Those who can order from Amazon Japan will get it delivered right at said date. Or if you live in US and still able to order, estimated delivery date is from June 3rd - 4th. The focus of this volume will deal with the aftermath of Vol 9 as well as wrapping things up in the Empire. Specifically, the conspiracy among nations to plot against Ainz will be one of the focus here. Predicted this Volume is the buffer for the Dwarf Kingdom Arc next Vol Overlord volume 10: Ruler of Schemes (lit. scheme of sovereign) Abyss of the Supreme ruler Emperor Ainz has decided to govern and shape the Sorcery kingdom into a utopia. An ever prosperous world with many races all kneeling to Ainz. The first objective of Ainz is to strengthen the Adventurers' association as well as the adventurers themselves. For this, Ainz looks towards the empire. Meanwhile, the leaders of the other nations are perplexed by the sudden rise of the sorcery kingdom and so they start planning counter-measures. Ainz has started doing as much as possible for his undying (immortal/indestructible?) kingdom. What will be the repurcussions of his first move? Finally, the curtains rise on this next chapter. Source: http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:33786 Post ID: 222.165.98.144 1, in Maruyama's heart it is still winter, in his heart it is now 16th months of 2015 so he didn't lie about realeasing volume ten in winter 2, he was originally planning to write the aftermath in 50 pages within the dwarf arc, the aftermath story now increased to over 500 pages alone. if he can't cut it down under 500 pages the book will get more expensive. 3, he has not given up on the web novel, he want to at least finish the empire arc in the web novel. Given if he has any free time in between (which sadly he currently has none) 4, he said if he didn't lay this much foundation to the story it's gonna be harder to write as the story progress as well as increase in plot holes. So this volume serves as a smooth transition to the Dwarf Arc in volume 11 5. the special edtion of volume ten is gonna be sold on ebten, which will include a special T-shirt and some bonus 6. there is an overlord alarm app on the phone as well as a mini game. Minor trivia: fans comment they would buy Overlord even if the price change from 1000 to 2000 JPY Source: http://mypage.syosetu.com/mypageblog/view/userid/170524/blogkey/1390658/ Summary translation source: http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Nomad27/Predictions_of_what_will_Occur_in_Volume_10.#comm-34102 That's all the the information for now, feel free to discuss the hype of AINZ OOWN GOAL and, of course, the content of this new Vol when available |

The hype is real after that massacre. P.S. Most of the readers are crying and also in anger since Yen press ruined Christmas by lisencing Overlord last year. The best and probably fastest course of action would be to learn Japanese since it would take years for Yen Press to release vol. 10. Time to talk to some Japs :) |

Been watching for the release date of overlord volume 10 everyday for the last 6 months '-' I'm already excited to read the chapter titles in wikia xD http://overlordmaruyama.wikia.com/wiki/Overlord_Volume_10 I hope someone has time to write a detailed summary if not even a translation. I've saved a few links that might have translator willing to translate volume 10. I hope it works. There are plenty of spoilers in the comments section right now and short summaries. It's very interesting. It seems there are some dragonlords that actually know a few things about Players. |

Wow, this is crazy... Wayyy toooooo crazyyyyyyy... Vol 10 now settles at the second place the book raking on AmznJP but if you look slightly lower, you can see vol 11 (no image yet) is now at 7th place... And this is in the very general book ranking... Let's just ignore the fact that vol 11 has more than 3 times price vs vol 10 (¥ 3,456 vs ¥ 1,080) as vol 11 bundles with a BD special... yeah, let's ignore that... but it now gets the freaking SECOND PLACE in the LIGHT NOVEL section followed by, of cource, our vol 10 SAUSAGE AINZ-SAMA Ah, no full summary yet though, well most of the spoils on 4chan and animetsuki are true as far as read. This volume is huge, visually I thought for a sec it's bigger than vol 9. I'm now around 1/4 of chapter 1, getting impatient here, maybe gonna skip to chap 2 since c2 is about Baharuth Empire and I wanna see Jerky's reaction XD Btw, the official name for chapter 1 is: Ainz Ooal Gown Nation of Leading Darkness People who don't own raws may not know, but each chapter page of Overlord always have an English title on them. So don't ask if I translate the title myself because of the weird grammar structure |

