A Bored Lich
"Screw magic, I want to learn how to do cool flips and stuff." Magic is awesome, until you've studied it for centuries. Doevm reincarnates into a human to experience the path of a fighter to its fullest and swears not to rely on magic. There is only one problem, a goddess stands in his way. She pits him against both the hero and the villain for all of eternity. How will he escape this, with magic or his fists? Maybe both? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Sorry about the spacing. Webnovel doesn't let me use enter) Winner of contest #110. I upload three chapters a week.

Don't be afraid to say you don't understand something or point out an error in grammar. I read all comments. There are naturally some things I won't say. For example, if some says there's an inconsistency and I don't address it, it's probably there for a reason.

"How do I win this game?" Doevm asked.
Maximus let out a sigh: "Straight to the point, just like always."
'Like always?' Doevm thought.
"Sit." A single word out of Maximus's mouth ignited a rebellion in Doevm's legs, turning his body against his mind and locking himself into an upright-sitting position. Without a floor, he still floated.
Doevm's stomach sank. Even though he knew what Maximus did and how he did it, he was still stuck. 'What if he had ordered me to kill myself?' he thought, the Grand Shaman's face flashing in his mind.
Maximus seemed to see straight through Doevm's complicated expression. He laughed in an attempt to relieve the tension, "Don't worry. I was merely demonstrating why you needed to learn the basics."
Doevm scrunched his lips. "You're just as petty as I am, fath…Maximus."
"I don't know what you mean," Maximus said, making a show of shrugging his shoulders.
