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.

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.

Carlos grabbed it and flipped through the pages. It had everything—what monsters they'd face, how the competition would run, pairing and hunting details, scoring rules, the whole nine yards.

With this insider intel straight from a tournament organizer, Carlos felt like he was sitting pretty.

How could those other contestants—who were low-tier level at best—possibly stand a chance against him and his Purple Thornblade Skeleton Guards?

Worst case scenario, he'd fire up his bond and go on an absolute rampage.

Iris had her people jot down Carlos's team registration info. After giving him a few final words of advice, she headed off to the half-elf guards to start her daily grind.

Carlos took the booklet back to his room and dove into studying every detail, doing his homework before the big show.
