The Machine King of Nazarick (OC x Overlord)

Johan Lemoine has always had a knack for playing the villain in video games. I mean, really, who wouldn't prefer conquering worlds over saving them? His gaming hours are spent in YGGDRASIL, where he's a proud member of the notorious guild Ainz Ooal Gown-not to be confused with any other guilds that might accidentally get steamrolled by his personal squad of Cogs. Johan's hobbies include lounging with his guildmates, customizing his gear, and of course, sending his mechanical minions to wreak havoc on rival guilds. After all, nothing says "relaxation" like a bit of mechanical chaos.

Life in YGGDRASIL is perfect-until his dad, Martin, drops a bombshell: the servers are shutting down. All those hours grinding levels, collecting rare loot, and meticulously crafting villainous schemes? About to vanish into the digital ether. Johan's disappointed, but when it comes to server shutdowns (or his dad), there's no arguing. It's the endgame.

What Johan doesn't realize is that this isn't the final boss. As the shutdown timer ticks down, YGGDRASIL has one last twist: his virtual world becomes his new reality. It's time for Johan to find out what it's like to be the villain-for real. The question is: can he survive the overwhelming power of the Zeo Crystal? Or will it leave him shattered-like an overclocked motherboard?
