Chapter 1: The Fool, The Priestess, and The Chariot
It's been five days since our protagonist burn down a Goblins nest. Along the way he saved some girls and women that had fallen victim by the Goblins. It enrages the Necromancer Gunslinger, and he is glad his decision of burning every single Goblins insight and in hiding.
During those five days, he got out of that cave with the girls and women being held captive, and they are only wore some ragged clothes, as a makeshift cloak to cover their modesty. He got them back to their village, and was being praised by the village folks. The village chief was going to award him, but the Necromancer kindly refuses, and he only wanted to seek direction to a town that held a guild, since he have been wandering and searching for a guild to join as an Adventurer, which half of it is lie and the only truth is he is searching for the guild and also join as an Adventurer. He was glad that the people in this land are speaking in a mixture of Japanese and English, which surprises the young Necromancer, but doesn't bothered by it, since it makes him more comfortable to speak. It is also amazing how he have the option to make everything 3D to 2D, so he stick with the 2D since he likes to live in an anime vibe, but doesn't mean he is not comfortable with the 3D, still 2D is better.
Though one of the reason he didn't accept any reward is because of this.
Side Quest: Save the poor captives[Complete]
Main Objective:
-Save the remaining girls and survivors[Complete]
You received: +10 EXP, +50 Gold, Cloak

He didn't expect to earn a whole new skill in his first time from experimenting with his Necromancy magic.
"Man I got overboard from creating it, didn't expect to get this sick skill." The young man said it outloud, amaze about his fruits of labor.
At the fifth and also present day. Young man while wearing a cloak, that has moon design pattern on the tip of his hood, and two silver moons on his collars, which connected the string of the cloak, began to notice, he arrived at the town, after all the running and resting he did, he finally arrived.
'Finally I arrived! Man that was some long road, I was wishing that Gen should left me close to this town, but I am not complaining. I just save those poor girls and women, who are treated as a livestock by damn Goblins, get awarded by the Side Quest, gaining some free stat points, and get a new skill. All in all, it is a good win-win to me.' He mused at thought of the things he gained throughout his past 4 days.
'Today, I shall join the guild.' With that thought, the young man began to explore and search for the guild.
"Man this town is huge, but not as huge from where I came from, still huge though." The statement the Gunslinger said is true, the town is much bigger and wider, than the village he first encounter. Seeing this the young man is impressed, and thought that maybe the town has some good economy to run itself.
"Though why are the town's people are staring at me?" He noticed that some of the people included children looking at him in interest, then they stop what they are doing once he made eye contact with them, and get back to their own business.
"Oh yeah. I just remembered." Suddenly he remembered something he is been trying to do.
"MAP, Shop." The [MAP HUD] and suddenly a blue text appeared in front of him.
Reality's Shop searching...
Location Found!
The text disappeared and a symbol appeared on the map of a building, and the word [Shop]. It seems like it wasn't that far. The Necromancer proceeds to follow the direction where the symbol at. He didn't go through some empty alley, and then saw... A swirling blue portal.
"What the heck? Why is there a Portal here in the first place anyway? Does anyone will eventually saw it, and walk through it? Is this where the [Reality's Shop] at? Only one way to find out." We that comment, the young man proceed to walk into the Portal.
(Play OST/BGM: Moving on - Disgaea 5 - OST)
"Woah, this place... Is huge."
What the young man said is true. The place is truly huge, it can be describe as something, grand and professional look, as there are also red carpets on the floor. Also upon arriving, his cloak is now gone, and only his previous clothes he acquired from the cave are only present.
"Huh, are those people? Wait. Why are there Zombie Maid Girls? Are those giant talking penguin?... Wait. Are those Prinny's?" Atsushi was surprise, finding that the place is occupied by different people and monster race. Though he doesn't bothered by it, as it makes the shop interesting.
"Oh you're here already."
A voiced suddenly, caught the Necromancer attention, and look for it's source. He saw Gen standing in front of him, with his hoodie.
"Gen. Long time no see." The young man greeted.
"Same here." Gen replied with a nod. He then welcome the Gunslinger.
"Welcome Atsushi, to the Reality's Pocket Netherworld/Otherworld. Where you can interact with other citizens, and some of them that can help you get what you need. Shall we begin the having the tutorial and tour?"
Atsushi nod without hesitation, as he began to follow, the deity. They stopped at a Disgaea verse Cleric, that has two beds behind her and drawer that has medicine on top of it. There is a symbol of a syringe and a first aid box on top of her saying "Hospital".
"This is the Netherworld Hospital. When you're injured, and don't want to go to sleep to treat your wounds, come here to treat your wounds, if you want to be hasty."
The two began to move and saw two stands, that have been occupied by a Warrior class, that can be rank as a Fighter, and a Zombie Maid Girl. The Warrior's stand contains weapons like swords, bows, staffs, axes, and other weapon stuff. Then there is also the shelf that contains some tome, and boots underneath. The Warrior has a symbol of a sword, shield, and a helmet with the words of "Equipment" on it. The Zombie Maid Girl's stand contains, some potions, and other stuff, that seems to be food. Her symbol is a candy, a spiral lolipop, pudding, and a potion with the words of "Items".
"This is the Rosen Queen Co. They sell weapons, armor, and recovery items that you'll need for battle."
"Why does that Zombie Girl sell some delicious sweets for items?" The Necromancer asks, curious about as to why she sold them.
"I don't know, and to answer whether or not I created these people, is no. I just hired them to occupy this place. Though do you have a complaint about that?"
"None, since those are delicious sweets." The young man answered the question without hesitation.
"Oh same here. And I have to tell you, you should try one too." Gen offered to the Necromancer to try the sweets.
"Hmm... Maybe later."
Gen then showed a place beside the Items Shop, that has lockers, boxing gloves on top, punching bags that still has an axe and sword sticking on it, barrels, small dumbbells, a sign that said "SUPER TRAINING", and a purple haired girl who wore armor. The Armor Knight has a symbol of a silhouette in a fighting stance, with a green flaming aura on it, and the words "Skills" on it.
"Ignore that for now, it is still under maintenance." Gen stated to Atsushi, which the young man nod in understanding.
The two then moved again to a location, that has some kind of Altar, and a symbol that has a blue swirl portal of some kind, and different color orbs that circles it with the words of "Gacha".
"This is the Gacha Altar. It functions, as any Gacha you have played in many games. Gives you equipment, items, and skills from Common: E-D, Rare:C-B, Legendary:A, and Epic: EX. This Gacha also includes allies you can summon. Though I guarantee you it will be all luck base, and you can only use this once a week with three free tries."
"Hm, noted. Though I am surprise there are allies." The Necromancer mentioned his thoughts.
"Well, it is a Gacha, what would you expect?" The being questioned the young man, the reason about his surprise.
"Well, if I got to summon an ally, then isn't it be rude, if they just got summoned here without permission?" The young man replied with a query.
"No problem, we got that covered. We just have to give them the reason, as to why they being summoned, and let them decide to what they should do. It is either they leave or joined you." Gen replied, stating the process of summoning and the ally joining, which it made the dark haired young man sweat drop from that statement.
"Isn't it a waste of using my free summons, when they just leave?" The gunslinger stated his bafflement.
"Well you are right, but it depends on the person, if they are something like Angra Manyu, or an Evil Overlord. Then they are now bind to you, and won't apply any choice, gotta keep them from being loosed on causing mayhem and destruction."
"That seems a double-edge sword thing, but I think it is fair."
"Alright, then moving on."
The two began to move to a Prinny that has a swirl symbol with the words "Dimension Guide". On their right there is a swirling blue portal on it, and on their left there is a Thief, that has a symbol of a Sword, and platforms on it with the words of "Item World".
"When you want to go outside, please talk to the Dimension Prinny. If you want to go to the other worlds then talk to him, however it is currently unavailable due to you having no DLCs."
"Huh DLCs? What do you mean by that?"
"Well I will be answering your questions, but first." They then move to the Thief girl.
"The Item World is currently unavailable, so don't use it yet." The Necromancer nodded at the statement, Gen seeing this he continued speaking once again.
"There is also the Strategy Assembly, and the Recruiter which is not available, while Strategy Assembly, we will get on that later. Anyway when you approach these people, there stats will suddenly pop out, so need for the [Observe] to be used, if you are curious of there stats."
Gen then moved to a spot closed to the Netherworld Hospital.
