Hi there, to anyone reading this!

This part of the introduction is an updated one made at May 17 2018. The original version of this introduction can be found at the bottom. Without further ado, let's begin the introduction.

Overlord Phantasy is a fic written by me, one of the many followers of Overlord series. I write this as a side hobby, and I am trying a somewhat different approach than most Original Character (OC) stories. The protagonist of this story is the player character I played in an MMORPG titled Phantasy Star Online 2 (PSO2). I played the South East Asia server which shut down at May 26 2017, so I can relate to Momonga myself in a certain way.

In battles, the protagonist will be using combat techniques from his PSO2 origin, and explanation of what the tech does will be provided as necessary. I will try my best so that prior knowledge of PSO2 is not required to read the story.

The story format will, like many other fics, follow the chronological order of the light novel from the beginning. However, canon events will be mostly 'offscreen' to avoid becoming a mere carbon copy of the original novels. Departure from canon is planned to happen later after going through the first few volumes.

That is all for the introduction. I hope you find my side hobby enjoyable enough.

First of all, hello there whoever reading this!

I'm just simply one of many followers of Overlord series. I've read the manga and LN to their latest update, and I also have watched the anime. I'm totally looking forward to how the season 2 of the anime will turn out.

Putting that aside, I'd like to tell that I'm gonna do a shameless self-insert fic of this series as a side hobby. I hope whoever gonna read this aren't tired of such fic already. ^^'

I have written the first chapter already, but before I publish it I would like to ask a question.

Should I publish this story as a crossover or not?

The situation here is that my OC is the character I played in Phantasy Star Online 2 MMORPG. Official characters from Phantasy Star series never appear in the story other than a few minor mentions by my OC. Also, my OC uses combat spells from PSO2 verse instead of Overlord tier magic. I feel that there are no significant materials crossing over that I should publish this as crossover, but I'm not sure myself either.

Additional note for people familiar with PSO2: I only played the now-closed SEA server, so lore-wise my character never experienced the events of Episode 3 and beyond.

I hope you guys find my side hobby at least acceptable.
