Elden Ring System

Yggdrassil POV

As we walked towards the Guild Center gates, I looked fully at the majestic black and gold building along with the amount of people entering and leaving.

Of course due to the Redmane Knights intense pressure, their presence made many stand out of our way.

While many avoided us I started asking my system If I could receive my rewards now and to check if she can connect with this worlds System.

[Understood! But connecting with a new system will be abit troublesome unless you learn its system functions and magic]

I nodded internally and as we entered the rather large halls I saw on one side a long line of people lined up with small sacks filled with gold.

Shiroe: "Thats the bank branch, where most players come drop off their gold from quests"

Yggdrassil: "Hmm, how big is this place?"

Shiroe: "Big enough to have guilds seem finite especially since they have their own guild base within this place"

I nodded and we went to the third floor where I saw two women talking with one in a purple dress with glasses and orange hair.

The one next to her was dressed in green clothing with green hair and was sulking to the lady in front of her who took a look at my entourage of Knights before scolding the woman with green hair.

As she pushed up her lens I saw them briefly flash in a white light surprising me but I got into my power face.

???: "Marielle! Our esteemed guests have arrived!"

Marielle: "Ah! Hey Shiroe! Hello esteemed guest!"

Seeing the secretary sigh made me chuckle but I introduced myself to both women formally:

Yggdrassil: "Nice to meet you two ladies! My name is Yggdrassil, a player that simply tries to explore this vast new world"

Marielle: "Nice to meet you Yggdrassil-san! Its always nice to see some new faces in Akihabara! My name is Marielle, guild master of the Crescent Moon Alliance!"

Yggdrassil: "Nice to meet you Lady Marielle"

I responded back and finally realized that both terms she used were japanese making me think if this is a Japanese MMORPG with how many players and buildings there are.

???: "My name is Henrietta, the Crescent Moon Alliance's Accountant"

Yggdrassil: "Nice to meet you Lady Henrietta"

Henrietta: "Likewise Mr Yggdrassil, I hope your meeting is able to come to an agreement"

I nodded seriously and miss Henrietta took us inside and I assigned two of the knights to stand guard outside and the other three to follow us.

I looked around the surprisingly massive hall my reaction made both Henrietta and miss Marielle smile with Henrietta having a small smug on her face.

Yggdrassil:"How surprising! But I must say your Guild Hall looks wonderful!"

Marielle: "Hai! Everyone in Crescent Moon Alliance contributed to design the place! So its always a joy when others appreciate it!"

Indeed, that does remind me that there are buildings I could get in the shop and free buildings in the specific gatcha.

???: "Hey miss Henrietta and Guildmaster!"

Henrietta: "Hello there"

Marielle: "Moh! I told you to call me Marielle not Guild master!"

???: "Hai! Nice to meet you two! Woah! Are these three knights are NPC's!"

???: "Ah! Forgot to introduce myself! My names Shouryuu! Leader of the Shibuya Raid Team, nice to meet you!"

Yggdrassil: "Nice to meet you too"

As we walked towards their meeting room I saw the other Crescent Moon Alliance members greet us amicably as we walked past them.

Once we entered their meeting room both Henrietta and Marielle were about to leave but Shiroe had stopped them.

Shiroe: "I would like the two of you to join us as the basis of our talk is the same and it is a favor"

Henrietta: "Oh my, to expect the villain in glasses to need our help is surprising!"

Shiroe: "Hah…"

I chuckled seeing their interaction but everyone took a seat and waited on what Shiroe had to day.

Shiroe: "Firstly, I want to formally give you my gratitude for saving both Minori and Tohya from the Hamelin Guild"

Shiroe: "But this wont end just there, to get fully rid of them they need to be exiled from Akiba"

Henrietta: "By them you mean…"

Shiroe: "Hamelin"

Henrietta: "Im sorry but-"

Shiroe: "Im sorry, but plase let me finish. Hamelins just a small portion of this"

Shiroe: "To be honest, I don't really like the way Akihabara feels right now. Its petty, pathetic, and cheap"

Shiroe: "Thats why im going to clean the place up.."

Shiroe: "Akihabara is our hometown, its the largest city on the Japanese server and its sad, unpleasant, and frail with everyones heads down"

Shiroe: "Its as if our only purpose in life were to be pathetic. We number 30,000 but that also means there are only 30,000 of us players"

Shiroe: "Honestly, I believe everyone has been underestimating this world far too much. We aren't nearly desperate enough"

Once Shiroe had finished talking he slowly got up before bowing to all four of us and spoke loudly.

