The hilarious sequel to the hit LitRPG dungeon comedy, DEATH HAS JOINED THE PARTY!

Against all odds, Tavin Sorrel survived his first three dungeon floors as a level 1 Necrolord. He didn’t die to the opinionated lich who tried, and failed, to take over his body. He didn’t die to the mimic who ended up becoming his most reliable friend or the dragonborn Paladin who swore to kill him right before joining his party. He didn’t even die on the infamous death floor, a truly shocking feat that’s made him something of a celebrity on Mana Runners—the dungeon-running reality show where the entire world expected him to die.

But Tavin did not die. He leveled up and beat the boss that no one else could touch… which means now he has to deal with all the stuff he never thought he’d live long enough to worry about. Stuff like corporate sponsorships, screaming fans who keep demanding he turn them into his undead minions, and the actual secrets of the Endless Dungeon that Copper Runners like him aren’t supposed to know.

Turns out, when you survive the unsurvivable, you learn a lot of things you shouldn’t. Tavin still knows almost nothing about the mysterious beings the Endless Dungeon was built to imprison, but they know him. Now that they’ve named him as one of their own, he’s going to have to prove to the people in power that he’s not evil.

A not-evil lich. Good luck with that.
