Seven Seas Entertainment is publishing the light novel series and its manga adaptation in English, and it describes the story:
One day, a gamer played video games until he fell asleep…and when he woke up, he found himself in the game world–as a skeleton! Equipped with the powerful weapons and armor of his avatar but stuck with its frightening skeletal appearance, Arc has to find a place for himself in this new, fantastical land. All his hopes for a quiet life are dashed when he crosses paths with a beautiful elven warrior, setting him on a journey full of conflict and adventure.
Ennki Hakari launched the novels on the Shōsetsuka ni Narō (Let's be Novelists) website in October 2014, and Overlap published the first volume with illustrations by KeG in June 2015, and the 10th volume in March 2022.
Akira Sawano (A Bridge to the Starry Skies character design) launched the manga adaptation on Overlap's Comic Gardo website in February 2017.
