Previous thread:>>252129

You close your eyes and take a deep breath. This doll is no match for you. You just have to focus and go beyond simple observation.
You need to analyze every single small detail. You need to pay attention to the enemy effigy’s every moment, waiting for a minor mistake that you will later exploit. You will capitalize on its neglect, and win.
“There’s no way I will lose and die here”, you resolutely claim.

Five minutes later your effigy is standing on the ground, torn to pieces. Guess observation wasn’t enough.
“You did well, potential Master”, the guiding voice praises you. “And now…”
“Now it’s time to die, isn’t it?”, you resignedly inquire.
“Er… not really. See, I was the guy controlling that puppet. I couldn’t reasonably expect you to win, but you’ve given me a run for my money. I’ve analyzed your preferences and your fighting style, and I have a Servant ready for you”.

A blast of light blinds you temporarily. A beautiful blonde woman appears in front of you. Clad in an armor that seems to be made out of boiled, hardened brown leather, with some white fur around her neck and on her shoulders, a short knife hanging on her side and quiver behind her back, she’s gazing at you defiantly with her bow in her left hand.

“I suppose you’re my Master. I’ve seen your fight and you look promising. Do not disappoint me”, she coldly states.
Suddenly, you’re invaded by pain coming from your left hand. A red tattoo is being imprinted over it.
“Oh yeah, I do so apologize for the pain resulting from this procedure. I am afraid it’s unavoidable”, the voice explains. “Also, you will probably pass out”.
“Nonsense”, you reply. “It’s just a slight ache. How could I possibly…”

Everything goes black, and when you come to, you’re in the infirmary.
“Guess I did pass out”, you admit. Your Servant materializes next to you.
“There’s no shame in that, Master. That pain broke warriors much stronger than you, it’s already an impressive feat that a weakling like you endured it for so long”.
“That doesn’t sound like much of a compliment, uh… Yeah, how should I address you?”
“I’d prefer it if you could address me by my Servant class. I suppose it’s obvious which one I belong to”, she responds.

>Every Servant ever is tsundere
No, if you actually went for option B, your Servant would have politely yet firmly asked you to cease that. I prefer to portray realism when I can and I am not really fond of the whole 'ETCHIE SHE NAY' thing.

============
“Well it takes some grade A stupidity not to realize you’re an Archer, by now”, you confidently claim. “That’s a good class, isn’t it? It’s one of the Knights”
“Indeed, and although I am not an Heroic Spirit of renown, I can assure you, Master, I am more than capable of winning this war”.
“Excellent. Is the nurse here?”

“Not really, Master. She left after she made sure you were doing ok. She said she had something to take care of, and that’s basically all I know”.
“What an outstanding professional. Putting the safety of her patients first and foremost, this heroic nurse, who we decided to keep anonymous for privacy’s sake, works 25 hours a day compelled by an higher sense of justice”, you sarcastically remark.
“Now now Master, you don’t know about that. You should suspend your judgement until you learn more about her”
“Sloppy job, Archer, sloppy job. I will heed your advice, but rest assured, I won’t forget about this”.

You slowly sit up on the bed you were laid upon, stretching your arms and yawning. Putting your feet on the ground, you make sure you can stand. “So far so good. Archer, can you bring me to the person in charge of this?”
“I think so”, she replies.
Leading the way out of the infirmary, Archer expertly navigates the corridors until you’re in front of a strange guy wearing an even stranger mask.

‘This school has a serious Chuuni problem’, you reflect.
“Oh, I see you’ve regained consciousness”, the strange man greets you. In that instant, you recognize that voice.
“You… you’re the trial guy, aren’t you?”
“Indeed, I am. I am known by many names: the Overseer, the Creator, or even Master Momonga…”
“How delectable” you cut him off. “Do you also happen to have an easy name I won’t forget and will not make me cringe in embarrassment every time I utter it?”
“In that case, simply call me Ains, young Master”
“The name’s Hakuno”
“Hakuno. Did you come here to ask me something?”

