The story is set in a fantastical world and follows the protagonist, Ambrose, who is reincarnated as a lich and embarks on a series of adventures to solve his financial problems.
Ambrose was once a legendary mage, but when the elves dramatically raised the price of the Potion of Youth, he chose to seek immortality through lichdom. However, his new existence as a lich proves far less carefree than expected. Maintaining his survival and researching necromancy plunge him into severe economic hardship. To cope, Ambrose uses his legendary abilities to craft multiple phylacteries, which significantly enhance his survivability but also drain his wealth.
In the novel, Ambrose starts marketing his innovative skeletal creations. These low-cost yet highly effective constructs catch the attention of legendary undead. However, many of his clients do not request skeletons but instead assign him increasingly dangerous tasks, drawing him into greater trouble and peril. Through these challenges, Ambrose garners the interest of various powerful factions—some seeking to ally with him, others aiming to eliminate him. To secure his survival and amass wealth, he is compelled to participate in major events, gaining even greater power and fortune along the way.
The novel is characterized by its logical consistency and intelligent characters. While the plot unfolds at a slower pace, each scenario is packed with tension and excitement, delivering a captivating narrative.
