A/N: You read the title right folks; this is indeed my attempt at a sequel to MadHat886's Overlord Shinji from many years ago. If anyone is wondering, I actually received permission from MadHat himself to do one although I did not consult him for details about where he might have been going with the story. So, if you like what I put out, thank him and if you don't then blame me.
You can also thank vanhellsing9000 for introducing me to this story. I was mostly out of the loop on Eva fanfiction for a while, so I missed this one. That and working on Language of Masoch was a higher priority.
If you are here expecting a story with the same tone as that one, I just want to save you the disappointment right now and tell you that it won't be. If you read Overlord Shinji you'll notice that it at best has minor connection to my debut work. Not to knock on MadHat or anything, just pointing out differences is all.
In addition, this story also assumes that you have already read the predecessor, or I at least recommend rereading it if you haven't in years. That is why I won't be starting the story until Chapter 2. I just want to make sure everyone reading reads at least this much so they know what they are getting into.
I also know that adding chapters without story to them is not looked at favorably by the moderators on here so consider the text that follows as a framing story. Look at it this way, you don't need to even read this chapter and can just skip to Chapter 2. So, with that, enjoy this montage of unfunny and dated memes to serve as padding.
This is the story of xXx_hax420bLaZeiT_qUicKsc0pEr_bitChkiNg38516284779xXx. For the sake of memes, we will call him Zack. A wannabe scrublord who would SMOKE WEED EVERY DAY, eat Doritos and drink Mountain Dew as a diet, and game on his Alienware Aurora R14. His grandma warned him not to break this one down ever since he broke his last one from playing a haunted copy of LEGO Universe.
Speaking of which he heard her from upstairs yell, "ZACK! GET THE MAIL YOUNG MAN! GET READY FOR YOUR NAP AFTER THAT!"
Zack took a break from building his Jay's Thunder Dragon EVO to answer, "Okay Grandma!"
Since this was the future, he knew this meant his grandma wanted him to check his email for recent spam. Much to his approval he found out he received a message from his good friend Jack who had the Steam profile name Pu55yRekter. Wondering what he sent him anything for, Zack opened it and found out he had the best thing he could receive the whole day.
The message read, "Zack! You won't believe this! I was giving my wallet to Lord Gaben today and I found out the best game ever just dropped! Best of all I think you have the minimum specs to play it! If not, you might want to upgrade to an NVIDIA RTX A6000 to make sure it at least boots properly! Whatever you do make sure you buy it ASAP because the sale ends in 2077.13 hours!"
Zack decided to do what his friend told him to do for a change and clicked on the Steam page link to find that indeed the best game ever was available. Overlord Shinji II was fresh out of Steam Greenlight and on sale for $13.37 on a 69% sale. Seeing that game on sale made Zack hear Epic Trap Trapsetp on the background as he prepared to max out another credit card for what he needed.
He stopped as soon as he discovered that indeed his PC did not have the minimum specs necessary to run the game. Sad Violin Air horn played in the background, but Zack knew he could get the graphics card though Amazon. It would require another spending of his monthly allowance, but he at least had a chance to save with free shipping.
In exactly 1,234 nanoseconds he turned around and much to his surprise saw Ugly Sonic standing behind him who said, "Gotta go fast!" Picking up the package to open it and install it into his PC took Zack about 177,013 microseconds but it was worth the effort. He was able to return to Steam and buy the game at last after so much hassle. Unfortunately, it meant he was not going to afford another genuine Mr. Gold figure any time soon.
He was fortunate to have gone through everything because the install took up a whopping 5,318,008 terabytes. It was at this point that Zack was about to do something crazy for the first time ever in his life. Defy his grandmother's order to get ready for a nap by playing through his new video game in one sitting while blaring out Holdin' On by I See Monsta's in the background.
