A Lich's Lullaby [Cozy Fantasy]

Eternity was supposed to be perfect. After three hundred and forty-two years of undeath, an immortal lich has achieved everything he ever sought. His dungeon is immaculate. His traps are flawless. His magic has reached absolute mastery. Time itself has become a resource he no longer needs to measure. The world, however, has moved on. Forgotten by history and untouched by heroes, he spends centuries maintaining dungeon no one will ever raid, calibrating defenses for enemies who will never come, and existing in a silence so complete it has become its own kind of prison. Then, during a routine patrol, he finds something that does not belong in his eternal equation. An abandoned child, crying. The rational solution is simple: deliver the child to the nearest settlement and return to his carefully ordered eternity. But eternity, it turns out, leaves far too much room to think. And even the undead can grow tired of a life where nothing ever changes. A quiet, introspective fantasy about loneliness, stagnation, and what comes after you’ve already won. What to expect: - A quiet, slow-burn fantasy with an introspective tone - An immortal lich protagonist long past ambition and conflict - Focus on loneliness, routine, and meaning rather than action - Subtle character growth driven by small, human moments 📖 1 chapter daily