“Yeah, let’s have like, a quick rundown of the basics. Where am I and what happened to my old school, for example?”
“That was just a mockery, a farce. None of the memories you possessed when you attended your school were real, and by now, your actual memories should have been restored. It was, if you will, a preliminary test. Those who did not discover the cover up were deleted from the system, those who did became Masters just like you”
“Actual memories? I think you’ve got this wrong, Ainz. The only memories I possess are those from when I was a student”
“Is that so? Could it be, then, that you were not one of the candidates, but an NPC instead?”
“You tell me, I have no clue”
“I see. Certainly this was not within our plans, but if the system accommodates it, then it sees something valuable in you. For this, you should rejoice, young Master”

“The name’s Hakuno”
“I know. In any case, as you probably understood, we’re inside a computer simulation of the Holy Grail War. Naturally, by computer I don’t mean the trifling object you probably interacted with during your lifetime, but a complex machine the size of the Moon”
“That’s cool and all, but what if, like, I wanted nothing to do with this? What happens to those who withdraw?”
“They’re treated as if they were defeated”
“Which begs the question: What happens to those who are defeated?”
“They’re deleted from the system”

“Deleted? As in, killed?”
Ainz shrugs. “I have no clue what happens to people who are eliminated. The only thing I know is that they no longer remain inside the system. It might be death after all. But what should concern you above everything else is what happens to the victor”
“My name’s Hakuno”
“I mean victor as in the winner”
“Ah. So what happens to the winner?”
“He gets to access the Holy Grail, an omnipotent wish-granting machine”

“That sounds neat, I can think of a couple of wishes I want granted. So what do I do to win? Defeat all other Masters?”
“Correct. Observe, analyze, then fight. Information is the key to victory, as well as training. You can train anytime in the Arena, where minions I created roam free. Oh, by the way, this belongs to you”
Ainz hands you a device that looks like a smartphone.
“It’s your Matrix”
“Cool, does this turn me into Neo?”
“Not really, but it contains a lot of useful information. For example, you might want to locate your room. Masters who keep advancing through the rounds of the Holy Grail War obtain a room of their own, but for now you’ll have to share your quarters with a roommate”.

“How fantastic. Thanks for the information, Ainz”.
“It’s pleasant to hear some sincerity in your voice, Hakuno. I wish you the best of luck, and remember that I am always available if you need more basic information”.
You nod in his direction and excuse yourself.

Right now your priority is looking for Kirigaya and locating your apartment. Following the direction of the matrix, you arrive in front of what used to be class 2-F. The door opens and you step inside.

A guy about your age is staring at you. His rotten eyes are like those of a dead fish, and being scrutinized by them makes you feel rather uncomfortable.
“Uh. So who are you?”, he asks rudely.

>Your roommate, Hakuno.
>Who am I? Who are you!

“Not you thankfully”, you retort.
“Woah there, buddy. Sensing a lot of hostility from you. Don’t appreciate it. Besides…”, he continues leaning forward to examine you “I don’t think we’re that different”.
Being stared at by those rotten eyes makes you regret the day you bashed feminists complaining about stare-rape. It apparently is a real thing, after all.

“Oh, are we not? And what makes you think that?”
“Have you even observed the other guys in this competition? They’re like… wait a minute, you mean you haven’t? You’re a noobie, aren’t you?”
“That depends. How long has this thing gone on for?”
“It hasn’t even begun, but the selection process itself lasted a couple of days. I think it will end today, and the pairings will be announced later. I used this time skillfully, observing all my rivals. That’s what gives me an edge”.

“Yeah, you be careful with that, I almost got cut. More importantly, what do you mean by pairings?”
“Hm? You don’t even know about that? I mean it’s quite straightforward, you get assigned an enemy and you fight until death. Your matrix will alert you when that happens. Don’t bother me with such inane bullshit anymore, please. This should be Ainz’s job, not mine”.
“Charming”
“Don’t blame me, you shot first. Not that I would have been nice to you in any case, but I would have at least recognized you as a fellow extra”.

