Death is a game mechanic. Moby's next death isn't.He builds games for a living. A friend slipped him a beta key for *Kingdom of Darkness*, and the capsule installed an update before the dive:*SYSTEM NOTICE: Firmware updated. Sensory feedback ceiling: REMOVED. Session time limit: REMOVED. Rollback: unavailable.*The tutorial gave him seven attempts. His solution was so wrong the game made him undead for it, with an eternal craving for living food in the talent slot. The logout button is gone. And someone, in burning letters on a dungeon floor, keeps writing him the same advice: DO NOT DIE.Expect:- Boss fights that get stranger each arc.- Wins that cost more than losses.- A developer who debugs monsters like bad code.- Souls-like world-building and boss design.Don't expect:- Harem.- Numbers spam.- Comfortable deaths.The only way out is through.Dark LitRPG with an undead MC. Book 1 of the Kingdom of Dear Darkness series. Book 2: *Eye of Darkness* is underway.
