[Mass for the Dead] Quick and Dirty Synopsis

so what is the actual plot of this game? i've only read snippets of the storyline like Naz gets assaulted numerous nations to the east have fallen but very little else

Momonga comes to NW but every thing goes wrong and everyone from Nazarick got nerfed.

are you (the player) fighting against some massive invasion or some shit?

Dumb mysterious monsters come from nowhere and fucked everything up too.

You can say it's an invasion. No one really knows in universe.

so it is a retelling of Vol.1 where Ainz & crew aren't lv.100 op?

They're trying to figure it out but lots of nations got fucked.

Nope.

Thi sis the Momonga doesn't pretend to be perfect route.

He leaves most things up to the NPCs.

It's that bad.

IE Ainz is priortizing Nazarick's safety in a sesne. He also doen'st go out since the situation is t;hat dire. Basicaly anyone from YGGDRASIL is half their original strenght is the rough estimate.

ok i see

Cocytus was trying to find a way to regain his strength but it was slow going.

Several others are investiging the surroudnings and these monsters.

That's why Solution and Sebas go adventureur.

In the mean time your character is trying to form ties with the other nations. IE NAzarick isn't confident they can win alone.

so does it follow main canon story or is it a total re-telling from a specific volume?

This is basically We're All In This Together Route.

The Perfect ENd from a build your RPG team perspective.

Total retlelling.

kk

Nazarick runs into Sunlight Scripture but they all work together basically.

Pretty much no one is dead.Well anyone we know pretty much. I think Enri lost an arm but we haven't seen punishd Enri yet.

Right now the Big Three Nations still around are having asummit to work together to not die like the other nations.

The main character is some random nobody manservant guy who is now the Diplomat for Nazarick. Slimeko follows him around but no one knows where she came from. Basically he's the one 'building' the team like the Master in FGO. The crossovers dont' really matter to the core plot but not much has honestly happened in it. The latest events are the most interesting shit.I like seeing Momonga be himself with Nazarick at least, t's basically like the WN route where he's not as active but he's closer to Side STory Satoru. Probably a mix in tone of those.

In terms of power scalign basically the levels of YGGDRASIL no longe requal the levels of the New World. Using the rought estimate, a Level 50 New Worlder is a Levle 100 Being's equal now. Basically the best Mercs or Floor Guardians are now at best Pleaides tier in the New World if that helps visualize the discrepancy.

It's basically just an excuse to explain why Nzarick can't solo rofltstomp all the problems away and why they're playing nice now. I wouldnt' think too much on it, but it'llprobably end up being related to why the Random Monsters are being summoned every where.

Each character sidestory is split between what they were doign in certain parsts of the story (the Sunlight Scripture guy's story is basically giving a POV of what the whole SS squad is doign and then a growign schism between the members who are being typical sneaky shits and the ones who think it's cool to hang out with other races and stuff). Nazarick POVs run the gambit too from training, investigaitng, tryign new shit, or random event stuff like some random monster thing appears and you get cock teased on what the fuck is going on.

The thing I found most interesting was the original characters myself just because they're pretty varied so far. They probably will always be non canon though rip.

I'm glossing over a lot but basically no one really knows much so they're all running around trying to either prepare defenses or alliances or so on to fight back agains the random spawn monstesr of purple jello apocalypse.

Since E-Rantel isa massive fortress and it's the meeting point, all three nations commit forces there to try to make a stronghold in the event any of their nations fall since several nations around here are already gone. IIRC as you would expect Kingdom and Empire are having a rought time too, E-Rantel is only still around because Clementine was there and protected it. So right now the SS are there tob olster it, while the Empire sent Fluder's disciple Zofie as a similar show of good will. I thin kit comes up each nation is diong this so that in the event things go really bad, they can evacuate to E-Rantel and the other two nations can step up and cover their mass retreat since the Jello Monsters typcally kill to the last man and don't accept surrender.

Right now the big summit is to formulate a grand alliance basically and also to share information etc abbout what to do since the world and each nation has gotten pretty fucked up so far. Slaine's being a bit weird though since a few nutjobs like Nigun think this is all just a big Rapture type event from the gods to weed out the non believers and so on. Other people like Raymond or Ian are more sane. But I think that's why Slaine hasn't been more active? Things are fucked but not SUPER fucked if you have around hero ranked or 4th tier people. There are some really strong monsters of course but in general that's a rough gauge of the threat they face right now.

Internatinally, Agrande and Draconic are just gone, they didn't make it. For some reason. I don't remember Roble ever comign up, but the CIty STate Alliance is still hanging on and JIrcniv was tryign to get them on his team (it comes up at some point he went there first since they'll get stomped faster than Slaine or Re Estize so he's tryign to get them before they get poofed too). I think Slaine was taking things so slow because they thoguht this might be anothe rPlayer wave or something so they were very cautious. Re Estize is just re - estizeand is pretty out of touch?

The core plot really only just made progres but you get lots of new character interactions and some off hand lore in the game. Really though it's all an excuse for everyone to get along and so on.

The OCs so far are :

 MC Book Nerd Diplomat Ikemen main character

Mysterious loli autistic slime girl

Sunlight Scripture Dude Bro With a Heart of Gold (3rd Tier caster)

Slime Otaku Fluder's big tiddie disciple (4th Tier caster)

Totally Not a WN reference I swear Demon, someone Demiurge actually has insightful convos with

GraveLord Nito, a well mannered and polite man in the body of a Dark Soul boss

Theocracy pretty boy with an agenda  [non playable]

And Bean Paste Boss Man of Destruction (due to New Year gifts)[non playable] 

That's the general gist of it all? I've only skimmed a lot fo shit though and didn't read through everything with a fine tooth comb.

I probably made it sound more exciting or boring. It's just like any other alternate canon game they make for certain franchises that uauslaly were only on the Gameboy or DS back in the day. AT least in tone or script.
