I was bored, I had nothing to do, I heard a rumor of a skilled sculptor selling cute monster figurines. I was intrigued, I bought each of his statues and I was impressed with the workmanship.
I decided to try my hand at this sculpture skill, I just had to go to the artist guild and pay for the skill.
I brought some plenty of durable wood and brought out an expensive carving nice.
I carved a prinny, I found out that I was talented with my hands and before I knew it I created 99 prinny's in different poses and myself as a final piece leading the prinnies to battle.

It seems my handicrafts skill is a great boon for delicate sculptor projects. I noticed how easily it is to make better sculptures, though quality is key more than quantity.

Skill gained:
The confusion reincarnation glitch?
- Every once in a while is the Red Moon event where prinnies go to be reincarnated. Since you are a prinny Summoner, some of this reincarnation energy will flow unto you.
-For a very very very slight chance, when beings you fought, you accumulate, understanding points, and some one in a million chance that this being will understand you and vice versa. Due to this very very special connection, their attitude, feelings, persona, spirit will converge and flow into you, allowing you to transform into their form perfectly.
-Be warned, while this is a very very powerful skill, there is a chance that you will be stuck in the fusion form permanently. The skill did say it was confusion reincarnation glitch.
- Currently, complete fusion of Laharl the overlord is possible.
- Your levels is still the base of this skill so even if you transform into a supposed level 300 enemy, since your base is level 150, your levels remains 150.
I thought that skill is very very weird, I just hope I won't get to use it.
The npc seems wary of because of my very high infamy, but thanks to my already high familiarity within the city, it was somewhat civil.
I went to the adventures guild for a quest. There was one that caught my eye, bandit extermination in the newly formed Star Village. The rewards were said to be a mystery.
Ding
Star City Bandit extermination
Difficulty: C
Accept quest? Yes/ No.
"Yes " I said as a ding said that it was accepted.
I was guided by a teen and traveled via horse to star city, it took two days worth of travel and we finally arrive at the quaint village.
"Greetings young freedman, I thank you for accepting our small village's request, this location in our city is actually a very good spot mining minerals and the land is fertile, unfortunately, other seems to be on the same idea as our shipments of goods seem to be targeted. Our only hope was to file a request in the adventures guild. Please, we may not offer much, but this village means alot to me, this humble mayor Brock begs for you assistance O great adventurer." Said the kneeling Brock.
"Do not worry mayor, I will do my best to exterminate the bandits." I said as I asked for details and their camps.
I, with my five prinny general slaughtered the one hundred bandits, since they were only level 90, they quickly fell to my powers.
I returned to star city and brought them the news. Apparently my intimacy with the village became very high in this quest.
"Oh thank you Harry, we really can't think of a reward but we hope this one is suitable." Said Brock as a message appeared on my screen.

"All hail lord Harry!." The village shouted and celebrated.
I found out that some village funds were used in my celebration, oh well, live live a little.
In the center of the village, I had my prinnies brought a very very large stone.
I carved it into a a prinny helping each other in buildings and work related stuff.

I summoned 55 prinny workforce in front of my prinny statue and the effect was immediate along with my trusty five general prinny force five.
"Whoa, I feel energized dood!, so master, what can we do for you?." Asked the prinny leader.
"You said that you guys are master laborer, architect, engineering and things you can build a functional city?." I asked them.
"You bet dood, all prinny are master of the art, but we really can't go all out, budget cuts and all, plus our former master treat us like crap." said the prinny honestly.
"Very well, I need your expertise, you five prinny generals, I will assign you to lead 10 prinny each for the expansion of this village, you may bring reinforcements. I want you to make this city a utopia that outshines other overlords city, I want the superior Netherworld charm and make this place the envy of all overlords and make this place, welcoming for humans and adventurers as they will use our grand facility and we can trade and have profits. I will give the five prinny general each with 500000 gold and I want you five to organize together. I will also be putting a one million emergency funds. Oh as a bonus, if you get this city done in one year, I will add a bonus to our contract of 100000 gold, what do you say?." I asked them seriously.
"You got yourself a deal dood!." Said the prinny generals.
I quickly handed them 500000 Gold each and transferred the controls to them.
"Oh, if there are some funds left, buid a mansion, not a castle." I said to them.
"Sure thing dood!." Aswered the prinny.
"I'm going to find work, I'll be back in some months, I trust you guys enough." I said with a smile.
"Wow dood!, we won't let you down, we have never been so trusted before, were touched." Said the prinny as he saluted me.
Time Skip 3 months later
I had obtained another 15 million Gold from my service to the nobles as a master exotic chef in Serabourg.
I decided it was time to return to star city.
I hardly recognize the place, there was a netherworld mall, inn, adventurers hall and the item world.
They even have the Netherworld hospital which was rumoured to bring anyone back yo life at the cost of hell currency.
"Dood!, your back, your just in time for our final preparation for this city to be netherworld worthy." Said the prinny as he led me into a very large machine where all of the prinny were gathered.
"Commencing, portal to the nether world, start dood!." Said the excited prinny as he pressed a giant red button.
