Plot summary
The Unwanted Undead Adventurer is written by Yuu Okano and illustrated by Jaian. Like many early light novels, the series was initially serialized on Shousetsuka ni Narou in September 2016. However, Overlap acquired the publishing rights later in 2017. The series is still on the run, and its chapters are compiled into 13 volumes.
J-Novel Club licensed the series for English release, and here’s how the publishing giant describes the plot:
"Rentt Faina, a twenty-five-year-old adventurer, has been hacking away at monsters for a decade. However, without much talent for the job, Rentt finds himself stuck hunting Slimes and Goblins for meager amounts of coin every day. Little does he know, that all this is about to change when he comes across a seemingly undiscovered path in the Labyrinth of the Moon's Reflection."
It continues:
"What awaits him at the end of the path, however, is neither treasure nor riches, but a legendary dragon that wastes no time swallowing him whole! Waking up a short time later, Rentt finds himself not quite dead, but not very alive either— He is nothing more than a pile of bones!"
It further sheds light on the protagonist’s transformation:
"Armed with nothing but his trusty sword, tool belt, and ghoulish new looks, Rentt sets off on his quest as a newly reborn Skeleton to achieve Existential Evolution, hoping to one day return to civilization with a more human form. Will Rentt succeed, or will the labyrinth consume him for the rest of his un-death...?"
