Instead of dying in a hit and run, a young man is reincarnated into the video game world of Yggdrasil as the new NPC of the Guild "Ainz Ooal Gown"; a renowned guild of players known for Role Playing as 'Villain's' in the game. The new NPC, however, knows of them from another place, a fictional franchise about an overpowered gamer being transported to a New World with his player character, guild base, and guild NPC's as the servers to Yggdrasil shut down.
Now trapped in the body not of their own making, they must navigate the plot of this formerly fictional world to the best of their abilities. All the while being cautious of the motive and action of the fanatically loyal and mostly evil aligned NPC's of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Will the true cost of survival in this New World, monsters and heroes alike, be the very humanity they wish to preserve?

Cool story! Hope you can keep writing more!

It's a lot of fun, worth reading for an overlord fan. Glad the character has some empathy, too many Overlord stories go really hard on the 'emotional suppressed evil' route. The character is good and I like the way she was worked into the story. The only big question mark for me is the plot, how much is it going to match the themes and tone of the original? I'm hoping that the tension centers more around learning magic and being a force for reform/good in Ainz Ooal Gown than following the original plot. But it's a good start and I'm keen to see where it goes. It's a fun Overlord story with a good set of character

Every time I see a new chapter come out I immediately drop whatever I'm doing, haha.
One of the best Overlord fanfics (or fanfics I've read in general). I love the NPC take for the main character, and I look forward to seeing all the possibilities it creates for the story. I could see this getting more popular with more chapters, but I hope the author continues to take their time without getting burnt out; art needs time after all.

One of the most well written fics on this sub. And you can tell it's written by someone who really gets the novels and their characters.
Now to wait patiently for the next chapter

Very interesting, different from the usual wish-fulfillment fanfictions, this one has a very intriguing, well-written setting that I can't wait to see what happens. Though I wish there were more character interactions instead of different POV's and a little bit more backstory to the main character's previous life, it is very good, keep up the great work and stay in good health author-san!

I really love this story and even if the updates are a bit slow it’s always worthwhile. The fight scenes are absolutely fantastic and most of all the characters. This is by far the best Fanfic story I have ever read.

Wow! An overlord fanfic that's not cringe!

Alright, to start off, this story deserves a 4.5-5/5 rating. I absolutely loved his work here and I was quite impressed by it. Especially since I had a more negative bias over Overlord as a whole. But I was blown out of the water and this is now the second series Midas has produced that I'm absolutely in love with.
The story starts off with an interesting spin. Instead of being a character already existing in the world, or a Supreme one; he instead started his character off as an NPC and is treated as a Royal Vending Machine. I felt that was unique and quite original. But tbf, this is the only Overlord fanfic I've read.
I personally love the interactions between the characters in this series, and how Shalltear is done here too. I Ultimately hope Shalltear and MC are shipped together.
I came into this fanfic with low expectations, but an expectation of quality from the Author, and I was thoroughly satisfied. I recommend giving his Imperial princess a read too. That's another high quality production. Also, my only "criticism" of the author is his update ratio, but that's just me as a selfish reader. I understand this is a hobby on the side 😅 (although you should definitely open up something for donations and subscriptions)
