About Kill the Overlord

It's good to be the Overlord. You have minions to grovel at your feet, limitless wealth, and absolute power over all the lands – but you know that your subjects are plotting. They envy your wealth and hope to steal it for themselves, specifically by removing you from the picture. So you've decided to secure your power and eliminate these individuals by sending your executioner out with orders to kill the first person he meets.
