Endless Path : Infinite Cosmos

Following Seraphina's exclamation, a pink pulse rippled out from her body, instantaneously passing through the bodies of Vahn and several other Prinnies. Immediately thereafter, glowing pink hearts appeared in the eyes of every Prinny present. A few of the closer ones even began to sweat, a light blush coloring their cheeks as they eagerly exclaimed, "Alright, dood! Let's kick some butt for Lady Seraphina...!"In response to the initial Prinny's shout, several others released a loud war cry as they pulled out large swords from inside the pouched strapped around her bellies. Then, with a fervor that could only be matched by Berserkers, they leaped into the overwhelming enemy forces without any signs of fear or hesitation. Several even allowed themselves to be picked up and thrown by their fellow Prinnies, their bodies exploding the moment they impacted the enemy forces.Seeing this scene play out, Seraphina placed one hand on her hips while bringing the other to her mouth and laughing in a haughty manner before happily chiming, "No man can resist the power of my Balor Gaze! Now, what to do with you? Perhaps I'll turn you in to my personal carrier? I've never seen a Prinny that could actually fly. I wonder how squishy your head is~?"As if it was the most natural thing in the world to do, Seraphina shamelessly attempted to sit atop Vahn's head. This provided him with quite the view, but, before she could use his face as a cushion, he adopted the closest thing to a deadpan expression he could manage in his current form, asking, "What do you think you're doing...?"Without missing a beat, Seraphina replied, "What does it look like? I'm sitting on my newly acquired Prinny?" before startling in response to the unexpected inquiry. Unfortunately, her realization came a little too late as Vahn had already casually side-stepped her attempt to take a seat. As a result, she ended up falling on her butt a second time, tears appearing in the corners of her amethyst eyes as she exclaimed, "Why did you evade!? You're a terrible Prinny...!"Since he didn't have brows to raise, Vahn tilted his head and body slightly to the side as he asked, "What makes you think I would just let you sit on my face? Actually, let's shelve that till later. Why are you being surrounded by this horde of monsters...?"Realizing he was gradually being pulled into the woman's pace due to the influence of the Law of Gags, Vahn cleared his thoughts and decided to focus on the matter at hand. The enemy was being surprisingly courteous, almost as if they were waiting until the impromptu comedy routine to come to an end. Unfortunately, this didn't change the fact that Seraphina and her hundred or so Prinnies were currently surrounded by more than a thousand enemies of various shapes and sizes, several of which, predominately humanoid in appearance, gave off fairly powerful auras.In response to Vahn's question, Seraphina crossed her arms in a defiant manner, head turned to the side as she harumphed in a haughty tone. She was apparently ignoring him now, and, perhaps as a result of his refusal to follow the 'script', the enemy began a full-frontal assault that resulted in the night-instantaneous collapse of the Prinny's frontline.With the majority of its kin obliterated, one of the few surviving Prinnies hobbled back as fast as its peg-legs could carry it, exclaiming, "Lady Seraphina! At this rate, they're gonna annihilate us, dood!"Reacting to the Prinny's words, the feather-like mantle surrounding Seraphina's arms and shoulders began to rustle like an angry raven as she bounced to her feet and shouted, "Wh-What did you just say!? I will not abide being annihilated...!"Without waiting for the Prinny's response, Seraphina stepped on its head, forcing it to the ground rather mercilessly before adding, "One sardine for 20 hours of labor! That was our agreement! Now, put your soft and squishy backs into it...!"Despite having its head squished by Seraphina's heel, the Prinny underfoot had what could best be described as a fervent expression on its face as it looked up her skirt with beady, bloodshot eyes. If you looked closely, it was even possible to make out blush marks beneath its eyes as its breathing became noticeably ragged.Satisfied by the Prinny's response, Seraphina began grinding her heel as she looked over at Vahn and said, "See? This is how a Prinny is supposed to react. Haven't you read your handbook? You'll never find employment if you don't behave like the useless pig your meaningless little life forced you to become."Just as Vahn was about to ask what the woman