Boring

Please tell me that you're at least still alive.

Cool story bro.

I like the story, its kind of slow but climatick. I belive you are looking into how ainz will interact with salem but I think you should avoid that b/c eather ainz joins salem in world destruction, wich is bad b/c salem is looking for death, an and for her imortality and ainz could probably deliver. So I cant see how Ainz could gain anything from salem but meaby the wild hunt Grimm could tell ainz that she is being punished by the gods and is usless, manipulative and self-concentrated and her punishment is fitting or something? Anyway I hope you are having fun writting, b/c I sure have fun reading :)

"You are kind of the ace around here," Coco pointed out to her. "You've got a winning streak in the arena that would make Pyrrha Nikos jealous. And all of that without a Semblance or Aura."

"Were you worried about me as well?"

Velvet almost looked offended by her question. "Of course we were! You're our friend, Shizu!"

Shizu's eye widened.

They…consider me a friend?

_

And they make Shizu smile.

I need more, mooooore!

The results of the unlocking process, which consisted of a foreign presence invading her body but possessing no hostile intentions, followed by an incantation of some kind, were ultimately useless. Professor Peach had attempted to unlock her aura three times, and each time was met with no reaction according to the machine hooked up to her body.

"But how is that possible?" Goodwitch demanded, frustration quickly mounting her features. "Is there some kind of complication?"

Peach rubbed her chin thoughtfully. "There are rare cases in which a person's aura is difficult to unlock, namely due to some sort of mental block or traumatic experience."

"Traumatic experience…" Goodwitch looked to the side, frustration morphing into sadness. "Yes, that could explain it."

"But, I don't believe it's that." The blonde teacher looked at her colleague oddly. Shizu remained quiet and listened intently. "Whenever I injected Young Obsidian with a small amount of my aura, there was no sort of reaction whatsoever. Even in the rare cases when an aura is difficult to unlock, the subject's aura would always react in some form or another. However, Young Obsidian has shown no such reactions. Either the lock on her aura is incredibly severe, or…"

"Or what?"

Peach glanced at Shizu briefly. There was a hint of fear and uncertainty, something Shizu made sure to note.

"Or Young Obsidian…possibly lacks a soul."

Goodwitch stared at her colleague for a moment, and then frowned. "Oh, hogwash. A human that does not possess a soul? Surely you aren't suggesting Miss Obsidian is actually a Grimm in human form!"

"I'm not suggesting anything like that! I'm just saying it is very odd." Peach huffed. "At any rate, I suggest you limit Young Obsidian's matches in your class, Glynda. While I won't deny her abilities, it's only a matter of time before someone goes too far and she becomes seriously injured. I'm certain our students know the meaning of the word restraint, but they are being trained to fight both Grimm and the worst of people."

"Oh, don't I know it…" Gloodwitch sighed and rubbed her temples. "Very well, I'll inform the Headmaster about this. Obsidian, you can leave now."

_

Yeah, she's literally soulless.

A wild hunt Grimm? O.o

Ainz sighed to himself as he closed the book in his hand. He had obtained a good enough understanding of Remnant's history, or at least what remained of it. Suffice it to say, he was actually floored by what little he had been offered.

The Great War that happened decades ago destroyed not just the old cultures of the Kingdoms, but also their histories and arts. The naming rule that was imposed now was a major attempt at keeping what little culture they had left alive, however odd it was aside. However, there was also the matter of records pertaining to outside the Kingdoms as well. Something that made him both irate and excited.

"I don't understand it. How is it that people have no knowledge of any countries, continents or landmasses outside the five we know of today war be damned?"

The were only a small number of landmasses known to humanity: Menagerie, Vytal, Anima, Sanus, Patch, and lastly Solitas. Outside of these known landmasses, there were no other recordings. It was almost as if these were the sole pieces of land left on the planet, but Ainz sincerely doubted that. With so little land available, humanity's number would be too small to support such large societies. At the very least, the societies had to be contained. Upon further investigation, though, Ainz learned that there have been no attempts to venture into the wilds and discover new lands.

There had been appeals to the various governing bodies to try and explore the outside world, but they were constantly met with rejection. The reasoning?

Grimm.

_

Yeah, it could be true, after all, after what the brother of darkness did.