"That is all. Now I will be here, if you have any questions, or buy or received your DLCs."
The deity suddenly, have a symbol of presents on it, and it said "Special Contents". The young man approaches Gen and asked a question.
"Does the equipment or items I buy here have any differences from other shops?"
"Yes they are, the equipment you buy here are Disgaea based meaning they are unbreakable, but not invincible, as they depend on with their Rarities and Attack stats, so don't use a wooden sword, against a stronger foe, except if you leveled it up from the Item World. There are also other equipment from other franchises, though they are expensive, and beyond your reach. Items are Disgaea based too, and also the same as equipment, it includes things from other franchises."
The young man found the answer satisfying, it gave an idea about the advantage and disadvantages he will face.
"Why did you leave me far away from the town, and the guild?"
"Well, sorry I didn't put you close enough, but it is so that no one will be suspicious of you, since you just appeared out of nowhere, and that will raise a lot of attention. Also you did gain some benefits of it, right?" Atsushi nodded, understanding what he meant.
"Do the people from the other side notice the portal?"
"No, only The Gamer, and his companions notice it, and no one else."
Atsushi was relieved that no one notice, the portal. It will be a problem if they do.
"Do I have any DLCs currently available?" It can be a stupid question, since he didn't purchase anything, but maybe there is some kind of bonus to be given.
"Yes there are... Three DLCs available." Answered Gen, which surprises the young Necromancer. He look up the DLCs, and found that, there are two Weapon Items, and one Special Quest to travel to another world, which he didn't mention the series(A/N: It is for a surprise!). He took the two Item DLC that will now available to be sold in the Equipment Shop.
The young Necromancer Gunslinger, satisfied with the answer and gains, proceeds to go to the Netherworld Portal. He had confirmed that it is the real deal and the same thing from other Disgaea games, though the Cleric seems to be acting flirtatious, or is it just him. After he had done it, he began to move to the Equipment Shop. He brought a [Short Sword] from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance game, which cause him 300 HL, 1 HL is equivalent to 1 Silver, so his money has been converted to 7500 HL. Now it is 7200 HL. Though it is amazing, how a menu of the weapon showed it's rank, and attack. The information showed from the [Short Sword] is this.
[Short Sword] - Rank E+ - LvL: 1 - Durability: Disgaea and other Game Logic or Unbreakable - ATK: 22
Description: Though lacking in destructive power, this sword is light and easy to use.
With that he is now on the Item Shop, to get [Throwing Knives]... His having a hard time remembering how much it cost, and assuming it is 70 HL(A/N: There is no wiki for these Items, I can't even find a gameplay who shows Items and costs).
"Excuse me, miss." The Maid turn around to the Necromancer, successfully drawing her attention. "I am here to buy an item, if you don't mind."
"Oh hello there, sir. Welcome to the Rosen Queen Co., Pocket Netherworld Branch-" She stopped frozen as she looked, at the young man. A blush forming, if that is possible, but it is.
"Umm, miss are you ok." The Gunslinger noticed the Maid's strange behavior, concerned if there is something wrong about her.
"U-uh, y-yes. I'm fine, ahem. As I was saying-" The Maid stuttered for a bit, after she regained her composure, she continue about the same, as the explanation dialogue from Disgaea 5. He brought 10 [Throwing Knife]. Costing him around 700 HL. Then 2 [Antidote], it either originated from Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, or Goblin Slayer, either way it cost him a 100 HL in total. His money is now 6400 HL or 640 Gold
"Thank you for your purchase." The Maid bowed in gratitude.
"Your welcome, and also thank you, the advice you gave me helped." The young smiled softly at the maid. Though he already know that, but it is still good to hear it again if there is something he is missing.
"Hu-huwah!" The undead maid is now blushing beet red, like a tomato from the handsome smile, the maid thought, the young man made. She then fainted, which the young Necromancer caught her. She suddenly woke up, and saw him, then fainted again, causing the Gunslinger to sweatdrop including others around him.
"Man I never thought, she fainted from seeing me smile, is this because I am that handsome and enough to make girls heart skip? The [Necromancer Gunslinger], might cause it to increase the effect. *Sigh* How troublesome, guess I shall send her to the Netherworld Hospital."
After he sent her to the Netherworld Hospital, which the Cleric, said something along the lines of "my what a charmer.", causing the Necromancer Gunslinger to deadpanned at the comment. Currently he is found on the Gacha Altar.
Gacha
The Gacha option tests your LUCK and gives you the chance to win a rare item. You can 3 free spins a week, after that it'll cost a thousand money for a spin. Good luck!
Take it for a spin? Yes/No
He then tapped [Yes], colorful orbs floating to the Altar, the Altar absorbs it while it faintly glowed blue. Then suddenly, a pillar of light engulfs it! A floating skill book appeared on it.
"Observe."
Wall of Skeleton Overlord ver.(Skill Book - Rank E/Common): It teaches to create a wall of skeletons that can move and fight to a certain degree.
Would you like to learn the skill [Wall of Skeleton]
[Y/N]
The Atsushi once again tapped [Yes], dark fogged surrounds him, memories of the skill invades his thoughts and now everything is now gone.
*Ding*
[Wall of Skeleton] has been added to the Necromancy list.
[Wall of Skeleton, Maruyama's Overlord ver.] - Active - LvL: 1/100 EXP:0% - Mana Cost: 100
Description: Creates a wall of skeletons that can move and fight to a certain degree. The tier of the Skill in Overlord is unknown, but it may have been a skill based on related to the users Mana.
Special Effects: The Wall of Skeletons contains Durability of 1000, and attacks and defense both are E. The more LvL, the more Durability, Attacks and Defense it will get, but the more mana it will cost.
He is satisfied with the skill, and effects that it gave. The young man once again activated the Gacha. The pillar of light subsided and he got another skill book. He then thought he should later read it, as to what it is, and focus more on doing one more roll, so that he would just read them all at once. Another skill book appear, and he started reading them.
Widen Magic Overlord ver.(Skill Book - Rank: C/Rare): It teaches to increases the range or area of effect over what the spell would normally possess.

"Damn, this skills are surely rare. It seems I am becoming the second Momonga or Ainz Ooal Gown." The Necromancer mused. He is amused to get skills that will fit his Necromancer type job. He began to learn the skills.

With [Cry of the Banshee] now added to his [Necromancy] skill list. He is now done with Gacha. He can now proceeds to leave the area.
"Where would you like to go dood?" Asked the Prinny.
He told him where he would go. Then he proceeds to go to the portal, after the Prinny set the coordinates.
(OST/BGM: Moving on - Disgaea 5 - OST end)
Once he was now outside, clad with his cloak, he began to continue his search of the Guild, and found it. The sign says it all. He grab the doorknob, and entered the guild.
Every adventurer in the guild was silent, as the sound of the Necromancer Gunslinger entering the room. The adventurers are curious the guild staff, as to what would this cloak person would be here for. Though later the adventurer got back to their business, when Atsushi look at them, which the reason why he look at them is that he is using [Observe] at them. However some adventurers often does a sneaky glance, which are obvious to the Necromancer Gunslinger.
His [Observe] gave him that, some porcelain rank adventurers have physical stats from, E to E+. Magic Casters are interesting to observe, since they don't have Mana Points, and instead they have that Capacity, which some of them have 3 or 5 of it.
He then arrived at the counter, and was greeted by the sight of a beautiful woman with a hallow gold hair tied into a side plait and yellow-gold eyes. She is wearing her guild uniform which consists of a yellow jabot, white dress shirt covered by a navy vest, a long black pencil skirt, and a three strap black belt.
He used [Observe] at the woman.

He didn't need to read the description, since it will be an invasion of her privacy. Though he will use it only if it is an enemy, that he needs to discover an opening and weakness he would exploit. No Blackmailing, and kidnapping though, it is against his nature. He already concluded that her level, came from the experience of her job. It however amazes him that she is ten levels ahead of him.
"Hello there. How would I help you? Umm..." She greeted, then tries to ask the cloaked person, if they might ask to give a quest or there is something she could help. She is a Guild Girl after all. The young man look at her silently, he then proceeds to take off his cloak's hood, revealing his features, while sporting an emotionless expression. Some of the female adventurers charmed at the handsome young man's face.
"I would like to be an Adventurer." He spoke in a monotonous tone, which surprises Guild Girl. It seems he is like Goblin Slayer, his silent and stoic.
