Overlord

Momonga is a regular salaryman who leads a guild in an DMMO-RPG known as Yggdrasil. After twelve years of playing the game, the servers are finally shutting down. Momonga logs in for the last time, but finds he cannot log out.

Grateful that they weren't cast aside, the floor guardians experience the rule of their true master for the first time. Momonga quickly assesses the situation and works toward protecting himself.

Momonga continues his efforts to protect Nazarick from the unknown forces he may be up against in this world. As he manipulates the Mirror of Remote Viewing, he notices a village under siege by unknown Knights.

Momonga finds that the attackers of Carne Village were Slane Theocracy soldiers dressed as people from the Baharuth Empire.

Momonga sets out with Narberal disguised as humans under the names of Momon and Nabe for the city of E-Rantel. There they register to become adventurers in order to gain more information.

While Momonga has some doubts, he accepts Nphirea Balear's request under the condition that the members of the Swords of Darkness join them.
