NOVEL NEXT Chapter 32: Yggdrasil XXX
In Yggdrasil, various golems existed, encompassing Flesh Golem, Golem Horse, Half-Golem, Iron Golem, Knight Golem, Siege Golem, Stone Golem, and Wood Golem.
These were just the known types; there were many hidden types, like Elemental Golems, Magma Golems, etc.
Every kind of golem had a specialty; Horse Golems were better for transportation, Knight Golems for protecting the bases, etc.
I wanted to make a golem that could fight invaders. So, after careful thinking, I decided to make the Crystal Golem, a hidden type of golem that could only be created by using Prismatic Ores for its body.
They boosted the highest Physical States out of all other Offensive type golems. So, after deciding the type, I began the creation process.
To create a golem, one needed a schematic for the type of the golem. Fortunately, I found an exemplary schematic for the golem while levelling up my Dragon variant.
I was standing in the plains on the 11th Floor. First, I switched to my Golem variant and removed the Prismatic Ores from my inventory.
A big pile of resplendent ores manifested before me. The different ores had varied shapes and sizes. I then took out the schematic for the golem.
[Do you want to use the schematic for the 'Crystal Golem?' [Y] or [N]]
I chose the [Y] option, and the schematic vanished. In tandem, I received a notification.
[You have learned the schematic for 'Crystal Golem.']
Because I had job classes oriented toward golem creation, I was able to learn schematics for different types of golems.
I then opened my console and selected the option to craft a 'Crystal Golem.' An ethereal representation of the body of the golem manifested before me.
[Required materials:
Apoithakarah(0/8,500),
Celestial Uranium(0/10,000),
Crimsonium Crystals(0/8,500),
Eclipsium Sable(0/8,500),
Iridian Prismite(0/10,000),
Nebuline Gold(0/10,000),
Scarletite(0/9,000),
Star Silver(0/8,500)
Total Progress: 0/149,500]
I wasn't phased by the amount of required materials. I had expected such an amount because of the type of the golem.
I brought the Prismatic Ores close to the ethereal manifestation. As they drew nearer, it commenced consuming them.
After a few seconds, the required materials were all consumed.
[Please insert the Core.]
The most important part of a golem is its Core. One can use Data Crystals to add different functionalities in the Core. The material used for the Core dictated how many functionalities could be added to it.
Because I was using Caloric Stones for its Core, I could add 50 functionalities.
The functionalities I added included;
The ability to equip items, armour, and weapons. (3 functionalities slots.)
The ability to store MP. (20 functionalities slots.)
The ability to use magic. (20 functionalities slots.)
Some spells up to the 8th tier. (7 functionalities slots.)
I inserted the Core into its body.
[The creation of the Crystal Golem is finished.]
The previously ethereal golem manifestation transformed into a solid form. Its newly formed body consisted of white stone adorned with sporadic rainbow hues, and its face remained smooth and devoid of distinctive features.
I bought the NPC Creation Kit from the cash shop and started redesigning it. After half an hour, I was done.

Momonga: "She looks grogeous."
She now had golden blonde hair, brown eyes, and a nice physique. I also added the class data in her Core. After levelling her up to 100 with the help of the 'Experience Core,' her status looked like this;
...

She gets along well with other netizens of Nazarick. She loves her siblings and her Master. She doesn't mind working with humans....]
...
With her, another NPC was done. I commanded her to follow me and took her to meet with her siblings. After conversing briefly, I took her back to the 11th Floor.
Momonga: "This is the area that you must protect. Guard."
She started wandering in the mountains.
Momonga: 'I still need to make her house.'
~Scene Change~
I was floating over an icy expanse. Ice spread around for as far as eyes could see.
This was the next section I designed after the Gemstone Heights. It was called the Polar Serenity.
[Image Here]
This section was more ruthless than the 5th Floor of Nazarick. I also added structures, like the Hoarfrost Mausoleum, that would store the corpses of monsters and Players for later use.
Whenever someone dies in this section, their corpse is stored in the Mausoleum, and their spirit would be reawakened as a Winter Soldier.
The Winter Soldier was an original creation of Momonga; they were golems made of ice. They could use the skills of the spirit that created them.
If a level 100 Player dies in this section, their corpse will be stored. Their spirit would create a new Winter Soldier, which would be able to show the same power and skills as the real Player.
This was just one of the functionalities of this section.
The guardian of this section was a Yuki-Onna, a figure from Japanese folklore; Yuki-Onna is a ghostly woman who appears in snowstorms. She is often portrayed as a beautiful woman who can freeze victims with her icy breath.
[Image Here]
Her status looked like this;
...
[Name: Yukina]
[Creator: Momonga]

[Flavor Text: She must protect her area on the 11th Floor. To accomplish this, she is willing to lay down her life. She has a secret no one knows; she wants to sleep with her creator. Because she is a spirit, she can't make physical relations with her creator. She gets along well with all the netizens of Nazarick....]
...
The Leviathan's Domain was followed by the Polar Serenity, a massive ocean; its depth was 2 Km. Watched over by a colossal Leviathan, this watery realm mirrored the guardianship akin to Fafnir the Dragon, much like a summoned creature rather than an NPC created by Momonga.
[Image Here]
This was one of the strongest NPCs on the 11th Floor. Its status looked like this;
...

