Difference in "Frames"

Overlord Frames

1.) NPCs

-Affected by karma rating

	The rest isn’t shown but it’s a
	gentle spot, once you have gained his favor he is surprisingly gentle. Karma
	values largely influence fundamental courses of action, Ainz’s case is an exception.
	Therefore he can make use of his gentleness.[V3AT]

-Cannot learn new classes by effort

	However, the result could only be described as a lump of charcoal.
	No matter how often that maid practiced, she could only make chunks of charred
	meat.[V4]

-Flavor text becomes real

	However, strategy and political aspects are not expressed
	in Yggdrasil, so they can grow in the early stages. Demiurge is written almost
	universally with such settings.

	Well, Shalltear’s breast pads were not a preference of Peroroncino, and
	instead a strange incident. Peroroncino liked small breasts and requested
	it of the illustrator, and when it was finished she had a chest. Therefore, he
	put in her settings she used pads... like this was the result for the setting.
[Arcadia]

-Inherit relationships and personality quirks from creators depending on detail of settings

	The blank sheet parts of characters is influenced by their creator. It means
	the character whose setting is written does not have room to show their
	creator’s personality. That why Shalltear is not affected by hers.

	Largely, as a blank-slate character, the number one most influenced by
	their creator is Sebas. Shalltear and Demiurge are the most uninfluenced?
	In Demiurge’s case his character settings is solid [OR—fully realized].

	The relationship between Shalltear and Aura is like that of siblings. Shalltear
	has excessively fine settings, there was no space for Peroroncino’s
	personality to manifest. Peroroncino was not a pervert to that extent...isn’t
	that so?

	No, only the blank slate sections are affected. The character will be cruel
	if their settings say they are cruel.

	Pestonya’s gentleness exists in her settings. Because the 41 Supreme Beings made
	her gentle, she is pardoned, for Sebas it differs. [Arcadia]

-Unable to do things that have a YGGDRASIL class but can do anything else

	When Ainz had returned to Nazarick earlier, he had asked one of the maids
	to cook something — a steak. Perhaps she might need practice when it came
	to the doneness and other major points of the meal, but Ainz did not have
	such high expectations of the steak. Neither did he want food which granted
	bonuses, like food in YGGDRASIL. All he wanted was something edible.
	However, the result could only be described as a lump of charcoal.
	No matter how often that maid practiced, she could only make chunks of charred
	meat.
	Ainz had accepted that outcome as he accepted the maid’s heartfelt apologies.
	After all, it was the same as him trying to equip the greatsword in his
	wardrobe.
	In YGGDRASIL, one needed specialized skills to make food. It was only to be
	expected, since food and drink could grant special bonuses when consumed.
	However, that maid did not possess such skills.
	In other words, if one lacked the proper skills to perform a task, it would end
	in failure.
	The matter of Cocytus was also an experiment of sorts. Ainz wanted to see if
	finalized characters like himself and the NPCs could learn anything new. This
	experiment was designed to see if they could grow strong by learning tactics
	and strategy.[V4]

Q:
	Although Ainz cannot equip Warrior Job weapons and the maids cannot cook
	so their game settings are shown [in not being able to do things they have no
	classes for]. Demiurge made a throne for Ainz though. Is that not okay unless
	he has crafting classes?
A:
	Tasks can be done as usual for Jobs not in YGGDRASIL. For example, because
	YGGDRASIL had a class called Weapon-smith, Demiurge cannot make weapons.
	Armor is the same. Yet, there was no Furniture Craftsmen system Job, so he
	can make it like normal. Nevertheless, Demiurge has exceeded do-it-yourself
	carpentry, maa Ulbert is at fault.[Blog]

I know. The plug was one gag I made for Shalltear. It’s a R-18 item, however
in fact in YGGDRASIL those items did not exist neither did a skill to
make them, but Shalltear can make them. So she can make reverse clothes
lol[Arcadia]

-When resurrected by the Guild Base they come back the same age they died minus a few days

Q:

	If Aura died at age 500... but! Like before Ainz uses the money of Nazarick!
	And Aura is revived! What age would the revived Aura be??? 500 or 76???

A:

	500 minus a couple of days [Twitter]

-The Higher the Level the more loyal, barring exceptions like flavor text?

Q:
	I can feel how the maid force loves Ainz-sama lol
A:
	Higher levels have stronger degrees of loyalty, although there are exceptions. Based off the general maids power their loyalty
	is 	low.

\textcolor{goldenrod}{[ZN: WN panty flashing scene or the LN Homunculi maids not accepting Ainz's break proposal? ]}


-Confirmed unable to learn Martial Arts

Q:
	If Pleiades reach MAX level would they be able to use Martial Arts?
A:
	[By a] general rule/principle that’s impossible. Or perhaps I should say....

-Loyalty Tiers

	"I have an important question for you. I am your creator, and the one you are
	loyal to, right?"
	"Indubitably so, Ainz-sama! For as I was made by you, if you desire me to
	do battle with the other Supreme Beings, I shall charge into the fray without hesitation!"
[V3]

Q:
	Shalltear seems to be just a mischievous girl. Is the throne made by Demiurge for Ainz or Ulbert Alain Odle? If it’s the latter,
	do they pay greater respect to their creator or have they changed to embrace larger loyalty toward Ainz?
A:
	The rest of Shalltear’s hobbies are not good. She’s the type to quickly kill. In that meaning Demiurge has an evil personality.
	The order of the all the NPCs loyalty is one’s personal creator > Momonga (the guild master) > all the other 41 Supreme Beings.
[Arcadia]


2.) Players

-NOT affected by karma rating


	The rest isn’t shown but it’s a
	gentle spot, once you have gained his favor he is surprisingly gentle. Karma
	values largely influence fundamental courses of action, Ainz’s case is an exception.
	Therefore he can make use of his gentleness.[V3AT]

-Affected by player avatar for biological impulses

	Ainz had once been a human being, and now he was undead. From just now, he
	had sensed that Albedo hated humans very much. However, it did not upset
	him or make him feel depressed. [V1]

	If his old friends were to come, and to
	dissuade Ainz his whole policy would change. He has the potential to become
	a champion of justice however, there’s a feeling he’s been warped
	into a dreadful monster. [Arcadia]

	It is considerably easy for Ainz to become enraged. His soul [mind OR
	spirit; seishin] has been warped. [Arcadia]

-Unknown if flavor text existed on Players

-Unable to do things that have a YGGDRASIL class but can do anything else (acting, making deals in negotiations, etc)

	That was what confused Momonga.
	Although the realistic NPCs made him think he was no longer in a game, the
	annoying sensation that bound his body made him feel otherwise.
	In YGGDRASIL, Momonga had no levels in warrior classes, and so he should not
	have been able to use a greatsword. However, if this new world was reality, it
	only made sense that he should have been able to wield it.
[V1]

- Unknown how resurrection is prioritized in NW when auto resurrection items are equipped, a guild base exists, and if the home location system is still applicable.  (memory situation unknown)

-Cannot use New World only magic
	By the way this is a Tier that did not exist in YGGDRASIL, so not even Ainz can
	make use of this domain.
[Blog]

3.) Mercenaries, POPs, and Summons

- Affected by Avatar impulses and Flavor Text (Death Knight)

	Much like he had with the Primal Fire Elemental and Moonlight Wolves he
	had summoned, Momonga used the mental bond with his summoned monster
	and pointed to the corpse of the knight who had been slain by the [Dragon
	Lightning].

	"Exterminate all the knights who are attacking this village."

	It was a roar of joy.

	The look of delight was unmistakable, even on its rotted face. As an overwhelmingly
	superior slaughterer, it savored the despair and terror of the pitiful
	humans who could not even survive a single one of its blows.
	Nobody dared attack, though they had swords in hand.
	At first, they had tried an attack, though they were afraid. But even those
	blades which had made it past their foe’s defense could not strike a telling
	blow through the Death Knight’s armor.

	In contrast, the Death Knight did not use its sword, but sent Londes flying with
	a shield bash, and it did so without using enough force to kill.
	It was clearly toying with them, given the way it did not use its full strength.
	It was plain to see that the Death Knight wanted to enjoy the dying struggles
	of these humans.
	[V1]

	This was because the Encyclopedia recorded the visual data of all the monsters
	a player had ever encountered. However, it did not display statistics — the
	monsters’ ability scores — but only its typical appearance and name. If it was
	a monster from mythology, it would also display the relevant contents from
	the myth in question and other relevant information.

