Overlord (Novel) Vol. 01

Discover the dark and addicting world of Overlord Novel Vol. 01!

The once popular game “Yggdrasil” was supposed to shut down that day. Everyone was supposed to be logged out automatically. But the players who stayed online past the moment the servers went quiet found themselves transported to a game world made real. Leading them is Momonga–a man whose love of games in the real world brought him only loneliness, now a skeletal sorcerer. The legends of Momonga and his guild begin here!

Biographical Note:

Kugane Maruyama is the author behind the Overlord novel series, including Overlord Novel Vol. 01.

Muchimuchi Puririn was his handle name when he first posted Overlord on the website. Subsequently, he changed his pseudonym to Kugane Maruyama when Overlord got published; he didn’t want readers to cast strange eyes when purchasing Overlord since Muchimuchi Puririn means “blubbery fatty”.

His short story Dawn has been adapted in Kagetsu Tohya which is Type-Moon’s sequel to their earlier doujin visual novel game, Tsukihime, released in August 2001.

Even Nasu Kinoko, the writer of Fate/stay night, praised his work but Maruyama gave up the dream of becoming a writer because he felt the difference in talent between Nasu and himself.

He is a big fan of the Dungeon and Dragons game. One of the reason he started writing again was all of his DnD buddies were too busy to play with him.

So-bin is the artist behind the Overlord novel series, including Overlord Novel Vol. 01.

Title Note:

Perfect for fans of Sword Art Online and Log Horizon.
