Yggdrasil in Overlord is a Japanese DMMO-RPG launched in 2126, prized for its freedom and deep customization, whose shutdown in 2138 sets the entire series in motion.

Every event in Overlord traces back to a video game. Yggdrasil is a DMMO-RPG, a Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game, released in Japan in 2126 and built around exploration and player freedom: the game explains its controls and little else, leaving its mysteries for players to uncover alone or in groups.

Its customization sets it apart. Players choose among many races and jobs, reshape gear and appearances with separately sold creator tools, form guilds of up to one hundred members, and raid dungeons scattered across its Nine Realms. Played through an exclusive console, it renders a full virtual reality without taste or smell and with limited touch. After twelve years the community thins out, and in 2138 the developers announce the end; the remaining players face its final day online together.
