Chapter 1: DMMO-RPG
Life was a nightmare. I graduated from high school with no prospects, no dreams, no escape. I was trapped in a world that had no place for me, a world that saw me as a failure, a waste of space. But I refused to give in.
I was alone. I grew up on the streets, with no family, no support, no love. I had to scrape and claw to make it through high school, and when it was all over, I realized it was all for nothing. I had no ambition, no drive, no passion. I had friends who thought they knew me, but they had no idea what I had been through. They thought I was strong, resilient, mature. But they were wrong. Inside, I was a hollow shell, a ghost of a person. And I would do whatever it took to keep them from finding out the truth.
I was abandoned. I was forgotten. I was lost in a world that didn't care, that didn't see me, that didn't want me. I was alone, with nothing but my own thoughts to keep me company. And those thoughts were dark, suffocating, hopeless. I was consumed by despair, by bitterness, by rage. I was a prisoner of my own mind, and there was no escape.
But then, I discovered anime. It was a lifeline, a glimmer of light in the darkness. It showed me worlds beyond my own, filled with adventure, with romance, with magic. It gave me a glimpse of what life could be, of what I could be. It gave me hope.
"I was drawn to Overlord. I saw a trailer for it on a jumbo screen on my way home to my crumbling apartment in Tokyo, Japan. I was captivated by the images, the music, the story. It was the first time in my life that I felt a spark of excitement, of curiosity, of longing.
I knew I had to see it. But I had no money, no connections, no resources. I was a nobody, a lost soul in a vast, impersonal city. But I refused to give up. I scoured the streets, the alleys, the libraries. I begged, I borrowed, I stole. I did whatever it took to get my hands on a copy of Overlord.
And when I finally watched it, I was transported. I was no longer alone, no longer invisible. I was a part of something bigger, something wondrous, something exhilarating. I was a hero, a warrior, a conqueror. I was unstoppable
But the real world did not care. It was still harsh, still unforgiving, still indifferent. I was still a nobody, still a reject, still a failure. But I did not give up. I used the power of Overlord to fuel my dreams, to drive my ambition, to ignite my soul.
Overlord consumed me. It was a world of wonder, of magic, of limitless possibilities. It was a refuge from the bleak, miserable reality of my life. It was a spark that ignited my imagination, my creativity, my soul.
I became an Overlord Stan, obsessed with every detail, every theory, every fanfic. I spent every waking moment lost in the world of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, dreaming of what it would be like to be an all-powerful Overlord, to command the mightiest army of undead, to bend the laws of physics to my will.
But the real world would not let me go. It pulled me back, dragged me down, crushed my dreams. I was still a nobody, still a loser, still a freak. I was still trapped in a life that offered me nothing but pain, misery, and despair.
But it was what it was
…
I was a true Overlord Stan, or so I thought. I followed every news article, every forum thread, every fan theory. I knew everything there was to know about the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the Floor Guardians, the Supreme Beings.
But I was blind. I was ignorant. I was a fraud.
It was not until I stumbled upon a rare book in a dusty corner of a used bookstore that I discovered the truth. Overlord had a light novel, a source of endless secrets, mysteries, and revelations. I was stunned, ashamed, humbled.
I knew I had to make amends. I had to confess my sin to the one person who mattered most: the author of Overlord, the master of the Great Tomb of Nazarick, the god of the anime world. I wrote to him, pouring out my heart, begging for his forgiveness.
To my surprise, he replied. He was gracious, kind, understanding. He welcomed me into the Overlord community, and invited me to join him on a journey to the heart of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
And I accepted. I knew it would not be easy. I knew there would be challenges, dangers, obstacles. But I was ready. I was armed with knowledge, with passion, with determination.
I was the Overlord Stan, and nothing could stop me.
My love for Overlord ignited a new passion within me: acting. I started to experiment with different voices, different accents, different personalities. I tried to mimic my favorite Overlord characters, to understand their motivations, their desires, their quirks. I also created my own characters, my own stories, my own worlds.
But I soon realized that acting alone was not enough. I wanted to push the boundaries, to defy the laws of physics, to transcend reality. I wanted to be like my beloved Overlord characters, to wield their powers, to command their armies.
