How do I become the Overlord?

You must be either a Warlord with (2) Righs of Challenge or aRenegade Baron to challenge the Overlord and defeat them to be the Overlord. This can be very complicated because unless you have won a tournament whose prize was an intercession free right to challenge the Overlord the reigning Overlord has the right to what is called a "Test of Worthiness" to see if you are worthy to challenge their right to hold their title of Overlord.

This means that they can have you duel someone else before they face you in a duel. If, by chance, you lose that duel, then the Overlord does not have to duel you and your challenge is considered forfeit because you would have been deemed unworthy of their time.

However, this "Test of Worthiness" is entirely up to the current Overlord. They may choose to simply duel you themselves without having another duel you first. Having this as an option is a part of what makes an Overlord challenge one of the most exciting and politically motivating parts of DoS.
