Kenji Tanaka, a stressed-out salaryman, dies in a traffic accident only to reincarnate into the battered body of a teenage errand boy, left for dead in the graveyard of a magical academy. Worthless in his new life as he was in his old, Kenji discovers a hidden talent for sensing magic and stumbles upon the forgotten tomb of Malakor Vane, the legendary First Necromancer.
Gifted the ancient 'Codex of Souls' and a map to unimaginable riches by Malakor's lingering spirit, Kenji inherits a cursed legacy and a dying wish: restore the vilified art of necromancy and uncover the conspiracy that led to Malakor's downfall. But with pitiful magical aptitude, Kenji's only path to power lies in the vast wealth Malakor left behind – a fortune he must claim - and a system calling itself as the most honest, but clearly only after his money.
Revenge, redemption, and riches await, if he can survive long enough to grasp them.
