In the elf's place I would be looking at that apple as a point of no return. Some contract Ill be bound to should I accept. This is unexpectedly good so far.
I am super excited about this! Glad to see that the main character is already thinking about populating his world with some minions. Surely dark elves are some good starter citizens.
Why would someone compare this to Overlord, maybe because of world building but Overlord author is insane. I like it but I'm against how the MC doesn't even care if an innocent die and how insecure ainz is in one of his general (Demiurge) as if the role is reversed.
