Ensouled Overlord v3

by Fundamental Diogenes

{Version 3 - WiP} A retelling and exploration of Overlord. What if Ainz had the mind suggested by his god-tier stats, packaged with the emotional, human soul of Suzuki Satoru? What if Demiurge, Albedo, and Pandora's Actor were smarter than Maruyama gives them credit for? Enjoy!

1. Preface

PREFACE

Welcome to Ensouled Overlord v3!

This fan-fiction represents the culmination of several years' worth of ideas and theories that have bounced around inside my head since I first watched the Overlord anime adaptation. I tried putting pen to paper earlier this year; unfortunately, I was severely de-railed for just about the same reasons as everyone else, these days. Honestly, that first attempt was haphazard at best, and did not deserve to be continued.

This time around, I intend to organize and prepare my writing much more seriously. You are currently reading the publication for Volume 1 of Ensouled Overlord v3, which is divided into three chapters, each with ten parts. I won't reveal any plans for the story aside from what I put in the description, but everything is coming together nicely thus far.

If you think of any pointers or advice, I encourage you to send them my way. As always, I read every review and direct message. I look forward to hearing what you all think!
