Hi, Thankyou for your translation work, this novel is awsome!!

Funny little story, The mmorpg I had played for 5 years shut down a few months back (hell of a coincidence!!) and I was really sad about it, then I saw this new anime called Overlord wich was at episode 2 at the time I found it, when I saw the review about the story of a guy staying till the very end of the closing game I tought "thats just hapen to me!" and after watching the first 2 episodes I fall in love with the story, I search more about it and found the translations of the light novel, I had to read it inmediately.

Obviously my story just have a similar start, but there are several times in the story of Overlord I can relate to, mostly, to the feelings of loosing companions who quit the game, the old memories of friends and rivals, past battles of glory and honor, but not only that, I think I have very good perspective about how it is to be one of the very few people who stay in the game untill the forced logout. As I recall, about 90% of the player database quit after hearing the inminent close down of the game weeks before the final day, most of the players who stay till last moment where not even at the max level cap of the game, some of the veteran players even create new characters the last day just to be begginers again, I remember when people stared to destroy their most powerful equipments because of anger, sadness or whatever reasons they had, I think many people didnt want to see their beloved items vanish into oblivion so they rather destroyed them themselves. I have the feeling the autor of the novel have experienced this himself, (havent heard it anywere its just my theory) and as such I think I can see some of the main plot development. First, Ainz is not gonna find any of his old camarades (they all quit long ago) Second, is very unlikely he will find many players stronger (or with more powerfull items) than himself, by my own experience in game, some veteran players giveaway their items to weak low level players the last days so they could had a little taste of legendary items. Finally, I think Ainz is just gonna accept the fact that he is alone and embrace his role as the world ruler only to watch over his beloved NPCs and see them grow and ultimately die (not everyone in Nazarik are inmortals). I still cant guess if Ainz is the last player who will come to the new world, but that may be the case, if he was the most powerfull player who stay till the end of Yggdrasil, this new world probably couldnt handle that much data so it summoned low level players first in order to shape the world into something capable of handle the amount of power Ainz had (so many powerful NPCs, armors, weapons, treasures, 11 freaking world class items!!), This new world is not Yggdrasil, it only have a little fraction of the game in the form of the players and items they posses at the time the game closed and only of those who stay till the very end, it probably dont even have the locations Yggdrasil had (except for the guild bases who came along with the players who own them).

Well thats just my theory, Im just a former lv90 sword and shield warrior, last of the free players of the PhantomKnights
