Chapter 1: Overlord Game!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Welcome to the Overlord Game!]

[As you can see, you have all been exiled to the dangerous mountain range.]

[Survival and building a city are your only goals. If you want to live as long as possible, please remember the following key points!]

[1: This is the Overlord World. Science is not part of the current civilization. Swords and magic are the eternal truths of this world.]

[2: Do not give up your current territory easily. Here, you can at least have some helpers and will be absolutely safe for seven days.]

[3: The ferocious beasts in the forest will destroy your construction, but you can also obtain food by hunting wild beasts. The flesh and blood of powerful beasts are excellent food. You might get a surprise after eating them.]

[4: The world you are in is vast. Everywhere around you may be the domain of other monsters, so be careful when you go out.]

[5: In unfamiliar caves in the wild, there may be special ‘survival supplies’, but there may also be extremely dangerous monsters. You can try to defeat them and perhaps have an unexpected gain.]

[6: Taking down a monster lair will grant you special soldiers, but you must have enough combat power and gold coins to tame monsters.]

[7: Collect as much of the surrounding supplies as possible. Even stones and trees have their uses.]

[8: If you are fortunate enough to meet your kind, you may choose alliance, trade, or pillage. My advice is pillage, after all, war is the only way to get rich.]

[9: The system is already bound to you. You only need to chant mentally to open it. It is very convenient.]

[10: If you wish to learn more, you will have to rely on your own efforts. In short, most of the functions have been activated. I only hope that you do not miss anything.]

[Finally, as a greeting gift, I will give everyone a free lair. As for what species it has, it will depend on your luck. You don’t have to thank me. Survive well, and hope you have fun.]

…

In the ruined wooden house filled with holes, Rene frowned.

What appeared in front of him was a blue system panel with a large number of game rules recorded on it.

Looking at the rules, Rene’s face showed some uncertainty.

If he did not remember wrongly, he should have been participating in wilderness survival activity. Then, everything around him froze at the same time like a statue.

After that, he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he found himself in this strange place.

In the dilapidated wooden house, there was nothing but light filtering through the cracks. For some reason, Rene was sitting in the only position inside, like a poor landowner guarding an empty house.

“Overlord Game?”

“Is this a survival-type game?”

After reading the information, the uncertainty in Rene’s heart lifted.

But it seemed that he was in a terrible situation.

Standing up, he surveyed his surroundings.

In the next second, a light blue information panel appeared.

————

[Worn Down Overlord’s Hall] (Rank 1 Construction)

[Quality]: Normal

[Level]: 1

[Owner]: Rene

[Effect]: Allows new buildings to be created in the territory and provides 1 gold coin per day.

————

This dilapidated wooden house was actually the Overlord’s Hall?

Looking at the message, Rene felt a headache coming on.

If even the most luxurious building in the territory was like this, the other buildings would definitely be even more unsightly. Even with such an initial condition, he could be considered an Overlord?

“Looks like time is tight.”

“The rookie protection period is only seven days. I have to hurry.”

“Let’s figure out the functions in the game interface first.”

Rene concentrated on the game interface.

The next moment, a new information panel appeared on his interface.

[Character Information], [Chat Channel], [Trading System], [Auction System], [Construction System], [Creation System], [Territory information]…

On the upper right corner of the interface, there was the phrase “Rookie Protection”. The remaining time was 6 days and 23 hours. This meant that after 6 days, the Rookie Protection would disappear. At that time, they would face the threat of wild monsters.

Rene looked at his information panel.

In the next second, a character page appeared.

————

[Name]: Rene

[Race]: Human

[Class]: None

[Grade]: Ordinary

[Level]: 1

[Health]: 10

[Damage]: 1-3

[Attack]: 1 (Increases the attack of the territory’s members, increases damage dealt)

[Defense]: 0 (Increases the defense of the territory’s members, decreases damage received)

[Strength]: 0 (Affects magic effects, increases skill damage and skill effects)

[Mind]: 0 (Affects the maximum MP of Heroes and enhances magic effects)

[…]

This was Rene’s character interface. There was nothing on it, and his attributes were quite low.

If he were to develop his own territory, he would definitely become food for the wild beasts in seven days.

Fortunately, in this world, Overlords did not need to fight. Even if he died in a war, he could rely on the territory’s main hall to resurrect.

Therefore, if there was a war between two territories, the final outcome would definitely be to destroy the other party’s territory.

Of course, it was still too early to say that. What Rene needed to do now was familiarize himself with everything here and then build his own territory.

Rene closed the interface and opened the [Chat Channel].

The information page immediately changed. A very simple chat area appeared with countless Overlords’ messages.

“What happened? Why am I in a cabin?”

“Someone save me! I’m so afraid to be alone in the forest!”

“There’s nothing here. How can I develop my territory?”

“I have billions of assets. Why would I want to be a damned Overlord here?!”

“Doomsday is coming, hahahaha.”

Countless comments appeared in the chat.

He noted that there was a number 3 on the list, which meant that he had only three chances to speak.

At this time period, messages were not meant to be spent on complaints.

He shook his head and closed the page.

Rene was disappointed. He had originally wanted to obtain information related to the construction of the territory. This was the most important thing.

As the rules had already revealed, there were countless monsters wandering around the territory. Once the protection period ended, everyone would face the threat of death.

Unfortunately, most people did not notice this. Some people even wasted their only chance to speak.

How foolish!

Rene wasted no time in checking the rest of the functions.
