After 12 years of playing his favorite MMORPG, Momonga logged in one last time only to find himself transported into its world and play it indefinitely. Throughout his adventures, his avatar is elevated to the title of Witch-King Ains Ooal Gown.
Once prosperous but now on the brink of ruin, the Holy Kingdom enjoyed many years of peace after building a massive wall that protected them from neighboring invasions. However, one day, this ended when Demon Emperor Jaldabaoth arrived with an army of vicious demihumans.
Fearing an invasion of their lands, the neighboring territory of the Slane Theocracy was forced to appeal to their enemies in the Sorcerer Kingdom for help. Heeding the call, Momonga, now known as the Witch-King Ains Ooal Gown, rallied the Witch-Kingdom and its undead army to join the battle alongside the Sacred Realm and the Slane Theocracy in the hope of defeat the Demon Emperor.
