Synopsis
Ben Bartlett died a hero—cut down while saving others during a deadly robbery. In the space between life and death, he meets God, who offers him a rare reward for his noble sacrifice: reincarnation, along with two granted wishes. Ben’s first request is clear—he wishes to be reborn in the world of Overlord as the Legendary Daiyōkai Sesshōmaru, retaining the grace, power, and cold yet honorable presence of the Inuyasha icon. His second wish: to keep his full memory of the anime's events, determined to prevent senseless deaths and guide the world toward a more just path. Moved by Ben’s stoic conviction and inner strength—now tinged with Sesshōmaru’s dignified detachment and unyielding will—God grants both wishes. Thus begins Ben’s new life: reborn with the might of a full-blooded demon lord, a heart tempered by honor, and a sharp eye for imbalance. In a world of magic and monsters, where the strong dominate and the weak are forgotten, he walks a solitary path—neither hero nor villain, but something far more dangerous.

Chapter 1 - Bio

Name (Before Death): Ben Bartlett

Age: 22

Height: 6'5"

Weight: 165 lbs

Eye Color: Golden Amber

Hair Color: Silver-White

Appearance

Human Form: Regal and commanding—his long silver-white hair flows behind ornately patterned robes similar to Sesshōmaru's, adorned with symbols of yokai nobility. His golden eyes carry the stillness of death and the precision of a master.

Demon Form: A colossal, celestial canine demon form. Ethereal and horrifying in equal measure, radiating yokai power that suffocates all lesser beings.

Weapons

Tenseiga – The blade of mercy; heals and protects the innocent.

Bakusaiga – The blade of ruin; destroys and decays anything it cuts.

Tokijin (variant) – A cursed weapon forged from demonic energy.

Light Whip – A fluid whip of pure demonic energy, precise and deadly.

Phantom Swords – When enraged or seeking to end a battle, Ben summons spectral replicas of Bakusaiga—five swords hover behind him, autonomous, acting as extensions of his will. They change shape, return on command, and strike without hesitation, behaving like bound weapons with minds of their own.

Personality

With Loved Ones: Coldly nurturing, protective, and calculated. Shows affection not through warmth but through fierce defense, acts of sacrifice, or strategic manipulation to ensure their survival.

With Enemies: Emotionless, ruthless, manipulative. Prefers control over brute force—uses fear, loyalty, and intellect to subjugate and dominate. His presence alone can silence a room.

Powers & Abilities

Possesses all of Sesshōmaru's yokai powers:

Flight, regeneration, poison claws, transformation, and incredible speed.

A near-absolute resistance to mortal weapons and spiritual attacks.

His aura exerts mental pressure—most mortals and demons freeze under his gaze.

Can dominate lesser minds, bending wills subtly over time—a direct influence from Makima, whose essence lingers in his core.

Personal Guardian

Makima – The Control Devil

Ben's most trusted—and most dangerous—ally. Beautiful, poised, and disturbingly calm, Makima stands at his side not as a protector, but as an enforcer of absolute order. She enacts his will through coercion, deals, and domination. In matters concerning the throne or protection of Ben's soul, her authority is supreme—even Albedo yields.

Makima's presence ensures unwavering loyalty from subordinates. She can bend enemies to serve or destroy them with a word. Her manipulation borders on omniscient insight into others' desires and weaknesses. (Often seen standing slightly behind Ben, hands folded, smiling faintly.)

Harem

Albedo, Envy, Aura, Shalltear, Arche, Brita, Crusch Lulu (still "Mr. Steal Your Girl" 😏), Clementine, Lakyus, Tia, Tina, Ninya (it's medieval times—context matters), all the Pleiades, all maids, Evil Eye, Hilma, Leinas, Zesshi, Edström... and Makima, though her inclusion is more a reflection of power and control than romance.

Note on Height & Weight

Sesshōmaru's stats are intentionally stylized—he's not human. If you're hung up on realism, you've missed the point. Power, elegance, and demonic divinity aren't bound by human biology.
