A/N: Hello, so first off there is a few things I need to clarify before you read. I happen to be new to this whole thing and haven't written a story in my life, but I have always been intrigued by it, so this will be my first attempt at writing. Another thing is there may be a few spelling errors and I am open to criticism so do not hold back. Lastly, I have only seen up to season 3 of the anime so sorry if I diverge from cannon. Now that I have made that clear, lets get into the story!
Chapter 1: A different story
YGGDRASIL, A virtual-reality game that was widely known throughout not only Japan, but also the world. A game that was infamous for it's sense of exploration and never-ending discovery. Doesn't matter where you went, everywhere you go, adventure would greet you. A wonderland of non-stop fun, action, and immersion. A game in which you could be and do anything. A true masterpiece for it's time.
One of its well known features was guilds. In YGGDRASIL, you could form a guild with other players in the game. Not only that, but once you have beaten a dungeon, you could set it up as your base for the guild to use as a hideout. Once you had established your base, you could use it to store loot and create NPCs. The NPCs you create could be customized all the way to even how it behaves. They could also be used to guard hideouts from enemy players. Truly, the guild system was a corner stone of what made YGGDRASIL great.
Among these guilds, was Ainz Ooal Gown. A guild composed of players only belonging to the monster classes. This infamous guild was feared and respected by all players. A guild that had accomplished many things. A guild that stood at the top...even till YGGDRASIL's end.
Among its players, only one had remained on the server till YGGDRASIL's shutdown, a lich player with the username momonga. As he sat in his seat, awaiting the games cancellation, he had fallen asleep and when he awoke, he was met with a unexpected surprise. The game had ended, but for some reason, he still remained, not only that, but every NPC residing within the Great Tomb of Nazarick had obtained sentient life. After discovering that he was in fact awake and not dreaming, he realized this would be his new life.
So momonga set about searching for anyone else that might have been in the game when it transported them to the new world besides him. Firstly, he began by changing his name from momonga to Ainz Ooal Gown so that any potiental players would recognize him immediately. Secondly he began his mission to conquer to world to spread his name through infamy. Through many trials and tribulations he had accomplished his goals and dominated all who opposed him.
Ainz Ooal Gown obtained world domination and became supreme being of all. In the world he now ruled the weak were used as tools and slaves, and the strong were given pardon as long as they pledged their undying loyalty to him and served under the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Any Rebellion that dared form was put to rest and the meek and frail humans could only watch as all they loved was ripped away from them. Their freedom? Snatched. Rights? smashed. Their hope? Obliterated.
And so his tyrannical rule remained for many a millennia, for humanity could do nothing. Nothing at all but hope for even a slimmer of a chance of change. The days became months, then years, then centuries, and finally a millennia had passed. Still nothing had changed for that poor world and its inhabitants. And that is the story of Ainz Ooal Gown, and how the world came to be within the palm of his hand. The story of Overlord.
But, that isn't the story that will be told, No today I am here to tell a different tale. This is the story of a human boy named Rikert, a human boy who would become humanities hope for a better future. A human who would go on an amazing journey to free humanity from its ball and chain. And while this story has a happy ending, The journey to that end is paved with waves of despair,sorrow, and blood. A Story that became well known throughout the land, a legend that shall be told till the the end of time. This is the story of...OVERHERO!
