To stay alive, he must embrace being a lich. To stay human, he must run the Endless Dungeon… live on camera! Tavin Sorrel was born allergic to magic—a mysterious condition no one can explain and for which there is no cure. He expected to die alone in his magic-proofed apartment, eking out a tiny life by betting on dungeon runs. Until the day he gets possessed by the legendary lich, Zavrak the Malevolent. The possession failed, mostly, but now Tavin is both alive and undead with the stolen powers of history’s most infamous evil overlord. That’s still a massive upgrade from his old life, but these fantastic new abilities come at a cost. Not only is Zavrak still haunting him--and providing scathing commentary on Tavin’s "incorrect" use of his necromantic magic--but as a brand-new level-one lich, Tavin has only 24 hours to sacrifice his first victim or lose his humanity …
To stay alive, he must embrace being a lich. To stay human, he must run the Endless Dungeon… live on camera! Tavin Sorrel was born allergic to magic—a mysterious condition no one can explain and for which there is no cure. He expected to die alone in his magic-proofed apartment, eking out a tiny life by betting on dungeon runs. Until the day he gets possessed by the legendary lich, Zavrak the Malevolent. The possession failed, mostly, but now Tavin is both alive and undead with the stolen powers of history’s most infamous evil overlord. That’s still a massive upgrade from his old life, but these fantastic new abilities come at a cost. Not only is Zavrak still haunting him--and providing scathing commentary on Tavin’s "incorrect" use of his necromantic magic--but as a brand-new level-one lich, Tavin has only 24 hours to sacrifice his first victim or lose his humanity forever. Zavrak suggests becoming a serial killer. Tavin has a better idea: join MANA RUNNERS, the world's most popular dungeon-crawling reality show. With infinite floors and endless monsters, it's the perfect place to harvest kills and XP... but also the worst place in the world for a level-one lich to hide. As expected of a live-broadcast dungeon crawl, Mana Runners is filled with the world’s strongest monster slayers, all of whom will murder Tavin the second they discover the true source of his powers. It’s a delicate operation where one mistake could spell his doom, but Tavin’s not the only monster hiding in the wings. Something new is rising from the dungeon's depths, and with every floor he clears, it’s looking more and more like the first lich on Mana Runners might be the only one who can stop the actual evil that's coming to devour them all. --- • If you like TTRPG humor and action-packed fantasy that isn’t afraid to throw someone into a mimic, this is the adventure comedy for you! Perfect for fans of Dungeons & Dragons, Terry Pratchett, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and Orconomics.
