Since it'll be at least until 2020 until season 4 of Overlord gets released, I thought I'd write this in the mean time.

Yggdrasil, the most popular DMMORPG, Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. For twelve years, ever since it was first released to the public, it had remained one of the most popular games of its genre.

For some odd reason, Yggdrasil had its servers cease to function after twelve strong years of popularity, despite all the money it made.

Before the servers closed, the guild known as Ainz Ooal Gown, was one of the greatest guilds of the game. The reason it was known as one of the greatest was due to its possession of many powerful artifacts known as World Items.

And the one who ruled over all of Nazarick, and Ainz Ooal Gowl itself, was an Elder Lich.

Before the servers closed permanently, the Elder Lich remained online for the game's final moments. And when the player who played the as Elder Lich reawoke, expecting to have been ejected from Yggdrasil's servers, but to his surprise, instead had been teleported into another world along with Nazarick.

The NPCs themselves had also gained sentience. And now here they all were, lead by the Elder Lich, whom they worship as the Supreme Being.

The New World, it's great mysteries unknown to the inhabitants of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

The Elder Lich's name was formerly Momonga, as upon arrival of this new world, he took on the name of the name of the guild.

Ainz Ooal Gowl.

At the moment, Ainz, with his Floor Guardians gathered before his throne, they were at the brink of war with the Kingdom, a trivial matter really, however Ainz had withheld his troops at bay.

"Lord Ainz." a sultry voice, a voice that could send any man into a lustful craze, called out. The voice belonged to Albedo, the Overseer of the Guardians.

"Albedo." Ainz, the aforementioned Elder Lich, the ruler of Nazarick, replied.

"The invasion upon Nazarick will begin soon."

"Yes, it will. We shall continue with our course of action."

"Lord Ainz, may I ask why you won't allow me to confront those weak humans who dare to traspass upon Nazarick?" Shalltear Bloodfallen, the guardian of the first three floors of Nazarick, asked.

"I have no doubt Shalltear, that you alone is more than enough to confront the Kingdom."

"Then why not send me?"

"We're still uncertain whether the Kingdom possesses any World-class items, especially the one that controlled you. I do not plan to risk your safety, and everyone else present until further notice."

"T-thank you Lord Ainz for caring about my safety!"

"Lord Ainz, perhaps we should enlist some disposable soldiers for the time being." Demiurge, the strategist of Nazarick and guardian of the seventh floor, suggested.

"Disposables... Hmm." Ainz begun to consider his trusted ally's suggestion. "Demiurge, even though I find your idea the most convenient, we need to show this world the might of Nazarick, and for that, we need the strongest warriors within our arsenal, but not using any Guardians."

"Ah! As expected of Lord Ainz! (Sasuga Ainz-sama!) To present Nazarick's might to the world without having to rely on the guardians will surely make our presence known!"
