It's most likely an expansion of the Twitter side story Maru released.
EDIT: The moonrunes pointing to Ainz read "Formerly Unlucky Salaryman, but one who goes on a love-love journey for two with a cute blonde girl." So I think it's pretty much confirmed that it's an expansion of the side story.
It begins. Update schedule is as usual, I dump whatever I have at GMT +8 2300h every day.

ReplyDeleteF5 cult unite!
DeleteAh shit, here we go again
DeleteSo... the side story got an expansion by the author himself? Those that means it has been canonized? Cool!
DeleteNot canonized tho, just being developed as a full sidestory for EE's shipper
Deleteomg. omg. evileye looks so cute this time
ReplyDeleteShe is a children... and don't is using nothing, just a normaly clothes.
Deletethat girl is Evileye are your sure that is Evileye ?
DeleteYes, she is Evileye. This is Evileye past altered by the arrival of Ainz.
Deletekind hard to believe that Evileye will love Ainz but not Momon, i'm mean she fall to Momon right ( sory to bad english)
DeleteIn this timeline there is not a Monon nor Ains, just Momonga.
DeleteIt is a "if" story: what would happen if Momonga was teleport alone and 200 year before.
I hope It worth the wait :)
ReplyDeleteSAUSAGE!!
ReplyDeleteESTO SE PUSO BUENO!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, guess Maruyama wasn't satisfied with just a tweet-sized "what-if" scenario.
ReplyDeleteGOOD
DeleteHere we go again!
ReplyDeleteThanks in advance.
Why "lost", not "ruined"?
ReplyDeletebecause all of the humans and their legacy are (very likely) got obliterated and lost in the ravages of time
Delete"ruined" suggest that there might be a chance for the sole "human" survivor to re-establish the country
but, as we know, no humans "survived" the apocalypse
Because they lost it and now they can't find it again.

ReplyDeleteWhere can we read the twitter side story? Did it get translated?

(there are two more comics like those)
Holy shit im late by 12 comments
ReplyDeleteWaitwaitwait, so it's not even a sort of prequel but just a completely disconnected fiction made by the author?? I mean, that was to be an actual story about Evileye's past, so wtf is Squirrel (google "momonga squirrel", no need to thank me) doing on the cover?
ReplyDeleteButt, if it's not purely about Evileye's pup days and describes her joining the Nazarick as well, then hey, I'm all sold.
But most importantly: NIGEL, YOU KNOW HOW MUCH WE LOVE YOU, RIGHT? YOU'LL TRANSLATE IT, RIGHT? PLEASESAYYESBLESSYOUWITHMONIESANDHOTCHICKS
What the fuck keeno how crazy she is too beatiful cute as fuck, now this is the real princess not that pscho dog master i dont understand whats wrong with my man maru sensei taste to say shes his waifu!

ReplyDeleteSo, is this really a spin-off ?
ReplyDeleteWe've been waiting a whole year, for a spin-off, what if story, that will be retconned sooner or later.
I feel conflicted.
Well, at least it'll be less retconned than Warhammer.
I hope it's not a spin-off; I prefer my spin-offs to come out AFTER the original story has already ended. I'd prefer if it was a prequel, but the author will do what he wants and we will still gobble it up because we love this story.
ReplyDeleteIt's confirmed then
ReplyDelete> an expansion of the twitter side story of Ainz's solo adventure
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHoley shet my man sir nigel and al my fellow this really a romance stosy cute keno will cure the world it must did
ReplyDeleteSkythewood but sadly its banner namely ovl tama knsb has just been dmca ed
ReplyDeleteJust curious but any news on Overlord volume 14?
ReplyDeleteOh, I thought it was going to be about her past. So it's a filler side-story right?
ReplyDeleteProbably everything is canon except ainz part. Like that was how she became a vampire and why she doesn't want to tell anyone why she Evileye (aka landfall) destroyed a country (guessing the country she "destroyed" was hers).
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHey Nigel, please upload character sheet & illustrations in next update, Thank you
ReplyDeleteGive me back my waiting time! T_T
ReplyDeleteInstead of continuation of main story, we get some unrelated story. This is also happen with To Aru Kagaku no Railgun which story derailed by homo-love ism of the Author to one of Antagonist turn good character, Accelerator.
