Essence of TheEvil Overlord

Writing this made me giggle.

Inspired by I’m the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire! Jumpchain.

By drinking this essence potion, you become an evil lord, you gain the following:

Diligence: You can't become a proper overlord by half-assing things.

While it could be said that corruption is a mark of an evil lord, it is also true that you cannot exploit a land that has become barren due to your negligence.

Focus, motivation and the general will to keep working hard to reach your goal come easy to you, letting you stay on the path of improving your land to later exploit and indulge in its luxuries.

The Strange Lord: Cultural exchanges have never been your forte, but in the reality that you are in, you find that is your own preconceptions.

Perhaps not being able to adapt to the excesses of the nobility will have others think of you as humble even when doing things that would be considered outrageously wasteful, or breaking a taboo in another nation will see people labeling you as brave and groundbreaking.

Regardless of what social norms you break, it seems that people come to admire you for it rather than ostracize you.

So long you are not committing actual crimes.

Only I Can Oppress My People!: The ultimate goal of an evil lord is to live lavishly while exploiting one’s subjects.

But you can’t exactly exploit anyone, or at least not at the appropriate level, if they are all piss-poor peasants that haven’t developed past the middle ages. You have seen this truth, and decided to extend your career on cementing the bases of your empire.

From national to planetary level development, civil administration and bureaucracy, you excel in all of these areas.

What’s more, you are quite good at rooting out corruption and assigning the most competent administrators to their most suited posts.

After all, only the evil lord should be allowed to exploit their subjects.

A Title Given: Cannot be so easily taken.

For whatever reasons, you find that it is quite hard to remove you from a position of power once you have taken it.

Whether it is by internal rebellion, or your superiors trying to out you, any of these forces always find more resistance in these endeavors than they usually would.

Traitors or factionalisms alert you early to crush the rebels, while your superiors may find that their own superiors have taken a liking to you, thus guaranteeing your status.

No Bad Deed Goes Unrewarded: Isn’t it great to be appreciated?

Even an evil overlord can enjoy some good praise.

And what better than when the fools mistake an evil lord like you for an actual virtuous lord? It seems that everywhere you go, people seem to constantly misinterpret your actions in a disproportionately favorable light.

Even when you are being openly corrupt, they take the silliest excuses to rationalize your motivations.

Maybe you aren’t as corrupt as the other lords, or you are actually a great statesman that actually balances things out.

The point is that both the general masses and your peers will have a really hard time finding any flaws within you or your policies, however depraved they are.

The Overlord Charm: What’s an evil lord without some minions to exploit?

This universe, and those that you will travel to in the future, seem to be full of those waiting to enter your service.

You constantly come across extremely talented, useful and loyal people in some kind of distress.

Rescuing or aiding them will almost always pose no problem for you, earning you their gratitude and, usually, their service or alliance.

What’s more, those who have been truly ‘saved’ from a life-threatening or existential peril by you find themselves in a great karmic debt , deciding from that moment to devote their entire selves to you.

This trends to also have a more disproportionate effect on those of your prefered sex, so you can cross the evil overlord harem from your list too.

Almost Too Easy: Whether because your family put you into specially potent education capsules since you were a child, or because of your own natural disposition, you seem to be extremely talented in everything you try your hand to.

Normally, an evil lord would leave these petty matters to his subordinates, but you wanted to live this life to its fullest. Even as a child, you will be considered a master of almost any subject that you put your mind into, easily surpassing the adults that have lived ten times longer than you, to the point of making them green with envy.

What’s more, as long as you truly believe that something is possible, you can even shatter the limits of what should be possible.

Much like Liam, who was tricked into developing the One Flash, to the point that he was eventually able to even strike those beings that could be called gods, you are able to train and develop new abilities without much limit but your own perceptions of what’s possible to you.

Optional from here.

Robot Maid(s): An android unit(s) of the same model that Liam would receive as a parting gift from his parents.

You may choose to get 1 to 24 units of these.

