Description
Pain is an annoyance, and death was no different.
After he fell victim to betrayal, Callum found himself bleeding out in the middle of nowhere. Minutes passed in agony as his body turned ice cold, and he felt himself accepting death more and more. But instead of slipping away, he remained—lying in the grass, still conscious of the world around him. Worst of all, he could feel his body slowly turning to mush. And now, in another world!
With no hope and wracked with pain, Callum spent decades trapped in his own rotting corpse, cursed with perpetual decay—until one day, he seized the chance to live again.

- Lord_GriseousRoyal Road★★★★★ 5.0While it is definitely a sword & sorcery story, unlike most fantasies today, there is no hint of LitRPG. The premise makes for a unique character, and the author manages to breathe life into that character. Interactions are pretty realistic, worldbuilding is good, and grammar is also good. Definitely worth a read.
