《Defeat the Overlord》Past and Present

"Welcome to the World of Ebeisia"
Ethan's heart skipped a beat. His suspicion proved correct. This game is related to Ebeisia.
Even though he was an assassin and was trained to remain calm in any situation. But right now, his heart was pounding like a drum, and an unknown feeling of excitement welled up inside him.
A piece of soul-stirring music entered his ears, unexpectedly calming his heart; he closed his eyes, and his past flashed in his mind.
An orphaned boy struggling to make it in that world. He begged, stole, and deceived, killed, in order to survive in the world.
One day, he unexpectedly kicked an iron wall, when he met a man who almost killed him.
But the same man took him and introduced him to a new world.
A world he was completely unaware of. A world that changed his entire perception of life.
The more he learned, the more he realized he was nothing more than an ant in that world.
But his survival in this world was different from his previous survival, where he was powerless. He realized he has the ability to change his life.
Because of his past, the man who took him in recognized his abilities and sent him to train as an assassin.
But life was not so simple, he was beaten to the point that he could hardly stand on his feet. But he still gritted his teeth and made his way to become one of the most famed assassins in Ebeisia.
It was during this time that he became one of the chosen ones for the Goddess of Nefetera, one of the seven gods in Ebeisia.
He didn't know what is the Purpose of the Chosen one.
But now he realized that he had been chosen by the goddess to change history, to change Ebeisia's fate. The doom brought to Ebeisia by the Overlord.

It could be a game for the people of this world. However, this game has a different meaning for him.
While he was lost in his thoughts, the Ethereal voice of the female jolted him out of his reverie.
[What will happen if you discover that the future of your world is shrouded in darkness? Would you fight or cower in a dark corner to await the impending doom?]
[The fulfilling world of Ebeisia faces a similar fate. A future with nothing but darkness and destruction.]
[The World of Ebeisia requires your help. The World of Ebeisia requires your valor to defeat the Overlord.]
[Explore the world of swords and magic. Discover yourself in the world you've always dreamed of. Discover Ebeisia, the world full of mysteries.]
As soon as the voice ceased, the entire space was filled with white light, and Ethan was surprised to see a familiar figure standing in front of him. The figure was slightly overweight, with disheveled hair, dressed in a khaki-colored ragged jacket and brown pants, and its eyes were closed.
His brow furrowed because the figure was a carbon copy of his own body.
But suddenly, a pop-up panel appeared in front of him.
[Overlord is reviving. Its forces are slowly slaughtering the villages of the world of Ebeisia. Choose your race to fight against the forces of the Overlord.
And again, a different pop panel appeared in front of him.
[Race]
With the option of Humans, Elven, dwarf, and many more.
He immediately chose Human.
Another Pop-Up Panel Appeared in front of him
[Characterize your Avatar]
With many options, such as hair color, skin tone, face, lips, brows, and many more in it.
Ethan found it intriguing and changed his avatar to look like a younger version of himself from his previous life in Ebeisia.

The character now appeared to be a tall, healthy young man with slightly tanned skin, dark black long hair to his shoulders, a square face with a firm jaw, and big clear eyes.
After confirming that the avatar was to his liking, he confirmed it, and another pop-up panel appeared in front of him.
[Character Name]
Without blinking his eyes, he typed the name
[Slade]
As soon as he confirmed the name, another Pop-up Panel with a message appeared in front of him.
[Pain Reception- 10%]
Default set the Pain reception to 10%. To make it more realistic, the game allows you to increase the Pain Reception to 100%.
Ethan's lips curled into a smile and he immediately set the Perception to 100%
Immediately after that, another Pop-Up Message appeared in front of him.
[Since you own a High-End Pod. Arcanum Solutions is offering a special package of Game currency worth 1000 Gold Coins].
He confirmed the message and immediately another pop-up panel appeared in front of him
[Please accept the Terms and Conditions]
And various terms and conditions appeared in front of him. Such as, the player should not deliberately harm the NPC, otherwise the player's account will be dismissed.
There are various conditions mentioned in which players should not harm or kill the NPCs in the game.
He quickly glanced at the Terms and conditions and immediately accepted them.
And as soon as he accepted the terms, darkness engulfed him for a moment before he found himself in the middle of a bustling village.
Instead of confusion, a hint of nostalgia struck him, and his body quivered as he looked around to see the street full of people with confused and amused expressions on their faces.
The side of the street was lined with shops and stalls, as well as people rushing to get to the shops.
Not many people noticed, but he did as he saw some excitable looks on the faces of the native people as they saw the crowd standing in the middle of the street.
He took a deep breath as a familiar scent entered his nose. He couldn't help but recall the scene before he died.
He shook his head and looked up to see a clear blue sky.
After the followers of Overlord attacked Ebeisia, these villages were destroyed and uprooted and many innocents became the victim of slaughter and the whole sky was covered in darkness.
However, many of these natives currently have happy and joyous expressions on their faces, but that expression is also filled with expectation. The expectation that someone will save their world.