I hope this unrelated book didn't delay vol 14 release. Last translated chapter of novel vol 13 released on May 2018. And if we have to wait one more year to read vol 14, may be I'm already in death door at the release.
"To aru" series revolve around Accelerator and Last Order, the rest is just some side stories :D
DeleteBut yea, even if I love Overlord I kinda hate Maruyama now. Not only did he postpone vol. 14 indefinitely by writing some spinoff (let's be frank, it's not "possibly" but "surely" delayed because of that), said spinoff was also delayed by a month. It better be good.
You do realize that railgun is a spin-off of index right? While not unrelated it is still a spin-off.
DeleteI agree with SupermanOnFire.
ReplyDeleteWe already waiting a long long time. At least release Vol 14 first before release this unrelated side story
and the 1st chapter is not even a quarter as interesting as any chapter of main story.
DeleteI give this one another chapter; if its not even close (in term of piqued my interest) to cyclops girls side story (which also another player encounter hydra), then I'm gonna skip this one and resume waiting for volume 14.
Just what kind of demon entice Maruyama to do this to us, I wonder?
I think when the day Overlord finally completed. Then I will be an old grandpa with all white hairs by then.
DeleteThanks for the news Nigel. Thank you for translating this next book and I hope your translation goes smoothly!
ReplyDeleteAdditionally, I am worried at the author's decision at releasing an expanded noncanon story... You would think one prefers to finish it off the series as a whole before releasing "what if's" in published form. But hey, Maru is the author, he do what he wants and we love what he writes. Just hope he had thought this through, stay healthy and live long to write a wholesome series. Best of wishes!
I hope your translator going smooth and tbank you!
ReplyDeletei frankly dont mind the alternate reality so long as its not boring. without a guild he can act normal and travel around unlike before.
ReplyDeleteKind of dissappointed. I really thought this is gonna be canon.
ReplyDeleteEverything is canon.
DeleteProbably everything is canon except ainz part. Like that was how she became a vampire and why she doesn't want to tell anyone why she Evileye (aka landfall) destroyed a country (guessing the country she "destroyed" was hers).
DeleteI actually cant wait for this
ReplyDeleteMaruyama is so cruel!
ReplyDeleteWhy? Cuz we will get a happy ending in this side story with ainz being close friends with keeno.
And in canon, keeno will die either by ainz own hands or by his order.
this is Vol 4 and Vol 7 all over again
Delete(LOL)
Sasuga Nigel-sama
ReplyDeleteThanks for update nigel
ReplyDeletedamn, what a place to hang a cliffhanger!
ReplyDeleteSausage, Nigel-sama!
so, Momonga brings the guild weapon (Staff) with him this time around
ReplyDelete> however, he flies off far away from the vicinity of Nazarick
>> interesting...
wonder if that means he can reconstruct nazarick like a pokeball

DeleteOh may god oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my god!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI know right!
Deletethat is exactly what Neia would do if she lives on 2019 and waiting on the next Overlord contents
Deletemuch like us
We all love you. Sasuga Nigel-sama.
ReplyDeleteSo does it include the part that was previously released on twitter? Or it's something like continuation of that story?
ReplyDeletethe prologue chapter IMO is the improvement of the previous "side-story post" on Twitter
DeleteF5 every single day
ReplyDeletethe only thing we could rape to our hearts content without any love rubbers
DeleteJust 4 hours to go before we could get the new revelation from the churh
ReplyDeleteBless Nigel sama. Nigel strikes again.
ReplyDeletesecond... arigato nigel-sempai
ReplyDelete"This is illegal! It’s illegal confinement! Let me out of here!"
ReplyDeleteLOOOL
WTF? The second part of the prolog is a chunk of the first part, but written different.
ReplyDeleteNo....
DeleteI know is sad, but yes.
DeleteNo... It clearly isn't...
DeleteI think you might've gone through the wrong link or something...
This comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteHum Wtf, how come I have already read everything you posted?
ReplyDeleteI mean a few days ago you already posted this no?
What is actually happening? xD
What he posted a couple of days ago is the original Twitter side story. The prologue of the novel is the rewritten version of that original sidestory, with changes such as Ainz bringing his staff this time.
DeleteYou sir are a good man (Got reference) !
Deletemore more more more more more more more i need moreeeee
ReplyDeleteps: thanks for this translation.
