'What is my purpose?' He thought as he gazed at the carnage that surrounded him. With every step he takes countless perish, with every action countless mourn. Behind him legions so vast they cover the horizon and blot out the heavens. His soldiers, servants, friends, children. 'That's right.' He remembered with a tinge of melancholy, 'This is my purpose.' Author's note: High fantasy setting, with a heavy emphasis on action, army tactics, political schemes and world building. No harem and very little romance.

James Mercer was your average loner in school and even an outcast in his home once his mother divorced his father. His sisters and their boyfriends tormented him to the point of killing him. They buried his body in the woods, hoping his death would go unnoticed as he did in life. But what happens when a spirit doesn't rest and births something the dead have never seen before?

In a world where dungeons are a common threat, the demand for those capable of clearing them has never been higher. Those who survive these dungeons and sign contracts to work for the government are known as infiltrators. Infiltrators are revered like idols, with the strongest among them at the top of the hierarchy. Even those who survive their first dungeon gain instant fame, their names whispered with awe and admiration. Xerxes, however, has always felt like an outsider in this world. But when he unexpectedly finds himself trapped in a dungeon, he defies the odds and emerges alive—becoming the leader of the only infiltrator team with a perfect 100% survival rate. Now, Xerxes must navigate the dangerous world of dungeon clearing, where survival isn’t guaranteed, and his newfound powers could either be a blessing—or a curse. [The dungeons are inspired by real life books and occurrences.] [You can guess which book the dungeon is based on I leave a lot of hints out so someone might get it right]
