Sinopsis of The Unwanted Undead Adventurer
Rentt Faina, a twenty-five-year-old adventurer, has
been hunting low-level monsters for a decade. His life changes abruptly when he
discovers an unknown path in the Moonlight Reflection Labyrinth, where he
encounters a legendary dragon that devours him whole.
Instead of dying, Rentt wakes up as a skeleton. With
only his sword, a few tools, and his new appearance, he sets out on a journey
in search of Existential Evolution that will allow him to
regain human form. However, the labyrinth and its dangers could condemn him to
eternal death, or “undeath,” if he fails to escape its depths.
