Overlord (LN)

Summary of the Overlord (LN)

The moment came: scheduled offline for good. Most players logged out, heading back to their real lives, I guess you'd say. But then... something weird happened. You know, there was this kid who just *kept* being logged in, even after the whole shutdown thing went through? It felt like a glitch, but it was more than that.

Instead of the game world crumbling into code and errors, nah. The programmed characters – the NPCs – started acting differently. Seriously? They weren't just following scripts anymore; they were showing real signs of free will. And you could definitely tell this wasn't just another line in a log file. It felt... weirdly real.

This poor kid from our world ended up reborn as Momonga, didn't he? Trapped inside the avatar of an undead sorcerer. Talk about déjà vu! But it's worse than that – now he *is* that skeletal overlord, the guy who got left behind when everything else shut down. And guess what? He hasn't forgotten his guild... they called themselves something important back then...

So yeah, Momonga is stuck in this messed-up version of Yggdrasil where the game didn't end as planned. He's gotta figure out how it works now – a world that feels like reality but was built on code. And honestly? The thought alone is terrifying.

He starts taking charge again, building his strength and maybe trying to make sense of this new place. But he definitely has bigger plans than just understanding the rules. This isn't going to be some quiet retirement; nope. He's aiming to shake *this* world – a reality-bending adventure now?

Yeah, Overlord (LN) is all about that journey: surviving the unmaking and becoming something powerful in its place...
