Crossover: Overlord, animes, books and various fantasy and strategy games, like Spellforce(1,2), The Battle For Middle Earth, Warhammer, Forgotten Realms, Lodoss War and so on.
NOTE: There will be some elements of different games, animes and books but I will mostly just gather some of my favorite female characters for the Overlord's harem. Plus I am considering making a mixed main character, the Overlord, by using reincarnation so that he's all of my favorite male characters in one swoop, but with slightly darker emotions. It will start out slow with small minor battles, some which are from the Overlord game, before the gathering of the dark forces begins.
Summary: The world of Danadre is ruled by the arrogant and self-centered races of light. They have established armies to hunt down anything with the work dark, black or evil in it. Making the world into a honey covered field of flowers with ice cream tipping mixed with strawberry jam. The peasants live their lives as normal, but keep low when anyone of the light races pass by, but some of them are kept as slaves or are heavily taxed or mistreated by their leaders who believe their 'holy presence' is more worth then 'unworthy commoners' who shouldn't even be allowed to look at their 'sacred selves'. The races of darkness which haven't been killed or enslaved have all escaped and is now hiding from the marching armies, their leaders long since dead by the hands of the arrogant rulers. They await their death with open arms just to escape the slavery and torture that awaits them if the armies reach them.

OVERLORD (Scene Break)
Chapter One: The Awakening of Enigma
A huge, and ancient, tower stands on the top of a mountain in a large mountain range, nearly impossible to get to and only a large valley by the edge of the mountain the tower was resting on had any signs of life in it. Five great guard towers, around half the size of the main tower, rests on the mountains around it, they were also in ruin. This tower had once been the old fortress and stronghold of the Beast Lords, old creatures who used their magical connection to the realms of hell and magic to rule of the dark forces.
Now it's just a ruin with a small village of humans allied with the darkness living in the valley. The Best Lords had taken hold of the tower as they discovered it and the magical powers and artifacts it possessed were what made them able to command the armies of darkness until their sudden downfall in the ancient age, 10.000 years ago.
The ruins had been silent for a long time and yet it seemed like a thick air of power was starting to emit from it. Something was going to happen, something which would affect the state of the entire world.
In one of the deepest chambers of the temple was the creator of the large structure resting. But that would come to an end. The iron coffin let out a loud screech as a large well tanned hand punched through its 4 inches thick plates and was soon followed by a second arm pushing through the thick metal. With a good grip on the edge of the coffin the arms tensed and lifted up a large man through the thick iron coffin's remaining lock. The torn coffin became peaceful once more as the large man stepped out from the coffin and got down on the stone floor of the chamber, not even wearing a loincloth.
He was tall, 7'10" in total, muscular but with a lean built that showed that he wasn't all muscles. His skin was covered in a dark bronze like tan, scars of different shape and size could be seen on his body, they were all well healed and looked just like pale lines on his skin. A dark blueish green tattoo lines from his stomach to his forehead in the shape of a hideous snake with yellow eyes.
The man's eyes were a pair of emerald orbs glowing with unimaginable power, his face was like it had been cut out of stone and as handsome as a royal high elf. A thin black beard lines from ear to ear and his black spiky hair got lines of red and golden blond in it, making it looked like his hair was made of red flames and ashes as it moved in the breezes blowing through the chamber from the large staircase to the northwest wall of the tomb.
"Where am I?" The man muttered to himself in a deep and raspy voice, his vocals hadn't been used in a long time and he had to cough a little to clear the dust from his throat. He then looked up in surprise as he heard a female voice speak into his mind. -Sire... you have awakened. Come to the throne room... we have much to discuss.-
The man blinked for a moment before he shrugged and walked up the staircase and soon found himself standing in a large throne room which was very damaged, craters everywhere, smashed walls, shattered sculptures and vases, along with the broken stone throne and a rather big dry fountain resting by the end of the hallway. The hallway of the throne-room was also ruined and it lead to different doorways, most which were ruined or blocked by debris, there was a large balcony behind the balcony which was also very damaged. In front of the ruined throne was a faded pentagram with five strange holes by each point of the pentagram's star.
-Sire. You can examine your tower later. I am currently unable to get to you, I am lying by the foot of the throne. I am the blue orb filled with water and ice.- The man blinked as he heard the voice but complied. He walked over to the throne and blinked as he saw a large blue orb on the floor, it was around the size of his head and seemed to be a perfect fit for one of the holes of the pentagram. His large hand took hold of the sphere and walked over to the pentagram and by an invisible force placed the blue stone in the southwestern slot.