was talking about, a large explosion occurred near the center of the battlefield, stopping the advancing army in its tracks. When the smoke began to clear, an inordinately thin man with sharp features, spiky black hair, and long pointed ears could be seen sitting on the ground with a large bowl of ramen in his lap. His outfit consisted of form-fitting black trousers, a long-sleeved jacket that that seemed to be fused with his body, complete with a spiky fur collar, and an attachment that resembled demonic wings with a black exterior and blood-red interior.Though the man's stripper-like appearance made him stand out quite a bit, it was the massive bowl of ramen in his lap that garnered the attention of everyone present. Not only was it large enough to serve as a washbasin, but, the moment the smoke cleared away, a remarkably aromatic and mouth-watering fragrance spread through the entire battlefield. This caused a number of awkward rumbles to echo through the area, their origin being the numerous drooling monsters eyeing the glistening bowl of ramen with voracious intent.Noticing the thin yet heroic-looking demon, a not-so-subtle blush appeared on Seraphina's cheeks before she quickly regained her senses and shouted, "You there! What do you think you're doing!?"As if he had only just noticed there were other people in his surroundings, the inordinately thin man looked over at Seraphina with a blank expression on his face before answering, "Eating, obviously..."Ignoring the visible tick mark that had appeared on Seraphina's head, the man quickly returned his attention to the massive bowl of ramen, a faint smile appearing on his face as he explained, "It's a Fluffy Rising Dragon Bowl with all-white breast meat from a thousand-year-old Dragon Lord and a century-old egg. It's delicious."Following the impromptu explanation, the man's chopsticks created visible afterimages as he began to scarf down his meal with remarkable fervor. This left Seraphina with a wry smile on her face, eyes half-lidded as she flatly remarked, "There's no way you gathered those kinds of ingredients to make ramen..."By the time she had finished her utterance, the man had already emptied the entire bowl, including several gallons of broth. Then, after wiping his mouth with the back of his sleeve, he jumped up to his feet and adopted a martial art's stance, wind manifesting out of nowhere to make his wing-like mantle flap heroically as he stated, "Alright, then. Now that I've finished refueling, lemme get rid of these guys..."Without waiting for Seraphina's response, the man surprised the gawking members of the monster horde by vanishing into thin air. Immediately thereafter, an explosion rippled at the location he had been standing, the result of a shockwave generated by the man's instantaneous movement.Though there were several orc-like creatures closer, the man ended up reappearing near a stunned dragon, his gauntleted fist glistening with demonic energy as he punched the befuddled creature in the gut. This created a gaping hole in the creature's abdomen, the letters *OHKO* briefly appearing atop its head before its body dissipated into motes of bluish-white light.Seeing the inordinately thin man's horrifying display of speed and power, the presumed leader of the group, a shirtless man who resembled a martial artist with spiky brown hair, gauntlets, hakama-like trousers, and a red bandana shouted, "W-What are you idiots standing around for! Let's teach this jerk how foolish he is to attack the Lost Army! Nobody opposes Lord Void Dark and gets away with it...!"As if responding to the man's words, the inordinately thin demon appeared right in front of him, fist impacting the Commander's gut before proceeding to chain together a series of punches and kicks until the latter's body burst into light. After that, he thumbed his nose with his gauntleted left hand, a look of disdain on his face as he muttered, "Don't you dare mention that man in front of me..."