A skeleton warrior awakens in ruins after catastrophic defeat. Failed to protect the Succubus Lady. Failed to guard the dungeon. Shattered. Obliterated. Yet consciousness persists within the bleached bones. [Succession Complete!] "Succession? Assimilation?" Each shattering grants new sight. With every destruction, reality's hidden layers unfold. Death is merely the beginning of transformation. Broken repeatedly, reforged repeatedly, the skeleton soldier discovers that failure breeds revelation and resurrection breeds power.
