The Overlord light novel series by Kugane Maruyama is a dark fantasy set in a virtual MMORPG called Yggdrasil, where the game’s servers are about to shut down. The story follows Momonga, a powerful player who remains logged in when the game ceases, only to find himself trapped as his in-game character, the undead sorcerer Ainz Ooal Gown. With no way to log out, he explores the world, conquering territories and unraveling mysteries. The series explores themes of power, morality, and identity in a richly detailed, ever-expanding world.
More volumes are expected of this series.