Shiroe: "Please help me…"

Marielle: "Shiroe…"

Shouryuu: "Could we atleast hear him out? For a long time I've been feeling the same way"

Marielle: "Shouryuu…"

Henrietta: "How would you do it? It would all depend on your plan and we'll decide if it's something we can help you with"

Shiroe: "I need money. For now, 5,000,000 gold"

As if a bomb went off in their minds and so did mine, we all looked at him with dumbfounded looks on our faces.

I only have the gold I gained for killing those Hamelin guys so how am I supposed to participate in making that type of money!

Marielle: "F-five million gold!"

Shouryuu: "M-money…"

Henrietta: "W-we only have 60,000 in our treasury. Even if we included all our members belongings…"

Marielle: "What would you use that money on?"

I nodded at Marielle's words, bringing everyone back from their previous state as we all listened to what Shiroe would say next.

Shiroe: "The money isn't that important, it's only the start. The real problem comes after…"

Shiroe: "I need everyones hope and goodwill

Shiroe: "I believe that more people like this town than hate it. The more people who want to save it, the more likely it is that we can win"

Shiroe: "So i'll say it again, lend your assistance to me… and to my guild"

Marielle: "Now hold on Shiroe, did you just said "my guild"!?"

Shiroe: "Indeed I have"

Henrietta: "Then you made one?"

Shiroe: "And im sorry, since yoy've invited me"

Marielle: "No, it's nothing to apologize for…"

Marielle: "So you finally made one…Im glad you finally have a home to be with!""

Henrietta: "Whats it's name Shiroe?"

Shiroe: "Ah right, it's name is….Log Horizon"

Marielle: "It has a nice ribg to it!"

Yggdrassil: "A fine name Indeed"

Henrietta: "Getting back on topic, how do you expect us to raise that much money Shiroe…?"

Shiroe: "Well, this is my current plan…"

1 hour later

Shiroe: "So what are your thoughts?"

Marielle: "YAY! We get to make our own restaurant! Everyone gets to have fun and we profit massively!"

Henrietta: "Interesting enough, but we would be handicapped due to our small numbers and we only have 4 level 90 players with the rest being Level 30 and above"

Shiroe: "Indeed, but what are your thoughts Yggdrassil-san"

After discussing his plans with us all I could think is that it will work but progress will be slow and at most take a few months getting the 5 Million.

Yggdrassil: "As lady Henrietta said, the only problem would be numbers but I am all for it. I wouldn't mind hunting down the ingredients with my Knights as well"

Shiroe: "Thank you all for accepting my proposal"

Marielle: "I will immediately go and tell everyone the new-"

Henrietta: "Now wait a second Marielle, If I recall you need to finish yesterdays paperwork and todays new paperwork for the lease of new land for our restaurant!"

Marielle: "N-no! You can't possibly do this to me Henrietta you Meanie!"

Watching the two of them talk and bicker about workload reminded me to never become a Guild Leader if I ever do.

Yggdrassil: "Well, if you wouldn't mind telling us where the areas for the ingredients are we can start now?"

Shouryuu: "Gladly! Don't worry Marielle, the Shibuya Raid team will get all of those ingredients prepared for you!"

Marielle: "Aw, thanks alot Shouryuu!"

Marielle had hugged Shouryuu into her chest and made the little guy turn red and I laughed before coughing awkwardly and after afew minutes Shouryuu took us out of their Guild hall with the Shibuya Raid team in tow.

With us leaving the room, it left Shiroe, Henrietta, and Marielle to talk more about myself and the Knights.

[Ding]

And a new quest for me to complete and gain benefits from…

Narrator POV

Henrietta: "So, what are your thoughts on our new ally?"

Shiroe: "Well, although they were suspecious I thought they were part of the Knights of Izumo but they have weird Insignias and their stature is vastly bigger"

Marielle: "Hmm, Well they follow Yggdrassils orders fully!"

Shiroe: "Indeed, from what Minori told me they executed all enemies with flames but she heard one of them call him "Lord" which is weird considering he seems like a player"

Henrietta:"Hmm, where there any subclasses that made you have nobility to lead knights?"

Shiroe: "If I recall, only Noble and Commander can lead knights, unless our new world changed the effects of their subclass"

Marielle: "Well I trust him, he seems amicable and trustworthy!"

Henrietta: "If you're speaking right now, then that means your ready for more paperwork right?"

Marielle: "W-what!? No more!"

As Shiroe was in deep thought he walked over to the window and saw Yggdrassil walk out the Guild Center with Shouryuu taking lead.

