“Overlord” transports us to an epic universe that will immerse you in a fantasy journey like no other. Get ready to enter a virtual role-playing game called Yggdrasil, where the main character, Momonga, becomes the powerful and enigmatic leader of the Ainz Ooal Gown guild. However, what should be a simple game turns into a surprising reality when, after the servers crash, Momonga discovers that his character has come to life and that the world of Yggdrasil is now his true abode.
Join Momonga, who now goes by the name Ainz Ooal Gown, on his extraordinary journey as the self-proclaimed Supreme Lord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. With unimaginable powers and a loyal army of NPCs (non-player characters) under his command, he embarks on a quest to understand the truth behind this new reality and discover if there are other players who share his destiny.
In Overlord, the clash between good and evil takes on new nuances, and the line between heroes and villains blurs. As Ainz explores this vast world full of dangers and mysteries, he encounters diverse races, intriguing characters and challenges that will test his cunning and power.