"Ah, yes. It will be a moment, sir..."
"Hm-hm-hm, I am Necromancer-" Atsushi began to do a Gendo pose in Jojo style on the counter. "Gunslinger."
Everyone was surprised at the young mans name. They don't know what a Gunslinger is, but they all know that Necromancers have the ability to raise the dead into the living, but in a form of a soulless corpse. Guild Girl was surprise that a Necromancer wants to be an adventurer, though the pose is bizarre, it kinda gave off something being manly, which she sweatdrop at something that is ridiculous as this.
'What's with that laugh anyway? It is like Goblin Slayer-san trying to laugh, but having no expression whatsoever. Doesn't matter I must make this young man an adventurer... *Sigh* I hope this person won't die. He seems to be a nice young man.' She began to regain her composure and introduces herself.
"Nice to meet, Necromancer Gunslinger-san, I'm Guild Girl(Uketsuke Jō)."
"Hm. Same here. Though if I may asks. Do you have a problem calling my name?" The Necromancer asked the Guild girl, which confuses her.
"Huh? What do you mean? Care to elaborate?"
"Well, that name seems too long, and I thought your having trouble saying it." Says the young man in concern, which the Guild Girl blinks in surprised, she thought the young man will be like Goblin Slayer, but he seems to be surprisingly concern with just a name, and a bit talkative than Goblin Slayer. Granted he still have his monotonous voice which is weird. Still she must answer his question.
"N-no nothing at all. Necromancer Gunslinger-san."
"Hm. If you say so, but if you have trouble saying it, then call me either, "Necromancer", "Gunslinger", hell even "Necro-necro" or "Gun-gun", or lastly NG. you can call me whatever you want, if it makes it easier to speak." Some of the people including Guild Girl sweatdrop at the ridiculous names.
"Ok then, Necromancer Gunslinger-san. I make sure to remember that." She smiled at him.
'What a good person. I hope you will not die.'
He is now an Adventure, the Necromancer thought. Thinking about the paperwork he been through, he mused at the number of it. It wasn't really much of a problem giving that he is a game developer that needs to deal with paperwork, which he now handles it in quicker with [ID Create: Void], it didn't surprise him that he can create it with no level restriction, since it is just a void. Granted it gave the ID skill some EXP. Though before that, the only problem he is worried is... How will he will he write it and sign in there language? Heck how will he even remotely read it? Until a the letter magically changed into words he can understand, it gave him the assumption that [the Gamer], or Gen, gave him the ability to translate the language. He then test the theory on signing, which it turn itself into the same language he read from the paper he was given before it translate itself to him.
A quest appeared from him later on.
Main Quest: Arc 1: The Fate of Particular Adventures

Looking at the porcelain tag he have now, he was now sitting on a table alone, while looking at his surroundings occasionally. Searching for someone, he began to see the one he is been looking for.
'Let's give them, what their fortune has shown shall we.' The Necromancer smirked under his hoods cloak. He proceeds to stood up his seat, and tap the person in front of him, who is facing their back. This elicit an "eep!" from them.
The person turn around to him. They revealed to be a beautiful young woman with long blond hair and blue eyes. She is wore white robes over blue garbs, both laced with golden outlines and wielding a golden colored staff decorated with blue jewels. He used [Observed] for a second.

"Ano... Is there something you need?" The Onna Shinkan said in concerned, as to why this strange person approach her.
"Yes, and I would like to asks, if you are interested in your fortune?" Necromancer Gunslinger said in a monotonous voice, surprising Priestess at his tone, and question, which overwhelms her.
"Umm, what?" Priestess was now confused and baffled at the young man, which she assumes by his voice.
"As you can see, I'm a Fortune Teller, and I would like to read your fortune, shoujo." Atsushi lied about his occupation, though it will be fun to see her react, if he revealed his actual title that might go against her nature.
"Uh... Ok, my name is Priestess(Onna Shinkan), and I'm not really sure..." The Priestess introduces herself followed by uncertainty. She didn't know if she really want to read her fortune, or the outcome of her fortune is true.
"Don't worry it is free, if that is what you worry about."
"Umm, I don't think that is the case-
"Let's start shall we, Kirby."
"Umm. Wait, what do you mean about Kirby? My name is Priestess."
"It's because you remind me of a kawaii mascot, that is named Kirby. So I gave you a temporary nickname, because you are kawaii."
"Wait, what cute?!" She blushed a bit at the comment.
"Yes Rom, you are a bundle of cuteness."
"W-wait, what happened to Kirby?! Wh-what do you mean Rom?!" She stuttered while she blushing again, and also surprise how blunt he can be.
"It means, you remind me of a certain kawaii girl I know." He technically know Rom, because of a game he played back at home.
"E-eh?! Would you please stop that?!"
"Stop what?"
"Stop calling me nicknames, we barely know each other. Please call me Priestess."
"Sure thing Rom."
"Wh-what?! What did I tell you-
"Let us begin your fortune, Priestess."
"Thank you... Wait. I never said that I accept you reading my fortune!"
'My plan has been going smoothly. I gave Priestess her fortune, warning about the danger she will face. I hope that I stalled them enough with Priestess being fortune telling by me. Having swap my [Short Sword] to that Warrior unnoticed.'
An image of Atsushi walking quietly to the Warrior, where his sheathed sword have been resting, then grab the hilt of the sword unnoticed, and swap it with the [Short Sword] with his [Inventory] quickly. Once he succeeded he walk away from the scene.
'His chances of survival might be increased. Now to wait for him. Hm-hm-hm-hm.' He chuckled darkly in his thoughts, and also chuckling physically. Which causes the people nearby to sweatdrop including Guild Girl who is in front of him, since he is sitting in front of her counter. they felt unease at the ridiculous action the young boy did, with his interlock fingers of his hand, and how he sit his arm on the table, while he chuckles. To sum it up he is doing a Gendo pose, which most people in the room didn't know what it is called or what it is, and looking like planning an evil scheme.
"Huh?" He noticed the presence of the unease stares, and remembered that he is having an evil laugh. So he decide to cover it up quickly.
"Sorry. Nothing to see here, just remembered something funny." And with that the adventurers and guild staffs shrugged it off, while Guild Girl is staring at him, suspicious.
"What are you planning?" She demanded in a stern manner.
"Hm? What do you mean?" He asked while playing dumb.
"You know, about that Priestess?"
"Oh, if you are talking about me giving her nicknames, and her being cute. I was just being honest, and you can't deny it, you will do the same too, right?" He answered her bluntly, and once she heard his answer, she was baffled by it.
"What? No, that is not what I meant?!.. Ok I was going to also ask you about it too, and yes, you are right I would, but that is not what I meant... Why would you lie about yourself being a Fortune Teller?! You are a Necromancer, for Supreme Gods sake!" Upon hearing that question, the Gunslinger began to act like he realizes what she is saying, since he already know what she wanted to asks, and just playing with her.
"Ah." He snaps his finger in fake realization. "Oh, that? I was warning her about the danger she would face, and her fortune is true. Also despite I am a Necromancer, I can also give fortunes."
"By having those cards tell you? I never seen someone remotely use them, to read others fortune. How do you even know if she actually in danger?" She demanded once again, and seems to be mad about his claims.
"The answer is simple. The card's messages are all true, as either higher beings like the Supreme God, will give us a message, or if you still doubt me, I am a Necromancer. I can hear and will see dead souls, and spirits, which they can give me a message or a warning as proof, that the person is in danger." He lied, he didn't actually communicate to anyone, he was just warning Priestess, and also timing the Cards. Good thing that other member of the guild staff, that has a lie detector miracle is not here yet.
"Oh, is that so." It sounded far fetched, by it can be true, since he is one. Though she still has some doubt.
"If you don't believe me, then there is only one answer I can give you." Atsushi look at Guild Girl's eyes, and was surprise at the cold stare he made. He departed with words that will gain him her trust towards him.
"We both know about the danger when facing a horde of Goblins."
We that her eyes widened, he didn't lied, his eyes stared straight at her. His words despite being monotone, has a feeling genuine of sympathy. Guild Girl sighs at this, while her eyes closed, then opens it, and said to the Necromancer.
"Thank you, and I believe you." She smiled at him, finally another person that can understand how dangerous Goblins can be.
"I'm done..."
"Kya! Goblin Slayer-san! When did you get here?!" Guild Girl was surprised, that Goblin Slayer suddenly appeared out of nowhere, she didn't expect him to be here all of a sudden.
