History Fanfic / FateHeroAndSword

* ProperlyParanoid: Ainz's paranoia is ''much'' more justified here on account of the existence of the Holy City Camelot, who are [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter quie literally everything Nazarick is but better]].

** [[spoiler:Shirou uses Rule Breaker to cleanse Shalltear of the effects of Downfall of King and Country, sparing Ainz the need to kill her]].
* StunnedSilence: Most of Foresight has this reaction when Arche offers them a whole sack of gold coins as advance payment for being her guards. The entire bar they're in follows suite when Arche starts adding ''more'' gold to the pile, mistaking the silence for dininterest.

* TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: Arche views Nero as something akin to a sun when she uses her AuraVision talent on the girl. When she later meets Ainz and Nabe, she gets a similar reaction.

* AdaptationExpansion: Slightly more detail on YGGDRASIL is given here than in canon -- namely specifying what each world's environment looked like -- .

** Attacking Arturia is a great way to infuriate Shirou to the point where many players believe he was some sort of secret underboss they needed to defeat before challenging Arturia.

* AdaptationExpansion: YGGDRASIL is given more information here than in the original ''Overlord'' canon, including why the name was chosen -- YGGDRASIL has nine different worlds named after the nine realms from Myth/NorseMythology, with each realm having a different theme.

** Shirou to Ainz -- both were YGGDRASIL players, but while Ainz joined and eventually became leader of Ainz Ooal Gown, Shirou was a solo player. Ainz dove into YGGDRASIL to fight off the burden of being a lonely SalaryMan, while Shirou joined on advice of a friend, and then stayed because he had the opportunity to be with a facsimile of Saber that he had created. Ainz is now fighting for the shadow of the Guild he once belonged to while Shirou works to fix the New World [[ForGreatJustice because being a hero is who he is]].

** Agravain and Demiurge -- both are the ChessmasterSidekick to a YGGDRASIL player, and are morally darker than their master. Agravain, however, is ''much'' more heroic than Demiurge (the latter's morality is listed as -500, '''Extremely Evil''') and unlike Demiurge, Agravain realizes that his masters (Shirou and Arturia) aren't nearly as smart as him.

** Nero choosing to take Arche as her aid (and Arche hiring the rest of Foresight as bodyguards) means that they will never go on the doomed mission to Nazrick.

* LaserGuidedKarma: Kelart tries to embarass Calca by subtly loosening her dress so that it shows off more of her cleavage when the [[MrFanservice Knights of the Round]] arrive in Northern Roble, which also enrages Kelart's sister Remedios. The queen and the paladin promptly take advantage of Kelart being the slowest to recover from EatingTheEyeCandy by insinuating that the mage is a messy eater and leaving her with no opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: The first inhabitant of the New World that Arturia meets, Vincent Berferd, pointedly tells her that she wouldn't understand the betrayal and conspiracy that the Roble Holy Kingdom is going through. Arturia had to watch Camelot fall to treachery by ''[[CainAndAble her own sister]]'', Morgan le Fey, and thus has ''very personal'' experience with what Vincent is dealing with.

** The Cu in ''Fate'' never got to die in a fight against a WorthyOpponent due to various circumstances. [[spoiler:The NPC Cu Shirou brought with him only dies after a long, drawn out battle against Ainz and manages to kill Cocytus before he falls]].

** It's implied that the various expansions to YGGDRASIL were based on the Singularities and Lostbelts from ''Grand Order'', as mention is made of an Okeanos area.

* TheForceIsStrongWithThisOne: Arche views Nero as something akin to a sun when she uses her AuraVision talent on the girl. WHen she later meets Ainz and Nabe, she gets a similar reaction.

* MaliciousSlander: Calca's thoughts reveal that several nobles in the Northern half of the Roble Holy Kingdom spread rumors that Kelart, Remedios, and Calca were in a relationship with each other because none of the three seemed interested in marriage. The same chapter makes it clear this was because none of the men they could marry were up to their standards.

** Ainz reveals that there was only one raid group that ever beat Medea in YGGDRASIL, and that they had to use a team of solely physical fighters, because [[AntiMagic Rule Breaker]] made mages useless. The one guy who got the dagger as a drop wouldn't stop bragging about it until they got cornered by the Argonauts and ''permanently'', forcing him to make a new account.

** Attack (or worse, killing) one of the Nazarick [=NPC=]s is a good way to anger Ainz. Unfortunately, the only character who did so [[AlwaysABiggerFish is/was in the very small group of beings that can actually fight Ainz on even terms]].

** Nero choosing to take Arche as her aid (and Arche hiring the rest of Foresight as bodyguards) eans that they will never go on the doomed mission to Nazrick.

* {{Greed}}: Emphasized with Arche's parents here -- they outright ''rob their own daughter'' just because she had some gold on hand. Unlike in canon, though, she finally decides to pull a ScrewThisImOutOfHere and takes up a full-time position with Nero to ensure that her sisters are safe from slavery.

* MuggingTheMonster: [[spoiler:Narberal Gamma treats Shirou as should would any other human ([[HumansAreInsects like an insect]]), unaware that he is a Player, and thus implicitly on the same power level as ''Ainz'']].
* MythologyGag: Holy City Camelot has numeroues references to ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder''.

** Shirou is ''really'' protective over his Saber NPC, to the point of secretly modifying her into a world boss and maxing out her stats to prevent her from being killed. He also made an NPC version of Gilgamesh and gave him the Gate of Babylon, [[ItAmusedMe because seeing him trounce other players was amusing]]. It's also been made clear that he's caught on to his ChickMagnet status and is starting to get annoyed with it.

* BerserkButton: Attacking Arturia is a great way to infuriate Shirou to the point where many players believe he was some sort of secret underboss they needed to defeat before challenging Arturia.
* BonusBoss: Every Servant NPC Shirou made is indicated to be one, as Shirou maxed out their stats and gave them ''ridiculously overpowered'' builds. The developers of YGGDRASIL tolerated this because they were genuinely challenging foes.

** Medea was this to magic users in YGGDRASIL, as [[AntiMagic Rule Breaker]] made her a ManOfKryptonite to them. Ainz almost loses it when Shirou gives him a copy of said dagger.

* MaliciousSlander: Kelart's thoughts reveal that several nobles in the Northern half of the Roble Holy Kingdom spread rumors that Kelart, Remedios, and Calca were in a relationship with each other because none of the three seemed interested in marriage. The same chapter makes it clear this was because none of the men they could marry were up to their standards.

** Gilgamesh is ''the'' most dangerous boss that Shirou created in YGGDRASIL, with his skills and powers (including access to ''all'' of the [[InfinityPlusOneSword World Items]]) outright making him undefeatable -- indeed, ''he never lost a fight before the game ended''. The fact that he might be roaming the new world terrifies Ainz a lot.

* NoodleIncident: Ainz reveals that there was only one raid group that ever beat Medea in YGGDRASIL, and that they had to use a team of solely physical fighters, because [[AntiMagic Rule Breaker]] made mages useless. The one guy who got the dagger as a drop wpuldn't stop bragging about it until they got cornered by the Argonauts and ''permanently'', forcing him to make a new account.

** Gilgamesh is ''the'' most dangerous boss that Shirou created in YGGDRASIL, with his skills and powers (including access to ''all'' of the [[InfinityPlus1Sword World Items]]) outright making him undefeatable -- indeed, ''he never lost a fight before the game ended''. The fact that he might be roaming the new world terrifies Ainz a lot.
