The First Lich Lord Novel

Ezekiel's death on Earth leads to an unexpected resurrection in the body of a Lich. What began as an attempt to blow off steam by playing a villain has resulted in him being permanently trapped in the form of one. Now, he finds himself in a hostile world, forced to flee his former guild. His only refuge is a holy kingdom governed by the Church of Olattee, a situation far from ideal. Having lost most of his powers, Ezekiel must start anew. Despite his diminished strength, he retains his Lich form and his weapon, Mercy, whose true power he has yet to comprehend. This novel features LitRPG, Portal Fantasy, and Isekai elements, focusing on character growth for its male, non-human, antihero protagonist. It includes game mechanics, high fantasy settings with swords and magic, reincarnation, necromancy, mythical creatures, ancient times, a weak-to-strong progression, modern knowledge, and religious themes. The protagonist will be hiding his true identity.
