Welcome to the Netherworld!

[lazyvassals]

[It is difficult to define what a normal afternoon is by Netherworld standards. In the dark, torch-lit halls of the Overlord's Castle, penguin-suited prinnies totter about pretending to do work, while most other vassals make no effort at all to pretend. No fights have broken out yet, but it is questionable how long that will last with the Overlord being awake. It is just the sort of calm that comes before something unexpected happens, or someone makes it happen out of boredom.

And that is precisely when the first stranger comes through the swirling vortex of the Dimensional Gate.

It doesn't seem so unusual at first, because people use that gate on a daily basis. But more people start to show up, people who aren't demons. The Gatekeeper herself has no idea where they've come from, or how they've found their way to the Netherworld.

Unfortunately, neither do the unexpected guests.]

Hyaaa ha ha ha ha! The Sacred Tome has infinite pages! And make as many book jokes as you want, I'm still the most badass freaking Overlord in the entire cosmos!

[makainoou]

You keep saying that, and maybe someone besides you might believe it. Someone a lot more gullible than I am.

[badassfreakingoverlord]

You're the fool if you underestimate me! The fact that you haven't heard of me is proof of just how low-tier you are as an Overlord!

[makainoou]

All it proves is that you're not that famous.

You don't listen very well either. How many times do I have to tell you to leave?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

Maybe I'll conquer your Netherworld instead of leaving it! How would you like that? I'm a worse enemy as a book than any ten ordinary Overlords you'll meet, kid!

[Laughing, Zetta demonstrates his power by aggressively flopping on his back. With a fairly startled expression.]

[makainoou]

...yeah, good luck with that. You couldn't even conquer a swimming pool with that move.

[He motions to the demon who brought Zetta in.]

Just carry him on out of here, will you?

[badassfreakingoverlord]

[The minion cheerfully salutes, then scoops up the book.]

Hey! I'm your Overlord, damn it! Stop obeying the kid!

[The book continues to rant angrily as the minion hauls him out with a vapidly cheerful smile.]
