Bro, I'm not an Undead!

Everyday was the same for Skullius. An Undead minion of the lowest order like him, didn’t have to find a grand purpose… other than mining mana gems for his Lich master, of course. His peers thought so. They lacked ambition. To be fair, so did he. But there was just that something that kept nagging at him. A spark that no other skeleton seemed to have. Other than being the sassy bullshitter obsessed with mana that he was, why did Skullius vaguely remember being something other than a Moronic Undead drone once? What had come before his Undeath? In the end, it was this spark that allowed our atrocious hero to escape the clutches of his evil master and reach another world. And it is in this world, chock full of dangers – most beckoned by Skullius’ abnormally horrendous luck, to be honest – that the skeleton’s journey begins. In Aigas – the new world – he prepared for the greatest getback of an age armed with a power greater than that of the Liches of Deadmanland! ...... [Author’s Answers To Popular Readers’ Questions] Q: (IHateArjuun77) -Hey author, is your book trash?- A: (Author) -Haha, screw you dear reader. The answer is NO. The story has elements of comedy, action, magic, adventure and Brutality. Like it gets really dark sometimes. There’s a comprehensive story with characters that I tried my damndest to NOT make generic on top of a cool power system that’s for the most part easy to understand. So its not trash. Q: (IFreakingHateArjuun56) -Hey author why is your first volume so slow paced and... trash?- A: (Author) -Haha. It’s how I designed the First Volume to be. It’s a fun setup that doesn’t focus on many things other than the MC’s mentality, powers and route of progression. The next volumes are normal paced, focusing on the world, the villains and general expansion but all while still retaining the book theme and fun experience- Q: (ShadeIsAPervert001) -Hey author, I instinctively sense that I’ll hate this book, when should I drop? A: (Author) -Is this the same reader?! Anyway, I’ll give a range. Read a minimum of the first 20 chapters to a max of up to chapter 44 before you decide on anything too rash. I’ll hunt down this reader! --- Discord: [ https://discord.gg/8hcraTjzE9 ]

The Rise to the Absolute

In a universe where transmigrators twirl like puppets on a celestial stage, Nael Supremium rises as an enigma—a force the gods hesitate to name. His soul, an abyss that swallows reality itself, lies bound, sealed alongside his essence, to restrain a body barely capable of containing such vastness. A Supreme Nephilim, born from the collision of divine and demonic realms, he wields a power so immense that the golden grasp of transmigrators crumbles like sandcastles in his presence. Yet Nael is not unscathed. He bleeds, stumbles, and carries the dark echoes of a blazing past—a third of the Earth reduced to ashes by his own hand. His oath, though unspoken, stands unwavering: no one will bend him. Challenge him, and the silence of the void will be your only answer. Hidden among mortals by Celestia Supremium, the sovereign of Space-Time and Light, he conceals the Giver’s Physique—a gift that transforms intimacy into divine strength, yet to him, it is nothing but a burden. Disguised as a failure beneath the piercing gaze of Elowen, the cryptic Mother of Fates, Nael dwells in obscurity while his sister, Anael Supremium, spins schemes that threaten to fracture entire worlds. Kaelan, a shrewd half-breed who wields emotions like a blade, remains his sole tether of trust. But for how long? The Giver’s Physique draws insatiable gods, and the NTRaders—vultures who prey on others’ bonds—circle like a relentless scourge, while Nael’s past murmurs truths he longs to bury. He seeks neither salvation nor ruin. His struggle is to cage the monster he once was. But if cornered, he will reveal that even hell pales in sanctity beside him. The Rise to the Absolute weaves a saga of power and redemption, where each step Nael takes might either exalt the cosmos or plunge it into shadow. “A god? A demon? A myth? Or a Supremium! Beware what you desire.” — Nael Supremium NB: I'm reposting the book for the second time and English is only my fourth language, and I'm very bad.