The giant machine hummed in energy, a portal begin to form smoothly, untill something went wrong and the machine produced bursts of electrity and the portal began to unstable geatly.
"Dood!, the giant portal machine thingy is malfunctioning, if we don't do something, the whole city will be destroyed." Said the panicked prinny.
"What?, I'm not letting this city which I spent so much, be destroyed, Prinny!, is there a way to stop it?." I shouted at him as everything was going Hay-wire.
"Well, the only thing capable of stabilizing the portal is a powerful demon energy controlling the distorted portal, but only an overlord can do that dood!." The prinny said as he panicked some more.
I racked my brain for clues then I remembered that 'confusion reincarnation glitch'.
I used the skill and I felt my body transformed into that of a small build, my white skily hair turned into a short sky blue hair with a strange two antenna, my ears turned pointy and my eyes turned blood red, thankfully, my clothes transformed along with me to fit my new size.
"RAAAHHHHHH!." I shouted as I poured demonic energy on the unstable portal.
Energy spikes were seen, I battled it for one hour but there was a sudden energy spike which exploded into light and covered the city.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
I opened my eyes, the sky seemed different, there was a very very huge moon and large floating rocks and Islands.
"Prinnies! Report!." I shouted, I then realized my voice changed.
"Lord Laharl?, I thought master Harry defeated you dood?." Said the prinnies that gathered.
"I am Harry, I somehow met the requirements and used an exclusive prinny summoner spell, I transformed into Laharl's form so I can use demonic energy to stabilize the portal, something went wrong in the end though." I said to them.
"Wow, Lord Harry saved our hides dood!, as for where we are, we seem to be in the netherworld." The prinny reported.
"That's not all dood, the humans were unable to come along with us." Said the prinny.
"Yeah, I'll be right back and check on something." I said to the prinny and I checked if I was able to release the transformation.
I did find something strange, my menu looks like my original one and the reincarnation glitch skill is missing.
Then, it then dawned on me, I tried to check for on the log-out button...
there was no log out button.
"I'm screwed, I'm stuck with this body, what a mess, I guess protection against evil doesn't work in a VR world where my sould/consciousness was transported." I said as I double checked everything.
My original skills like my nen and greede island spells were there. All my otherwordly fantasy skill was there including my unleased bankai which became an authority and with my lighthouse supporter added to my prinny summoning skills.
I quickly checked checked my levels,... it was level 10,000? which means my theory was correct, my original God body got transferred and fused with this one, I also found out that I had 999 trillion hell currency, which I believe my funds got exchanged.
"Change of plans prinnies, were no longer in that other world so our contract needs renewed to this netherworld hell currency." I said to them.
The prinnies were impressed, their lord had still have their interest at heart even if he is now in the body of Overlord Laharl, he still has that prinny magnet charm.
The prinnies gathered and discussed for ten minutes, then they came to me with a contract.
"How about 50000 hell for a month dood?." The printing asked nervously.
"Let me be honest with all you prinnies, the world before this one was actually a simulated world, now with that strange portal fiasco, my original body that was supposed to be separated from the simulated world got fused with this one, luckily, my funds got transferred as well, so I'll increase the contract to 100000 hell per month deal." I said to them.
"Dood!, we don't care who you were, you'll always be our lord Harry with his blessed prinny heart." The prinnies cried.
I quickly signed the new contract and handed them the money, the prinnies were happy.
"Oh yeah, I did promise you guys a bonus when you finish the city, so here's 500000 hell." I smiled as I handed them the money which made their eyes turn into hearts.
"All Hail Lord Harry!." The prinnies shouted repeatedly.
I asked the prinny to lead me to my mansion, which turned out to be a very large castle, they probably were trying to impress me.
I smiled as slept in my netherworld themed bed.
I woke up the next day, asked a prinny to take me to the kitchen which I cooked a small meal.
I noticed a prinny panicking and reported to me.
"We got a big problem dood!, last night, we ordered some supply goods and told our prinny clan were here." Said the panicked prinny.
"What's the problem?." I asked curiously.
"There also seems a massive immigration going on, the place where Laharl ruled got usurped and demons started to migrate, news of our city spread and alot of immigrants are heading here dood!." Said the prinny alarmed.
"Oh dear, that is alarming, heres 50 million hell, I want you, and the whole clan of prinnies to expand the city, make more housing and necessary facilities and security, since the whole prinny clan transfered here, I'm sure it will be cramped, just hurry on it, we don't want a riot on our hands from the other clans and species, there will be a seperate bonus 5 million hell for the whole prinny clan when this jobs get done super fast, notify me of the progress" I said to the prinny as I handed him 50 million hell for a very very large project.
"Sure thing dood!." Said The prinny as he went to his whole prinny clan for a super rush from Lord Harry, and it comes with a huge bonus which the prinnies were salivating at the prospect.
Time skip 1 week later.
The prinnies worked super fast, with a large paycheck on the line, they made their work ethic ten times normal, imagine my surprise that they completed it within a week.
I assembled the whole prinny clan at my castle.
"Prinnies, a job well done, as promised, here is 5 million hell as a bonus payment." I said as I handed the representative prinny the money.