As much as we all want vol. 14 to be published as soon as possible, at least we have this from Maruyama and TLed by Nigel-sama to help us wait for the next volume in the canon series.
ReplyDeleteSo thank you, Nigel, for TLing this for us!
(By the way, is there anyone else besides this senile old pervert who is going to irrationally and illogically blame Nigel for the lateness of Kugane-san's release of volume 14? ~Ducks to avoid the rocks thrown at Ol' Pervy by Nigel in a fit of righteous indignation.~)
"YURINIGGERS"
ReplyDeleteLOLOLOL
"...yuriniggers would view Momonga as one of them and thus not initiate attacks against him..."
Delete> this is killing me (lol)
sasuga-sama is a god damn Blood
DeleteThose damn yuriniggers .
ReplyDeleteoh!
ReplyDelete> the prologue is ending
>> can't wait for the next update (Le Chapter 1)
I just realize the prologue the same as the twitter side story.
ReplyDeletenot really identical
Delete> this prologue is basically Maru-sensei fleshing out the twitter side story much more
next-su~
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world is a "yurinigger"
ReplyDeleteIdk maybe non decaying zombies.
DeleteStill the name is funny asf
Well I knew he was making this side story but it basically confirms that hes a bit burned out of writing Overlord, the main story that is.
ReplyDeleteI can obviously be wrong about this but whenever someone starts going off on "what-if" stories its because either you're a bit bored/limited in the main plot/s you're trying to write or because you've come to a logical conclusion that you don't really agree with about a certain character or event.
In any case, looking forward to reading this side story and for Vol 14 whenever it comes.
Not nescessarily. Maruyama did promise that he'll continue the twitter side story if Overlord could get a 3rd season. Something he probably was not expecting to happen at the time he said that, but he kept his word still.
DeleteSasuga Nigger-sama
ReplyDeleteJust by looking at your fingers and their length, I can say you Nigel are a skinny and tall man!
ReplyDeleteAre you? Please say you are that way I can quit my job and become the new Sherlock Holmes.
Should have called them lolifags that would have been more thematically appropriate.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, the what now?
ReplyDelete"yuriniggers"
DeleteHaha I was so confused I actually typed in yuriniggers to see if it was some obscure name of undead
Deleteturns out to be one of redditor species
Deletebelow is a link to give you a brief about a yurinigger

ReplyDeletejust wanna ask, this one isn't vol 14 right ?
Deleteyes sir
DeleteNo! it is not Vol 14, good sir
DeleteWould someone update Wikia on Evil Eyes talent? Or maybe update about Wild Magic?
ReplyDeleteApparently the mechanic of Wild Magic will explained here, and according to someone it said that turn out it wasn't a threat at all for Ainz and Guardian.
What more interesting is Evil Eye Talent, I got spoiler on this and it was very OP, the only thing dragging it down is Evil Eye level.
anyone have illustration of this light novel ?
ReplyDeleteJust waiting
ReplyDeleteI thought undead cannot grow their hair (without magic)
ReplyDeleteLOL
Isn't her hair length remain the same?

Delete"Suzuki Satoru could not help but widen his eyes -- though in this body, it would seem fires had ignited in his eyesockets."
ReplyDelete> one of the most asked question in FAQ has just been answered
But that has been answered long ago...
Deleterly?
DeleteThe ch1 p1 it sound like someone using them as sacrifice to use wild magic.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI think so
DeleteI doubt it,tt may have been Wild magic but if they could just kill everyone by using them as sacrifices they wouldn't need to cast a spell.
Deletethat or ritual of undead turning, just like what Khajit was about to do
Delete#wwwwwwww the one who cast the wild magic may need the soul of all the country citizen to cast a powerful magic and not specifically to kill them in .
DeleteHmm, Everyone dead and became all zombie-like then Momonagas' appearance. Maybe the two are linked or just coincidence?
ReplyDelete*Momonga*
DeleteMomonggers
DeleteProbably not. Considering that he just spawned and the ruined city looks as if it has been destroyed for quite some time now.
DeleteDaily update, daily thank you. Though I wouldn't mind if you dial down the edginess of 4chan. <3
ReplyDeleteBlasphemy!
Deletearigatou ~su....