“A fellow extra?”
He snorts. “Right. You haven’t seen the other guys, I keep forgetting. You see, every other boy in this competition is exceptionally handsome, or talented, or charismatic, or dependable. Or all of the above. If we put this piece of information together with the fact that there are a lot more girls than boys, we reach one obvious conclusion”.
“And what would that be?”
“We are in a sort of Holy Grail War of Teenage Romcoms. Yeah, we were summoned by the God of Romantic Comedies to fight to the death. I don’t know for what purpose, all I know is that clearly me and you are extras. We’re not as good as the rest of them, we’re merely cannon fodder, food for bigger fishes. We’ll be defeated eventually, but you can be sure I will give those bastards hell”.

You can’t stand his whining anymore. You’d do anything to make it stop. Maybe you should ask him a question.

“Cool beans famalamborghini, do you want to take a break from blaming your poor life decisions on more successful people and watch the American movie ‘Robin Hood: Men in Tights’ with me?”
Your roommate scratches his chin pensively, seriously considering your offer.
“I mean, why not? It will be a couple more hours until the arena opens. Shall we head to the Audio-Video Room?”

“Sure, lead the way”, you promptly respond.
As he gets up from the bed, you have the time to observe your room a bit more in detail.
It’s perfectly specular in the middle, with one bed, one wardrobe and one bathroom on each side. It looks like the computer has simply adopted the most convenient way to generate a room for two.

Involved as you were in the discussion with your roommate (and his rotten eyes), you didn’t notice that Archer disappeared. You start looking left and right, but with a reassuring voice, your Servant tells you that she just changed into spirit form.
“It’s to avoid giving out additional information to any potential opponent. Only you can hear my voice, of course. Have a good time with your roommate, it might be the last opportunity you have for the foreseeable future”.

Finally, the boy comes out of your new room.
“Alright, the AV Room is this way”, he says unceremoniously. “The name’s Hikigaya, by the way. Not Hikki, not Hikigay, just Hikigaya”.
“Fair enough. I am Hakuno”.
Watching him walk is rather jarring. He keeps his hands in his pockets, which forces his back in a crooked position. If he weren’t absolutely unremarkable, watching him coming closer would make anyone uncomfortable.

This is nothing, however, compared to watching him smile and laugh during the movie. His sardonic smirk together with his eyes is more than enough to warrant inclusion in the registry of sex offenders. Even if he’s innocent.
This pleasant experience is suddenly interrupted by the buzzing of your matrices.
A message arrived, notifying you that the selection period is over and that the pairings have been revealed for the first round.

“Do you mind pausing the movie, Hakuno? I’d like to check out the bulletin board on the second floor and discover who is the poor bastard I have to put out of his misery”

>Yeah, that’s the wisest thing to do
>You can go, I want to finish watching this.

“Yeah let’s pause this immortal masterpiece, it saddens me so, but we have go check that bulletin board”, you regretfully agree.
You stand and follow Hikigaya back to the second floor, which, incidentally, is where your room is located.
A crowd has gathered around the board, and you both decide it’s better to wait than to fight to catch a glimpse. You rest against the wall, trying to observe the people around you.
Slowly but surely, everybody finds their opponent. You also realize that Hikigaya was right in his assessment: there are more girls than boys.

“Yo, Hakuno. I am going in, wish me luck”, your roommate tells you before diving into the crowd. You see him off with a slight nod.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appears.
“Kazuto?”, you call out to him.
He’s staring at you with a defiant expression, wearing clothes you’ve never seen before.
“Hakuno, you really did make it here. I wonder how. Well, not that it matters: you merely prolonged your life by a week”.

