Overworld

An overworld is, in a broad sense, an area within a video game that interconnects all its levels or locations.
Hyrule Field for The Legend of Zelda.

The Elder Scrolls series boast some of the largest Overworlds in gaming.

In The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, the Vvardenfell island is a single continuous explorable location, dotted with countless entrances to smaller dungeon and indoors levels.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is similar to Morrowind'', except that entire cities are also rendered as smaller sub-levels accessible from the overworld.

Overworker

Salaried employee who intentionally works extra unpaid hours, and makes sure management notices.
“That Madison of yours, isn't she quite the overworker. Looks like you’ve got yourself a real keener there.”

You know what, here's the thing: I really can’t tell if she gets any more done than anyone else on that team. What I do know is I have to pay the cleaning staff overtime to not finish the washroom til she goes home. So annoying. When we cut down next month, she’s first to go.”
