Overlord light novel series#

One might be forgiven for being skeptical of Overlord as another typical “trapped in the game” series akin to Log Horizon or Sword Art Online, but this would be a drastic simplification of the merits of this series. With his astounding powers intact and an army of powerful and loyal demons at his command, Momonga sets out to explore this new world which just might be his for the taking. However, as the game comes to a close Momonga finds that fantasy has become reality, and that the game he devoted so much of his life is now his home. Momonga logs in one last time to revel in the splendor of Ainz Ooal Gown’s fortress, the Great Tomb of Nazarick, as the servers go dark, and longs nostalgically for a time since departed. But those glory days have long past, and many of the guild-members have quit, leaving skeletal overlord Momonga as the last remaining member on the last day of the game.

The Lowdownįor twelve years, the 41 members of the guild Ainz Ooal Gown reigned as legends of the MMO Yggdrasil.

The glory days of the legendary guild Ainz Ooal Gown in the MMO Yggdrasil might have passed, but a new world is left ready to conquer as the game becomes a reality for its last remaining player in the hit novel series which inspired an anime adaption.
