Lord Dread was the first lich in history and the greatest magical prodigy the world has ever seen. The Gods themselves feared his potential and banished him for it. They should have been more thorough.

With a fresh chance to re-learn magic better than he taught himself originally, his sights are set on regaining his former glory. He must learn this strange new era, rebuild the dark empire he once used to challenge even the Gods, and take revenge on the fearful divinity that struck him down. This would be easier if girls could inherit land — but Lord Dread has never let a little thing like that get in his way.