......Seeing the heroic-looking demon make short work of enemies several times his size, visible hearts appeared in Seraphina's eyes as she clasped her hands together and exclaimed, "My, how heroic! It seems my Prince has finally come to rescue me from this plight. Oh, Seraphina, you wicked woman! Is there anything your beauty and wits can't tame~?"Though she had been quite immersed in her musings up until that point, Seraphina blinked a few times in response to her own words. Then, with slightly furrowed brows, she looked back to find a seemingly normal Prinny staring back at her with an ostensibly 'stoic' expression on his face.Noticing the pink-haired demoness' gaze, Vahn casually raised his right flipper, saying, "Yo." before following it up with, "Don't mind me. Feel free to keep gawking at your Prince. He really is quite the heroic-looking individual, isn't he?""You're weird."Having said that, Seraphina made her way over to Vahn's side before scrutinizing him her hands on her hips and body bent forward in a manner that overtly emphasized her breasts. Despite this, Vahn continued to stare directly in her eyes, as, even without gawking, he could grasp the entirety of her body thanks to his spatial awareness and remarkable perception."Yeah, you're super weird. What kind of Prinny doesn't behave like an irredeemable pervert when they're around a beautiful demoness such as myself? Don't tell me you skipped out on orientation when you were first sent to Hell? You'll never be able to redeem yourself if you don't perform your duties properly. Prinnies are supposed to be subservient to Overlords like me, even if it costs them their lives. Now, hold still so I can sit on your head. For a Prinny, the most coveted position they can attain is becoming the personal transport of a beautiful Overlord such as myself."As if she expected him to suddenly obey, Seraphina attempted to press down on Vahn's head so she could make herself comfortable. This time, however, she didn't turn her back on him since her butt was still sore from colliding with the ground, not once, but twice.With the closest thing to a deadpan he could manage, Vahn swat away Seraphina's hand with the back of his flipper. This caused the busty demoness' brows to furrow into a slight pout, but, rather than give up, her amethyst eyes glistened as she crossed her arms beneath her breasts and said, "I get it. You want to negotiate your pay, right? You're surprisingly intelligent for a Prinny. Let's see...I give my other Prinnies one sardine for every twenty hours of work. I normally wouldn't pay the ones who carry me around, but you're clearly something special. How's about this. Two sardines for every thirty-nine hours of work, and, if you perform well, I'll give you a kiss on top of your head every ten years. I guarantee you won't find a better contract in all the Netherworlds."Without so much as a single change in his expression, Vahn continued staring at Seraphina until she had concluded her haughty laughter. When she was done, a victorious expression appeared on her face as she attempted to, once again, take a seat on his head. This time, however, Vahn didn't try to dodge. Instead, he took advantage of the fact she was presenting her cheeks right in front of him to give him a sudden and surprisingly loud smack that echoed throughout the entire battlefield.........(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Seraphina's butt is going to be sore after this...','The appearance of a knight in scantily clad armor...!?','Vahn ten years later, "And that, children, is how I met your mother...')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

With a triangular flipper print on her right buttock, Seraphina had one of the most indignant looks Vahn had ever seen as she shouted, "How dare you! Even my Father has never dared to spank me!"Nodding his head, Vahn immediately rebutted, "That much is clear." before evading a point-blank shot from the teary-eyed demoness and asking, "Do you want another one...?"Hearing Vahn's question, Seraphina's fingers froze on their triggers. She really didn't want to receive another spanking, yet, at the same time, she couldn't just forgive him for striking her, not once, but twice. It might not have mattered if they were in private, but, if the other Prinny got wind of this, the entire Netherworld might come to think she was some kind of masochistic pervert.As that thought crossed her mind, Seraphina shifted her attention to a nearby Prinny, specifically the one tasked with holding her tea. It immediately noticed her gaze, its beady black eyes staring back at her blankly for several seconds before its entire expression spontaneously morphed into a lewd sneer.Reacting faster than even her brain could, Seraphina shot the Prinny in the face before proceeding to massacre every Prinny in the vicinity. She also popped off a few sneaky shots towards Vahn, but, much to her chagrin, he managed to evade them without discernible difficulty.Since her bullets consumed her SP, a few beads of sweat had appeared on Seraphina's forehead by the time she finished massacring the remainder of her own army. Her throat was also parched, but, the moment she looked over to demand her Prinny pass her a drink, the