Plot Summary:

The protagonist fall asleep while playing an online game. However, he awoke in a strange world with his game characters appearance. In a state of shock, he noticed that he was equipped with nothing but his strongest weapon and armor. To make matters worst, our hero’s appearance was changed by the special avatar skin『Skeleton』when he enter this new world. The protagonist wanted to live without drawing attention, but he got acquainted with the dark elf Ariana and received her request.

Yup, Silver and White full body armor. This almost reminded me of Overlord at first because of the appearance but it's a bit different than that.

Story starts out somewhat violent as well when the MC (Arc) tries to save two women from bandits. The MC is kinda OP, almost like they don't know how powerful they are themselves. The story also takes a narrative point of view of the other characters like Rita. Pretty standard fantasy series so far and has potential. (also noticeable that it has medieval themes during the era but fantasy is also fairly evident with monsters that has level ranges)

The MC isn't 'kinda OP,' he's hilariously way OP.
Overall this one is pretty fun.

Also, the elf on the cover canonically has purple skin (she's called a dark elf, but that's basically a Night Elf in this story if you Warcraft), but the publisher saw fit to turn dark elves into albino elves (minus red eyes) for whatever reason.

And for those bound to ask, no, there's no snu snu. He's a goddamn skeleton, as much as I'd love to make a horrible boning her pun.

Wasn't there a thread for this already?

But as of the latest chapters he seems he might be getting his Dark Elf flash back

Spoiler for :

I know. Temporarily being able to turn back to his 'original form,' a standard dark-skinned dark elf that doesn't even exist in the current world he's in.
Also with apparently a gallant sword down there.

Only problems are the protagonist is about as suave as a turkey and the transformation is temporary.

Granted as of the latest chapter, he did just accept to join the heroine's clan of elves because they have tomatoes.
This fucking dojikko protagonist, man, I'm telling you. Well, maybe he can actually start romancing now that it can be politically accepted with her family.

Also I'm pretty sure there isn't already a thread, not that I can find. Has been mentioned in other threads, though.

Yep, this series is seriously good.

Speaking of "op"; this, basically, the world he got warped into has no levels not exp as a concept, but MC has level 255 stats; so he is basically superman (I think he once fell out of a tree, and it caused a super strong impact like a boulder falling ).

Spoiler:

His actual "cheat" is that he doesn't follow the game's rules; for example as the paladin he is, in the game he is limited to some white magics and high end sword skills; but "in the real world" he could use every skill that he mastered in the game without job restrictions (he capped magician and priest for a pre-req of something in the game, and couldn't really use their skills in his final build, for example).

Oh, and it's touched that he is super strong, but really has no combat experience (MC is a regular guy who hadn't held a sword ever); but so far the only one who has been able to exploit that is his sword trainer.

It's hinted that he is not the only earthling there (evidence of a player founding a clan some hundred of year ago).

And for those bound to ask, no, there's no snu snu. He's a goddamn skeleton, as much as I'd love to make a horrible boning her pun.

Hmn, to be honest, even before the night tango, I find it hard to tell if the MC is loved or not, sometimes I feel like Ariane is crazy about him, but other times I sort of don't I would like for the MC to end up with Liliana and Adriane, after all there is simply no better way to unify the races other than doing a sandwich with the princesses

So this got a translation ? Nice.

you might be better off on your own.

This is a pure machine translator based translation so if there are some awkward, stiff line, wrong grammar and such forgive me.

[Kreceir]

Even though it says Clumsy, does he act it up like Ainz like acting ''different'' whenever he's with party member?
Or is he just himself/

(To be honest I saw skeleton and the first thing it reminded me of was Ainz)

Even though I like (True)harems, but I will pass that for something interesting too read like this.

Also, I spy with my Eye a adorable animal on his shoulder

[travelingbum]

nah, his skeleton look is actually affecting him with the usual undead race immunity to status effects and stuff.

so he's just his roleplay self.

[Kreceir]

Does someone has illustrations for this?
The MC looks pretty awesome, I can see that as an awesome cosmetic in the game I'm atm playing.

They should try some snu snu i mean just read Overlord and see how Ainz was molested multiple times by Albedo to the point she also rape him right in front of everybody lol.

I didn't get the impression that his appearance is anything but cosmetic.
His immunity to debuffs comes from his OP equipment set and his level-300-stats.
It wasn't mentioned anywhere at all that he's like Momonga.
That reminds me, do we know if he (not momonga) even sleeps at night? All it says is that he's sitting somewhere in his room with his back to the wall.
The it usually cuts to the next chapter where he simply leaves.

When did Albedo actually do anything "in front of everybody"?

[travelingbum]

his skeleton appearance has an effect on his mental state and such... so yes it's affecting him.

he is able to sleep and does so.

Spoiler for Albedo riding Ainz:

In volume 8 she got horny and was frusted to be a virgin succubus and pretty much jump on Ainz on the throne room the only reason she didn't rape him was because the assassins that protect Ainz block her, later she try to rape him on the way to the bath house with pretty much everybody watching.

Yes, he sleeps. As Okashira already mentioned, he one time fell out of a tall as hell tree when asleep (literally rolled out of bed), which was ironically the first time he's even taken damage in the new world.
Granted it was still fuck-all damage and didn't mean anything.

But yes, it's mostly cosmetic. Stabbing through him and going in-between his ribs still won't damage him, but otherwise it doesn't really do anything.

Spoiler for Aside from...:

Aside from building a dam in his mentality so that he can't strongly feel emotions, so that when he returns to normal the pent-up emotions come flooding out and nearly drive him insane.

[Breimn]

I wonder how does he not dirty himself when eating. I could understand feeling taste as some bullshit reason that other stories did as eating the "soul" of the food but he can't digest it! The moment it enters his mouth it should go all over the place.

"Affecting him" and "giving resistance/immunity to debuffs" are two completely different things!

Suddenly turning from a "human" into something else will obviously affect a person. But that isn't enough to be immune to petrification.

I have the complete Illustrations for LN vol 1 & 2. Is it all right to post them here?

Send them to me. I'd love them.

Elf lady is sooooo hoot!

Welcome our new Overlord, Arc!!!!!!

[jmcu17]

This is giving me flashbacks to Overlord. I hate Overlord. Glad to hear that it's nothing like it!
