Guys, thanks for the reviews so far. It's encouraging. Your opinions are really helping. I found many of them interesting. I already said so at the very beginning but I'm writing this for fun while waiting for more Overlord stuff to be released by the author. So far, I had a great time but sadly, I feel like I've reached a point where I can't go on. I had a good view of the outline of the story but now I'm nearing its end. I don't know where to go with it anymore.
I'm not really good at writing sex scenes, romantic or family scenes so a lot of stuff I could have wrote on before I reached this point have been left out. As someone remarked, I could have wrote a chapter or two about Momonga and Albedo's relationship evolution during her pregnancy and after the child's birth. Even the childhood of Ariel could have been accounted way longer than how I summed it up. Sorry about that.
The drive to write seems to have left me. Even writing the Chapter 4 was less fun than writing the others so far. I'm also having trouble with the canon timeline and to avoid messing up with it too much, I'm considering stopping while I'm confident I would like re-reading my own fanfiction. And so far, I'm pretty content with it. It's not a 100% what I had envisioned when I started but to me it's satisfactory.
What I can do now is release a few materials left unused while I wrote this story and wish someone will take up the mantle. Maybe continue it in my stead? Or take inspiration to come up with an interesting story. That's one of the things I love with fanfiction. I myself read a lot of fanfiction and it give me the drive to write one too. Many fanfiction or authors inspires others. I do hope "Overlord of the Beginning" will become one too. It was fun while it lasted.

Race Levels: (Took inspiration from Olasird'Arc Haylilyal, the White Dragonlord's profile. The changes are than being an ancient dragon, from before Yggdrasil corrupted the New World, dragon's race levels were different. Also got inspiration from the Platinum Dragonlord's profile at the end of Volume 14 for Classes in wild magic.)

State of world affairs:
First of all, when are we?
To follow canon timeline, Momonga and Albedo had been transported 600 years before the events from canon. About 12 years later, they had explored the part of the world they were in and settled. Then, their daughter, Ariel was born.
A 100 years after Momonga's arrival, the Six Great Gods that founded the Slane Theocracy arrived in the New World. Ariel was 87 years old by the time of their arrival.
200 years after Momonga's arrival, the Eight Kings of Avarice and their Guild base was transported to the New World. They started conquering it by fighting and killing dragons and other non-humans. Momonga had an encounter with 2 of them some 30 years since they started conquering the New World. Ariel confronted two of the Eight Kings of Avarice that were about to slaughter 3 dragons some time later.
Currently, it's been a little more than 300 years since Momonga came to the New World. The new wave of players that came were quickly found and dealt with by Momonga and Ariel. If they agree to live peacefully in the paradise that is the New World, they are accommodated in Arcadia. If they take negative actions toward the New World or its inhabitants, they are disposed of.
The countries that exists includes:
The Arcadia Empire, ruled by Momonga. A multi-racial nation whose territory includes the canon territory of the Sacred Kingdom Roebel and the Abellion Hills. Its total population is around 7 million now. The first and oldest nation of the continent.
The Slane Theocracy, founded some 100 years after the Arcadia Empire. The country is centered on the cult of the Six Great Gods but they are not that much proselytes about it. As direct neighbors of Arcadia and witnesses of its prosperity and protection by an impressive great wall and undead guards, the Slane Theocracy has adopted a politic of non-aggression with Arcadia. They know for sure that they will be annihilated if they antagonized them. Even the Six dared not cross the wall at the simple sight of the Death Knights patrolling the walls in great numbers.
Arcadia has no diplomatic relationship with the Theocracy. During her travels, outside of Arcadia, Ariel never stopped by the Theocracy, she always flew over it. But the simple sight of her in the sky above inspired faith to the theocracy citizens and statutes of Ariel were erected in some villages and cities but she is not officially worshipped.
The Karnasus City States Alliance exists. They are not yet divided in City-States. They still stands as a unique country but are on the verge of collapse after the members of the Eight Kings of Avarice who ruled over them were killed during one of their conquest venture.
The Baharuth Empire and the Re-Estize likely do not exist as states yet. They are certainly in the process of being created as standing nations.
The Dragon Kingdom exists but maybe not as a formal Kingdom yet. It was founded by the Brightness Dragonlord or his descendants. Their neighbor is still the Beastmen country. It should be around this time that the Minautor Sage came there and changed the way they used captured humans and developed their civilization.
The alliance of Dragonlords against players isn't active really. The Deep Darkness Dragonlord was killed by Ariel and the world item he should have had is within her hands. The Brightness Dragonlord is experiment breeding with other species.
If I had to make Cure Elim, the Elder Coffin Dragonlord appear, it would be around 300 years before canon. Momonga would likely deal with him personally. Given his hatred for players attracted to this world by the Dragon Emperor, he would be a thorn on Momonga's attempt at dealing peacefully with non-hostile players. Or it might be because he used a spell to transform an entire country citizens into undead in preparation for a battle with a player. Maybe the Brightness Dragonlord would be dealt with too but not sure.
Another change in canon would be that the Thirteen heroes from 200 years ago would either not exist or be under Ariel. She and her father are currently dealing with troubles originating from Yggdrasil so if some monsters or players started causing trouble, they'll take care of it themselves.
