Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game.
Also known as a DMMO-RPG.
It is a type of game where you can enjoy an imaginary world as if you were in it.
Yggdrasil.
Released in 2126, it stood above all other DMMO-RPGs
due to its expansive map and unusually high player freedom,
making it explosively popular within the country of Japan.
Now, twelve years later, Yggdrasil is about to see its end.

World
It was fun.
It was really fun.
Great Tomb of Nazarick>9th Floor>Round Table
It's been a really long time, Momonga-san.
I didn't think that you'd come, Herohero-san.
It's been about two years, hasn't it?
It's been that long?
This is bad.
I've been doing so much overtime lately that my concept of time is messing up.
Isn't that bad for your body?
Great Tomb of Nazarick>9th Floor>Round Table
My body? It's completely worn out.
Whoa.
I'm sorry. I didn't come here just to complain.
Please don't worry about it.
Oh, I have to go soon. I'm way too sleepy.
Oh.
Please rest well.
I'm really sorry about this.
But, I'm really surprised that the Great Tomb of Nazarick is still here.
Great Tomb of Nazarick>9th Floor>Round Table
You must have been maintaining it as the guild leader, Momonga-san.
Great Tomb of Nazarick>9th Floor>Round Table
Well, Nazarick was a base that we created together.
Momonga-san, thank you for all your hard work.
I hope we meet again somewhere.
oiaioaio
Herohero has logged out.
Today is the last day Yggdrasil's servers will run.
Why not stay until the end?
No, I'm happy that he even came today.
I hope we meet again somewhere, huh?
Just when and where would that be?
You've got to be kidding me!
Great Tomb of Nazarick>9th Floor>Round Table
This is the Great Tomb of Nazarick that we built together!
How can he give it up so easily?!
No, that's not it.
No one betrayed me.
The guild weapon, Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.
We played recklessly to make this.
Some members used their paid vacation.
Others fought with their wives to make time and get the materials for this.
But among the 40 members, 37 of them quit.
And even the three that were left...
Let's go. You are the testament to our guild.
There were two requirements for joining the guild Ainz Ooal Gown.
The player's avatar had to be inhuman,
and the player had to be a functioning member of society.
That's right, everyone's livelihood was at stake.
There were people who even made their dreams come true.
It can't be helped that they all chose real life in the end.
iaioai
Sebas Tian
oiaioaio
Sebas Tian
Oh, his name was Sebas.
oiaioaio
Sebas Tian
And the combat maids of Pleiades.
We had you all guard the throne room, but no player ever made it this far.
As the guild leader, I should move them around one last time.
I'm sure the guild members will forgive me for doing whatever I want for just today.
Albedo.
The command was "stand by," right?
What were her settings again?
As the strongest NPC in the Tomb of Nazarick,
she supervises all of the guardians...
So long!
Come to think of it, the settings maniac Tabula-san was the one who created her.
On the outside, she's a perfect beauty. By the way, on the inside she's a bitch.
Huh? What's this? A bitch?
On the outside, she's a perfect beauty. By the way, on the inside she's a bitch.
Tabula-san always did love a contradiction between looks and character.
But, this is just too terrible.
You normally need a tool to change the settings, but since I have this...
Should I add something?
She is deeply in love with Momonga.
"She is deeply in love with Momonga."
Whoa! That's so embarrassing! I'm so stupid!
The command was...
"Bow down."
Great Tomb of Nazarick>10th Floor>Throne Room
A relic of the past.
Me, Touch Me, Shijuuten Suzaku, Ankoro Mocchi Mochi,
Herohero, Peroroncino, Bukubuku Chagama, Tabula Smaragdina,
Warrior Takemikazuchi, Variable Talisman, Genjiro...
That's right.
It was fun.
It was really fun.
Great Tomb of Nazarick>10th Floor>Throne Room
I have to wake up at 4:00 A.M. tomorrow.
I need to sleep as soon as the server shuts down or it'll affect my job.
Did they push back the server shutdown?
Where is my console?
I can't use chat or call a GM, either...
What's going on?!
What's wrong, Lord Momonga?
Lord Momonga?
Lord Momonga? Lord Momonga!
Is everything all right?
Is there a problem?
H-Huh? The GM call function isn't working.