The pentagram let out a soft humm and started to glow blue before a relieved sigh was heard in his mind and the female voice could be heard much clearer now, it was that of a young woman and seemed to vibrate with confidence, power and cheerfulness. -Ah that's every so much better. Thank you for putting me back in place Sire. I am pretty sure that you are still confused and tired from your long sleep so I will try to restore you to your former self as good as I can with time. But first I will introduce myself. I am Shiva, the Goddess of Water and Ice. And you are my master, the Overlord, you've never told anyone your real name so you are spoken to by titles. Not even I know your real name.-
The man sat down on the broken throne and scratched his chin in deep thought and did so for ten minutes before he sighed and ruffled his messy spiky hair and spoke. "Very well. Since my name is unknown even to myself will I allow you to call me Enigma, which means mystery or unsolved riddle."
-A good choice Sire. I will start by explaining what has happened since you went to sleep.- The goddess explained how the forces of darkness and light waged war over and over. The forces of darkness had taken over the tower and its guard towers as their main base but had been unable to unseal all its secrets. After a couple of thousand years of endless war and mayhem had the forces of light suddenly gained the higher hand and soon the forces of darkness were all fleeing, put into slavery or killed. The world had turned into a sickening sweet world of flowers, honey and dancing animals, leaving no free will just the enjoyment of being goody. The tower had been ransacked by the forces of light and only a few hidden items remained, among them was Shiva herself, some magical tomes, weapons, armor, tools and a minion spawn pit.
-Listen Sire. The minions are your creation, magical beings which you created to take care of the castle and help you in battles. But most of them have been forced to flee the tower or been enslaved. Only the Soldier minions remain. All of your minions are female and the spawn pit will produce as many as you want. If you want to create more from the spawn pits outside the castle will you have to find the Tower Heart, a giant crystal orb you created, it produces wastes amounts of energy. It is used to create minions outside the tower's region and allows you to transport yourself, items, people, animals, beasts and minions between different Tower Gates, though they are inactive because of your long sleep do you just have ot step on them to activate them, but lucky enough are the Tower Gates near the tower still activated. The garden of the tower has grown into a real forest and is filled with all manners of fruits, berries along with some goats and sheep. There's also a lot of trees and rubble which needs to be removed before the tower can be returned to its former glory. I suggest you summon some minions and let them start on these tasks. You can find the soldier spawn pit by the left side of the portal fountain. Each spawn pit is located there, but only the soldiers are active as I told you earlier so the rest are sealed. Your minions are useful for small group battles and gureilla tactics but for big scale wars will you need more professional soldiers able to help you and your minions in battles.-
After the long lecture Enigma stood up from his throne and walked over to the fountain and blinked at the strange spawn pits. There was a lot of them, around seven in total but there was some empty spaces were there should be room for more. The spawn-pit which was open was a strange crater filled with brown, glowing, liquid which was practically bubbling with energy. He walked over to the edge of the spawn pit and felt his mind recognize the way to summon a minion from it. With a mental scan over the information he had recieved he raised one hand and focused his mind on calling on the minions in the pit. Enigma had to blush as he saw the sexy form that was his soldier minion rise from the pit's liquid.
She was 6'4" in height with a curvy by slightly slim body with an impressive double D rack, her face was sharp and had striking beauty to it, she had bluish-green tribal tattoos on the left side of her face and her hair was red while her skin was dark in color. She was wearing simple rags, a ragged skirt made of black clothe, along with a simple loincloth and a rather tight and ragged black top which showed her nipples poking against the thin material. "What is your command master?" She asked in a sultry voice while hunching forward with both her arms held together, making her bust seem bigger and ready to tear her skimpy top apart. (1)
Enigma help in his desire to just throw her down and make her his and responded. "I want you and twenty more to go down to the garden, which will now act as the Grove, and gather fruit, berries, spices and herbs for food supplies. Gather the goats and sheep and move them to the stables by the courtyard and make sure to take the old ones to slaughter, I will then summon twenty more of your sisters to use the cotton and fur to make better clothes and armor for you, try to find tools and anything you can use for weapons." The girl pouted at the fact that she wouldn't get to have some 'fun' with her master, but nodded at her lord's orders and watched him as he summon twenty more of her sisters. They all went towards the newly named Grove to gather food supplies and move the animals. Soon twenty more soldier minions rose from the pit and was sent to use the cotton and fur of the sheep and goats to make clothing and armour.
-Very nicely done Sire. But even though I know we girls love the view so should you really put some clothes on instead of walking around naked.- Came the amused voice of Shiva. The new Overlord blinked before he noticed a cold breeze blowing between his bare legs and shivered a little. "Good point Shiva. Lead me to where I can get some clothes, or armor, whichever works."