Shiroe: "We have time to verify his intentions, if he is truthful and doesn't want to harm anyone then well trust him"

Henrietta: "Understood villain in glasses"

Shiroe: "Sigh, ill never get rid of that nickname will I…?"

Henrietta: "No, many players recognize the nickname than your character itself! But more importantly, where is Akatsuki?"

Shiroe: "Akatsuki? Well she was with us but left once she saw you…"

Henrietta: "Sigh, then tell her I have some dresses waiting for her to try on!"

Shiroe: "U-uh yes, I'll tell her that"

Thus, in the upcoming months Yggdrassil wouldn't expect to be watched but it wouldn't matter to him as he met new people and grinded runes tirelessly.

Back to Yggdrassil POV

1 Hour Later

Once we arrived to the outskirts of Akihabara we traveled through the forests and heard countless explosions and roars in the distance.

While walking I looked at the Systems new quest and quietly asked the system if there would be another one due to the hunting of wild boars.

[Ah, right right, hope you like these new quests Host!]

[~~~~~~~~~~NEW QUEST~~~~~~~~~]

Quest name: Butchering of Wild Boar

Quest Type: Hunting/Gathering/Capture

Quest Timer: Limitless until further notice

Quest Description: As you remember Shiroes words to start a fast food business, he wants to make a stable supply of meat ingredients so you must hunt wild boars with the Battle team Leader Shouryuu and his team!

Rewards: 15x gold per Wild boar Hunted, 1x Universal Gatcha Ticket every 50x Boars hunted, and 1x Summoning Gatcha Ticket every 30x Boar hunted

Do you accept the Quest?

{YES/NO}

[~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~]

I accepted the quest and focused more on the first quest I recieved as we entered the forest and I took out both of my Uchigatanas getting the attention of All redmane Knights.

ROOOOAAARR!!!

???: "HELP ME!!!"

As I was about to ask Shouryuu if we were going to help, he helplessly shook his head as he explained.

Shouryuu: "While I would like to help I can't risk having our highest level raid team die or we won't be able to claim hunting spots for our guild"

Shouryuu: "Plus, while PK has decreased to an extent there are still groups out there that trick other players and kill them…"

Yggdrassil: "Hmm, is that so? Then let me ask you this…"

As the atmosphere suddenly changed with the Redmane Knights stopping as their weapons lit in fire and raised them with their fang-shaped greatshields raised high.

Whoosh!

Thud

???: "ARGHHH!!!"

Seeing Zeldroth nock an arrow and let go all four members of the raid team looked at me with suspicion and shrprise as they moved to defensive positions.

Shouryuu: "Whats the meaning of thi-!"

Yggdrassil: "Are you able to take on a large group of enemy players…?"

Making sense of my words, Shouryuu quickly told his group to swiftly get into positions to strike against the incoming players.

???: "Heh, guess you need to work on your acting skills hesena!"

Hesena: "Shut up!"

Shouryuu: "Everyone prepare for battle!"

Yggdrassil: "Zeldroth prepare to target any of their healers that wear white clothing or light up in yellow light…"

Zeldroth: "As you command my Lord"

Yggdrassil: "The rest of you charge like theres nothing to fear! Go as aggressive as you physically can and give them hell"

???: "Hey you bastards! Drop your valu-

Within moments all four frontline Redmane Knights eyes turned red as they began running towards the nearby players who were surprised by the sudden charge.

Whoosh

Bam!

The Knight with a partisan slammed his shield onto the player with a large shield and backed off as a fireball exploded in his place.

Boom!

The knight struck again in a flurry of three consecutive strikes that knocked the wind out of shield player.

The knight stabbed his partisan through the players stomach as he screamed in agony at the pain of his flesh being burnt.

???: "Arghh!!! H-Healer!!!"

Whoosh!

Thud!

???: "Im hea- ARGHHH"

With an great arrow shot from Zeldroths Greatbow the healers chest got caved in as she coughed up blood and got pinned to a tree much to the shock of everyone present but the knights and myself.

???: "Shit! Mages attack the archer!"

???: "Im trying but the four level 90 players are targeting us!"

Shouryuu: "Since you dared to attack us I hope you guys don't miss your loot!"

Shouryuu: "Viper strike!"

Shouryuu managed to strike a Warriors arms nimbly and his arms glowed green and swiftly Shouryuu had swung both swords in a flurry of strikes that managed to kill off a player.

Shouryuu: "Nice! Lets go for-"

As Shouryuu was about to move to help another of his teammates an assasin had snuck behind and stabbed his dagger into Shouryuu's back.

