then the fight begins

Rimuru Tempest

Hey everyone! I brought some Tempest-brewed ale for our little isekai get-together!

Ainz Ooal Gown

Ah, Rimuru. Always the thoughtful one. Though I must admit, I can't quite enjoy it in this form.

Ainz Ooal Gown

(How does one act casual in a supreme overlord's body? Must. Not. Panic.)

Satou Kazuma

Psh, you guys and your fancy powers. Real protagonists rely on wit and luck!

Satou Kazuma

Besides, I've got the ultimate cheat code: plot armor!

Rudeus Greyrat

Interesting perspective, Kazuma. Though I'd argue that a mix of skill and opportunity is key.

Rudeus Greyrat

After all, I've managed to become quite the magic prodigy in my world.

Natsuki Subaru

Haha, yeah... skills and opportunities. Those are great when you have them.

Natsuki Subaru

(If only they knew how many times I've died just to get this far...)

Kirito

Come on, Subaru, give yourself some credit. We've all faced our share of challenges.

Kirito

It's not about the powers we start with, but how we grow and adapt.

Rimuru Tempest

Well said, Kirito! Now, who's up for a friendly competition? Last one standing buys the next round!

Ainz Ooal Gown

A competition? Very well. Prepare to witness the power of Ainz Ooal Go-

Ainz Ooal Gown

Wait, no! I forgot I can't control my power output!
