Summary
The Skeleton King—once the most wicked and terrifying demonic ruler feared across the land—was a being so troublesome that even the gods themselves conspired against him. Promised humanity through a deceitful contract, he was instead betrayed, sealed away, and left to rot as nothing more than a powerless, bald skeleton who couldn’t even experience the simplest pleasures of mortal life. But fate, or perhaps the mockery of the heavens, had other plans.
One day, he awakens to an unfamiliar sensation: warmth, softness, and the beating pulse of life itself. To his shock, the great Skeleton King has been reborn not as a monster, but as a holy figure—the prophesied Saint cherished by the people and celebrated as a divine blessing. Adored by the masses, doted upon by priests, and worshipped by followers, his new existence should have been a gift. Yet beneath the saintly facade burns an undying hatred for the gods who deceived him.
Branded as a symbol of purity, he conceals within himself the most dangerous of vows—to use his newfound power, trust, and divinity to dismantle the very order that cursed him. The gods gave him a second chance, but in doing so, they returned everything to the one being they feared the most. Now, cloaked in holiness, he prepares to shatter their arrogance, humiliate them, and annihilate this land until nothing remains but the ashes of divine deceit.