Shouryuu: "Argh! When did a-"

I swiftly moved towards Shouryuu and with both Uchigatanas stabbed through the assasin but it seemed to be a clone as it dispersed into black mist.

Yggdrassil: "Damn"

I felt my back get a dagger stabbed through yet that did not mater for Zeldroth had fired and that penetrated the unexpecting assasins back with mine.

???: "Gah! W- cough… why would you h-hurt your own-

Rip!

Tear!

Yggdrassil: "When you fight, give it your dam all otherwise whats the point of a fight…"

I slowly got up and switched my handles in a reverse grip before stabbing both of the Uchigatanas through my body as blood pooled down my body.

Drip

Drip

???: "ARGHH!!! You crazy fuck-"

Whoosh!

Rip!

Crack!

I ducked my head down as another arrow had been shot and killed the Assasin as the arrow split apart her head.

Hearing her body turn into loot I hummed as I took out my Uchigatanas from my body and swung them in a cross as a large sword struck horizontally pushing me back but I stepped back and raising my left leg I kicked the tall players liver with the tip of my geta sandals.

The player scrunched up his face before falling down as his weapon dropped and I swiftly put it in my inventory and stabbed my katanas through his eyes as he screamed in agony grabbing his eyes.

Summoning Dismounter I roared before forcefully tearing off his neck as he died in true agony with most players stopping to look at the horrifying scene before all of them lost it and screamed in horror.

???: "W-what the actual fu-"

???: "W-why is this gory…?"

???: "Fuck, this world truly has become real…"

???: "E-everyone retreat!"

Yggdrassil: "Hunt down every single one of them!"

But because of their surprise, all knights pushed forwards not stopping for them as many got skewered by arrows or partisans stabbing through their bodies.

???: "Argh!"

???: "Help!!!"

???: "N-no stop, Im not having fun any- GAHH!"

On one side, a knight with a greatsword rammed into a fighter player and pushed him back before he dodged the knights overhead swing but not his flames that spanned forwards like a wave of fire burning him.

Whoosh!

???: "Shit! Humanoid enemies were always tougher! But not to this extent!"

Whoosh

Clang!

Thud

Booom!

Whoosh

Rip!

Thud

The Knights kept pushing onwards with few slamming their greatshields onto the fighter or tank players before they rushed forwards with their weapons low to ground before raising them and skewering them with their partisans or greatswords.

I looked at the leader that was a mage and swiftly charged forwards jumping over a player with a large shield but they had used a taunt skill that made me focus on him surprising me.

Yggdrassil: "Interesting…"

I swiftly charged forwards and as he slashed towards me I sidestepped and stabbed my katanas through his unarmored armpits making him scream in agony but I didn't end it there.

I pulled back my katanas slowly before I stabbed them through his arm and forcefully started to cut off his shoulder.

???: "S-stop IT!!! ARGHHH!!! It fucking hu- AHHH!!!"

Crack!

Rip!

Tear!

Whoosh

After a few seconds of struggling later I managed to chop off his arm as he kneeled down trying to hold onto his chopped off limb but I finally ended it by stabbing my sword through his eyebrows.

Seeing three of their members die in the cruelest ways all remaining players fled quickly and the four level 90 players from the Crescent Moon Alliance stared aghast at the knights who had players skewered upon their partisans before they threw their bodies to the side as they turned into loot.

Shouryuu: "H-hey Mr Yggdrassil, which guild are you guys with exactly…?"

Yggdrassil: "Guild? Im not part of a Guild but its just me and my knights"

Shouryuu was surprised but turned serious as he cautiously asked me what my subclass was which made me think awhile before asking the system.

[It is fine to tell him due to a few rare sub-classes being able to recruit Knights but I will just go with A High Noble since you will be recruiting more knights]

Yggdrassil: "Well, my sub-class is a High Noble and I've managed to make these knights recognize me!"

Shouryuu: "Ah High Nobl-, HUH?! How did you manage to get the High Noble class!?"

???: "Only NPC's have that title but the developers have been crafty before hiding parts of the patches…"

I simply chuckled and pointed at the dropped loot from our attackers which Shouryuu nodded and told me we could have it as we dealt with a majority of the attackers.

Yggdrassil: "Pick up the loot dropped by our assailants and get back to formation before we start hunting!"

All four knights went around the battlefield and picked up the gold, pieces of equipment, swords, staffs, and shields dropped from players.

After a couple of minutes everything was picked up and we quickly left for the Crescent Moon Alliance Farming area.

