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

The journey to the Veil of Shadows was unlike anything we'd experienced before. The landscape shifted and twisted around us, the ground cracking and reforming as if the world itself was unraveling. The air was thick with oppressive energy, and the sky above was a chaotic blend of light and darkness.

"This place is… wrong," I muttered, my voice barely audible over the howling wind. "It's like the world is falling apart."

Skully, perched on my shoulder, nodded. *"It's the Veil's power. It's disrupting the balance of everything. Even the air feels… heavy."*

I glanced at him, noticing the faint red glow of his rune. "Skully, are you sure you're okay? Your rune's been acting weird ever since we got the Prism."

He hesitated, his eye sockets narrowing. *"I'm fine, Master. Just… focused. We've got a job to do."*

I wanted to press further, but the ground beneath us began to shake, cutting off any chance of conversation. From the cracks in the earth emerged shadowy figures, their forms shifting and twisting like smoke. They were the Veil's guardians, drawn to the Prism's energy.

"Skully, we need to move!" I shouted, casting a barrier spell to hold them back.

*"On it, Master!"* Skully replied, his rune glowing brighter as he leaped into action.

We fought our way through the guardians, their numbers seemingly endless. Skully's agility and my spells kept them at bay, but the strain was starting to show. My mana was running low, and Skully's rune was flickering more erratically than ever.

Finally, we reached the heart of the Veil—a massive, swirling vortex of light and darkness. At its center was the **Ethereal Nexus**, a place where the energies of light and darkness converged.

"This is it," I said, my voice trembling. "We need to activate the Prism."

Skully nodded, his rune pulsing with determination. *"Let's do this, Master. Together."*
