The World Is Harsh: Do Even Liches Have to Be Saviors Now?

Even if you have committed countless sins, please complete that ultimate act of goodness.

Nurgor, a plague-born spirit, was driven from his homeland. As a scholar, he hoped to study the unique natural phenomena of the Worldwound, a place rife with corruption.

On the way, however, he was attacked by demons and left unconscious with a strange wound.

Fortunately, someone found him and took him to the nearest city, Kenabres. Before he could even settle in, demons attacked the city. As he and a group of other unfortunate souls who had fallen underground struggled to return to the surface, Nurgor discovered that his body held the divine power of an angel.

After getting caught up in a series of troubles, Nurgor helped retake the city. Everyone was convinced he was an angelic reinforcements, and the queen even appointed him commander, giving him full authority over the army and responsibility for the Third Crusade.

But Nurgor is no saint. In his pursuit of power, he became a lich, for only the power of death could bring victory. His former allies don’t understand him. Forced to become a savior, can this villain stay true to his convictions as his allies slander him and his enemies attack without mercy?

Can he escape unscathed when the Great Tomb of Nazarick launches an all-out assault against him?

This Lord of Death will ultimately become the greatest king.
