[Introduction] The Holy Kingdom of Roble, led by Holy Princess Karka, has enjoyed a peaceful era, protected by its vast walls. However, this peace is suddenly shattered by the invasion of the Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth and the Demi-human Allied Forces.

Led by Commander Remedios of the Holy Knights and Commander Keralt of the Priests, the Holy Kingdom mustered its forces to fight back, but they were powerless against the overwhelming difference in power between them and Jaldabaoth, and the nation was on the brink of collapse.

Seeking strength to oppose Jaldabaoth, Remedios accompanied his own Holy Knights and his servant Neia and headed to a certain nation to ask for help. The name of that nation was the Sorcerer Kingdom of Ainz Ooal Gown. It was a strange nation ruled by the undead, loathed by the people of the Holy Kingdom.
