Dying should be as bad as it gets. But when Kanin's soul is snatched from its path to the afterlife to be bound to a bottle of ink, he's cast into a new world where his sole purpose is to perform a senile wizard’s yard work.

Determined to evade magical errands, upgrade his fragile body, and return home (preferably alive), Kanin teams up with an elf trapped in a toy octopus to find a way to break their spells. But a murderous void has been shadowing him from the start, and if he can't discover a way to defeat it soon, it threatens to consume him—mind, body, and soul.

What you can expect from this story:
- Queer heroes (the MC is a gay man, side characters include a lesbian, enby, ace)
- MLM romance but it's a SLOWWWW burn
- Zero to Hero (Kanin's got some growth ahead of him—emotionally AND literally!)
- A dash of humor and horror
- Light LitRPG with slow but steady progression
- Non-human underdog MC (I mean, he's a glass bottle)
