Series overview
Overlord Manga synopsis
When the online game Yggdrasil shuts down, devoted player Momonga remains logged in until the end—and awakens in its world as his skeletal avatar, Ainz Ooal Gown. Surrounded by loyal NPCs who now think and feel for themselves, Ainz investigates this unfamiliar reality while building the influence of Nazarick. His overwhelming power makes him a feared ruler, even as he searches for answers and former friends.
