Rested last few days, or tried to at least. Cold still lingering but mostly with a cough now.
Felt good enough to write a chapter for you guys. It will be a leeway to the appearance of one of the 41 Supreme Beings! Care to guess who? I'll say it upfront, it isn't Ainz.
But I'll still try to keep up my 3-5 chapters a week during my resting.
Tomorrow's also anticipated to be my last heavy work day as well for a while, so work will be back to normal, yay!
But with that said, hope you guys have had fun spending with your families through the holiday, and happy belated new year!
This will be the first chapter of 2021! Don't forget to drop a power stone and leave comments below!

Pssshhh.
A light hissing sound echoed around the dark room. Nao's gaming helmet popped off his head, receding back towards the top of the long black reclining chair, one of many which could be seen in the dark room.
His chair was currently facing the south wall, as did the others. Eight monitors seemingly about forty inches wide were mounted on the walls, overlooking the chairs.
Upon having a closer look at these eight monitors, it split up into several areas. One had a player's avatar located in the top left corner of its screen. Around the player's avatar had its stat screen, equipment layout and items, and their item box. For the players that specialized in magic, their spells panel could be seen further beneath that
In the bottom left were the available chats. It was split into many types. [Public], [Private], [Party], [Guild], [System], [Raid], and [World] chatrooms. Each one was pretty self explanatory. Moreover, both [Guild] and [Raid] were currently locked with a keyhole symbol. [Party] was grayed out on a couple of the screens while it was lit up for the others.
If one looked closely, regardless of what player's screen one focused on, the [Public] chat was currently getting spammed with messages, lots of jealousy emoticons and like. This was likely due to Nao and Isabella clearing one of the nine starter dungeons.
Moving to the bottom right of the screen showed miscellaneous icons such as Live Call, Live Video and so on. There was also an icon that allowed a direct connection to the Rising Phoenix private chat, but would require pausing Yggdrasil to enter it.
As for the remaining top right of the screen, it was the player's actual footage of Yggdrasil. Every so often they would flash in colorful lights or show different scenic areas.
As for who these players were, they were none other than the girls of course. Nao's window screen reflected stillness, as nothing was currently being done on it, or more specifically his character.
Reason being, well Nao finally decided to call it quits for the first day of the game release. Over eight hours passed in a blink of an eye, since the game officially released at midnight.
Nao's eyesight was blurred for several moments after his helmet was taken off. The console attachment, which acted as his Arcane Eye, also automatically swerved backwards a bit, locking into place.
Nao didn't say anything until his eyesight was adjusted back to normal. After he was able to see again, he soon saw his own monitor. Player Metatron couldn't be seen on it.
Thankfully it wasn't his first time using this chair. He along with Chelsea gained experience in many virtual reality worlds through that neural nano-interface, which connected directly into a player's drains. That's why a person needed to have a hole drilled at the nape of their neck to ensure a successful connection, the neck was the fastest and direct route to the brain without damaging it. The neck also served as the connector to connect to the rest of the body's nervous system.
It definitely felt like an out of body experience during Nao's first few times using it, but Nao got used to the feeling. Nowadays he only gets a blurry vision that lasts a few seconds before they get adjusted back to reality.
Nao also did a test using his Divine Energy and he actually found out that by using it, Divine Energy actually neutralized the side effects of virtual reality! It also acted as good practice if he wanted to exhaust his Divine Energy during his gaming hours.
Speaking of Nao's Divine Energy, it actually never left after Nao created his Second Avatar. Nao didn't need to ascend to godhood twice. Once he became a Saiyan God in the DBZ Plane, his energy underwent a mutation and completely converted into Divine Energy.
So while now was Human in the Overlord Plane, he could still exercise it, as well as his mastered affinities! He no longer ages and receives other beneficial effects of a godly constitution. As a result he would to carefully choose creating future avatars in case he wanted to start younger.
Nao didn't have plans for that in the Overlord Plane, but in the Pokémon Plane and Trails Plane, it's likely he would be starting life anew from birth thanks to those visions he received. Nao was thinking of having Rebirth introduce a function that sets a limiter to seal his Divine Energy until he becomes a certain age.
But that would have to be set for later. Nao shook his thoughts away and immediately got out of his chair. Reason being is he heard two 'Psssh' sounds echo not long after his did. One belonged Isabella's chair.
She did experience VR before but that was back when she was still a child. She immediately felt a wave of dizziness and blurriness despite her sturdy body. That lasted for a few seconds, a similar duration to Nao's but the effects were somewhat worse.
The moment she regained her vision, Isabella saw Nao next to her chair. Nao extended his hand, letting Isabella place her hand on his palm, albeit a bit wobbly.
She felt a bit weakened as she moved her legs, which were also wobbly. After moving her legs trying to stand up, her feet gave out and collapsed head first into Nao's chest.