	"...a mutant species of Unicorn. Just as Unicorns are supposed to be associated
	with purity, Bicorns are associated with impurity. Unicorns will only allow
	pure maidens to ride them, but conversely, Bicorns will never allow pure
	maidenss to ride them …haaah?!"[V8]

- Karma rating influence unclear
- Loyalty same as from NPCs

"...Hm? My apologies. I have another question that is unrelated to combat.
While that is Albedo’s order, if I were to tell you to abandon that order, who
would have priority?"
"Naturally, your words would have priority, Ainz-sama. However, I must sincerely
apologize that we will obey orders from our summoner, Anyami Shirabesama,
above all else."
[V13]

Q:
	Shalltear seems to be just a mischievous girl. Is the throne made by Demiurge for Ainz or Ulbert Alain Odle? If it’s the latter,
	do they pay greater respect to their creator or have they changed to embrace larger loyalty toward Ainz?
A:
	The rest of Shalltear’s hobbies are not good. She’s the type to quickly kill. In that meaning Demiurge has an evil personality.
	The order of the all the NPCs loyalty is one’s personal creator > Momonga (the guild master) > all the other 41 Supreme Beings.
[Arcadia]


- Summons are extremely rigid with orders while Mercenaries follow orders with a loop hole about assuming guild Player orders

	After this, I’d like to question all the vassals and NPCs about the secrets they’ve
	been hiding. Kukuku – in that case, another question popped up.
	In the absence of a direct order, vassals like Doppelgangers would obey the
	NPC in charge of them. In that case, what would happen if a certain NPC
	wanted to kill Ainz and gathered many high-level vassals and ordered them
	to attack Ainz with their strongest moves? Of course, this would be happening
	while Ainz was unable to detect or stop them.
	Would they carry out that order? Or would they refuse orders like that?

	"...You’re also ready to come at me like you want to kill me, is that it?"

	"Yes. Those are the orders I have received, and I have determined that I also
	have your permission, Ainz-sama."
[V13]

-Can level down on resurrection but can never surpass their level cap (or they can't be rezzed or level up)

	He had conducted an experiment in learning martial arts while Hamsuke was
	training to be a warrior. In other words, he used this Death Knight to see if it
	could continue gaining levels as a warrior.
	He had equipped the Death Knight with artifacts that increased XP gain but
	that would greatly weaken it. However, in the end the Death Knight did not
	gain any levels. Ainz had anticipated that outcome, so he was not angry. Still,
	for some reason, Hamsuke had been going on and on about the Death Knight,
	so in the end, he took back the artifacts and left the Death Knight with her.
[V10]

Q:
	On Arcadia it was said that the Leader of the Goblins summoned by Enri
	was Lv. 12[.....]Are beings summoned by magical items set with fixed levels?
	Or can the Lv. 8 Goblin Soldiers and Lv. 10 Goblin Mage raise their
	level to Lv. 12? Or are beings summoned by magical items fixed and the
	undead summoned by Ainz and other special skills have fixed levels, so
	their level cannot raise?

A:
	The former is true. The limit of the character’s level is fixed. It can lower
	with death as a penalty but it can never rise even if they gain more experience
	[past the limit].[Blog]

-Not YGGDRASIL or New World Beings as has biological needs but remains static in terms of age and level (Varies by being)

	First of all the Goblins [summoned by Enri] are not existences of the
	New World or Yggdrasil. It is an existence that applies the basis (Yggdrasil
	data) to the idea (essence ) born as a seed from the New World’s Goblins.
	There is no life expectancy, and is more like a semi-permanent vision that
	does not grow. However, because it is summoned as a living thing mysteriously,
	it is necessary for it to eat and sleep etc.
	That’s why if it dies, the body can’t be recovered. The summon copies the
	thoughts and memories of the summoner. All magical summons do this.
	If not, during a battle where it is summoned to support a companion, it
	will have to be individually ordered to. "There is a pitfall there, that’s a
	monster, that’s an ally, and attack that enemy." If that is not done, then
	battles would become difficult. That’s why the memory was copied. Their
	loyalty is unbiased and will not change. The reason is a kind of empathy
	is born, like a copy of a memory. One’s right hand does not fight with their
	brain, and since summons have that same exact empathy there is almost
	no way to treat a summoned monster badly. There are exceptions though
	like those into hurting themselves. [Arcadia]

Q:
	3.) After three months I remember Ainz being furious at Sebas’ harem
	(lolol) so I think the NPCs are capable of breeding. But can summoned
	beings like Enri’s goblins breed? I am afraid of Kyouhukou’s summons
	spreading, so I hope you would make it impossible for them to breed.

	4.) 4.) Can monsters summoned by the POP system from YGGDRASIL breed
	in the NW?
A:
	3.) [For] summoned servants I’ll think about it privately [if] attempting
	to is impossible. It isn’t [possible] in the case for summoned servants that
	use gold coins and so on.
	4.) It is impossible. [Blog]

4.) New Worlders

-Affected by Karma rating

	The rest isn’t shown but it’s a
	gentle spot, once you have gained his favor he is surprisingly gentle. Karma
	values largely influence fundamental courses of action, Ainz’s case is an exception.
	Therefore he can make use of his gentleness.[V3AT]

-When resurrected (by Tier Magic) lose appropriate levels but if the levels they lose surpasses current level they disappear

	There was a resurrection spell in the Fifth tier of divine magic, but that spell
	could not resurrect his mother. Resurrection expended a tremendous amount
	of life force on the part of the dead person, and the deceased who lacked suficient life force would not
	be resurrected, but reduced to ash and dust. His
	mother did not have the necessary vitality. [V2]

	The spell Lakyus cast was the 5th-tier spell [Raise Dead]. The process of resurrection
	drained tremendous amounts of life force. Iron-ranked adventurers
	and below would be reduced to ash without fail if it was cast on them.
	Adamantite-ranked adventurers could be revived without a problem, but the
	resurrection would drain so much life energy from them that they would not
	be able to move, and recovering this life energy would take a long time.[V6]

-Influence from caster during resurrection?

	The world was darkness
	She did not even know who she was
	She wanted to open her eyes – but she did not know what eyes were
	Darkness, the world, she did not know what any of them were
	She did not know why she was thinking of these things
	She knew nothing
	She was vanishing
	She did not know what "vanishing" meant
	But she was vanishing
	However, suddenly, she felt like she was being pulled by something
	From above, from below, from the left, from the right, somewhere–
	A world that had reached its completion was pulling her
	A pitiful being who had been completed by the works of their friends
	Someone who had sealed their thoughts away because they felt nothing was
	more important than that
	And then – an explosion of white light dyed the world
	There was a tremendous sense of loss –
	A sense of separation from a whole–
	Neia Baraja blinked several times, seeking to return her vacant field of vision
	to normal.
	She sensed that something had happened, but she could not remember anything
	about it. However, she ought to have been fighting demihumans. What
	on earth had happened?
	...
	The Sorcerer King shielded the upper halves of his eye sockets like he was being
	dazzled as he poured out the contents of the bottle. The sense of weakness
	she had been feeling since just now melted away. However, her body still felt
	heavy. She felt like something had been scraped away from herself, but matching
	it – no, exceeding it – was a warmth in the core of her body.
	She could get up like this. While her body still hurt so much that she was in
	tears, she could not remain in such a disgraceful posture in front of the person
	who had come to save her.
	[V13]