“Woah thanks for encouraging me bruh, I really feel rewarded for my efforts now. You see, I am here because I was looking for you and I was worried you got lost”
“Really? How tragic, then, that you will perish by my hands here, in seven days”, he replies smugly.
“Fuck you too, man. What’s with the trench coat? Have you started vaping?”
“You wouldn’t understand, Hakuno. These are the garments of a warrior. I recovered my memories: in the past, I survived through multiple death games like this one. The odds are in my favor. You don’t even have Code Casts, do you?”

“Right-o. Why don’t you go back to your room to listen to some Linkin Park? I will beat your ass if I find you in the Arena”, you threaten him, before moving towards the board. You mostly want to confirm that he’s not lying, but you might also ask Hikigaya his opinion.

You walk towards the board to double check on Kirigaya’s claims. Your name is standing next to one you do not immediately recognize.
‘Kirito’.
“Was that idiot making fun of me?”, you think out loud.
Then, you make the connection. KIRIgaya kazuTO. Kirito.
“Of course, he really does think this is a computer game, so he just went and changed his name. Ridiculous”.

Full of pent-up anger, you walk towards Hikigaya.
“Yo, Hikki. Have you found out who your enemy is?”
“I already told you: don’t call me like that. Anyway, I don’t see how this concerns you”.
“It doesn’t. I was trying to be nice, I guess”.
“You, nice? Don’t make me laugh, Hakuno. What is that you want, really?”

“I found out the guy I was looking for, my ‘friend’, for a lack of better term, is my opponent in the next round”.
“Ah, that must suck. Not that I’d know, I have no friends”.
“I don’t particularly mind fighting him anymore. He turned out to be a shit cunt anyway, so I am not too bothered with the idea of killing him”.
“Now you’ve piqued my curiosity. Who is the guy?”
“Kirigaya Kazuto. He goes by the name of Kirito here”
“Kirito, huh? The guy with the trench coat and the sword. He looks fairly competent, probably he comes from a battle harem kind of show. Underestimate him at your own peril”, he concludes.

“I guess. What about you, do you feel like sharing your rival’s name now?”
“Itou Makoto. He’s the weakest among the strongest, or the strongest among the weakest, if you will. Girls seem to love him for some reason, and he isn’t even anything special. Do you know what I really can’t seem to figure out?”
“How could I, if even you don’t know?”
“There you go with the sarcasm again. Anyway, the point is that many romcom-harem comedy protagonists are entirely generic, except for the fact that they’re nice. Of course, in the real world, being nice isn’t mutually exclusive with being entirely generic, but we all know that the medium needs to pander to otakus. Now my point is, Itou isn’t even nice. There’s something fishy here, for sure”

“Oh yeah, there is. Like you thinking that this, somehow, is a romantic comedy. There’s nothing romantic or comedic here. Get your head out of your ass”
“Once again you’re wrong, Hakuno. You see, this teenage romcom of mine is wrong just as I expected. I suggest you waste no more time with me and go check out the Arena, if you hold your life dear. Or go check out the commissary shop, you might find something useful there”.
Saying so, he waves his hand noncommittally and leaves.

The arena sounds inviting enough, but making preparations is probably just as important

“Oi, Hikigaya, don’t be a pussy and die before we finish watching that movie”, you scream at him.
He just raises his hand and waves it, as if to say: right back at you.
And he makes a point, so it’d be better to head to the commissary first and the arena then.

The commissary is located in the basement, where the cafeteria used to be.
Indeed, it still looks like one. Food and meals are on display in showcases, paired with a price tag.
There is, however, a new cash desk that you’ve never seen before.
As you approach it, the cashier greets you with something that sounds more like an ill omen than an invitation to purchase.

“Welcome to the Tsukiamaku High Commissary. In this hellish world, money conquers all”.
“Er… right, but I don’t think I have a penny on me”.
“That’s not true. Check your matrix, all participants are given some starting cash to stock up on equipment”
You whip out your device, and check that indeed your account isn’t empty at all.

