Hello, Max Landerville here. It's good to meet you.
Well, let me tell you something about me.
I was a 21 year old male, who lived his entire life in the USA.
A senior in college who made his livings by leaching off of his friends and working my part-time job as a cashier for 7-11.
But then, after I took a nap, I woke up into... something else.
Here, take a look in my character sheet.

All Max could do was simply stand still.
The utter confusion from the transition to sleeping in his couch to the location he's in right now should be too much for his mind.
Only it wasn't.
Without realizing it, Max started to think much more rationally than he possibly should.
'Okay, let's try to understand what just happened.'
Cutting off his thoughts, a voice shouted towards his direction.
"Who in the name of Jez are you!"
Max turns to the source of the question, finally compiling all of his thoughts so far.

1. I'm not in Alex's home anymore.
2. Now, I'm in some sort of creepy throne room.
3. There are around 7 other people in this room.
4. One of the people is sitting at the throne.
5. 6 are standing side-by-side.
5. These aren't actually people.
6. The person in the throne is actually a skeleton wearing very big robes.
7. The other 6 are some other beings which I can't even comprehend right now.
8. Finally, I'm in the middle of these monsters.
9. The monster that asked me who am I is the one of 6 standing closest to the throne in the right-side.
10. He's 2-meter tall and his skin looks like it's made out of red-metal.

Upon closer inspection, the monster that asked who you were looked like some sort of reptile.
You notice the shape of it's face and the coil.
Quickly, Max shouted,"I'm Max."
Oddly, there was not a sense of fear or confusion in his voice.
It almost sounded like he belonged there.
The red-reptile continuing talking.
"Max? I never heard of a race like that, but how dare you, intrude our Great-Overlord's meeting!"
Max swore he heard a snicker behind him after the words 'Great-Overlord', but he didn't dare turn away from the monster.
"Uhhh... I don't actually know how I got here. I'm from Los Angelos and I-"
Wait this overgrown lizard knows how to speak English?
No...
It wasn't that. Max finally realized they were speaking in some other language. Some language that Max never learned but was still able to comprehend it.
The lizard did not wait for you to finish your sentence.
"Hah! Being of Max from LousEngelus, I, Jreet of Red, shall smite you here!"
Using his coil as a spring, the Jreet jumps towards you.

Using insticts alone, Max jumps out of the way from the attack.
-Riiiiip-
That wasn't a good sound.
But, Max didn't feel any pain so it was probably just his clothing ripped.
He looked at the right side of his body, only to find something missing.
His right arm was gone.
Well actually, his right arm was on the floor over there.
However, Max didn't shout nor was he worried.
There was only a slight sense of urgency in his head.
Instead of shouting in fear, he looked closer to his fallen arm.
His arm was so...bony. Like it came right off of a skeleton. There was even some patches where there wasn't even any skin.
Looking back towards the threat, the Jreet stopped and only looked at the fallen arm. It's mouth gaping.
It was almost as if the Jreet was more in shock of the detached limb than Max.
Suddenly a large booming, rattling sound was heard from the throne.
>"ANOTHER LICH? YOU DARE CHALLENGE MY OPPOSITION TO RULE?"
Max turns his to the throne to see the skeleton with the big robes standing up.
>"YOU SHALL PAY FOR YOUR INSOLENCE. FEAR THE MIND-POWERS OF I, MANGIN OF WEALTH"
Preparing for the worst, Max stood ready.
Silence.
...
Nothing was happening...
>"MUAHAHAHA, YOU MUST BE PARALYZED FROM MY POWERS."
>"FOOLISH ASH-SHIT EATING PIECE OF MULTA. YOUR BONES WILL BE USED AS MY YUT INSTRUMENT."
The skeleton was started to really piss Max off.

>"BEGONE WITH YOU SON OF A TWO HEADED KINLIN. I AM THE GREATEST LICH OF ASLIET!"
'This guy needs to shut up.'
Max ignoring the possible outcomes of his action walks towards to the blabbering skeleton.
>"W-W-WHAT'S THIS! HOW ARE ABLE TO MOVE."
Finally, Max stood right in front of the bags of bones.
>"HAH! I SEE YOUR POWER MUST BE STRONG TO DEFEND AGAINST MINE. THEN I SHALL USE ALL OF MY ABILITIES THEN!"
Max prepares his body for his attack.
>"WHAT! YOU ARE STILL ABLE TO MOVE! THAT'S IMPOSSIBLE! I AM THE RULER, EVIL OVERLORD, THE LICH WHO SHALL BRING DESTRUCTION TO THIS WORLD"
Charging up, Max prepares his deadly move that he was trained all through-out middle school against bullies.
He lands an uppercut in the Lich's chin.
-pop-
The skeleton's skull flies away and it's body starts crumbling.
All that was left was it's robes and some white ash.
"Oh shit. Did I kill it?"
Max turns around, asking the others.
All he saw was the 6 monsters looking at the fallen lich and then at Max.
'Should I say something here...'

