I became a Hikikomori…
I mean what did you expect? I was starved for entertainment, and now I have a whole universe worth of it.
That is not to say that I stopped working, no, in fact it is during this period of time that I took another major step towards achieving independence.
My ability always allowed me to recreate people I have already scanned, however now that I have access to the real life Yggdrasil systems I can now create loyal NPCs with great power of their own. Even better, I can link them to a guild core of my own creation to make sure that even if they were to die I would still be able to revive them simply by expanding some mana.
But before I could start building my little kingdom I first needed a secure location, one that isn't on earth.
At first I thought of making use of the Dungeon function of Yggdrasil but technically the Dungeons Guilds existed within an expanded space, which means that they still exist within a determined location on earth.
That was when I remembered the existence of free dimensions within the Dimensional Gap.
And so began my quest for an empty dimension I can make my own.
Most of those I could find were either not sooted to support life or too small.
But thanks to my sight I quickly found a large dimension with everything I would need.
Now comes the question, how the fuck do I make it there?
I mean wizarding apparition is a decent method of travel but I very much doubt it could help me reach another dimension.
That was when I remembered the "Gate" spell from Overlord.
The Gate spell works by creating a wormhole, directly connecting two points in space. This means that all I need is the coordinates and no matter where I wish to go all I need to do is open a Gate.
That is exactly what I've done.
Free dimension acquired!
… Don't judge me, I've been playing retro games.
"So this will be my home for hopefully a very long time."
I immediately got started by creating a batch of weak NPCs to build me a home where I can laze in whilst they do all the work. Ultimately two hands can't do the work of a thousand.
Whilst weak I still granted them useful Classes and Abilities, mostly in regards to common and production classes.
Classes such as: Doctor, Maid, Librarian, Merchant, Architect, Artist, Blacksmith, Master Chef, Farmer, Super Cook, Alchemist, Pharmacist and so on. All of those classes will prove useful in building my realm.
However this is where the biggest drawback of DxD accommodating a foreign system of power came into play. Classes in this case are considered something between magical enchantments and emplanted magical knowledge. This reduces the usefulness of classes in general, instead turning them into a way for me to dump knowledge and information for trades I want my NPCs to have without me needing to teach them.
I created NPCs with everything a functional community would need.
As their creator I didn't want my NPCs to be nothing more than copies of one another so instead I used the recorded scans of other living beings as a template. For example I combined the Valyrians' soul, memories, and physical appearance with the Yggdrasil system to create an NPC with all of the above but who have their will rewritten through "Flavor Text" in which I impose loyalty and servitude towards myself.
In this way the NPC are truly alive, in every way that matters.
I occasionally include race changes either to fit their character or their abilities in life.
In the case of the so-called Dragon Lords of Valyria I granted them a race change to Dragonoid.
For those without any obvious traits I turned them into Elves.
Hey! I can feel you judging me.
You got to let me live my fantasy.
Giggle… beautiful Elves…
I also recreated many of the animals and magical creatures from other worlds I have previously analyzed.
I even managed to grant them access to the Yggdrasil power system without turning them into NPCs, although I would need to recreate the ritual otherwise I will have to manually grant access to each non NPC, and that is simply unsustainable.
Back to my kingdom building adventure.
In only a few weeks the population reached a thousand, all with levels ranging from 1 to 15.
As far I could tell Yggdrasil Levels can be translated into the following DxD rankings:
Levels 1 to 15 are the equivalent of Low Class.
Levels 16 to 45 are the equivalent of Middle Class.
Levels 46 to 90 are the equivalent of High Class.
Finally Levels 91 to 100+ are the equivalent of Ultimate Class, if only barely.
The NPC can be stronger or weaker depending upon their race and classes.
I slowly transitioned from creating low class NPCs to mid and high class NPCs, whom I use as security.
But now it's time I create my first Ultimate Class NPC and the template I chose is that of Daenerys Targaryen.
On top of all her natural abilities I gave her a maxed out Dragonoid Race, worth 25 Levels. But that was only the start, I needed someone strong to guard me when I faint after creating Ultimate Class NPCs, for that reason I focussed on a defensive build for her, starting with a combination of Guardian (10), Black Guard (5), and Shield Lord (5). I followed that with sword oriented classes, Sword Saint (10), Weapon Master (10), Holy Knight (5), and Templar (5). Lastly I granted her classes fitting her nature such as Dragon Tamer (5), Saint (5), High Empress (5), Elementalist of Fire (5), and Finally the cherry on top World Champion (5).