5 minutes later

As we arrived I saw the over abundance of wild boars that seemed to be 3x bigger than normal.

Shouryuu: "Heh, its a nice farming spot for our lower leveled members to farm in and with Sir Nyanta's cooking skills im sure we can make our restaurant thrive!"

Yggdrassil: "Although I have yet to meet this fellow he seems to be well respected and great in the art of cooking with all the praise he is getting"

Shouryuu: "Right! Well then, shall we get to hunting?"

I grinned and raised both my katanas as I prepared for a slaughter and the rewards I would recieve.

Yggdrassil: "You want them knocked out or head chopped off?"

Shouryuu: "Mr Shiroe said to bring in the boars whole but with the amount of Boars here it shouldn't be a problem!"

I nodded and swiftly I changed my weapon to the players shield and remembering the sleep pots, I asked the system to buy me 50 of them.

[Before buying, most pots will be 500 runes each. Are you sure you don't want to buy the materials then craft them?]

I thought about it but thinking on the old crow I nodded and soon enough I recieved all 50 sleep pots that were transferred in my inventory.

Yggdrassil: "Shouryuu, do you guys have wagons to take the boars back

Shouryuu: "Ah?"

???: "Oh…."

???: "Sigh, captain got too exited he forgot to bring one back…"

???: "Then why didn't you tell him Hien?"

Hien: "…..I forgot…."

I sighed but looked at my inventory but I don't know if they can use them since this place has changed from how it originally was supposed to be.

So I simply said I would take care of it which I did by buying 5 large Wagons and placing them down on the dirt path.

Whoosh

Thud

Thud

Thud

Thud

Thud

As all five wagons appeared out of nowhere, most of the raid team looked at the wagons in surprise before staring at me and nodded.

Shouryuu: "Guess that solves that, now lets get-"

I took out ten sleep pots and gave it to Shouryuu who took them in confusion not knowing what to do with them.

Yggdrassil: "Their pots with sleeping powder you can throw at the boars to get them unconscious and easier to hunt"

Yggdrassil: "Id say to gather a large group of boars and throw one pot to get a large number"

Shouryuu: "Thank you! This will make Marie be even more happy!"

I simply nodded and got started to hunt with the knights following to a different part of the forest as we started hunting the boars with 3 of the wagons being carried by the knights.

??? POV

Shit! Just who have we messed with!? I thought these small guilds didn't have any strong players!

???: "Fuck, who the fuck was that!? Boss two of the three members got trauma and the morale of the others dropped with five quitting already…"

Hearing him say that angered me madly and I roared madly wanting to seek revenge on him and at that very moment I felt the mana in the surroundings instantly dissapear and as I turned around I saw not my guild member but a monsters.

???: "W-what the actual fuck is that…!"

???: "Heh, monster huh? Wouldn't you like to get some revenge on that human…?"

???: "What? Y-you aren't here to kill me?"

???: "Hmm, if you manage to provide me with entertainment and tribute I will give you immense power thats is stronger than the players you face"

Hearing such a sweet deal I wanted to accept but I knew there was a bigger price than it just ending in my death.

???: "So what if I can't give you entertainment…?"

The humanoid monster simply stood there before it started slowly laughing and in an instant its hand pierced through my chest and as I saw my status slowly change.

???: "N-no! S-stop it!!!"

I saw my level slowly decrease from level 87 to level 35 and I felt all my special skills be locked and my mana decreasing.

???: "No…NOOOOO!!!!!"

As I screamed wanting to inform anyone outside to help me but it was all for naught as I saw the humanoid monster leave after whispering some words.

???: "Tch, damn travelers not accepting our gifts…oh well…. I should have some of the other fools accept my gift and destroy Akiba from within…"

Once he left everything returned to normal and Kleiss looked at me with shock and concern.

Kleiss: "B-boss!!! What happ-"

???: "Let me be Kleiss…we will be busy for the next few days…"

Kleiss: "Fine, just don't go dying in a ditch"

I chuckled weakly and I saw the humanoid monster appear again from kleiss shadow.

???: "KEKEKE, I'm guessing you are accepting my offer for power…?"

???: "I accept your gift, just don't touch my guild members you beast…"

???: "Kekeke, I expect great results from you little player…ke..ke..ke"

???: "Fuck…"

Not long after I felt my level return to my and my access to mana making me take a deep breath before I felt empowered with some dark thoughts appearing in my mind slowly changing my train of thought.

Yggdrassil POV

2 Hours Later

Oink!

Huff!

Oink!

ROOOAARR!!!

