Overlord (book 1)

Momonga who really wanted to hear the profound knowledge of his old friend, Blue Planet,

whom he missed greatly. He slightly turned to his side.

Of course there was no one next to him. It was impossible.

Momonga heard the sound of flapping wings, and the changing shape of Demiurge entered his

eyes.

From his back was a pair of wet looking, black wings. His face also went from human to a frog

like face. This was Demiurge’s half demon form.

Some of the heteromorphic races classes can transform into several different forms. In Nazarick,

both Sebastian and Albedo have different forms.

Although it was troublesome to learn these unusual racial forms, they had been popular for a

long time because one could be like a final boss with several forms from different heteromorphic

races. A lot of people liked these unusual races, but having settings like pure human or half

human had some weaknesses, while playing as a heteromorphic race gave special abilities.

Momonga looked away from the transformed Demiurge and back to the stars in the sky, like

speaking to friends who were not here Momonga sighed:

“.... Even just relying on the moon and the stars I can see the scenery…. Its hard to believe this

is really the real world. Blue Planet-san…. The sky is real y shining like a jewelry box.”

“Perhaps that is so. This world’s beauty must surely be precious stones created just for the sake

of decorating Momon——Black Knight-sama.”

Namorax: The TL i got: “This world’s beauty must surely be used to decorate Momon——Black Knight-sama’s precious stones .”

CoCayn: No boner but at least shiny jewel balls ¬¬

The sudden speech seemed to have come from his partner’s strange delusions, made

Momonga feel a little angry. However looking at a scenery like this, the anger soon disappeared.

Moreover, after looking down on the world he felt as if it was very small. In his heart he started

to think that continuing to act like an evil Overlord was a pretty good idea.

“It is truly beautiful. These stars were meant to decorate me eh… Perhaps it is so. I wil leave

my body here, in order to obtain this jewel box that belongs to no one.”

Momonga extended his hand in front of him and clenched his fist. The stars in the sky seemed

to fall into his hand. Of course, it was because the stars were being blocked by his hand.

Momonga shrugged at his childish behavior, turned towards Demiurge and said:

“.... No, this isn’t something that I alone should have. Perhaps it should be used to decorate the

Great Tomb of Nazarick——the Ainz Ooal Gown of me and my friends.”

“...A truly awe inspiring speech. If you wish, I wil immediately bring the armies of Nazarick and

take this jewel box. Presenting this gift to my beloved Momonga-sama, would be Demiurge’s

greatest honor.”

Towards Demiurge’s grand act, Momonga softly smiled.

Thinking about whether Demiurge is also immersed in this atmosphere.

“For now we do not know what kinds of creatures live in this world, so I can only point out the

fallacy of your idea. Our presence here is extremely small. However, conquering the world is a

very interesting idea.”

Conquering the world would be something only the bad guys who appear in children’s television

shows would say.

In fact, it wouldn’t be easy to conquer the world. Problems would also arise if one does conquer

the world, since law and order had to be maintained to prevent rebellion, there had to be unity

between the countries and so on. Just by thinking about some of these things, the idea of

actually conquering the world would quickly lose its appeal.

Although Momonga was fully aware of these things, he still spoke about of wanting to conquer

the world. Because after seeing the beauty of this world, his childish desires were triggered by it.

Also, because of having to maintain his act of the leader of the notorious Ainz Ooal Gown, he

accidentally let out some childish lines

In addition, there was another reason.

“.... Urbet-san, Luci★Fer-san, Variable Talisman-san, Beruriba-san….”

More than once he remembered jokingly saying to his guild members “together we wil conquer

the world of Yggdrasil”.

He knew that Demiurge was the smartest person in Nazarick, so he should understand that the

talk about conquering the world was just some childish nonsense.

Had Momonga known what kind of expression the frog-faced Demiurge was making, the

conversation wouldn’t have ended there.

Momonga did not look at Demiurge, just staring at the horizon where the earth met the sky.

“.... An unknown world. But in this world… Is there only me? Did the other guild members also

come here?”

Although it was impossible to create a second character in Yggdrasil, for those who had already

left the game it was possible to create a new character just to come back for the last day. It was

also possible that Meromero had returned during the moment the server was supposed to shut

down.

In conclusion, Momonga living here was an abnormal situation. If this was caused by some

unknown phenomenon, then others who were still playing the game could have been stranded
