Bro, I'm not an Undead! Novel

A skeleton miner named Skullius and his crew work daily extracting mana gems for their master, the Lich Somanda. Without warning, Somanda betrays Skullius and attempts to kill him. During his escape, Skullius steals two valuable possessions from the Lich, which prove more significant than expected. Suddenly thrust into a new world teeming with life, Skullius faces constant threats from powerful beasts and warriors. Amidst the chaos, a mysterious voice informs him he has qualified for something extraordinary: a new path of power that transcends both life and death. No longer bound to undeath, Skullius gains access to unusual abilities including "Flesh It Like You Mean It," which grants him a cosmetic body, and "Lifeless Evolution," offering unorthodox evolutionary paths beyond traditional undead transformations. Now walking the path of Lifelessness rather than Undeath, Skullius must navigate this dangerous new reality while avoiding the pitfalls of both the living and the dead.
