Immortal Skeleton
The arch lich Balthus has a secret, his humble beginnings saw him as a reincarnated human. Sent to the world as a simple skeleton, the God that accidentally killed him granted him a boon that in seven centuries saw him rise to power over a vast yet surprisingly benevolent necropolis.
Decades later Balthus is schemed against and thrown down by the generals who guided him to power.
Yet as death drew his soul away, he found himself before the God again who apparently didn't register his life as 'Balthus' with the Goddess of reincarnation. Her bi millennial inspection is coming up and she needs his name in her book, like last century.
Whats a God to do?
Give the lad a second chance of course, clerical error isn't his fault!
Yet his time as an arch lich has made the lad proud and vying for more he offends both gods to reclaim his old power in his new life. Testing the patience of one God is bad enough but the goddess as well?
Sure he gets a second 'rebirth but if he wants his powers he'll have to crawl through hell pits to reclaim it, such is the punishment the deities curse him with.

note 2: When I finished the Immortal Kobold I decided to try a different take, originally called the Immortal Necromancer it evolved into this...