So I delved deeper into the world of anime, searching for answers, for inspiration, for magic. I watched every magic-related anime I could find, from the classics to the obscure, from the silly to the serious. I soaked up their knowledge, their wisdom, their secrets.
And I learned. I learned about spells, incantations, magical artifacts. I learned about alternate dimensions, parallel universes, time loops. I learned about the power of the mind, the heart, the soul.
But none of it compared to Overlord. Overlord was my obsession, my addiction, my soulmate. Overlord was my everything.
And I knew that one day, I would make it mine. I would be the Overlord of my own life, and nothing would stand in my way.
…
The doctors said it was too late, that the cancer had spread too far. They gave me only a few days to live. And so here I lay, staring at the white hospital ceiling, surrounded by the beeping machines that were keeping me alive.
But even as I faced my own mortality, I couldn't help but think of Overlord. The memories of the fierce battles, the cunning strategies, and the complex characters flooded back to me. It had been my escape, my solace, in the darkest moments of my life.
And now, as I lay here on the brink of death, I realized that Overlord had become more than just a show to me. It had become a part of who I was, a part of my identity. I had grown to love it, to cherish it, and to be grateful for the moments of joy it had brought me.
But those moments were coming to an end. I knew that soon I would be gone, my time on this earth cut short. And yet, even as the darkness loomed, I found comfort in the thought that I would be reunited with the characters of Overlord, that we would fight together once more in a world beyond this one.
So here I was, on my deathbed, facing the end with a mixture of fear and acceptance. But I was not alone. I had Overlord with me, and that was enough.
They said there was nothing they could do, that my cancer was too advanced and, I felt a wave of fear wash over me, not because of the prospect of dying, but because I realized I would be alone when it happened.
For years, I had joked with my friends about dying alone, but the reality of it was a harsh and painful truth. I felt a deep sense of sorrow and regret, knowing that I would never see them again, never have the chance to say goodbye.
Surrounded by the beeping machines that were keeping me alive, I took comfort in the memories of the people I had known and loved.
But even in the face of death, Overlord remained a source of joy for me. I had been an avid fan of the show for years, and I refused to let my illness prevent me from watching the new season. Despite the migraines and chemotherapy, I pushed through and finished watching Overlord III.
In the end, it was these small moments of happiness and escape that kept me going, that helped me find some measure of peace in my final days
As I watched the final episode of Overlord, I felt a sense of both satisfaction and sorrow. I had loved the show for years, and even though I knew how it would end from reading the novel, seeing it animated was even more satisfying.
But as the credits began to roll, I couldn't shake the feeling that my time with Overlord was coming to an end. I had pushed myself to the brink to finish watching it, but I knew my willpower wouldn't last forever.
I felt a sense of impending doom, of finality, as I realized that this was the last time I would experience the joy of Overlord. And yet, even in the face of death, I took comfort in the thought that at least I had been able to watch the end of the show that I loved so much.
I knew that my time as an Overlord Stan was coming to an end. Despite the doctors' predictions, I had managed to hold on for years, fueled by my love for the show.
But as my final moments approached, I felt a sense of peace and acceptance. I knew that my journey was coming to a close, but at least I was able to die with a smile on my face and the Overlord outro playing in the background.
It was a fitting end for a diehard fan like me, and I was grateful for the joy and solace that Overlord had brought me throughout my life. And even though I was leaving this world, I knew that I would never truly be alone, as the characters of Overlord would always be with me in my heart.
I prayed every day to whoever was listening. I begged and pleaded for a chance to live among the characters of Overlord, the show that had brought me so much joy and comfort over the years.
But deep down, I knew that those prayers were just the wishful thinking of a dying man. I didn't expect them to be answered, and yet, I held on to that hope, clinging to it like a lifeline.
In my final moments, I was at peace.
…
And then, as I read the words in front of me, I realized that my prayers had not been in vain. The words held a glimmer of hope, a promise that I would be able to continue my journey as an Overlord Stan.
I was overcome with emotion, with gratitude, as I realized that I would be able to live among the characters I loved. And even though I still had a long road ahead, I knew that I would face it with hope and determination, knowing that I had been given a second chance at life..