“I see the direction is implementing that Helicopter Money policy. Good on them. In any case, can I see what you have for sale?”, you ask
“You can access the menu directly on your matrix, then you can come to me with the final order. If you need any clarification, I’ll be glad to help”.

Still looking at your phone, you casually sit down at the nearest table, browsing through the list of purchasable items.
“Error: this is my table”, a young, female voice reproaches you.
You lift your gaze from your portable terminal and stare at her. She looks no older than 14, with deep crimson eyes and silver hair.
“Isn’t that a bit too much, little one? Taking a full table for yourself? Where are your parents?”
“Error: I am here on my own. Leave my table”
“Fine, fine, I am leaving. But I am also calling the CPS on your parents, this shit needs to stop”, you whine as you leave the table.

Standing up, you keep browsing the list, which divides items into two subcategories: Consumables and Formal Wear.
“Excuse me miss”, you call out to the cashier. “What is a Formal Wear?”
“Didn’t Mister Momonga tell you? It’s a special kind of clothing that allows the Master to use Code Casts, which in turn makes Servants stronger”.
For now, only two pieces of formal wear are available: Honor Student Clothes, an MP-boosting uniform, and the Scent of the Southern Wind, a tool that heals your Servant and restores some of its MPs.
As of right now, your matrix reports that you could use the Scent of the Southern Wind only once before running out of mana. Buying the Uniform and the Wind jointly would be the best course of action, but you don’t have money for both.

>Buy only the Uniform
>Buy only the Scent
>Buy some consumables instead
>Start saving money.
>>
>>272432
>>Buy some consumables instead
That way people will underestimate us at a glance and may serve us well for the first week or so
>>
>>272432
>>Buy only the Scent
>>
>>272432
>Buy some consumables instead
I assume we earn money by killing these losers?
>>
>>272432
>>Buy only the Scent
>>
>>272432
>>Buy some consumables instead

We can look into buying the two pieces of formal wear after we earn more cash.
>>
>>272432
>>Buy some consumables instead
>>
>>272432
>>Buy some consumables instead
>>
>>272432
>Start saving money.
We should save up here guys. If we earn enough money to get the MP booster AND the scent, we will get 2 heals and we still have that one from the start. After all, its only the first level
>>
You decide that buying a couple of consumable healing items is probably the best course of action. Lasting longer in the arena means being able to train for longer, and that’s especially convenient if minions happen to carry virtual cash.
The cashier hands you the selected items, and their price is detracted from your account.

Satisfied with your purchase, you head upstairs. Ainz is standing in front of you, looking left and right, as if he were waiting for someone’s arrival.
“Hello, Ainz”, you greet him. “Who ditched you?”
“Ha ha, it’s not like you think, Hakuno. This person is just always chronically late”.
“Let me guess: the nurse”
“That’d be correct. And you? Are you heading for the Arena?”
“I am. I am feeling a bit anxious, but I am excited, too”.
“Do not worry too much. The Arena has been developed to create a challenging yet safe environment for every Master. As such, the Arena creates a different instance for every pair of users”.
“Pair of users, you mean Master and Servant?”

“No, Servants are not considered as users by the Arena, but as enemies. Needless to say, the AI behind the Arena is the AI behind the minions that populate it. Only Masters are users, thus only rivals can access a given instance of the Arena”.
You grin: you’ll be able to keep your promise to Kirito, after all.
“So what if my rival decides to settle the score with me there and then?”
“He will most likely not be able to. The Arena is engineered to stop any conflict between ‘enemies’, kicking the aggressor out after a minute. Only battles between the Arena (and its minions) and ‘enemies’ are allowed. Masters who break the rules receive a penalty”.
“Great”, you reply dejectedly. Looks like you will have to wait the entire week to beat him up. You elect to change the topic to something more relevant.
“Am I wrong in believing that minions have money on them?”
“You’re not”
>>
>>273228
“Awesome. I am going in, Ainz. So long, and thanks for all the fish”
“Take care”, he responds, as you head for the entrance.
The Arena is exactly where the magical barrier was in your former school. Two different levels are available, but one is locked.
You enter in the first one, and immediately recognize the minimalistic mazy style.
Undead creatures, oversized insects and ferocious animals roam free, eagerly waiting for their prey.

