Chapter 1: Ch.1: my new life starts out awesome!
'It's been a long time since I watched Fate i guess i could watch episode 16 of S3. That wouldn't hurt at all.' As the boy took out his phone Truck-kun landed directly ontop of him falling from the sky at high speeds which of course kills the boy instantly sending him to a very old office that looked like it was pulled from Harry Potter. Seeing a waiting chair causes the boy still dazed ot simply shrug.
Not sitting in said chair the boy begins looking around the room before the door opens revealing a mature woman who had long silver hair, and mischievous turquoise eyes. "Oh well aren't you just adorable! I'll be your reincarnation advisor my name is Nyarlathotep the Crawling Chaos! Now before you ask any questions I'll explain the rules here.
I pick one thing of your reincarnation you may pick any two things for it. Why only two? It's a new policy to ensure creative wishes! Do you know how many wanna be Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen in some world that isn't JJK? Alot... so I'll choose what you look like based off the last thing you would have or did watch."
Nyarlathotep then opens a laptop, and types in some things before getting stars in her eyes. "OMG SHE IS SO CUTEEEEEEEEEE! I have decided your going to become Medusa(lancer) from Fate/GO clothes she wears are included also her abilities, and gear will be included to. Now then let's hear what uncreative answers you can give me." Coughing into his spectral hand the boy meekly says.
"Uh can I have one made up power, and an existing character template at the character's peak power? Is that a possibility?" Nyarlathotep looks at the boy like he was crazy which was her style so deciding to humor the boy she smiles. "Alright now YOU are interesting. Say what you want but I have a catch. It can't be anything cliché, and must be truly be unique aswell. If you impress me I'll give you one extra ability of my choice."
Startled the boy stammers out. "Well i want a power that will allow me to create chains from anywhere with any effect i can imagine or like a spear heard or morning star head on the chains. I also wannamake them of any elelment i imagine. Then for the character template i want SCP-682 for the regenerative abilities."
Nyarlathotep looks at the boy for a long time before beaming a joyous smile. "Alright I'll allow it on the condition i can send you anywhere but Tensura. Deal?" The boy nods then Nyarlathotep speaks up once more.
"Oh yeah for the ability i promised you is decided on Sung Jin-Woo meaning your the Shadow Monarch! Yippee for you also your scythe Harpe will behave like a device from Chivalry of a Failed Knight. That's all not then I just need to do so,e paper work so give me a second alright?" Nyarlathotep then runs to her desk. After reaching it Nyarlathotep began to type away furiously before looking up.
"Alright kid I just submitted your application to the higher ups, and then we shall get you on your way OK? Oh yeah! They may have you sign a divine contract to not go killing a God's true self with such a powerful ability. Oh also i put yourname as Ana Foster/Medusa so you have a viable cover instead of announcing to the world that your the legendary Gorgon."
Nyarlathotep then spins in her chair before getting a new notice on her laptop. "oh!? I already got an email back from the higher ups... That was way quicker than i thought it'd be so let's see here... oh. It seems you weren't supposed to die yet so beyond a verbal agreement to not kill true gods your good. You get everything you asked for as compensation plus the ability to hop dimensions though it randomly selects worlds you know besides Fate in your case.
Anyway kid do you hereby agree to not willingly or knowingly kill a true god?" Ana who now had a physical form smiles softly. "I Ana Foster or Medusa hereby agree to not willingly or knowingly kill a true god." Nyarlathotep then claps her hands together in a rather exaggerated joyous motion.
"Perfect also if you were to kill a true god or the original version of a god like Tsukuyomi for example then you could plead you had no idea he was the original. But enough of the divine politics I need to send you off as your body has finished metrializing. I think I'll send you to hmm let's see here... oh! I'll ship you off to Overlord as there is a very low risk of killing a god in that world."
Nyarlathotep then gets up, and stands directly in front of Ana who is now nervous as Nyarlathotep cocks her fist back. "Abra cadabra alakazam off you go with a wham!" After getting decked in the face knocking Ketsuyuki to the floor as she turns into light particles that dissolve into thin air. Nyarlathotep then wipes the sweat off her forehead before going to sit back down at her computer to play Skyrim. "Shoot I forgot to tell her she's Medusa(lancer)'s third ascension."