He wears a grubby leather armor with chain mail underneath, paired with his signature cheap-looking helmet (which originally had horns) that envelops his head entirely in protective metal. Carries a cheap and disposable sword of a strange length hanging on his left hip in a makeshift scabbard, allowing him to place swords of any shape. Affixed to his left arm is a small round shield, its rim well maintained to be used as a weapon.
'Speak of the devil that hunts Goblins his here.' Atsushi stood up, and shows that he is a neck length in height of Goblin Slayer.
"Hm? Goblin Slayer, huh? You slay Goblins?" He asked which he lied, since he already know he is, before his name brought up. He began to use [Observe] at him.

"Yeah."
"Is that so? Then nice to meet you, my name is Necromancer Gunslinger, and a Porcelain rank adventurer." Atsushi introduces himself with his title name, and rank while taking of his hood.
"Same here." Goblin Slayer is intrigue, a Necromancer joining in as an Adventure? That is something new. If he is what he claims to be, it be a great advantage against the Goblins sense of smell, since raising rotting walking corpses and their smell can throw off any Goblins, when trying to use their ability to smell out intruders. Corpses cannot be affected by their poison, and will keep fighting without restraint. His other part of his name, "Gunslinger" was it? It seems to be he has more than meets the eye, than just an ordinary Necromancer.
'Though he is already far from ordinary. If what I heard is true, and his body language, he is an experienced fighter, and much more stronger than any other new adventurers.' The Slayer of Goblins thought about his observation. Though it is not important right now, he still need to take another Goblins Quest. He turn around to Guild Girl.
"S-so you came here for a request to kill Goblins, right?"
"Yeah."
Guild began to rummage for some Goblin Quest, and present them on the counter.
"There are three. A party of Porcelains went for this one, then there are-
"I'll go to this one." Without hesitation, he picked the first one.
"Okay!" Guild Girl smiled, and was happy that Goblin Slayer choose a quest that might save the new adventurers. She began to state the location.
"Then, you will be going to a cave to the West of the town, just past a forest..."
"Okay."
Meanwhile with Atsushi...
'As I have planned. It is time to test, if my prediction is correct or not. Either way, I won't let anyone die just yet, and the only thing that would die... Is Goblins.' The Gunslinger began to emit some killer intent for a second, then it was gone. Guild Girl felt something shivering on her spine for just a moment, and Goblin Slayer notices this, they turn around, and notices Necromancer Gunslinger looking at Goblin Slayer.
'Did he just emit, killing intent?' Goblin Slayer thought for a moment, but dismissed it as something his mind playing tricks on him.
"Hey... Would you like me to lend you a hand? Joining someone who is experience fighting Goblins, and more the merrier, we can finish this quest in no time." Guild Girl was surprised at Necromancer Gunslinger's comment, while Goblin Slayer stayed silent having thought about this young man, statement, and deciding whether or not, he should let him join him. The Gunslinger notices this, and continued speaking.
"Also I have something that I need to do, that relates this particular quest only." He stayed silent, rummaging under his cloak, and presenting a long sword in a scabbard.
"I seem to have accidentally swap my short sword with that Warrior Adventurer."
...
"Eh?" Guild Girl is baffled by the reason he made, though it is credible, since having your belonging taken away, you will also think that you want them back. However...
"Umm, why would you want to have it back? Don't you think, you should just get a new one?" The hallow gold haired woman politely asked, wondering as to why he would want it back instead of replacing it.
"Well, I am saving money, so need to replace it, besides it is better crafted, and want it back, up closed and personal." Replied the young dark haired man without hesitation.
"Is that so?" Guild Girl can only sweatdropped at the answer.
"Besides, that particular sword is easy to use in a narrow place, like some Goblins cave that are narrow." That comment peaked a bit of Goblin Slayer's interest, and surprises Guild Girl, how knowledgeable he can be. Guild Girl now thinks he is a somewhat similar to Goblin Slayer.
"And also I am prepared to know the dangers in facing a pack of Goblins. So what would it be Goblin Slayer-senpai?" He looked at him straight in the eye, or is it straight on the visor.
"No." Guild Girl was surprised that Goblin Slayer refused the young man's offer of help.
"Why?" Necromancer asked calmly, the Guild Girl was taken aback he didn't snap at him.
"You need some protection."
"No need, I got, something better." He replied without hesitation.
"... Okay."

'What the heck...? Why is the notification slow, and also that music- It's a Deltarune reference, isn't it?' Atsushi can only thought about it.
'Where did that music came from...? Must be my imagination?' The Guild Girl snap out of her thoughts, and focus on the matter at hand. The Guild Girl began to smile and thought.
'Finally someone that can help him, and he will not be alone.'
Meanwhile with Atsushi. He began to smirk, and do another Gendo pose, and do his infamous, Caleb Goldman laugh, both mentally and physically.
'Hm-hm-hm-hm. Keikaku Doori... Or in english, "all according to the plan"' Atsushi thought, while Guild Girl sweatdropped at this, and Goblin Slayer look at him in confusion.
'How could this happen?' The only thought of the shaken Priestess, hat now gone, and arrow on her shoulders, as she stares at the horrors that her female companions are being pinned. The Wizard is being held by Goblins, struggling to break free, and glasses gone as it was now broken on the ground. The Fighter meanwhile has her cloths torn from her, has been pinned by Goblins, and she felt the Goblins thing on her womanhood, which the camera doesn't showed, ready to about getting raped, upon her dismay.
"Damn it!" Said the Warrior, struggling to cut down, a horde of Goblin, as he his right leg is now injured. He luckily still alive, because of the short sword having his chance of survival increase, since the cave is pretty narrow.
'So the Fortune Teller, is right.' She thought once again, thinking about how a fool she is doubting him. "He is a messenger from the Supreme God", he said, she should believe him more, because she is a Priestess herself. Even it was so sudden, and a little bit suspicious, but she remembered, his gaze that has a speck of sympathy, and also determination on something.
"O... merciful... Earth Mother..." Muttered under her breath, as a warm and wet sensation dribbled between her legs. Some of the Goblins smelled the scent of it, they turned, and chortled at her pathetic state. Tears threatening to burst, as the horror before her reached its thin, filthy, green hands towards her, her prayer; the prayer she had desperately sent towards the goddess who she had so strongly beseeched, was answered.
*CLACK* *CLACK* *CLACK* *CLACK*
(Play OST/BGM: Kill Goblin (Trailer Theme))
That answer is two figures. From Priestess right she saw the figure, who wore grubby armor with a helm, and from her left, he wore a cloak with his hood covering his face. Images of a flames torch swaying, and Priestess's eyes reflecting it. It shows the fire again, then zooms out to the two figures, that seems the armored ones visor has a red flame , where his left eye is, swaying to the right. The Cloak figure has his on his right, with his color being blue, swaying to the left. Which those flames are merely images shown by the camera, and Priestess mind, which she dismissed it.
Everyone was stunned at this, until some Archer Goblins tried their luck, which is nonexistence, shooting the armored figure, which he deflect it with his sword. The Archer frustrated by his shot didn't hit the target, it switches to the other one, who only wore a cloak, and shot. Priestess tried to warned the figure, since he only wore a cloak. Surprisingly he caught it, then threw it to the Hobgoblin, which it screamed in pain by his eyes, being pierce by his arrows, and ultimately let go of the Fighter. The Fighter having chance of escape, since the other Goblins are to focus, and also luckily didn't lose her chastity from these horrid Goblins yet, crawled her way to Priestess.
A Goblin foolish enough to charged at the armored figure, leaped to him, it's advanced, however was blocked by the figure's shield, which it didn't stop the Goblin's sinking it's crude dagger, that has poison. Unfortunately for him, and fortunately for the armored man, it's dagger didn't sink through, because of the armor. The Goblin got shield bashed to the wall of the cave, then got burned from the man's torch on the head, which it died from it.
"That's one." He uttered the fact, loud to here for the others.
The Archer seeing this, is now in fear, tried to escape, but Priestess gasp and saw this, she blocks it's path enough with her staff, and the Goblin stopped his advance for a bit, enough for the armored man to throw his sword on it's head, drawing blood from it, that can be compared from a soda can bursting. All the while Priestess closed her eyes while whimpering, and the Goblin drop dead.
