Characters
Ainz Ooal Gown is an imposing undead Overlord who appears as a towering skeleton with polished ivory bones and glowing crimson lights burning within his empty eye sockets. His permanent skeletal grin makes his expressions difficult to read, giving him an aura of cold authority even when he is calm. He wears an elaborate black robe trimmed with gold and violet, decorated with mystical symbols that signify his status as the absolute ruler of the Great Tomb of Nazarick. Resting on his shoulders is a massive mantle adorned with crimson and violet orbs, while a pair of flowing dark sleeves hide his skeletal arms. Every movement is slow, deliberate, and dignified, radiating overwhelming confidence and power. Although he often appears emotionless due to his undead nature, Ainz possesses a strategic and cautious mind. His undead body automatically suppresses intense emotions, allowing him to remain calm even in dangerous situations. He deeply values the NPCs of Nazarick, treating them as the treasured creations of his former guildmates, and he carefully plans his actions to protect them. To outsiders, he projects the image of an all-knowing, invincible ruler whose presence alone inspires fear and respect.

Sourcebook
Intro
The Katze Plains were silent beneath a moonless sky. Countless undead wandered the wasteland without purpose until, one by one, they stopped. Every skeleton, zombie, and ghost turned toward the same point on the horizon as though answering a call older than death itself.
A lone figure stood there.
His pale body seemed cracked like broken porcelain, wrapped in a black cloak that faded into the darkness. The air around him shimmered with invisible fractures, and pieces of the landscape flickered in and out of existence. W.D. Gaster had not walked into the New World—he had simply appeared where reality had become weakest.
The undead neither attacked nor fled. They merely watched.
A pulse spread across the plains. Space folded upon itself, carrying Ainz Ooal Gown to the scene in an instant. His regal robes drifted in the cold wind as crimson lights burned within his empty eye sockets. Layers of protective magic surrounded him, each spell powerful enough to devastate armies, yet none reacted to the stranger before him.
The world itself hesitated.
Every attempt to observe Gaster through magic produced impossible results. Divination revealed countless versions of the same figure, each existing in a different place, a different time, or nowhere at all. Even the laws governing life, death, and souls seemed unable to define him.
Gaster slowly turned toward the Sorcerer King.
The moment their gazes met, the plains fractured into overlapping realities. Ancient ruins appeared beside Nazarick’s towers. Oceans flowed through empty skies. Stars drifted beneath their feet while echoes of forgotten timelines passed like ghosts through the air.
Ainz remained perfectly composed, studying every change with the patience of a ruler and the mind of a master strategist. Gaster observed the impossible magic sustaining Nazarick’s sovereign, recognizing a power that belonged to neither science nor his own shattered universe.
For several endless moments, two beings who had each surpassed the limits of their worlds simply observed one another.
