The Overlord anime has the following description: The final hour of the popular virtual reality game Yggdrasil has come. However, Momonga, a powerful mage and master of the dark guild Ainz Ooal Gown, decides to spend his last moments in the game as the servers begin to shut down. To his surprise, despite the clock striking midnight, Momonga is still fully conscious as his character and, what’s more, the non-player characters seem to have developed personalities of their own!
Faced with this abnormal situation, Momonga orders his loyal servants to help him investigate and take control of this new world, hoping to find out what has caused this development and whether there may be others in the same situation.
