Well, I just saw that D&D had influence over the novel mentioned in one of the comments here on the wikia and so went reading about it (thus my findings). As anything in the world is influenced by something, it's all pretty much related to each other at this point. Also, if the process to becoming a Lich was indeed based off of Cthulhu Mythos (yes with an h there :D ), then it's kinda similar as that Lich body one makes to transfer into would have the same purpose as a phylactery (contain your soul for never ending life). The thing about the orb and body transferring using it (orb as phylactery theory of mine) was just something I theorized/came up after remembering those things I referenced before.

In the first place, Momonga is supposedly a character in the form of a Lich (be it that there was a Necronomicon quest/process to get that race) within a game, so there wouldn't really be any specifics about phylacteries and stuff aboul souls (else it would be like that in the game, stab a Lich player's phlactery = insta-kill which makes no sense to play as one). I think it would be possible for him to use magic and create a new body like a wearable armor/item or create a magic spell which turns him flesh and blood (like that Perfect Warrior except for race). The novels could expand on the unknown new rules and old rules that are now different since they're in the New World (I remember Log Horizon's magic creation/World Fraction). Seeing as the NPCs themselves mentioned Ainz could have a child, it's not entirely impossible.
