but keep our current appearances before we transfer to the New World! You guys don't need to worry, the game character appearances will only be temporary.”

Hearing that, the girls sighed in relief while Vados and Towa looked at Miya curiously. Caulifla slouched back into her chair as well.

”Guess that can't be helped then, havin' Saiyans not exist here and all that. But you sound as if you already know what you want, Kale?”

”I do!”, Kale replied happily.

”Oi, and here you are keepin' it a secret! Tell your Big Sis, I'll choose what you want!”

After Caulifla said that, Nao saw Kale proceed to whisper into her ears, only for Caulifla to nod. Seeing the two now done, Nao continued to talk.

”Well looks like you guys know now. I'll reiterate what each of the nine locations are after you guys say what racial class everyone wants to be. That way it'll be easier to split us up. Why don't we start with who joined our family the earliest? I'll go last though, so Miya, you're up!”, Nao said with a smile.

”Sylph!”

”A heteromorphic class to start things off then. Elsa?”

”Why wouldn't I be anything other than an Elf? I'm glad this race is an option to choose from, fufu.”, Elsa said with a laugh.

”That'll be listed as a 'Human' class then. Isabella?”

”Much like Big Sister here and seeing how you're going to create a dragon sister for us later, I'll go with Succubus!”

”Another heteromorphic class. Got it. Sayuri?”

”Seeing how there are beastmen, of course I'm going to go with the fox clan!”

”Well there's our first Demihuman. Chelsea?

”I'm going to stick with the normal Human class. I'll be able to get tons of different job classes that way since I can already attest to my strength.”, Chelsea replied calmly.

”Got it. One more Human class. Tights?”

”Like Sister Chelsea, I'll be goin' with Human too.”, Tights replied with a smile.

”One more for the Human class. That totals 3 Human classes now. Eir?”

”I'll be going with harpy. I'm way too used to using my wings than anything else, I'm sure it'd be easy to adapt for me.”

”Another Demihuman. Do you want yours to be similar, Aht?”

Hearing Nao ask that, she bobbed her head up and down happily.

”Yes! Since beastkin are here I hope there would be a goat clan to choose from. If not my next option would be to choose the same as Sister Eir's.”, Aht replied happily. Eir couldn't help but rub her head after hearing that. As always the two were extremely close to each other.

Aht came from the land tied to the Historia Realm, Vainqueur, outside the DBZ Plane. Nao met Eir, who used to be Aht's personal guard back then. Eir got warped through a portal into the DBZ Plane by accident. The two reunited after Nao found out Eir was the bearer of the White Chronicle, and managed to head into the Historia Realm.