only thing waiting for her was a cracked teapot, its contents absorbed by the barren earth dominating her surroundings.As if he was the person responsible for the massacre, Seraphina looked towards Vahn with an angry glower on her face. Before she could say anything, however, a relatively deep voice asked her, "Why did you...kill your...companions? People who kill their allies...are worse than trash."Turning around, Seraphina found the demon who was supposed to be her Prince Charming staring at her with a judgmental expression on his face. Behind him, the corpses of several monsters could be seen littering the ground as far as the eye could see. She also noticed he was more than a little winded, but, considering he had just wiped out an entire Company of Lost Soldiers on his own, that was to be expected.Balling her hands into fists, Seraphina adopted an aggrieved expression, complete with crocodile tears and puffed out cheeks as she pointed towards Vahn and exclaimed, "It's that darned Prinny's fault! H-H-He left me with no choice...!"Shifting his attention towards the Prinny in question, the lean demon's golden eyes sharpened as he noticed the strange aura emanating from Vahn's body. His instincts told him that the relatively plain-looking Prinny wasn't an opponent to be underestimated, so, while he initially believed that Seraphina was just making excuses, he gradually fell into a combat stance, left hand held out as he lowered his body and said, "My name is Killia. Tell me, did Void Dark send you...?"Without any discernible changes in expression, largely because Prinny weren't very emotive, Vahn unhesitantly replied, "Never heard of him."Furrowing his perpetually furrowed brows even further, Killia muttered, "I see..." as blue electricity danced across his arms. In the next moment, his body flickered out of existence before reappearing to Vahn's left, a profound scowl on his face as he added, "Playing dumb..."Punctuating his words, Killia attempted to punch Vahn in the side of his head, but, despite the vast disparity in their speed and strength, his attack barely managed to graze the latter. This caused the pupils of his eyes to shrink, but, before he could retract his hand, Vahn finished spinning along the interior of his arm before delivering a razor-sharp uppercut to his chin.Though the attack only caused a *96* to appear above Killia's head, his HP was already significantly reduced after his battle against the Lost Army. As a result, he quickly lost strength in his knees, and, thanks to the precise strike to his chin, his brain briefly rattled around in his head, instantly sending him into a K.O. status.Smacking his flippers together like someone who had just completed a job well done, Vahn looked towards the statuesque Seraphina and said, "You really should choose your opponents more wisely. If I were an actual enemy, both yours and this young man's lives would have been forfeit."Startling back to awareness the moment Vahn finished speaking, flames appeared in Seraphina's eyes as she excitedly shouted, "Alright! I've made my decision! As the most elegant, intelligent, and glamorous Overlord in all the Netherworlds, it only makes sense that I have the strongest and most capable bodyguards! You're in luck, Prinny! From now on, both you and Sir Killia will be my number one and number two subordinates! Oh-hohohohoho~!"Raising his non-existent brows, Vahn resisted the urge to ask if there was something wrong with the woman's head. Instead, he raised his right flipper. This caused Seraphina to tilt her head adorably to the side, confusion visible in her amethyst eyes until the flipper print on her buttocks spontaneously throbbed.Paling noticeably, a markedly more nervous laugh emanated from Seraphina's throat before she held her hand up towards empty space and said, "A-A-Anyways. You're in luck today, Prinny! For you see, I, Lady Seraphina, most beautiful and intelligent Overlord in the entire Cosmos, nay, all of Creation, happen to be in possession of my own Pocket Netherworld~! Now grab Sir Killia and let us be on our way. You knocked him out so he's your responsibility. Oh-hohohohohoho~!"Before Seraphina had finished her explanation, a swirling blue vortex had manifested out of thin air. Then, without bothering to check if he was following her orders, she swaggered through the portal, a triumphant smile on her face as her laughter continued to echo through the surroundings."..."(*If you're going to play along, I suggest staying as a Prinny. She seems pretty invested in that man over there, but you know better than anyone how quickly a woman's heart can be changed...