Severin has two weeks to kill a monster lord, or he will die. One problem. He's a low level imp. All Severin wants is a good night's rest, but now, a human wizard has cursed him, leaving him with two weeks to live unless he slays a powerful boss.

To progress so rapidly, he'll need to take risks, throw himself into an age-old conflict, and delve into the deepest dungeon. All the while inching his way closer to the one they call The Grave Lord.

Severin is good-natured. Unfortunately, his orb of a companion is cruel and devious. With Orb's help, Severin will grow in size, power, and gain new complex abilities. In fact, he learns he can gain tiers, eventually becoming a boss himself. But will his progress be enough to free himself?

Or will the clock run out?
