"Hehehe..."
Elizabeth, who had been engrossed in reading the novel in her hands and grinning foolishly, was now extremely happy. After all, she was holding the latest volume of Overlord, volume 12, which she had bought online.
"In the latest chapter, Ainz Ooal Gown's appearance was incredibly imposing! Using little skeletons as stepping stones and all that, it was truly awesome!" The students next to me were discussing.
Although she was reading her favorite novel, Eliza was also listening intently to her classmates discussing the plot of the recently premiered second season of Overlord, secretly feeling quite pleased with herself.
Hmph! I already knew all about the plot you lowlifes were discussing a year ago!
Hmm? Are we talking about the lizardmen plot again? Do you want me to give you spoilers?
Hahaha! Novel readers can do whatever they want!
Although that's what she thought in her heart, in reality, Elizabeth didn't dare to talk to the classmates next to her who were having a heated discussion. After all, in this class, or rather, in the entire grade, she was quite an oddball.
Strange…reclusive…quiet…and not pretty—these words basically sum up Elizabeth's current situation.
First of all, since she wasn't pretty, she naturally wouldn't be popular with boys, and boys naturally wouldn't pay attention to the gloomy and unattractive Elizabeth.
Elizabeth is quiet and shy, and she doesn't share her interests with other girls, so she doesn't have much to talk about with them.
So the girls basically ignored Elizabeth, and as a result, Elizabeth has had no friends since she enrolled in school and has always been all alone.
However, this did not affect the optimistic Elizabeth. Although she had always been alone, she was still very happy, because of her hobbies.
Although in real life Eliza is a quiet and gloomy person, once she goes online, she transforms into a streamer, often streaming herself playing games, making and uploading her own videos, and interacting and chatting with her fans. She has become quite well-known.
Of course, no one else knew about this, since Elizabeth was wearing a mask during the live stream, because she knew that if her appearance were exposed, all her fans would run away.
I don't really look presentable, but luckily my voice is pretty good, very much like a Japanese voice actor, so I've gained quite a few fans just by my voice.
In short, Elizabeth is a character who is obsessed with anime and manga, and quite the experienced one at that, but she can't be seen in the light of day because her appearance would basically make her look terrible in the light.
"Wow...look what that girl is grinning to herself about again!"
I wonder which clueless classmate noticed me again. Elizabeth's hearing is excellent. Who saw me again? Sorry for bothering your eyes, but I didn't ask you to look! What are you looking at! Haven't you ever seen a girl as gloomy as me?! Elizabeth cursed silently in her heart.
Although that's what I thought, I still had to pretend that I hadn't heard anything at all, since I was used to my classmates' gossip anyway.
"Who knows her! Probably just fantasizing about some random couple again, right? Don't those girls always like to pair people up randomly?"
I don't know who said that.
Hey! Even I wouldn't randomly pair people up! Believe me or not, I could crush your heart with one squeeze!
Insignificant ants!
Elizabeth was a little annoyed, and in her mind, she imitated the scene in the novel Overlord where her favorite character, Lord Anko, used magic to crush the gossiping classmate, although on the surface she still pretended not to have heard anything.
Yes, if we're talking about Elizabeth's favorite work, it's Overlord. She's been following the novel ever since it was first published.
When the first season of the anime came out, Eliza was overjoyed. She bought all the limited editions, DVDs, and theatrical versions and treasured them like precious artifacts.
With the second season now airing and the latest volume twelfth in hand, I couldn't be happier.
After school, Elizabeth was still engrossed in reading the latest volume 12 of Overlord, while the other students were all looking down at their phones or playing mobile games.
Only Elizabeth, engrossed in a novel, stood out among the students, but this did not affect her enjoyment of reading.
Ugh... This Holy Kingdom's Knight Commander is disgusting. I guess I should just let her die. That would be too good for her.
"Ugh, I've almost finished reading volume twelve! But I have to wait almost half a year for volume thirteen!" Looking at the few pages left of the novel, Elizabeth was filled with frustration.
However… waiting is also a kind of fun, right? Hmm~ That's the topic of today's live stream. I'll have a good chat with the fans about the content of volume twelve, and then predict the direction of volume thirteen. That's what Eliza thought, but here…
Eliza looked around. It was still a bit far from her home, so she decided to take another careful look.
To see if she had missed any details, Elizabeth started reading Overlord Volume 12 from the beginning again.
The princess of the Holy Kingdom was directly used as a weapon by Xiao Di's demon general... According to this description, she probably wouldn't have survived, which is a bit of a pity.
I feel like the princess's storyline could be developed further, like throwing her into Xiao Di's Happy Human Ranch to be a sex slave or something?
Uh... no, no, that would be R18. Let's leave this kind of plot to fanfiction writers!
"Hey girl over there!! Watch out!!"
An uncle in the crowd shouted this in a very anxious manner.
What's there to be careful about? Which girl?
But basically no one would call her, so she thought to herself, "Whatever..." and continued to bury herself in her book, completely ignoring her surroundings.
And so… Elizabeth ended up having a close encounter with a runaway interdimensional travel truck (ticket)…
Huh? Why is the whole world spinning? Oh, I guess I've taken flight!
Hmm? As for how I managed to fly?
Seeing the truck (ticket) next to her, Elizabeth basically knew what was going on.
It turns out that the voice warning me to be careful was referring to me. It's a pity that the uncle meant well; it seems I can't repay this kindness!
After all, he had just seen a revolving lantern of his entire life, and he had been frozen in the air for so long, as if time had stood still, giving him time to think about so many things. Judging by this "character," he was definitely going to die.
Sigh... Elizabeth, who could have been the protagonist of this book, is about to kick the bucket in less than a chapter.
This world is really unfair. I can never repay my parents for raising me. Fortunately, I still have a younger brother. My parents can rest easy now. I guess they would be more relaxed without me.
I'm sorry, Mom and Dad.
Huh? How come he's still not dead?
Elizabeth was a little puzzled, because she had been frozen in mid-air for a very long time, and had seen the slideshow. It was time to let time continue.
Eliza looked at her body, which was twisted at an angle that the human body could not possibly bend naturally, with her limbs and head all bent out of place.
Could it be that the heavens are planning to give her a chance to travel to another world? After all, she was hit by a special interdimensional travel vehicle (ticket), so it's only natural that she could travel to another world, Elizabeth thought optimistically.
Hmm… if I could travel through time… Elizabeth's gaze shifted to the newly bought twelfth volume of the Overlord novel that was flying in mid-air alongside her tattered body.
"I hope I can be transported to the world of Overlord and meet Lord Anko!" Eliza prayed.
Time began to turn once again...
Elizabeth was thrown into the air and crashed heavily to the ground. She couldn't hear the screams of pedestrians or any other strange noises.
