"From death to becoming the master of death, that's my story"

[... ]

Jake never got a break. Born unlucky, lived cursed, and died alone—struck by lightning on a rainy night. That should’ve been the end.

But fate had other plans.

In the space between life and death, he meets the goddess of Karma and Fate, who admits his entire life was a mistake—her mistake. To make amends, she offers him a second chance in a brutal new world ruled by magic, martial arts, and monsters.

Before he's sent off, Jake draws from five Legendary Cards—and chooses the most powerful of them all: The Legendary Necromancer.

Now, Jake awakens in a world where strength decides everything. With his unique talent, he can summon undead endlessly—and harvest power from the souls of his enemies.

[You have enough Soul Shards.]
[Undead Dragon summoned.]

But Jake is suddenly thrust into the Hundred Trials that comes once every hundred years in this new world, a deadly proving ground for the elite.

To the others, he’s an outsider—unregistered, unknown, and unwelcomed. A threat to be erased.

But Jake didn’t crawl out of death to get killed again

Let them come.

He has death on his side.

Legendary Necromancer: My First Summon is the Undead Dragon

Jake couldn't react. The orc smashed through all his undead skeletons, and before he could even move, it punched—landing right in his guts. His body arched, blood pouring from his mouth.

His body flew through the air, no movement at all, but suddenly, a glowing rune appeared over his head.

[Crypt has taken the attack on your behalf]

Jake felt all the pain vanish from his body. Just a moment ago, he felt as if he had been shattered into bits.

He flipped in the air and landed into the swamp with a splash. Jake looked up, his eyes on the orc.

"There's no luck, only fate that we carve out ourselves," Jake said. He charged forward, running at top speed through the water.

Just a moment ago, he survived death because Crypt had risked his own life for him. Crypt couldn't help now. Besides the fact that he was surrounded, he also took damage from the attack that he carried for Jake.

Sudden end of the test