Goblin Slayer slowly approaches the dead Goblin, which Priestess can only utter a "huh" when she notice him approaching.
"And that's makes two." Stated the armored figure, as he place his foot on the dead Goblin.
Meanwhile Atsushi pass by the armored young man.
"Oi, Rom."
"T-that voice! Fortune Teller-san!" Priestess can blurt out that word, as she was surprised that the Fortune Teller also came to help her.
"I forgot to tell you about a part of my fortune." This brought confusion to the Priestess as he utter those words. Suddenly he drew two cards, and a [Throwing Knife].
"You guys will be saved by the Chariot, and the Fool..." He then threw the [Throwing Knife], killing a Goblin trying to approach the crawling Fighter, and Goblin Slayer cutting two of them. He then threw his cloak to the Fighter once, she is now with them, which she eagerly cover herself with it. The Priestess and her companions, stare in awe at his appearance while Goblin Slayer look somewhat intrigued, that has been revealed under his cloak. Ankle-length tailcoat billowing majestically.
"Three, Four, Five."
"And that Chariot is him..." He point a card towards Goblin Slayer while enough for Priestess to see, that has an image of a king(A/N: the Persona wiki said it) or an armored knight leading a chariot made up of two differently colored horses (in some cases mythical creatures). He then flipped the card, which showed the Fool Arcana. "And the Fool is me!"
When the Goblins was distracted, Wizard bit a Goblin's arm hard, which it let out a screech, her arms is now broken free, but her victory is short-lived once a dagger stab her stomach. She elicit a painful cry, which Atsushi notice, and flip the card, which turn into an image of an ominous skeleton.
"You Goblins' fortune meanwhile... IS DEATH." He said everything in an emotionless way. With that he threw the Death Arcana, and threw another [Throwing Knife], that dig through, the Goblin's skull who wields the dagger that stab the Wizard. This shaken the other Goblins, and run, leaving the Wizard free albeit, with a wounded stomach. The Hobgoblin also left, it seems the one who is leading them doesn't want to risk, one of their lines of defense yet.
"Seven." Uttered the Slayer of Goblins.
'Hmm, interesting. The [Throwing Knives], are now dematerializing into pixels, and now they are gone. Seems like nobody notice it, though the Goblins seems to regrouping themselves, by whoever the one leading them. No matter they will still fall.' He can only thought about the actions the Goblins made.
"Who are you?" Asked Priestess to the armored man.
"Goblin Slayer." Is only his reply.
While the cloak figure approaches her, and he spoke.
"I also forgot to properly introduce myself. I'm Necromancer Gunslinger." He said his title, which surprises Priestess!
'A Goblin Slayer, and a Necromancer! What is happening, Oh Earth Mother?!' She can only thought about it.
(OST/BGM: Kill Goblin (Trailer Theme) end)
Priestess was surprise, a Silver Adventurer, that goes by the name Goblin Slayer and a Necromancer, who is just a Porcelain Rank like her, save her and her companions from Goblins. It was painful when he removed that arrow stuck on her, but she never thought, she will be saved by such people. During those times, Necromancer Gunslinger has notice, that the [Poison] effect is still on their status with his [Observe] skill, and so he suddenly giving Warrior, and Wizard, a 2 potions of some sort. He then said it was, an [Antidote], which Goblin Slayer then said, that Goblins tend to put poison, in their weapon, and Priestess is luckily didn't get hit by any poison, as soon as he mentions it to her panicking state. The two eagerly drank, the [Antidote], which they suddenly felt, relief, and no slight burning sensation. Priestess began to heal the Wizard's wounds, making her use her first miracle, out of her three uses. She then tried to moved to Warrior to heal him, when suddenly she heard Goblin Slayer spoke.
"Where all of you attacked by a horde from behind?" He asked them.
"Huh?" Priestess can only blurt out in confusion.
Then suddenly he had his torch shone it's light, that supposed to be the cave wall, but instead it was a tunnel that has been hidden by the darkness of the cave. Priestess party and herself let out shocked gasp at this.
"No way... But... wh-when we went through..." Warrior can only uttered in dismay, while also coincidentally spoke Priestess thoughts on that matter.
"In a dark cave, if all you have is a torch, you wouldn't notice the shadows along the cave walls." Goblin Slayer explained, followed by turning to the direction of a bone construct, that has been held by a wooden stick, like some sign of sort. "That over there would catch your eye first. It's a common mistake that rookies make."
Everyone, excluding Goblin Slayer, and Atsushi. Put them two and two together. Fighter is speechless, Warrior can only grit his teeth in regret, having the one with a torch, he would have notice it by now, Wizard cannot believe it, and also her ego destroyed by some Goblins, and Priestess, was surprised and speechless that Goblins can do that.
"Listen, they're not bright creatures, but they aren't complete fools." Goblin Slayer spoke once again, then moved his torch at the bone construct. "This horde is being led by a shaman."
"A shaman?" Priestess spoke in confusion, and curiosity.
"They're powerful spell casters." The armored man replied.
Suddenly a pair of hands was place, both with Warrior, and Wizard, surprising them both.
"So how does, it feel? The feeling of being closed to death?" He asked without hesitation, both of them were a little bit irked, how he just casually spoke about it. Before they reply, he suddenly spoke.
"Don't say, that they got lucky, as an excuse. Even if that is the case, you will be dead, either. I only ask if it is scary? Is it overwhelming, that it shook your heart, to the core?" His eyes stern, and cold, as their eyes widened in surprise, including Fighter, from his words. They hesitantly replied.
"Ye-yeah." Warrior stuttered, while the two females, just nodded. He then suddenly soften his gaze a bit, enough for his emotionless stare to have a bit of sympathy.
"This is the life of an Adventurer. Every quest has every danger you will face, and most of them can be your demise." He stated as a matter of fact, they can only clench their fist, and grit their teeth in frustration in how right he is. He then closed his eyes, sigh and reopen them.
"You have been given a second chance, and that choice is yours to quit, here and right now." This shocked the three with his own words, including Priestess, while Goblin Slayer is intrigued. Priestess was about to argue, when suddenly his spoke once again.
"However, if you are stubborn enough to continue, then word of advice... Remember that life is full of hardship, but you must not stop attaining your own goals. You shouldn't get arrogance get through your head. You must remember that you are walking to a path full of deaths, but do not be discourage by it. You are the only one can decide, your own future. Not the gods, or monsters, or other people, only you." They where amaze by his speech, while Goblin Slayer is impressed and also agreed, what he just said.
"So learn by this past mistake, and clenched those teeth." He finished his speech with a bizarre pose, that emits manliness, causing them to sweatdropped, and their minds perplexed including Priestess, while Goblin Slayer seems to be intrigue, indifferent, well he is Goblin Slayer, so no one will know what he is thinking. He proceed to walk to Goblin Slayer, then suddenly stopped. He quickly walk to the Warrior.
"Your future is once again, is your own choice, but for today, you may rest and think about it for a while, so you may return back, for now."Besides, you will be holding us back, if we have to watch more people behind our backs. Also the toll of this previous encounter, must have taken a lot from you, so better rest mentally, and physically, so that you can start what you would in the future."
"Here is your sword, by the way, and give me back my [Short Sword]." Warrior can only stare dumbfounded, and gave him back his sword while thanking him. The Necromancer, then proceed to walk, to Goblin Slayer again.
"Hm. That is a good sword." Commented the armored man.
"Thanks."
"Let me go with you!" Priestess suddenly insisted, herself to join. Her party told her, if she was fine with it, which she replied, that it is something she must do, and is ok with it. After that they heard the reason, and they knew they can't convince her, as she saw her resolved, with that they bid farewell, and choose to leave, with Warrior refusing to be healed, so that Priestess can keep her remaining miracles, which she hesitantly accept.
*Ding*
P-r-i-e-s-t-e-s-s h-a-v-e j-o-i-n-e-d G-o-b-l-i-n S-l-a-y-e-r-s P-a-r-t-y!
"What can you use?" Asked Goblin Slayer, about Priestess Miracles.
"I can use Heal, and Holy Light."
"How many times?"
"Three times... So I have two uses left." She answered once again.
"Alright." He then moved to a goblin, and lightly kicking it, to face itself off the ground, and then suddenly... He start stabbing it, and the action, cause Priestess to let out a shocked gasp, while NG stared indifferently.
"W-what are you doing?" She questioned while she was startled by the action.
