Summary

I don’t want to die. I want to be free. To that end, I shall….reconcile myself to the fate of becoming a “monster”.

A strange disease that racks one’s entire body with intense never-ending pain, until the person slowly withers away and eventually dies. After a few years of braving through the pain, the boy is in no luxury to even feel despair. With nary a soul to tend to him, he breathes his last.

The next time he opened his eyes, the boy had become an “Undead” of the lowest rank through the power of an evil Necromancer.

The boy rejoices at having his earnest desire fulfilled, which is a body that will never feel pain. However, he realizes that he is still under someone’s control and how it was no different from when he was cooped up in the hospital ward.

But the world would not leave alone the boy who only wished for peace.

The Necromancer who revives the boy from the dead, names him “End” and attempts to gain control over him.

The Undead Knights, lay their lives on the line to persistently chase after and annihilate the beings of the darkness.

With countless monsters under their command, the Demon Lords rule over their own lands while they all contend for ultimate supremacy.

The motivation being survival and freedom. The requirements being caution and power.

This is the tale of the cowardly King of the Undead. In his pursuit for freedom, he heads into battle and turns tail at times. He knows when to fear his opponents and when to waver in his decisions.

    I haven't read this yet, but what in the world does that "Unreliable Narrator" tag mean?

      if you click the tag itself, there is usually a description attached to it that explains what it means. for this one: In the case of a first-person narrative, the narrator may be outright lying to the audience. In other cases, they may mis-remember, mis-interpret, or otherwise convey inaccurate information during their narration. They could be hallucinating, malicious, or even just biased and a little bit confused.

    Still holding out hope for this one to update some day; the NU status says Hiatus rather than Dropped and that site is typically pretty good about gathering information about the authors works. The author is also still updating their other series, “Strange Grief Wants to Retire” pretty actively. Finally, this series has a single LN volume out oversea’s apparently, though that doesn’t appear to be translated by anyone yet unfortunately, alongside a manga that’s on its 2nd~3rd volume with a fan translation available. Basically, don’t lose hope in the WN returning quite yet everyone!!

    According to my old reading list (I can no longer see dates on my new reading list) I read chapter 77 817 days ago. I have a vague idea of the story but I honestly forget. And to top it off, there's only like 58 chapters.

    Guys, I have bad news. The superstition that vampires die when subjected to sunlight originates from 1922 film "Nosferatu." Only after another film decides that their vampire is going to die to sunlight that the idea became popular. In the novel "Dracula, " the vampire only gets weaker in sunlight.
