Bro, I'm not an Undead! Novel

The protagonist, Skullius, an undead individual, recounts a sudden betrayal by Somanda, his employer and an apparent "sockethole." Despite their history, including Skullius's past embellishments about Somanda's affection for him as a prized undead, Somanda attempts to kill him. Skullius narrowly escapes through a contrived exit, managing to pilfer two significant items from the Lich. His escape leads to a series of unfortunate events and a "spiral of boneshit." A mysterious voice informs him he has qualified for an unspecified, significant opportunity. He is then transported to a new world teeming with life, which his undead form finds repulsive. This new realm is populated by powerful beings who pose constant threats. Despite these overwhelming challenges, Skullius discovers a valuable asset: a new path to power. He declares he will not remain an undead but will achieve something superior to both the living and the dead, becoming immune to their typical influences. His destiny is no longer undeath but "lifelessness," transcending reality as Skullius, who emphatically states he is not undead. The novel includes a sneak peek at Skullius's abilities: "Flesh It Like You Mean It," a cosmetic skill to gain flesh and a more lifelike appearance, and "Lifeless Evolution," offering unique and powerful evolutions beyond traditional undead paths, a package that is non-refundable and bound to him.
