Overlord is a dark fantasy isekai series set in a world where a powerful player, trapped in a DMMO-RPG called Yggdrasil, becomes the undead sorcerer Ainz Ooal Gown — ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. With his loyal NPC guardians now alive and devoted to him, Ainz seeks to understand this strange new reality, expand Nazarick’s influence, and protect his guild’s legacy.