Please forgive me.
An ignorant one such as myself has no answer to this "GM call" you speak of.
Her mouth is moving?!
If you allow me to correct this grave mistake, I will be forever grateful!
I'm talking with an NPC?
No way! Is there some kind of error occurring?
The staff functions just like it did in the game, but I can't use my console.
I can't contact the administrators, either.
What should I do?
Sebas!
Is it okay for me to give him orders?
Ugh, just do it!
Sebas. Step out of the tomb and confirm the surroundings around Nazarick.
Understood, Lord Momonga.
Pleiades. Go to the 9th floor and guard it from possible intruders.
As you wish, Lord Momonga.
The NPCs are recognizing orders that aren't specified commands?
What in the world is going on?!
I have to contact the administrators somehow.
If I can't use the GM call function, maybe I can use the message skill?
But will a magic skill used to contact other players reach a GM?
Actually, can I even use magic right now?
So, Lord Momonga.
What shall I do?
Let's see.
Then, come here.
Yes!
Whoa! She smells so good.
Wait, smell?!
There wasn't a function like that in Yggdrasil.
Albedo. I'm going to touch you.
Yes!
She has a pulse.
And, what is this? She's an NPC that only runs on an A.I. program...
Why does she look so alive?
Then, this is the last test...
I have to confirm this no matter what!
Albedo. C-Can I touch your chest?
Huh?
Th-This is necessary!
That's right. Naturally. I have to ask her naturally!
You don't mya— mind, do you?
It was impossible to do it naturally!
Of course. Please touch me as much as you wish!
Let me assess the situation.
The fact that I can do an 18+ action like this means this isn't a new Yggdrasil game,
and the chance that this is a completely different DMMO-RPG is also low.
There is a possibility that this imaginary world became real...
No way. But...
Conversing with the NPCs, their natural expressions, their scent...
These are all things that could never be programmed within a game until now.
Hey, just how long do I plan on fondling her breast?!
A-Albedo. I apologize.
You're going to take me for the first time here and now, right?
What shall I do about my clothes?
Huh?
Should I remove them myself?
Or would you like to remove them, Lord Momonga?
S-Stop that, Albedo! Now is not the time...
No, we don't have time to be doing such things.
I-I am very sorry!
It's fine. Albedo, I forgive you completely.
More importantly, I have an order for you.
I will do anything you wish.
Except for the guardians of the fourth and eighth floor,
gather everyone to the fighting arena on the sixth floor.
Have them gather there in an hour from now.
Understood.
This is terrible.
She is deeply in love with Momonga.
I dirtied the NPC that Tabula-san created...
Shit! I'll worry about that problem later.
I have to take care of the things I need to do right now.
It worked.
It looks like the ring's teleportation function has no problems.
Which means, I can use items.
Albedo and the others are loyal to me just like their original settings.
But, what about the other NPCs?
6th Floor Amphitheater
The twin dark elves that Chagama-san set should be the guardians here...
Victory!
Aura.
Welcome, Lord Momonga!
Welcome to the floor which we guard!
I will intrude for a short while.
What are you saying?! You are the lord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick!
Its absolute ruler!
There is no one that would ever consider you as an intruder!
By the way...
Mare!
You're being rude to Lord Momonga!
Hurry up and get down here!
I-I can't, Sis...
Mare!
F-Fine!
Aw, jeez.
Hurry up!
Y-Yes!
Goodness!
I-I am sorry for making you wait, Lord Momonga.
I came today to have the two of you help me with something.
U-Um, i-is that the legendary item that only Lord Momonga can wield?
Right. This is the strongest guild weapon that we created together.
The Staff of Ainz Ooal Gown.
Each stone in the mouths of the seven crowning snakes is a god artifact.
On top of that, the power in the staff itself transcends god level.
It is on par with any world level item.
Its automatic attack system is especially—
Well, anyways. That's how it is.
A-Amazing.
That's so amazing, Lord Momonga!
I would like to run some tests with it.
Yes! We will prepare immediately!
Also, Aura. I have called all the guardians here.
They will gather here within the hour.
Huh? Is Shalltear coming as well?
In Yggdrasil, you just had to click the icon on your console to conjure magic.
But now, that icon doesn't exist.
