"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.

'They are clearing out the city tomorrow because of the trials? I guess that's the best way to go. Maybe I should take Ophelia to one of those safe places, she would be out of danger if she was there,' Jake thought. He placed his knuckles under his chin and thought.


He wanted to stay with her, but the risk was far too great. He didn't want to end up hurting her in any way.


[Rather than feeling bad for not being able to keep her safe, how about you simply make yourself stronger?]


The system, who Jake thought was already asleep, came back to speak, and when Jake heard his words, he realized that it was true. No one could defend and protect her like he would.


"System, show me my stats," he called out.
