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 last hours when its servers shut down at midnight. Momonga, a devoted player from Yggdrasil, decides to spend the last hours of the game within his guild, Ainz Ooal Gown. Interestingly, at the stroke of midnight, the game doesn't switch him off. Instead, Momonga finds himself transported to another world, one that is seemingly identical to Yggdrasil's. Faced with an already abnormal situation, he discovers that the NPCs have gained sensitivity. Trapped in his avatar's skeletal body 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.