	A gentle sensation filled his body. It was as though a hand were trying to drag
	him up through deep water, but Zaryusu shrugged it off. That was because he
	felt something disgusting from that frightening hand.
	After what seemed like an instant and an eternity had passed, he felt the hand
	reaching for him again. Zaryusu wanted to brush it off once more, but he
	stopped. That was because he heard a voice coming from beside him, that
	of the female he loved.
	He hesitated.
	And hesitated.
	And still hesitated.
	In this world where time might not have existed at all, Zaryusu waf􀏐led, and
	then, however reluctantly, he reached out to take that hand.
	After that, someone pulled him up forcefully, dragging him into a brilliantly
	white world.
	He felt powerless.
	He felt like his innards were a sack of mud.
	He felt incredibly tired. Even intense physical activity had never left him this
	exhausted before.
	Zaryusu struggled to open his heavy-lidded eyes.
	Light stabbed into his field of vision. Lizardmen’s eyes could automatically adjust
	to ambient lighting, but they could not resist momentary flashes of light.
	Zaryusu blinked—
	...
	Why? What was going on?
	Zaryusu’s heart filled with doubt and unease. His final memory was — his
	head falling to the marsh. He should have been killed by Cocytus.
	Yet, why was he alive? Unless—
	"—Crusch, could it be you were killed too?"
	"Eh?"
	Zaryusu worked his mouth, which felt numb and thus hard to control, and then
	asked a question.
	Yet the answer he received was a baffled look on Crusch’s face. As he saw it,
	Zaryusu breathed a sigh of relief, because he knew that Crusch was not dead.
	In that case, why was he still alive?
	The voice from beside him supplied a hint.
	"Hm …he seems to have come back to life, but his thoughts still seem muddled,
	and he seems to have lost levels …That being the case, it ought to be roughly
	the same as it was in YGGDRASIL."[V4]

The same user (Ainz) for both though Neia had the stronger wand used on her. Is the influence only a defense mechanism of the rejection so you feel the intent of the person (Zaryusu was an experiment and Ainz didn't fell much of anything; Neia was someone Ainz wanted to resurrect and earned his favor by reminding him of Touch Me?) Do higher tiers affect the revived person to overcome rejection by making them

-Can do things they do not have the class for (Enri can cook despite not having the class)

	Enri Emmot rose before the sun came up to make breakfast. She was not as
	good a cook as her deceased mother, and there was a lot of food to prepare.
	Counting Nemu, Enri herself and the nineteen Goblins loyal to her, she had to
	make breakfast for twenty-one people. Cooking for two more on top of those
	would make twenty-three in total. Preparing that much food was a lot of work,
	and could be considered a battle in its own right. Enri trembled while looking
	at the vast quantity of food in front of her and realised that it would all be gone
	in one meal.[V8]

-Have level caps

	In short let us consider a Legend[densetsu]-class Farmer. Their Farmer Job
	Level is 10, Master Farmer Job Level is 10, and Fighter Job Level is 6.
	...well it’s a difference in combat ability.
	These General classes contribute to the Level Limit as well.
	If the Level Limit [Lv. cap] is 20 Levels for a person, and they have 10 Levels in
	the Farmer Job class. It can be calculated that they can acquire only 10 more
	Levels.[Blog]

So Normal classes that did not seem to exist in YGGDRASIL and thus for NW beings only count toward a level cap or limit. See Climb stuck at Gold despite his constant training.

-Classes with level restrictions can be acquired but other prerequisites unknown

	Entoma grew cautious for the first time. The manwoman — Gagaran — was
	nothing to fear. The problem was the newcomer — Tia. If her clothes were not
	just for looks, then she ought to be a ninja. That was a job class which required
	a minimum character level of 60 to take.
	...Tia and Tina CS: Ninja Lv. ? [V6]

	Cursed Knights had the backstory of being corrupted cleric-knights who had
	been cursed, and they were considered to be a very strong class in YGGDRASIL.
	However, they had a lot of drawbacks, so they were not very popular. Among
	the skills Cursed Knights could learn was the ability to release waves of darkness,
	inflict cursed wounds which could not be healed by low level healing
	spells, instant death curses, and so on.
	Ainz narrowed his illusory eyes under his helmet. This was not a coincidence.
	While the Swords of Darkness might be weapons with powers similar to those
	of a Cursed Knight, it was more likely that the hero himself was a Cursed
	Knight.
	If that were the case, when one considered the prerequisites to become a
	Cursed Knight, it was certain that this ”Black Knight” was at least level sixty
	no, if one considered that he had to actually learn all those skills as well, he
	would have to be at least level seventy.[V2]

	Leians CS Cursed Knight Lv. ? [V10]

New Worlders can somehow bypass level requirements if not class requirements. See Gondo's situation where Ainz thinks the level prerequisite still applies for classes (Runemsith doesn't have a minimum level but does have a prerequiste number of classes  that must be taken first)

"I’m not talented. I can carve runes, but it takes too long for me to do so …although,
they say all runesmiths have to pass through this phase before they
can grow. But other runesmiths progressed forward instead of being stuck at
a plateau like me."
Gondo drooped his head powerlessly.
"I’m no good as a runesmith. I’m just a useless descendant that my great father
left behind."
I see, Ainz mused. So his problem was simply a lack of talent.
After considering the knowledge from this world and that of YGGDRASIL, he
was quite sure that this was the case.
One needed ten other levels in certain job classes before being able to take
levels in the runesmith career. However, if his overall level cap was 11, then
he would not be able to gain further levels as a runesmith. And if he had only
one level of runesmith, he would only be able to learn skills of no great import.
There was nothing Ainz could do to help Gondo, so he said nothing else.[V11]


tl:dr A class may have had two requirements: "Edge Lord: Needs the 5 Dork type Class levels and a minimum level of 69". in this contrived example, a YGGDARSIL being would have the Dork class and level 69 requirment. However, for some reason a New Worlder would need to only have the Dork Class.

-Can acquire New World only abilities like Tier 0 magic

(this is pretty obvious right?)

-Bloodline affects strength or potential level caps

	The black Lizardman turned to regard Zaryusu with a keen gaze. This Lizardman
	was the chief of the Green Claw tribe, as well as Zaryusu’s older brother
	— Shasuryu Shasha.[V4]

	"Should we talk to Azuth for safety’s sake?"
	"I’m not too happy about asking a rival for help, but …well, she is his niece, so
	we should let him know, at least."
	"Hm, then shouldn’t we do that right away? We still need to track him down
	too."
	"Mm. We should just prepare ourselves to back Lakyus up at any time."
	"After all, it takes an adamantite-ranked adventurer to stop another."
	...
	"Yes, Aindra-sama."
	"Aindra? Oh! ...Which Aindra is it? From Blue …or is it Red?"
	"That would be Aindra-sama of Blue Rose."
	Gazef sighed in visible relief.
	"I see …so that was it …so if a friend’s come, that means …"
	[V5]

	Gondo: A person from a continually excellent bloodline [for generations] who was born without
	talent or ability, as runes declined it would not have been strange to walk
	on another path, but he could not do so. I’d be happy if you bear in mind he
	was desperately trying to hold a Job that [required?] character data.[V11AT]

	No, Remedios is a higher level than Gazef. Kelart is also in the domain of
	heroes, so the Custodios blood is amazing![Twitter]

	The speaker was the Holy Queen, Calca Bessarez.
	Due to her low place in the order of succession — only males had inherited
	the Holy Kingdom until now — she should never have taken the position of
	Holy Queen. However, due to two qualities she had, the crown had eventually
	been placed upon her brow.
	The first was her beautiful looks. Her face was as beautiful as a freshly-bloomed
	flower, filled with cuteness and dignity, and it was praised as "the treasure
	of Roble," while her radiant, vibrant long hair was like threads of spun gold.
	Since it resembled an angel’s halo, many who saw her gentle smile went on to
	describe her as a saint.
	The other quality was her excellence as a divine magic caster. She was a genius
	who could use fourth tier spells at the tender age of fifteen, and she had
	ascended to the throne with the firm backing of the previous Holy King and
	the temples.
	Almost ten years had passed since then, while certain voices disapproved of
	her excessive kindness, she had not made any mistakes which could be considered
	critical and thus she had ruled the Holy Kingdom to this day. However,
	this rule was not solid, and embers smoldered out of sight.[V12]

	Caspond: While an excellent individual in his own right, he realized that his little
	sister was even more capable than him and sought knowledge despite
	being born into noble society. He was not interested in bloodline feuds
	and so he ceded the succession to his sister.[V13]


