Evan Draycott had big dreams of becoming a legendary summoner. He imagined summoning a dragon, a phoenix, or at least a wolf with a cool scar. Instead, he got… Skully. A knee-high, lopsided, talking skeleton with a knack for mischief and an ego bigger than his tiny frame.  

At first, Evan thought his summoning ritual was a disaster. But Skully isn’t just any skeleton—he’s a cunning, resourceful, and oddly overpowered little guy with a mysterious past. Together, this unlikely duo embarks on a journey filled with humor, chaos, and unexpected triumphs.  

From sneaking into forbidden libraries to outsmarting arrogant summoners, Evan and Skully prove that even the smallest summon can cast the longest shadow. But as their adventures grow more dangerous, Evan begins to wonder: What exactly *is* Skully, and why does he seem to know so much about ancient magic?  

Join Evan and Skully in this hilarious and heartwarming tale of friendship, strategy, and bone-chilling antics. After all, greatness doesn’t always come in the biggest package—sometimes, it’s just a tiny skeleton with a big mouth and an even bigger plan.

My starting summon is OP

We returned to the academy to find it in chaos. Students and professors were running through the halls, their faces pale with fear. The air was thick with tension, and I could hear shouts echoing from the courtyard.

"What's going on?" I asked, grabbing a passing student by the arm.

"It's the Ancient One!" the student replied, his voice trembling. "Its followers are here! They're attacking the academy!"

My heart sank. The Ancient One wasn't done with us—not yet.

"Skully, we need to get to the courtyard," I said, my voice urgent.

*"On it, Master,"* Skully replied, his rune glowing brightly. *"Let's show them what we're made of."*

We ran to the courtyard, where a battle was already underway. The followers of the Ancient One were shadowy figures, their forms shifting and twisting like smoke. They wielded dark magic, their spells tearing through the academy's defenses.

Professor Grimshaw was at the front lines, his staff glowing with powerful spells. He turned to us as we approached, his expression grim.

"Evan, Skully—thank the stars you're here," he said. "We need all the help we can get."

"What happened?" I asked, casting a barrier spell to protect us from a stray blast of dark energy.

"The Ancient One's followers are after Skully," Professor Grimshaw explained. "They believe he's the key to resurrecting their master."

*"Resurrecting the Ancient One?"* Skully repeated, his eye sockets widening. *"But we just broke the Mark!"*

"The Mark was only part of it," Professor Grimshaw said. "The Ancient One's power is tied to its followers. If they capture Skully, they can use his energy to bring their master back."

I clenched my fists, my resolve hardening. "We're not letting that happen."

Skully nodded, his rune glowing brighter. *"Let's take them down, Master. Together."*

We joined the battle, our combined strength turning the tide. Skully's new rune gave him incredible power, his golden energy dispersing the shadowy figures with ease. I focused on supporting him, casting spells to enhance his abilities and protect him from harm.

But the followers of the Ancient One were relentless. They kept coming, their numbers seemingly endless. As the battle raged on, I began to wonder if we could hold them off.

"We need a plan," I said, dodging a blast of dark energy. "We can't keep this up forever."

*"I've got an idea,"* Skully replied, his voice determined. *"But it's risky."*

*"We need to disrupt their connection to the Ancient One,"* Skully explained. *"If we can sever their link, they'll lose their power."*

Skully grinned, his eye sockets glowing with mischief. *"We hit them where it hurts. Follow me!"*
