Overlord

by Kugane Maruyama

When the MMORPG YGGDRASIL shuts down, Momonga — a max-level skeleton overlord — finds himself trapped in the game world with his loyal NPC servants now fully sentient. As Ainz Ooal Gown, he explores a new world from the perspective of an overwhelmingly powerful isekai villain-protagonist, navigating politics, warfare, and the uncomfortable question of what godlike power does to you.
