In the Adventurer's Guild of Erantel, specifically in the Guild Leader's office, four people sat next to each other. Tension filled the room, weighing down the atmosphere.
Albert and Ainzak's faces were pale from the surprise they had just heard. "...uhh, Veldora-san... I don't think I heard well. who is this again?" Albert asked with a tone of uncertainty tinged with disbelief in his voice.
"Like I told you earlier... this is my daughter," Velzard said, pointing at the small, white-haired girl sitting next to her, eating a cookie.
"No, how did this happen? Since when did you have a daughter?! Are you even married?" Albert asked again, getting up from his seat and approaching Velzard.
".....it's a long story." Velzard snorted, remembering how she had gotten a daughter in the first place.
16 hours ago
In a mountainous area far from civilization, the morning sun shone with its golden light on the mountain peaks, spreading the warmth left behind by the cold night. Inside one of the mountains, there is a secret base hidden from the world, filled with ferocious monsters and an even stranger world, waiting for the right moment to come to light and spread chaos.
Inside the base:...
Blood and debris were scattered all over the place, announcing the occurrence of a fierce battle between two powerful forces. The air was filled with chills and ice, along with the frozen ground and the pieces of severed and rotting flesh. The foul stench of rotting flesh filled the air, making it impossible to breathe there.
If you focus a little on one of the cave walls, you will immediately see a ten-meter-long hole in the wall with claw marks and cracks next to it. As for what was on the other side of the hole, it was a hidden room containing many empty cells with broken doors.
There were four cages along the corridor, all in the same condition, well almost all of them. In the last cage was a huge pile of rotting, congealed flesh with a smell even worse than the one outside. Not far from the pile of flesh, a black shield lay motionless, no sign of breathing or heartbeat. To anyone else, it would have been lifeless. But inside it was no one.
"Ummm," a voice came from inside the armor announcing the wearer's awakening. Only a few moments passed before he started moving and stood up, trying to comprehend his situation.
"Ah? Where am I... Oh right, I remember now," said Velzard in a deep voice, tinged with confusion at first before she remembered what had happened.
"So it wasn't a dream, which means..." She then turned her attention to what had previously been something that could have killed her if it had a bit of intelligence. She clenched her hands, angry and disappointed.
"And I thought I was strong, but I was a frog at the bottom of the well who didn't know the lake outside. Even an unknown person like this defeated me, let alone the major powers in the world!" She said angrily at how weak she was.
The atmosphere began to get cold, the walls and floors freezing at a rapid pace until it covered the entire room.
"aaahhgg!" she screamed as she punched the wall behind her, shattering it into thousands of pieces.
After that moment of anger, she sighed as she calmed herself down. "No, it's okay. I'm getting stronger with every battle. There's still a long time until the story begins, so I won't give up just like that." She said with a gleam of hope and determination in her eyes under the helmet. "Oh, and by the way, that was a tough battle. I used up all my manti and even took a lot of damage, so I should be much stronger than I was before the fight." Knowing that the harder the battle and the stronger the opponent, the stronger her own strength would be. With that thought, she opened the status screen to check her progress.

Velzard :"...."
When she saw her condition, she didn't say a single word, and her expression didn't change even from the shock. But after reading it several more times, she finally came out of her shock and understood what was written in front of her: "Holy shit!!"
She exploded with a scream at the top of her lungs, even a hint of her feminine voice escaping from the armor. "Is this real?! I'm not dreaming, right?!" She didn't ask anyone in particular, but said it to make sure for herself. Joy and disbelief overwhelmed her entire being.
But as soon as she approached the pile of meat, she smelled the air, and her face turned green (metaphorically) from the stench overwhelming the place. With her armor on, she couldn't hold her nose.
"Yes, this is real, too real. I don't know whether to be happy about my development or cry from the smell." Even though she was suffering from a sore nose, she couldn't help but smile. In her current state, she was sure that if she fought him again, she would defeat him.
*Kriik*boom!*
An explosion behind her interrupted her stream of thoughts, snapping her out of her predicament.
She quickly turned around in a fighting stance, ready in case of a sneak attack. But what she encountered wasn't a monster or any kind of attack, but a metal door, somewhat advanced by this world's technology.