Oooooh! A audience with HER!? O.O

Oh toy, you poor fool. You won't have her, except as a executioner.

_

Velvet had never felt so embarrassed before. Not since the day she introduced her first boyfriend to her parents back in middle school.

"Holy shit, Yatsu! You're ripped!" Whereas Velvet was doing her best not to look, Coco was salivating and drinking in the sight of a topless Yatsuhashi, her new partner following the events of Initiation. He was currently engaged in what appeared to be a nightly workout, his legs hanging in the air while performing what looked like vertical push-ups on a single hand, the other behind his back. "The heck do you do to get those kinds of abs?"

"Training." Yatsuhashi replied. "Long years of training. And discipline."

Who was the pervert who decided that it would be a good idea for teams to share the same room? As much as Velvet wanted to be happy, she was not used to being given a show of men willingly taking off their clothes right in front of them or walking around half-naked. The closest she had seen to a man exposing so much skin was the time her ex-boyfriend after a workout session, where his tanktop clung to his skin and exposed his well-built form to her properly. She had expected the dorms to be separated, or at least the teams having separate rooms to sleep in. Instead, they were all corralled into one room, a bit on the small side and rather cramped at that. Worse, they only had one shower.

I consider it the best! Getting to see shirtless yatsuhashi, and his chiseled backside. \\\\

Fox is no slouch, but if I had to choose...YatsuHashi.

(Licks lips)

Well, Shizu got to experience a semblance first hand.

And she saw more in Port than most students would.

Shizu drawn to Velvets ears, Roy drawn to her, a vicious cycle.

But oh dear, being drawn to those soft ears helped her learn Qroe is Raven brother.

Ooooh Coco eyeing up Fox backside, well, they have to be tight clothes, since he's a ninja. Kinda.

But also, he might like eyes on him to. Hehe.

Yeah, Raven explains about Ainz and worries our dear Ozpin

Curious to see how it was in terms of wealth and power, Ainz raised his hand and casted the skill [Appraise Item]. This spell was common and allowed Players to view the statistical information of any item, be it consumable, a piece of armor or even a Key Item necessary to progress through a quest. When he casted the spell, information began to enter his mind.

...holy hell!

To say that he was shocked would be an understatement. He couldn't stop himself from laughing, earning confusion from the two Floor Guardians. "Lord Ainz? Is-is something the matter?" Albedo asked, slightly concerned for her master and focus of her affections.

"Demiurge!" Ainz could not withhold the excitement in his voice. "You said that the mine that contained this Dust was untouched, is that right?"

"Yes, Lord Ainz."

"Excellent! Excavate as much as you can." he ordered, much to their surprise. It was then he realized his mistake and inwardly cursed. "Hm, forgive me. I got ahead of myself. It seems that this Dust crystal, while largely unrefined, has immense purity. Comparing it to the small crystal the village chief showed me, this chunk of Dust contains much more power. If we were to use it as it is, it's destructive power would match a tier four spell."

Albedo's eyes widened. "Incredible! To think these lowly humans have been using something so valuable..."

_

Indeed.

Oh, and Ozpin meets Raven after years and hears HIS name

"Not quite." the man told her. "But, there is something you should see. One of the drones patrolling Mistral happened to find this."

He handed her his Scroll. Salem took it and stared at the image. It showed lush woodlands belonging to the borders of Mistral. However, there was a glaring eyesore in the picture. A large patch of land had been reduced to decay. The grass had withered away and disintegrated. The soil had become pitch black and became rotten. The plants had died out, shriveled and reduced to deathly mockeries. The trees had died as well, devoid of leaves and their bark becoming ashen white and shriveled. It was as if the life had been sucked out of this patch of land.

It was a bizarre sight, to be sure.

"What in the world did this?" she asked, curious. "If this was caused by a semblance, I would very much like to meet whoever did that."

Watts chuckled. "Then you'll find the next image to be interesting." he said. "That photo was taken about forty minutes after this one."

Salem moved to the other photograph and her eyes widened. The surroundings were the same, but the eyesore that was that lifeless patch of mother nature was gone. An abundance of life had grown over it. Roots, grass, trees and plants had all taken up residence over it. However, Salem likened it to a rushed patch job, as the overwhelming covering of greenery did not match the forest at all. She even spotted plants that were not native to Mistral at all. The trees also varied, some larger than others.

