The Unwanted Undead Adventurer revolves around the tale of Rentt Faina, a young adventurer with mediocre skills in hunting monsters. He often finds himself engaged in low-level quests, battling goblins and slimes, without much satisfaction. However, everything changes when he unexpectedly encounters a dragon, which swallows him whole. Despite this unfortunate incident, Rentt's journey continues as he returns in the form of a skeleton, trapped between life and death. Determined to regain his humanity and return to the world of the living, he embarks on a different kind of adventure.