"What the.."She took a step back, to say the door surprised her would be an understatement." I Am still in Overlord Right ?"
She was doubtful for a moment, as she didn't remember any advanced technology in the anime, and the fact that the outside world seemed to be set in the Middle Ages supported this idea.
She walked forward until she faced the black door with red lines. The door was about three meters long and had no handle, but it had many buttons with a small screen for entering the password.
Velzard being Velzard didn't know the password naturally, but was she going to let that stop her from getting in?, of cours no.
*crick boom*... Yap she broke the door.
Upon entering, she was faced with a futuristic laboratory in front of her, containing many computers, documents, testing tools, a person in a tube with green liquid, and strange drawings on the floor...
"Yes, nothing strange here," she said as she examined the place.
"Everything is normal... As if I would say something like that! What the hell is this?! Did I cross into the future or what?!"
After that, she began to examine the place, picked up the documents and to her amazement was able to read them! "Let's see now, bio-modification, consciousness duplication, body swapping",
"umm yes!, I didn't understand anything!" Her lack of understanding showed her place in the world; she was a fighter, not a scientist or inventor. Her usefulness was on the battlefield, not in a laboratory.
So she put the papers in her inventory and all the computers and other things for research purposes *uhm* of course for research.
Finally, she stood in front of the tube that she tried to leave for last. As she approached, her attention was drawn to a writing at the bottom of the tube:
A failed experiment to create an artificial human or homunculus from material #$## using the @#$@ formula.
Success: The sample succeeded in changing the body to create weapons from the same material. It also gained high resistance to magic and physical attacks, It has enough regeneration power to restore severed limbs in an hour.
Failure: The sample has severe cell lethargy. It also failed to generate energy from mana, so it needs nutrients periodically.
Due to the cell failure, it cannot think or move. Due to its uselessness, it was disposed of.
"Oh, now I know how those things were created."She said in disgust as she remembered the creatures she had faced before.
"Hmm?" She noticed a big red button at the end of the tube and pressed it. Why? Because it was a big red button! Well, here's what happened:
«Alert, self-destruct activated. The lab will be destroyed in fifty seconds!!.»
Velzard:"....,me and my damn mouth"
when she heard the alarm, she didn't waste any more time, she removed the wires in the tube so as not to endanger the person inside, then with a quick movement she broke it, which coincided with the emergence of a sticky liquid that covered her.
"Eww, disgusting!" she complained but didn't stop as she carried the fallen figure on the ground. It was all a girl who looked about nine or ten years old with long white hair that reached her knees.
«30 seconds left for self-destruct!»
With self-destruction approaching, Vilsard wasted no time, carrying the girl princess-style and running as fast as she could to get out of that place.
«15 seconds left to self-destruct!»
As she reached the door leading to the stairs, Velzard flew through the air fast enough so as not to hurt the girl with the air pressure.
«10,9,8,7,6,5»
"Ah, I remembered it was locked!" As she approached the exit and saw that it was locked, she formed an ice arrow and threw it at the door. *Boom* The entrance exploded as she was about to reach it.
"3,2..1"
*BOOOMMM!!!* With the final countdown, the whole place exploded in a catastrophic explosion, destroying not only the laboratory but most of the mountain with it.
Debris flew everywhere, causing more damage to other mountains.
"Wow! That was close!" said Velzard, floating high enough to avoid the blast, holding a little girl wrapped in a blanket in her arms.
"Ah, it's a good thing we survived. But…" She looked at the lifeless girl in her arms, "What do I do with you now?"
She thought about it for a bit before giving up, "I'll deal with it later. Let's get rid of her body now." With that, she tried to enter the girl into her inventory only to receive a message.
«Error!, living creatures cannot be entered into inventory.»
"Living creatures? Is this girl alive?!"Velzard was very surprised by this news, she did not think that a person without a heartbeat or breathing could be alive! (Says the person who fits the same condition)
Then, as if to answer her own question, the girl began to tremble. But what was trembling wasn't her body, but her cells that were deteriorating.
"Ahhh, is that what you mean by 'cell malfunction!'?" As she thought in panic , the girl's trembling increased and her body began to wither.
"Damn it! If this continues, she'll really die!" Then, with the girl's imminent death, Velzard finally found the solution.
