Skeleton Knight in Another World (Light Novel) Series

Reborn as a heroic…skeleton?! The isekai fantasy light novel series that inspired the manga adaptation and anime!

One day, a gamer played video games until he fell asleep…and when he woke up, he found himself in the game world–as a skeleton! Equipped with the powerful weapons and armor of his avatar but stuck with its frightening skeletal appearance, Arc has to find a place for himself in this new, fantastical land. All his hopes for a quiet life are dashed when he crosses paths with a beautiful elven warrior, setting him on a journey full of conflict and adventure.

MERCENARY TACTICS

Arc and his companions chase the one lead they have on the Cardinals—a teleportation stone that spirits them to a small town off in a distant corner of the mysterious Great Revlon Empire. With the Empire on lockdown due to impending war, the Skeleton Knight and his crew must find a way to blend in. The solution? Register themselves as a band of mercenaries and start taking on jobs, of course!

HUNTING THROUGH HALLOWED GROUND

Thanatos has been defeated, but the war is far from over! Arc and his comrades venture into the ruins of the once holy capital, cutting their way through hordes of undead, rescuing injured civilians, even adding new companions to the party. Can they find the key to the whereabouts of the missing Cardinals? Or does only death await them at the heart of the ruined city?

CALM BEFORE THE STORM Elven soldiers, human troops, and even a Dragon Lord come together under the Skeleton Knight’s banner to prepare to face the Holy Hilk Kingdom’s onslaught. As war looms on the horizon, though, Arc has his first run-in with someone like him—a traveler from another world. What will this unexpected meeting bring?

HERE THERE BE DRAGONS! Arc, Arianne, and Chiyome fight their way through hordes of undead to Nohzan’s capital, seeking to save Princess Riel—but are waylaid by Cardinal Palurumo, who is revealed to have been an undead creature all along! Meanwhile, another Dragon Lord enters the stage. A gorgeous lady Dragon Lord, who’s got her eye on Arc!

OF DAMSELS AND DEMONS Arc and his companions make tracks for the Holy Hilk Kingdom, intent on unearthing the truth behind what happened to Sasuke. What they run into, instead, is yet another princess in need of rescue! Unlike Yuriarna, however, this one has no intention of letting Arc slip away afterwards. Chivalry may be a knight’s watchword, but there’s only so much a skeleton can do!

TOO HOT TO HANDLE Arc, Arianne, Chiyome, and Goemon voyage to the southern continent in pursuit of Arc’s newest culinary obsession: chili peppers! But when a dark figure from Chiyome’s past returns to haunt her, and a nightmarish demon lays siege to a human city before the group’s eyes, the skeleton knight and his crew realize they might have bitten off more than they can chew.

IN HOT WATER Finally arriving at the magical spring that might cure his curse, Arc is astonished to find it is a hot spring! Deciding to give his weary bones a rest, he and Ponta dive right in—only to encounter something entirely unexpected. Meanwhile, Princess Yuriarna challenges Prince Sekt’s underhanded bid to take control of the Kingdom. With royalty facing off against royalty, who will emerge victorious?

FIVE HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE En route to save the last of the enslaved elves, Arc and Arianne find themselves having to fight their way through ogres, monsters, and even a demon pirate when Arc’s poor sense of direction gets them lost. None of these obstacles, however, compare to what awaits them when they finally reach the Holy Revlon Empire–a beast unlike anything they’ve ever faced: the five-headed hydra!

MUCH ADO ABOUT KNIGHTING Arc vowed to avoid drawing attention to himself, but the world has different plans for him! Between hunting magical beasts and unknowingly saving the Queen’s retinue, he continues to find himself dragged into one adventure after another, culminating in a reunion with the young catgirl, Chiyome. Follow along as the Skeleton Knight embarks on a quest to set the beastmen free—and perhaps change the world while he’s at it.

Reborn as a heroic…skeleton?! A brand-new isekai fantasy light novel series! A gamer falls asleep—only to wake up in the world of the game he was playing! Arc has the powerful skills and weapons of his character, but there’s just one problem… he’s stuck looking like that character, too. An adventure in a fantastical new land awaits him, if he can get used to being a walking skeleton!