	The demihumans within could be counted among the top ten members of the
	demihuman forces, demons excepted. While he could feel the physical weight
	of their gazes upon him, his attitude did not change in the slightest.
	As a fellow member of those ten beings, he simply laughed and made a show
	of filling one of the empty seats. That said, his bestial lower body meant that
	taking a seat was more like lying down.
	"They say the Grand King used to hold that city. Don’t tell me you’re scared
	just because the enemy has someone who could defeat him?"
	The Grand King – the king who had led the Bafolk to greatness.
	He had been one of the top ten demihumans, like himself.
	Wayja was confident that he stood on even footing with the Grand King, despite the latter’s annoying martial arts which could
	break 	weapons. Anyone who could beat the Grand King must surely be a worthy opponent.
	Remedios had originally planned to kill tens of thousands of demihumans by
	herself here, and she was very confident of doing so. However, she now sensed
	that fighting these three demihumans at once was extremely dangerous.
	There were only three of them. While she could not make them out due to
	the smoke, she could tell they were brimming with confidence, given their
	unhurried pace. Even their fellow demihumans seemed to have handed their
	task over to those three, unwilling to come any closer.
	...They’re strong. I don’t know if I can beat them even if it’s a one-on-one fight
	…or can I? I’ve got no chance if it’s three-on-one.
	Remedios’ instincts screamed at her to flee rather than take these three on at
	the same time.
	...
	"Now then, human girl, I shall introduce ourselves. I am Halisha Ankara. This
	is Vijar Lajandara, who needs no introduction. And last of all is Nasrene Bert
	Kyuru-dono."
	"Those names! Aren’t they the White Elder and Iceflame Thunder!?" Paladin
	Sabicus exclaimed.
	"Kukukukuku. Even the humans know our names. The fledgling, on the other
	hand–"
	"–Human. Do I not have a title like that?"
	"I’ve never heard of the name Vijar Lajandala. However, there’s an axe-wielding
	Zoastia like you who’s quite famous. It’s the Demon Claw, Demon Claw, Vaju
	Sandiknara."
	"That was my old man," Vijar snorted. "I’m the heir to the title of Demon
	Claw, Vijar Lajandala. I’ll make sure you think of my name when you hear the
	words Demon Claw."[V13]

	Various Demi-humans:
	Based on level it was filled to the brim with powerful [Demi-humans]. They
	would be designated all over Hero-class by human beings. Maa, most died.[V13AT]

	The Slane Theocracy believed in beings called the 6 Great Gods [daijin], among
	some of the nation there are people who inherited[hiku] blood of the gods
	[which] was thick, or thin [kami no chi wokoi,usui]. Those kind of people
	had the possibility of having strong potential. It could be said that Clementine
	inherited traits from her ancestor Gods [kami nochiwohiite] in a sense
	as well. However that is only meant they inherited traits but did not surpass
	their ancestors, beings called Godkin [jinin] differed.
	Amongst all those descended from the Gods, those who awaken [mezameta]
	the power of the Gods [kami no ryoku] are called the term God-kin [jinin].
	Presently, there are two God-kin in the Theocracy. One is the Captain of the
	special military operation’s Black Scripture which Clementine used to belong
	to and the other is the Theocracy’s Head Priest [kuni no shinkan naga dearu]
	There ability was an order of magnitude different, and in the case they are
	adorned in the arms left behind by the Gods [kamigami no nokoshita bugu],
	it is said they are individuals that can wreck/destroy [horoboseru] the continent.
	But, still-
	Within the continent, Clementine could not predict what would happen if the
	small minority of God-kin fought against this monster which was up until recently
	in it’s ancient tomb.
	Monsters which are far stronger than the strength of humans can only be
	judged as strong so distinctions [become unclear]. It can only be perceived
	as being on a level stronger than their selves.[WN]

So there appears to be a link between bloodline and your level cap, but it's not guaranteed (see how Gondo didn't get close to the potential of his bloodline). Likewise, there is variation in the same bloodline too, based on Calca and Caspond as well as Kelart and Remedios.

	Remedios: The strongest paladin of the Holy Kingdom, but unfortunately, she is only the
	strongest in the Holy Kingdom, and not the strongest in the region. The first
	is someone in the Black Scripture. [V12AT]

	Kelart: As a pure priest, she is the most powerful in the region, outstripping her
	counterpart in Blue Rose.[V13 Kelart Character Sheet]

So Kelart outstripped not only Lakyus but even the Theocracy unlike her sister who was weaker than the Theocracy's best Paladin.

	Q:
	I can’t tell if you can’t spell or have a weird accent lol Are Difficulty 60 vampires really so dangerous Shalltear had two of
	them.
	A:
	You are such a stressful critic! The things I am ashamed about have increased by 1. It is not high to that extent. The highest
 	peak of humans are 1 in 1 million and hold the ability of a Difficulty 70 being. Brain and Gazef are 1 in several million. Fluder
	is 1 in 10 million? That seems about appropriate. [Arcadia]

So there is a random chance of being super strong  if no one is strong in your family apparently. With Gondo we see bloodline alone is not enough as well though. It's certainly odd Laky's family got TWO Adamantite ranked people, both Zaryusu and Sharyusus are some of the strongest lizardmen, and the Custodio sisters are both Hero ranked. WN Clementine confirms the link to Players at least can buff you even if your not an Awakened Godkin. Based on the odds Maruyama stated in general, it is very unlikely it would happen in so many families with hero-ranked or Adamantite people if it was purely random.

The Ancestor Albino Theory  (someone Awakens is a very recessive trait but is more likely due to bloodline conditions) suggests the idea that you need certain conditions to Awaken. Krusch Awakened her "Elder Blood" but due to being in a small tribal environmnet there are more chances for inter marrying with fellow "Awakenable blood". This is not impossible, as Zaryusu and Krusch had a child who inherited Krusch's scales at least. It's unknonw if Zaryusu someone with a strong level cap (around Hero tier in the WN) also had ties to "Awakenable blood" since the Lizardmen had ancestors who could use Tier 6 magic and were related to DRagon Lords. Thus Zaryusu might have a strong bloodline. Its plausbile though he carries "Awakenable blood" from some powerful Lizardmen ancestor.

tl:dr "Awakenable blood " is a recessive gene that has better odds of manifesting if someone mates with others of "Awakenable blood". Rape King is trying to manifest someone who Awakens, but he failed so far to his knowledge as none of his children are as strong as he is. However, we the audience know his daughter Zesshi with the Awakened Godkin  of the past and she's surpassed her fellow Godkin at least (it's unknown if Rape King's Awakenable blood is superior to  the Theocracy's own Awakenable blood, but Rape King considered Zesshi's mother strong at least). Rape King being Rape King does have sufficient breeding experience so his view not having strong mother's is potentially part of the situation. In particular here is the "mother's blodo was too strong" part of the intermission.

	"...How surprising. Are you at your wits’ end because you are all weaklings?
	This is truly a country of idiots. All the children that I sired turned out to be
	nothing but useless."
	People born in wartime were stronger than those born in peace. That being
	the case, warfare was an opportunity to awaken the power latent in all living
	things. However, he had not heard about anyone whose power had awakened
	so far.
	Still, he should not hold the people solely to blame. His many children had
	turned out that way as well. Their true number meant nothing to him so he
	paid it no heed; why would anyone bother counting pieces of garbage? It was
	probably because their mothers’ blood was too strong. None of the offspring
	he had bred from them possessed even a fraction of his power.
	...
	In the past, he had tricked the woman who had been known as the trump card
	of the Theocracy, and then he had captured her. He had chained her up and
	raped her, and even impregnated her. However, she had been stolen away by
	the Black Scripture before she could give birth.
	He clicked his tongue.
	That child was his. Since it had been born, they should give it back.
	"...After this country falls, perhaps I’ll go over to the Theocracy in person and
	take the child back."
	This was not kindness of any sort.
	After all, that child was the get of himself and that powerful woman, so it had
	the potential to become even more powerful.[V11]

	This was because he knew that the girl hated people looking at her ears.
	The girl’s seductive lips formed into a curve, as though she were reading his
	mind.
	She was a cross-blooded child born of nigh-impossible odds, the Black Scripture’s
	Extra Seat, known as "Certain Death." She was a guardian, responsible
	for defending the sanctum sanctorum of the Slaine Theocracy, the place where
	the relics of five gods were kept.
	If that happened …the mightiest, never-defeated Extra Seat of the Slaine Theocracy
	might be vanquished. In other words, that moment would be the end of
	all hope, when the defenders of mankind were finally laid low.
	...While he could not compare to her, he was still an awakened God-kin who
	also possessed many magic items.[V4]

