Overlord III

Synopsis

Continues the story of Overlord II

In Overlord II, Ainz Ooal Gown, formerly known as Momonga, fully accepts his new reality within a world that closely resembles the virtual game Yggdrasil. Yet, many mysteries still linger, which he plans to solve by exercising his power as the ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. After a calamitous incident involving the psychological manipulation of a subordinate, Ainz becomes increasingly wary of potential dangers, including the Slane Theocracy and other ex-Yggdrasil players. His loyal guardians, such as Albedo and Demiurge, prepare for Nazarick's impending major conflict, marking its first war. This sequel to the original Overlord continues the story of Ainz Ooal Gown and his unique cadre of human-hating guardians, alongside the innumerable humans affected by the Overlord's rise to power.

In this installment

In the wake of the catastrophic assault on Re-Estize's capital, the Guardians of the Great Tomb of Nazarick reunite with their master, Ainz Ooal Gown. With all extensive preparations finalized, they stand ready to execute their grand design for global domination. While Ainz's dominion continues to spread, daily life carries on across the world. The once-rescued Carne Village flourishes despite the persistent threats surrounding it. Simultaneously, in the northeastern reaches of the Baharuth Empire, the Bloody Emperor confronts the surging influence of Nazarick. As nations ascend and heroes fall, bloodshed becomes a grim routine. Is there truly anyone or anything capable of opposing the unparalleled might of Ainz Ooal Gown?
