Summary

In the year 2138, virtual reality gaming is at its peak with Yggdrasil, a popular online game, leading the charge. However, when the game is unexpectedly shut down, Momonga, a dedicated player and powerful wizard character, refuses to log out and finds himself transported into the avatar of a formidable skeletal mage. To his astonishment, the game's non-player characters (NPCs) begin exhibiting emotions and autonomy, prompting Momonga to explore the boundaries of his new reality. Struggling to unravel the mysteries of this evolved game, he commands his devoted NPC servants to secure their place in this world, gradually laying the groundwork for conquering it.

As Momonga—now embracing his role as the overlord Ainz Ooal Gown—adapts to his new life, he leverages his immense power and strategic prowess to expand his dominion. The NPCs, fiercely loyal to Momonga, aid in his quest to find other players who might be trapped within Yggdrasil as well. With each challenge he faces, Momonga's influence grows, but so does his isolation as he grapples with what it means to be a leader in a world where he was once just a player. Amidst powerful foes and intricate politics, Momonga's journey transforms from a mere quest for survival to a bid for supremacy in this strange new universe.
