My Reign
Almost a year has passed since my arrival in the new world. As an atheist, I didn't expect to reincarnate, much less in an anime, but that's how things are. I couldn't remember the last time I went to church, but I ended up reincarnated in one of my favorite isekais.
That's right, I was in the world of Overlord. I was a huge fan of that anime, to the point where I memorized several of Ainz's dialogues and his chronology in the new world. Today, I thank God for that because it has allowed me to adapt and get to where I am now.
Currently, I had just saved the dwarves from the events of volume 11.
"Ainz-sama, you looked fabulous killing that arrogant dragon, so sexy," sighed Shalltear with adoring eyes.
"Ahem, thank you, Shalltear," I said. In this timeline, I decided to kill her just like in the canon to earn (even more) respect from the guardians.
But I chose to follow the anime's route for two reasons: to help Shalltear grow and to see if I could defeat her with my knowledge of the anime.
The answer was satisfying; I was able to defeat her.
This made Shalltear lose all self-esteem and seek my approval, making her more cautious, just like in the canon.
"You also did a good job," I said, patting the loli, to Aura's envy.
"Ah, Ainz-sama, I..." Shalltear looked at me with a perverted smile.
"Ahem, let's continue."
We continued with Hejinmal, Aura, Gondo, Shalltear, and I heading towards our destination. The current home of the dwarves. "Ainz-sama, I have a question. Why did you spare so many Quagoa?" Aura asked me in a childish yet cute tone.
"Hmm, at first I thought about killing them until only 4,000 males, 4,000 females, and 2,000 children remained, but in the end, I decided to kill only half of them," I said, to the fear of the frost dragon and the dwarf. Aura didn't want to ask more, but Gondo, despite his fear, managed to ask me the question.
"If you allow me, Your Majesty, why did you spare them?"
After dodging the question, Gondo insisted. It made sense; as a dwarf, he was a staunch enemy of the Quagoa.
"I will relocate them far from these mountains. Their mining skills are useful for the development of my country, and the survivors will be annexed."
I continued, "I will leave them in the Abelion Hills, next to the Slane Theocracy. Let's say I will make the mountains belong to the Quagoa, displacing the other races that inhabit the caves if they don't cooperate. Their mission will be to obtain minerals such as lithium, copper, nickel, zinc, graphite, cobalt, etc., and then I will have my new runic blacksmiths experiment with those metals to create inventions," I looked at Gondo, "in short, they will be extractors and discoverers of raw materials for us. Does that satisfy your curiosity?"
"Y-yes," I observed the nervous dwarf speaking.
"Rejoice, as a representative of the dwarves, you are part of the Sorcerer Kingdom. Inform me if you have any problems with how I manage the dwarves. As an undead, there might be things I forget," I said to ease the tension.
"Thank you, Your Highness. I will inform you in that case."
"I'm glad," I replied simply. "Now that your doubts have been answered, we need to go to the dwarf capital to meet with the dwarf chiefs. Shalltear, prepare a portal for the Quagoa."
We went to the dwarf capital and received grateful looks from the leaders, except for one who was missing. It was the chief artisan who had fled with the iron ingot, just as happened in the light novel.
Otherwise, everything went smoothly. They apologized for the stolen ingot and thanked me for reclaiming the dwarf capital.
After completing the mission, I went to Nazarick, received by several NPCs. I ordered them to continue their work, and I would go to my quarters to rest.
Smooth sailing, just like in the canon.
What's next?
Almost a year had passed, and I had barely changed the story except for sparing some characters. Everything happened as in the original story: saving Carne Village, Momon, rescuing Nferia, Jaldabaoth's attack on the Re-Estize capital, the conquest of E-Rantel, my visit to the Baharuth Empire, and now, my help to the dwarves.
All these important events occurred just like in the anime.
But there was something, a point where my conscience, even if I was undead, told me to stop.
And those are volumes 12 to 14.
The extermination of the Roble Holy Kingdom and then the genocide of Re-Estize were entertaining to read, but now that I am responsible, in my opinion, it's too much—too much senseless death. As Zanack said, there must be other ways for someone with my power. Although, it was concerning. I understood Ainz; he only cared about Nazarick, and his undead senses dulled any other feelings. That's happening to me now.
I suspect that my undead state increases my intelligence but consumes my emotions. What should I do? Should I wish to be human? NO, a human wouldn't fit in Nazarick, but a demon would.
Decided, I grabbed a pencil and a pen and drew the form I had planned in my head. I practiced drawing for years, so I did the task with relative ease, drawing all angles of my character.

Then I released 'Wish upon a star' from my inventory and made my wish.
"I wish for a skin change; I want this form as my new body."
And then I began to shine, hearing a voice in the background.
"Wish granted."
The illumination ceased, and I looked at myself in the mirror.
Just as my drawing specified.
I touched my new face, testing the new sensations: eyebrows, nose, lips, etc.
Until there was a noise of someone knocking on the door.
"My beloved Ainz-sama, it's me," said a sensual voice.