Don't have enough time to read the whole thing, but I finally got down to skimming through it. And oh boys, the reaction is hilarious The whole volume can be summarized by one single phase: SASUGA AINZ-SAMA : Chapter 1: About Ainz freaking about himself being a suitable ruler or not as usual. Of course, his ability to BS through hardship is obviously has the same stats as his MP (through the roof). Evidence: He never got any idea how to handle national policy: going for a walk around the city => sudden inspiration upon entering Adventurer Guild. BS his way again into convincing the Guild Master into admiring him, now willing to join his plan to nurture Adventures to Explorers of the unknown willingly Chapter 2: Kingdom issues about the aftermath of the war. Typically Third Princess meeting Albedo with Climb and some members of Blue Rose. A little bit about Blue Rose leader try to resurrect Gazef but failed (only 5th tier spell vs Ainz's 9th tier), then got slapped(?) by king. Well, this is never explained in details, just a conversation about Princess apologized for her father (King) about injuring leader of Blue Rose, so not sure what kind of injury. Well, Evil Eye still fan-girling about Momon and worried about him under the Sorcery King's rule. Oh, they plan to resurrect the First Prince (yeah, the stupid douche attacked Carne village) and have Momon aid the Kingdom. Meet Albedo, some discussion going on. Albedo praised Ainz's insight (again) about the orphanage center set up (Ainz mention building some for children and Renner happen to build some too, not sure if connected to each other... yet). I could miss something else, though. Albedo (and Ainz?) finds some uses for Renner (hoho) Intermission: Slane Theocracy top brass having a meeting. Interesting insight about their orgonization, seems like there should be no corruption in the government at least. Anyway, everyone shit their pants when hearing Ainz's army has hundreads of Death Knights and Soul Eaters alone. Saying even Black Scripture stand no chance, but maybe 2 God-kins can handle the army. Seems to know a little about the Super-tier spells (called them 11th tier?). Ultimately, they decided not to make enemy of a godlike being and focus on gaining information in the Empire through the Emperor Chapter 3: Ainz personally going to Empire to recruit more adventurers by fighting in the Arena. Well, things happen and it's a total coincidence that Jircve and an agent of Slane having secret meeting in the area. Going in casually, Ainz greet Jircve and guy A knowing nothing XD. Agent thinks he's set up so left thinking Jircve sold out his humanity to the Undead King XXDDD. Jircve in distress, thinking everything's in Ainz's plan, concede defeat and ask to be a vassal state (VICTORY hahaha). Everything happened while Ainz enjoyed himself in the arena fighting the war troll and recruiting personnel. Almost forget Epilogue: Demiugre returned from the Holy Kingdom, planning something big there, just awaiting order for the final stage of the plan. Meeting with Albedo after some talk with Ainz about Albedo's room that allows no-one to enter. Some talk about who to pick to go with Ainz to Dwarf kingdom, Aura and Chair most likely since others are busy, especially Mare building dungeon near Lake area. A piece of paper asking to be vassal from Empire sitting on Ainz table => Ainz is confused => Albedo and Demiugre used praise => Ainz ride along lol. Deciding to vassal at least 10 countries around the area. Then Ainz left everything to them both while sightseeing Dwarf |

Nigel Sama to the rescue !! @Nezperdian that cover is freaking awesome, so jelly of you =3 Regarding CHAPTER 2...just started reading it; but god damnit!! Autor-sama going full normal plain MC character with Climb! A sword that can hurt Ainz from previous volumes... now a freaking watch that I'm more than sure can stop flow of time for a few seconds! Climb route is following to a point where he will inflict some injures (or even pull some bullshit miracle as I said i was fearing in previous volumes discussion ) against Ainz. |

So after pondering about part 3 of chapter 2 for a while, I was wondering if Hilma Philip Father haven't ever heard of her, she seems to be really pretty even being really slin... And she cant eat SOLIDS; the way she reacted after being asked why is kind of supsicious !! Fits with Sollution really well, being forbidden of eating any humans while she poses as an Re-Estize noblewoman. |

She was also tortured while she was at nazarick thats most likely the reason she cant eat. |

Ty for pointing it out. After just perusing over volume 6 and reading her description my memory had freshened. Lesson learned, next time I will check the wiki before spouting non sense theory's .-. |

Hey guys, a revelation just fall upon me: This is a volume about characters with stomach ache. In fact, this volume's title should be: Ruler of Ulcer (with Jerky being the winner) Evidence: Chap 1: (Ainz) I need to solve these three problems before negotiating with Ainzach. Still… it’s really hard to negotiate without any information at all. Ah~ my stomach aches. Chap 2: (Zanack when thinking about tributes) Zanack felt a slight pain pricking at his gut. Could discussing matters with his younger sister soothe that pain? (Hilma)Perhaps a gentle term like “frightening” would not be able to encompass the sheer terror that welled up from her stomach. She thought of fleeing with all her might as she imagined the hell that awaited her if she displeased them. Hilma felt something sour rising up from her stomach. Yet, at the same time, she wanted to let this fellow feel what it was like to have something squirming into his stomach. (Of course, the other members of Eigth Fingers also get honorable mention XD) Chap 3: (Ainz) As he considered this great task, which seemed like settling a claim by a difficult customer, his stomach began to ache. ...My stomach must hurt the worst of anyone in the Imperial Capital (lollllll) And anything about Jerky Spread the word ~ |

