Unalive - A New Life in Clay
In this mysterious and comedic novel, the main character is a teenage boy who finds himself reincarnated as a ceramic doll by a self-proclaimed "necromancer" in an unknown village in an unknown time and place. As a doll, he is unable to see, hear, or speak, but he is able to sense the spiritual presence of those around him.
The boy is unaware of his new situation until the necromancer appears and boasts about her supposed greatness, despite her uselessness to society. With no other options for survival, the boy must find a way to sustain himself. As a non-living creature, he relies on a life source to survive. The necromancer cannot provide enough, so he must use the life source surrounding him.
The life source is mainly derived from human emotions, scattered throughout civilization. The density of the source varies from place to place, and when it is too high, it can cause unusual events such as the creation of new identities, either physical or spiritual. These identities hold certain powers based on what they represent, and the usage of this outer source is known as magic.
As the boy navigates through his new life as a doll, he must rely on his wits and his ability to sense the life source around him to survive each day. With a mysterious and comedic voice, this novel follows the boy's journey as he tries to make sense of his strange new existence and overcome the challenges that come his way.