But today they’re the hunted, not the hunters.
Archer appeared by your side, nocked an arrow to the bowstring and shot the closest minion dead.
Your matrix rang and a small amount of virtual coins was credited to your account.
All this happened in the span of a few second, leaving you surprised.
There is no doubt Archer is much stronger than the doll you were carrying around in the preliminary selection.

Another arrow flies, this time hitting what looks like a wild boar between his eyes. The minion didn’t die, however, and recognizing the aggressor, wildly charged against your Servant.
You move away from its trajectory just in time, but the young woman suffers the full might of the blow.
A normal human would have been killed, but Archer seems merely bruised, while the head of the beast is lying on her lap.
The noise of a knife being pulled away, then the boar disappears as your matrix rings once more. Archer’s plan was a daring one: she endured the charge in order to get her chance to deal a mortal blow.

“Are you ok?”, you ask her.
She nods, her breath ragged. Maybe it’s time to use one of your items.

They won't be significant as the game will be more narration-based than stats based, but if you want I can generate them.
You'll learn about her NP/Abilities as the story progresses, just like in the game.

So how well did our character do in history, was a total nerd or he only knew about Japanese history and George Washington.

He was average. You will have internet instead of a shitty library though, so you can just input the things you know and hope it will shit out the right result.

Still better than Extra Hakuno, who miraculously knew about every single hero ever.

well, he kinda was part of the system, he coulda been pulling haxors.

Alright, let's see if our endless hours on the internet will be put to use.

You walk towards her, then extend your arm to help her up.
She grabs it and picks herself off the ground. “I am just a bit bruised, Master. Don’t sweat the little things, I will tell you when I need your support”.
Having said this, she nocks one more arrow and resumes the hunt.
When facing boars, Archer changes her technique: she aims for a leg first, and then for the head. This way, the wild beasts have no chance to retaliate. All the other minions die effortlessly however, so you rack up quite the hoard.

As you delve deeper into the maze, you catch a glimpse of a stouter-looking undead.
Your Servant stops, holding you back by the collar of your shirt.
“Let’s not go any further for today, Master. I sense danger”.
You nod. For today, you will trust her instincts. As you head back to the entrance, a bunch of minions you already slain respawn, forcing Archer to fight again. All in all it’s not that bad: she looks exhausted, but she’s not injured.
She sighs when you reach the entrance, both in relief and in satisfaction. “Good going, Master. Let’s keep this up”, she encourages you.

Upon returning to the school, you notice that night has fallen and no one is around anymore. Only the imposing figure of Ainz is visible at the end of the corridor.
“Were we really in the Arena for that long?”, you ask Archer.
“Not quite correct. The Arena is programmed to bring you back to the school during nighttime, no matter what. You can spend there an hour or 10, but you will always be back here at the same time”.
“I understand”, you respond, feeling tired all of a sudden. “I guess the nurse did ditch you after all”.
“Unfortunately he did. I hope he’ll come by tomorrow”.
“Let’s hope so. Have a good one, Ainz”, you say, taking your leave.

On the way to the residential area , you meet Hikigaya.
“How was the Arena, Dead Tuna?”
“I can’t complain. How about you, Tights Fetishist?”
“Piece of cake”.
You discuss how to divide the room (or more specifically, you each pick a side), and as soon as your head lies on the pillow, one last thought passes through your mind. ‘I FORGOT THE MOVIE ON THE THIRD FLOOR”

Your last thought from yesterday night is your first thought in the morning. You have to go recover the movie immediately, or… maybe you could check on the nurse, after all. All this mystery surrounding his figure made you curious
