Carlos Valois thought dying once was enough—until he woke up as a 10-year-old in the world of "The Dark Era," a game he'd mastered in his previous life.
Born as the last heir of a fallen noble house, Carlos discovers he's destined for a tragic fate: in six years, he'll be manipulated into joining the dark forces and killed by his own childhood friend. But this time, he has the ultimate cheat code—memories of the future.
While other kids play with toys, Carlos hunts for divine legacies. Using his game knowledge, he performs an ancient ritual and steals a Demigod Mark from the thousand-year Sacred Oak—a power that should have remained hidden for decades.
At 15, Carlos awakens as a Death Herald with broken stats that shouldn't be possible. Most Death Heralds are fragile summoners hiding behind weak skeletons. But Carlos combines his necromancy with stolen divine abilities, creating a hybrid build that turns him into an unstoppable force.

[Purple Thornblade Skeleton Guard has activated Bond: Glory of the Purple Thornblades!]

His skeleton warriors aren't cannon fodder—they're elite undead legions enhanced beyond normal limits through secret evolution paths that took thousands of players years to discover.
Every "coincidental" encounter is actually Carlos farming legendary opportunities. While his sister thinks he's just a lucky genius, Carlos systematically raids every hidden treasure, secret technique, and forgotten legacy he remembers from the game. Ancient bloodlines, divine artifacts, mystical cultivation methods—if it exists, he's taking it.
With his infinitely evolving undead legion, Carlos set out on a path to rewrite destiny and become the supreme Death Herald legend.
Hey there! I'm the shameless author behind this crazy ride, and thanks for sticking around to read it. After 40 chapters, I figured I'd break down why you should give this wild story a shot: - What makes this different: This isn't some endless parade of skeleton upgrades or power creep nonsense. We're talking about real character development here – the protagonist actually "grows" as a person. It's all about the journey, not just some system spoon-feeding you power levels. - Skeleton army goes BRRRR: Forget your run-of-the-mill summoning spells. Carlos builds an army of Skeleton that would make even a Lich Lord green with envy. These aren't your typical fragile bag-of-bones skeletons – we're talking full-blown death machines wielding legendary weapons! - Big brain energy: Our main character doesn't just luck into power-ups like some chosen one wannabe. This guy plans "everything". Need rare materials? He knows exactly which ancient ruins to hit up. Want legendary gear? He's already plotting his next three moves while everyone else is still figuring out the rules. @Again thanks for reading!@
