Jay was merely an abandoned butcher’s son, living in a small village on the outskirts of a magical world. When humans came of age, they would receive their class from a mana conduit, granting them magic powers, and begin their lives as adventurers. 
 “Status,” Thought Jay, checking his class. 
[Necromancer Level 1]  
“...I’m a Necromancer?” His eyes widened in shock. Looking around in fear, he breathed a sigh of relief. No one heard him. 
This was a monster class, and one of the more powerful monsters at that; a powerful being which raised the dead to fight on its behalf. If anyone knew, they would hunt Jay down and kill on sight. He was not just a threat to the authority of the nobles, but to all living things. 
“But am I a monster now? Or human? I guess it doesn’t matter. They’ll kill me all the same.”
Jay had only one option: to get stronger, building his necrotic powers up so that he may one day become untouchable.

Through plotting, secrecy, and sometimes by sheer carnage, he can only attempt to survive in this hostile world.
Join Jay as he struggles against all odds and misfortune, against a world that wants him dead, as he secretly rises and bends this world to his will.

My Necromancer Class

Feeling the blade to his throat, the man stopped moving, but Jay didn’t trust him to stay quiet. 


Jay ripped some of the tattered cloth from Lamp’s ragged clothes and fastened them about the man’s head with a wad in his mouth. 


With Lamps hand free, it would be free to hunt more humans. 


Next, he ripped some of the man’s own clothes and made them into bindings for his hands. 


Jay wanted some information, and didn’t expect the man to answer him, but he decided to try anyway. 


“Now, how many of you are out here? Hold out your fingers to tell me.” 


The man exhaled angrily again in protest. 


“Thought so.” Jay whispered, rolling the captive on his face and made the skeletons place him back down. 


“Blue, take the other skeletons and find more of these sentries. Bring them back here without alerting anyone. Lamp will find them.” Jay thought-commanded.