Looking at the running mountain of a boar roar loudly and seeing Shouryuu chase after it made me chuckle before Shouryuu started shouting to throw sleep pots.

Shouryuu: "THROW SOME SLEEP POTS!!!"

I aimed and fired a sleep pot at the boars face and as it splashed it shook its head but its eyes turned red as it charged towards me.

Zeldroth: "Lord! Your hand!"

Neigh!

Whoosh!

Clap!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

BAM!

Hearing Zeldroths voice I raised my hand and got picked up onto the back of Zeldroths horse which got away from the Wild Boar King's charge as it tore through numerous trees.

ROOOAAAR!!!

Moving its slow body around it wanted to chase down the horse but it got another sleep pot thrown in its face angering it more.

As it tried moving, Shouryuu arrived and swiftly used Viper Slash on its right leg making it suddenly kneel as it squealed loudly feeling pain.

Shouryuu: "The Wild Boar King needs more sleeping pots Yggdrassil!"

I nodded and Zeldroth directed his horse towards the Boar Kings face which I stared throwing sleep pots at its face which after two more pots finally closed its eyes as it started snoring.

Huff

Shouryuu: "F-finally managed to get the Wild Boar King! Marie and the others will be so happy!"

I chuckled before looking at the massive Wild Boar King and back at the overfilled wagons and back to the boar King.

Both: "Yeah we won't have enough space…"

Yggdrassil: "So you grab the frontlegs and I will carry the back legs!"

Shouryuu: "Eh!? But it look-"

Yggdrassil: "You wanna impress Marielle?"

As if he gained realization from the heavens he took a deep breath and swiftly picked up the boar with unknown strength.

Shouryuu: "You ready to move out!"

Yggdrassil: "Yes sir! Lets move out!"

Yggdrassil: "Zeldroths get all knights to move the wagons and regroup with Shouryuu's team and follow us back to Crescent Moon Alliance store!"

Zeldroth: "Understood my Lord! Lets get moving!"

Not long after we lifted the entire boar and roared in anguish feeling the weight but we stood strong and slowly moved towards the gate of Akihabara.

Narrator POV

2.5 Hours later

???: "Hey whats that over there…?"

???: "Huh? What is that!"

???: "Wait look below the monster!"

When a massive mountain of a wild boar appears most were surprised ready to attack but hearing what one of the player said many looked below and saw a wolf fang holding all of that heavy weight.

Shouryuu: "….Ma…ri…e"

???: "Wait did he say something?"

Shouryuu: "Mar…ie!"

???: "Think I heard him say-"

Shouryuu: "MARIE!!!"

In a sudden rush the Wild boar King got moved towards an rented out warehouse were the Wild Boar King finally was put down with both Shouryuu and Yggdrassil kneeling down and falling unconscious.

Zeldroth: "Lord!"

???: "Shouryuu!"

As both figures fell their respective guardians came and picked them on the floor but more importantly the amount of boars that were stacked upon each wagon shocked the majority of the Crescent Moon members.

???: "My oh my, it seems we will get our business up and running quite early"

???: "Thats right Nyanta! And I can finally try your cooking again!"

???: "Yeah! Trying chiefs cooking is always a pleasure!"

Nyanta: "Now now Naotsugu, I will be teaching our young fellows how to properly cook without using the system so it will be awhile till then"

Naotsugu: "Ah man, here I was expecting…"

Nyanta: "But I must say, Shiroes friends never seem to amaze me"

Naotsugu: "Oh yeah, looks like both of them carried the Wild Boar King all the way from its hunting grounds. I respect the journey like a real man!"

Whilst both were talking, Shouryuu had been resting with other members poking him Yggdrassil was surrounded by the Redmane knights as they waited for their Lord to wake up.

As both Naotsugu and Nyanta talked some of the members walked near them and started talking about the previous events that happened which was the ambush and pure cruelty both the knights and Yggdrassil did to their enemies.

Nyanta: "Well, well it seems we've got an interesting yet dangerous fellow with us~"

Naotsugu: "Still, it looks like this guy is trustworthy and takes thing seriously"

Nyanta: "Still, he is completely independent of the systems attack patterns and has developed his own style that targets weakpoints efficiently"

Naotsugu: "Hmm, well we have enough time to get to know him better. But more importantly, he is a player with the sub-class of a High Noble"

Nyanta: "Nontheless, if Shiroe trusts him we will accept him as one of our own~"

Naotsugu: "Haha, you're right about that one Chief!"