(Ana's POV)
After getting the punch of a lifetime Ana opens her eyes to see a beautiful night sky. "Ughh I belive the word was... actually not yet." Getting to her feet before looking around seeing nothing but forest on all sides. "It's going to take a long time to leave this forest it seems i need smaller scouts. Oh well when in doubt use Kaisel."
The darkness began to stir as a massive wyvern made of shadow emerged crawling out of Ana's shdaow directly. Ana then pets Kaisel who leans into the pets. "Thanks for answering me Kaisel. Do you care to take me for a ride?" The wyvern then lifts Ana up onto his back before taking off into the skies.
Once above the clouds Ana couldn't help but take in the serene beauty of the night sky. "Woah it's breathtaking! I can see why Ainz in the original likes this view so much. An anime could never visualize such a beautiful sky correctly. Seeing is believing afterall. On a different note it seems I'm Medusa(lancer)'s third ascension. Sweet that means i have a dope wrist blade kinda like assassin's creed!"
As the mini monarch was enjoying her flight across the moonlit sky a carriage on a road surrounded by a small legion of bandits. "Huh that's so cliché but... Kaisel head towards that carriage we could finally find a town with the help of whatever noble is in trouble. I know for a fact"
After a low growl of acknowledgement the black wyvern made of shadow course corrects, and dives down before landing like a Skyrim dragon slightly down the road just enough to where Ana could have Kaisel hide in her shadow. As she walked out of the smoke, and debris caused by the landing made the bandits begin to laugh.
"Ha why so wary of a little girl Hebrai? Oh don't tell me she caught your fancy! Hahaha! Here that boys Hebrai likes her so no touching we still have Queen Rela Vander Ignalis Ryle Vaiself, and her daughter Renner. Actually you know what Hebrai for being so loyal ill let you have both the young ones."
While calm, and gutsy on the outside Hebrai is internally screaming. 'I really hope I'm right as these "bandits" are a fraction of "my" subordinates who are all technically loyal to Hebrai a master swordsman from a defunct country, and brought his entire legion with him, amd due to them only serving me because I saved Hebrai I may be screwed if this little girl is worthy of him, and his unit.'
Unfortunately that bandit was correct as Hebrai looked a bit longer at the smaller girl before nodding. "I deem you worthy. As the supreme general Hebrai of Ketsuyuki's army. My men, and I are under your command your majesty." Hebrai followed by every single "bandit" except the only one who was a bandit.
"Please allow us to serve you, and restore our honor! We beg of you!" It began to become a cacophony of these ex-soldiers all begging the same thing worded differently. Tired of their pleading Ana simply sighs. "Alright first let me ask a few questions to you Hebrai. First is why become a bandit? Secondly did you or your men rape any women or children? Third is how many of you are there in total? Most important of all is number four. Can you, and your men keep a secret?"
Hebrai looking at Ana with a devotion so fierce it bordered fanatical. "Simply put we owed our "leader" a debt for saving my life is have done enough atrocities though, and wish to atone. Your second question is happily no we instead trained them in the art of Ketsuyuki's assassination corps giving them purpose.
Not including the assassins, and the elves slaves we recruited our numbers range from 40 thousand at the low end to as much as 60 thousand but if we include the assassins, and former elven slaves i reckon it's closer to 150 to 200 thousand spread across different bases, and finally yes my lady we will keep any secret you demand of us." Ana looked at the horse which had been drawing the carriage, and a idea popped up in her head. "Alright then allow me to test that."
Ana walks directly up to the singular bandit locking eyes with him directly before speaking. "Just in case look away or you may become stone." Immediately they did as told, and after a brief flash of purple light Ana speaks. "Alright you may look now at my first truth." What they saw was their old leader turned to stone.
"Allow me to share my story but first i need to show my second truth." Walking over to the dead horse of one of the dead knights a look of pity washes over Ana's face. "You didn't deserve this fate so allow me to rectify your death... [Arise]!"