These androids are an almost perfect replica of a human, including a perfect reproduction of a human's private parts, and with their personality and body set to your preferences.

These androids are also a generally capable administrator, and their thought process is entirely centered around your own happiness and well-being.

If you prefer, you could have your own factory of these androids.

These androids have an undying loyalty towards you, and if killed can be brought back.

Ramen Shop A small business, serving a kind of dish which is quite uncommon in this universe.

It is good to bait isekai reincarnators, and get rid of them.

You may choose to have another kind of menu if you wish.

Imperial Weapons Factory: A must have for any overlord.

The production of many inter-galactic weapons such as spaceships and Mobile Knights is usually restricted to a few national massive factories that supply the entirety of the inter-galactic nation.

Not only do these factories focus all the talent and the massive resources needed to constantly produce entire fleets capable of intergalactic warfare, but they also prevent nobles from getting their own supplies of military power without the approval, whether tacit or explicit, of their inter-galactic overlord.

For obvious reasons, you have become the owner of one of such factories.

In the Algrand Empire, each of these factories are usually focused on maximizing one particular area of their products.

Some prefer to disregard any design choices and make the best in terms of performance. Some create ships faster and cheaper in exchange of lesser quality, while others cater to the nobility’s excesses and prioritize making their military equipment as regal and comfortable for their owners as possible, even if that would reduce their combat performance.

You may also choose whether your factory prioritizes anything over other factors, and in turn will see that you will be mostly unrivaled in that category in your nation, concentrating the best talent on that speciality in your nation.

Sacred Sword: A sword that you found somewhere.

Of superb craftsmanship, this overly decorated sword possesses a nigh unbreakable blade whose edge never seems to dull.

But not only is the quality of the material good, it seems that the blade is also capable of damaging and even slaying spiritual entities, as well as those who have no real corporeal form and should be invulnerable to physical attacks by more mundane means.

Finally, this sword has the ability to channel all the feelings of gratitude directed towards you and turn it into a powerful positive energy, which is extremely hurtful to evil ethereal beings.

A Forgotten Clan: It turns out that Kukuri's clan wasn't the only assassin organization that was condemned by the previous Emperor.

This particular group, which is equal in competence and skills to Kukuri's clan, has been recently rescued by you from their eternal imprisonment, and thus they have sworn undying loyalty to you.

This clan consists of a few hundreds extremely talented ninjas and assassins.

Their stealth, intelligence gathering, assassination and counter-intelligence skills are almost unparalled in this era, each individual being worth hundreds of supersoldiers in combat terms, and just a few of them are needed to either secure an entire planet or repell entire enemy clans of this age.

Also, just like Kukuri's clan and those from the last succession war, they also demonstrate a great ability to adapt to new technologies and techniques, incorporating them to their doctrines to slowly grow in power.

They are capable of expanding or replacing their lost numbers by establishing a village, but they require at least an entire planetary population to use as 'scouting grounds' in order to properly grow.

In case all of them are killed, you will find another clan just like them soon after.

Party Dressing: A wardrobe fitting for a high ranking noble.

As it would befit someone of your status, many of these clothing pieces have also been outfit with anti-assassination technology, such as personal forcefields that automatically trigger to intercept any kind of projectile or poisonous gas.

It won’t be able to survive a battleship cannon, but it could resist a couple anti-vehicle missiles or grenades before running out of energy.

Education Capsules: A set of a couple dozen top of the line education capsules.

These are machines made to enhance the physical aspects of a person, turning them into at least well beyond the natural peak human capabilities, as well as giving them the equivalent of several years of high education in a fraction of the time it would take to acquire it via traditional tutoring.

This is a set only affordable for the highest ranking nobles, along with the accompanying facilities and staff needed to make the post-capsule rehabilitation and training.

These are also a bit faster than the regular education capsules, needing a couple less years to perform at the same level.

All the above can be dialed up and down as per your specifications.

And yes, this was copied from a jumpchain and altered to fit into this essence.