*)Nodding in response to Sis's words, Vahn extended his flipper towards Killia's body, a notification sounding within his mind as he used Telekinesis to lift the man's surprisingly heavy frame. Then, in response to Seraphina poking her head out and shouting, "What's taking so long!?", he tossed the unconscious man through the portal before passing through himself.Since this was a world where the Law of Gags was working in full effect, Vahn was unsurprised to find that Killia had landed in a lucky pervert position, his face nestled firmly between Seraphina's breasts. As for the demoness in question, she 'instinctually' grabbed his head despite shouting in a girly voice, "Noooooooooooo~!"Ignoring the impromptu comedy routine, Vahn looked around to find that they were standing in what appeared to be a living room of sorts. There was an inordinately large and lavish sofa on one side of the room, a jukebox off to the side, several posters depicting Seraphina in risque poses, a number of unpacked boxes, a circular table filled with snacks, and a massive television with a pillar-like sound system.Shifting his attention to the room's only other occupant, Vahn found a blue-skinned Maid staring at him with blood-red eyes. She had faded blonde hair tied into gravity-defying pigtails, but her most notable features were her sewn-together limbs and the skimpy Maid outfit covering her ostensibly lifeless body."Never thought I'd see a Zombie Maid Demon...I wonder what kind of sins you'd have to commit in your past life to be reincarnated as something like this...?"Seemingly with the intent of responding to his words, the zombie maid unblinkingly tilted her head to the side as before answering, "Grruuah...Auwuuuuugh...?"Though others might not have been able to understand her, The Path gifted Vahn with the ability to interpret all forms of speech. The woman might be a Zombie Maid, but she still possessed an Ego, so, from his perspective, she had answered, "I don't remember. Maybe I can recall something if you let me eat your brains...?"Chuckling in a manner that didn't suit his appearance in the slightest, Vahn levitated his body just enough to pat the petite zombette on the head. This caused a line of drool to flow from the blue-skinned woman's head, but, at the same time, it allowed Vahn to analyze the internal structure of her body."So you're basically a spirit piloting a corpse...hmmm..."Noticing what Vahn was doing, Seraphina pushed Killia's body off of her and asked, "What are you doing? Even if you're powerful for a Prinny, I won't let you bully my subordinates. Only I'm allowed to bully my subordinates...!"Orienting his entire body toward her, largely because he couldn't turn his neck, Vahn remarked, "It's no wonder you couldn't hit me with your bullets...your eyesight must be terrible..."With a ruddy coloration spreading through her cheeks, Seraphina spontaneously manifested one of her pistols. Before she could even pull the trigger, however, Vahn appeared right beside her, saying, "From now on, I will spank your bottom every time you attempt to shoot me. You're clearly in need of some disciplining..."Swallowing in response to Vahn's threat, Seraphina instantaneously reverted her pistol to bluish-white light. At the same time, the ruddy coloration of her cheeks suffused into her pointed ears as she crossed her arms and harumphed haughtily.Raising his nonexistent brows, Vahn resisted the urge to ask if Seraphina was secretly a masochist and instead asked, "So? What's the deal with those people who were attacking you. Also, where is this place located...?"Though he had yet to confirm it with his own eyes, Vahn could sense a number of life forms living within the Pocket Netherworld. The vast majority were relatively weak demons, but, based on what he could tell, their potential was through the roof. It was like the creatures in the Netherworld had no limits whatsoever. Heck, even this Pocket Netherworld was effectively an Artificial Realm not all that dissimilar to the Little Garden...Clicking her tongue, Seraphina began to bite the nail of her thumb as she answered, "Those jerks were members of the Lost Army. They've been going around various Netherworlds with the intent of killing or recruiting everyone who stands in their way. As for why they were after me, well, isn't it obvious? I'm Lady Seraphina, the Princess Overlord of Gorgeous. Not only am I the most beautiful, intelligent, and famous Overlord in all the lands, I am also the wealthiest. Unfortunately, my fool of a father became afraid of Void Dark's growing power so he tried