Yggdrassil POV

30 minutes later

As I slowly woke up I shook my head and looked at the two blue screens in front of me and accepted my rewards.

Huh, guess I really became a High Noble. But more importantly, I now have 9x Universal Gatcha Tickets, and a lot of affinity with people increased.

I got up slowly and saw most of the Crescent Moon members look at me in awe and fear but I didn't mind especially when Elden Ring is a cruel and grim place.

I told the system to spin 2x of the Universal Gatcha tickets on the Structures Wheel, 3x Universal Gatcha Tickets on the Special Weapons Wheel, 2x Universal Gatcha Tickets on the Sorceries Wheel, and the last two tickets on the Attribute Wheel.

[Spinning all 4 Gatcha wheels now!…. Spinning…first reward picked spinning…. Spinning… second reward picked….]

All I could hope for was to get lucky and have Hakari's luck in gambling. So as I waited on the system to continue rolling, I focused on the two members of Shiroes Guild.

[Spinning… third reward picked… spinning… fourth reward picked!]

Seeing me wake up and looking at them I walked over to speak to them in order to get to know them better especially since the cat guy was an excellent cook.

Nyanta: "So you must be Yggdrassil that Shiroe was talking about~"

Yggdrassil: "Indeed, and you must be the famous chef Shouryuu was talking about"

Nyanta laughed at that and told me they would start cooking shortly so if I wanted to join I should.

I nodded since I genuinely wanted to see if I could cook up something by myself and learn first hand.

4 Hours later

While Nyanta had taught myself and any interested player cooking he soon told us that the restaurant opening was about to begin so those confident in their skill could come and cook up the food and ingredients.

I decided to go with him to learn cooking even more and asked the knights to bring three wagons full of Ingredients and boars to follow us to the restaurant location.

20 minutes later

Once arriving the wagons were parked outside on the back and the Crescent Moon Alliance players quickly grabbed the ingredients and headed inside the tent to start cooking with Nyanta leading as Head Chef.

Nyanta: "Everyone! Lets give it our all and make the customers happy~!"

All: "Yes sir!"

At the same time I received another quest from the system and I accepted it since it seems like a fun quest.

3 hours later

3:36 PM

Yggdrassil: "Damn, I never thought I would have untapped potential as a cook…but now I can continue cooking up food that tastes amazing!"

Nyanta: "It was quite a surprise huh~? And it's nice to teach students the art of cooking again…"

As Nyanta Reminisced about his past I didn't bother him but I heard new Orders arrive and everyone quickly started cooking up again but there werent enough beef patties.

Yggdrassil: "Chief! Were running out of beef patties quickly"

Nyanta: "Ill call Naotsugu to bring more Ingredients but it is close to our closing time"

Yggdrassil: "Got it! You want to have someone tell them well be closing soon?"

Nyanta: "Yes, ill ask the little lady to tell them the line stops at 30 more players~"

I nodded and went back to cooking and seasoning the remaining beef patties I took a look at the rewards gained and much to say, I had a ton of emotions running around in my mind.

[You gained the following rewards! Redmane Castle and Castle Sol from the Structure Wheel]

This….Zeldroth and the others will be happy to be back home but just how will the entire structure work? Will it still have the red atmosphere or will it change fully?

Only time would tell, but then theres Castle Sol which I wonder if the Ice breathing Lions will be there as its security.

[Ancient Meteoric Ore Greatsword, Deaths Poker, and Golden Order Greatsword aquired from the Unique Weapons Wheel]

Well ill be damned, I got an upgrade for my Uchigatana and got an useful weapon with Deaths poker. Then theres the Golden Order Greatsword which I don't know what to say about it other than hoping theres undead I could use it on.

[Glintstone pebble and Eternal Darkness sorceries aquired from the Sorcery wheel]

Yggdrassil: "Eternal Darkness, wonder if its effects still remain the same here"

[You gained 5 and 15 Attritube points from the Attribute Wheel]

Sigh, I shouldnt have my hopes high but thats essentially 20 levels I can put towards my stats which Ill do later otherwise ill make a fool of myself.

Still, I have the other gatcha tickets to use so guess its time to use those and see what I will get.

[Spinning wheels now! Spinning….spinning …rewards chosen!…. Spinning…. Spinning… reqards have been chosen!]

[These are the following Rewards! 3x Banished Knights, 2x Giant Dogs, 3x Redmane Knights, 1x Fallingstar Beast, and 1x High Page for the Summoning Wheel!]

Shit….unexpectedly got the Fallingstar Beast and 3x Banished knights to fight and make them become my subordinates…sigh…

[These are the following Rewards! 1x Leyndell Soldier set, Banished Knight set, and Rulers seat for the Armor Wheel!]

