In the year 2126, a Dive Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game or DMMORPG called Yggdrasil was released.

He invites the remaining guild members but of those only one appears and only for a short while before leaving.
While saddened by this, he accepts the reality that his friends had their real lives to take care of. And so, he stays in the guild alone until the servers shut down. Then, he realizes that the game does shut down and he cannot seem to use the normal player function, such as General Message, or even quit.

Taking on the name of Ainz Ooal Gown, a message to any other players, he begins exploring the world.