to arrange a marriage between us. I got pissed off and ran away so I'm currently on a mission to kill Void Dark and reclaim my position as the most-"Before Seraphina could continue rambling on about how amazing she was, Vahn interrupted by stroking his non-existent chin and answering, "I see...so, simply put, the Lost Army is attempting to capture you so you can be married off to this man called Void Dark? And I'm guessing Void Dark is the person who ordered the Lost Army to go around conquering worlds, right?"Though she was a little annoyed about being interrupted, Seraphina nodded her head, smiling as she said, 'That's right. That fool ended up gaining a bit of power and now he's using it to conquer other Netherworlds as he pleases. At this rate, it's only a matter of time before every Netherworld in this plane of existence falls under his influence. It's become quite the problem."While continuing to stroke his chin, Vahn checked his Status to see that his level had increased from 1 to 4. This wasn't particularly high, but, considering he had been able to knock around an Overlord like Seraphina, he was far from the lowest rungs of Netherworld society. Rather, if the rather potent flow of fate around her and Killia were any indicator, they were basically the 'main characters' of this particular world. So long as he stuck with them, his level would naturally increase in response to the ever-increasing threats they would face along their journey."The only real question is...should I play along or just go and defeat Void Dark on my own...?"Hearing Vahn's musings, the pupils in Seraphina's eyes shrank as she internally remarked, ("There's no way this guy is just a normal Prinny...I can't wait to show him off to the other female Overlords...! They're going to be so jealous~! Oh-hohohohohoho~!")......(A/N: I might be taking a break today. I've been doing 3-4 chapters a day lately and I think I might have pinched a nerve or something in my left leg. I'll most likely release a chapter of NOICE after a short break, but no promises.)https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh

"I knew there was a possibility I would reincarnate as something inhuman, but what kind of creature has explosives in lieu of normal organs? Loi...?"Though he had resolved himself not to make use of her too much, Vahn habitually called out the pet nickname he had given to the Law of Identity. In response, a cute yet clumsy-looking redhead manifested out of thin air, her frayed ponytail and breasts bouncing despite the fact she wasn't influenced by things like gravity."Hai~! Hai~! Loi-chan reporting~! And might I say, you're looking particularly adorable today, Vahn-sama~."Staring up at her with his dark, seemingly soulless, eyes, Vahn asked, "Can you please tell me where, and what, I am...?"Supplying a quick salute, the Law of Identity's body immediately changed into a complex and ancient-looking grimoire before answering in a voice that sounded as ancient as time itself, "It appears you are located in Netherworld #104,332,492,001,233 on the planet Blood Parch. As for your race, you appear to be something called a Larval Prinny God with the appearance of a Private Prinny, one of the weakest demonic creatures in the entire Netherworld."Nodding his head, Vahn was about to ask for more information when a blindingly bright light illuminated the horizon with such intensity that the rest of the world appeared to darken for a brief moment. Immediately thereafter, a mushroom cloud shaped like the face of a cartoonish demon, complete with bat-like wings, bloomed into existence less than a hundred kilometers from his positions."Well now...that's unexpected. Does this world function with Gag Laws? That would explain why my body's proportions are so strange. I sincerely never expected to encounter the Law of Normalcy outside one of my Actualized Worlds..."Shaking his head, or, more accurately, his entire body, Vahn allowed the Law of Identity to disappear back into non-existence as he opened his Status. Even if this world functioned on Gag Laws, something typically only found in worlds with heavy comedic overtones, his status should still reflect his power in relation to the beings that occupied the Three Realms...