Essence of theOverlord

By consuming the blood red (which might be actual blood, you’re not quite sure) Essence, you are granted several boons:

• You gain access to your own Pocket Netherworld, filled with quirky, non-threatening demons who seem to think that you’re the boss of the place if their groveling is any indication.

• You receive a Demonic Human body, the design of which is up to you, which ages very slowly and has unlimited growth potential.

• You gain access to the overpriced services of the Rosenqueen Corporation, who will be willing to sell you items and gear you can’t get anywhere else for an obvious mark-up. Still, (most of) their gear is actually of very high quality and shouldn’t be ignored. On top of that, they also sell various items from other, thought to be fictional universes, completely in defiance of copyright law.

• You gain access to the Evility (Evil Ability) Shop, where you can purchase, equip and manage various common Evilities. On top of that, just by virtue of being an overlord, you gain access to your own unique Evility, the specifics of which are up to you.

• You gain access to the Item World Guide, who allows you to transport yourself inside of a given item and beat up the physical manifestations of its imperfections, thereby making it better. There are also a variety of other ways of strengthening an item, so feel free to go wild!

• You gain access to the Character World Guide, who allows you to transport yourself inside of another character (or vice-versa) to improve their body and attributes in a wide variety of ways by playing a Mario Party-style board game.

• You gain access to the Dark Assembly, where a variety of reality altering bills can be passed if you get the various Senators approval (By force if necessary). Want to make every woman in your Pocket Netherworld wear sexy miniskirts? Go right ahead!

• You gain access to the Cheat Shop, where a variety of reality altering ‘Cheat Codes’ can be input by using ‘Cheat Points’, which you gain by performing outrageous feats.

• You gain access to the Quest Shop, where various Side Quests that give out rewards of all types, even new minions, can be undertaken.

• You gain access to the Reincarnation Service, which can be used to reset your level back to 1 by Reincarnating, but with vastly improved growth rates. You can also decide how your body looks upon each Reincarnation, even being able to reverse your age. There’s also a ‘Super’ Reincarnation out there, but you do not have access to this skill by default.

• You gain access to the entire Nippon-Ichi Multiverse, along with the universes of various linked franchises, where you can meet various characters and convince them to join you on your journeys.
