Synopsis

Gideon's life is going nowhere fast until he gets a letter in the mail telling him he's inherited a castle from a distant great-uncle he never knew.  The only problem?  His ancestor isn't dead, he's undead, and the castle is falling apart.
But when Gideon realizes the former evil lair is located along an important route through a treacherous stretch of mountains, he gets a new idea: instead of keeping people out, maybe it's time to invite them in?



Cozy LitRPG vibes.
Gideon learns new magic and levels up over time.  Numbers go up, but that isn't the focus of the story.
Grumpy, undead mentor trapped in a magic mirror.
Home/castle improvement.  The real fantasy of this story is owning property!
Teaching an animated suit of armor the true meaning of friendship.
Skeletons who make pancakes.
