Theodore Goss can’t catch a break. Ending the war between the Mobs and saving the Skeletons from the grip of Hell isn’t enough to let Theo rest, not when he has to gather the power of his sector’s Overlords so that his fairer System can be properly established. Peace doesn’t enforce itself, after all.

Caught dead in the centre of a conflict between two guilds, Theo only wants his home to survive. He's worked hard to unite the mobs and grant them all the same system he has. If only they were left alone to enjoy their peace. The enemy breaks Theo's artificial system and snares his friends in a new sector. They intend to raze his home to the ground just to get to him.

Theodore Goss is minding his own damn business when humanity's time runs out. Everyone is shunted off to Godguild, a new universe filled with magic, monsters, and stats, where the afterlife is determined by progression. It's not about being good anymore, or even being strong. All that matters is being at the top. Hard though it is, Theo plays along as an Afterlifer, determined to make it to paradise eventually. But when a vicious guild drags him into a skeletal dungeon run, Theo realizes the monsters have it much worse than him.