	This time, there was a new book-original character. So it seems another one
	appears [ZN: connotation and thematic usage didn’t translate well from just
	another one or some variation], thus the New World’s Overlord appears.
	When she is present, there are relics of 5 Gods [ZN: hashira no
	soubi ], when she is not, there are only 4 relics of Gods
	Sooner or later you will understand how strong she is. Because she has the
	strongest of the top-ten Talents on the continent (identical talents can be shared/
	not counted twice).
	[ZN: Fluder, Arche, and Ninya’s teacher all had the same Talent. So if another
	person had the same Talent as Zesshi it would be counted as that Talent is the
	strongest, not the two of them have the strongest Talent taking up 1st and 2nd
	place. So the second strongest Talent would still be ranked 2nd, just there are
	two people with a stronger Talent than them in this hypothetical example.]
	However, I wonder if it was good to say there are only 3 god-kins?
	Or maybe it is better to think there is 2 people?
	It is difficult to say.[V4AT]

	The Slaine Theocracy permitted the practice of polygamy as long as the nation
	sanctioned it. This was a practice which had been grandfathered from a time
	when bloodlines had to be kept pure due to a lack of powerful entities.[V4]

So some people cite how Zesshi is called a child born of near impossible odds as a sign she has Awakened her Rape King blood and her Godkin blood at the same time hence why she surpasses the Black Scripture Captain to the point she never lost to him or other Godkin before to satisfy her conditions for marriage etc. Clearly the Theocracy also has knowledge of how bloodlines need to be protected at least to keep them "pure". Is that purity though "Awakenable blood"? Well someone can Awaken blood from one parent at least so why not both? ... Or so the theory goes. It would explain the impossible odds mentioned by that one line (though Awakening could be harder if your race differs from your ancestor or something for all we know).

1.) Impossible odds means it is hard to Awaken if race differs from ancestor
2.) Impossible odds means Zesshi Awakened both Godkin and Rape King blood which is quite rare
3.) Impossible odds means Zesshi AWakening as the first child between two parents is quite rare based on the baby making line
4.) Relates to her Talent

Based on Zesshi's strength where even another Godkin's level being low enough to ensure certain victory suggests it's not just odds of being born but also relates to strength. Maru calling her the New World's Overlrod makes her out to be really strong. And that line, how it would be good to say there are only 3 God-kin, does that factor in? Does Zesshi not quite count as a Godkin due to having elf blood or is it because the former Cardinal Godkin is not factored in? Or was it because Zesshi Awakened Rape King blood and thus is not only a Godkin but also whatever Rape King is?

	The offspring of the beings known as ”Players” were people who might awaken
	incredible power from within themselves. The Slaine Theocracy called these
	people demigods. Or, more precisely, they were the ones who carried the
	bloodline of the Six Gods within their veins. If they had the blood of others,
	they would be termed differently.
	It seemed very likely that this Momon was of the bloodline of a "Player".
	Or rather, it would be better to say that no human could have possessed such
	power. [V6]

So if the Ancestor Albino theory is true, blood purity relates to keeping stronger ties to that ancestor since base off pure odds it appears recessive. Circumstantially, Zesshi is extremely pale and the Captain appears to have red eye so it's possible the Albino nature is one does not exhibit the phenotype of their New Worlder parents? Or maybe the trait is just as rare as Albino-ism naturally occurring but increases with those of "Awakenable blood"? It's hard to say.

Blood purity and the recessive gene would match up with how Rape King can't get offspring to Awaken as strong as he can. And like WN Clementine said, there are differences in blood purity as well as how strong you get from a "Awakenable blood" ancestor. So if Rape King does have "Awakenable blood" AND it's Player blood, it would make sense why he and Zesshi's mom had an Awakened child since they were both "Awakenable blood" holders and had the "Albinoism" or purer YGGDARSIL type blood or however you want to think about it. Thus it was more likely for this condition of Awakening to be inherited. Now Evileye's line of how having different Player blood would mean you are called something else besides Godkin would explain why Zesshi or at least one of the Godkin do not quite count as a normal Godkin assuming that line applies to Zesshi.

For now, Awakening appears to be related to blood purity, strong mates, and recessive genes.

-Awakening System related to Player ancestors?

-Learn spells and magic differently than YGGDRASIL beings

	"I’d like to cast spells like you, Ninya-san."
	"You’re greedy, Momon-san. To think you’d want spellcasting ability even
	though your swordsmanship is so amazing …no, I should say that you’re being
	an adventurer, right?"
	"Magic doesn’t seem like the sort of thing you can learn in one or two days.
	Well, you need to connect to the world, but only people with the appropriate
	talent can do it. If not, you’ll need to take a long time to experience it."
	Those words came from Lukrut, who had cut in without turning to look from
	where he was setting up the campfire. Ninya’s face turned serious: [V2]

	 If you were born with magical potential, Master should be able to sense it. When it comes to arcane
	magic casters, Master can even differentiate between them by the tiers
	of magic which they can cast.[V2]

	“It’s something different. Mah, if it is a magic caster better than me he
	may be able to understand something. The highest magic casters are
	able to detect their opponent’s magic ability better.”
	“. . . . . .What does that mean?”
	“Ah, we magic casters have something like a magic aura made by our
	magic power, and it surrounds our body. The better one becomes at
	magic, the ability to sense it also increases. That and controlling the
	amount of magic power.”
	“Let’s see. Firstly you need to find a good teacher?”
	“After?”
	“Afterwards? Mah, you cannot proceed without a teacher, but afterwards
	you should carve a contracted medium.”
	“A contracted medium?”
	“Eh. A special medium which you have contracted with, and engraved
	with special magic equations. You can use the magic from the your force
	of will.”
	“Is Ninya holding one?”
	“Eh. Mine is a grimoire.”
	He pointed at the bag he was carrying.
	“. . . . . .Can that grimoire be used by anyone?”
	“Ahaha. It’s impossible, Momon-san. The person that can extract power
	from the medium, is only the one who has formed a contract. And so
	Momon-san holding my grimoire cannot use it.”
	“Is that so, a pity.”
	Momon resisted the desire to click his tongue.
	“Mah, there are many people that steal the magic inside the medium
	though.”
	“Is that so?”
	“Eh.”
	“. . . . . . If that is the case then I have no choice but to steal magic?”
	“That is not true.” Ninya replied to Momon’s dangerous words with a
	smile on his face. “You can buy scrolls with magic inside the Guild. And
	you can use them to transfer mediums. And if you search, you can find
	adventurers that would sell them at reasonable prices. Occasionally,
	adventurers have a chance of holding onto rare or recently made magic
	rather than the Guild.”[WN]

	Fluder looked at them. Inside the eyes of those people, a bright flame of ambition
	burned.
	Despite having multiple disciples, Fluder had no clear successor. Since the
	position of Head Magic Caster was given by the Emperor, many tried to win
	his favour by doing notable jobs. However what his disciples truly wanted
	was Fluder's spellbook and equipment. Those would earn them the title of
	the best magic caster.
	Thus they stood next to Fluder and tried to steal everything they could.
	It felt good.[WN]

There is something called potential Magic casters have that enables them to use magic and one can study magic from things like Scrolls to learn the spell?

-Normal Classes
	-Unlike Job classes, Normal classes require lengths of time and experience

		-Tsuare had 2 Slave (Normal) levels after years of being a sex slave. She then gained 1 Maid (Normal) level.
		 In comparison Enri gained 6 Commander type levels after 2 months of experience.

