Part of drop-down menu is not visible

I am trying to create drop-down menu, but when I add position: absolute; and display: block;, I can't see all of the second ul element . I want to see both ul elements, so I can then add a hover and a display and complete the drop-down menu.

I tried using z-index and overflow, but nothing worked.

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto+Slab:wght@100;200;300;400;500;600;700;800;900&display=swap");
* {
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  -webkit-box-sizing: border-box;
  box-sizing: border-box;
  text-decoration: none;
  font-family: 'Roboto Slab', serif;
}

html {
  font-size: 10px;
}

body {
  background-color: #1C1B1A;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
}

h1,
h2,
h3 {
  color: #fff;
}

header nav {
  display: -webkit-box;

Below is a simplified code, because yours is a big mess ;)
You're making the code too complicated. For example, use the wrong font-weight: 350 fonts, but there are only hundreds in googleapis.com decalaration.
And why do you need so many versions of the fonts, [100,200, ..., 900] after all, it slows down the page incredibly. You can use html strong or b elements.

:root {
  --olive: #6b653c;
}

@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto+Slab:wght@100;200;300;400;500;600;700;800;900&display=swap");
*,
:after,
:before {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

html {
  height: 100%;
}

body {
  background-color: #1c1b1a;
  text-decoration: none;
  margin: 0;
  font-size: 1rem;
  font-family: "Roboto Slab", serif;
}

ul {
  list-style: none;
  padding: 0;
}

a {
  text-decoration: none;
  color: #fff;
}

h1,
h2,
h3 {
  color: #fff;
}

header {
  height: 78px;
}

nav {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
}

h1 {
  font-size: 2.5rem;
  font-weight: 500;
  text-transform: uppercase;
  padding-left: 40px;
  margin: 0;
}

.links {
  position: relative;
  margin-left: auto;
  background: var(--olive);
  padding-right: 20px;
}

.links:before {
  content: "";
  position: absolute;
  left: -30px;
  border-right: 0px solid transparent;
  border-left: 30px solid transparent;
  border-bottom: 50px solid var(--olive);
}

.links ul li {
  display: inline-block;
  position: relative;
  font-size: 1rem;
  text-transform: uppercase;
}

.links ul li {
  margin-left: 20px;
}

.sub-menu ul {
  display: none;
  position: absolute;
  left: -20px;
  background: var(--olive);
  padding: 10px 20px;
}

.sub-menu ul li {
  margin: 0;
}

.sub-menu:hover ul {
  display: block;
}
<header>
  <nav>
    <h1>logo</h1>
    <div class="links">
      <ul>
        <li><a href="#">link</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">link</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">link</a></li>
        <li><a href="#">link</a></li>
        <li class="sub-menu"><a href="#">link</a>
          <ul>
            <li><a href="#">link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">link</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">link</a></li>
          </ul>
        </li>
        <li><a href="#"><i class="fas fa-user"></i>last</a></li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </nav>
</header>