[Flavor Text: Its only purpose in life is to guard its section of the 11th Floor. It respects and rever Momonga. It would lay down its life for its Master and the ones whom its Master holds dear...]
...
This section separates the two continents of the 11th Floor. The first continent has the previously mentioned sections.
The first section of the second continent was a massive desert.
[Image Here]
I planned to fill this section with monsters of different kinds.
It didn't contain any distinct areas or structures. The only noteworthy structure was a large castle made of sandstone. It looked out of place in the desert.
The mansion had gardens on its front. It was the residence of this section's guardian, a Human.
[Image Here]
I needed a Human as one of my NPCs for my future plans to work. He wasn't the strongest, but he was an excellent leader. His status looked like this;
...

[Name: Ramses]

He gets along well with his siblings and the other netizens of Nazarick. He patiently awaits the moment when he will lead the people of his creator. He doesn't show prejudice against any race. But if someone dares to insult his creator, he will cut them down.]
...
A massive sandy mountain range separated the Scorched Heaven from the Divine Cradle section on the second continent.
[Image Here]
I planned to make low-level angel NPCs for this section. They would be responsible for the potion production.
The guardian of this section was Malenia from Elden Rings.
[Image Here]
She resided in the base of the large tree at the far side of this section. She boosted the highest stats after Aurora. Her status looked like this;
...
~Status~
[Name: Malenia]
[Master: Momonga]

[Flavor Text: She is a Valkyrie saved by Momonga. From birth, she was inflicted with Rot, which deteriorated her body and the bodies of everyone near her. They shunned her to the side, and then she met her Master. Her Rot wasn't able to damage him. He took her in and taught her the way of sword and how to control her Rot. He also helped her take revenge on the people who shunned her. From there, she became the Sworn Blade and the Protector of her Master. She loves the creations of her Master and gets along well with the other netizens of Nazarick. She also secretly loves her Master. The enemy of her Master is also her enemy. She always confronts her enemies with, "I am Malenia. Blade of Momonga. And I have never known defeat."...]
...
I also created some Cleanrot Knights for her. They would fight beside her.
After creating her, I took her outside and killed many Angels and Valkyires. I needed the corpses and also wanted to from bonds with her.
~Time Skip~
And now I was working on the last thing for the 11th Floor. It would be a giant floating island with a massive castle on it.
The castle was the replica of Hogwarts from Harry Potter.
[Image Here]
While designing the Flying Island, I went all out. I spent an absurd amount of Data Crystals to get the known features of the original Hogswar integrated into the replica.
For example, the central hall could manifest food on the tables when the guild leader stood on the podium and uttered;
'Let the feast begin!'
In the original series, the Guild Weapon of Ainz Ooal Gown was stored on the 8th Floor.
But this time, it was stored on the floating island. The island had two guardians: an area guardian and a floor guardian.
The area guardian was Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. The castle's primary purpose was to store the books of class data, monster data, scrolls, recipes, schematics, etc.
And because Hermione was a bookworm in the original Harry Potter, I decided to make her the librarian and the area guardian of the floating island.
I went all out for her, contacting Devs to request custom spells. And, of course, the new spells were based on Harry Potter.
When crafting these fresh spells, I used the 'Five Elemental Overcoming' instead of 'Ouroboros.' Unlike 'Ouroboros,' which permits players to alter or request things from the developers, the 'Five Elemental Overcoming' provides the ability to modify specific aspects of Yggdrasil's Magic System.
Her status looked like this;

[Name: Hermione]

[Flavor Text: A witch created by Momonga. Her task is to keep the library safe from any intruder. She is shy in front of new people. She gets along well with other netizens of Nazarick. She loves her siblings and her master/creator very much. She doesn't mind working with humans....]
...
The Floor Guardian of the 11th Floor was a tree. Not an ordinary tree, a unique tree. The reason why it was the Floor Guardian was because of 3 reasons.
It boosted the highest defence states in all of Nazarick.
It had the best concealing abilities in all of Nazarick. Only a World Item was able to bypass its concealing powers.
It was connected to the Floor itself, meaning it could teleport and conceal anything present on the Floor.
And the guild weapon was concealed inside of it.
Its only purpose was to safeguard the guild weapon and the netizens of Nazarick if they were present on the 11th Floor. Its states looked like this;
...
[HP: 125(Exceed Limits)]
[MP: 100]
[Physical Defense: 150(Exceed Limits)]
[Magic Defense: 150(Exceed Limits)]
[Resist: 100]
[Special: 100]
...
I was confident leaving the guild weapon concealed inside it. I also had plans to equip it with a World Item geared toward concealment.
The only things left to do on the 11th Floor were incorporating mines, creatures, the ability of season change, natural weather, etc. I also wanted to create a few more areas and NPCs.
Momonga: 'Those can be done later. Right now, my focus should be on providing my NPCs with items.'
Most of the NPCs of the Nazarick had already received their items from their creators. The only exception was my NPCs.
Although the guild's craftsmen offered to make the items for my NPCs. But I declined their offers.
I wanted to make items for my NPCs myself. I was standing in the smithy in the castle on the floating island.
The castle didn't just have a library; it was filled with classrooms, bedrooms, professional rooms like a smithy, potion room, etc.
I removed the resources and started working on the items for my NPCs.
To Be Continued...
A/N: NPC creation is not done yet; I will still make a few more NPCs for the 8th Floor. Also, Give me suggestions for the abilities of the Red Orb World Item that the original Ainz had.
