The Unwanted Undead Adventurer (Manga) Series

It's been ten years since Rentt Faina, a down-on-his-luck Bronze-class adventurer, set his eyes on becoming Mithril-class. Unfortunately, Rentt finds himself helpless when confronted by a legendary dragon in the Water Moon Dungeon... and is summarily eaten. But Rentt has miraculously reawakened... as a skeleton?!

The craving for human flesh! Are Rentt's inhumane tendencies out of control!? Having awoken in the Labyrinth of the Moon's Reflection as a Skeleton after being consumed by a dragon, Rentt has finally obtained a body with some flesh on it, all thanks to the phenomenon known as Existential Evolution. When he returns to investigate an uncharted path within the labyrinth, however, a magic circle trap is set off, teleporting Rentt to an unfamiliar place. The room he finds himself in is none other than the deepest part of the Moon's Reflection—the boss chamber. Who will win? A Giant Skeleton powered by the very energies of the labyrinth itself, or a Ghoul with the experience and weapons of an adventurer?