P.S #2: I am sure you noticed that the Cover Art is not mine. I simply chose from my collection of favorite Concept Arts. If whoever designed this art sees this, I thank you very much.

Dip$h!+s in Space
An eccentric comedy novel (that thinks it's a TV show) about space, and the Dipsh!+s that end up stranded in it. This hyper-self-aware comedy of stupid proportions, centers around Captain William T Lawg (no relation) and his adventures as a guy who managed to afford a refitted soft-top ice-cream truck, in space. Explore the universe with his trusty crew of valiant randos. Marley, the tech-bro, stoner spacebunny, who just wants to get away from his home world and the bullies it harbors. Duffy, the plump and sassy female mechanic, who has had every job in existence totaling far more years than possible. Roy, the frigging fabulous, flamboyant android, and former spy…or possibly current spy. (dun dun, daaaa!) And lastly, but certainly leastly, that other chick the captain keeps trying to bang. Ride with the crew of the notorious Tast-E-Chill, to a world of wonder that a lot of other space travelers have already been before, but probably not Lawg, so it's still exciting. This satirical joke on itself and every sci-fi trope ever to exist, will be sure to either thrill you or disappoint you, because COMEDY…IS…SUBJECTIVE! With a crew of 3-10 and an IQ of also probably 3-10, The captain putters along to uncharted lands, where history, loot, drama, innuendos of the sexual verity, and various Technicolor hoes shall surely be waiting, usually with some form of trap. Each season brings new and interesting crewmen, like: Menace: the adorable genderless frog-child-thing with the heart of gold and the dialogue vocabulary of a slightly trained parrot. Greg: the 8 foot tall, ancient, thermonuclear, semi-retired alien overlord who just wants to prove he still has a purpose…and also to rule the galaxy. Izzy: a 3rd generation, age-reversed reboot, accidental clone of her own mother/sister/older self, who happens to be Greg's daughter-in-law…and much, much more. Prepare yourself for shallow adventure, moderately-to high offensive dialogue, and overwhelmingly childish scenarios. Tag along as the crew battles, fierce enemies, lack of food and survival tape, and occasionally their own incompetence. Teen Romance, current politics, subtlety, dignity, this sucker has none of those, and it darn well knows it. Raise the sails and grab the rails as a bunch of dipsh!+s find themselves...IN SPACE. (Roll dramatic tapering credits, to royalty free trumpet music)

Luster
Growing up with her recently deceased mother’s addiction and her own struggles with gender identity, June Fujiwara was not a nice person. Gaining powers from nearly being murdered didn’t change that, and neither did becoming a mercenary to fund her transition. It took horrific manipulation, the resulting trauma, and the family that helped her through it all. Luster is a derivative work based on Worm by Wildbow (John C. McCrae) that begins prior to Worm and although it doesn't show straight away, the story is very AU.

Immutable
The world went to hell in a handbasket. Overnight, something called the Allworld downloaded itself into the universe and everything but the kitchen sink appeared to end the planet. Governments fell and chaos reigned. People were left to fend for themselves. Of course, that's not, like, a bad thing. Pollution is at an all time low which means no more global warming. And all that corrupt bureaucracy is gone now too. Which means all those evil people refusing to do something about our dying planet are gone. Plus, people got superpowers. Which is, you know, pretty sweet. Of course, they can't be normal superpowers, everything but the kitchen sink was thrown in after all. Caleb is immutable, unable to physically change in a world completely changed; Alex was granted a system that talks to her in cat puns, but also gives her power over all cats; Nathan met a god of impulse, who gave him powers because he felt like it; and June is given a power to make things lazy, something opposite to her personality. The four of them meet by chance while hunting monsters. They met by chance but must learn to work together when an empire from space lands on Earth with the intent to subjugate the surviving humans.