----------------------------------------------------[Status]Name: Vahn Aldrnari MasonAge: 0Race: Prinny, (*sealed*)Class: Larval Prinny GodParameters: [Transcendental Path to Heaven 1-6]Level: 1HP: 3000(150%)SP: 5000(300%)ATK: 290(120%)DEF: 230(90%)INT: 400(135%)RES: 710(150%)HIT: 190(115%)SPD: 290(120%)SOUL: 5KARMA: 100OP: 913,556,210HL: 0Innates: [Will of the Emperor: SSS], [Rakshasa Body: SS], [Keeper of the Akashic Tome: B], [Eyes of Truth: A], [Universal Mind: B], [Actualization: (-)]Weapon Mastery: [Sword: SSS(300%)], [Spear: SS(150%)], [Axe: S(120%)], [Fist: S(120%], [Staff: SS(150%)], [Gun: S(120%)], [Bow: SS(150%)], [MonAttack: S(120%)], [MonMagic: S(120%], [Armor: S(120%)]Resistances: [Fire: -25%], [Ice: 25%], [Wind: 0%], [Star: 0%]Weapon Resistances: [Sword: 15%], [Spear: 15%], [Axe: 15%], [Fist: -20%], [Staff: -20%], [Gun: 15%], [Bow: 15%], [Monster: 50%]Reincarnation Costs: [Good-for-Nothing: 1000], [Incompetent: 10,000], [Average: 100,000], [Skilled: 500,000], [Distinguished: 10,000,000], [Genius: 100,000,000,000]Evilities: [Explosive Body], [Focused Bomb], [Nine Lives], [Immune]----------------------------------------------------[Explosive Body]Effect: Explodes when thrown or impacted with sufficient force.[Focused Bomb]Effect: Deals 100% of HP as damage when exploding.[Nine Lives]Effects: Can be exploded nine times without sustaining damage.[Immunity]Effects: You are immune to negative status and debuffs.----------------------------------------------------Skills: [Anomaly: ???], [Never Say Die: S], [Say it, Dood!], [Hands of Nirvana: SSS], [Godsmith: A], [Godly Chef: E], [Divine Swordsman: S], [God of Magic: B]----------------------------------------------------[Anomaly]Rank: ???Effect: You are an abstract existence that should not exist yet is somehow able to.

He wasn't really complaining but it was a little strange to see he had something like an HP(Health Points) value. That implied everything else would have health, and, unless he could deal an adequate amount of damage, people and monsters would be able to shrug off his attacks without flinching."Well...at least it makes things interesting..."As that thought crossed his mind, Vahn attempted to take flight using his bat-like wings only to discover that they didn't actually do anything. They were purely ornamental, but, by using a bit of his SP(Special Points), he could achieve a form of flight similar to a Dragon.*Unique Skill: Dragon's Flight Unlocked*"Oho..."......After quickly familiarizing himself with his Status, Vahn took off with hypersonic speed towards the explosion that had occurred several minutes prior. Along the way, he noticed the charred remains of countless animals, monsters corpses, and, of course, Prinnies."I understand this is supposed to be a world where people repent for their sins but isn't this a little excessive? It reminds me a little too much of Azathoth's Realm..."Shaking that thought from his mind, an action that caused him to perform a barrel roll due to his distinct lack of a neck, Vahn decided not to feel too guilty about the lives of people living in the Netherworld. He would help those he felt like helping, but, as could be expected, most of the creatures living here were sinners in their previous lives. There would be exceptions, of course, but, more often than not, the more monstrous a creature appeared, the more terrible they had been in their previous life."Hmm...? Is that an army of Prinnies...?"Seeing a number of blue-skinned Prinnies gathered up and huddled behind objects such as crates and barrels, Vahn increased his elevation in order to get a better look. They seemed to be squaring off against a horde of goblin-like orcs, demons, and a few dragon-like creatures, most of which had the exactly same skin color and appearance. This was how the Netherworld stripped away a person's identity, and, unless they managed to Reincarnate or grow beyond a certain threshold of power, most entities within the Netherworld were indistinguishable from other members of their race and class...As Vahn was looking down at them, a considerable number of beasts, monsters, demons, and even people took notice of him. This included a woman with a paradoxically thin yet shapely figure which included large breasts and pert buttocks. She also had bright pink hair tied up in a complex ponytail, amethyst eyes, and, most notably, pointed ears. These complimented her fairly skimpy yet stylish attire quite a bit, so much so that, even though he was largely immune to the Law of Normalcy, Vahn felt she was a beautiful and charming woman.Almost as soon as that thought crossed his mind, Vahn's figure produced an afterimage as he sidestepped a heart-shaped energy projectile fired from the woman's dual pistols. If he had a brow to raise, he would have done so, as, immediately after missing her shot, the pink-haired woman shouted, "You, Prinny! How dare you look down upon this Lady Seraphina! Stay still so I can hit you properly...!"Punctuating