"The Executed Sage Is Reincarnated As A Lich And Starts An All-Out War" is fucking peak

anime when?

seriously the main lead is like Ainz Ooal Gown but with way more chill and actually still has human empathy from when he was alive. His whole plan is that if he becomes the new demon lord, people will stop fighting each other and unite for his destruction, bringing world peace. So he runs around with his army goes through the "ooog me so ebil gonna getcha" motions right?

But the "will of the world" don't like this! The world or "fate" has deemed that the natural order of thangs is: a demon lord appears, tries to destroy humanity, and then a "hero" rises to strike down the dark one. So now shit in this reality is getting all fucky wucky because he fucking gets the new hero the world chose to take him out-

and now the "will of the world" aka fate is all out of wack and just throwing shonen protag power surges at random people in an attempt to stop the demon king and return things to "normal"

hell it already isekai'd in a guy, and that was a crapshoot

and like i said, this guy isn't a heartless lich who lost his humanity when he died,

litterally him and his bestie/secret crush sshhhh🤫 were the warriors who killed the last demon king and... welp, once they did and were the two most loved and powerful people in the world, a king conspired to frame them as having only killed the dark lord so that they could become the next evil lords

SO THEY JUST LET THEMSELVES GET GRABBED, STABBED, AND HUCKED OFF A CLIFF AND INTO THE VALLEY OF SUPER DEATH RATHER THAN FIGHT BACK AND HURT ANYONE

so for some reason only he becomes a lich after their bodies rot 4 a long time while crying about it

then he sucks up all the-

-in the valley of death™ and becomes ☠️buttfuck☠️ powerful

yeah! don't worry gang, its gonna be all right now! ❤️love and peace🕊️

aw but he can't bring her back tho. cos her soul was too pure and noble and he the demon king now😔

ANYWAYS THIS SHIT IZ GOOD

please if it ever gets an anime, please let it get a better treatment than Overlord did. All those 3d models :( no

anyways READ IT:

Annually at the Katze plains, war mages of the empire are cut down and stepped on by the peasant army of the kingdom.

After the conflict they are stripped of their robes and trinkets and left for the crows, after some years of the body accumulating negative energy filled with resentment they rise to desperately express their anger.

But not this one, she had fallen in the last annual war. Something simply fed her the dark power needed to walk again, without any of resentment normally within it.

*sighs*
