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 shut down at midnight. Momonga, a devoted
Yggdrasil player, decides to spend the final hours of the game inside his
guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. Curiously, 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 that of Yggdrasil. Faced with 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.
