Definitely was a lot of magic in this battle-without-magic ;>

I've been thinking about the downs and ups of joining Ainz' kingdom and I think there's really "only" one big downside that ruins it: The fact that all of the monsters are Ainz' slaves. They're basically all imprinted on him, they can never go against him. If that wasn't the case and all the undead monsters were free to do what they want to do, Ainz' kingdom could become simply a pprospering land where humans monsters live together in peace. But there can never be peace when one half of the population will do one guy's bidding no questions asked. Imagine marrying a cute monster girl, but no matter how much she claims to love you, she'll always put Ainz above you.

That leads me to this: I've been thinking about possible goals and points of conflict for Ainz. What I came up with:

- trying to get a body of flesh and blood for himself, so he can be a complete man
- introducing free will/democracy to his undead underlings
- organize a grand competition with him as the final opponent, and if he loses, the winner becomes the new leader

Of course, we actually so a tiny hint at some other potential future conflict: When Ainz reminsiced about "someone stronger than myself", he envisioned some knight who I assume is one of his original dungeonmaster friends.If that particular guy is introduced as an opponent, that might become an issue. Although it'd probably end with them making up and being best buddies again, so ... i'd rather not -_-
