One-shot Overlord: Cain of Ainz Ooal Gown
I don't own Overlord
Note: Suzuki's avatar is named Cain not Momonga due to his character background which is a meshed up of several stories/origins of Cain… also HeroHero arrived and left much earlier than in cannon
Suzuki Satoru smiled by which I mean he sent an emoji as he spoke with HeroHero, one of his few friends who had replied to his email, and much to his joy HeroHero still had a bit of his personality with him despite his rather bleak and difficult work life.
"I am so sorry for spilling all of this on you Cain I know this probably isn't what you wanted to talk about or hear but I swear its like they are trying to wear me down…I feel like my avatar looks!" stated HeroHero in exasperation while raising one of his sludge like arms.
Cain again sent a smile emoji as he replied "It ok I understand however I would recommend going to a doctor it sounds pretty bad." this was followed by a sweat/awkward smiley face emoji.
HeroHero sent his own smile emoji before speaking again "I'm sorry but think that I am going to turn in for the night Cain I am practically falling asleep here."
Suzuki frowned in his seat however as expected his avatar's expression didn't change but he sent another smiley face "I understand." as he said this Suzuki mental hoped his friend would stay at least for a bit longer but the man just sent one more emoji a sad smiley and promptly logged off leaving Cain alone in the large council room.
Cain felt anger and slammed his fist against the council room table he couldn't understand it they all left so easily after all the effort put into their guild and characters only to throw it all away…Cain quickly reminded himself that they didn't just abandon him and the game on a whim they had lives and dreams outside of the game that they wanted to live and achieve but that didn't mean that they should just ignore all the time and effort they put into this world.
Cain took a slow breath and calmed himself before he got up from his seat and walked to a large golden staff which could change its form to become a sword, again like his character it was a decision made and agreed upon by the guild as it was made to be Cain's own weapon.
It was made just as Cain abandoned his Momonga persona and the guild decided that it should be able to change to match him increasing his skills and abilities based on whatever form it was in the staff increased his magic abilities and the sword his physical even if the change ability had a 3 minute cool down but all the same the weapon of his guild the staff of Ainz Ooal Gown was an incredibly powerful item made by the guild capable of even some programmer level abilities...it had never actually been used and thus Cain decided that he would take it with him
After exiting the council room Cain came across a string of maids and an elderly looking man all wearing very finely detailed cloths Cain gave them the command to follow as he moved not looking back as he moved knowing that the string of servants were following.
After a few moments Cain and the servants made it to the throne room and paused allowing the giant doors to open before they entered and Cain moved to the throne room and sat after dismissing the servants to the side with the command to stand ready.
Cain then took notice of Albedo one of the three sister characters created by Tabula Smaragdina Cain then began reading through her flavor text and found that she would have made for a great girlfriend if not wife except for the final line in the dialog box "…and she is also a slut."
Cain couldn't keep his cool and in a moment of exasperation used his guild's staff's abilities to alter the text changing it to "she loves Cain." and while he was on a roll with his changes Cain called for the rest of Tabula's creations and after a quick read through (read as skimmed all the way to the bottom) Cain found that Rubedo's flavor text also shared Albedo's slut text.
Thus Cain repeated his previous rewriting duo to not wanting to change too much else not having much of an idea of what to replace it with this one in particular made Cain's stomach drop a little as Rubedo's appearance was that of a child almost on par with Mare and Aura or possibly even Shalltear.
However Nirgredo despite her frightening appearance was the most normal and had no…interesting extras after his changes were made Cain had them stand to the side and bow with the servants after some time in the silence alone Cain began reminiscing the past of Ainz Ooal Gown in its prime as well as his start into the game and his now unique avatar.
Flashback
Suzuki had originally been started as an elder lich and he had almost religiously been PKed again and again so often that he had honestly considered dropping the game completely but he was saved by Touch Me who introduced him to his first friends in-game which eventually lead to him joining their guild of Nine's Own Goal headed by Touch Me himself.
Many fun times were had and many more friends were gained but eventually the guild of Nine's Own Goal was disbanded and Ainz Ooal Gown was raised in its stead with the still elder lich Suzuki as the leader it was only some time as head of the guild when Ainz came into possession of a particular item.
See the members of Ainz Ooal Gown had been block from accessing a mine that they had laid claim to for a month by another guild presumably through the use of a powerful item thus Ainz Ooal Gown attacked and raided gaining ahold of the item Ouroboros.
At first Suzuki wanted to use the item to improve the guild itself but at the insistence of his guild mates he used it for himself and after a bit of thought and again clearing it with his guild mates he used Ouroboros to request that he be allowed to make his own unique Character/race.
The game developers took a while to reply but when they did the requested that they would allowed to monitor and give advice as to make sure that he didn't create a character/race of God mode creatures as well as provide lore or generate new lore for his creation.
After some time and some haggling between himself and the game developers he ended up with his current character and the with all the powers, abilities, and base stats of his character the game developers gave him an ultimatum he could give up all of his current levels and avatar and start over or he could give up on some of the more extreme abilities.
Suzuki again after running it passed the guild agreed to sacrifice his avatar and all his levels for his new creation much to the shock of the game developers whom in a moment of generosity gave him a hidden skill which only activated after reaching level 70 Monstrous Mutation: by devouring (Defeating) a monster/opponent the user permanently unlocks a free Job or Racial level slots with one of the monster's/opponent's job or racial skills within which doesn't affect the users main selected Racial levels/Jobs levels but can be leveled up the same way.
Granted they didn't tell him about it and it took forever and an age but by the time he was level one hundred again he had renamed himself Cain he had more job/racial levels he particularly went out of his way to obtain rare and powerful jobs/racial and due to his unique skill it was possible to have them all equipped at the same time needless to say he had been reported for cheating on many occasions.
But the ones who complained were quickly shot down by the game developers and resolved to find Ouroboros themselves and make their own unique and powerful creation but of course Cain's friends found it again and put it away in the vault for a 'rainy' day.

Flashback finished
Needless to say Cain decided to give go at being a magic knight and with all of the added job/racial levels he became borderline unstoppable on any battlefield be it PVP or Player vs Game.
With him in the lead and in the front lines the Guild of Ainz Ooal Gown became one of the most popular, powerful, and well known guild in the entire game.
Cain shifted in his chair and pulled himself from his memories just in time to see the clock in the corner of his vision approached 10 seconds.
"Well Yggdrasil it's been fun…in fact it's been a blast." said Cain to the open air before closing his eyes and mentally counting down waiting for the automatic log out to kick him but after a solid thirty seconds Cain opened his eyes and saw the hall of his guild.
At first Cain thought perhaps that the game developers had pushed back the shutdown but there was no message and he couldn't see his HP or MP anymore thus he tried to use the message function on the consul to get in contact with the the developers with the GM call function and when he found that he couldn't access and or use said consul Cain spoke "What the hell?!"
Cain immediately froze when another voice responded to his "My lord?"
