Overlord: The Path of Sin

Clan Base to Guild Base

"Suzune? Have you completed the setup?" Lucian asked with hopeful eyes.

Suzune, finally waking up, blushed from ear to ear as she nodded in response. "I'm done with it. All you need to do is add textures, skins, and other stuff. I'd love to help with that too, but unfortunately, if I don't get some sleep now, I think I'll die before I get my rewards," Suzune said, holding her aching head with fierce intensity.

"Good. Thanks for your hard work," Lucian said with a brilliant smile, his earlier tiredness vanishing, almost replaced by sheer excitement. He leaned forward, planting his lips on Suzune's forehead.

"Get some rest," Lucian said after the kiss while patting her head. He continued, "Mei Mei, take care of her and yourself." He moved his hands over her forehead and flicked her with his finger.

"What's with that, Master? Obviously, I can't sleep. I won't be a perfect maid if I slept knowing my Master was still awake. I have-" Mei Mei began to speak but was abruptly silenced as Lucian pressed his lips onto hers, shutting her mouth. Mei Mei, blushing, returned the kiss before he pulled back.

"I hope you sleep like a good girl. Otherwise, I'll have to punish you," Lucian said as he pointed toward Suzune. "Make sure she is also comfortable. We don't want our MVP to have an uncomfortable sleep."

Mei Mei looked at Lucian and replied with a short nod, followed by a "As you wish."

Lucian then immediately sat down on the comfortable and soft recliner chair. He picked up the headgear, which was placed right next to the chair, and before putting it on, he inserted his neuro transmitter into his neural port.

The console lit up as soon as he did, along with the headgear, and he dived into the virtual world.

Lucian appeared in Yggdrasil, but instead of the usual burning landscapes of Muspellsheim or the green glades of Asgard, he found himself on a massive white flying platform. It seemed unfinished, lacking textures or details.

"This is going to take time, but I need to do it," Lucian muttered to himself as he leaped onto a smaller flying platform connected to the larger one.

With determination, he accessed the clan option and found what he was looking for.

[Place connected - Citadel of Sin]

"Let's go! The backdoors are connected!" Lucian cheered as he used the option to leave the platform, vanishing in the process. He reappeared in front of a fortress within a dimensional space, the Citadel of Sin. The platform he stood on appeared connected to the fortress.

"Fuh. It's working. Time to go back," Lucian said as he returned to the white plateform.

After three hours of intense work, Lucian was finally finished. He slumped onto the virtual ground, exhausted even within the virtual world. His surroundings had transformed dramatically. The white platform around him had multiplied to form four smaller circular platforms connected by stairs, in an arc.

In the center and atop the highest platform stood a magnificent crystalline castle that glistened as if made of the most precious glass. Each circular platform led to a different base and dungeon, and the once-bland white plateform was now customized to be a beautiful intricately designed plateform that connected everything together.

"At least the basics are done now," Lucian said with a tired smile. The foundation was laid, and now he needed to perform minimal customization for each base and location, but those were the most important tasks.

Lucian had initially expected the world item [Nuwa Mending the Heaven and Earth] to grant him a well-organized base with access to all the places in a systematic, floor-like order. However, the reality was quite different. The world item had created a complex and tangled amalgamation of lands.