	>There is a type of class called General, but holders are not endowed with combat ability at the drop of a hat, rather it’s
	a class which a person potentially acquires during their livelihood. Skilled craftsmen are talented well, because their
	General class is high. But General classes are weak classes. For example, a Lv. 8 Emperor is not endowed with combat ability
	equal to a Lv. 8 soldier in comparison. Is the combat ability 1/5 or 1/2 the standard? [Blog]

	>Her age was now plain to see. She looked like she was in her late teens, between
	15 to 19, although the shadow on her face from her years in her man-made
	hell made her seem older than she actually was. [V5]

	>Once, in a certain village, there lived a pair of sisters who were very close.
	Their parents had passed away when they were young and they were poor, but they helped each other through life.
	However, the elder sister was taken away by the lord of the land — a man with a terrible reputation — to serve as his
	concubine. 	Perhaps the younger sister might have been able to wish her well with tears in her eyes if her elder sister
	had been able to live well. However, the rumors her little sister heard made her guess that her elder sister would be used as
    a toy and then disposed of as garbage once her captors tired of her.
	When her guess was proven accurate, the furious little sister left her village, because nobody was willing to help her. Soon,
 	she discovered that she had a talent for magic, and so she steadily built her strength in order to save her elder sister with
	her abilities. However, she had met her end before meeting her aim.[V6]

Maid (Normal) Lv. 1
Slave (Normal) Lv. 2
	>Tsuare: Quite the common character (Bubbly and sweet). She is a bit above 20. . . .Real name is Tsuare. The older sister
	of Ninya, she was taken by a noble when she was 13 for 6 years, the noble then grew bored of her and sold her, causing her
	to experience hell for four months. [WN]

Farmer Lv. 1
Sergeant Lv. 1
Commander Lv. 2
General Lv. 2
	>A girl who recently became the chieftain of the Carne Village. Thanks to her healthy lifestyle of eating well and working
	 hard, 	her upper arm muscles started becoming larger and she developed abdominal muscles as well. Estimated to be among the top-
	five strongest (among humans) in Carne Village. These are her levels at the end of Volume 8, she only had Farmer Lv. 1 and
	 Sergeant Lv. 1 in the beginning. [Enri CS]

So at absolute worse, Tsuare only gained 2 Normal levels in 4 months than Enri did getting 4 YGGDRASIL levels in at most 2 months.

What should be noted is that somehow the acquisition of YGGDRASIL classes and these Normal type classes differs for some reason. It may not be clear to some, but in Sword World there were criteria for gaining these classes as well as unique restrictions.

	1.) Normal levels do not count toward combat AT ALL (Maru went on record saying his Normal levels do contribute somewhat)
	2.) A person can only possess at most 10 Normal levels
	3.) The requirement to acquire Normal class levels by amount of time studied in the field and degree of competency

In a case of having only 10 total levels, the maximum level of Normal classes that can be held is 5 (Sword World restriction if you remember).

Level 1: An amateur that has gotten skills in the class. Comparable to 1 month of experience.

Level 2: Someone with higher skills or ability in a class. Comparable to 3 months of experience.

Level 3: Someone who cannot be seen as less than an apprentice becoming proficient in the field. The experiences and observations they have cannot be matched by anyone who hasn't spent at least 1 year in the field.

Level 4: Someone at the level worth speaking about in general. Has noticeably over a year of experience in the class or training in it.

Level 5: Someone at bare minimum considered a professional. Has at least a few years of experience in the class or field as a primary class or occupation.

	There is a type of class called General, but holders are not endowed with combat
	ability at the drop of a hat, rather it’s a class which a person potentially
	acquires during their livelihood.
	Skilled craftsmen are talented well, because their General class is high.
	But General classes are weak/frail classes.
	For example, a Lv. 8 Emperor is not endowed with combat ability equal to a
	Lv. 8 soldier in comparison.
	Is the combat ability 1/5 or 1/2 the standard?

	In short let us consider a Legend[densetsu]-class Farmer. Their Farmer Job
	Level is 10, Master Farmer Job Level is 10, and Fighter Job Level is 6.
	...well it’s a difference in combat ability.
	These General classes contribute to the Level Limit as well.
	If the Level Limit [Lv. cap] is 20 Levels for a person, and they have 10 Levels in
	the Farmer Job class. It can be calculated that they can acquire only 10 more
	Levels.

	For a digression, Renner-san Lower [inferior] class is abnormally high. Or
	how should I put it, her Top [primary/surface] class is abnormally low?
	If that is the case, does this Farmer hold every Farmer skill?
	That is a difficult question to answer when asked.
	Maruyama has only vaguely thought about it, he needs to earnestly devote
	some thinking in that case.
	Considering the 10 Levels of life spent, I feel you need to understand that it is
	difficult to acquiring an additional 1 Level.
	It’s something like that.

Q:
	For classes labeled (Average), their combat ability is largely taken away/minus
	and in exchange without exception they receive positive compensation [for
	getting poorer combat stats]? Ordinary Farmer in comparison to their combat
	ability being inferior the results from their agricultural [work] is high.

A:

	Your phrasing isn’t the correct interpretation, the Farming technical skill they
	have is that of a Farmer from a Farming ( main occupation). Farmers don’t
	hold a Kitchen Gardening person’s (a hobbyist’s) image is that easy to understand?

	Farmer level 1: Choose one out of 15 options of Farmer benefits & speed of
	plowing the earth + 5% increase (passive)

	Farmer level 2: Harvest of agricultural products + 5% increase (passive)

	Farmer level 3: Choose one out of 15 options of Farmer benefits & Farmer’s
	faito : Once a day (for the duration of one hour, halve the fatigue of agricultural
	work)

	-MNH (credits for letting me know about this and TL these stats)

	They obtain those kind of abilities ([is that] too vague?), compared to an identical
	farmer a Farmer[class holder] technical skill they possess has a feeling
	of being higher. The combat ability of a Lv. 1 Farmer and a person possessing
	technical skill, the Farmer is somewhat stronger. Well it’s the difference
	between a Lv. 0 and a Lv. 1 (Lv. 1 Farmer). Although they only differ by a few
	percentage points. A super powerful farming soldier may turn out like Lv. 7
	(Lv. 2 Fighter, Lv. 5 Farmer). They’re Lv. 7, but they are weaker in comparison
	to a Lv. 7 Fighter.
[Blog]

So it appears Maru in his head at least doesn't quite use the 5 level rubric of Sword World, but they do function somewhat similar linking to time in a field as well as quality in the class. The quality of acquisition of skills in a class may affect the speed in a which a Normal class is gained, as suggested by Tsuare going at least several months as a Slave for 2 levels and an undisclosed amount of time for Maid.

The length of time is likely unknown as of now, however, think any reader would question why Tsuare's number of classes compared to Neia and Enri is so drastic with Neia being confirmed to have gained many classes during the war and after dying in a span of around a similar time frame as Enri. Was it purely the difference between combat? However, we know that Tsuare was beaten and maimed during this time for Slave so that certainly complicates the discussion.



=========

So Maru said that it's "impossible" for NPCs to use Martial Arts for some secret reason. Yet, NPCs can do things that do not have an equivalent YGGDRASIL class. Likewise, for some reason Ainz cannot learn Tier 0 magic and New Worlders do not count as Players for Dark Wisdom[need to re-find citation]. The odd thing is the overlap between the flavor text of the NPCs and the Normal classes. The most clear is Tsuare's Maid(Normal) class and the natural ability of the Homunculi maids. If we disregard the programming actions of the maids, both Demiurge and Albedo have pure flavor text that gives them crafting abilities.

Q:
	I was rereading the previous volumes in anticipation of Volume 13, but
	I had a question. Although Tsuare possesses a Maid class, the Ordinary
	Maids are able to perform their duties without problem without any skills.
	Is there some reason for this? Please ignore if it is a spoiler.
A:
	It’s lengthy to talk about however, if one were to speak of the reason
	(omitted in the middle) so it can be done. Connected to that the New
	World’s job [classes] (omitted in the middle) because for example the Job
	called Slave (omitted in the middle). Connected to this is the case of Slave,
	there is [only] 1 Level then (omitted in the middle) so the girl could make
	a living. [Twitter]

As you can see, from what we know there is something linked between these Normal classes and enabled flavor text.

Another is the time until a Normal class level is gained. Compared to YGGDRASIL or combat classes, they take longer it appears either due to lack of combat or on principle by being different as seen in Sword World.

This effort-based gain rather than pure point-based gain may be connected to the Martial Art's acquisition and spell development.
For spells, it's described that

	"Magic doesn’t seem like the sort of thing you can learn in one or two days.
	Well, you need to connect to the world, but only people with the appropriate
	talent can do it. If not, you’ll need to take a long time to experience it."[V2]

	“It’s something different. Mah, if it is a magic caster better than me he
	may be able to understand something. The highest magic casters are
	able to detect their opponent’s magic ability better.”

