Dead Tired 2
In the distant past, a time of magic and swordplay, there lived Harold, the mightiest lich of all, a master of arcane sciences, and a challenger of gods. After reaching the pinnacle of his power and finding it surprisingly bland, Harold waged a cataclysmic war against the gods, aiming to shatter the very system that confined him.
He took a nap, but he is awake once more.
Upon discovering that the new gods have been using some of his phylacteries as batteries to sustain themselves and grow more powerful, Harold has decided to take back what is his. He won't be alone. Accompanied by his faithful butler and maid Alex and a limpet that just won't leave no matter how often he teleports her over the nearest lake, Harold journeys north and east.
The Flaming Steppes await. An untamed land where great mantises roam and where a few fiery sects have made their homes, cultivating and growing in one of the harshest environments in the Divine Kingdom.
They are not prepared for Harold and his companions.

RavensDagger
RavensDagger has built an unlikely literary home on the edges of the internet, where whimsy meets grit and where stories unfold with a mixture of warmth, humor, and unexpected bite. A Canadian writer with an almost restless imagination, he has become one of the most prolific voices in online fiction, sharing millions of words across platforms like Royal Road and Scribble Hub.
His stories often play with contrasts: bright, cozy tones threaded with darker questions, gentle heroes navigating worlds that should have crushed them, and villains who turn out to be far more human than expected. Cinnamon Bun introduced many readers to his softer, low-stakes approach to LitRPG, proving that not every adventure needs blood and thunder to feel rewarding. From there, his catalog grew to include Stray Cat Strut, a neon-lit blend of cyberpunk and magical-girl energy, and Dead Tired, where an ancient lich just wants to nap but keeps being dragged into the absurdities of the living.
Dead Tired
Being undead is not all doom and gloom. In fact, for one ancient lich, it is mostly about trying to take a nap without being disturbed. Unfortunately, the living have a way of interrupting. Heroes show up looking for glory, adventurers stumble into lairs they really should not, and entire kingdoms seem convinced that anyone with a skull for a face must be plotting world domination.
Dead Tired consists of three books and series is set to expand with the upcoming release of one more book. The current recommended reading order for the series is provided below.