To everyone's shock the shadow of the horse came to life, and Ana originally calm now looks like a kid in a candy store staring at the skeletal horse with pitch black bones made of shadow, and purple flames coming off as the mane. "Your name is Arvak you literally look like him but way cooler honestly..."
The shadow horse Arvak seems to huff in pride at the "way cooler" part of the compliment. Remembering she had an audience shook her head. "Alright sorry about that. Though will you still serve me knowing what you know now?" All of them in sync not out of fear but loyalty proudly yell out. "No! You our the one we have been waiting for we hereby pledge our undying loyalty to you Lady Ana!"
"So did they pass Igris?" The soldiers watch in awe as a knight just like them rises from their lady's shadow before it does a knight's bow. "Yes my liege is do believe they passed your tests." Nodding she then looks at the soldiers before her. "Alright then we need a central base where all of you will meet with me, and by all i mean everyone supreme general Hebrai. Do you have a spot in mind?"
"Unfortunately not my lady forgive me." Ana waves her hand. "It's quite alright Hebrai but may I ask you one other thing. Did the elven slaves follow you to free their homeland at all?" Hebrai immediately catches on to what Ana is saying. "Yes, and No my lady. I do believe it would ensure their loyalty though."
"Are one of these elves here? No worries am I kidding come out of hiding i can sense you." Appearing like her shadow soldiers from thin air an elf that looks oddly like Alpha from The Eminence in Shadow kneels before her. "Are you planning to actually go through with liberating the elven people my lady?"
"I need the backing of a country no? What better way to get backing then to create it unfortunately i will be relying on my troops like Igris for this excursion so forgive me in that regard I need you guys to mobilize everyone as once I'm done we'll need order to be restored immediately. How long will it take for that Hebrai?"
"A full mobilization? Not to long my lady but may I ask why we cannot lay our life down for you aswell?" Ana hums in acknowledgement at is question. "Honestly it's because I'll be doing something, and I need it done as quick as possible. Plus I want all those who bow to me to hear my backstory like I promised i can't if you're dead now can I? Is that answer satisfactory to you Hebrai?"
"Yes it is my lady I shall send word to meet at the border of the elf kingdom but may I ask something my lady what about these royals from Re-Estize?" Ana looking at Renner who is genuinely afraid along with her mother. "You two saw everything didn't you no lying either."
The queen in a desperate attempt to save her daughter dose a dogeza pose on the ground. "Please I'll do anything just don't kill my daughter!" A small smile spreads on Ana's face as she kneels down touching the older woman on the shoulder.
"Alright then since I initially came here to save you i won't ask for much, and I'll let you both go home ok? I simply want you to keep my special powers a secret, and the whole invasion i just planned ok? Seem fair? All you gotta do is say Ana Foster saved you, and brought you home."
The queen now looking up with hopeful eyes to see the gentle smile on the girl who saved her finally reassured her everything would be ok. "Alright to ensure you get home safely I'll come with since all your gaurds are dead. How far is the capital from here, and in which direction?"
After the queen shrugs Ana looks at Hebrai who points down the road. "That way will lead to the capital my lady please be careful also how will you pull the carriage?" Ana points directly to Arvak who proudly huffed once more. "Arvak will he is effectively the best horse in this world now. He won't tire or need to stop!"
Ana then looks at Rela, and Renner with a smile beckoning them into the carriage before getting Arvak all ready to go well it was more like Igris did but after that they set off to the capital of the Re-Estize kingdom to take a queen, and not yet psychopath princess Renner.

A/N:
Is this a good way for an author's note? I wouldn't know personally as i kinda made this on a whim, but what do you think?
Also quick question should Ana be able to switch between lancer, and rider or should she simply just age into rider's physical age then stop aging. lmk your thoughts on this as I'm stumped. This is my first book/fanfiction I'm posting after all.(Update: I decided on shifting between the two)
Two more things. First is I'm writing this for fun so don't expect regular updates instead expect regularish updates as i want time to flesh things out, and a set schedule makes me feel rushed.
Lastly I'll only be uploading chapters in bulk after this one meaning it will be longer between updates as I get into the swing of things.
