Overlord: Reaper of Souls

Death and Rebirth

Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Or for short, DMMO-RPG. It's a type of game where you can immerse yourself into an imaginary world as if you were in it. Such as YGGDRASIL. Released in the year 2126, the game sported an expansive world map and an unusually high level of player freedom. These features, among others, made it stand above all other DMMO-RPG's of its time, and it became wildly popular in the country of Japan.

YGGDRASIL

In the world of YGGDRASIL, a dense fog coated the land, and as the virtual moon shone high in the sky, a lone figure was illuminated, walking across a large plain of grass. Each shoot of grass being coated in frost from its passing.

Its shadow stretched long and far, as did its name, and the phantom-like wings that emerged from its back.

Eventually, the Winged Figure walked over a hill and silently observed the building before it. It was a Guild Hall, Japanese in design, and was currently bustling with a multitude of creatures, some humanoid, some not. But all were players.

As the Winged Figure approached, one of the player's noticed it, a tall Ogre species, and even in the virtual world, fear and draining blood were shown on the Ogre's face.

Opening his mouth, the Ogre shouted, and pointed at the Winged Figure, catching the attention of all other players.

Bells were rung, and the Players drew weapons, chanted spells, and summoned beasts. Then with a brutal roar, the players charged at the figure, who drew a pair of Sickles in response.

Later, when the sun rose, its beams were cast down upon the lifeless and empty plain that once held a proud Guild. Across its surroundings, the items of dead players shone in its light. And as a light breeze blew and the grass danced, the Winged Figure emerged from the burning Guild Hall, a glowing crown in its hand. The Guild Item of the destroyed Guild.

Then spreading its wings, and with a single mighty flap, the Figure vanished into the morning light.

Now after 12 years of operation, the world of YGGDRASIL is about to see its end.

YGGDRASIL

???

A tall cloaked figure, the same as the one who destroyed the Guild, enters a large twisted chamber. Below and around, pathways and bridges twist and turn without purpose or reason. The footsteps of the figure echo rhythmically through its lifeless halls. Until finally, they stop.

The Figure was around 7'0 tall, and definitely male in his appearance. Completely adorned in a black robe that covered his body. He wore armour around his shoulders, chest and neck. With separate gauntlets, and a pair of armoured boots, allowing for free movement but powerful protection. His head and face were covered by a large pointed hood, the front of which split into two large ribbons of cloth that stretched down to his feet. Even in the light, his face could not be seen, only a darkness within was visible. Stretching from his shoulder plates were a pair of phantom-like wings of a skeletal resemblance, which could be described as 'wispy', each an ominous shade of green that bordered on a ghost white, his wingspan reaching 18'0 at its maximum. Finally, his robes were patterned with silver, and his armour was as well.
