In this episode we dive into The Unwanted Undead Adventurer. We dig into the worldbuilding which was solid in its own right and the fact that they have an in-story researcher helps explain everything naturally, plus the power mix that the MC uses along with the weird biology bits like one drop of blood apparently goes a long way help to tie it all in and explain some of the other mechanics as well. However the early sprint with minimal explanation of the overall time line does hinder it a bit as it does not really give you much in the way of the overall progression. Plus there were a few dangling threads that bugged us luckily there is a Season 2 confirmed.

Show Synopsis

Rentt is an unlucky veteran adventurer who dies after running into a dragon(?) in the Labyrinth of the Moon’s Reflection which is supposed to be a low level (or easy if you will) dungeon and then revives as a skeleton. He learns that defeating monsters fuels his “existential” evolution, letting him climb undead forms toward his goal of becoming human again or as close to it as possible. With the help of his friend and scholar mage Lorraine, he is able to conceal his identity and starts off as a rookie adventurer again and begins to climb the ranks to his ultimate goal and life long pursuit of being a mithril ranked adventurer.
