Overlord: Ancient One

The term "DMMO-RPG," which stands for "Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game," is used in the year 2126. By connecting a specialized console to the subject's brain, these games can be played. Additionally, it makes use of a hybrid of cyber and nanotechnology known as the neural Nano-interface, a network of Nano-computers. They are the kinds of games that let players enter a virtual world and interact with it as if it were the real world.

The military originally developed this technology in 2080 for uses like training soldiers and gaining combat experience. Later, it was introduced by cooperatives, leading to an era of virtual reality games.

In a large luxurious room, You can see a young man around twenty or twenty-one years old sleeping in a bed comfortably. But his sleep was disturbed by a sudden voice.

[Wake up sir, your order is about to be delivered]

After a couple of minutes, the boy started to wake up and get up from his bed.

"Good morning, Friday"

[It's noon, sir] Friday said, even though she is a skill given to Arthur, her speech contented mature woman tune.

"Well fuck, is the order delivered yet"

Of course, this boy that was standing alone and talking to himself like a crazy man is none other than Arthur and the one he was talking to was his skill, Raphael. During the twenty years, he named this skill Friday. She is the only one who he can call a true companion in this shitty world.

[It's on the way sir, you only have half an hour to get ready]

"It's more than enough for me "

After a while, The doorbell Arthur opened the door and saw two people standing in front.

"Hello sir, Are you Mr Arthur?"

"Yes, My name is Arthur." he said to the two people.

"Well, Nice to meet you, Mr Arthur, We are here to deliver a package that was sent to your address, please confirm that this is yours?" The delivery man shows him the Information about the package.

"Yes, I ordered it. Can you put it inside" As he said, the two people carry the package inside one of the rooms he previously prepared for this. After they set things up they left.

Drones are typically used to deliver orders in today's society because they are quick and efficient, but because this is a custom build, it is delivered directly to my home to prevent any potential flaws.

"I can't wait to explore the new world, are you ready Friday"

[I always am, sir]

While grinning, he connected to the neuro interface and entered the Virtual world.

It's not the first time Arthur has played a DMMO-RPG game; in the past, he has played a variety of DMMO-RPGs in a range of genres, from fantasy to modern. He had previously played [ABERAGE] as one of his games. It involved the players creating their power suits and using them in combat.

Players can also use customized versions of their unique character builds. This includes the kind that uses paper armour, has high speed and firepower, and is balanced with average armour.

He only played this game because it was mentioned in canon as a power suit originated from this game, also some of Ainz Ooal Gown Guild such as Beast King Mekongawa, Nishikienrai, and Punitto Moe played this game.

but that is not the reason he is happy, today is special due to a particular DMMO-RPG that he has been waiting for for the past twenty years, Is officially going to release its first Beta test.

After Arthur entered the Virtual world the first thing he was greeted by was darkness, followed by the video of the game system.

{Welcome to the world of YGGDRASILL, Player. The World Tree YGGDRASIL is dying. The World Tree which had countless leaves is dying because of a gigantic monster who appeared and is devouring these leaves, causing them to fall one after the other, until only nine were left. These nine leaves were the previous incarnations of the Nine Worlds.}

{The leaf-eating monster has now continued its advance to the point where it seeks to devour the remaining world which are: Asgard, Álfheim, Vanaheim, Niðavellir, Midgard, Jötunheim, Niflheim, Helheim, and Múspellsheim.}

{We want you young heroes to Stop the advance of the devourer and protect your world from this calamity. For this, you have to choose a race.}

After the brief introduction was over a blue screen appears in front of Arthur in which three options are given: Humanoid, Demi-Human, and Heteromorphic. There was also an explanation given at the bottom of each section.

Humanoid being: A race with a human-like appearance. This Race also takes all of their level-ups in Job Classes as they cannot have Racial Levels. This includes species like Dark Dwarf, Dark Elf, Dwarf, Elf, Four Eye, Half-Elf, Hill Dwarf, Human, Rainbow Eye, Sharp Horn, Wild Elf, Winged Human, etc

Next is Demi-Human: Races seem human-like but have obvious skin colours or physical attributes like Goblins, Ogres, or Trolls. But some have partly upright postures with animal-like features like Beastmen, Minotaur, or Lizardmen. Demi-Humans have a balance of job to racial class stats. This Race includes species such as Beastman, Bafolk, Bugbear, Boggard, Caben, Centaur, Giant, Goblin, Kobold, Lizardman, Mandrake, Merman, Minotaur, Naga Raja, Nekomimi, Ogre, Quagoa, Rabbitman, Snakeman, Srasch, Toadman, Troll, Tuveg, etc comes under this group.

And lastly is Heteromorphic Races: Also known as Inhuman or Monster Races, most of these races have features that appear only monstrous, and can only appear human from abilities and skills. They can dedicate levelling up to racial classes limiting their job classes, or vice versa. This race includes species such as Angel, Undead, Demon, Golem, Half-Golem, Death Vine, Dragon, Dragonoid, Elementals, Plants, etc.

From these three races, my obvious choice would be Heteromorphic Race. I know most people would probably choose a Humanoid or Demi-Human Race and I also know that they are good and have potential especially when all the Levels are invested in jobs but, I don't want that. I don't want to lose those juicy Racial class features.

There are over 3000 Species available to choose from and over 2,000 basic and advanced job classes available in the game to unlock and choose from through various conditions. As such, in this system, it was virtually impossible to make identical characters unless one was deliberately trying to do so.
