Princess and her knight(Overlord AU)

Zesshi heaved a deep sigh as she watched the dead body of the man before her. There was a sense of melancholy in her. She couldn't help but think that she may have lost the only chance at killing her father, but what's done is done.

"Beautiful elf, huh?"

She whispered as she touched her pointed ears, feeling slight disgust as she did so, she couldn't really understand why he'd call her a beautiful elf, those elf ears of hers were disgusting to look at.

Deciding not to dwell on such a matter she turned her head towards the sword, and examined it, It certainly was a beautiful blade, and by a simple glance, she could also tell that just like the Scythe on her hands, it probably is made of a metal that doesn't exist in this world.

She placed her hand on its Hilt before, making sure her grip was firm before she pulled, but unfortunately, the sword didn't budge.

"hmm"

She hummed in curiosity. She was about to put more strength in her pull, but she saw her comrades approaching her, and she decided to wait for the strongest human to try and pull the sword out.

It took little time for them to arrive before her, it wasn't the entire black Scripture that was dispatched to this mission but half of them, The captain of the scripture wasn't present, which created a sort of weird atmosphere between Zesshi and the other members.

When most of them joined the black scripture, it was Zesshi who was tasked with "breaking them in" as it were, as a sort of initiation process, which led to some of the members having a type of fear response when around her.

"Master Zesshi Zetsumei, are you alright?! Do you need some water to drink?"

A woman with a giant black hat that nearly covered her entire face spoke with a concerned tone in her voice, she had long blue hair and wore what looked like women's sleepwear with mismatching socks, her attitude towards Zesshi caused the others to inwardly cringe, while Zesshi simply ignored her.

"So he didn't take your offer, huh?"

The strongest human was the next to speak, deciding to move on with the conversation and ignore the shameful behavior from Infinite Magic. He looked over the dead body. There was an oddly small amount of blood, considering he saw Zesshi pierce through his chest.

"unfortunately, do me a favor and try and pull that sword out"

She commanded the man, cousin the other to look at her quizzically, some wondering if this was a test of sort, Strongest human did as he was commanded, he gripped the Hilt with both hands, he then tried to pull it out but to no avail, shocking the people present.

"You didn't use enough strength. Use all your strength!"

Zesshi commanded, and Strongest Human obliged, veins appeared on his arms and forehead and his body glowed as he put his all into pulling the sword off the ground but unfortunately it was to no avail, the sword didn't move an inch.

Zesshi frowned as she guessed what was probably happening. However, she decided to leave, her job was done, and the cardinals would have to decide what to do with this.

"One of you will stay behind while the rest of us return to the theocracy and report this"

She could order Infinite magic to analyse the sword, but there could be a type of trap to prevent that, so instead, she decided to leave the issue to the cardinals.

"I'll stay behind, but what do we do with the body? Shouldn't you take it with you?"

"No, we need to be cautious. The fact the sword won't budget may be related to the body, so just look over it and wait for orders from the cardinals"

She said, and everyone nodded.

"I'll stay with him in case something happens"

One man army spoke, He was a young blonde man with red eyes, bearing a striking resemblance to Clementine.

Hearing his words, Zesshi simply waved her hand dismissively as she walked away, not caring if he stayed or not. The rest followed after her.

…..

"Loser!"

A floating ball of light said to Arthur as he also floated in a dark and empty space. The statement held a great deal of animosity and anger, and he could not entirely disagree.

"You should have used Excalibur and evaporated that bitch but no, you had to be indecisive, what the hell was that?!!"

The ball berated and Arthur could not deny its words, his eyes held a intense sense of sadness, what the ball of light was saying was true, it wasn't just that he got indecisive either, it was also because he was thinking with his Dick, a part of him wanted to have Zesshi as a part of his harem.

"That's your fucking problem, just because she was a fiction character you liked doesn't mean you should disregard danger just so you could have your stupid power fantasy, you're such a fucking loser!!"

"Wasn't that the point of this reincarnation thing, so I can have my power fantasy?"

"Yeah but that doesn't mean there's no danger, or that you can't get hurt or that everyone passable beautiful woman is a potential harem member, You're a fucking Bum, a bozo and Idiot, a loser!!"

"OKAY I GET IT, JESUS CHRIST!!"

Arthur shouted back, not particularly liking being berated in such a way, especially by his own self, he'd rather not develop a sense of self hatred after this.

