A/N: I have been a fan of the Overlord Lightnovel for a while and decided to write my first fanfiction set in that world. This involves an OC who utilizes one of my own favorite builds in games that allow it which is that of a player who can wield magic and melee similar to the system used in Elder Scrolls. This also takes place shortly after the Splat fest.

Chapter 1: A New Start

Russ held the man in the air, his clawed hands wrapped around his neck. He watched as the pitiful human struggled before finally passing out. Russ just laughed at how this so-called general supposedly a great holy warrior fell utterly short as he threw the body to the ground. Looking around he could see that the battle had gone entirely in his favor. The Theocracy soldiers had been scattered, even the elite members of the reformed Sunlight Scripture lay dead or dying at the feet of his army. He knew though that this was only the beginning and that more of the Theocracy would come to destroy him and those he protected.

As his forces rounded up the survivors he could see his re-claimers already stripping the dead Theocracy soldiers of weapons, armor and any magic items. As he walked through the field he saw his adviser Edric supervising the collection of bodies, in time they would be delivered to The Sorcerer Kingdom much to the delight of Demiurge. Still, as he walked he was disappointed, he thought that destroying this army of fanatics that were sent to exterminate him and his followers would bring him some joy but it didn't. He just thought of the many more that would have to die before the Theocracy would leave him alone.

Back on Earth he never held much sway in any religious practice believing it only lead to a narrow viewpoint. Still, he appreciated the comfort it gave to those and many religious denominations did charitable work. However, there where the darker aspects and religious and ethnic genocide were one of the worst aspects of blind faith. He often wondered what the previous players were thinking especially those that ended up being the six great gods. Why would they allow the worst aspects of Earths history to dominate a country in this New World?

Russ's attention was snapped back to reality by the vision that walked his way. Though she had reverted to her more human form he still could not take his eyes off her. He mused at how he had fallen into one of the stigmas associated with gamers, that of falling love with an NPC, but this was not a game anymore as far as he knew and he had no idea if he would ever get back to his previous life so he would make the most of this new one. "Beta my love you seem to be in high spirits today," he said as Lupusregina Beta came up to him skipping.

"Russ my dear I was thinking about all these religious fanatics who must have been praying to their false gods before they died. It fills me with such happy thoughts at their torment of knowing their prays went unanswered" she said smiling.

"I'm glad your happy and that you're still alive if you were hurt I think I may go insane"
Lupusregina Beta just gave out a laugh "My love you know full well the inhabitants of this world are weak"

"That may be but you know there are individuals stronger than you at the theocracies command"

"And Lord Ainz will crush them all and burn their false idols to the ground. Speaking of which Russ can I have any theocracy priests that survived?"

"My little sadist what for?" Russ said smirking.

"I just want some new toys to play with, breaking their false faith could be fun," Lupusregina Beta said giggling.

"I can never refuse you, my love"

"Oh, your the best" Lupusregina Beta said hugging, Russ. "I'll be sure to make it up to you tonight when we're alone," she said kissing him before skipping off." Many times Russ wondered if his friends from his world would approve of his actions. He was not a sadist or liked torture even as a role-player but he pushed these aside to keep his wife happy. After all, she is the one thing he could not refuse even if she used to be an NPC. Maybe like Momonga believed his avatar was starting to change his humanity.

A few days after the massacre at the Katze Plains

Russ expected to open his eyes to see his room but that as not to be. What the hell? why am I still logged in?. Russ tried to comprehend what was happening. A few moments ago he had laid down on the banks of a lake in Vanaheimr and now as he got to his feet he saw he was in a clearing of a forest of some kind. As he looked around he could see that he was in his Avatars werewolf form. He tried to access his console to log out but found that it did not activate. What the hell?!

Russ decided to play YGGDRASIL as a mercenary who would hire himself out using is a multipurpose jack of all trades build. In RP terms he wanted to be a raging battle mage able to switch between melee, magic leading him to max out the Spell Warrior job class. Maxing out Spellwarrior gave him access to all melee and magic spells and abilities and the ability to equip any equipment regardless if it is restricted to fighters or mages but at a cost. He was restricted to Tier 8 and could never learn the most powerful abilities of any job class. Souleater is a job class Russ most liked allowing him many death abilities such as stealing a targets HP and Mana and redistributing them to himself or his party.

Maxing out Werewolf and Lycanthrope Alpha allows him to break the limit of Resistance, Agility, Physical Attack and Physical defense. Lycanthrope Stalker allows him access to stealth and invisibility abilities and enhanced abilities at night. Master of beasts is only obtainable after maxing his race level of werewolf giving him the ability to summon and control forest creatures and see through their eyes.
Though he never joined a guild he maintained good relationships with many guilds and their members including Ainz Ooal Gown.
