Synopsis:
"She died. She rose. Now, death itself bends to her will."
Elinor wasn’t ready to die—especially not in a jungle, kidnapped, and thrown into chaos. But when death claims her, somethingawakens. TheSystem of Undeathoffers her a second chance, but at a price: she is no longer human.
Now aLich Empress, bound to a kingdom of survivors and stranded humans, she alone holds the power to protect them.Trapped in an alien world, she is the only one who can negotiate with the warring clans of the ri’bot, amphibious warriors who see humans as nothing more than prey.
Butshe is no prey.
To survive, she mustbarter knowledge, forge alliances, and wield death itself as a weapon. She mustbluff her way through the limits of her Systemand secure her throne in a world where the strong devour the weak.
Yet,a golden shadow lingers in her mind, whispering of something deeper. The System has bound her to this path—but for what purpose? Can the remnants of humanity truly accept an undead Empress? The System demands loyalty, andif there is no other way… then submission is their only choice.
Survival is not enough.Rule or perish—there is no other path.
How is UE connected to TO or ATM?
ATM is part of a whole different multiverse (it can still have crossovers but much harder in-verse). Although starting at the same place, UE is set farther from the center of the Maelstrom (a collection of multiverses) of The Oscillation series, so gods can be more powerful here than in TO. UE is connected to my TOverse through the crystal gateways that Elinor encounters here on Earth.UE follows Elinor as she tries to survive in the chaotic world by building an empire and has to figure out plots that are happening around her, but mostly about the survival of her empire and family with the insane alien threats of these other worlds. TO is mostly happening on Earthand is at the center of the dimensional Maelstrom (more on that will be revealed in time).Due to the chaos going on, there are rules that limit the power of gods, and what they can do, where UE focuses on the outer zone conflicts, TO focuses on the inner zone conflicts, with mythological, legendary, and godly figures throughout history empowering them and trying to gain their favor.

- ValmoriousRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0tl;dr - A family-based kingdom building undead story with an Adam's Family vibe by the end of volume 1; plus, the author will give those that don't have access to Kindle Unlimited a free version if messaging him on discord.
This does well with the kingdom politics of going to a new world with monsters and aliens, kidnapped and forced to comprimise with other nation when meeting new cultures. Our undead empress goes from teenage school queen turned goth before taking an undead twist when 'The Oscillation' happens. Butter's early introduction makes for a MUCH better transition from her introduction in volume 3 of the 1st draft, which had hints but this is much better.
Style: SME has come a long, long way. From being one of the best characterization authors on RR with the issue of slow pacing to some people now complaining he's going a bit too fast! I think it's a good balance he's found. To each their own.
Story: I mean, by no means is me putting 4.5 mean it's bad at all; some might think it is the best part, but I always thought characters were SME's bread and butter.
Grammar: Generally top notch, he's always willing to update and get new proofreaders to help make the experience better. His dyslexia involving names can be funny at times, but the editors usually get it. If I remember right, he once mentioned that he has to add the names of his characters at the bottom of the document to keep them in focus. Sometimes Sora might appear in Pokesync or Rhea in A Tail's Misfortune, which can be amusing to point out.
Characters: Top-notch. Dialogue, drama, and EVERY character being a person of their own... SME's bread and butter. Sometimes people can get annoyed since the world building is SO extensive with SME's works, but it is what he loves to write and I love to read! Pokesync alone >.> holy molly I can't imagine how he pulls in every single media from manga, games, obsure games, etc. SME has a brilliant mind, but he's not perfect.
As some people know, the
