Kai Tensen’s life ends in a freak accident, only for him to wake up as a newborn in a completely different world filled with magic, danger, and a “System” providing him with information and secrets of the world. But his second chance at life takes a deadly turn when he discovers the truth: he’s the first necromancer in over 500 years, and the world will do anything to see him destroyed.

Hunted by the fanatical Inquisition, Kai must outwit bounty hunters, corrupt mages, and even gods themselves to survive.

As Kai’s strength grows, so does the danger. Each step into his newfound powers tests his humanity, forcing him to confront questions of loyalty, betrayal, and the cost of his ambition.

But with whispers of a divine conspiracy and ancient relics that could shatter the gods’ control, Kai realizes his fight isn’t just for survival. It’s for revolution.

In a world that brands him a monster, Kai vows to outlive his supressors. If they want a villain, he’ll give them one. The gods called him a curse and the church called him evil, but he’ll prove he’s their reckoning.

Death is only the beginning.

Author's Note:
As you may know, I'm also the author of Fractured Horizon, a slightly futuristic fantasy/sci-fi novel about mutated human monsters and psychics that battle them. I also wrote My Undeath, a reincarnation novel set in a fantasy world. It wasn't my best work, but I loved writing the story.

I put a lot more time and effort into Reborn with a Necromancer System, and ironed out the details for a while, plotting approximately 500 chapters for all of you. If you liked either of my other two novels, this novel has a lot more planned for it than the other two.
-----------------------------------------------------
Schedule: 10-20 chapters per week
Chapter Length 1,000-2,000 words
-----------------------------------------------------
Disclaimers:
1. This world is not like Earth. Applying common sense to some basic principles is pointless.
2. There are not any planned harems, but perhaps multiple love interests.
3. Although the main character has a necromancer system, we don't go straight into that. There's a bit of a slow burn, a learning curve for Kai, and he is just a baby when he starts, so give it some time to build up to it. He's not just going to be raising armies of undead while less than a year old.
-----------------------------------------------------
Inspiration:
D&D is a huge inspiration for this. And I have played as a necromancer-like character in dozens of games, read several books that had necromancers as either the main character, or the antagonist. Death has always been something that has interested me when it comes to my fiction, so I am hoping to share that with all of you.

Reborn with a Necromancer System

Three bodies lay lifeless before Kai. The last of his undead sunk into his shadows. A gust of wind blew through the ruined city and Kai's silver hair flicked around in the wind.

He let out a slow breath and knelt, reaching into his reserves of life essence. It was time to claim his spoils.

Dark tendrils of necrotic energy slithered from his fingertips, sinking into the corpses of Joathan, Kaelred, and Raltia. Their lifeless forms twitched and convulsed as his magic reanimated them. Raltia's body reformed as the charred layer of flesh grew back and knitted itself back together. The bites, breaks, and gashes all over Kaelred's and Joathan's bodies repaired themselves.

Their skin took on a sickly pallor, eyes glazed over with an eerie, pale green light. When the transformation was complete, they knelt before him in silent obedience.