But, if I concentrate hard I can feel...
the attack range of my magic, the cool down rate, and how much MP I have!
Summon! Primal Fire Elemental!
A-Amazing!
Primal Fire Elemental.
Its level is in the upper 80s.
Aura, do you want to try fighting it?
Huh?! C-Can I?
U-Um, I just remembered something I needed to do.
Mare!
What?!
Primal Fire Elemental.
Attack the twins!
Magic Shield!
As expected, this is a piece of cake for them.
It looks like the other magic skills aren't a problem, either. However...
Message.
As I thought, I can't connect to a GM or any of my guild members.
Yes. What is it, Lord Momonga?
My message skill connected?
Sebas? How do things look on the outside?
Well, there is a slight problem...
I see. I have called all the guardians to gather.
Come to the amphitheater on the sixth floor immediately and report what you saw.
Understood.
The two of you did well.
Thank you very much. I haven't exercised this much in a while!
You two must be thirsty.
I thought you would be a scarier person, Lord Momonga.
Hm? Really?
I can be scarier if you'd like me to.
How you are now is better! It's definitely the best!
My, am I the first?
Well...
I don't know what's going on in this world at all,
but it seems the NPCs are loyal to me.
Then,
I have to act like a proper superior in front of them.
I also have to collect information.
In Yggdrasil, I was max level.
How strong am I here?
And, if this is another world, should I return to my old one?
I have no friends nor family.
Just working and coming home to sleep every day, what worth is a life like that?
Now, everyone. To our supreme leader, the ritual of fidelity.
The guardian of the first, second, and third floor, Shalltear Bloodfallen.
I bow before the supreme one.
The guardian of the fifth floor, Cocytus.
I bow before the supreme one.
The guardian of the sixth floor, Aura Bella Fiora.
A-Also the guardian of the sixth floor, Mare Bello Fiore.
We bow before the supreme one.
The guardian of the seventh floor, Demiurge.
I bow before the supreme one.
The leader of the guardians, Albedo.
I bow before the supreme one.
Other than the guardian of the fourth floor, Gargantua,
and the guardian of the eighth floor, Victim,
all of the guardians have gathered to bow before you.
Please bestow your orders upon us, Supreme One.
We offer our complete loyalty to you.
Don't you gimme your love 'n passion!
Believe in love, even though there're borders and disturbance and more
I'm the only one who loves you
Because I'm crazy about you
Let's ride to hell, tsuijuu shite Go!
Let's ride to hell – I'll serve you as we go!
issho nara mushiro shinitai janai?
If we're together, I might not mind dying right here and now!
Beyond the line, hate nanka nai
Beyond the line, but there's no end
I swear, I'm gonna be so fucking grateful!
Blessing word, anata wa shikou
Blessing word! You are supreme!
meirei ni Your highness chuujitsu ni Follow
To your commands, I say, “Your highness”, as I faithfully follow.
You give orders, watashi wa shinai
You give orders, but I won't pass them off to anyone;
naniyori toutoi mono yo
You're more precious than anything to me!
I don't know why my love is crying
gyouchaku shitai kajou na kurai
I wanna stick to you, to an excessive degree...
towa ni naritai, Don't wanna cry
I wanna become eternal, don't wanna cry!
shitto mousou kuruisou yo
Jealous delusions – I feel like I'm going mad!
Don't you give me your love and passion?
ai towa boudoushoudou Let go
Love is a rebellious impulse, so let go!
kokoro ijou ni honnou heart made More youkyuu shitai
I wanna demand more than your soul – down to your instinctual heart!
I don't want to live in a world without you
anata igai no kono mirai o Kill it, kill it
Or any future other than yours, so I'll kill it, kill it
I would be happy to kill it for my love
I'm imaging now, if you're mine,
It's like a paradise and haven and more
You're the only man who I love
In my life and destiny and all
Don't you give me your love and passion?
I know the border. It should be wrecked, go
Next Episode
Magic, NPCs, items...
What's going to happen to this world, now that the whole system changed?
And while I oversee all of it,
it takes everything I have to keep my dignity in front of the Guardians.
If they swear loyalty to me, I will become the ultimate supreme ruler.
And if my expectations fail me, my safety will be jeopardized.
I need to be clever and proceed with caution.
