Incarnation of Justice & Embodiment of Evil
[Disclaimer - Read this first]:
This fanfiction mainly follows another lord genre novel which I liked, and thought that it will better suit with the Overlord style. Anyway, if you don't like that type of novel, then you can kindly proceed towards the exit.
If you feel like you've read this plot already, then also you can stay if you want to read with overlord twist. Otherwise, I'm sorry to disappoint you.

…
[Please select the racial class of the Evil Karma that you want to merge.]
[Hint: The correct choice will let you inherit the respective roles. So, please choose carefully.]
Asher appeared in the center of a hall and before he could know the surrounding, this series of information appeared before his eyes.
Looking at the illusory but not-so-fake screen, he felt a little unbelievable.
"I crossed over?! And, it's not just me but millions of people."
"According to the guidelines, we involuntarily participated in a game of 'Good' and 'Evil. And, I was matched as a growing 'Embodiment of Evil'?"
With an unbelievable expression, Asher looked before his eyes, only to see countless black balls exuding a faint illusory aura, hovering in the mid-air.
All the balls represented a certain racial class that the participants could fuse with, and if they are lucky enough, they can also inherit a certain great power's forces.
This choice is a crucial choice for a player's future destination and path.
But… all the black balls exuding evil like aura looks exactly the same as other, and there is no difference in appearance.
Just when Asher was thinking hard as to bet on his luck or think over it carefully, his vision changed strangely and a pale golden message box appeared next to the ball.
…
[Gnator (Crystal)]: Gnators are a race of small heteromorphic beings from the New World. It's less than 20 centimeters long and has translucent wings that resembled those of fairies falling into an Insect Race.
Inheritance: Contains the Inheritance of Crystal, the Fifth Seat – No Subordinates
Analysis: Weak – Not Recommended!
…
[Zern (Beebeebee)]: Zerns are slimy species with the racial weakness of being affected by race-specified spells.
Inheritance: Contains the Inheritance of Beebeebee, an emissary of the Zern Tribes - No Qualified Subordinates
Analysis: Weak – Not Recommended!
…
"What's this?"
Asher was stunned to see this extra piece of information in every floating black sphere, and after a little thinking, he found out that he could see the hidden information about these classes.
He didn't delve much into useless thinking and continued to glance at the hidden information.
…
[Garicus (None)]: Garicus is an unintelligent omnivorous creature…
[Myconid (Sous-chef)]: Myconid is a race of humanoid mushrooms…
…
Although there are thousands of racial classes floating around, but almost all of them are some strange creatures whose name alone sounds low-level without any inheritance.
Inheritance is an important thing because if one can get an inheritance, they can inherit their powers and subordinates one by one in the future.
Soon, Asher screened off thousands of giant spheres, and he could see many good prospects, but he wasn't in hurry and was looking for higher-level ones.
In these, he also discovered that an Evil force called the 'Great Tomb of Nazarick' dominated most of the places. Like:
…
[Dullahan (Yuri Alpha)]: Dullahans are a race of undead with a headless corpse that carries its decapitated head.
Inheritance: Contains the Inheritance of Yuri Alpha, Battle Maid of the Great Tomb of Nazarick – Subordinates: Pleiades, Maid, and Low-level Undead soldiers
Analysis: Weak in Early stage and doesn't have high Evil Karma – Mildly Recommended!
…
Even looking at the description of the inheritance, Asher can feel that it is a good Racial class, and by observing more information through his power, he can see that she is just a maid.
So, he wants to find out an inheritance that can be on the level of the leader of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.
Asher strode forward crazily analyzing every piece of information about the races and soon he saw an inconspicuous black sphere in the corner.
…
[Overlord (Ainz Ooal Gown)]: A rare high-tier heteromorphic race that has evolved to its final form. At the full level, an overlord can become a powerful undead magic caster that can cast ultimate magic.
Inheritance: Contains the Inheritance of Ainz Ooal Gown, Overlord of the Great Tomb of Nazarick – Subordinates: Tens of Floor/Area Guardians, Pleiades, and Most of the Loyal Subordinates of Nazarick
Analysis: Skills will be available according to the level, but can evolve fast with the inheritance – Highly Recommended
…
"Finally, found it!"
Without any hesitation, Asher made this choice.
Why? Didn't you see the number of subordinates that he can get in the future and it can also cast Ultimate magic in the final form?
The black sphere released strong dark energy, shrouding Asher's whole body in beams, as his body was constantly changing into a skeleton with a wide body.
His muscles melted down, devoiding him of any skin or flesh, and instead of his clothes, an elaborate, jet-black academic gown adorned with golden and violet edges appeared on his body.
Fortunately, he was covered with clothes, otherwise, he would just look like a skeleton.
Feeling the sudden change in his body, Asher was stunned and his feelings suddenly sank down.
Although he knew from the description that he would transform into a skeleton, he was still depressed. After all, who would want an undead body?
But… here his life and death are at stake, and feeling the sudden increase in strength, he calmed his emotions, and to be precise, his depressed emotions weren't able to be on his mind for long.
[Player has completed the transformation.]
[Since the player has chosen a lord character, the related subordinate inheritance will be removed from the other player's option.]
[Logging into New World officially!]
Next second, without giving him a chance to react he was teleported to a barren place.
At this time, a huge figure full of appearance appeared above the altar. Although the figure was originally only 177 cm tall, it felt like the figure was as tall as a mountain full of dominance, and the large protruded shoulders were giving a sense of oppression
The figure was lying on the top of the altar, wearing a jet-black academic gown with red flames burning inside his empty eye sockets.
The strong coercion on his body was full of black smoke and even the sight of its presence had caused the nearby birds to flee.
"This is my base, which I've to evolve into the real Great Tomb of Nazarick?"
"Now, it's really like an ordinary cemetery."
After his arrival in this place, Asher also got to know about his surrounding.
This place is a dark border valley in the depths of the chaotic forest surrounded by the three great nations and a faraway sea.
The forest resources are extremely rich, but the terrain is extremely complex and there are various ethnic groups.
Due to its complex geography, it's difficult for the three great nations to penetrate and the land is still unexplored to the fullest.
…
[A/N: Can you guess the place? Hint: I don't think it's explored in the Original Novel too. And it's really surrounded by three nations.]