"We have to get rid of our scents." He replied without hesitation, and earning a gasp from the blonde girl at the answer, while NG can only look at her in pity.
"Get used to the smell of blood."
"Alright..." The poor Priestess, who is now been covered by Goblin Blood, replied.
The party proceed to look at a tunnel, that has some kind of trail.
"There is one, a scout probably." The Necromancer suddenly spoke, surprising Priestess, while Goblin Slayer is intrigue.
"You can through the dark?" Goblin Slayer spoke, answering Priestess thoughts.
"Yes. It is essential part of my skills, as a Gunslinger, that I trained my eyes to shoot my targets through the dark." Atsushi half lied. He didn't trained his eyes to see through the dark, well they been trained, but a normal human cannot see through the dark clearly with their own eyes, even if trained. It is just his [Clairvoyance] skill kicking in.
Goblin nodded at this, and threw his other torch at the path. A Goblin's noise was heard, then the armored man, suddenly threw a dagger, hitting the Goblin, and rush at it, so that it will be killed by his blade. Priestess was amazed, while NG is also slightly amazed by this. She began to comment about it.
"Can you see in the dark, too?" She asked in curiosity.
"Of course not. I just practiced. I always aim for where their necks would be." Is his reply.
"Practice? How much did you practice?" She asked again, bewildered by his reply, but also still curious about it.
"A lot." Is his only replied, as he finished dragging the Goblin. Priestess then notice that he left his sword on the Goblin's corpse, and began to question it.
"What about your sword?"
"It's useless now. Too much blood on it." He replied, answering Priestess question.
"As Necromancer Gunslinger said, he was right, that was a scout. This is the right way." The armored man is now facing at another tunnel, that he mentions it to be the right way.
After a few minutes of preparation, the trap is now have been set. A rope that connects to a wooden nail log, that has been firmly stuck on the ground.
"I'll be here, to cover your backs" Is what the Necromancer said while pulling his right gloves down on his wrist, and Goblin Slayer nodded in approval at his suggestion.
"Let's go." Is what he said to Priestess.
"Y-yes, sir..." She replied while stuttering, eyeing the trap they have been set up.
They proceed to enter the cave, while unbeknownst to them, Atsushi traced his trusty Magnum.
(A/N: This will be great, if that full ost of this fight has been released, so that I can include it to my story darn it!)
Few minutes later, there was a chant from Priestess, then suddenly a bright light, blinding the Goblins. Goblin Slayer then threw the spear, after assess the number of Goblins.
"Eight remaining!" He proclaimed, as his spear hit the Shaman. Atsushi already, used [Observe] at the Shaman, which not that different from ordinary Goblins, but just having a spell capacity, MAG stat, and a slightly better endurance than a normal Goblin. Still weak though for him.
Goblin Slayer ordered to Priestess to "Fall back" while the Necromancer concentrate. Then once they got back, the armored man said to Priestess, to use her Holy Light miracle once again.
"Cover your ears, or brace yourself. This will be loud." Warned Atsushi, which confuses the Priestess, and the armored man, but nevertheless she and Goblin Slayer complied. They didn't question the Necromancer, as he began to aim something, that brought their curiosity.
The Hoblingoblin, was now blinded, then it tripped on the trap. Since the other sword in the canon anime, and manga, that Goblin Slayer acquired from the dead Warrior adventurer, is not with him. The Gunslinger proceeds to stab the downed Hobgoblin with his [Short Sword] once on the head, and shot the two Goblins that followed it. Which the sound of an unfamiliar explosion, startle Priestess as she covers her ears, while Goblin Slayer regain his bearing, and is now intrigue at the weapon, that cause the Goblins death.
"What's that?" Goblin Slayer asked about the weapon that Necromancer Gunslinger, is holding.
"A Gun, specifically a custom made Magnum. It is a weapon, that defines my other name Gunslinger. It's design, appearance, and mechanic, is one of it's kind. Most Guns are all been manufactured or mass produced, but not this gun. You can say, it is "special", and it is my own gun, after all." The Necromancer answered Goblin Slayer's question, while Priestess can only stare in awe and surprised at such a small object, that cause Goblins heads.
"Are you going in?" Suddenly asked the Priestess to Goblin Slayer.
"No." He replied until a group of three Goblins charges at him, then suddenly he hit them with the dead Hobgoblin's stone axe-club thing, that he picked up.
"They probably have no idea, that I'm waiting out here for them." He continued, while killing the three Goblins, and ending the last one, throwing his weapon dead on it's head. This horrified Priestess at his brutal action, while NG just stared indifferently.
Later, they arrived at the lair, though it horrified Priestess of the image of the Goblins' corpses heads, having themselves revealing some of their contents and the hole that had been made by the Gunslinger's gun. Priestess, then comfort some of the girls, while Goblin Slayer approach the supposed dead shaman. Then killed it with a dead Goblin's club, after it tried to surprise, and tried to attack Goblin Slayer, which it failed horribly. He then approach a throne made out of bones, and kicked it, revealing a wooden door of some kind.
"What's this?" The Priestess was curious, as to what was behind that make-shift door.
Goblin Slayer then began to open it, and reveal it to be, a place that contains Goblin children. This shocked Priestess, that something being kept inside are children of Goblins.
"Children?" She can only utter those words.
"They multiply fast. If we had waited any longer, there'd be about fifty of them, and they would've attacked. You were lucky." He commented.
'C- rank luck, I would say.' Is what Atsushi's thoughts are.
Goblin Slayer began to approach the Goblins, which Priestess asked if he were going to kill him, and Goblin Slayer answered without hesitation, that he will. He explained, that "They hold on to grudges for life." and that they have the ability to learn by their mistakes, and adapt, which made them dangerous.
"There isn't a single reason to let them live." The armored man said, raising his club, and ready to strike.
"Even if there was a good goblin?" Asked Priestess about her shaken thoughts.
"A good goblin? I guess there might be one if you looked really hard. But in the end, the only good goblins are the ones who never come out of their holes." Answered Goblin Slayer's opinion.
"That opinion of yours is flawed." Atsushi suddenly spoke, gaining both of their attention.
"So you think, most Goblins are evil; well I cannot argue with that, if you face these kinds of species, you couldn't help, but kill them all." His gaze is cold, surprising Priestess, while Goblin Slayer stares at him in curiosity.
"Thinking that most Goblins are evil, then you are partially right. But I have hoped that, there are some species that carried the same name, and can also be considered decent, or good as Priestess said, and not at all like this. So don't let your grudges, or hatred, cloud most of your judgement. Aim it towards something you already encountered within your own life, that you already familiar with, and that will be these "kind" of Goblins." Meanwhile, from the other world in a place simply called "Capital City Rimuru", all the Goblins that were being ruled by a Slime suddenly seemed to sneeze out of nowhere, and as this happened, the Slime wondered who was talking about them. The Necromancer closed his eyes, and then he breath in, and out.
"I ask of you, when you meet something like that... Will you still kill, such type of Goblins, knowing that they can be good, and kindhearted?" The Necromancer asked as he and Goblin Slayer had a stare off, appearing as if the eyes held flame within them. As their stare lengthened and Priestess became increasingly more nervous about it, it was broken.
"I don't need the answers immediately, but don't think about it too much for now, and just keep that in mind. I'm not saying anything personal, just don't take my words too personal; and don't change your opinion immediately, as it could affect your resolve in killing these wretched things. Just believe what you believe is right while we kill these kinds of Goblins. I'm not that naive, and in my opinion, I should only kill these kinds of Goblin and most species that connect to them." The young man then began to approach the couple, while P and GS can only think about what he had said moments before. Was it even possible that such kinds of Goblins could exist, and what did he mean when he said it was something that carried the same name, but was different?
'He believes that there are some that can be good. He's a nice person.' Priestess thought about it, and after a few moments, she smiled, and proceeded to thank him.
"Thank you."
"I don't need thanks. Just mentioning my opinions."
'His explanation is a bit confusing, but I understand a bit. 'Though I don't know what will happen if I ever met such creatures... I will just think about it later as he said.' Goblin Slayer thought to himself.
"So..." He turned around, revealing a grin that the two compared to a maniac - or was that just their imagination?
"Who wants to burn or bashed these Goblins?" A flame burst from his fingertips, sending a pop of sparks in every direction.
