Who are you calling a stable boy?!

PK maniac, guild leader, supreme ruler, immortal lich...

These were all identities and positions that Suzuki Satoru once possessed.

Some he could readily accept, others were a destiny he couldn't escape...

Now, he has become Momoga.

A "lower class" person, destined to drown in the bleak reality from birth, toils from dawn till dusk just to survive. Only in the virtual world of games can they find some solace and live like a human being.

The word "false" seemed to be inextricably linked to his fate.

Even after breaking free from the cruel shackles of that bleak reality and arriving in this other world of swords and magic, he still has to face the fact that he is nothing more than a clone, a tool created by an ambitious person to achieve their conspiracy.

His filthy ambition nearly tainted everything his close friends had left behind, which jolted him out of his self-doubt and prevented him from making a grave mistake.

So what if it's a fake?

Now that things have come to this, he refuses to believe in fate. Even if his human emotions gradually disappear, he convinces himself that those memories that belong to him will not disappear, whether he is a fake or not, they are his treasures.

An irreplaceable treasure.

He will no longer hesitate because of the so-called difference between genuine and fake products.

Gods, demons, divine will, destiny, and fate—whatever...

He Momoga would only do what his reason told him was the right thing to do!

If you want him to take charge, he will take charge.

If he is required to lie, he will lie.

If he were to become an immortal and still possess love, he would absolutely love!

Regardless of what others may say, and regardless of whether he can retain his true self in the future, he will do the right thing.

Fight Zheng Jing, fight the right battle!

Fight for Ainz Ooal Gown's honor.

Fight for the sake of my friend's hard work and memories.

He fought for him and Zheng Jing... for what might be the last bit of friendship he could gain with a human heart!

...war, war.

--war!

Gazing at the undead standing tall in the sun, carrying a staff on its shoulder, its body shimmering with emerald light, I took a firm step.

Today, Suzuki Satoru will fight his final battle!

Watching Suzuki Satoru walk towards him wielding Ainz Ooal Gown's staff, Zheng Jing grinned, said nothing, and simply raised his staff to beckon Suzuki Satoru.

Come.

Without hesitation, Suzuki Satoru made the first move!

Let's see how this battle unfolds:

The white bones of the Nine Netherworlds are covered in mysterious frost, and the Ruyi Cudgel rises to unleash true energy.

The incantation of transcendence shrouded heaven and earth in darkness, while the light of support enveloped the nine heavens above.

Golden eyes pierce through illusions and incinerate demonic remains; black robes protect against divine light.

The countless dead spirits press down like clouds, yet none can match the immense strength of six arms.

Its indestructible form manifests its divine light, illuminating and dispelling the evil spirits and miasma of the underworld.

The evil curse was meant to take his life, but alas, his name was not on the register.

The palace treasures are obtained through in-game purchases; the former master is gone, but the divine weapons remain.

With strong armor, heavy fists, and sharp arrows, they wield thunderous blades and broad axes, carrying the sun and moon.

The old friend has returned to heaven, but left behind rare treasures to rival Zheng Jing.

But then Zheng Jing wielded his staff, somersaulting and striking in rapid succession.

The Golden Cudgel's power is profound; even the most exquisite magic techniques cannot match its power.

The Seven Luminaries Scepter shattered the earth, and the Sea-Stabilizing Iron enveloped the heavenly wind.

Regardless of the present moment, let us rely on our own hearts to understand impermanence.

Don't say you have no rivals in a foreign land—

The universe is unpredictable; how laughable are all the heroes!

This battle lasted forty rounds.

At this point, magic power was exhausted, and the artifacts left by the companions had been used to the point that they would be completely destroyed if hit again. Almost all the pay-to-win items that were still usable had also been used.

If I had to say something, it would be that I haven't used the world-class item [Flying Squirrel Jewel] inside me yet.

However, based on the premise that "death is the end of everything," it has been determined that Zheng Jing may possess the ability to instantly revive at full health multiple times, and he has no idea about the limits of this ability...

It seems that even if they used the Flying Squirrel Jade, they probably wouldn't be able to turn the tide.

Ha, I knew it.

Seeing the golden cudgel coming at him, Suzuki Satoru, thinking of this, did not use Ainz Ooal Gown's staff, which had already cracked after being hit once, to defend against it.

He calmly lowered his hands.

I'm sorry, I really tried my best.

At that moment, Zheng Jing's stick slowed down for a second.

"—Bang."

When Momoga awoke, the scene before him was no longer that harsh, yellow sand.

Rather, it was between the thrones of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

"Lord Momogha!"

Seeing Albedo lunging at him and the guardians surrounding him, Momoga realized what was happening.

He lost.

Touching his own skull, Momoga was momentarily dazed.

Zheng Jing's merciless final blow left him with somewhat mixed feelings...

"Awake?"

The sudden sound made Momoga instinctively turn her head to look.

"Huh? Why do you seem like you've been knocked senseless by me? That shouldn't be the case."

As Cocytus and Sebastian stepped aside, Zheng Jing crouched down and carefully examined Momoga.

"...I lost."

Momoga then spoke up: "As agreed, from this day forward, everyone in Ainz Ooal Gown will absolutely abide by the five oaths we made with you."

Zheng Jing nodded: "It's good that he's not stupid."

"By the way, after this match, I should probably head out."

Upon hearing this, Momoga did not respond, but simply nodded silently.

"So I might as well give you this cultivation manual now."

As he spoke, Zheng Jing tossed a book to Momoga.

Completely unprepared for this turn of events, Momoga took the book in a slightly flustered manner and then looked at the cover.

"...The Great Law of Withering and Flourishing?"

Volume 1: The Legend is an Invincible Path!

Chapter 1: Baby, you love me so much

Stretching, Zheng Jing pushed open the door to his room.

"I'm back."

As soon as I came out, Xueqing was already standing at the door with a drink in her hand.

"Love you."

Zheng Jing winked at Xue Qing, took a couple of sips of his drink, then turned to look towards the main hall: "How is it?"

"Very serious."

Xueqing also looked over, a hint of regret on her face: "It's just that his talent might be..."

"He's not outstanding, but he's not bad either. He's perfect for teaching me, a mediocre teacher."

Zheng Jing smiled and walked towards the main hall.

Without making a sound, they entered the hall and saw Deng Ai sitting cross-legged on a futon with her back to the door. With her powerful breathing, faint golden lightning occasionally danced on her body.

Without disturbing Deng Ai, who was in deep meditation, he first added two sticks of incense to his master's incense burner. Only then did Zheng Jing sit cross-legged on the futon placed in the center and open the panel.

He gained a lot from this holy war.

Leaving aside the experience points and courtyard coins, the rewards given to him by the two goddesses, Aomeide and Desna, at the end were extraordinary.

"?"

Looking at the pendant and the book that he had just taken out of his backpack, especially the book, Zheng Jing couldn't help but tilt his head.

What is the eye of love?

Is your book serious?

The ability to check affection levels is here; are you the Book of Dreams or the Book of Visual Novel?

Desna, don't let me ruin the good impression I just got of you, I'm telling you.

After discarding the polished emblem and putting back the reward—which was clearly given to him by the dignified goddess Aomeide—into his backpack, Zheng Jing frowned slightly as he held the Book of Dreams in his hand.

This book of dreams is unsigned, meaning it will only belong to him once he signs his name on it.