ReplyDeletebeen a long time since I heard Lupu-san's voice su~
DeleteIs this part of the main storyline
ReplyDeleteno, it is not a canon Volume
Delete> but several trivia might be canonized
I want Annie "ARA~" Fasrith Inberun's artwork
ReplyDelete(ღ˘⌣˘ღ)
All I got from this series is that.
ReplyDeleteSuzuki Satoru (Ainz's true self) is a lolicon, which make it hard for Albedo to win his heart.
Lolifag.
DeleteNo, he also liked women with big racks too in Volume 1.
DeleteHe's a man of many tastes. Mere "Lolicon" is an undeserving word for describing him.
LOLIMANCER!
ReplyDeleteE.. Eeeeh! How come it became like this~ not only did they stole her chance to have younger siblings but she cant reproduce a child nor develop her body! This heretic whose responsible for all the miseries shall be punished severely as according to the Book of Judgement for their blasphemous act. May Mother Marsha above hear our prays and give upon her the happiness and bright future that she deserve!
ReplyDeleteIn this side story apparently she did obtain happiness, marrying Satoru or at least it is how it goes based on illustrations in the afterward.
DeleteUnfortunately in main timeline she ruined any chance of happiness by almost killing Entoma, Ainz probably forgot about it by now, but Entoma still most likely out for revenge.
Could it be that both Satorus from different timelines of our world came to the same timeline of this world? If Evileye meets Ainz, she will recognize him and call him Suzuki Satoru, and Ainz will have to prevent Entoma from killing Evileye because of the need for information, and they will have a chance to live happily together. Maybe she likes Momon because he and his voice remind her Satoru.
DeleteFirst!!
ReplyDeleteCan you link the japanese version please if you have one
ReplyDelete3rd~
ReplyDeleteso this is non canon correct? I am skipping this one
ReplyDeletethe story - NON CANON
Deletethe facts - CANON
I have a question:
ReplyDeleteWhat's the correct name, Keeno, or Keno?
Both are correct. The katakana reads キーノ, which is most literally transliterated as Kiino. That spelling is a little weird, so a lot of people write it Keeno instead. キー sounds like a stretched out "key" sound, while ノ is just "no".
DeleteRip poor lich bro you only wanted to study.
ReplyDeletewhen you open the door and the reality crushes upon you
ReplyDeleteThis good dream feels like a nightmare. When I as one of the EE shippers feels like crying from happiness, the sudden reazilation that it only took that much for chapter 1 which has 30 pages to the end feels like a slap directly to my face. Does anyone else feels the same? Please feel free to share your feelings!
ReplyDeletearg hope its explained, all these loose thread makes me put on tin foil hat.
ReplyDeleteI miss papa bone paranoia.
ReplyDeletethank u nigel you are my hero
ReplyDeletefirst
ReplyDeleteThank you 💋
ReplyDeleteThanks nigel sama~
ReplyDeleteSasuga nigel-sama
ReplyDeleteholy shit 180kB :VVVV
ReplyDeleteto tell you the truth I'd be glad with 40kB but the tranlation team seemed to be on fire right now lol.
ReplyDeleteThis blond must be the great-great-grandfather of Jicniv (google translator pt-br_en-us)
ReplyDeleteSPOILER QUESTION!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat does it mean by 'Devour Soul' (spell used by Coffin Dragon Lord) being Mana inefficient?
I thought Wild Magic use Soul of Sacrifice or the user own soul instead of MP, was Dragon Lord exception?
Was Dragon Lord able to use MP as a price for using Wild Magic which also why they pay less than normal people?
Or maybe this is just miss-translation? Maybe it simply said cost inefficient instead of Mana inefficient.
Another question.
If Evil constantly used Wild Magic does this mean, she is immune to World Item?
Guess Ainz would have a reason to let her live instead of giving her to Entoma.
Blond dude with a ..Horn? Wtf!
ReplyDeleteCould be a Player or a Guild NPC! This is hundreds of years before canon, since Evil Eye(Keeno) was Landfall the Demon God 300 years before canon and one of the companions of the Thirteen Heroes 200 years before canon. I think this is probably over 200 years ago, which means the Demon Gods are still around, and I'm pretty sure those were Players or at least Guild NPCs.
DeleteI am being rather pessimistic with the idea of ainz and keeno meeting a player or npc. Probably because the fact that Ainz in the main storyline keep delusioning about how a player might've mind controlled shalltear. Chances are, we may or may not see another player in this side storyline other than Momonga. But, let's wait and see...