The moment she fully materialized I collapsed and knew no more.

I slowly opened my eyes and the emptiness within my core is the first thing that hits me. I have never felt so weak. I doubt I could even perform a Luminous as I am currently.
"How long…" I asked knowing that someone was always in my room.
"It has been a day, your grace." Answered an unfamiliar voice.
Laying with me in the bed was my latest creation, Daenerys Targaryen in the flesh, quite literally.
She truly is a beauty… I can't wait to have her between my legs.
And the way she is looking at me…
I might have gone too far with the flavor text. I mean since she is an improved copy of the real Daenerys I wanted to spice up the flavor text by following in the footsteps of "Daddy All-Bones" and making her adore me like the guardians do the supreme beings, only I went a bit further by making her love and worship me.
That was when I felt something poking my leg…
Yeh, I definitely went too far.
…
Look on the bright side, I now have a partner that better fits my tastes.
I will never regret turning her into a Metamorphmagus.
Actually now that I think about it, adding more abilities on top of what the Yggdrasil system provides is likely what drained me to this extent.
Making her a witch and granting her Metamorphmagus and Parseltongue abilities from HP, fire-aligned life-force from Avatar, and her natural abilities from ASOIAF.
The first two would have been especially taxing, but so very worth it.
I would go as far as to say that Daenerys is now stronger than me.
Whilst still lying defeated on my bed I decided to do something nice for my latest creation.
"Hey Dany, open that trunk over there."
A loud squeal followed her opening of the trunk for within it were the three dragon eggs she hatched in her original life.
She quickly shut the trunk and a second, longer love making cession followed.
'God I am screwed literally.'
***
I was unable to do much of anything for over a month because that's how long Daenerys kept me in bed for exactly what you're thinking of.
The woman is insatiable and good news NPCs can reproduce, bad news I am pregnant, again!
You can say that she quite literally bred me.
But seriously I didn't think this was possible, for I instinctively know that whilst the NPCs are alive they also lack something, something that is for now beyond me.
I have ordered the NPCs to form couples to affirm a theory, and indeed a year later I remain the only example of a successful pregnancy.
I thus theorize that whatever I am missing in the NPC creation is crucial for my faction to naturally expand without my direct input.
Daenerys had all but taken over the governing of my creations, that High Empress class definitely came in handy.
I on the other hand simply created whatever she requested be it resources or NPCs with skill we are in need of.
I dedicated my time to the creation of an elite force that will serve directly under Dany, that being the level 100 Unsullied. At the rate of one Unsullied per week, so a total of 40 Unsullied now serve under my wife? Husband? Partner? Queen?
Well, whatever Daenerys is to me.
Since the human and demi-human species have a defined life span I chose to turn them into Dragonoids, just like their queen now is.
At this time I welcomed a boy into the world and as technically Dany is the father I let her name him.
Aegor, that was the name she chose.
I sometimes miss my other children but I had long decided to let them live and die as humans, although I do keep an eye on them from time to time.
I intend for this realm to be a new start for me and now with the little one in my arms it truly feels like it.
***
With so many Ultimate Class beings in my faction I am now feeling safe enough to start assimilating the many goodies I copied from other universes, and what better to start with than the Metamorphmagus ability.
I can finally be on top!
The time for assimilation, one year.
It annoys me to no end how I can create NPCs with any ability in a snap whilst I need years to acquire a single ability. But as I would come to learn this was all due to my misunderstanding my own power.
By acquiring an ability I need to make changes to myself, changes that my body fights against, however now that I am a Metamorphmagus my body is more easily changed all whilst being more accommodating to new powers.
I deduced as much after trying to assimilate the Dumbledores' affinity with phoenixes. Before my becoming a Metamorphmagus this assimilation would have taken me two weeks, but now it only took me twelve days.
Whilst this is more of a metaphysical power it does affect the body in minute ways, hence the shortened time.
After learning as much I even thought about becoming a Doppelgänger as that would further speed up my future assimilations, however I ended up giving up on that idea. If I decide to change my race then it would have to be for something powerful and above all unique.
After all I could, at this very moment, turn myself into a god or dragon and yet I don't for the simple reason that in this world, and many others for that matter, beings like those have defined weaknesses.
God is right in a way, humans are truly perfect.
***
Time marches on, and I with it.
With Daenerys governing in my stead I decided to mostly focus on growing stronger, whether it be through training or my assimilations I continued on improving myself.