her words, the woman, ostensibly called Seraphina, fired a barrage of bright pink projectiles that whizzed past him at hypersonic speeds. They were actually a fair bit faster than him, but, thanks to his considerable experience, the distance between them, and the woman's remarkably terrible aim, dodging them was fairly easy. The only thing he found strange about the situation was that the word *miss* would invariably appear above his head every time he evaded one of her attacks."You...you...you...! I told you to stay put! What kind of Prinny dares to defy the most beautiful, courageous, and intelligent demoness in all the Netherworlds!?"Surprised by the woman's shameless self-promotion, Vahn momentarily ceased dodging, but, even then, none of her attacks managed to hit. This caused the pink-haired woman to glower with tears in her eyes before reaching into her cleavage as if it was some kind of dimensional storage. What came out was a spherical bomb larger than both of her breasts, and, based on the demonic-faced pattern painted on the side, it was fairly obvious this was the source of the previous explosion."Eat this, you jerk...!"Despite her rather thin and dainty appearance, Seraphina managed to throw the explosive with the force of a canon. Far more surprising, and somewhat ironic, was the fact that she was somehow more accurate with the bomb than she was at firing her pistols. As a result, it ended up landing in between Vahn's flippers as if his actions were guided by some unseen force."What the-"Before he could finish his exclamation, a massive explosion enveloped Vahn, Seraphina, and the entire battlefield. This was quite the sight to behold from a distance, but, once the bright pink light had faded away, Vahn had what could best be described as a deadpan expression on his face as a measly *290* appeared above his head. Even stranger was the fact that none of the other people enveloped by the explosion had taken any damage, Seraphina included."How did you survive my Ultra Secret Love Bomb of Death!? Don't tell me...are you some kind of Prinny Overlord!?"Rubbing the back of his head with his flipper, Vahn didn't really know what to say. All he knew for certain was that Seraphina must be someone important to this world as there was a vague aura of fate flowing around her. The forces in charge of his reincarnation had clearly sent him here for a reason. The only question was, did he feel like putting up with an ostensibly spoiled heroine with a princess mentality and an aura reminiscent of a Succubus?"Well...at least she can help me to get my bearings..."As that thought crossed his mind, Vahn's figure vanished from where he had been hovering in mid-air. In the very next instant, he appeared behind Seraphine, his relatively short height and her remarkably short skirt combining to provide quite the view as he looked up and said, "You should control your temper, or, at the very least, choose your opponents wisely. Had I been an enemy, your careless action would have placed you in quite the predicament..."Spinning around with surprising speed and grace, Seraphina pointed the heart-shaped barrel of her gun towards Vahn's head, a victorious smile on her face as she exclaimed, "Ha! Got you now, you perverted little freak...!"Without any discernible hesitation, Seraphina punctuated her words by pulling the trigger. At the exact same moment, however, Vahn's figure left behind an afterimage as he, once again, appeared behind her.Before the befuddled beauty could so much as bat an eye, Vahn chopped the top of her head with the intent to knock a bit of sense into her. Instead, a *371* appeared above her head as a golden *Critical!* rippled across his vision. This caused Seraphina to collapse heavily against the ground ground, her butt leaving a visible imprint in the stone terrain as a bump the size of a grapefruit, complete with cross-shaped bandages, appeared atop her head..."You...you...you stupid jerk...! How dare you strike the most beautiful Overlord in the entire Universe!? Didn't anyone ever tell you that you're not supposed to hit beautiful women...!?"Tearing his eyes was from the comically oversized bump, Vahn met Seraphina's gaze with the intent to gently chide her. Instead, visible hearts appeared within the center of her amethyst pupils as she shouted, "Fine! You asked for it! Taste my Overload Ability! Balor Gaze...!"......(A/N: Alternate Titles: 'Vahn, the Anomalous Prinny God','Well, that escalated quickly...','That's a lot of damage...!')https://bit.ly/2XBzAYu &lt;-(p.atreon link)paypal.me/EinlionDiscord Invite: https://discord.gg/Jwa8PKh
