Overlord Synopsis
Yggdrasil is a virtual reality game known for the freedom it offers its players. After a simple tutorial, players can explore the world and customize anything from their classes to their weapons. However, in the year 2138, the game sees its final hours when its servers go down at midnight. Momonga, a devoted Yggdrasil player, decides to spend the final hours of the game within his guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. Interestingly, at the stroke of midnight, the game does not disconnect it. Instead, Momonga finds himself transported to another world, one that is seemingly identical to Yggdrasil’s. Facing an already abnormal situation, he discovers that the NPCs have gained sentience. Trapped in the skeletal body of his avatar and desperate to discover the cause of his situation and find other players like him, Momonga sets out to take control of the new world with the help of his loyal subjects.
