Chapter 34: Momonga
Deep within the forest, a lone yer suddenly spawned, his form aglow with the telltale sign of recent death and resurrection.
Without hesitation, he dashed into the wilderness, his urgency evident in every stride. It was a desperate flight, as if fleeing from an unseen threat, his heart pounding with fear and adrenaline.
Minutes stretched into an eternity as he raced through the dense foliage, his breath ragged and his senses on high alert. He ran as if his life depended on it, fueled by the primal instinct to survive at any cost.
Then, in an instant...
Shing!
His entire body lit up with a strange radiance, a sudden paralysis seizing his limbs and sending him crashing to the forest floor.
The paralyzation didn''tst that long and immediately wear off its effects, but it already did the job of stopping him from his tracks.
"... Got some points!"
"... Two more and I''ll be able to change ss."
"... Hurry up and finish him."
As hey on the ground, he noticed a bunch of other yers heading his way. Their gear looked way better than his simple robe, making him feel even smaller.
Listening to their snide remarks, he couldn''t shake off the feeling of being judged and looked down upon.
The group of yers is equipped with some good pieces of Equipment while he had nothing but a poor-looking robe.
"... A freaking inhuman."
"... You''re disgusting."
It was clear that the group harbored ill intentions toward him, wasting no time in preparing to strike.
As he gazed back at the group, a glimmer of hope flickered in his heart. Perhaps, if he pleaded with them earnestly enough, they might have a change of heart and spare him. But as he turned towards them, his hopes were dashed in an instant.
One of them, a burly figure d in menacing ck armor, hoisted his two-handed axe menacingly, ready to strike. It was clear that mercy was not on their agenda.
Resigned to his fate, he closed his eyes, bracing for the inevitable. Another death, another respawn... it was all bing too routine.
But just as the axe was about to descend, chaos erupted.
*sh*
The sound of metal cutting through air pierced the tense atmosphere.
*sh*
Another sh, followed by a chorus of gasps and shouts.
*sh*
And another, each strike more precise and deadly than thest.
*sh*
*sh*
*sh*
In the blink of an eye, the group of yers was decimated by an unseen force. The attacks were swift, too fast for anyone toprehend. And with each strike, a yer fell, their bodies crumpling to the forest floor.
"Ah."
The yer in the tattered robe could only watch in awe as his would-be assants were swiftly dispatched, vanishing into thin air in the blink of an eye.
As the dust settled, a figure emerged from the shadows, d in gleaming white armor, shield in one hand and sword in the other. The yer''s heart raced as he took in the sight, his mind reeling with questions.
The yer in the tattered robe could only stammer in awe and confusion. "Wh-why did you save me? You don''t even know me. And what''s with the background music?" he asked, bewildered by the sudden appearance of Wild West music apanying the stranger''s arrival.
"Saving someone in need is always the right thing to do," the armored figure replied, striking a series of heroic poses. As he did, bold text materialized behind him, dering, "JUSTICE HAS ARRIVED."
The yer in the tattered robe was astonished by the sudden appearance of the armored hero. To him, this guy seemed like some kind of superhero straight out of aic book.
But as he was in the midst of his admiration, they suddenly heard apuseing from a nearby tree.
*p*
*p*
*p*
Behind the tree, two other yers were hiding—or at least that''s what it seemed like—as they pped in the direction of the armored yer.
One of them, dressed in shabby blood-red armor and wearing a smiling mask, eximed, "Whoo~ Touch me, that a next level acting."
"... If there weredies here, they''d be throwing themselves at you for being so cringe," remarked the goat-faced demon.
It was clear now that these two were Alexander and Ulbert. And if that was the case, then the armored yer could only be Touch Me.

First person pov
Since the creation of our n, we''ve been on the move, exploring every nook and cranny of all nine worlds over the past week. We''ve lent a hand to fellow heteromorphic yers and taken down PK parties wherever we find them. And that brings us to the current situation.
"Ah, you guys." Touch Me heaved a sigh, clearly ustomed to my antics and Ulbert''s remarks. Ignoring our banter, he turned his attention to the yer in front of us.
"Anyway, are you alright? Were you being spammed with kill requests?"Touch Me focused his attention on the yer in front of him.
"Yeah, I''m okay. Thanks for saving me. Actually, it''s the third time this week, and it would''ve been the fourth if you hadn''t shown up," the yer replied with a sheepish grin.
"Well, it''s a good thing we were nearby when that happened," I chimed in, trying to lighten the mood after the intense encounter.
Afterwards, we had a brief conversation with the yer we rescued. It turned out he was a newbie who had just started ying YGGDRASIL a week ago.
On his very first day, he was constantly attacked by PKers, making his gaming experience anything but enjoyable. He even considered quitting the game altogether. However, our intervention seemed to have changed his mind, at least for the time being.
Touched by his plight, Touch Me immediately extended an invitation for him to join our party and work together. He consulted both Ulbert and me, but we were all in agreement, so there were no objections.
The yer, d in his modest robe, expressed his gratitude towards us. "Thank you so much, Touch Me-san, Alexander-san, and Ulbert-san. I''m really d to meet the three of you here. Even though you didn''t know me, you still decided to help me. Thank you very much," he said with a bow.
"Don''t worry about it, we just did what''s right, and that''s to help all the people in need," Touch Me reassured the yer, his voice carrying a sense of sincerity.
"Yeah~ Let''s just do our best to fight off those mean guys that love to hurt our fellow heteromorphic yers. Right, Hero-san?" Ulbert chimed in, his tone dripping with sarcasm as he addressed Touch Me.
I couldn''t help but chuckle at Ulbert''s yful jab. Despite being a dark lord, he had a knack for teasing Touch Me about his hero-like personality.
"Yeah, like what he said," I added with a cough, trying to stifle myughter. "Anyway, since they''ve already used all the avable cool lines about justice and stuff, and I can''t seem to think of any good new ones on the spot... I''ll just do the weing, I guess."
With that, I approached the yer with a poor-looking robe and stopped in front of him.
"So, I officially wee you to the team, Momonga. Let''s do our best together," I said with a smile, to which the yer named Momonga responded positively.
And with that, we''ve got ourselves another member in the n!
So now, with Momonga on board, a big chunk of my "Do-list" checklist is ticked off. I can practically taste the freedom! No more desperate searches or awkward introductions. It''s like winning the lottery, but with fewer taxes and more virtual battles.
Yep, from now on, it''s smooth sailing in the world of YGGDRASIL. No more stress, just good times and epic adventures.