	“. . . . . .What does that mean?”

	“Ah, we magic casters have something like a magic aura made by our
	magic power, and it surrounds our body. The better one becomes at
	magic, the ability to sense it also increases. That and controlling the
	amount of magic power.”

	“. . . . . . Heh”

	Restraining his deepening voice, Momon replied with a not suspicious
	normal voice. It seemed that Momon did not have that ability. He could
	not feel anything of the sort from Ninya. No, was it possible to even feel
	it?[WN]

Evileye and Nasrene describe being able to sense magical aptitude.

	"You can’t discern magical talent at a glance. At the very least, they’ll need to
	go through a lot of magical training before I can roughly understand whether
	or not they can use magic. In addition, that’s only for arcane magic. If those
	brats are talented at spiritualism or divine magic instead, I won’t be able to
	see anything."

	"Hmm but what you want to know is whether they have talent or not, right,
	Hime-sama? If it’s me, I can watch their movements, but how about you, Evileye?"

	"Ah, I’ll level with you. You can’t fathom a person’s depths just by seeing them
	carry out a few exercises. Magical ability is more internal than external. In addition,
	I might seem like a genius when it comes to magical ability, but that’s all
	there is. I don’t have the abilities of that great magic caster from the Empire."

	"So, identifying talents—"

	"Talents, huh," Renner sighed. "It would be a big help if we could identify
	them during childhood. It would also help soften the nobles’ stubbornness
	toward the commoners too."

	"Then, how about setting up a universal identification system for talents in
	children? There are 3rd-tier spells which can verify the presence or absence
	of a talent. However, if you want a full picture of what that talent might be,
	you’d probably need a higher-tiered spell …well, in the end it’s just an idle
	conjecture."

	"Really? Can you really identify talents?"

	"Well, I don’t know what that sparkle in your eyes is for, but don’t get your
	hopes up. I’ve heard there’s a 3rd-tier spiritualist-only spell which can verify if
	someone before the caster’s eyes has a talent. That said, even if there was such
	a spell, the troublesome part would come after that. You’d need to learn how
	to properly develop that talent. And it’s also quite likely that after expressing
	that talent, it’ll end up being a meaningless ability."
	[V10]



============

Shit for Ziggy Later

	In YGGDRASIL, one could normally only learn three spells per level. A level
	20 character would thus be able to learn a maximum of 60 spells. It would be
	quite difficult to incorporate anti-divination magic into such a limited selection
	of spells. Perhaps those who were not in the know might think 60 was a sizable sum, but
	if Ainz was limited to 60 spells from the 3rd tier of magic, he would probably
	have to spend all day worrying over his choices.[V10]

	He put himself in the role of the people who brainwashed Shalltear. If they
	used the methods Ainz used, then—
	In the worst-case scenario, they might use [Ia Shub-Niggurath] on the Imperial
	Capital. Everyone would think I did it, regardless of the actual culprit …Then,
	they would spread that news throughout the world. That would greatly decrease
	the Sorcerous Kingdom’s influence.
	Ainz recalled his YGGDRASIL days.
	It was foolish to directly fight a powerful guild, so it was quite common to instigate
	wars with other guilds to weaken the powerful guild’s influence. These
	methods would probably be applicable here. Ainz would probably do so if
	placed in that situation, and so it was very likely his foe would do the same
	thing.[V10]

"That said, I only know a little bit about magic. Perhaps countries which trained
magic casters on a national level could create spells like that. The Slaine Theocracy
has academies for clerics divine magic casters, while the Empire has
institutes which produce their arcaners, sorcerers, wizards, and other arcane
magic casters. Then there’s places like the Agrand Republic, which uses something
like the spells born of the wisdom of the dragons."

"If it’s convenient for you …would you like to meet my master? Master’s talent
lies in detecting an individual’s magical power. If you were born with
magical potential, Master should be able to sense it. When it comes to arcane
magic casters, Master can even differentiate between them by the tiers
of magic which they can cast."

"I’ve been meaning to ask for a while …is that talent the same as the one possessed
by the Empire’s head magician?"

"Yes, it’s the same talent."

Ainz could not let information like this slip through his hands. He had to continue
asking about it.

"...What is this ability like?"

"Ahh, according to Master, we magic casters radiate something like an aura
from our bodies. The more adept one becomes in magic, the stronger this
aura becomes. Master has the ability to see these auras."

“Let’s see. Firstly you need to find a good teacher?”

“After?”

“Afterwards? Mah, you cannot proceed without a teacher, but afterwards
you should carve a contracted medium.”

“A contracted medium?”

“Eh. A special medium which you have contracted with, and engraved
with special magic equations. You can use the magic from the your force
of will.”

“Is Ninya holding one?”

“Eh. Mine is a grimoire.”

He pointed at the bag he was carrying.

“. . . . . .Can that grimoire be used by anyone?”

“Ahaha. It’s impossible, Momon-san. The person that can extract power
from the medium, is only the one who has formed a contract. And so
Momon-san holding my grimoire cannot use it.”

“Is that so, a pity.”

Momon resisted the desire to click his tongue.

“Mah, there are many people that steal the magic inside the medium
though.”

“Is that so?”

“Eh.”

“. . . . . . If that is the case then I have no choice but to steal magic?”

“That is not true.” Ninya replied to Momon’s dangerous words with a
smile on his face. “You can buy scrolls with magic inside the Guild. And
you can use them to transfer mediums. And if you search, you can find
adventurers that would sell them at reasonable prices. Occasionally,
adventurers have a chance of holding onto rare or recently made magic
rather than the Guild.”

Anyway was it possible to gain magic in this world? Paying money for
scrolls were probably the safest method. However, the problem was
what to do if the price of scrolls were too high.
A pain.

If Momon had received permission to move freely from Ainz, he would
have killed them and stolen it. However, he did not receive that permission.
That would be the same as ignoring an order from his Supreme
One.

Momon breathed a sigh in his heart.
A troublesome problem. Not being able to use brute force to solve
everything was very irritating.

“—-How many spells one can inscribe depends on one’s magical ability.
I can use 35 spells. I have learnt 20 from my master and have bought
15 others.”

Why do undead not spawn around Nazarick, the Sorcerous Kingdom, or during the Empire's undead labor experiments?

Answer: Due to the difference in "frame", undead created by spells or skills do NOT count as normal undead. This may seem odd, but recall that quote about the Goblins: they are not beings of the New World or YGGDARSIL. So only TRUE New World undead may have the Negative Energy spawning thing, so Fluder's undead in his experiments and Ainz's large quanity do not have the same Negative Energy genesis system.

	That was because people opposed it — in particular, the factions led by the
	priests. They believed that creating undead, creatures of death which hated
	life, was an act which stained the soul.
	There were also problems from a religious perspective.
	They used the corpses of criminals to make undead, but the religious point
	of view was that a criminal’s sin was paid off with the execution of their sentence.
	Going any further would be a form of blasphemy, and convincing then
	otherwise was a very difficult task.[V7]

With Iguva who appears to be an Adventurer turned Lich we see no traces of his human personality and with Vampire Brain we know the consciousness is altered by being turned into a new being if other skills like Vampirism are used. So there is some effect on the soul at least. The difference in "frame" could explain this though, undead made by Tier Magic or skills would not be being of just YGGDRASIL or just of the New World.

Basically, undead who have a New World Frame have the ability to create undead through that Negative Energy of Spiral of Death (see Katze Plains). Undead made by Tier magic , Ainz, and Shalltear follow this weird convention of not being New World beings alone and thus not New World "frames".

