Overlord (LN)

The once-popular online game Yggdrasil was scheduled to be shut down for good. Players logged off for the final time—except one. Even after the servers supposedly went offline, one player remained logged in. Something was wrong.

Strangely, the game’s world didn’t dissolve into code. Instead, the once-scripted NPCs began to show signs of free will, and the game’s world felt eerily real. Trapped within the avatar of an undead sorcerer, a young man from the real world found himself reborn as Momonga—a skeletal overlord and the last remaining presence of the elite guild Ainz Ooal Gown.

Now stranded in this bizarre, living version of Yggdrasil, he assumes command and begins a journey not just to understand this new realm, but to conquer it. As the boundaries between game and reality blur, Momonga sets his sights on building a legacy that will shake this world to its core.

A new legend is about to begin—one forged in bone, shadow, and absolute power.
