A Glimpse into Overlord: The Sacred Kingdom

The plot of the film unravels an intriguing storyline. After a decade plus two years of gaming, Momonga, a diehard fan of his favored MMORPG, finds himself in the unique position of being in the game he loves indefinitely. As the narrative proceeds, his avatar gains the position of Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown.

Once a prosperous land, The Sacred Kingdom now stands on the verge of devastation. For years, an enormous wall safeguarded them from external invasions, ensuring lasting peace. Nevertheless, this tranquility shatters with the advent of the terrifying Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth and his malevolent demi-human army.

Fearing a similar fate, the adjacent region, the Slane Theocracy, finds itself seeking help from its erstwhile enemies, the Sorcerer Kingdom. Responding to the desperate call, Momonga, now the Sorcerer King Ains Ooal Gown, unites the Sorcerer Kingdom and its formidable undead army to fight alongside the Sacred Kingdom and the Slane Theocracy, aiming to triumph over the Demon Emperor.
