Overlord: World Conquest
What if, on his way to save Carne Village, Ainz encountered a foe far beyond his expectations? After all, the knights he had faced before were mere ants before the mountain that is the leader of Ainz Ooal Gown.
This is a story similar to the original, with a focus on strategy and kingdom building, and with stronger enemies. The story takes a simple yet unique approach to the MC’s development. In most novels, a transferred character is instantly made to look cool with overpowered abilities, martial talent, or versatile magic, while the original MC is often downplayed. Momonga, however, was just an ordinary, antisocial salaryman. His old world was far harsher than ours, yet he survived the New World’s nightmare-level hardships. Yes, his heaven-defying luck plays a part, but we shouldn’t forget the hard, necessary decisions he makes. He may not be the best administrator or politician, but he is a perfect leader and both a PvP and PvE specialist. His only real limitation was the level cap — which could help him grow not only in ability, but also in leadership, making his subjects stronger in turn.
Note: This isn’t mine. I found it and thought it was good, so I rewrote it to read it.
