Ainz - Create Greater Item

The moment Momonga attempted to slowly change to a fighting stance, the sound of metal hitting something hard rang throughout the room. The sword that should have been in his hands had fallen to the floor.

The maid standing by immediately picked up the great sword and offered it to him, but he didn’t take it. He just stared at his empty hands.

This.

This was confusing.

The existence of NPCs who behaved as if they were alive made him think this world wasn’t the game, but these odd physical limitations made it feel like it had to be.

In Yggdrasil, since Momonga had never learned a warrior class, it would have been normal for him to not be able to equip a great sword. But if this were a real world, common sense said he should be able to “equip” anything.

Momonga shook his head and gave up thinking about it. He didn’t have enough information, so no answer would come, no matter how hard he racked his brains now.

“Clean this up,” he ordered the maid and then turned to face the large mirror that practically took up a whole wall. In it was a skeleton wearing clothes.

“Create Greater Item.” The moment he cast the spell, full plate armor covered him from head to toe. It was rather expensive looking—the fluted type, gleaming raven black, with purple and gold accents.

He tested some movements. His whole body felt heavy, but it wasn’t so bad that he couldn’t move. He would have thought there would be gaps between his body and the armor, considering he was all bones, but it fit perfectly.

So, just like in Yggdrasil, I can equip an item if I create it using magic? Impressed, he looked through the slit in his close helmet at the mirror and saw a splendid warrior standing there—it was impossible to take him for a caster. He nodded emphatically and swallowed despite the lack of spit. He felt like a child who was about to say something he knew would make his parents mad.
