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 Chamber of Echoes was located deep beneath the academy, accessible only through a hidden passage in the archives. The air grew colder as we descended the narrow staircase, the walls lined with glowing runes that pulsed faintly in the dim light.

"This place gives me the creeps," I muttered, my breath visible in the cold air. "It's like the walls are watching us."

Skully, perched on my shoulder, tilted his head. *"Master, if walls could watch, we'd have a lot more problems than just creepy vibes. Like, imagine if the academy's walls started gossiping about us."*

I snorted despite myself. "Yeah, because *that's* the weirdest thing we've dealt with."

As we reached the bottom of the staircase, we were greeted by a massive stone door covered in intricate runes. The Chamber of Echoes was sealed by powerful magic, but Skully's rune seemed to resonate with the runes on the door.

*"I think I can open it,"* Skully said, hopping off my shoulder and placing his bony hand on the door. His rune glowed brighter, and the runes on the door began to shift, their light pulsing in time with Skully's rune.

The door creaked open, revealing a vast chamber filled with glowing artifacts. The air was thick with energy, and the faint sound of whispers echoed from the shadows.

"This is it," I said, stepping inside. "The Chamber of Echoes."

Skully's rune flickered faintly as he scanned the room. *"Where do we start, Master?"*

"We start with the rune," I replied, pulling a glowing crystal from a nearby shelf. "If there's anything here that can tell us what's going on with you, it'll be connected to the rune."

We spent hours searching the chamber, examining artifacts and deciphering ancient texts. The whispers grew louder as we worked, their voices echoing in our minds.

*"Do you hear that?"* Skully asked, his eye sockets narrowing. *"It's like… the voice is getting stronger."*

I nodded, my unease growing. "Yeah. But where is it coming from?"

The answer came when we found a massive stone tablet covered in runes. The runes matched the ones on Skully's ribcage, and the tablet pulsed faintly with the same golden light.

"This is it," I said, my voice trembling. "This is what we've been looking for."

Skully stepped closer, his rune glowing brighter. *"What does it say, Master?"*

I studied the tablet, my heart pounding as I deciphered the runes. "It's a record of the binding ritual. The rune on your ribcage… it's not just a mark. It's a seal. And whatever's inside you… it's trying to break free."

Skully's rune flickered, the faint red light growing brighter. *"So what do we do now?"*

I clenched my fists, my resolve hardening. "We find out what's inside you. And we stop it."