Amazing aftermath volume, this was originally meant to be a small 50 pages in the planned dwarf vol but got extended to a full vol and it was for the best. Albedo is training elder liches for secretarial duties so she can later on have more free time and she still cannot get momonga's intentions :( She's now looking for the mind control wci too, yeah that won't well. The recommendation for the orphanage looks like Yuri made it but I think it was actually Demiurge that wrote it, it coincides with Renner's plan as well. Raising talents should have been obvious, I can't believe nobody came up with it till now. Humanity is one foot into extinction and you don't make use of talents? :( Also Albedo approves of Renner and now she give him what might be a race changing item (my bet is a fallen angel) and one other thing to be given in the future. Evileye has a trump card capable of devastating a country. Philip XD XD XD Ainz finding out what he wants to do, make a utopia for all creatures and undead. He will still be the absolute leader and rule with an undead fist but he also wants the people to live happy lives while not being a threat to himself and nazarick. The plan to keep the growing population's power in check by restricting technology and knowledge while giving out outdated/false ones is lovely <3 One of the best moments in the series, his talk with Ainzich about what adventurers are is inspiring, that will lead to them heading out further into their own continent and to the other continents. What a shock, the Slaine Theocracy are semi good guys :O That human supremacist attitude could not be helped since it's easier to get people to fight that way, but it's still a waste to alienate the peaceful monsters too. The temples also have great influence since they are mentioned alot of times in this vol, maybe ainz will use them to train healers. Fluder gets a book of the dead Yggdrasil setting book in Japanese XD Maybe the things in it are true since the world's system has been set to Yggdrasil magic. Jirvic has been out keikaku'd and he pushes to Ainz to make the Empire a vassal state, in the end it's a good move, he still keeps reigning as the empire and now gets Ainz's protection. Silver Canary adamantite team looks cool, but they have gone to the agrande city state after the empire turned vassal, that's possibly a big plot point there. It's now confirmed ainz cannot level up past 100, but he polishes his current stats to the fullest to bring out his full potential. Ainz going to a coliseum fight to raise his adventure recruiting ploy. Osk with a battle and muscle fetish :O Go-Gin is nice guy breaking troll stereotypes , he will make a good fit for Enri's troops. The fight was alright, Ainz using Clementine's moves and getting the win, he revives go-gin and gives a speech. Demiurge was out keikaku'd as well, I can see him forming some sort of inferiority complex and doing desperate things to impress ainz if this keeps up. 10/10 Next vol about dwarves with shalltear and aura coming along. |

For the love of God how lucky can this moffo get. He ended up right there right at the moment Jirvic was having that meeting. How can Jicnic possibly see that as a coincidence? Especially when he flew over and saluted him with comments of the style "Are this your friends?" Ainz is one lucky moffo. Btw the moment that shit happened i expects that Demiurge and Albedo would be all like "Wow, how awesome our master is for seeing threw everything like that" and indeed that was in the epilogue. Such hilarity. The guy can bankrupt a casino. Poor Jirvic, i felt sorry for the poor guy. He will die from stress the way he is going. That last thing he needed was getting trolled the shit out of without the one trolling him even realizing. The Theocracy is definitely the strongest nation we have right now since nether the Empire or the Kingdom have the ability to face 500 death knights etc while the Theocracy has people that can defeat them. It seems it probably also has some higher tier Angels than the one that guy used that could do 7th tier magic. Until now no other nation could even dream managing 7th tier magic but the Theocracy has summons that can achieve that and even better along with what it seems some world class items. Other than that we have a small time ambitious noble name Philip messing with things that would probably ensure a torturous end for him. Probably his lower head also had a contribution to his over ambitious suicidal acts since he was mesmerized by Albedo's beauty. The moment he tried to touch a little skin i shivered by the prospect of the future awaiting him. The underworld bosses have been tortured to submission and are serving Nazaric now. That is some smart tactics by Albedo and Demiurge. Btw i have to give it to Albedo, she can actually hold pretenses when is needed. Seeing her over crazy reactions over Ainz-sama(btw anyone noticing how she still calls him Momonga-sama, that how she called him when saying goodby, she really is refusing to let that go) i thought she would be good at being diplomatic etc but it seems i was wrong. |

Philip is "a moron among morons". Hopefully he doesn't stay around long. I assume Renner plans on becoming a heteromorph before the attack on the Kingdom to further show her loyalty to Ainz Ooal Gown. I wonder how Climb and Blue Rose will react to this. Unknowingly Ainz stopped anything from happening between the Slane Theocracy and the Empire while also making Demiurge believe he's even wiser then he actually is. Amazing volume I cant wait until the next ;___; |

Especially the part when Albedo was all like, "It was his way of telling you not to worry about him." HILARIOUS xD |