"Shut the fuck up, but fine, I'll stop. I can't believe I sacrificed by personal life memories and name just for a chump like you to become me, also you should have fucked both Renner and Lakyus the moment they showed interest in you"

"I mean you're not wrong but I'd appreciate it if you didn't speak about them like they're some kind of fuck toys"

Arthur responded as he adjusted his position taking a more criss cross sitting position,although that only made his body to spin sideways while floating.

The floating ball rolled its nonexistent eyes as it responded.

"Whatever!"

"Where are we anyway, and what do you mean you sacrificed your personal memories and identity"

He asked.

"We're in your mindscape, you would have achieved a domain expansion if you didn't pass out"

"Holy shit!! What?!!"

The ball explained and Arthur could not hide his shock, to think he missed such an opportunity.

"But wait, why is it empty? Isn't there supposed to be my innate domain in here"

"Typically yes, but you're practically a blank slate without any personal information of who you are, aside from your knowledge of earth and anime as well as some remnants on my personality but otherwise you're blank. Hence why it's empty"

The ball explained and Arthur nodded in understanding.

"So you'll need to actually construct what you want you're DE to look like and how it would work"

"That makes sense but you still have yet to answer my question about the memories thing and what are you?"

He asked as he already tried to guess why he would need to sacrifice his name and personal identity if he got wishes.

"well that's where you're wrong, I didn't get wishes, all I got a was roulette and the ROB that was in charge was going to send me here with nothing if I didn't sacrifice anything"

"so you had to sacrifice your name and personal memories without affecting your knowledge"

Arthur surmised, Which made sense why he could remember much about himself and it explained why he couldn't say his name when he wanted to tell Renner.

"that's the gist of it, thankfully sacrificing your personal memory and name was worth a few spins on the roulette"

The floating ball explained and Arthur nodded once again.

"and to answer your other questions, since I had sacrificed my personal identity and name, it was required that there be some sort of remnant of my old self to help you but that ROB was an asshole, he made is so I couldn't do anything to help you or contact you, you're lucky we're even able to talk right."

"I see, so what now? Are we stuck here?"

"no, you just have to wake up, the sacrifice I made was worth like 10 roulettes, you were also supposed to get all our powers from the get go but again that ROB was an asshole."

"So I didn't awaken new powers based on my needs or desires?"

"no, they just happened to manifest when you needed them but you should awaken them all once you wake up, although you will get a splitting headache"

"How am I alive? Zesshi kind of impaled me Through the chest"

"you're lucky you manifested as Skill that saved your ass, look"

The orb said before it pointed up, causing Arthur to look up and see a bunch of floating words, like some sort of status screen or list, the list showed all the skills he knew he had and others he didn't know about.

The ones he knew about were lit green while the ones he didn't were white, however there was one he didn't know he had that was lit green.

"Holy Shit!!

"Yup!"

The orb said popping the P, the skill or rather curse Arthur was looking at, was something he remembered from an obscure but otherwise cool Manga series.

"The Divine Curse of Inviolability"

Seeing that skill he became both excited and felt a great sense of dread, the curse was something that would allow him to never get hurt or die, however the catch was that if he got his arm cut off his arm would remain intact but the pain of getting your arm cut off would remain.

"this is great but also fucking hell!!!"

"yeah, at least now you won't die but you can still feel pain, so don't let yourself get tortured, also when you wake up you'll feel the pain of getting impaled through the chest, bye"

The orb said as Arthur was engrossed looking at the list of skills, seeing two more skills that made him smile, aside from the Divine Curse of Inviolability he also had the flying Raijin technique and he knew that would be very useful and another skill that practically guaranteed that he'll never lose ever again.

"Wait, you're leaving?"

"Yeah"

The orb said as it slowly faded into wisps of white particles, leaving Arthur by himself in his mindscape

"Now how do I wake up, or should I construct my domain first?"

He thought while also simultaneously thinking of a good way to get his revenge on Zesshi Zetsumei. He got careless, but next time, he won't be indecisive. He'll have to show her from the start that he's not to be trifled with and make her regret attacking him.

Now that he was alone, Arthuclenchined his fist, and his face morphed into an expression of pure rage. This was his first loss in this world and didn't like it, not one bit.

"Next time Zesshi you bitch!!, Next time!!!"