"Now now, there's still the talk about who will manage the facilities, I want you to organize and appoint who's good at what job at our facilities, including our government system to appoint about the immigrants and paperwork that comes along with it, I of course will handle the important paperwork so be at ease, oh, I forgot to mention that this is a well paying job, so your concerns about payment is well thought of, report to me and give me a list later at my office, dismissed." I said as I exited the scene.
The prinnies were now excited that their Lord was asking them for a decent work, best work they ever gotten from tyrant overlords they worked before, so after 3 hours of discussing and financial planning, It was done and I received the paperwork and approved it.
I questioned about our defenses, the prinnies said that they resurrected 10 pringer X robots, which should be enough to deal some high monsters and the prinny training program was also held.
Droves upon droves of demons that Harry expected came and he and his prinnies were prepared.
Star City became a bustling city, in just three month's, it be came a prosperous well oiled machine.
Preperations were made for Harry to reveal himself in public on the upcoming month.
Time skip, Day of the Overlord Ceremony.
I wore some high class clothes, but I still kept my very comfortable and badass scarf which I have grown to love.
I summoned Aisha in her cube form to broadcast my video for everyone.
I took a deep breath, and went to the balcony with confidence.
"Greetings, citizens of Star city, I am Overlord Harry, I have been told that I resemble another overlord, I assure you, I am not him." I smiled as a video of a live feed of me was scattered accross the city. My speech wasn't convincing with me having Laharl's looks and I'm wearing his scarf.
"Overlord Laharl?, he's alive?, I knew it, he is still alive." Were the murmurs of the demons who were pro Laharl. He must have been a decent ruler.
"Mwahahahahaha!, I am King Drake the Third, I am the great lion demon overlord, citizens of star city, surrender, or feel the wrath of my 10000 demon soldiers." Said the lion overlord over a large megaphone outside the city walls.
The citizens of star city panicked, but I commanded Asia to broadcast what I'm about to do.
I slowly formed 300 powerful baangs and willed it to collide with the army on the horizons.
A series of high energy blast exploded one after another wiping the intruders forces.
"You will pay for this, I will be back." Said the lion overlord as he retreated.
The scene was shown live to the demons inside my city, I then continued my speech.
"Citizen's of Star City, I offer you protection from every overlord that may wish to harm this city, so live well knowing that you are all under my protection." I said an exited the stage with my cool red cape billowing.
"All Hail Overlord Harry/Laharl." Were the confusing cheers of my demon citizens.
A week later after that incident I was surprised to receive surprising guests.
"Lord Harry, there's a devil named Etna and a blonde fallen angel named Flonne to see you, their quite persistent and won't leave dood." Said my prinny secretary.
"Tell them to meet me at the meeting room in five minutes." I said to my prinny secretary.
I quickly changed into an appropriate attire and greeted my guest.
I entered the room to see two shocked people a red head devil wearing revealing clothes and a fallen blonde angel.
"Laharl, your alive!, oh the heavens must have shined upon your soul." Said the blonde with a prayer pose.
"Is she always like that?." I asked the red haired devil.
"You have no Idea what I had to deal with, wait a minute, Laharl how could you fake your own death and start of a city out of nowhere, that's surprisingly a bold move coming from you, real worthy move of an overlord." Said the red devil who I assumed was Etna.
"What?, how could you Laharl, you don't love us anymore?." Said the blonde fallen angel who I assumed is Flonne when she heard Etna's explanation.
"I'm sorry, I assure you, I am not this Laharl person you are talking about, Although I did managed to defeat him and aquired his super bad-ass scarf and with the help of some super glitchy skill that I acquired that allows me to transform into those I defeated, I used said technique to save this city from certain doom and I'm now stuck in this form." I said with a straight face.
"Your right, our old Laharl, was a cocky overconfident overlord, while you are cunning and observant, still, you have to take responsibility for defeating our overlord and taking his form." Said Etna evilly.
"Oh I'm sure, with that blonde angel, you must have been driven close to insanity, I'll take responsibility only of you let her stay away from me." I said to Etna.
"Oh you have no idea, wait... your agreeing just like that?, on second thought that is a great move worthy of an evil cunning demon." Said Etna impressed.
"So here's the hard part, negotiations." Said Etna with a glint of evil.
"Here are the figures, you get a separate monthly stipend along with Flonne and you both get VIP treatment, just call the prinnies, your only jobs is to keep Flonne away from me, help me deal with this Laharl business and fight some of the occasional enemies." I said as I handed Etna and Flonne the pamphlet for my offer.
"With this figures your offering, I'm in, are you sure you are not an angel?." Asked Etna.
"I was, let's just say a stray God, and the universal rule is 'money talks and bullshit walks'." I said to her.
"Rawr, are you sure your not a demon?, that's the same principle every great demon follows, oh yeah, what we're Laharl's last words?." .
"Yeah, he said not to loose to some cooky prism rangers, now that I defeated him and took his tittle of overlord." I said seriously.
"Oh, that's definitely him, well, see you later Laharl." Said the smiling Etna as she took Flonne away and I instructed my prinnies about our new arrangement.
