Skeleton Lord: Hell from the Start

Fourth-dimensional disaster meets unconventional infrastructure-building, with a mix of farming, construction, food, and other elements

After collapsing from overwork, Jia Wen opened his eyes to find himself in a skeleton's body, surrounded by several oddly shaped "people."

Jia Wen: ...

Transmigration could wait. He wanted to sleep.

He found a chair that looked comfortable enough, toppled into it, and fell fast asleep.

The people of the Nether Grotto stared intently, waiting to see when Jia Wen would be cursed for sitting on the throne.

One second, two seconds;

one hour, two hours...

Not only did Jia Wen fail to crumble into dust, he slept like a baby!

-

Jia Wen refused to become king, but was forced to take the position of lord.

The wizard clan foretold that a calamity unseen in ten thousand years would arrive in ten days. Unless the Abyssal Gate was closed, the Nether Grotto would be laid waste.

And Jia Wen was the only one who could control the Abyssal Gate.

He had to shoulder responsibility for the lives and deaths of the countless people in the Nether Grotto.

-

Face-to-face with the "calamity unseen in ten thousand years," Jia Wen's empty eye sockets expressed nothing but exasperation.

The disaster turned out to be the Fourth Calamity!

Fortunately, he could understand the players' language.

Fortunately, he could obtain anything he needed from his dreams.

As expected, sleep really was the greatest pleasure in a human's... or skeleton's life.

The skeleton lord settled down for a lovely nap.

And over the years, his territory flourished and grew.

From a cursed land, it became a formidable power that could not be ignored!

Ever since Westlands launched, one golden title had remained at the top of the player forum.

[Reader's Guide]

1. Fictional setting, skeleton male lead with a human form.

2. Players are just tools; the story mainly focuses on the Nether Grotto.

3. My take on Western fantasy, unconventional infrastructure-building, a mix of elements, and a somewhat slow start.

4. Some Nether Grotto details are based on the author's first story.

Check out my upcoming story: Temple of Evil Spirits (title subject to change), a Western fantasy story with a male lead and no romance. He helps evil spirits let go of their obsessions and "tricks" them into working for his city-state.

Top-Tier Beta: Interstellar ABO sci-fi setting, (pseudo) apocalyptic survival livestream, a touch of Lovecraftian horror, powerful A x B leads.

Older Western fantasy story: The Chief Dragon Knight, the coming-of-age story of a young dragon knight. Two powerful leads, an arrogant and handsome dragon top x a steady, straightforward human bottom.
