The animated series was produced by Geek Toys and aired in two cours during 2023. The story begins during a legendary battle where a hero nears victory against a powerful necromancer known as The Corpse God. In a final gambit, the necromancer utilizes reincarnation magic, which catches the hero off guard. As a result, the necromancer is reborn as a young boy named Polka Shinoyama in modern-day Tokyo. Upon arriving in this new world, the necromancer finds himself entangled in a mystery concerning the boy and his own past. This narrative explores the continued conflict between good and evil as the character navigates his new existence.
