Description

He was lucky. Or cursed.

The night his parents died, he didn’t fall into the hands of fate — he fell into the bony embrace of undeath.

Raised by the archlich who rules the mist-shrouded borderlands, a boy orphaned by murder grew up among skeletons in polished armor, servants who didn’t breathe, and tutors who hadn’t blinked in centuries. The lich gave him shelter, knowledge, and a name.

He’s been sent beyond the safety of bone and shadow — into the chaotic, bewildering world of the living.

His mission? Discover who killed his parents. Understand why.

And maybe… try living like the mortals do.

Whatever that means.

This is a plain power fantasy of a (SI) powerful mage. However this story is also fast paced and has an interesting first plot and more to come I hope. The setting with characters and spells is all based on DnD, which is a classic for a reason.
The writing is decent. Absolutely easy to read, but could be improved to make it feel more immersive. I think the initial growing up part feels rushed and I think the author wanted to quickly get to the meat of the story without spending too much time on the backstory.
I found it to be an enjoyable read, good job author!