Priestess can only sweatdrop at this, while GS could only think, that even after all of what he had just said, he couldn't hate the young man, but rather, he could respect him. Being open-minded, but still kill Goblins, he had a great resolve that can discern an enemy correctly and not even hesitate to kill it.
Though Priestess still cried at the scene, the cries of burning children Goblins, and being bashed by a club being followed, and then death.
After that, Atsushi walks toward Priestess with Goblin Slayer calmly passing by. Cape billowing for unknown reason and walking dramatically like.

'Man, equipping Magician is something. What a Pyromaniac he can be. Oh well, on to more pressing matters. Hmm... Maybe Priestess, will joined with her former adventurer party instead with Goblin Slayer, since I changed some canon plot.' The Necromancer mused in his thoughts, thinking how today might be different, than the canon. He already had his cloak back, since he won't give it to anyone, for now. I mean it is a one of a kind thing design.
'Oh well, at least I did my part... Hm?' He then saw Priestess talking to her former party, it looks like she is apologizing, which it did not bother them, and seem to encourage her, she then approach Goblin Slayer.
"No way. You got to be kidding me? Is this for real?" Atsushi was shocked, until Priestess showed the chain mail under her robes, and Goblin Slayer nodded at her.
"..."
"Hm-hm-hm-hm. So this is what it turns out, eh? Not complaining. I shall now approach them." He began to approach Priestess, and tap her shoulder which elicit her an "eep".
"Yo Rom, it's been a while."
"Ah, Necromancer Gunslinger-san! When did you come from?! And stop calling me nicknames?! It's Priestess, mou!" She pouted at him, which he can only think how adorable she became.
"I was already here, and also no." The last answer reacted her to pout more, which the Necromancer gave off a smug look for a second, and then it was gone.
"So... How bold of you to show off, a part of you to a man, like Goblin Slayer over here. I never knew you had it in you, such a naughty girl you are, and also a Priestess at that. Can't blame you, you must be charmed when he saved you from the Goblins." The Gunslinger bluntly commented, causing the blonde girl to blush furiously, while Guild Girl giggled at that, as she happens to be their, and heard the conversation. Goblin Slayer either ignored it or didn't pay attention to it.
"N-no! I-i am j-just s-showing the chain mail he recommend, and nothing else!" She answered immediately but stutters, all the while blushing like a red light, and some steam coming out of her ears, like a burning pot. Though some her thoughts, suddenly wondered about doing something like that to the armored man, which she blushes more from it. She shook herself out of those naughty thoughts.
"Oh. Is that so? Sorry my bad." He apologize, which Guild Girl, and Priestess sweatdropped at the way he spoke it.
'It didn't sound that you are sorry at all.' The girls thought.
"Anyway goodluck with the quest." The comment he made confuses the Guild Girl, and she was about to ask.
"Your not joining?" Surprisingly Goblin Slayer is the one who asked, which surprised the golden haired woman.
"Well... I am planning on either resting or getting quest that aren't Goblin based. Gotta have something different every once in a while."
Goblin Slayer nodded at the answer, understanding what he meant. He is not like him, that always picks Goblin quest, he is his own person after all, and so he should decide to what he should do.
"Anyway see you later, may our paths meet once again, friends." Finishing the last word with Caleb Goldmans impression, he then walk away from the scene.

Next Time
Grinding, and a MINOTAUR!
A: Alright, Episode 1 or first Chapter is officially done. Some added changes on the Opening, though I originally added some shadowy silhouette on the cut-in parts, I can't fit them in on the part that shows High Elf Archer, Dwarf Shaman, Lizard Priest, because how the lyrics of the song are too in sync with the cut-ins, since that songs part is too in sync, I took away the idea. Anyway NG is now officially showned his own title in the opening. Congrats!
NG: Thank you...
A: Also thank you Just a Bad Writer for Fun for helping pointing out on some of my grammar mistakes! You readers should sometimes checkout Just a Bad Writer for Fun's story! An awesome author, and guy to talk with. Also in this Chapter, I used the "Mulligan" by DomYang, as a reference for this chapter. Proof of this, is part of the scene from Priestess, is the line that I copied. Here it is, if I remembered correctly.
as the horror before her reached its thin, filthy, green hands towards her, her prayer; the prayer she had desperately sent towards the goddess who she had so strongly beseeched, was answered.
That is what I copied. Before that I also was going to ask his permission to use some of his story as a reference, but sadly...
NG: He didn't replied.
A: Yeah... Busy maybe. So as compensation, please read his stories.
NG: *Nod* Hm.
A: Anyway, man I am so lucky to get New Years!Levaetain! I shall cherish my New Waifu with my other Waifus!
NG: What the heck, you're being a little creepy.
A: No I'm not! I am just a young man, who admires someone that has taken my heart!
NG:... Ok.
A: Anyway, the new anime Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari or The Rising of the Shield Hero, is out! I think? Pretty long for a first episode, didn't get to finish, because of phone issues, but I seen it a mile away, when I first saw that damn backstabbing bitch! I every person, that made Naofumi miserable to be hit by PURPLE HAZE, GOLD EXPERIENCE, AEROSMITH, STAR PLATIMUN, and be healed by CRAZY DIAMOND, THEN HIT THEM AGAIN! Naofumi-san, just you wait, my friends will help you with your problem!
NG: Damn, seems like his soft boiling heart is now in actions.
A: Anyway, if someone ask how NG here survive of not getting hit by GS rage from Goblins, because of his opinions he said, then it's because Goblin Slayer is a levelheaded individual. I mean GS didn't snap at Priestess about her saying "If there was a good goblin.". So right now, tell them NG...
NG: I am giving him a chance, to not kill Goblins blindly.
A: There, that is the answer.
P: Excuse me.
GS: Goblins.
A: AAAAH! When did you two come from?!
NG: There been there a while ago.
A: Oh.
P: Umm. I've been told to come here lately, and I want to know why?
GS: The Necromancer told me, he has something to say related to Goblins.
A: O-ok. *Whispers* Why did you bring them here?
NG: You forgot that you need more people than usual, right? You said "the more the merrier".
A:... Oh *Hits his fist on his palm.*, now I remember!
NG: *Sigh* *Turns around to the two and explain* You're here to say farewell, and Goblin Slayer, I can tell you about Goblins later, after this is done.
P/GS: O-ok/Ok.
A: Anyway to the reviews first. UndeadLord22, Indecisive-san, and Just a Bad Writer for Fun, is already been thanked, via PM, but still thanks anyway.
I will just ignored "that" review.
For Favs, and Follows, thank you, even if it is a measly 5 each.
So that is all, and let us wrap it up, everyone!
NG: *Gives Priestess, and Goblin Slayer the script*
A/NG/P/GS: KRKing likes to thank you for reading this, he also thanks you for the Favourite and Follows. Do not forget also to review. We hope you enjoy it!
A: Here is some omakes, and possible stories that I will make.
Omake: How the Gods, and Goddesses of Goblin Slayer world react to NC - ver. 2 - part 2
"Hahaha! What is this? Fortune-telling? You seriously think you can predict me, that easily? What a fool you are-!
"Yes I can." Jin interrupted the GM, which he earned a glare from him.
"Then proved it!"
"You are going to attack, the Wizard first, sacrificing a Goblin in the process, then pinned her, and stab her by a poison dagger, that causes Priestess healing spell to become useless. Have the Warrior enrage, try to kill the Goblin, and have his long sword that will lead his doom. The Fighter will try to defeat the Goblins by herself, but to no avail, that your Hobgoblin will be enough to beat her to submission, and make her a breeding stuck. Leaving the Priestess defenseless, and no way to attack, and escape. Am I right?"
"..."
"With you being silent, then yes I am, and your next line will be "HOW YOU KNOW!" to you."
"HOW YOU KN-...! What?!"
"Your next line will be "YOU BASTARD! WHAT DID YOU DO?" to you."
"YOU BASTARD! WHAT DID-!"
"Your next line will be "STOP IT YOU BASTARD!"/ STOP IT YOU BASTARD!" Both beings said their words simultaneously, as the GM was now shocked, and enrage.
"After this, you are going to attack the Adventurers immediately.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
The GM screams in rage, and the events of the story have been followed is exactly what Jin predicted.
Teaser ideas: Re-Zero Gamer
"Fufu, not bad. It seems you are more than meets the eye." Said the bowel hunter, staring at the determined Subaru standing with cuts slowly closing in.
