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 Ethereal Nexus was a place of unimaginable power. The energies of light and darkness swirled around us, their forces clashing in a never-ending battle. At the center of the Nexus was the Void Serpent, its massive form shifting and twisting like smoke.

"That's it," I whispered, my voice trembling. "The Void Serpent."

Skully, perched on my shoulder, tilted his head. *"It's… bigger than I expected."*

The Serpent's glowing eyes fixed on us, its voice echoing in our minds. "You dare enter my domain? You, who are so full of doubt and fear?"

I froze, the Serpent's words hitting me like a physical blow. It was right—I was afraid. Afraid of failing, afraid of losing Skully, afraid of what might happen if we couldn't stop the Serpent.

"Don't listen to it, Master!" Skully shouted, his rune glowing brightly. *"It's trying to mess with your head!"*

But the Serpent's voice was relentless. "And you, little skeleton. Do you truly believe you are more than a tool? A mere construct, bound to the will of another?"

Skully flinched, his rune flickering. *"I'm not a tool! I'm… I'm…"*

"You are nothing," the Serpent hissed. "A shadow of what you once were, clinging to a false sense of purpose."

I could see the doubt in Skully's eye sockets, the way his rune dimmed as the Serpent's words sank in. This wasn't just a physical battle—it was a battle of wills, and the Serpent was winning.

"Skully, don't listen to it!" I shouted, grabbing his bony hand. "You're not a tool. You're my friend. My partner. And together, we're going to stop this thing."

Skully looked at me, his rune glowing faintly. *"You really mean that, Master?"*

"Of course I do," I said, my voice firm. "Now let's show this overgrown snake what we're made of."

Skully grinned, his rune glowing brighter than ever. *"You're on, Master."*

We stepped into the Nexus, the Prism of Harmony glowing in my hands. The Serpent's power surged around us, but we stood firm, our bond stronger than ever.

"This ends now," I said, raising the Prism high.

The Void Serpent roared, its form surging forward, but it was too late. The Prism's light erupted, filling the Nexus with a blinding radiance. The Serpent's form began to dissolve, its power unraveling as balance was restored.
