Life in a Different World with the King of Immortals

Life in a Different World with the King of Immortals is a collaboration game event in Mass for the Dead with characters from Overlord and Re:Zero. It was released on January 29, 2020 to February 14, 2020.

Background
A summon experiment using the Rift in the Throne Room and the chaos stones. Before Momonga, four people and one from another world were summoned. One of them, a black-haired boy, was found to have a particular constitution--- Natsuki Subaru's new life in a different world begins.

Incident
Natsuki Subaru along with his comrades, Emilia, Rem, Ram, and Puck after visiting Irlam Village make their way back to Roswaal's Mansion. During their journey through the forest a thick fog envelops the area. Subaru and his friends believe it to be nothing soon are grabbed by a mysterious gust of wind, that spirits them away. Soon after they are gone, the fog vanishes and only silence remains in the forest.

In the ruined Throne Room, Demiurge and Momonga are conducting a summoning experiment, using the Rift. Using a Chaos Stone as a catalyst, the Rift glows eerily and erupted in a brilliant flare of violet light, in which four human bodies are spewed from its mouth. Subaru's group get their bearings together only to see the demon and undead in the chamber. Rem gets into a defensive stance and orders Subaru to get behind her. However Momonga states that they do not wish to harm them. He tells them they are in his domain, the Great Tomb of Nazarick, and wishes if they could peacefully exchange information.

Subaru though terrified at the sight of the skeletons and a Death Knight maintains a courageous face, in the presence of the other women, and introduces himself to the ruler of Nazarick. Momonga explains to the group, that they are no longer in the Lugnica, but were summoned to another world via an experiment. Likewise from Subaru tells him that the world they were pulled from was a fantasy world similar to the new world Nazarick is located in. Bottom line from Momonga's hypothesis they are unable to return back to their world, as they do not quite understand the laws of physics regarding the Rifts. Subaru worries about his [Return by Death] ability, as it make be connected to the world he was originally transported to. He is afraid without it he will definitely die. Subaru heart pounds, and he clenches his chest as he collapses. His friends worry on his sudden fatigue, but Subaru tells them not to worry. Thinking to himself that he felt the penalty of his ability, it confirms that the [Return by Death] was still present as the Witch's hand effect had activated.

Momonga is more concerned about Subaru's health and offers to give the boy a room so he may recuperate. A skeleton and Death Knight present in the room begin to move toward Subaru, despite Momonga never giving them a order to do so, and begin aggressively moaning at the boy. Rem seeing her friend being threatened, immediately puts herself between them and Subaru. She lands a few blows with her chain ball on the Death Knight with negligible effect. The incident is put to an end by Momonga who used [Napalm] on the undead to bring it back under control. The Overlord sincerely apologizes for the unprovoked attacked. Subaru seeing the display of power and Momonga willingness to attack a subordinate finds it concerning, but thanks the undead nonetheless.

After the two undead are confined, Demiurge humbly apologizes for the outburst of the summons under his watch, but Momonga states it was his responsibility. He wonders what caused the undead to be set off in a savage manner, and turns to his guests if they might known. Ram tells them they don't know but perhaps they should asks Natsuki Subaru for answers. Subaru knowing that he cannot reveal his aura attracts demon beasts due to the penalties if he revealed the nature of [Return by Death] to anyone. He lies that it was his scent that attracts magical beasts, which unfortunately was caused by his sick disposition. Momonga admits that the boy's appearance is poor, though the reason is still shaky, he accepts it at face value. Since there are many magical beings within Nazarick, Momonga orders Demiurge to guide the group to a vacant room on the 9th Floor. After the Floor Guardian and Subaru's group leave the Throne Room, Momonga ponders on Subaru's condition that can attract demon beasts.

In a common room, Demiurge allows the members of Emilia's Camp to make themselves comfortable as he departs. Subaru immediately flops to the floor in exhaustion. The girls scold the young man for drawing attention to himself. Turning to the grandeur of the room, they comment on the financial wealth of their host. Rem is more concerned with Momonga's power, comparing his magical ability to equal or exceeding Roswaal L Mathers. Even Puck admits he cannot divine the limits of Momonga's power and recommends not agitating the undead. Subaru is concerned that Momonga planned the attack on the undead to gain their favor. Rem states that the should focus on returning home as Emilia's Royal Election will happen soon. Puck believes though this world is different from their world, it should still be possible to return home using Beatrice's [Door Crossing], given the doors of her library can open to any location unless certain conditions are met. He believes that by studying the Rifts that they may be able to find a clue to return home. Subaru agrees with Puck's assessment just as there is a knock at the door.

Solution Epsilon comes into the room and introduces herself as a member of the Pleiades that has been assigned to protect them while they stay in Nazarick. Subaru is cautious on the "protection", but Solution states its a precautionary measure given the previous incident with the summons and also to prevent someone from his party from being eaten. After the maid leaves, Puck confirms through his empathy, that she is not lying though warns Subaru to never be alone with the woman. For the mean time the group decides to follow the maid.

Under the guidance of Solution the group was taken to the edge of a large forest located near Nazarick. Solution in her adventurer attire brings them to Aura Bella Fiora. Emilia is surprised by the new character and blushes. Aura explains that Momonga wishes to confirm if Subaru's smell truly attracts demon beasts to his location and this arranged for a little experiment. Noticing Emilia muttering to herself while staring at her, Aura asks if everything is alright. Emilia explains that she a half-Elf and is just excited at meeting another elf. Aura is a bit confused, and she explains that she and her brother are dark elves, so the comparison doesn't really matter to them. Seeing Emilia disappointed face in the lack of Aura enthusiasm causes Aura to say that it's okay since they are all elves, cheering her up. Subaru and Puck watching Emilia make a new friend joke on her progress, causing her to be annoyed by their jest.

Returning to the matter at hand, Aura explains she believes Subaru's ability will hinder Nazarick operation, thus Momonga has decided to limit the group's freedom. Some experiments have been planned to confirm some factors, such as range and influence. Subaru queries on the return of his freedom, which Solution replies that Momonga will mercifully free Subaru once they confirm the effect and calculate the research's value. Having no choice to refuse, Subaru decides to proceed. Noticing the maid's change of dress, he inquires about it, only for the maid to tell him its what she wears when outside of Nazarick. To make things clear if any other adventurers come in the area, her name is Soi.

Subaru asks how will the experiment work. Heavy footsteps are heard and a rodent-like creature soon emerges from the forest. Aura introduces the beast as Hamsuke and her pet. Hamsuke attempts to greet the gathered, but suddenly becomes feral. Roaring she singles out Subaru, who then runs for his life with the magical beast on his tail. Aura sees that the scent from Subaru has affected Hamsuke, and appears that the condition affects creatures no matter their level of intelligence. Needing to stop her pet from chasing the latest asset of Nazraick, Emilia offers to take care of it and uses her magic to cast ice on the hamster. The cold temperature causes Hamsuke regains her senses. She sincerely asks for forgiveness to Emilia's camp, especially to Subaru, for her actions. Aura chastises the "Wise King of the Forest" for losing her head. Subaru thinks such a title is unsuitable for Hamsuke, though Puck points out that he is called a Great Spirit, but he doesn't live up to it in appearance. Ram also comments Subaru's titles are underwhelming, causing the young man to be emotionally hurt.

The event is enough to convince the two agents of Nazraick that Subaru's ability to attract monsters is genuine. Aura believes they must test the range of the ability. Just as if on cue, a pack of savage wolves burst from the forest. The dark elf comments that these beasts shouldn't be anywhere near the area, since Hamsuke would have scared them away. This affirms that the range of Subaru's "scent" is wider than expected.