'Damn, I will be dead, if I don't have an Agility of 40, and the skill [Detect Danger], I wouldn't survived.' Subaru then look, at the amazed, but worried Emilia. Remembering how, he somewhat go toe-in-toe with her, and landing some scratch here, and there, though with injuries in return mind you.
'Though I don't think, I can make this fight more longer with my HP." Subaru look at his HP bar, and saw it's amount.
HP: 100/400
'Gotta make my attacks count, if I where going to land a devastating hit- Wait. Haha! About time that filled up! Now to unleashed it-
Suddenly a red haired knight crashed through, and ruined his moment. He was glad they have been saved, but irritated to get his time to shine ruined. So after some exchanges from Reinhard, and Elsa, Subaru approaches him.
"Hey, could you let me take care of her, just a moment."
"Huh? What? Sorry, but you can't face a foe, such as her, as I have observed-
"If something happens to me, then you I will leave it to you to save my ass." Subaru replied, showing a determined look, that Reinhard can't refuse.
"*Sigh* Alright then young man. She is all yours."
"What?! Wait, you can't just fight her! You will die! Please Reinhard stop him." The white haired elf, expressed her worries.
"Man, such a beautiful girl, worried about me. I sure am lucky."
"Wh-what?!" She spluttered, and now blushing at the comment, while Reinhard just let out a friendly chuckle.
"Well this made me more confident to beat her." He punches his fist on his palm, having been fired up.
"Fufu, what will you even do? You are just nothing like the Astrea over there. What's make you think, that you can beat me? Are you just jealous, that he is facing a lady like me, instead of you?" Commented Elsa.
"Nah, don't get wrong, your sexy, but you're not much of my type." Subaru picked up the sword underneath the floor.
Suddenly the sword have been coated by a golden hue, and a majestical hum followed by it, as it surprised everyone at the area.
"Also for the rest, I would say I won this."
"Fufu, you sure are full of surprises. Show me what you got!"
"Gladly!" The aura began intense, as Subaru raise the sword high coating the ceiling. Emilia can only stare in awe, while Reindhard was intrigued, and the bowel hunter seems to be in euphoria.
'Where did he learn that techniqu- No this is different. It seems it's his own power. Young man, whoever you are, you are brimming with great potential.' Was the thoughts of Reinhard.
'Beautiful.' Emilia can only thought at the sight of the golden aura dancing at the night; like the shiniest star, shining it's beautiful light, or a series of fireworks exploding themselves, showing their beauty to the world.
"Now in the famous words of someone. BEGONE THOT!" Said Subaru as he bring his powered sword down.
"VICTORY SLASH!"
And the room is coated by golden light.

(OST/BGM: SkullGirls Opening end)
"Huh? What is this place? Sheesh, this sure is gloomy, I would say." She commented at how lonely it was.
"Samson, are you sure, that you sense something here." Says the raven haired beauty, with crimson eyes.
"Positive, Filia. I sense something lurking around here. It might be our lead to the Skull Heart." Says her parasite, that took form with her hair.
"Filia, his right, Leviathan also sense something here. Though it made me a bit afraid, as to what with discover here." Said the undead girl.
"Don't worry milady, I will protect you at all cost." Said her parasite, that took form of a bony dragon serpent that located from Squigly's head.
"Umm, hello there." She turned around, and saw a young man, a brunette young man in glasses, with tattered business suit.
"Kya!" Both Filia, and Squigly jumped in surprise, while Samson just chuckle silently, and Leviathan glared at the young man.
"Um Sir, who are you?" Asked Filia wondering, what he was doing here.
"Jekyll Hyde, and please leave. You shouldn't be here." The brunette ushered her to leave, which confuses her.
"Huh? Why should we?" The Anti-SkullGirl question, while crossing her arms.
"P-please, I-I'm b-begging you! I-I c-can't h-hold him anymore- AAAAAGH!" Suddenly wrap himself, and collapse on the floor.
"Hey are you ok?!" Said the Peacock in concern.
"Oh no, Jekyll are you alright?!" Said Filia, and Squigly in worry.
They were surprised, as the young man seems desperate to his attempt to make her leave. What is he hiding. He faces her, and tears falling from his eyes
"Leave please-" Suddenly he stop, looking down motionlessly, like a puppet cut from his strings. Making the three anxious at his predicament, suddenly he rose, which the girls felt relieved, it might be some kind of prank after all, or a circus trick, since this is a circus after all by the look of this place. Though they felt something different about him, or is it their imagination?
"Kid, you got to be careful, I have a bad feeling about this." Warned Samson, sensing something bad about this guy.
"Huh? What do you mean Samson?" Filia asks him, as to why he felt that way.
"He is right milady, you must be careful with that fellow over there." Leviathan agreed with Samson, there is something wrong about him.
"H-huh? He seems harmless at first, but I shall take your words Leviathan." Squigly accepted her Parasite's word, she still worried about the young man over there, including Filia.
"Man, you almost scared us. Gotta give it to you, you got a good act ki-
Peacock was interrupted, when suddenly the young man faces them, and his appearance made them surprised. His irises seems to be blackened, pupils turned yellow, and his skinned became pale-like. His voice came out distorted, and also childish in nature.
"UEE HEE! VISITORS, VISITORS! NOW WE CAN PLAY, PLAY!"
"Oh not you again!" Said Samson in frustration.
"*Sigh* this will be difficult." Leviathan can see things going to be rough.
"Huh? Wh-what do you mean, Samson?" Asked Filia in curiosity.
"Care to explain Leviathan?" Squigly also asks in curiosity.
"Yeah, well you see..." Samson complied.
"As, you wish milady." Leviathan also complied.
"That guy over there will be a hassle, and that parasite of his will be even more of a hassle." Samson explain and half complain.
"Quit your whining, Samson, your explanation is inadequate." Commented Leviathan.
"What did you say, you snake?!-
"A serpentine dragon, mind you. As I'm going to say. Samson's explanation can be doubtly considered true-
"Hey!"
about our current situation. Though the short story, about that parasites identity is that. He is a good parasite, but can be sometimes a handful to deal with."
"Yeah, how annoying he can be."
"He is a good friends of ours I tell you."
"Wa-it. What?!" Spluttered Samson at the mention of "Good Friends".
"Good friends then we don't have to worry. If that is what you mentioned." Filia commented, which Squigly nodded in agreement, thinking that something won't go wrong.
"H-hey, listen here you stupid snake, and Filia. I A-M N-O-T F-R-I-E-N-D-S W-I-T-H T-H-A-T F-R-E-A-K! Never, nada, yada, and zilch." Samson argued with them.
"Don't be hard on him. He is just feeling lonely, and um... Having some interesting quirks, and ideas." The serpent commented, he nervously spoke his last sentence, which the Squigly, and Filia both caught wind of it.
"Leviathan, what do you mean by that? And what does he called himself?" Asked Squigly, as Filia also wanted to know.
"Haha. I can only answer that we will be involved with his play time, since he is been lonely ever since... I have no idea how long, but as I observe. We are going to have a difficult time. He goes by the name "Jevil", Milady."
"Yeah Jevil. If his first later name will be "D", then he is the devil himself... Wow that actually rhymed." Samson commented, Leviathan can only groaned, at it. If Leviathan had hands, he would've have facepalmed.
'Jevil, huh? I wonder why they worried so much, at such Parasite, that they considered a friend.' Both Squigly and Filia, can only thought about it.

The young man's out fit suddenly transformed into that of a jester, and a tail behind his back.
"AAAH! What are you?!" Asked Peacock in surprise.
"THEN, AFTER YOU, I CAN PLAY WITH EVERYONE ELSE, TOO!"
"So what are we playing, exactly...?" Asked the Squigly in curiosity.
"OH, IT'S JUST A SIMPLE NUMBERS GAME." He commented, until a scythe flies through them, which they barely dodge.
"WHEN YOUR HP DROPS TO 0, YOU LOSE!"
"So that's the kinda game you wanna play, huh...?" Peacock commented calmly.
"Hehe, then I gotta warn you Jevil..." Commented Samson, suddenly Peacock, Filia, and Squigly took a fighting stance followed by their parasites, to Peacock's case; a bunch of living inanimate objects appeared beside her.
"You're dealing with a couple of sharks." Samson announced with a grin.
"UEE HEE HEE! SHARK-TO-SHARK! I WOULDN'T HAVE IT ANY OTHER WAY!" He replied.
"NOW, NOW! LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
