Overlord (book 1)

So, if everyone was able to understand each other, then it should be possible to speak to other

species as well. Such as talking to dogs or cats. The only problem was that nobody knew who

made it this way. But for some reason, the Vil age Chief didn’t think that this was strange in any

way.

As if it was something completely ordinary.

——In other words, this was the common sense of this world. Thinking calmly about it, since

this was a magical world, the fact that there would be a completely different common sense

wasn’t strange at all.

The common sense he learnt throughout his past life and the common sense of this world was

completely different. This was a fatal problem.

If he wasn’t familiar with the common sense of this world, it was possible for him to commit a

fatal blunder. The trait “lack of common sense”, was definitely a bad thing.

Presently, Ainz was missing this common sense. He had to think of a solution, but since he

couldn’t think of a good idea, should he just go to find a random person and get him to spit out

all of his common sense to him? Of course not.

It looked like there was only one way.

"...... It seems I will have to live in a city for a while."

Many things will require him to learn about the common sense of this world. It was also

important to understand the magic of this world. There were simply a lot of things you needed to

know.

Deep in thought, Ainz heard the sound of gentle steps approaching the thin wooden door from

outside. Although the footsteps were heavy, the time between each step indicated that they did

not move quickly. They were the footsteps of a person who wasn’t in a hurry.

The moment Ainz turned his face in the direction of the door, somebody knocked on the door.

The vil age chief couldn’t help but observe Ainz's face. Since the price for saving their lives was

to explain things, he didn’t dare to leave without Ainz’s consent.

"Please go ahead. I just wanted to take a break anyway, so it doesn’t matter if you want to

leave."

"I am very, very sorry about this."

The village chief gently nodded to apologize, stood up and walked towards the door. A villager

appeared at the door, who first looked at the village chief and then towards Ainz:

"Chief, I'm sorry to bother you while you are talking with your guest, but the funeral is ready ......"

"Oh ......"

The chief’s gaze moved to Ainz, as if he was requesting his permission.

"It doesn’t matter, don’t mind me."

"Thank you. Tell everyone I'll be right there."

Have fun reading!

The funeral was held in the cemetery at the outskirts of the village. The cemetery itself

consisted of a shabby fence which enclosed an open space, with several vertical round stones

that had names engraved on them.

The village chief read an epitaph to console the souls of the recently departed. He spoke of

gods who didn’t exist in Yggdrasil and prayed that the souls may rest in peace.

Apparently they couldn't bury all the bodies due to a shortage of manpower, so they only buried

a portion of them. From Ainz’s perspective, burying someone on the same day they died was a

bit premature. Perhaps this world had religious practices unknown to Ainz and burying someone

quickly was considered normal.

The villagers were all gathered inside the cemetery, among them Ainz also saw the two sisters

he rescued - Enri and Nemu Emmott. Ainz confirmed that the two corpses over there are their

parents; apparently their burial would take place soon.

Ainz observed them from a nearby position while embracing a thirty centimeter wand beneath

his robe. The wand was made from ivory, decorated with gold at the tip. Its grip was engraved

with runes and gave off a divine scent.

The wand's name was [Resurrection Wand].

With this magic item it was possible to bring the dead back to live. Ainz obviously had more than

one wand. He even had enough of them to resurrect all the dead in this village and leftovers to

spare.

According to the village chief, there was no magic in this world that could revive the dead. If

Ainz were to use the resurrection wand, he could create a miracle in this village. But after the

prayers were concluded and the funeral was coming to an end, Ainz slowly put the wand back

into the Item Box.

He could resurrect the dead, but did not do so. It wasn’t because he believed that it was God’s