>Now what?

>>37754534
'Well I'm probably dead now anyways, better have some fun in my last moments.'
"I have no idea what's going on, but GG, you guys are all filthy casuals."
Max, still with one of his limbs missing, proceeds to sit in the throne.
As soon as Max sits, the 6 monsters begins bowing. Even the Jreet.

""""""All hail New Overlord Max of LousEngelus!!!"""""""

First, confused by the progression of the events, Max remembered his bony arms and the old Lich's words.

"ANOTHER LICH? YOU DARE CHALLENGE MY OPPOSITION TO RULE?"

'Did I just become the ruler?'
While in deep thought, Max finally realized the Jreet coming towards him.
Max gets tense from possibly danger, but then realizes the Jreet has his head down and was carrying something.
The lizards speaks very quietly.
"Forgive me, Overlord! I had no idea you possess such great power! I don't even deserve the name you bestow to us, feelti cazuul! This being which can only be compared to a Mulat can only give forgiveness by death!"
It then proceed to hand you your lost right arm.

"Thanks m8, you're alright for a lizard naga man thing. You can have your name back if you prefer it. So, what is all this and where the fuck am I?"
Jreet begins to look flustered, if a lizard can look flustered that is.
"Never! I shall treasure the name of Jreet of Feelti Cazuul to the end of my life!" Then the Jreet looks confused, "Why are you are asking wher-"
The Jreet was interupted by a female, buzzing voice.
"Foolish Jreet, bzz. The Overlord's memory must have been damaged from the grand mind battle, bzz."
Max now changes his sight towards the voice.
It was a woman that looks actually human.
But only, with insect parts and spider legs.
The insect-person begins to speak and bows towards you.
"I am the Insect Queen of Feelti Cazuul, bzz. I shall try to jog your memories by giving you reminders, Overlord."

This is what Max learned so far.

He's on a different world.
He is in the Asleit, the Kingdom of Monsters.
Max soon found out that there are humans on this world but they have bad relationships with monsters.
The former Overlord even declared war against the humans for 700 years.
Asleit holds about many different type of monster races.
The 6 before Max were known as the 6 Colors (they now call themselves the 6 Feelti Cazuul), the strongest of monsters in the kingdom.

1. Jreet of Red. A lizard monster with incredible strength and a flexible coil.
2. Insect Queen of Green. In charge of most of the monster races dealing with insects, parasites, etc.
3. Zimbil of Blue. An undead that seems to be unbeatable with it's unlimited stamina and regeneration.
4. Myu of Yellow. A mage demon that looks like a little kid.
5. Lixiver of Purple. A fallen angel that was banished from the heavens with unholy magic.
6. Poly of White. A changeling that can copy not only appearance, but abilities.

Overlord seems to be passed on by battle of mind-magic, the ultimate magic, apparently.
And since Liches are the only beings with mind-magic, Overlords are always Liches.

Also monsters doesn't seem to have a sense of name.
They call themselves by their race and a title.
So it will be "(Race) of (Title)"

Insect Queen: "Any other questions?"
>>
>>37755933
Yeah status of the war, and what does our economy look like?
>>
>>37755974
>>37755933
Also, do we get a harem? Just for info
>>
>>37755933
>>37755974
+1 Also ask them uh, whats going on now were they having a meeting or something?
>>
>>37755933
Seems like the old Overlord wasn't much a thinker.
He lets the same type of monsters roam in a single location to hold off the humans.
The mushroom rats will be around in the Plains of Elis.
The Fire Golems will be roaming in the Myon Volcano.
Stuff like that.
It sounded exactly what MMORPG grinding locations would use.
Put the same type of monsters with the same amount of strenght in one.
While the monsters are confident in their victory, they actually never cared in learning what was happening in the "war".

And when you asked about economy, Insect Queen only titled her head in confused.
Monsters don't use currency.
The system is like the strong takes from the weak, kind of sort.

They appeared to have a meeting about a group of rumored human heroes from the Kingdom of Weslo.
In some old prophecy, these heroes are apparently destined to kill the Overlord and free the humans from the monster's violence.

"A harem? I did not know Liches would have need for sexual activity? Seeing how you are made out of bones."
The Insect Queen then had a micheivious smile,"But, I shall gladly offer my body if you wish."
---

And that's how I became the Overlord of a Kingdom of Monsters.
By uppercutting a skeleton.
