Chapter 6 by I_Love_Cats I_Love_Cats

Choice of location

To the Kingdom of Re-Estize!

"Hmm...maybe I should take a look at Re-Estize~! I've always wanted to explore more of the Capital before that whole, Jaldabaoth incident, hehe~ I wonder if anyone's going to be there though...let's see...Lord Ainz... er, Ainz... is currently busy running the tomb and adventuring for E-Rantel...and Narberal only scarcely travels past the area around that fortress city, and Demiurge hasn't made any moves outside the Tomb, or rather he's too caught up looking into the internal defense and security for Nazarick, even though nobody can do anything to us, really." You listed off the possibilities one by one, before finally coming to the conclusion that you'll be safe to do whatever you want there without the chance of encountering any of the other denizens. "That settles it then! ...The only thing left to take care of...is how I look..."

*Sometime later, within the capital city of the Re-Estize Kingdom...the city of Re-Estize.*

'Haah...this is the best I could come up with...but it's better than walking in a splendidly fancy white dress.' You thought to yourself as you walked through the streets of Re-Estize. You ended up switching up your usual outfit into one that more suits that of an adventurer. Although seeing as you had no low-level equipment, you opted to wear full-plate armor, which at least was far less eye-catching than the other option, save for the helmet. As for your wings and horns, you simply used an item that alters your appearance to look more human.

'Guess I should pull on a classic trope and sign up to be an adventurer at a guild, I need to try and get some more...mediocre equipment and clothes. Ugh...' For some reason, the thought of stooping down to their level enraged you, but you managed to calm down. 'Woah...Okay...I guess I didn't manage to suppress all of her personality within me...that's something I might need to work on in the future, especially if I'm going to be working alongside these filthy insec-...people...these people.' You sighed once more as you ignored the obvious stares of the citizenry, looking at you as if you were some sort of divine being. '...Maybe I should have worn a helmet, after all, these stares feel...kind of good...'

In the meantime, you made sure to sightsee around the place on your way to the guild. Though not as impressive as the Tomb of Nazarick, you certainly could appreciate the charm of the more medieval-style architecture, the cobbled streets, the brightly lit lamps, and the numerous variety of shops and stalls that inevitably littered the poorer areas on both sides of the road. You hummed brightly to yourself as you passed by these areas, making sure to mentally note the more interesting locations to come back to later, Ainz who was purely undead and could neither eat, sleep, nor feel much of anything, but you could, and damnit you were going to enjoy whatever you could! "Hm...? Is that...?" As you walked, you spotted something that looked like a brothel in the distance, along with some other interesting buildings. 'Ah, that's right, the red-light district...okay...that might be a place worth looking into later on when I actually have income...or if I get ****.' You idly thought to yourself. "Oh, is that the guild?" You approached the building.

...

"Fuaah...~!" You quickly slumped over onto the bed as you had just finished talking with the innkeeper and negotiating for the cheapest room, as you had next to no New World currency at the moment other than the ones you managed to snag from some no-name bandits on the way to the city, which you used to pay for the entrance fee. "I know this was to be expected since I saw it in the anime, but wow...this room is absolute shit..." You looked around at the clearly unkempt, messy room. It was clear that nobody really cared to take care of the place as dirt and grime were abundant along the walls, floor, and ceiling, the furniture was far less than appealing as the majority had holes or had been cracked and broken, and the bed creaked, and genuinely looked like it could fall apart at any moment. "...I need to find some requests to deal with and move to a better inn...and fast...I might end up doing something I would very much regret to this place and to the shitty insects...people...to the people living here..." You quickly got back on your feet and headed out to the adventurer's guild.

"Let's see...tracking down a lost cat...boring...help with construction work...that's a thing? Next...escort mission to the fortress city of E-Rantel...nope, not risking that...scouting out a nearby patch of woods for bandit activity? Hmm...search and destroy for a few ogres spotted on the outskirts of the city? Okay, now we're getting somewhere!" You kept looking at the quest board, using glasses, which were magical in nature, to auto-translate the written language of the New World. "Alright...might as well go for either a subjugation mission or search and destroy, those would help my rank get up there quickly." 'If I'm really **** though...hm...there is the red light district...' Is what you thought in the back of your mind.

The route of...?