-Very well master, just go down the third staircase to the east, there you will find the Vault, were you keep the more valuable possessions, sadly enough were the protections on the gold not strong enough to stop the plunders am I afraid. But there should be some of your personal armor there, the armor was sealed away so nobody but you could touch it so it hasn't been removed. There's some weapons and clothing as well.- Enigma nodded and followed Shiva's directions and was soon standing in front of a pedestal with an plate armor along with a helmet, a slightly red cape, a red cotton tunic with black runes, a pair of black cotton pants pants, a pair of black silk boxers, a great-axe, a sharp longsword and a rather big mace that looked strong enough to crush a troll's skull.
After putting the clothes and armor on Enigma strapped the sword to his belt while the mace and the axe were strapped onto his back in an x formation with the handles pointing upwards so he could grab them easier. The helmet wasn't put on yet as he wasn't going into battle at the moment, he would need to do some things before he even thought about going into war himself. "Shiva. The Tower Heart, you said I would have to look for it. Any knowledge where it may reside and a way for me to get to it?"
-Hmmm the portal fountain still got a piece of energy left and can transport you to the Tower Gate of the last known location of the heart, it's still active since its one of the first gates made so it got more energy reserves then the other gates. A country in a large nearby alley, it's split up between seven races with heroes as leaders, though I've heard these heroes are very corrupted and each seems to have been turned into the physical form of the seven sins. They are unimportant to the Forces of Light but they were the ones ordered to guard your stolen items since the Forces of Light thought it would be too tiring to drag them through the mountains. The Mellow hills is the center of the land and human peasants and halflings live there. The Golden Hills is the mountain range to the North which is ruled by the dwarves and their greedy lord Goldo Golderson. To the South is the Ruborian Desert which is ruled by Jewel the Thief. To the East is Heaven's Peak that is ruled by Sir William the Black, a paladin who has turned into a sex starving maniac. To the West is the Evernight Forest which is ruled by Oberon Greenhaze, a ranger who has become as lazy as a tree. To the Southwest is the Star Fields, the Keep of the Morning Star is standing there and is ruled by Kahn the Warrior, who got a really bad temper even before turning into a sin. To the Northeast lies the Frost Peaks, and there lies the Frozen Throne, a huge tower where Arthas the Wizard, an extremely arrogant, manipulating and self-centered old geezer, rules with an iron-fist.(1) The Tower Heart was last seen there by the Village of Spree which is standing in the center of the Mellow Hills, the halfling village is further east and is called Underbelly Hills in honor of their hero Melvin Underbelly. He's the biggest and fattest halfling to ever exist since he started to act like the sin of gluttony. He's seriously ugly, ugh!- The voice of Shiva shuddered at the mention of the halfling hero, it was simple to realize that the hero wasn't a pretty sight.
"Sounds like I will have my hands full in restoring this place." Enigma said with a chuckle as he walked up the staircase and walkes towards the Fountain Portal. "I better take along some soldiers, it is better to be in large numbers, less chances to be taken by surprise and getting that way." With that he summoned a group of twenty-five soldiers and prepared to enter the portal.
-Very good Lord Enigma. But just so you know so are you transported back to the tower if you or one of your minions are mortally wounded, the only way for one of you to permanently die is if you either get your soul sucked out or if I am destroyed.- Enigma nodded at the information and thanked Shiva, and made sure to place two soldiers as guards in case of uninvited guests arrived, before he leaped into the water of the portal along with his soldiers, and with a rush of blue light were all of them teleported away from the tower.

(I hope it was good enough to past the 'I can read this without insulting the author' test.I am terribly sorry for not updating any of my stories in such a long time but I've had short storeage of inspiration the last couple of years.If anybody wish to so can they send me a pm and ask to continue one of my stories, I am still slow at updating them so I might as well let soembody else make their own versions.
Anyway, I got the idea for female minions from Madhat's fic where Shinji is an overlord and sleeps with all the Rei minions, one original Rei and one original Asuka, hehehe it was very inspiring. (grins)
Minions.
Soldiers: Basic fighters who can use all kinds of weapons but their true strength is in teamwork and when they are in large numbers.
1: If you can find out which character the soldier minions look like then you receive a cookie, and a chance to influence my story's plot by recieving two votes for the poll on any future chapters. I will give you two hints.One She's from an anime.Two She fights with a greatsword.
2: Yes both Arthas the Wizard and the Frozen Throne tower comes from Warcraft III, but here Arthas is a bearded old geezer and the Frozen Throne looks more like the Tower of Babylon the a large ice spike.
Poll for this chapter.
