The Unwanted Undead Adventurer: Storyline

Rentt Faina, a 25-year-old adventurer, has been hacking at monsters for a decade. However, since he doesn’t have much talent for this job, he has to hunt slimes and goblins every day for little money. Little does he know that this is about to change when he stumbles upon a seemingly undiscovered path in the labyrinth of the Moon Mirror. But what awaits him at the end of the path is neither treasure nor riches, but a legendary dragon that swallows him without further ado!

When Rentt wakes up a short time later, he’s not quite dead, but he’s not very much alive either – he’s nothing but a pile of bones! Armed with his trusty sword, tool belt, and new appearance, Rentt sets out as a skeleton to achieve existential evolution in hopes of one day returning in a more human form.

Will Rentt succeed, or will the Labyrinth devour him for the rest of his undeath …?