"That's right, the Instant Healing should do the trick!" With that thought in mind, a golden light emanated from her hands and enveloped the girl's body.
Only a few moments passed before the shaking stopped and she began to return to normal as her heart began to beat and she began to breathe.
"Ah, that's good," Velzard sighed in relief as the girl's condition stabilized.
"But I don't have time to rest. I have to return to the city. With the increased power of my Universal Sense, I was able to find her." Knowing the directions, she quickly set off for E_rantel.
Meanwhile, in an unknown location
??: "Sir, self-destruct has been activated on one of our old bases," said a man in a white coat.
The man he was talking to was covered in darkness so nothing of him could be seen.""
There's nothing supposed to be in that base, even if there was. No one in the Regents' world can stop us. Complete the operation."
??: "Yes, sir!" Then he went back in front of the computer.
At the hotel where Velzard is staying:
Lying on the bed was a white-haired girl who looked to be about nine years old, sleeping peacefully on the bed.
"Ummm." The girl slowly opened her eyes to reveal deep golden ones filled with confusion and bewilderment.
"What? Where am I?" she wondered as she got out of bed to find that she was wearing a simple black dress that covered her from her shoulders to just below her knees.
"Oh, you're awake!, That's good I was worried about you"
The girl noticed the new voice in the room and found a young woman with white hair and golden eyes, quite tall and extremely beautiful.
The girl, although she didn't know that she was created in a lab, knew the basic knowledge as well as her abilities and appearance, so when she saw the woman in front of her, who looked so much like her, she only thought of one thing,
"Um, are you mom?"
The silence that followed was deadly.
Velzard pov
When I saw the strange girl wake up, I went to greet her directly and maybe ask her about that place, but
"Um, are you mom?" Hearing this innocent question, my thoughts froze, so I kept looking at her,
"What the hell did you call me?!" I shouted after a while of silence, I am a man 'at least in spirit', so how can I accept being a mother?!
"No, I'm not..." I was about to continue my words but a gasp interrupted me.
When I looked, I saw that the girl was crying. Honestly, I was terrified! Being the reason for a child like that to cry hurts my conscience, so I quickly went towards her and hugged her.
"Don't cry, don't cry, I'm here with you. Even though as a man I don't accept the title 'Mama', you can call me 'Papa'. What do you think?"
At this she stopped crying and nodded in agreement, so I wiped her tears and patted her head to calm her down more.
"Okay, you're fine now, .....what's your name?" I asked, as I didn't know her name or even if she had one.
"I have no name," she replied. 'As I expected.'
"Then how about I give you a name?" I asked.
She smiled widely and nodded vigorously. I must say it was the cutest thing I've ever seen in my past and present life.
"Okay, then your name will be… Milim! What do you think?" Obviously, I stole the name, but who's to blame?
"Milim… I love it! Thank you, Mama!" she replied with a smile.
Although I was a little bothered by her calling me Mama.
"Didn't we agree that you call me Papa?" I'm a man and I won't allow… "But, Mama, you're a girl,"
she said, pointing to Velzard, or rather her chest, as she wasn't currently wearing armor.
At that moment I felt something inside me breaking but I didn't know what it was.
"Okay, *sniff* let's explain the situation to you," I said while fighting back tears.
So for the next ten minutes I explained to her from my arrival in this city and the trade deal with Nfirea and his grandmother to the mission the guild leader had given me.
I didn't tell her about my reincarnation or what it was, it was still too early for that, then we relaxed for a bit and I told her about the city until we headed to the guild to hand in the mission."
This is what we are advised to do at this moment.
"...It's a long story, to cut it short, when I was returning from the mission, I saved this girl from bandits, but unfortunately her parents died, so I adopted her as my own daughter."
A sad look crossed Albert and Ainzak's faces as they looked at Milim sitting next to me. Of course, this was all made up to avoid suspicion.
"Oh, I see. You're always kind-hearted, Veldora-san," Albert replied, and Ainzak nodded in agreement.
"Let's forget that and talk about your rank, Master Veldora. Since you completed the mission perfectly and even reduced the number of monsters to a quarter, that is an exceptional feat.
So I now present to you the Orihalcom class! You are too strong to waste your talents in the Mithril class," Ainzak replied as he presented me with the necklace that signifies one is in the Orihalcom class.