This paid off when I finally managed to feel myself breaking through to the Ultimate class in both magic and life force manipulation, though now that I know that I live in DxD I should call it by its native name, "Touki".
I, on the other hand, started an indepth analysis of this universe. DxD is filled with beings of immense power but at the end of the day those that could possibly feel my sight is limited to the primordials as they are an intrinsic part of existence, hence why I theorized that gazing upon them would be too dangerous.
So as long as I stay away from them I should be free to study from the rest.
And the first thing I see is a bunch of Titenesses bathing.
Yeh… as if I need more confirmation that this is DxD.
But seriously this is a lucky find since this tells me that the Greek gods have yet to take over Olympus and more importantly that I can analyze the Titans before their imprisonment.
However I did not immediately start my analysis, instead I looked for a titan with whom I would have an affinity, as to reduce the time needed to scan them, I also needed them to be close enough to me in terms of power as to shorten my possible assimilation time.
Leto was the answer, my affinity of life translates seamlessly into Leto's domain of motherhood, not to mention my own experiences.
It took me two years to finish my studies of the Titaness Leto and what a boon she was.
The powers I could derive from her divinity and assimilate into myself will aid me greatly as the creator of an independent faction.
Fertility and Birth – the ability to mate, conceive and give life to any and all living creatures.
Creation of Plants and Animals – bringing flora and fauna into existence with but a drop of either blood or milk.
Animal Communication – understanding, speaking with, or influencing animals.
Emotional and Spiritual Protections – empathy and emotional healing.
Ancestral Memory – the ability to access the memories of all living descendants.
Midwifery and Childbirth Aid – easing labor, guarding mothers and children.
Divine Milk – produces milk that grants longevity, guaranties health and improves strength.
And these are only the abilities I managed to assimilate without becoming a god myself.
Furthermore I managed to reaffirm my theory about my body slowing the assimilations by comparing the physical and metaphysical powers and the time for each. The shortest integration was Ancestral Memory with three weeks whilst Fertility and Birth was the longest with one year and two months.
The MVP in all of this is my self created core that serves as a decent alternative to divinity. Truly without it I would have been forced to become a god.
Given how valuable Leto's abilities were to me, I decided to go for her superior version, that being Rhea the queen of the titans, and damn what an upgrade she is.
If I had to guess Leto would be at the upper end of the Ultimate Class but Rhea is on a different level, at a minimum I would put her at the peak of Satan Class, more likely she is beyond even that estimate.
Seven years, that is how long it would take to store her information and this is after I no doubt boosted our commonalities with what I assimilate from Leto.
That was when I decided to try something different, I am not skilled enough to directly aim for the ability I want however I can try to exclude things I do not want such as the Titan anatomy, or their memories, after all I have no need for those unless I intend to turn Rhea into an NPC.
All in all, by excluding many of the things I would get by default I managed to cut down the time needed to five years followed by three years to fully assimilate my gains.
From Rhea I received a massive upgrade to everything Leto gave me, along with more powers unique to Rhea.
Regeneration – healing wounds.
Feline affinity – cats and especially lions will be drawn to me.
Innate understanding of Life – the ability to identify all known life forms and form a basic understanding of them upon sight.
It was the last power that was of greatest help to me, with it I understood that whilst the NPCs are alive and of varied races, they in truth are something between sapient golems and undead.
The best example would be liches inhabiting a golem that also serves as the phylactery. So like for Vampires they cannot reproduce between themselves, instead they require a living partner.
This wasn't ideal but it wasn't hopeless either, all the NPCs need is a partner who is truly alive and for that I have the perfect candidates, my children.
There is a reason why I possess such a high affinity with life, and why I am so compatible with Mother Goddesses.
This is represented in how I instinctively seek to bring forth life into the world.
And let's be honest it sort of became my kink…
In the twenty years since my relocation into this new dimension I bore just as many children, add to that the three from Daenerys and you get a loud and happy home.
It is only a matter of time until the number of my descendants surpass the number of NPCs.
Until then I am sure that Dany will be happy to confine me to my bed, and really better me than her. I possess many advantages that make me the perfect broodmare, not to mention how important Dany is to my faction. I might be the nominal leader but she is the one who rules in truth.
Author's note:
In case you did not notice WebNovel shot down this story thinking it was plagiarized, it wasn't until today that I regained access to it.
Now for the upload rate I simply have none… Yeh, when I am done with a chapter I will upload it, and if I go silent then be sure to annoy me. That's the best way to get me to do anything.
