Overlord Virus

The Overlord Virus was a virus that consisted of crying obsidian that had the ability to possess and control buildings, vehicles, and ultimately people. It was considered to be a destructive and dangerous virus that could easily spread. The Overlord Virus was thought to have been ultimately destroyed during the Final Battle. On July 5th, 2022, the Overlord Virus made a slight return as Manfred Schilling used some of it in a skirmish. On April 8th, 2023, the Overlord Virus was seen during the 2023 Invasion of Minedonia.

## **Origins**

The Overlord Virus was first recognized in Springfield as obsidian. At the time, not much info was known about this virus, other than the fact that it could destroy creations. The virus was well known for destroying a ship, and several homes. Much of what happened during that encounter has been lost to history, including how it was destroyed. Several years later; the Overlord Virus was kept sealed in a bag at the Ol’ General Store. It is unclear of how the bag got to Minedonia. Manfred Schilling took the suspected bag over to the Abandoned Casino Building to examine it. Once the virus was unleashed, it quickly spread throughout the building causing it to become powerful and stronger.

## **The Attack**

The Overlord Virus killed several Minedonians, including Vinnie Armatys, and Autumn as it continued to spread. While most of the virus only attacked the Abandoned Casino Building, there were reports of isolated attacks at a pond near Spawn, and on Main Street. One person was publicly known to have been possessed by the virus, Lily. Kenneth Afton, and Mitch Foulkes began to develop weapons to combat the Overlord Virus which showed positive signs of working. Several days later, Paragon began investigating the Abandoned Casino Building to learn more about the Overlord Virus. Despite state-of-the-art equipment, they were ultimately forced to leave as many researchers were killed by the virus,

On November 7th, 2021, the virus controlled a helicopter that was believed to be Manfred Schilling's. The helicopter held Mitch Foulkes as a prisoner while Kenneth eventually rescued him and destroyed the helicopter. The helicopter ultimately crashed on the side of the Abandoned Casino Building, the remains were visible until it was moved on September 11th, 2022 for the 2022 Fair of Minedonia. On January 29th, 2023, it was scrapped for a ride for the 2023 Fair of Minedonia.

## **The Final Battle**

With the rise of powerful weaponry, the Overlord (now becoming more prominent) declared an ultimate battle at the Abandoned Casino Building to determine the fate of Minedonia. On November 12th, several Minedonians showed up to the battle, including, Mitch, Kenneth, Lily, Richard Graive, Manfred, and others. The Overlord was prepared with three small dragons, and a massive mech. The battle first started with the Overlord having the upper advantage with the mech, however, the civilians discovered a weak spot within the mech's suit. Once it was destroyed, the entire mech was powered down. Kenneth killed two of the dragons, however, forgetting about the third, which in turn used some Overlord Virus to re-power the mech for a brief period. The mech was destroyed swiftly, and the third dragon killed off. The main focus then switched to the inside of the Abandoned Casino Building to destroy "Ground Zero" of the Overlord Virus. The virus did not last long as the Overlord was forced to retreat into the sky. The Final Battle ended with a victory for the civilians.

## **Investigation**

With the Final Battle ending in a victory, many of the civilians wanted to rest. Many artifacts relating to the Overlord Virus were destroyed to prevent respawning the virus. It was later revealed by Schilling himself at his "Victory Party", that he designed the mech used for the Final Battle. He is an avid believer of the Overlord. Despite this, no official criminal investigation has taken place into Schilling's involvement, or the origins of the Overlord Virus.

## Techno-Droids

On July 5th, 2022, Manfred Schilling began an attack on Central Street in an attempt to gain back the Schilling Building. While briefly subdued by Richard Graive, Mitch and Zane Foulkes, Schilling ultimately summoned the Overlord Virus back in an attempt to win the battle. He would however lose that skirmish and was ordered to retreat.

On July 17th, 2022, it was revealed by Mr. Mills that Manfred Schilling was the Overlord after he consumed some Overlord Virus. Mills said the only way to truly defeat the Overlord would be to destroy Manfred Schilling.

## 2023 Invasion of Minedonia

On April 8th, 2023, the Overlord Virus was used in some of the invading forces’ tanks and other vehicles during the 2023 Invasion of Minedonia. It briefly attacked Mitch Foulkes, Nols, and Zane Foulkes near the Minedonian Civil Defense Headquarters.

## Today

On September 19th, 2022, it was revealed that there's an alcoholic beverage called Overlord's Revenge, which was named after the Overlord.

On February 27th, 2023, the Mills Co-Operative Company announced their plans to harvest deactivated Overlord Virus for their planned DiLaurentis Tower. The left-over Overlord Virus was believed to have been found underground, after it was forgotten during the Ultimate Battle. The plan which consisted of using a specialized refinery would be shut down by the Minedonian Government on March 4th, 2023.