Yes! My beloved Banished Knight set is back! Oh how I've missed you without looking cool with your shining steel armor.

As much as I would love to equip this on right now there are a lot of people watching me and the knights.

I sighed and looked at the still long line of players and those who went back to buy more but the long red haired girl in a pink and white uniform held a sign with End of the line.

???: "U-uhm Thank you all for staying in line but we will be closing soon"

???: "What!? I stayed in line here for so long but I don't even get anything!"

???: "Wah! Please don't get mad, I-im just a messenger!"

As he was complaining so were afew of the other players who wanted to eat some good hamburgers but I couldn't take these idiots seriously.

Nyanta: "Now now, thats now how you speak to a Lady"

Yggdrassil: "Ill take care of it Nyanta"

???: "Hey man stop bothering the ki-"

???: "Shut it! Dont you feel the same? Wasting all your time and not buying some hamburgers that probably taste like tra-"

Yggdrassil: "Now I can't let you go and talk badly about these players food, who have trained and learned manually by their own hands…"

As I slowly started walking towards the man who pushed back the guy behind him and took out his Iron greatsword I started putting on my Banished Knight Armor that appeared on my body in small white motes of light.

I took out my Death Poker and as it dragged on the dirt floor I pointed the front of death poker towards him.

Yggdrassil: "Ill defend the reputation of this shop since I've decided to protect it so are you prepared…?"

???: "Tch, stop talking lets fight!"

As the player ran forwards lighting up his blade in yellow light, I placed the 20 attribute points evenly into the necessary requirements for death poker.

I put 5 points into strength, 7 in dexterity, 2 into Intelligence, and the rest into Endurance and I pulled back my left arm and with the end of the Death Poker, ghostflames appeared in front of it.

Waiting as the ghostflame Increased in power and density I raised Death Poker and slammed it down onto the ghostflame the player tried to back off from but the large explosion caught everyone off guard.

Whooosh!!!

BOOOOOOMMM!!!!!!

In a wave of ghostflame that exploded It sent the player flying as he crashed down with Ghostflame clinging to his body doing frostbite damage.

???: "Arghh!!!"

I did not stop there, I thrusted my arm and aimed at the player in agonizing pain as another ghostflame appeared and instead of bringing it down I swiped it in a horizontal swing as a trail of ghostflame riddled the path towards the unlucky player.

Whoosh!!!

Crackle

Whoosh!

Crackle

Whoosh!

???: "Arghh My mind and body!!! Someone help me!!!"

But noone came to his help, and as much as he begged for help, he had it coming. After a couple more seconds the flames stopped burning and the player layed on the ground groaning.

???: "I-I give…ugh…"

I nodded and swiftly took off my helmet and put away my Death Poker and felt all the extra weight dissapear making me relax a little.

Nyanta: "Nice work out there~"

Yggdrassil: "Thank you, but that should make others players not mess around with the Restaurant"

Whe nodded and told me to pack up with the others since most customers left in a heartbeat.

I told the knights to pack up the leftover ingredients and empty cages and bring them back to the warehouse.

I started picking up everything up along with the other crescent moon players and once we were done we headed back towards the Ware house were everyone had wide smiles and celebrating the success of the restaurant.

While I was moving stuff I was approached by the other cooks who came by to thank me for saying what I said earlier.

Yggdrassil: "Don't mention it, you guys worked hard and made many love your food so hearing someone say it's trash is off putting for the effort you put into it before I came along"

???: "Damn, may you have a blessed day"

???: "Rhanks for the compliment Yggdrassil-san!"

???: "Thanks once again for standing up for us"

I nodded and headed towards Nyanta before telling him If they had a place to rest I could rent out.

Nyanta: "Well, I would saya yes but I doubt many members of the Crescent Moon Alliance would like having your Knights watching them as they sleep"

I hummed and decided to just find a place far away from the city, build the Redmane Castle and summon all the Redmane Knights to see their reactions and see the view.

Yggdrassil: "Right, well ill be gone for tomorrow so if there's anything you need send me a call!"

Nyanta nodded and finally, I recieved a different blue screen than regular. Now I am able to use their Game system UI to the fullest!

I said my farewells and left the warehouse with the knights in tow as we left the city to go towards a deserted place far away so that we wouldn't get annoyed by other players

I can only hope I am able to rebuild Radahn's forces quickly and make the Redmanes live up to their names as the Guardians of Caelid with sheer dedication and Will.