It was almost as if someone had stepped on mother nature's gas pedal and sped up the process of forest growth, with mixed results.

"Interesting..."

Oooh, she's noticed his presence and Ainz realizes the Grimm are summons in a wys, thou not the full degree.

Epic.

Perhaps you'll feel a little more motivated if I kill off the rest of your tribe?" Momonga inquired with a tilt of his head. Truth be told, he was starting to get a little bored. Even with Raven demonstrating her magical feats, his competitive spirit had not been ignited once. That was why he thought the woman needed a little more incentive to fight. "[Touch of Undeath]. [Paralysis]." A jet-black aura wrapped around his hand and encroached upon Raven. This spell would leave her unable to move for a while, giving him free time to deal with the bandits as he pleased.

But then something unusual and interesting happened. The aura that seeped into Raven's body was suddenly eradicated, as if it was destroyed. In his surprise, his grip slackened and allowed Raven to escape from him. Her mask was left behind in his hand, revealing her face to him at long last.

Momonga didn't care about her looks. She looked like what he expected. Instead, his attention was on something else.

What was that just now? I definitely casted [Paralysis] just now. With [Touch of Undeath], it should have left her totally impaired. But, that reaction… It looked like the spell was canceled out. Does she have paralysis immunity? No, I don't think that's it, either. I wonder if…

_

Maybe her maiden powers?

Damn, aura doesn't resist Heart Grasp.

But Raven transformed and managed to get away, without having to reveal her semblance.

Her magic wasn't enough, or she hadn't fully utilized it.

This is intense.

I wonder how Salem and him will clash, since she's immortal, and so powerful.

Wowzer, this is a terrific read!

Sebas nodded sternly. "Of course, lord. To begin, in regards to the black creatures that prowl the forests, we've discovered other variants of these animals. So far, we've encountered wasps, reptiles, snakes and even some form of ghost. They all share the same characteristics, however: a black body and a white mask."

"The region we're in seems to mostly consist of mountain ranges and forests." Aura continued. "There were a few plains, but they weren't very big. We also explored the mountains and found a few settlements, but as you ordered we didn't interact with their inhabitants and maintained a safe distance without being spotted."

Momonga nodded, pleased. "I see. And what of the inhabitants? What are they?"

"They appear to be a mixture of humans and demihumans, Lord Momonga." Sebas explained. "However, the demihumans are different than those from YGGDRASIL as they seem to possess animalistic traits. Some possess tails and scales, others with horns sprouting from their foreheads and a few even have an extra set of ears."

Hrm, if we're talking about animal features like a tail or ears, the demihumans could be werewolves and werecats and the like, but based on what Sebas is saying, they have other animal-like features as well.

This was good. It wasn't much, but they were learning more.

"Furthermore, it appears that most of the settlements we've discovered all seem to be built into the sides of the mountains. For the most part, their technology revolves around wind-powered contraptions and some mechanical pieces."

&_

Interesting.

But taming a Grimm?

I wonder if Salem noticed, and what Ainz would do about her immortality?

I'm eager to see how this goes and how they'll clash, the only individuals with magic, aside from Ozpin.

Looking at a mirror, he felt nothing about his predicament. In fact, when he saw his reflection, the only thing he could think of was how tall he was. When he was Satoru Suzuki, he was more or less around average height. But his gaming avatar was maybe a few heads taller than his actual body. Thinking about the real world, he wondered what had happened to his body. Had it gone catatonic? Maybe he underwent a situation where his consciousness was copied and it transferred into Momonga, while his real self was back in the other world, going about daily life as a slave to his job?

Speaking of my body…

Momonga glanced down at his pelvis before the lights in his sockets dimmed considerably. As he expected, he found nothing there.

I mean, it makes sense since I'm a skeleton and all, but… I was really hoping that wasn't the case. Well, not that it would matter in the long run. My own freaking libido gets squashed whenever I think back to how amazing groping Albedo was. Please forgive me for ruining your beloved NPC, Tabula!

_

Pfft poor guy.

Well, he's going to find he's in a world where magic, except Salem's, doesn't exist.

Interesting, and I love the literature snippets at the end.

A intriguing start.