Deletedamn this side story is more emotional than the main series
ReplyDeleteIf you give more focus to the side characters in the main series you can also get the same emotional level but yeah there were so many jokes there compared to here
DeleteI curious about chapter 4 the beyonders. Is Overlord having crossover with Marvel universe?
ReplyDelete"[Triplet Maximize Magic Reality Slash]intensifies"
ReplyDeleteIt's short part this time but so much thanks 💋
ReplyDeletePart 2 of Ch2 was dropping some morbid bombs, wow.
ReplyDeleteSatoru was used to dead orphan children in the street and working alongside literal children who only graduated elementary school (much like himself and probably double to triple their age).
On top of that, they found what seems to have been a creepy female human slavery holding pen...or at least, hopefully it was just a women's prison...?
did kunivela survive by teleporting?
ReplyDeletei thought ainz killed him with reality slash
Pretty sure that was a different Lich than the one that Ainz killed.
Deleteoh i see
Deletenot really good at english so sometimes i get confused
so when will they release the continuation for the main story?
ReplyDeleteYes brother. Just not yet. Most likely in 2020 or 2021 at the very least.
Deletechristmas day is volume 14
DeleteWhat aieee said. Maruyama hasn't been working on Volume 14 since he's been busy with the side story, so expect a wait of up to a year.
DeleteSankyu!
ReplyDeleteChapter 3 p2 is so short not enough bone daddy
ReplyDeleteare Number one and number two ainz and keno?
ReplyDeleteNo, of course not!
DeleteIt's C3PO and R2D2
Thanks dsrling💋
ReplyDeletenigel isnt a part of the chapter 3 missing? did they not translate it or perhaps u made a mistake?
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
DeleteI noticed it, too.
DeleteIt feels like something is missing between Chapter 3 P1 / P2
Scenes Ol' Pervy would like to see:
ReplyDelete-------{NAMES OF IMPORTANT CHARACTERS ARE INDEED IMPORTANT]-------
There was nothing he could show the undead being before him that could change his mind.
“Now then, let’s put an end to this.”
Number One then held out his hand towards Kunivela and called out, "[Grasp Hear--} Oops! Wrong spell for an undead. Sorry about that, Kuni-boy! It's been a long day. Let's try this, [Triple Maximize Magic: Lightning Fireball]"
And Kunivela felt a nanosecond of extreme pain that felt like it lasted for hours before his body collapsed into a pile of nasty looking ashes that dispersed into nothingness due to the wind brought on by Number Two's sudden, unexpected flatulence.
nuu i want to taste the sweet nectar of him owning the liches.. he raised his bony hand and lightning began to crackle at his fingertip the room flickered with an ominous light. kunivela did not know what tier spell this lightning was but he knew his undeath life was over. he wanted to flee but the domination spell held him shackled. seconds turn to endless torment, he saw number 2 approach to his left, she was holding something...something, both her hands parted while holding this object...."no it cant be"... the room fell silent and the supreme being spoke. "now, get in the sack"
DeleteSo this is gonna be the peace offering for the eve+Ainz shippers. Since Evileye will probably die for what she did to Entoma. Hopefully she apologizes and Entoma forgives her and she gets to be spared.
ReplyDeleteThanks for update nigel-sama
ReplyDeleteyes finaly update i wait this
ReplyDeleteSasuga nigel sama ~~ thanks
ReplyDeleteAh, Momonga. He was nice with a strange loli vampire but not with a strange male lich. Keeno was lucky to be cute. She would have been enslaved and killed at once otherwise.
ReplyDeletedid we really miss some text between p1-p2 of 3chapter?
ReplyDeletethank you very much nigel sama.
ReplyDeleteim really looking forward for volume 14
im just wondering how could momonga DEACTIVATE a passive skill
never heard that kind of thing is possible in any game.
in most of games, you cant even touch or click your passive because its fixed, constant and immovable once learned.
well its 2138 in their time, maybe lots of game system functions have changed and also they are in virtual reality, or simulation of reality.
well just my thoughts wandering
if passive skill can be activated and de-activate, then it's not passive anymore, maybe it's just a buff skill or maybe his gears passive effects.
i love you nigel, no homo