ログホラTRPGをやる。七つ滝を干す竜を倒したところでタイムアップ。次回、最終戦らしい。
うちのD&DのGMは「今日中にダンジョンを攻略しないと謎の大爆発でダンジョンが崩壊する」というセリフを（終わらせるために）言うが、ログホラのGMはそんなことは言わないから、安心して次回に挑めるね！

Q:
 きたきたついに来ました!!! アルベドTシャツからアルベドの匂いがしなくて少し残念です 今から読ませていただきます!! 丸山さんありがとうございます。これからも頑張ってください
A:
ありがとうです！　でもアルベドの香りはアインズ専用です！
Q:
１０巻読了。アインズ様の状況での国家経営となると人材の発掘と育成でしょうね。守護者達では人間に対しての考え方に問題ありなので。各種族から人材を集めるとうまくいきそうな？
A:
うーん。一番はアインズがあの二人に、こういった物を目指しているという話をすべきですね。そうしないと「顧客が本当に欲しかったもの」みたいになっちゃいそうです。

6-3-2016
Q:
Web版は投稿しないのですか？
A:
最低でも11巻の作業が終わらないと無理だね。その前に小説家になろうの方はどうなるか不明だし、どうしようかね。
Q:
10巻面白かったです！！深い考えは無さげなアインズ様と、深読みし過ぎて苦悩するジルクニフのギャップが可笑しく笑わせて貰いました。アルベドやラナーの何か思惑がありそうな感じも気になりますね、次も楽しみです。あとプレアデスの出番が増えますようにw。
A:
……（手元の原稿を見て）……オオ、ソウダネ！　ツギノカンデハデバンガキットアルヨ！

オーバーロードの人気投票が始まりますが、 ナザリックより守護者連名で「モモン様、モモンガ様、鈴木悟様に一位以外の順位を付けるのは甚だ不敬である」という連絡が届きました。ですので、全員まとめてあります。 注意の程よろしくお願いします。

Q:
韓国の読者です。エンリにゴブリン軍団が与えられたこととエランテルにゴブリン軍団が入居したことを後でNPC( 特にデミウルゴス）が果たしてアインズ様！と感心することになりますか?
A:
帝国の属国化ほどじゃないかも。あれで感心のレベルが上がったから。

Q:
丸山さん、再度10巻読んでいて最後の作者コメントに国家運営に対しての意見募集のコメントあったので、コメントします。 国家運営と言ったら、某廃人ゲームのシヴィライゼーションをプレイしてみたら、どうでしょうか？オススメです。非常に勉強になります。
A:
シヴィライゼーションは丸山のような馬鹿には楽しめないゲームでした……。でも、ボードゲームの奴をやってみたいね！

誰だって最初から傑作を書くことは無理なんだ。こんな話を読んでみたいという妄想を文章にしたものでいいんだ！

Q:
Do you know Any English?
A:
No, I don't.

Q:
アニメ化前からのファンです！ 丸山先生に質問なのですが、これから握手会やサイン会などをやる予定はありますか？ 是非一度お会いしたいです！
A:
会社には知られると不味いので、情報が漏れることを警戒して絶対にしないです。申し訳ないです。……丸山の顔を見たいのでしたら、ネットで「豚」で検索すると幾らでも見れますよ！

Q:
こんばんわ！丸山くがねちゃん先生 ふと 考えたのですが, ギガントバジリスクとデスナイト の大きさが同じと仮定した場合どちらがやっかいですか? (この場合の大きさはデスナイトの大きさと同じ場合です)
A:
デスナイトが大きくなることでレベルも上がるなら、デスナイトじゃない？


夢が叶う人は、個人的に思うんですけど能力以上に幸運の数値が高い気がします。夢が叶ってない人は実力じゃなくて、少し幸運が足りてないだけじゃないかな……。あ、桁外れの実力がある人は例外だよ？

ただ、夢を目指す人は絶対にパラシュートはつけておこうな！　はっきり言って人生は長いぞ！　年取った自分を想像しておくことは必要かも……。

小説家になろうから書籍化する人、おめでとう。でもここはゴールじゃないぞ？　新しい始まりだ！　みんなの前に待つのは累計十位内級がゴロゴロし、シビアな目で判断される地獄だからな！　その覚悟は持っておくんだぞ！

小説家になろうから書籍化を目指す人、頑張れ！　でも絶対にパラシュートは着用するんだぞ！　川原先生とか佐島先生は現在のラノベピラミッドの頂点だぞ？　いうなれば現総理とかそういうレベルだ。……この人たちを基準に考えちゃいけないからな？　……いや、流石にそんな人いないか。

ねんどろいどアインズを貰ったので、今度のＤ＆Ｄの俺のフィギュアに使おうと思ったんだけど……でかい！　これ！　超大型だ！
人間の魔法使いには使えないなぁ。リミテッドウィッシュからサイキックエクスパンションは可能だったっけ？　そこにエンラージパースンを重ねるとかできたっけ？
まぁ、そこまで無理しないで我慢しなさいと言うことだね。でももらったアルベドの方は行ける！

ちなみに人間の国が複数あるように、ビーストマンの国も複数あります。大陸中央にあるビーストマンの国と、竜王国を襲ってるビーストマンの国は別物だよ！
大陸中央まで結構距離あるからね！　オーバーロードの現在の舞台はぶっちゃけ辺境だよ！
そこまで話が伝わっている某賢者さんは凄い知名度を持っていて、大陸中央だと知らない人の方がほとんどいないよ！
あの賢者さんはある牧場で凄い美味しい肉を食べさせてもらって感動したことがあるらしいよ。でも生涯、二度とその食材は食べなかったらしいね！　最初の頃は食べたくて転げまわったらしいよ！

Q:
例えば個人趣味でオーバーロードの同人文を創作する場合、主人公であるオリキャラが大陸に飛ばされたタイミングはアインズ様よりも十数年早い、さらにその後かつて戦いたことのあるアインズ様の名を聞いて接触するのを極力避けるのはどうですか？
A:
そのキャラらしい行動を取るのが一番だよ。

Q:
返信ありがとう！スレイン法国は完全な宗教国家でしょうか？貴族や領主などという者は存在しますか？
A:
いないといえばいない。いるといえばいる。外部にはいないということになってます。

ネット小説読んでいた時の様々な妄想の積み重ねだから、年月を指定するのは難しいね。

3-1-2017
Q:
そういえば、二十のほかにも使用回数制限がある世界級アイテムがあるというニュアンスだったんですが とにかく1回用は二十だけのことでいいでしょうか。
A:
違います。20以外のワールドアイテムにも一度しか使えないものもあります。カロリックストーンが良い例ですね。

3-5-2017
Horizon Zero Dawnとブレス オブ ザ ワイルドやりたいのー。

3-17-2017
というわけで、オーバーロードの二期が制作決定ということになりました！！！ わー、ドンドンパフパフー。 丸山のようなクズは置いておくとして、これも関わってくださった方々のおかげだと思っております。

ザイザル飲むと眠くなるね……。
でもこれ飲むと、結構、効くんだよなぁ。
寝る前に飲むから良いけど、これ日中に飲んだらやばいよね。でも痒いのと眠いの、どっちを選ぶと聞かれたらなぁ。
布団が干せる時期が来るのが待ち遠しいです！
Q:
花粉症のバッドステータスは辛いものですよね…… バレアレ氏にはこの対策ポーションを至急制作頂きませんと……！

若い方のバレアレ氏二人はもっと別の事に頑張っているようなので、無理じゃないかな？　年よりは回復の方だし

今日、山形県鮭川村からふるさと納税のさくらんぼが届いたけど、今までで一番駄目なさくらんぼだった。というかほとんどが痛んでる。
スイカとか、リンゴとか、マンゴーとか当たりは最高です。
ふるさと納税って結構おいしいのが多いから、ここまで外れると落差百倍。

人間の男子、28カ月で体重12キロぐらい。対して牛が700キロ。高級食材という部類になるのかなぁ。
果物だけを食べさせて、か……。
珍味かぁ。牛が食べる量などを考えるとどうなんだろう？　自分たちで食べ物を作らせるなどしたら費用対効果は……。どうにかして牧場の黒字化を……。
9-6-2017
むむ。勘違いしている人がいるみたいだから言っておくけど、昨日の話はデミウルゴス関係ないよ。あれは大陸中央の方の人間が食料となっている国の話だよ？
デミウルゴスの牧場は交配実験とかそういった実験関係をメインにやっているんで、食料にするための生産とかはまだやってないよ！　あとどんなことをしているかは12巻で分かるよ。


9-24-2017
デミウルゴスとアウラとマーレとコキュートス。表紙に最後まで登場しないのは誰だろう……。
